WILSON SURE, IF PEOPLE GET
FACTS, SAYS EDISON
New York, Oct. 7.-"Give the peO-
pie the facts and it will be a Wilson
landslide" said Thos. A. Edison, the
inventor wizard today.
Il have always been a Republican,
but 1 put my country above party. In
a world crisis, with the fate of Amer
lea in the balance, I would take
shame to myself if I did not put my
self behind a man who has given US
peace with honor, prosperity with
justice and preparedness without
militarism."
Henry Ford, who met Edison here
for Wilson conference, added:
Like Mr. Edison, l am RepUbli-
can. cannot stay with a party that
puts office seeking first and America
last. The president has saved the
United States from the horrors and
desOlatiOn of international war"

Erbstein was strong with the Repub-

Since then the police have bounded

his wife were arrested. Grant was

Stout Seconds Win

The normal school second squad,
just returning from Superior where
several of them had played a part
of the game the day before, was de-
feated Saturday morning by the sec
ond team from Stout on the local
gridiron.
The score of 7 to O fairly indicates
the relative strength of the two
teams, although in flashes River
Falls played their opponents off
their feet, only to let up and lose the
ball within inches of a touchdown.
Reese and Bethel were the local
stars, generally making their gains
when called upon. The Red and
White was rather weak. The Stout
quarter back was the star of the
visitors team.

Red & White in Walk
Away At Superior

Although River Falls did not pile
up quite the score against Superior
that La Crosse did, the ease with
which the Red and White machine
overcame what little resistance Sup
eriors offered, and the fact that Sec
ond string men played the last half,
shows that the Red and White are
still to be reckoned with as contenders
for the championship bunting.
Then. too, the surprise victory of
Stevens Point at La Crosse Satur-
day adds still brighter glow to the
River Falls outlook. Stevens Point,
defeated here the week before, z to
0, on Saturday trimmed La Crosse
IA to 2. AS Superior's two defeats
puts her already out of the running,
the best La Crosse can get out of a
victory here Nov. 10 will be three
cornered tie while River Falls vic
tory would give this team the undis-
puted championship of the northern
circuit.
In the southern circuit last Friday
Milwaukee put Whitewater out of
the championship race by Is to Q
score, while Platteville downed Osh-
kosh 6 to O. Milwaukee is expected
to win in that division. The game
for the state title will de played on
a northern circuit field-and we sin

Local Men Nearly
Drowned at Prescott

While fishing from a skiff in the
Mississippi last Friday L. J. Oakley
of this city and Leslie Weideman,
who is visiting here, were nearly
drowned when a large pile-driving
barge, piloted by Captain Winans,
crashed into their craft. demolishing
it. The barge also struck a launch in
which there were three St. Paul fish
ermen, and they, too, escaped with
difficulty. The fishermen were haul
ed out Of of the water by workmen
on the barge. 1t is said that the
captain of the barge was warned in
plenty Of time to avoid the crash,
but that he continued on his course
in spite of the frantic cries of the
men in the smaller boats. He struck
the row boat containing the River
Falls men first, and after rescuing
them headed for the Prescott dock,
and enroute crashed into the st.
Paul mems launch and also struck
another launch belonging to Fred
Smith of Prescott, putting that also
out of commission.
Leslie Weideman appears to have
the jinx on his trail this season.
Early this season he was almost kill
ed in an accident which occurred at
a canning factory at Columbus,
where he was employed. The
cleo trio current had been
short circuited on the metal
shade over an incandescent light and
in attempting to turn off the light
Leslie received a high voltage shock,
knocking him unconscious. He was
in a serious condition for several
weeks following the accident, and
had not yet sufficiently recovered to
return to his school duties.

This is related in letter from a
British officer who was wounded at

II have the greatest admiration for

he means the Pucea Turks and not
the Kurds who cut down the Armen-
ians, or the Turco-Arabs.
Another incident concerns two
wounded British officers left on the
battlefield in the night and found by
the Turks. Although the Turks took
away all their equipment, such as
field glasses, haversack, belt, revolver
and papers. they gave the officers wa
ter, ioosened. their clothing and made
them comfortable. The officers were
left on the field, where they were res
cucd next day by their own men.

tons in his hospital that the number
of jaundice cases is remarkable. There
seems to be a curious tendency to de-
velop jaundice in Mesopotamia, owing
either TO the water or weather condi-
tons.
