the basket factory, bought the plant a
year ago last March, installing giant
lathe weighing 1900 pounds, used in
cutting logs into veneer, steaming and
boiling watts and large amount of spec
ial machinery used in the production of
baskets.
From the first the factory has done a
steady and profitable busiaess, the out
put having been sold practically as soon
as made, and with somewhat improved
facilities and plenty Of raw material the
outlook for the present year was for an
even better business than was done last
year. From twenty to thirty hands
would have been employed with the fac
tory in full operation, and the loss to
the business interests of the village
through the destruction of the industry
will be considerable in case it is not re-
built. The annual pay roll would, in all
probability, have been between $4,000
and $5, 600 besides the sums paid out for
logs.
Mr.. Smith has repeatedly stated his
qualification at the assistance which was
rendered during the fire. He estimates
his loss at S8,0OO.OO, with insurance of
100000. Aside from his position as a
business man, Mr.. Smith has been a
fiirst-class citizen and in case it is pos
sible for the community to assist him
in rebuilding his plant, or in inducing
him to do so, the Messenger will be glad
to do anything that lies within its
power.

come to our men," the account says,
for they are at any rate secure from
shell fire, the artillery being unable
to shoot in the fear that it would hit
it's own infantry. Indeed for either
side, a trench close to the enemy often
is a safer spot than any other in the
fighting zone.
Tact agreements among the men
so situated are often made" the re-
port says, "a notable one being for
permission of the representatives of
either side to venture from the forts
to heat tea on smouldering fire at
a farm.
Friend and foe continued to make
use of this for days. until for some
reason the Germans broke the truce
and put a bullet in the shoulder of
one of our men, thereby cutting off the
supply of hot water from both sides
for good and all"
Better for Aviators
Beyond the hardships inflicted on
individuals" Col. Swinton says, the
change in the weather has chiefly af-
fected aerial reconnaissance and
roads better and the clear, crisp at
mosphere aids the aviators to see the
landscape more freely.
1.-THE Germans in one place are using
a 42-centimetre howitzer against the
British left, it is said, and the re-
port tells of the capture on Nov. u
of a German aeroplane bearing circu-
lars calling on the Hindus to desert.
Two more German aeroplanes were
brought down Nov. 90, one after a
running fight in which British avia-
tor was wounded. One German ma
chine was captured, but the other sue
ceeded in landing within the German
lines.
Some Of the roads behind the en-
emy's front line in one quarter Col.
Swinton writes, have, 1t is believed,
become impossible owing partly to
the weather conditions existing before
the recent drop in the temperature
and also to the action of the allies ar
tillery. 1t is possible to render roads
impracticable from long range fire
from heavy guns, either by Smelling
any object that attempts to pass or
merely by dropping shell on the road
itself.
"A combination of craters, such as
those made by a large calibre high ex-
plosive she'll and deep mud forms an
obstacle difficult Of negotiation by mo-
tor transport"

BIG
ANNUIT|ES TO
THOSE WHO
AID GERMANY

London, Nov. 25.-Q042 P. M).-The
question whether the payment of big an
nuities was being made to certain rela-
tons of the reigning royal family when
members of their families were fighting
raised in the House of Commons today by
William Young, member of Parliament
for Perthshire.
Mr. Young asked Premier Asquith
whether he was aware that Prince Albert
of Schleswig- Holstein, son of Princess
Cristian of Schleswig- Holstein, a daugh-
ter of the late Queen Victoria and aunt of
King George, was engaged as combat
ant with the German army; whether the
prince was in this country at the out
break of the war and whether any effort
had been made to detain him.
Mr. Asquith replied CURLY that he had
been informed that "Prince Albert was
serving in a military capacity in Germa-
n.y. but said he had no knowledge when
he left England. Mr. Young then sug
gested that the status of the princes
family, who he said evidently were Ger
man citizens, should be inquired into and
asked the premier whether he considered
it lust and expedient that the British
taxpayer should be called upon to pay
$4,000 per annum for the up-keep of this
family" To this Mr.. Asquith made no re-
Spouse. The propriety of continuing a
similar pension to the Duchess of Alba
ny, widow of a son of Queen Victoria,
whose son, the Duke of Saxe-Coburng
and Gotha. is fighting for Germany also
has been questioned.

COL, SWINTON TELLS OF SILENT Gun
and FRIENDSHIP IN The TRENCHES

London, Nov. %, 4.40 P. Might
but interesting touches from the bat
tie front from the pen of the British
eye witness, Col. E. D. Swinton. under
date of Nov. %. were given OUT today
by the London Press Bureau.
OF chief interest is the statement
that the Germans are using a silent
gun, probably of pneumatic equipment.
Concerning this weapon, the account
says:
"In our center, the enemy employed
a silent gun which may be pneumatic
or worked by some mechanical con-
trivance. There is no report of the dis
charge, the projectile travels through
the air without any of the warning
made by an ordinary gun and the first
notice to be received of its arrival is
the detonation. So far, the weapon has
done no damage"
Opponents Trenches
The account speaks Of the trenches
of the opponents as being at some
points only 40 yards apart. The Eng
fish and Germans talk back and forth,
hold shooting competitions and ex-
change tobacco much after the man
ner of the Civil War.

PRAISE FROM

7 Washington, Nov. 25.-Secretary Garri-

and appreciation of the generals handling
of the situation at Vera Cruz during the

when he arrives with his troops at GAL
weston tomorrow and is as follows:
my Dear General: Now that you and
your command have returned safely to
this country l desire to express to you
the great appreciation that have of the
excellent service rendered by you and
the men under you while at Vera Cruz
.'In many ways the situation there was
as difficult. if not more so, as actual war
fare. The proper performance of the duty
called for self-restrain, Judgment cool
ness and discipline in the very highest
degree. The fact that during all the
months that you occupied Vera Cruz
there was not one untoward incident is of
great significance. Any laxness of dis
cipline or any careless handling of the
situation might have precipitated conse-
quences of a most disastrous character.
The skill and ability of the officers and
the discipline and exemplary conduct of
the troops not only prevented any unto
ward incident but reflected the greatest
credit upon themselves and the country
which they representeds
Il desire to convey to you and the Off
GERS and men of your command my
warmest thanks and sincerest apprecia-
ton.
Sincerely yours.

that Gen. Blanco with his troops had

The Reply

Please inform the German govern
ment that the departments suggestion
made to the belligerent countries for
the adoption, for the sake of uniform
ity. of the Declaration of London as
a temporary code of naval warfare,
for use in the present war, has been
withdrawn because of the unwilling
ness of some of the belligerents to
adopt the Declaration of London
without modification. The United
States government therefore will in
sist that it's right and duties and
those of its citizens in the present
war be defined by the existing rules
of international law and the treaties
of the United States with the belliger-
ents independently of the provisions
of the declaration and this govern
ment will reserve the right to enter
a demand or protest in every case in
which the rights and duties mentioned
above and defined by existing rules Of
international law are violated or their
free exercise hindered by the authort-
ties of the belligerent governments
The message was signed by Coun-
sellor Lansing, then acting secretary
of state.
