THE coLoNEEs WESTERN TRIP AND ITS EFFECT

The story is being published in the East that one Of the purposes of The Cooners western trip to stffen up the backbone of Gov Johnson of California vho it is represented had about decided to cast his lot with President Wilson and the Democrats. It s claimed that Gov Johnson recognizes the great quail ties behind what he believes to be growing confidence on the part Of the people In President Wilson and that he desires to offset tho movement of Progressyes to- ward standpat Republcanism by creating diversion toward the more progressive policies of the adminis- traton In standardization of this contention h is al- eged that Gov Johnson year assisted to elect Sen ator Phelan the original Wilson leader in California It is further said of the leaning of Gov Johnson toward Democracy reached The Colonel at Oyster Bay and # there is anything in the world that is disastefu to The Colonel 1t is the thought that an era of Democracy is being ushered in by President w son.
 The Colonel hates Democrats with the same kind of hatred that he possesses for all of his political enc mics. But more important than his hatred of Demo crats is The Coloneps conviction that period of Dem ocratc ascendency at the present time such as that which prevailed for more than haltcentury following Jefferson would give him place in history compara be with that of the Adamses-men whose political pol ices were repudiaed by those of their day It s said further that The Colonel senses that the times are pregnant with the seeds of Democracy, sowed by a popular President and he is striving with might and main to stem the rising tide.
 These same commentators upon the present stua ton contend that The Colonel was ready to join the Re publcans on the best they would have to offer when he left for the West but that he found that the tendency among those Progressiyes who have not al ready joined the Republicans is toward the Democratic party and Wilson instead of back into Republican camp. They say that his recent announcements that he win remain with the Progressive party were meant to stop the exodus toward Democracy There is offer ed one more cause for The colOnes decision. That ' that after careful analysis of the situation during tho course of his trip he concluded that the Democrats VII win in 1s1s whether he became Republican agair or not and that Republican defeat after compro mise with him and his following would not only near a complete repudiation of him, but 1t would mean tha the cornerstone of that often predicted era of gcos feeling" such as was naugurated by the Jefferson cd ninistration eliminated in the disappearance of th Federal party and reached its climax n the unanimou election of the Democratic Monroe. had been laid Therefore he decided to remain Progressive, keel as many of his old following from being absorbed b. the other parties as possible and be ready to play fo position in the Congressional elections of 1918 and th Presidential contest of 1920.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, via London-For the first time accredited newspaper correspon- dents have been allowed to enter that zone where men in khaki speaking English hold portion of the allied line
 Where the trench crosses the road the French and British are elbow to elbow facing the Germans. French peasants and villagers are living and working under shell fire. neighbors to the British guns concealed from Ger man aeroplanes, which shake their houses as they fire. Signs in English at the French crossroads give direc- tlons to traffic and all French names are pronounced according to the Eng fish spelling. 30 that the soldiers or officers will not fail to understand them.
 One is impressed with the immen- sity of the British resources. the mum bers of motor trucks and the complete ness and thoroughness of all the equip ment. All food and all supplies are brought from England, while the French shops are thriving on the Eng fish luxuries which they sell to the troops.
 The French are learning to say "top dog" That expression was one most often heard the first day the corres- pendent arrived at the front from both officers and men. "Top dog now" says Tommy Atkins and the generals One gets II in the broad Scotch, Irish and cockney accent and in broken French.
 It expresses the opinion that a turn in the tide has come and that the worst is behind them.
 The British artillery fire, which was weaker early in the campaign, now is stronger all along the line than that of the Germans Once the correspondents were permitted to visit the British line everybody talked with perfect frank ness concerning the operations, and

 eve change the shifts in the trenches" said a hriGadier general "sometimes every forty v-eight hours hut sometimes loss or more frequently Tt all depends on the hardships and keeping the men fit"
 The officer pointed out places where the positions on both sides despite the attacks and counterattacl5s, were the same as last October Yet, though dead from the attacks lie between tho trenches, close to the parapets. the Germans will not agree to an irmistice to bury them. the officer said
 One heard much In Encland of the hate of the German for the Fnclish. but here at the front no hate seemingly is evinced by the British. despite the assertion that it Is their dotermina- tion to fight 10 the finish.
 "The Germans hate us because we are going to be the top dog" Tommy Atkins says.
 From the commander in chief down. simple living and the duty of keeping well are rules that are being rigidly followed Field Marshal Sir John French, the British commander, occu- pies a house His office is the drawing room the appointments of which have not been disturbed He dimes with his aids in the dining room.

COLLAPSE IN THE MARKET
 FOR RAW FURS DUE TO WAR

GENESEO, N. Y.-Livingston county fur bearers will this winter have an almost complete rest from pursuit, thanks to the collapse of the market for raw furs. The depreciation in the value of trappers' produce is due l. most entirely to the European war, which has shut off exportation to the points of greatest demand.
 Most of the furs this fall bring less than half of what they did last year. A prime coonskin, worth last year $4, with difficulty brings $1.5O this season. Mnskrat skins or "ratskins,' as they are better known here, are next to worthless
 Most of the fur bearers are nocturnal providers and are not as easily extermi hated as birds or squirrels, but high prices for furs in recent years have caused systematic inroads until just such an off season as this is badly needed.

 TROOPS AT FRONT ExULT

instead of the late starts and the long which characterize such tours they are usually awakened at 6.30 o'clock in the morning and kept going until s at night, with the first aid packages serv- ed out at the breakfast table
 One might think fro mthe stability of all the appointments that the British had no expectation except for long war; yet the universal opinion is that the fall will see victory and the end The thin line which held in the de fense of the channel ports is deep now
 One is surprised at the excellence of the aeroplane service. when is it real iZed that the corps is only three years old This is not due to the superior flying of the British airmen but to the thoroughness of their equipment and mechanical department, and the prodi- essary assistance and resources
 Everything but the actual manufac- ture of the engines is being done at the front. The engines are assembled and the wings made in different shops near the aeroplane base Successful reconnaissance by aircraft has now be- come a matter of mechanical care and organization. The British aviator seeems keenly 'o enjoy these maneu- vers and the chance to chase an enemy machine.
 The official medical corps showed the correspondent charts of the sickness among the soldiers. which is less than that among the troops at home, despite the strain the men are under when they take their turns in the trenches. This is due to the giving to the men of all the the wholesome food they can eat and plenty of exercise when they are out of tho trenches, and enforcing all sanitary regulations with the strictest discipline
