IS said to have urged the adoption
of conscription machinery for this
State which differs from that provid-

charges that the votes of the people
were not fairly counted were freely
repeated.

crnor was used in this vancouver.

being told by the officer who made
the examination that he was the kind
of man the government wanted.
John p. Grace, of Charleston, de-
nounccd the action of Congress in de-
claring war and indulgcd in a round
of criticism Of President Wilson for
breaking his implied pre- election
contract to keep the country out of
war.

The Resolutions.
whereas, insinuations and accusa-

 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, Nov 13.-Tho Ameri can soldiers who are now occupying places in French sector along the great battlefront are proving adepts at the war game and are rapidly becoming experts in patrol work h this line they have given the Ger mans several surprises
 The activity now prevailing in the sector where the Sammies are sta toned resembles open warfare more than trench fighting, and this is being proven to be distinctly an Am. erican game which is dangerous for anyone else taking hand in it. The Germans are learning this to their sorrow
 Recently an incident involving only i've American prlVateS was mentIon- ed in dispatches. These five men were occupying dugout when q party of Germans entered the trench es. These Americans rushed from the dugout where they had been concealed and with remarkably aC- curate rifle fire successfully prevent ed the Germans from advancing, and upon being reinforced drove the enc my back across No Mans Land. None of the Americans engaged were injured while several Germans are known to have fallen.

Associated HreSs)
 HONOLULU, Nov. 13.-In order to keep the remains of former Queen Liliuokalani from being taken by an outsider, certain troops of the Ha- waii national guard are tonight guarding the body. This action is considered necessary on account of the threatened will contest which is proposed by John F. Colburn, who has demanded the control of the body.
 Colburn asserts that the former queen appointed him her eXecutor in a will which is alleged to have been made and signed by her on August 29, 1917 Under the provi- sions of this will, which Colburn states he has in his possession, duly signed and witnessed, many changes are made from her former one, which was considered to be the only one in existence Most of the changes are confined to disposition of her property
 Pending definite action on Col burns part and a decision by the courts, the government will see that the body is given adequate protec- ton.

Word was received Sunday that Captain Robert LOghry, formerly mas ter signal electrician in charge of the Fairbanks telegraph office, had reached France in safety and has taken his place with the American eXpeditionary ,orce
 Captain Loghry described his trip as a very interesting one. The jour hey from New York to England was a quiet one, and the party was un- disturbed by any submarines. Eng land, the captain said, is entirely un- der cultivation, every bit of land be- ing planted with some useful pro duct to help in defeating the enemy. His trip through France was made entirely in the day time, so he got to see all of the country through which he passed, and he describes it as particularly beautiful in spite of the scars of war which are ever predominant.
 The captain is now stationed in a large French city, the name of which he is unable to divulge, but which he says we all hear about, even if We never have seen It.

 WASHINGTON, D, C., Nov. lG.- Serbia tonight announces that it has gratefully accepted the offer made by Switzerland to undertake the pro yisioning of the civilian population of the gallant little nation. Switzer- land made this offer several days ago.
 While practically all the nations have been contributing to the as sistance of Serbia, owing to the cir cumstances it has been impossible to render efficient relief The dis tance has been too great for Amert cans 10 be of the same assistance as they were able to offer to Bel gium. On account of this lack of organized relief, and owing to her own inability to provide any means of succor, Serbia has seen more than quarter of her civilian popu lation die from diseases and priva. tions suffered on account ot the war. Today the conditions said to exist among the survivors are the most horrible of any nation.
 The Swiss government will begin it's work of relief at once, as all preparations have been made in ad- vance to relieve the most needy

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13. During the months of November and December France has contracts fall ing due which amount to $310,000, 900. These contracts are being filled now by American firms and consist mainly of war supplies unobtaina ble in France.
 The United States treasurer this af- ternoon handed the French ambas sador a draft for $31O,OO0,O0O which will be used to cover these con tracts. This loan makes the total loaned France by the American gov ernment s1,136000,0 ,000. Practically all of this money has been spent by France with American manufac- turers. The total loaned to all the allies has reached the sum of $3 S76,4O0,OOO
 Out of this sum, the greatest par has been loaned to England on ac- count of the enormous drain which has been placed upon her financial resources heretofore, before the United States entered the war. There still remains a little more than $1, 900 100000 which may be loaned to the allies under the authorization of the last session of congress.

 WASHINGTON, D.

 The crowds heretofore have been good humored in their treatment of the marching militants and even the sentinels which have been placed around the White House, but today the mood of the crowd was changed, and the appearance of the band bear ing the banners was signal for il to turn loose.
 The entire party in the demonstra- tion was arrested and taken before a police magistrate, who allowed them bail until tomorrow morning, when they will be tried. As a num- Der of them have been arrested on the same charge at previous times, it is believed that they will be given long jail sentences.
