gas users money, proposed gas rate
making and proposed traction mer-'
gers with enormous amounts in
vOIved are quiet issues that have run
deep in this campaign.

patrick, president Chicago Fedora

blot on his record. He's been at the
front for the people. On the auto

Aid. Eugene Block, Democrat, Bit

running for reelection out in the 9Th

to have a walkaway.
Since his arrival in the council six
years ago he has established a scent

WILL SUPPLY
 ALLIES 3OO.OOO MEN

MELBOURNE, Australia: One of the first official acts of the new prime minister of Australia, William M.
 Hughes, has been an announcement that fresh army will be furnished
 by the Commonwealth for the Brit
 ish and allied cause, and .that this army will number 50,000 men "This
 further contribution said Mr.
 Hughes, twill bring the total number of men supplied by Australia by next June to something like 100000 Len. It is to be understood that the prin- |ciple of voluntary enlistment is tc be
 adhered to. No request had been
 made to the Commonwealth by the imperial government for more men. The offer is quite spontaneous. I have not the slightest doubt that the necessary men will be forthcoming. These will form new units and are of the quota of $500 a month necessary for endorsements" /" A government appeal will be made |by mail to every man in Australia within the military age group based lon the recent war censua--that is, single men from IS to A years.

MUIR ON THE THLINKITS.

John Muir, who made three trips to Alaska, in 1879, 1880 and 1890- speaks with great cordiality of the Alaskan Indians, having made him. self intimately acquainted with the Thlinkit tribes. These Indians diff fer radically from those of the Uni ted States in their obvious derivation from Mongol stock. They have the downslanting oval eyes, wide cheek bones, and rather thick outstanding upper lips. But they differ also from the tribes east of the Rockies in be- ing willing to work hard. They feed themselves well, build good substan- tial homes,. fight their enemies brave iy. love their wives, children and friends, and cherish a quick sense of honor Muir writes particularly of their quick sympathy for their neighbors.
 Thus when a family lose a child or a member by death, neighbors vis- it them to cheer and console. They gather around the fire and smoke, talk kindly and naturally, telling the parents not to grieve too much for the departed. Now consider that we have the valuation of another world and of the troubles and trials the little ones escape by dying young.' All this in a perfectly natural and straightforward way" They are fond and indulgent parents. "In all my travels I never heard a cross, ill-na- tured word; or anything like scolding inflicted on an Indian child, or ever witnessed single case of spanking" {" New York Post.

BROTHERHOODS
 AND RAILROADS MAY YET AGREE
w. G. Lee, Head of Trainmen, States That Nego- tiations Are Now Under Way to Bring About Complete Settlement of All Differences
 Outside of Courts

have discussed it with us. We hope to work 1t out. We know that 1T we don't work it out for ourselves, the employees and the employers. somebody Is going to work it out for us, and it will not be acceptable to either side"
 MT. Lee predicted that if the pres ent negotiations come to a successful end the disputes between the railroads and employees will be taken out of politics by the establishment of some kind of federal commission to take the place of the present board of medi- alton and conciliation. He said tha, the members of this proposed board should be practical men from both sides, apponed by the governor and answerable to the President with full authority to hear and dispose of all controversies that arise. He said thai board composed of four brotherhood men and four railroad representatives cut loose from the organizations ana ether railroad interests. would form . commission to the fairness of which he would be willing to subscribe.
 Mir. Lee said that it was the hope of the brotherhoods to effect a set. clement outside and independently oi the provision of the Adamson law. Hs intimated that the railroad leaders also share this hope.

WHEAT DROPS HEAVILY

Chicago December 15.-In frantic stampede today wheat prices were tram pied down 1S1s cents a bushel. The prime reason for the break was German of ficial suggestion of limited but universal disarmament.
 Initial downturns in wheat values, all though sensational, did not exceed 9ls cents bushel, whereas the final few minutes of business witnessed the last of a series of additional smashes that car- ried the market just cents bushel still lower. Stock market weakness and reports that leading neutrals. especially the United States, were giving indications of readiness to assist in stoppage of the war tended materially to keep the wheat market headed most of the time for lower and lower levels.
 Estimates from Washington that the 1916 yield of wheat in the United States as 32,Ooo,000 bushels more than was gen. orally supposed. Fluctuations, neverthe- less continued to depend in the main on the chances of peace and there was a tumultous close with May at l54 to 1o51z and July 131% to 1321a. 10A to 125s cents loss as compared with 24 hours before.

Evansville, Ind, December l5. w. c. Lee, president of the Brother hoods of Railway Trainmen, an- nounced in an address here today that negotiations are under way be- tween the leaders of the brother hoods and railroad officials looking to a settlement of their entire con troversy out of court before Jan uary 1, when the Adamson law is scheduled to go into effect. He said the settlement was in crude state as yet. MT. Lee spoke before the Central States Conference on Water and Rail Transportation, which closed it's session here tonight.
 He declared that both sides to the controversy are carefully considering plans for settling the entire question before January and for clearing and expunging the records in the case.
 1T know I am not betraying conf dences," he said. when I say some of the very best brains high up ir the chambers of the operating depart ments of the railroads favor something satisfactory to both sides and they
