TRENCH OFFICER
 SPEAKS WELL. or
 KAISER WILHELM

A letter from the western front, which has been published in the Der lin papers says:
 "I have just heard what J certainly did not expect to hear during this war-a French officer speak well Of the Kaiser. It happened In this way IA few days ago, while visiting a war prisoners' camp, ] met a French ma jor surgeon with whom had @ long talk about his experiences since he was taken prisoner while attending the wounded after @ fight near sois- sons.
 "At first wo were treated in the most outrageous manner, said the Frenchman, evidently because the Germans believed they might scare or bully us into betraying what we knew about the strength of tho French re- views at this particular point of the line. We were accused of having fir- ed at German troops under cover of the Red Cross and tho evidence of hatred against us increased at every station where the train stopped A number Of false witnesses against us were on the train and were ordered to repeat their testimony when we reached our final destination
 "At Coblentz we saw a high officer with O fierce moustache wearing a brilliant uniform and when he came closer we discovered 1t was the Kai- ser
 Indignant at the airocious accusa- tions made against us, who had been treating tho German wounded with the same care as our own, ] went straight up to the Kaiser, before any one thought of stopping me and said: Your majesty, we have been accused of firing on your soldiers from ambu- lances. and want to assure you that this is absolutely false. If your ma lesty had any idea how strict our regulations were, and how precious are 'reputatino and honor you would sec that such a thing la utterly im- possible Even if one of us should order the men to fire, not a single French soldier would obey us. On contrary. it was your soldiers who at Bertrix fired on our ambulances.
 "Tt is possible major said the Kaiser in French, and turning to one of our adjutants he added. CT am well aware that faults have been made and excesses have taken place here and there on either side, but these were committed by individuals and give no right to condemn all. ! am convinced. major, that you could never be guilty of a crime Of which you are accused, and shall give the necessary orders to have the com plaint deeply probed. and dropped im- medlately.,

The S. S. Dora, Capt. Westland, ar rived from Seattle to resume her run in westward waters after an absence of something over seven months. The Dora has practically the same crew the Santa Ana had while on the west ern run with the exception of the en. glneering corps. While down in se- attle the Dora was drydocked and re- ceiyed considerable repairs and new coat of paint, and will be able to make the regular monthly run from here for 8 good many more years.
 corwln to Take Run7
 The owners of the steamer Corwin have now under contemplation the plan of placing that vessel on the run between Seward and Anchorage during the winter time. Owing to the success which the Corwin has had in bucking Che ice in the Arctic and Boring sea it is thought she might possibly be able to make headway through the ice on the upper portions of Cook Inlet-(seward Gateway.)

FRITZ KREisLER THINKS
 TRENCH LIFE A BENEFIT


 Fritz Krelaler. the noted violinls', who Is appearing at the Moore thea tro. Seattle. under the auspices of
 tho Ladies Musical Club. speaking in an interview of his experiences on the Austrian battlefield last year seems to be of the opinion there is something radically wrong with mod ern life and methods of living. His own experiences and the experiences of the men with whom he was on the battle line showed him that physical conditions improved enormously un- der hardshlps which are almost unbe- lievable. He and the men with him grew stronger keener and hardier and he himself had it not been for the wound that disabled him, would have been in perfect physical and nervous condition when he came out from ser vice. Said Mr. Kreisler:

farmers intensely interested in the
work, and this interest is stimulated
by the awarding of prizes for the best
produce grown by them. At the Kent
County Annual Corn Show, which is
to be held in Dover on December 2, B
and 4, there will be a special exhibit
of the produce grown by the members
of the boys and girls clubs, and ar
rangements have been made to award
several valuable prizes to the young
folks.
BY organizing the children into corn
growing and canning clubs County
Agent Pence succeeds in making them
more contented with the environments
of farm life, and the work will un-
doubtedly be of vast value to the
youthful farmers.
Mr.. Pence is doing a vast amount OF
good for Kent county, and his work IS
largely appreciated by the farmers OF
the county. The organized effort to
improve the farm, the farmer and
country life in general is still in its
infancy but Mr.. Pence is making
careful study of the problems that con
front our farmers and the various con
ditions existing throughout the coun-

and the effect of various methods OF
fertilization so that his work in the
future will prove even more valuable
than his work in the past.
Mr.. Pence was appointed by the gov
ernment to do this work, and his ser
vices to the farmers, who really rear
the benefit of his experiments, are alb
solutely free. Already the special at
tention he has given to the fertilizer
requirements of the various soil types
as we'll as to the study of the drain
age throughout the county, has made
a noticeable increase in the produc-
ton of many farms over the produc-
ton in past years.
Undoubtedly, however, Mr.. Pence's
most valuable work is the promotion
of interest in agricultural work among
the children of the rural districts,
which will perhaps be a better med

demonstrations in canning will be CIV
en- for the benefit of the school teach
ers and pupils; also corn judging for
the boys. This is an agricultural
meeting to attract county wide inter
est. On Saturday, the fourth, the
whole program for the day will be de-
voted to the interests of the farm boys
and girls, and especially for the bene-
fit of the club members, who number
about so, and who come from all
parts of the county. Good talks will
be made and boys who have secured
good yields at a low net cost will re-
port how they grew their corn, giving
details of seed selection, fertilization,
etc. The prizes to the winners in the
corn contest, the boys and girls gar
den club and the canning club will be
awarded on that date. These will con
sist of money prizes, books and con-
.ributed articles. Four prizes will be
given to the boys who succeed in
growing the most beans from one
pound of seed, and three prizes to the
BOY showing the best stalk Of soy
beans.
The executive committee on boys
md girls clubs, composed of J. Coop
er, Master Pomona Grange; J. E. Car
oil, County Superintendent; A. r.
Benson, Vice-P President State Corn
Growers Association, and NJ. o. Pence
County Agent, had a recent meeting
o arrange for the exhibits and dis
.ribution of prizes. It was the unan-
nous desire of the committee to have
he prizes of small donations and well
distributed. A prize list will soon be

In addition to the prizes for CLUB
members, there will be premiums for
adult corn growers. To encourage
the farmers of the county to exhibit,
the State Corn Growers Association

corn exhibited on the above dates.
Kent county gives promise this year
to take the lead both in yield of grain
