Then the telephone in the redoubt

It06zt08 UOl0C en0 raining most OF the
time. When they arrived at Emerson
on Sunday evening they we're met few
miles out by Mayor Casselman. He
found them divided to 1872 in number,
cold, hungry, and as helpless as go many
sheep. It was case Of pity and charity
instead ct war. They had no leaders,
and had 40 very definite object except
to 60 somewhere in tho hopes Of getting
something to eat and place to sleep.
He hurried back to town and got 1872
loaves of bread and IS pounds Of sausage
ready for their supper. They were put
in the exhibition building on the fair
grounds and few guards put over them
to keep them together. They slept on
the bare floor. IL
Meantime the American immigration
authorities from Winnipeg and at this
point we're watching out to prevent the
"army" from coming over the boundary
tas 1t was very evident that they were
not desirable citizens" The poor vag-
rants made no attempt to come across
when it was explained to them that they
would not be allowed to come.
On Tuesday detachment of soldiers
came from Winnipeg and put the "army"
aboard cars took tnem to the camp at
Brandon. where they will be informed
during the war-and where they will get
three meals, tobacco and twenty-five
cents day, with nothing.to do.
This sort of life must be somewhat
attractive, as we learn that about two
hundred more started from Winnipeg on
Tuesday for Brandon via Emerson.
Whether it vas so planned We doubt,
but the result must be quite satisfactory
to the Winnipeg authorities who have
thus gotten rid of lot Of unemployed,
hungry men. whose support was pro-
blem and who might at any time make
this city lot:of trouble.
Years ago We doubted the policy adopt
ed by Canada in inducing large numbers
Of European foreigners to immigrate to
western Canada. A very large proper.
ton Of these people were Of very poor
grade, and many not able to assimilate
themselves to the conditions Of pioneer
life. Some with religious beliefs, and
others with old world customs that kept
them from becoming true and useful
citizens of tho commonwealth and from
whom but little could be expected until
the second generation was born and
grown.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TO

New York. May 14th.-The State
Zeitung today publishes over the sig-
nature Of Herman Ridder, its editor. an
article entitled "Press, President and
People," in which 1t says:
~The German americans must suffer
States and Germany the pains Of which
their fellow citizens can never know any
thing. 1t is rather q time for showing
them the greatest degree Of considera-
ton.
''They have fought to uphold the flag
in the past and they will do 60
against hny emergency Whatsoever.
They deserve the fruits Of past loyalty
until they forfeit the right to claim
them. There has never been but one
flag under which the German-American
has fought. There never can be but
one ~ Junder which he will ever fight.
And chat flag 10 the Stars and Stripes"
Tho great majority Of the people Of
this county and Of adjoining counties
are Of Canadian birth or origin. Natur-
ally these people are in sympathy With
Britain in this wsr.
Such people should remember and wa
think most Of them -, that the same
motives which make them sympathizs
with the allies would also affect those Of
German birth or extraction in s,milar
way, but for tho Teutons.
The letter from Mr. Ridder, 10 fine, It
is just what tho native born American
desires from the immigrant American.

forty miles, the Russians have retreated
also from the Csrpsthian passes and are
now making stsnd along the river San

They are now practically just about
