SPEAKS UP For CANADA
And No Misunderstanding His
Land He Made $3.50
Per Acre.

So many Americans now have per-
sonal knowledge OF Canada that false
reports concerning this country are
being continually corrected by Amer
leans themselves who know the facts,
and who are too fair-minded to let q
false statement go unchallenged. A
case in point arises out OF a statement
supposed to be made by resident Of
Alberta, AID published recently in the
Spokesmal-Review, of Spokane, In
which the condition OF settlers In this
country was painted In very bad
way indeed. The writer of this At
tack on Canada refused TO let his
name be known, so it can be taken
for what 1t is worth, but Mr.. s. L.
Wallace, OF N 4723 Crestline, Spokane.
who lived for some years in Western
Canada, came to the defense OF the
country in the following letter which
was published in the Spokesman-Re
view Of February II, 1916
ITO the Editor OF the Spokesman-Rs-
view:
In Sundays Spokesman-R Review was
a letter from man in Alberta to the
chamber of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was run by the rail-
roads, banks and manufacturers; that
once a man got there he never could
get away Had this man published
that letter over his own signature
there is no doubt but he could get out
OF Canada.
No country will do as much to help
a man to get on his feet, If he tries to
help himself, as Canada l know Of
the government helping people to pro-
visions, feed, seed grain and fuel. and
charging only cost OF delivery TO tho

Could Make Concessions.

The obvious deduction, according to
the view here, is that there is moth
ing to prevent Germany from making
certain concessions if the leaders feel
that they can properly do So.
Whether they do feel that they can
go thus far is, of course, another
question.
There is unquestionably a consider
able peace party in Germany, which
includes powerful financial interests
represented by the Bourse organs and
the Frankfurter Zeitung and includ-
ing also the Berlin Tageblatt and So
cialist organs. Certain high officials,
also, would consent to a breach or
war with the United States only most
reluctantly and under pressure of
what seemed to them an unavoidable
necessity.
1t may be not without significance
that Macmillan Harden was per-
mitted to print remarkable article
in his paper Zei1unft, defending Pres
ident Wilson's standpoint in plain
words.

BERLIN DECIDES ON

Chancellor Returns From Great Head
quarters to Capital, Indicating
Decision Has Been Reached.

Berlin (via Copenhagen to London) 4,
April 24.-Thc imperial chancellor,
DIR. VonBethmann-H ollweg, returned
to Berlin yesterday, which would
seem to justify the assumption that
the empires responsible leaders at
great headquarters have finished con-
sideration of the American note and
reached decision concerning Ger
many's reply.
The chancellor's return, it is under
stood, was not expected until Tues
day; hence general decision appears
to have been reached earlier than
looked for. There is no intimation Of
when the reply will be formulated,
but there seems to be much signifi-
canoe in the fact that the Lokal An
zeiger, which is consistently we'll in
formed, says that "Germany's
strength and prestige have so in
creased in the last twenty months in
the eyes of the whole world that the
German government has, indeed, only
to follow the commandments of wis

the Mexican de facto government has
demonstrated its ability to capture or
crush Villa and his adherents and

ALMSA0U5E INMATES ARE
MAKING MONEY THERE

ATLANTA, Ga. May Eliminates of
the Fulton county almshouse are max
ing money. They were sent there be-
cause they were too poor to support
themselves, but since then several of
them have found ways to pick I'D
change. Many of them are richer bv
a few dollars than they were when
they entered the institution. If they
had better opportunities to dispose of
their goods they might become self
supporting.
One old man over sixty makes bird
cages, Another has earned to be an
expert gardener. A woman of eighty
sews all day long on quilts. Another
does beautiful tatting. Few of them
are so aged and bed-ridden that they
are not busy at something.
1t is spring at the poor house now.
Aunt June Wood, who declares she is
100 years old, sits in the sunshine or
the white steps, chattering like a
school girl with Matildy Jane Smith,
who was 81 years old last Saturday,
aid says she has never spoken an
ugly word in her life.
On the front porch two old men play
checkers, while a warm wind sweeps
across the valley to touch their with
cred cheeks.
When you go to the poor house you
pass through the richest part of At
anita. The poor house is far out be-
yond Buckhead, near Powers Ferry.
Peachtree street leads to it; Peach

green lawns and garages for expensive
automobiles.
