AMERICAN REFUGEES
ARRIVING IN LONDON

Two Thousand Crowd Rooms Of Re
lief Committee. Many Amerl-
canlxed Germans

London, Sept. Among the 2000
Americans who crowded the rooms Of
the American relief committee when
II opened this morning were 100 who
came over from Hare on the Amer
lean cruiser Tennessee. The re
mainder were chilly from Flushing
Ostend and Rotterdam and were
largely Americanized Germans, who
are virtually without money and who
must be assisted back to the United
States by the committee.
Refugees from Germany say there
is stu q large number of American
citizens In Germany who are unable
to get out because Of the limited
train facilities. There are only two
trains i day from Berlin to Rotterdam
each carrying 200 passengers. conse
quently Americans are altering Out
Of the German capital very slowly
Other refugees report that Rotterdam
IL still crowded and that many Am
orleans are waiting in Holland for an
opportunity to get to England.
!. A large proportion Of the fugitives
who are applying to the committee
for relief are absolutely penniless.
The crowd this morning was SO great
that the committee merely gave ap
plicants enough money to buy some
thing to eat and issued cards which
will be presented in, the day to- the
finance committee for further help !.
Although the committee has been
well systematized and has corps

NO FEAR OF
DEFEAT

DEFEAT
We have refrained from comment
ing on the result OF the recent Re
publican Convention, First Congress
sional District, rather prefering to
wait until other localities had said
what we knew they would say as both
friends and foes could say nothing
more nor less than 1t was most
harmonious convention. While each
candidate, with his friends fought to
the last, and contested every inch of
ground vigorously, when the verdict
IVES rendered the vote to make 1t

that shook the very walls OF the the
atre, and a striking manifestation Of
the high place Congressman Howell
occupies in the hei\ts Of the people
throughout his entire district.
The Eastern Utah Advocate, an in
dependent weekly, published at Price
under striking headlines wherein 1t
proclaims that the Republicans need
have no fear of defeat speaks of the
convention as follows:
Congressman Joseph Howell was
named as a candidate for Con-
gress on the first ballot by the First
Congressional convention at the
Utah theater Monday afternoon.
He received 1863 q total OF 295
votes in the convention. His near.
est opponent was Congressman ia
cob johnson. of Sanpete county,
who received forty votes, while the
remainder of the votes was scat
tered among the other nominees,
there being seven in all before the
convention.
Howell took big lead after the
delegation from Cache county had
cast its entire SO votes for him.
He never was headed. Johnson,
who received the entire delegation
Of 81 votes in Sanpete county, re-
ceived but nine votes from four
other counties. b. C.. Call of Box

Howells strength was evident
from the start, and when T. II.
Merrill placed his name before the
convention there was demonstra-
ton from his supporters lasting
several minutes. Had all the OPP

still have been selected. as he re.

ponents being but 126. Howell's
strength was not confined to the

before the convention from the va
rious parts of the state there was
no feeling against any candidate or
delegation. Those who made the
nominating speeches had nothing
but praise for the opponents Of
their man. Not harsh word was
heard in the convention and when

nounced naming Congressman How

applause from every section Of tho

most of the delegates satisfied with

Fault finding and blame never yet re-

Archimedes with which you can move the

in doing the thing we were censUred for do
