CRANKS' CONVENTION ON IN LOS ANGELES
 SLEEP ON HAY-STAC%S

SUNLAND, Calf, Sept. ?. - The queerest people in the world gather ed here today to indulge in the frs, "Cranks' Convention ever held.
 Delegates were called to order by Dr. LeRoy H. Fry, of Los Angeles, who organized the concIave. Every crank will be given a chance to ad- dress the assemblage of "Queer" dele gates on that particular theory or subject that has made a crank of him.
 Scores of automobile parties motor ed out from Los Angeles and Pasa- dena to sit back as spectators, and hear the funny people talk.
 The convention will last several days. No limit has been set. Ac- comodations were furnished by good people of Sunland and Little Landers, two communities founded on idealis- tic principles.

managed to cross the intervening ground and get up within 200 yards of the enemy's wire practically without casuaIties-a remarkable proof of dis cipline. When the intense British bombardment ceased just at dawn they attacked with superb vigour and devotion. In one place the German wire had been Imperfectly cut, and they had to make their way through it under a deadly fire. But by little after midday the work was done. The German second position was in their hands, as well as 662 unwounded men, 36 officers including a battalion com mander, four howitzers, four field guns, and fourteen machine guns. Such was the achievement of four battalOnS of the new army which had never before been in action.
 The Germans were not weak in that section. The misty weather had en- abled them to mass guns whose posi- tions could not be detected They had brought up some of their most famous troops. The truth is that it is idle to talk of old and new armies. The British army, old army, new army and Territorials; Home divisions and Colonial division have alike proved themselves adequate for the task of war.

The delegates will furnish their own fare and for those who fail ed to bring along provender, inhabi tants of this narrow mountain valley will furnish nuts harvested from the wild iron nut tree which abounds in the valley. The floor of the valley is studded with millions of round boulo CTS washed down from rocky ravines which, viewed from distance, gives the fantastic impression of a huge basket of nuts having been spilled over the whole region.
 Some of the more blase of the spectators even went so far as to refer to this place as Sunny Nut land"
 One of the surprises of the gather ings was that cranks when they get together find they are not cran&s at all.
 Ideajists, fatalists, religionists ant inGdels attended in goodly noumbor Several models and blue prints of p"l- petual motion mcchanisms were ex- hibited. Many physical cuIturists and sociologists were here to say nothing of "unapprcciated authors" professors" and prelatcs of peace and preparedness.

EXPERT DESCRIBES
 NEW BRITISH ARMY
By JOHN BUCHAN
England's Foremost Military Critic

England's Foremost Military Critic
 (Written for The United Press)
 LONDON, Sept. 1.-In, reports of the great Battle of Picardy being cir culated in Teutonic lands the com honest misstatement is that the new British Armies do not know how to fight.
 It is admitted that the old Ex- peditionary Force was fine material. The new armies raised in the last two years are described as undiscip- lined and unreliable in attack and ir- resolute in defence; formidable only because of their numbers which are vanishing under German fire.
 No item of the statement is true. The casualties have not been out of proportion to the ground gained. In the at;acl, of July 14th which car ried large part of the German second line the british losses were extra ordinarily small. The individual fighting value of the British troops has been equal to any in the campaign For example, wood was taken by the Germans with nine battalions; it was recaptured by the British with two. The British new army which showed it's merit at Loos last September, has won great glory in every phase of a Picardy battle.
 The whole British force in one sense is new. The famous old regiments of the line have been renewed completely since Mons, and their drafts are drawn from the same source as the men of the new battalions. The 9th and 18th Divisions (wholly new) brought from Loos a reputation sec ond to none in the Army.
 Take the great fight of July 14th when from Pozieres to DeIville Wood the German second line was carried, and the third line pierced. A disting- uished French soldier doubted the pos sibility of success. An English Gen eral offered to eat his hat if it did not come off. When the French General heard of this he said "C'est bien. Le General K ne mange pas son chap eau" Roughly transIated-"You win. Don't eat your hat"
 In that attack a certain historic British division advanced on the line between Bazentin-le-Grand and Longueval. In each of it's three brigades there were two battalions of the new army and two of the old. The attack was made by two brigades, and the General commanding put the four new battalions in the first line.
 The experiment proved the worth of the new army. To begin with they

Ford VS.. Ell TOrO

Last Tuesday evening as John
I. Flake, the mail contractor,
was returning from Holbrook in
his Ford a Hereford bull was en-
countered, and Jonn claims he
walked his jitney all over ell
torro and came out first best in
the argument" The HERALD'S
poet heard of the affair and i'm
mediately penned the following:
The other day twixt sun and sun,
In his hero of a car,
John 7. had made a record run
Without jolt or jar,
Until he reached the city pike,
And headed straight for town;
Then something checked him in
his flight
And gently let him down.
1t happened on that self-same day
That bull of form superb
Began to slowly feed away
And left the cattle herd.
"I'm monarch of this broad do
main;
That fact none dare dispute,
Except one foe that gives me
pain
1t is that Ford galoot.
1t seems to think it rules the
walk,
And makes a loud adieu,
With such vile trash | take no
stock,
And, I'll shortly prove it, too.
I'll simply stand aside the road,
And when he blows his nail
And makes a racket like toad,
I'll charge the U. S. mail. "
And thus he stood beside the pike
And beloved out his spleen,
And planned exactly where to
strike
To squelch the vile machine.
The Ford appeared with awful
speed;
The bull he took his stand.
To the honking horn he gave
no heed,
But filled the air with sand.
Then as the broad side came to
view
The bull just hit it square.
His head and horns went clear
thru,
And John went in the air.
The bull went off across the plain
With baggage, mail and car,
Singing the old time refrain.
"All is fair in love or war. !"
