uting proposals he had under advise
ment, Fred Chadwick, canny Cana

method Of his own to determine
which of the various cars he had I'M

est favor among Detroit automobilists
Bringing his son, S. ]. Chadwick,
with him to make doubly sure of his
check, he came to Detroit to make a
personal count of the automobiles that
passed back and forth ON Woodward
avenue. He took a position on the
west side of the avenue at State
street, while his son stood on the op-
posite corner. For two hours on three
afternoons they checked up the cars

the most popular car in Detroit in
its price class but considerably more
popular among owners here than two

CRANbY MINING MPANY HELPS
 LIBERTY LOAN
Charters Boats to Bring Men In From Mines to
 Buy U. s. Bonds

MT. J. G. Ellis, auditor and accoun- tant for the Granby Mining Company, with offices here, announced this morn ing that between 40 and 50 employees of the company from the 'It' mine and the Rich Hill" both at Kasaan are expected to arrive in town this afternoon late, for the sole purpose of purchasing Liberty Loan Bonds. Word was received that the company intended chartering several boats and all employees desiring to invest in Liberty Bonds, would be transported free of charge, all expenses while in the city to be paid by the company, and pay for time lost would be made good.
 This is perhaps the most patriotic and unique idea vt carried out by any company doing business in Alas ka, and one worthy of much consider ation and emulation. "It is only right that companies doing business here and making money from the resources cf the country should come to it's aid in time of need, and it perhaps needs only a few examples like the one set by the Granby Mining company to start the ball-arolling the right way" said a business man this morning.

SENEGALESE MOST
 POPULAR OF FRENCH
 COLONIAL SOLDIERS
They Are Eager To Learn French, Fight We'll And
 Play Like Children

FRENCH FRONT. Sept. (Correspon- dence of The Associated Press)-"You white men are forced to fight; we are volunteers" say proudly Frances col onial soldiers when they reply to ques- tions as to the reason for their coming to Europe to fight. Whether they come from Senegal, Madagascar, or Somali land, all of them express glad ness at the opportunity to pay off old scores for cruelties committed on their kindred in the German colonies in Africa, the news of which has been spread among them from one end of the continent to the other by their mysterious methods of communicat- ion. All of them know of the fate of the Herrero nation in German South West Africa, where only few wand ering groups remain alive of what was 8 powerful negro tribe.
 Undoubtedly the most popular of the French colonial volunteers are the coal-black Senegalese Their courage
 in the field and their devotion to their white officers have become proverbiaf. The mentality of these tribesmen is almost infantile in it's simplicity, but they are quick to learn. Their adapt ability in such in warlike matters that they have become expert in very short vtrith oil tho rr1n6nrn n- ons. Many of them before coming to France have undergone training in the colonies and consequently are ac- quainted with European drill and dis cipline. Others are raw recruits. who are exercised first when they reach French soil The eagerness of all to acquire proficiency with the new weap- ons is such that even in their hours of rest in their instruction camps they may be seen in groups exercising with them and repeating the words of com mand in French, which they rapidly learn.
 When in rest camp the Senegalese amuse themselves like schoolboys. Dancing and singing and gambling oc- cupy much of their time. Many of them however give up hours daily to learning French, for they regard ev- erything appertaining to France as better than anything else. One of them who came upon an American munition driver repairing his motor spoke to the American in his broken French. The American did not under stand and the African turned and walk ed away, wearing a disdainful expres- sion and remarking What? You don't understand French? Have you never been to school?"

Objective is Evidently To Re- cover Lost Positions In the
 Mountains

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-An Austro-Ger- man offensive was launched yesterday cn the Italian front, says an official statement today. Yesterday, the Aus tro-German infantry captured the fore most Italian positions near Flich and Tolmino and in the northern portion of Baisizza plateau.

 LONDON, Oct. 25.-Six thousand Italians were taken prisoner on the front this morning in the new Austro- German drive, according to a Vienna dispatch to the Times.
 A late report says the the enemy broke through the Italian advance line on the east bank of Isonzo in a power ful attack. They also took the Bais- izza plateau and the west slope of Mont Santa Gabrielle where they were checked.

GENERAL RICHARDSON
 AND MAJ0R MEHAFFEY
 ON BOARD JEFFERSON
Enroute to Washington, D. C. To Report. Both Anxious
 To Help Country

'Yes, we are on our way now to Washington. to report for temporary duty, and while we do not know ex- actly, it is expected that we will be assigned to troops for foreign serv- ice in a few weeks after our arrival" :" said General W. P. Richardson, who is accompanied by his aid Major, J. c. Mehaffey, to Washington, D. C., in response to orders received from the tSecretary of War.
 AS far as orders read at present, nothing definite as to our future work is known. and as far as the Road Con- mission is concerned, I am still the nominal head of the board" the Gen eral explained. The work however, will be well taken care of during our absence, everything being left in charge of Capt w. H. Waugh, who is now the senior officer in the territory, and the engineer of the board. The Board has good funds in prospect for the next years work but of course it will be limited more or less to the com pletion of work already mapped out and that now on the way The board will work in conjunction with Pores try Service and the Federal commis- sion and very good results are looked for from the cooperation of the forces of these three competent branches"
 Major Mehaffey and General Rich ardson are both graduates of West Point and are naturally very anxious to do their bit for their country when there is such a demand for trained officers in the making of the new Ma tional Army, but it is with deep re- gret that these genial and gallant of ficers leave their interrupted work in the territory. The matter of the Charcoal Point road which was prot to the attention of the General on his way north last spring, has been turned over to the Forestry service for com pletion, General Richardson announc- ed today, and it will be pushed for ward as soon as possible.
 After closing up matters pertaining to the Road Commission in Washing ton, the General and Major ehaffey will be ready for anything that Uncle Sam may have for them to do, which is sure to be done as thoroughly as they have worked for Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-In letter to Senator McNary a few days ago.

Open House At Moose Hall For Whole Town Every
 One Contributes

The First City has shown her col ors again, and they're not lemon color either
 Nearly Fifty thousand dollars were raised by the Liberty Loan Bond work CTS yesterday afternoon, made up mostly of Government employees who were given a half-holiday for the pur- pose by their chief, Uncle Sam to get money to win the war for democracy and they surely did their shars in Ketchikan.
 As Mayor Heneghan stated in few concise remarks last evening at the big dance at the Moose Hall where the wind-up of the day was held, Ketchi- kan had every reason in the world for being proud of her citizens and he himself was proud to be the Mayor of such a town.
 New Slogan Today
 Today's slogan is now "Ona Hund- red Thousand Dollars" for the Lib erty Loan Bonds and as usual Ket chikan WILL come up to the mark set for it as she i.as always done in the past At the close of the campaign made yesterday, $63,S50 had been sub- scrbed and it is fully expected that by the close of the campaign Saturday the full of $100,000 will be in.
 Hundreds of people poured in and out of the Moose Hall last evening where the dance was in progress, from nine o'clock till shortly after midnight A program, short, but ex- cellent was opened during the even- ing by few introductory remarks by Mayor Heneghan, introducing MT. T. J. Pennell, who gave a scotch War bal lad in his usual fine style, followed by Senator Heckman who spoke briefly but to the point on "Why we should buy Liberty Bonds" and what Ketchil- kan had done during the present drive. Patrick Verney, Clarinet Soloist of the Metlakatla Band rendered an ex- tremely difficult medley of American airs, and bass solo by Osborne Will Hams in his own inimitable style closed the program.
 Moose Hall was decorated with the National Colors together with the huge Liberty Loan posters, arranged to form the letters U. s. A. the re- suit of the efforts of the local compan- ies of Boy Scouts, and was donated free for the occasion by the Moose Lodge.
