EXPLOIT OF BRAVE BELGIAN
Swan Canal to Lower Bridge 70:
Troops and Succeeded But
Lost His Life.

London.-An instance of conspicu.
Gus bravery by Belgian soldier, who
sacrificed his life to help his regiment
across the Willebroeck canal, is re-
lated. The soldiers name was Tresig-
MES. He volunteered to swim the
canal in. the face of German troops
and try to lower bridge that had
been raised and which made it i'm
possible for the Belgians to cross and
engage the enemy. He scribbled a
note to his wife and children, read.
ing:
God will bless and comfort you"
Then he plunged into the canal, to the
amazement of the Germans, who with
held their fire for a few moments.
This gave Tresignies time to accom-
plish his purpose, and when the Ger
mans perceived what he was trying to
do they concentrated their fire on him.
He was riddled with bullets and sank
just as the bridge crashed down into
its place.
The Belgians rushed across 1t with
shouts of triumph, and the Germans,
who were not in great strength. fed
precipitately. The body of Tresignies
was buried with full military honors
after the engagement.

Comments Wilson's stateoraft


Norwalk.-The North East Ohio
Methodist conference, in session here
unanimously adopted the following
resolution introduced by DR.. w. B.
Slutz of Wooster:
Whereas in the providence of God
the Hon. Woodrow Wilson, president
of the United States, is daily giving
evidence of craftsmanship of high
order at time when the noblest pa
triotism of world dimensions is called
forth,
Therefore be it resolved by the
Northeast Ohio conference of Meth
odist Episcopal church assembled in
Norwalk, o., that we assure his ex-
cellency. the president, of our con-
fidence in him as wise Christian
ruler and pledge to him our co-opera-
tion in behalf of world peace.
Resolved further, that we join with
him in earnest supplication and
prayer to Almighty God that He
vouchsafe His children now at war
blessed peace, and that He will restore
to the nations of the earth the good
will of our God, to the end that the
brotherhood of man may come to all
lands through the healing touch OF
Christ
"Also be it resolved that this action
be wired in a night letter to the pres
ident at Washington, signed by the
president and secretary of the confer
enee."

Many British Officers Killed.

London.-The official casualty lists
received here are proof that the bat
ties in France exceed in violence and
stubbornness anything since the strug-
gle at Port Arthur.
The part that British officers are
playing is illustrated by the bare tes-
timony of the casualty lists. Seven
hundred and ninety-seven officers are
among the killed, wounded and miss
ing, which is percentage out Of all
proportion to the losses In the ranks.
One hundred and thirty officers have
been killed, 38S have been wounded,
and 279 are missing. Many Of the
missing probably must later be record
ed as killed or wounded.
The Coldstream guards have re-
ported thirty-one casualties among the
officers. The Kings Royal rifles and
the Suffolk regiment have each had
twenty-five officers killed OF wounded; !;
the Gordon Highlanders twenty-three,
the Munster fusileers twenty-one. the
Cameron HighlanSers and the Ches-
hire regiment each nineteen.
The field artillery has lost fifty-six
and the medical corps fifty-two Off
GERS.
Listed by ranks, the names of colon
els and lieutenant colonels number
thirty two, majors eighty-f1ve, and cap.
tains 246.
The homes of many of the best.
known families in the kingdom are In
mourning.

ENVOY DEFIES WILSON
TURK AMBASSADOR DECLINES TO
WITHDRAW INTERVIEW.
VIII Leave United States Within Sort.
nlght-5attIeship North Carolina
to Turkey.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The battle
ship North Carolina after transferring
her cargo of gold to the yacht Scor-
pion, was ordered to proceed to
Beirut, Turkey, to protect American
interests in the Ottoman empire. The
Scorpion met the North Carolina at
Brindisi and now is on her way to
Constantinople.
Washington, Sept. 26.-That A. Rus
TEN Bey, Turkish ambassador to the
United States, has asked his govern
ment for leave of absence was Off
cially stated at the White House.
The envoy has sent word to the
White House to this effect. Further
comment by administration officials is
declined.
1t is understood that Rustem Bey
told the president frankly in his letter
that he still supported the position he
took in several interviews, but that in
view. of having incurred the displeas.
ure Of the United States he thinks il
best to leave his post. This, however
is not officially confirmed at the White
House.
The interview to which the Turkish
ambassador referred was contained in
statement given to the press on Sep
tember l, in which A. Rustem Bey
protected the name of his native coun'
try. In part he had said:
THAT there have been massacres in
Turkey l cannot, unfortunately, deny
butfthe Armenians and Maronites, who
were the victims, suffered at the hands
of the Moslems not as Christians but
as political agitators."
After referring to the Pogroms OF
Russia, the smoking to death of AL
gerians by France and severe meas
ures adopted in England to punish In
dian mutineers, the diplomat has the
following to say about the United
! States:
"And since large number of Amer
ican papers are siding with Great Brit
ain and France in this affair, l will
permit myself to say that the thought
of the lynchings which occurred daily
in the United States and the memory
of the water cures in the Philippines
should make them chary of attacking
Turkey in accordance with acts oi
savagery committed by her under
provocation compared with which the
economic competition of an Italian ol
the sniping of a Filipino, or even the
outrage of negro, are as nothing.
"Supposing, for the sake Of argu
ment, what in reality could never hap
pen, that the American negroes were
discovered to be engaged in a con
spiracy with the Japanese to facilitate
the invasion Of the United States by
the latter, low many of them would be
left alive to tell the tale?"

HOUSE PASSES WAR TAX BILL
Act is Intended to Raise $1o5, 100000
Annual Revenue to Make Up Loss
Caused by Conflict in Europe.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The house
passed the war tax bill which is in
tended to raise $1O5,0O,000 annual rev.
enue to make up the loss caused by the
European war. The vote was 233 to
1876.
Eleven Democrats voted against
the bill. They were: O'Eair, Illinois;
Hobson, Alabama; Ragsdale, South
Carolina; Sisson, Stephens and With
erspoon, Mississippi; Galloway, Tex
as; Church, California; Stevens, New
Hampshire; Thompson, Oklahoma, and
Wingo,- Arkansas. One Progressive,
Copley of Illinois, voted for it.
The feature of the debate was the
speech of Minority Leader Mann of
Illinois against the bill. He charged
the Democrats with extravaganza.
Representative Hammond, Demo
crat, of Minnesota, said that the bill
was caused solely because of the
European war and the consequent fall
ing off in customs duties.

mitted suicide by taking an over
dose Of drugs. Lillian Bronson, who
has been an assistant in DR.. Bishops
office, saw the physician take the poi
son, and at once called other physi-
clans in the same building. They
used the stomach pump, but he died
In few minutes.
When Miss Bronson was asked what
DR.. Bishop had taken she picked up a
bottle of drug tablets. The bottle was
handed back to her, the doctors think

lets out in her hand and took them.
She is in the hospital in a critical con-
