CANADA CAN SEND 100000
Could Finish Germany Alone, Min
lister of, Military Boasts.

New York, Oct S-Canada is will
ing and able to furnish 100000 pick
ed men to fight against Germany, if
the British Government needs them,
according to Col. Sam Hughes, the
Canadian Minister Of Military, who
sailed for England yesterday on the
steamer Cedric.l - a.--i.,,,..
Il Colonel Hughes follows in the
wake Of the first Canadian conting-
ent of about $4,000 men who left
Valcartier, Quebec, for England abb
out two weeks ago. He would not
discuss the object Of his visit other
than to say that he would have a
conference with the British War Of
fee and return to Canada in a few
weeks. He said that it was about
time to hear of this contingent being
in action.
"They are all crack Shots he
continued "and trained to the min
ute. When we supplement their num-
bers with the additional volunteers
who are now in camp at Valcartier
we shall have about 10000 men at
the front and good men, too-thc
best in the world"
"How many soldiers will Canada
send to the front?" he was asked.
That" he replied, depends upon
what the British Government wish
es of us. We could send enough men
to add the finishing touches to Ger
many without assistance either from
England or France; or, to set de-
finite figure we can supply the Gov
eminent with 100000 picked men.
This number will not be required
of us, however, nor anything like
this number. But they are available.
Why, we have been turning men a
way from the recruiting Offices.
Besides those $4,000 we have
sent | 900 men to Bermuda to re-
lieve the garrison there, and we have
5000 trained men on guard duty
Ottawa, Oct S-Though no official
announcement as to Colonel Hughes
plans after reaching England has
been made, it is believed that he will
go to the front with the Canadian
troops. J. d. HaZen will be acting
Minister Of Military during Colonel
Hughes absence.

DENOUNCES SIMIAN ANCESTRY
Citizens of North Carolina To Invcs-
tigate School Books.

New Bern, N. G. Oct Stalking
the stand that any such teachings
are in direct contradiction to the
principles and truths set forth in the
Bible a number OF the members OF
the "arious churc ~: of New Bern
are Genouncing several Of the ! ny
steal Biographies now in ui' in the
south which show that mar is a
higher order of animal and that in
ages past their forefathers have hop
ped about among the branches of
the trees. The view taken by the
church people is that God made man
in His form and then breathed life
into his nostrils and that these
teachings should be adhered to in
stead of the theory of Darwin. The
subject has come up for consider
able discussion here since the Pres
byterians of Virginia denounced the
use OF a physical geography in that
State which taught the theory OF
evolution.
Not only does this state Of affairs
exist in New Bern, but it is also I'M
derstood that the citizens Of Pam
lico and Carteret counties have al
so become interested u the subject
and are making an investigation to
discover whether or not such book
is used in the public schools of those
counties. If such is found to be the
case there is not the least doubt
but that it will be discarded and an
other put in use in its place.

States, according to Captain c. W.
Brown, of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass
Company, who also said that his CO.,

ders for window and plate glass
since the European war shut off i'm
portations; also that his company has
been asked by European manufac-
turers to assume contracts they had
taken before war developed.
I'VE could not assume these con-
tracts at the prices at which they
were taken.'' said Captain Brown,
because they were at prices 3 to 5
cents per square foot lower than we
could manufacture it for. The re-
suit has been that in all cases where
We have undertaken to supply the
glass on foreign contracts we have
taken them at a price that is remun-
erative and that considers American
wage rates. During the past two re-
auctions in the tariff laws, plate and
other qualities Of glass have suffered
reductions so severe that We cannot
compete on equal terms for foreign
trade. measuring wage and freight

GOOD CORN CROP.
Improvement Also Noted In Tobacco
BY Government Experts

Washington, Oct, S-Greater corn
crop prospects by 100000 bushels
and great improvement in tobacco in
creasing the prospects of that crop
over the forecast in September by
100000 pounds, were the features
of the Department of Agriculture's

terday.
An increase of 100000 bushels
in the potato crop, 21,OO0,OO0 bushels
in the oats crop and 100000 bus
hels in the apple crop also were fore
casted.
Spring wheat showed slight de-
crease, being 100000 bushels under
the September forecast, yet the COM
bined crop of winter wheat and

vest of that grain a record one.

COST OF INVASION.
Germans Lose 10000 Men and Abb
andon Every Thing in Russia.

London, Oct. S-The defeat of
the German army which invaded
Russia from East Prussia appears
from Russian accounts to have been
even more decisive than previously
stated. According to the Russian am.
bassador at Rome, the. Germans
were routed completely with loss.
of 10000 men and have been forced
to abandon everything. 49,
The Russians are now moving:
forward with the object Of again ln-a
vading East Prussia. This victory,
If it is as complete as reported IS OF
the greatest Importance to the Rus
slams as it will prevent the Ger
mans from undertaking from land
and sea operations which would
have compelled Russia to turn at
least a part of it's attention in this
direction,
Geheral Rennenkampf apparently
drove a wedge between the two Ger
man forces which were advancing
upon Drusgeniki and Ossowetz and
brought about the battle OF Angus
towo which resulted in a Russian
victory. IF the Germans have not re-
tired from the left bank Of the Me
men river at Drusgeniki, their de-
feat at Augustowo must compel them
to do so. The moral effect Of anoth-
or invasion of East Prussia will al
so be of Importance.
