GERMAN PAPER
CO M M ENTS ON
WILSON SPEECH

Cologne. (CVia London). Feb. s.
The Eolks Zeitung commenting on
President Wilson's St. Louis speech
sees in it the possibility that the
president will settle the Lusitania
question amicably, but warns against
accepting settlement as accom-
plished until it actually is.
The Volks Zeitung calls attention to
a change in the tone of this address
from earlier speeches. saying: He
seems to have altered the tone of his
speeches to fit the character of his au-
diences," and points out the prepond-
erance of the German element in st.
Louis.
After declaring that American am
munition deliveries violate the spirit,
if not the letter of international law,
the paper concludes:
After all. there is nothing to do
but to await President Wilson's next
actions. They will constitute basis
for judging the honorableness of his
attitude toward all the warning ma
tons"

THE MISSION OF
COLONEL HOUSE
COMMENTED ON

Paris Feb. ..-Georges Clemenceau,
formerly French premier, commenting in
his newspaper. LHomme Enchiane, on
Colonel Houses mission. which he says
seems to be characteristic of President
Wilson's spirit of hesitation writes:
Europe has suddenly seen a dumb mis-
sionary disembark on it's shores for
tour of inspection among the combatants.
He has passed everywhere. appearing and
disappearing by turns like the Flying
Dutchman in the mists of the horizon.
He has said nothing, his whole mission
evidently being to observe. His task, I
suppose. is to report faithfully to the
President the conclusions he draws from
personal observation as to the balance Of
force between the belligerents.
II know nothing about Colonel House."
concludes NJ. Clemenceau, "but the fact
that he has been chosen for this inves-
tigation By the first magistrate of the
American repablic leads me to infer that
he has at least the qualities of observa-
ton and good sense. This is enough to
satisfy me as to the results Of his in
vestigation."

MULES STAMPEDE
AT YARN 0UTH
and CROSS RIVER

Portland, Me-, Feb. 7.-Between 700
and 500 mules awaiting shipment to
the European war zone escaped from
the Yarmouth stock yards Saturday
afternoon and in a wild stampede
crossed the Royal river and wander
ed three miles from the stock yards
when they were finally caught by
horsemen and returned to their tempo
rary quarters before being placed on
board trans Atlantic liners at this port
The animals escaped from the yards
when some person started to open the
gate and became confused as the ami
mails attempted to get out. Within a
minute the advance guard Of mule
runaways were out through the open
gate and was quickly followed by hum
dreds Of others. The mules made their
way down the banks of the Royal riv-
er and following the tracks male by a
big hay rack they crossed the stream
on the ice and headed toward North
yarmouth.
About a half dozen mounted horse
men started in pursuit from the stock
yards and after some strenuous work
rounded the runaways up about three
miles from the starting point.

Chinaman who escaped from the
steamship Kamourska which loaded
grain at the Grand Trunk docks. have
failed and the steamship has sailed
for England. No action has been
taken against the commander or the
owners of the steamship as the au-
thorities feel certain that every pre-
caution was taken towards guarding
the Cinnamon forming part Of the
steamers crew. Choy disappeared
Saturday night and while it is thought
that he might have me. with foul play
the officers are now convinced that the
Chinaman escaped from the vessel as
a heavy overcoat owned by one of the
ships cooks is missing.
One Of the local immigration off,
GERS and Officer DeWolfe Of the po-
lice department went to Lewiston last
night to search for the missing China
man, but no clue of the missing man
could be found there and the officers
returned to Portland.

guard placed aboard the ship but he
got past the large number of watch
men employed by the Grand Trunk
Railway and the customs officers on
duty about the Grand Trunk piers.
