GERMAN SOLDIERS
LONG FOR PEACE
PRISONERS TELL HOW HIGHER
OFFICERS REFUSE TO TAKE
RISKS IN TRENCHES.

Canadian Headquarters in France,
Oct. 2.-Reports that the rank and
file Of the enemy troops have q great
longing for peace is confirmed by ev-
cry prisoner captured. One of their
chief grievances is the failure of their
higher officers to take risks.
Refuse to Take Risk.
Even company commanders freely
depute to the under officers their duty
while in the trenches, and remain well
back from the front.
This is so different from the rela-
tions between our men and officers
that it is freely impressed on the
minds Of the Germans on every occa-
sion where there is hand to hand
fighting, in which our officers invaria-
bly, lead their men, while the German
officers seldom do so.
They are not actuated by fear and
it must be assumed that they are
obeying orders in thus holding back.
Men Are Disconnected.
Very great losses of the German Of
ficer class early in the war may have
made it necessary to conserve their
leaders. Whatever is the reason
their men are deeply discontented.

SAXON EDALERS REPORT AC-
TIVE MARKET FOR MOTOR
CARS AND HUGE AUGUST BUSI-
NESS.

September is living up to the pre-
dictions that far sighted automobile
men made for it last summer when
they said that the fall month would
be big selling season for motor cars.
This is evidenced by the reports
which are coming from motor car
dealers in all parts of the country. At
the plant of the Saxon Motor Car cor
poration at Detroit, the latest tabula-
tions from the dealers show that the
month has exceeded expectations. 1t
has been with difficulty that the fac
tory has been able to supply the de-
mand for cars and at the present time
there are hundreds of untitled orders
on hand. The total sales of the In
dianapolis dealers organization to date
in September are 214 cars.
In the far west business has gone
steadily onward and Spokane terri:
tory already has sold $50 cars. In the
same way the middle west shows very
large gains.
The dealers say that the ideal
weather of September has helped
some and that if October brings pleas.
ant days also, the sales will keep right
up. They look for an active retail
market until snow flies.

how THE RED CROSS
lis SPENDING 100000
900 YOU HELPED RAISE

Washington, Oct. 8.-For the great
American Red Cross war fund the
American people subscribed about one
hundred million dollars, of which
about fifty million dollars has been
paid in and about fifteen million ex-
pended. The greater pat of what has
been for the relief of our war-stricken
allies. The greater part of what is
left is being conserved to use for the
comfort of our own troops in France.
Commissions Of prominent men were
sent abroad to make careful study
on the spot. Over $4,000, 900 has been
spent in, France, where there are over
100000 people afflicted with tubercu-
losis as direct result of the war. The
Red Cross and the Rockefeller Foun-
dation hope ultimately to have nearly
400 dispensaries in France.
The Red Cross has also appropriat-
ed $1,000,000 for the relief of sick and
wounded French soldiers and their
families. An infant welfare unit has
been formed.
Preparations have been made to
clothe, feed and temporarily shelter
about 100000 refugees from the re-
gions devastated by the Germans. The
Red Cross is furnishing mutilated men
with artificial limbs and is co-operat-
ing in establishing homes for blinded
soldiers.
Along the route of our troops from
seaport to front, the Red Cross has es-
tablished infirmaries and rest stations,
in in charge of American trained nur-
ses. Canteens are being established
at every railway station where Amer
ican soldiers may find rest, baths, and
lunches.
For the more serious side Red Crose
has arranged for $4,000 pounds of
ether, for a central plant for the man
ufacture Of nitrous oxygen, and fac
tory for surgical instruments. Great
warehouses have been erected for hos
pital supplies and base hospitals have
been supported by Red Cross funds.
To hearten the French army rest
stations have been provided for the
poilus. Here they can bathe, have
their linen washed, get good meals
and a place to sleep while waiting for
their trains. Canteens have been es-
tablished in the field to supply French
soldiers with hot coffee, tea, boullion
and also with refreshing cool drinks.
Three hundred thousand dollars has
been sent to Russia, $250,0OO to Ru-
mania, $222,000 to Serbia, $4,000 to
Italy and 100000 to Armenia and
Syria. In each case commission re-
port will be the basis for far greater
expenditures.
Up to date, j." connection with the
various contonments in this country
something like $3,000,0OO has been
spent and this is just beginning. A
Red Cross director has been assigned
to each contonment and where re-
quested, a Red Cross sanitary unit is
sent to look after the water and milk
supply, drainage, etc. Six big Red
Cross emergency hospitals have been
established, the idea being that no
cantonment shall be more than "a
hours ride fom one of these. They
are for use in case of some big cpl
demic of disease freaks out.
