Mr. Phelps of Brandon, Canada, who
'7as in Chippewa Falls visiting friends,
said to the Independent of that city
that "the war feeling is running high
in Canada and that the people are
ready to sacrifice all they have to as
sist England in the struggle. He said
he never saw such loyalty as is shown
by the people all over Canada. Fathers
and mothers are publicly appealing to
the young men to join the colors. This
spring will see many new regiments
off to the front. They are the flower
of Canada and majority of them will
never return. It is an awful situation
but such is war The business situa-
ton of Canada today is the worst in it's
history and there will be no relief as
long as the war lasts. Many of the
towns in the Northwest territory are
without sufficient people to do business
and many stores are closed and their
owners fighting in foreign lands. 1t is
doubtful if a half crop will be planted
this year for want Of help. Many of
the Americans that came into Canada
during the boom times have returned to
the states and would be glad to dispose
of their holdings at any price. But do
not misunderstood me, have not lost
faith in Canada. The Northwest ter
ritory is the greatest grain growing
belt in the world AMI the man that ia
able to hold on until after the unfortu-
nate war is over, will be well paid. 1t
is predicted that about the first of May
another large army will sail from Cana
da for England.

because they go upon the tracks of
railroad companies. The only way to
evert this awful toll is preventive
taxation the same as they have in
Europe, and until then, mothers, keep
your children from the tracks. There
is always danger in trespassing on rail-
road property. The roads would prevent
tiff they could, but.it is not within their
power to do 80. A little caution may
be worth more than you can realize.

The wild conditions on the Chicago
wheat market have affected the To-

no sales of consequence.
Comparatively few crops are still

are holding for still higher prices.

day at $1.3Sg.
Even conservative traders were
willing to admit that exports at the
rate of 100000 bushels day, if
long continued, would seriously
threaten the domestic supply.
Italy and Rumania were the coun.
tries mentioned as likely soon to be
included in the war, and it could
not be denied that much of the
wheat bought was scheduled fol-

London, Jan. ga complete
change in the situation in the near
east may be brought about by the
Russian victory over the Turks in the
aucasus If the Turkish defeat is
as sweeping as has been reported
officially the virtual destruction of
two Turkish army corps and the re
pulse of a third-the Turkish menace
against the Russians in Trans-Cau-
casia has been removed. The loss Of
so many of their best trained officers
and men, it is believed here, will
compel the Turks to give up any
ambition they had of invading their
enemy's territories and force them
to concentrate on the defense of
their own country.
Military men, however, are taking
even greater interest in the Russian
invasion of Hungary through Uzsok
Pass in the Carpathians and their
rapid advance on Pennsylvania
through Bukowina simultaneously
with their movement toward Cra-
COW. These combined operations are
the most gigantic undertaken in the
war.

President Wilson has declined to
change his views on the female suf-

large delegation of women who call
ed on him that he considered suffrage
a state issue.
al am most unaffectedly cOmpli-
mented by this visit that you have
paid me-" the President told the
women. 81 have been called on sew
erai times to say what my position
is on the very important matter that
you are so deeply interested in. l
want to say that nobody can look on
the fight you are making without
great admiration, and certainly am
one of those who admire the tenacity
and the skill and the address with
which you try to promote the matter
thatyou are interested in.
'tBut am tied to a conviction
which have had all my life that
changes of this sort ought to be
rcught about state by state. If it
lere not a matter of female suf-
6ae, il it were matter of any
,Jk@r thing connected with suffrage,
l would hold the same opinion. 1t
is long-standing and deeply-ma-
tured conviction on my part and
therefore would be without excuse
to my own constitutional principles
if lent my support to this very inn
portant movement for an amend
ment to the constitution of the Unit
led States.
Frankly, | do not think that this
lis the wise or the permanent way to
build. know that you perhaps I'M
animously disagree with me. but you
will not think the less of me for
being perfectly frank in the avowal
Of my own convictions on that sub
ject: and certainly that avowal rep
resents no attitude of antagonism,
but merely an attitude of principle.
Il want to say again to you how
much complimented l am by your
call and also by the confidence that
You have so generously expressed in
me. ! hope that in some respects
may live to Justify that confidence"
