CANADIANS HAVE
 NJ USE FUR ,THE
 GERMAN OFFICER
IRenuhIlcan A. D. le.c Wirel


 OTTAWA. Ont. Nov lS.-Canadian soldiers have learned to treat with good nature and trust the privates captured in the ranks of their Ger man adversaries. but the Teuton off, cers have gained a reputation for un- speakable treachery" according to an official communication issued here by the Canadian war records office de- scribing in detail the taking of the Re- gina trench by Dominion troops at mid . night of November 10, after AS hours artillery bombardment.
 Instances of this treachery are all too numerous" the statement says "the following must suffice as a specimen of the breed we are out to suppress. One of our captains in a lull in the fighting found a Prussian officer lying desperately wounded, bleeding to death. He knelt down under heavy shell fire and gave his enemy first aid, bandag ing his wounds so that he could be moved. Then he turned away to get the stretcher bearers. The moment he turned, the German propped himself up on his elbow drew a bomb from his pocket and threw it with deadly aim The Canadian officer was blown to pieces. The Prussian evidently thought his villiany would pass unnoticed in the confusion of flying death but several of our men had seen the whole affair and he paid the price.
 Tt is not strange. therefore, if the German officer when captured, docs not always find quite so amiamle a re- ception as greets his rank and file"

The Hudson Super Six, which showed more speed than any car on the course during the aft ernon, was the prime bet carrier
 while tie Paige entered by the Mckinney Cord, was running it strong for betting honors. Both cars elicited songs of praise. and ejaculations of sheer delight, when the motors were turned loose. Prior to the start of the race, the Hudson Was allowed the liberty of the track. and demonstrated that where q volume of speed is re- quired, it was possessed of a whole library

 which was giving him a merry chase, developed spark plug trouble at the end of the fourth mile, and made
 the first call at the pits. Quick changes were made, there was no stop for a stirrup cup, and it was off again, amidst the thankful cheers of
 its packers. For a few minutes the
 procession kept up, when all of a sudden, the audience was surprised
 to see three machines lined up at the
 pits at once. The Mercer came in for

 and had smeared up any numbef- os spark plugs, and the Hudson was having trouble somewhere near its 1 appendix.
 All three got to going again. and joined in the futile attempt to head off Delno in his Stutz. The Spa, at the end of the tenth mile was chasing Delno with a grim determination to bring him to earth. The Marmon was third, while Al Gladney was holding on with death grip to fourth place. During the first fifteen miles, the Hudson was the possessor of the hard luck cup. time after time II
 was necessary to bring it into the pits
 to clean spark plugs. There seemed to be something wrong with the oil, and at last it was decided to scratch the car. While the Hudson was on the track, it showed dashes of speed. which fairly amazed the spectators. The Paige was also carrying a bounti- full supply of gloom somewhere on top
 of the hood, and was finally forced out with carburetor trouble. after having made a game race as long as it lasted.
 At the end of thirty miles, Delno was still leading, his time being 30.27. while the Spa was second, the Mar

WILSON DEFINES AMERICANISM

thing I can say is, after all, the meat of the whole matter what l have tried to do is to get rid of any class division in this country, not only, but by any class consciousness and feeling. The worst thing that could happen to America would be that she should be divided into groups and camps in which there were men and women, who
 thought they were at odds with one another, that the spirit of America was not expressed except in them, and that
 possibilities of antagonism were the
 only things that we had to look for
 ward to.
 Reinforcement is comparatively
 small matter, but the spirit In which things are done is the essence of the whole thing. and what I am striving for and what 1 hope you are striving for, is to blot out all the lines of divis- ion in America and create unity of
 spirit and of purpose founded upon this, the consciousness that we are all men and women of the same sort and that if we do not understand each oth- CT. we are not true Americans If we cannot enter into each others thoughts if we cannot comprehend each others interests, if we cannot serve each oth- CTS essential welfare, then we have not yet qualified as representatives of the American spirit

DOUGLAS, Nov. 1S.-Sixty cavalry men. the advance guard of General J. R. Sobarzo's column of nine hundred men, arrived in Agua Prieta late to- day. the main body camping for the night al Anavacachi Pass, twelve miles southwest of the town. The column consists almost entirely of infantry with an artillery section of five light guns.
 The troops will probably remain in Agua Prieta until General Arnulfo Go- meg. who will be in command, arrives from La Colorado with endorsements, 1t was stated in Agua Prieta tonight.
 Alarming rumors were current in Agua Prieta today. one being to the effect that Colonel Silvestre Quevedo at the head of a column of several hum dred Villistas was enroute from Colonia Morelos to attack the town. while an other credited Jose Ynez Salazar with leading several thousand Nillistas through Dolores Pass into Sonora 250 miles south of the border. Today was the sixth anniversary of the outbreak of the Madero revolution in Mexico. but despite rumors of threatened trouble in various parts of Sonora, there were no reports tonight of any disorders.

Nothing alarms America so much as rifts, divisions the drifting apart of elements among her people and the thing we ought to strive for is to close up every rift, and the only way to do it, so far as 1 can see, is to establish jus tice not only, but justice with a heart in it, justice with a pulse in it, justice with sympathy in it. Justice can be cold and forbidding, or it can be warm and welcome and the latter is the only kind of justice that Americans ought to desire. I do not believe I am de- ceiving myself when say that think this spirit is growing in America. pray God it may continue to grow and all have to say is to exhort every one
 whom my voice reaches here or else- where to come into this common move ment of humanity"
 In addressing MT. Wilson, MT. Com pers said the delegates had decided without any encouragement to come and congratulate the president.
 We hope that your next four years in the White House." he continued, will be filled with the meat of achieve ment for the good of humanity"

CHICAGO. Nov. 1S.-Chicago grain men and students of crop conditions here today contradicted a charge made by Joseph Hartigan, commissioner of weights and measures in New York, that western farmers had under esti- mated their crop reports to the federal government and forced up the price of foodstuffs.
 "The attack of Mir Hartigan on the honesty of the American farmers and the reliability of the government crop reporting system is just about as far from the truth of the situation, as his statement of a few weeks ago that the board of trade had bought up all the wheat of the country and were mak- ing the high cost to the consumer" said J. P Griffin, president of the Chi cago Board of Trade. Both state ments show that the gentleman has not studied the crop situation to any de- gree worthy of consideration"
 Millyard R. Myers. editor of the American Cooperative Journal. off cial publication for number of farm CTS organizations also criticized the statement of Mir. Hartigan.

 John Dill Robertson. health com missioner, who appointed the commit tee, supported MT.

MT Kinsey said that cracked rice is just as nutritious as whole rice and was very cheap. while corn meal was one of the best and cheapest of foods. A letter from John $.

Cong. Hclgeson, of the First Dis

ing great time to make his explana
tions explain 80 far as his vote for
the eight-hour Adamson bill is con-

ly wrong to pass legislation without
having sufficient information upon
which to act. He thinks the president
will have more trouble getting re-
elected because of the railway mix-up
than on any other issue But-Hel-
gcson voted for the Adamson bill
He explains his vote, however, by say
ing that a railroad tie-up would have
caused thousands in the big cities OF
the east to die of starvation. II 9th
er words, had the brotherhood heads
demanded that Congress make them q
present of the national capitol on pair
Of a strike, Helgeson would have felt
constrained to vote according to theil
dictation. In fact, to prevent a strike
Hclgeson was willing to sacrifice tn,
last dollar of anybody's money but his
own. Wonder how he would nave
voted, though, if some of his "cush'
was to foot the bill.
And, then, about the thousands thai
would have died in the eastern cities
That could better be determined wher
it became apparent that the rail
ways would be unable to move suf
ficient food supplies to prevent sucf
conditions. There is general sneak
ing idea that the railroads would have
done just that thing, however, il
which case Helgeson and those wht
voted with him would have had thei,
pains for their trouble.
