PLEADS GUILTY TO
 HAVING BOOZE; IS.
 FINED AND JAILED

Raymond Patterson entered a plea of guilty to a charge of having booze in his possession and was fined $50 and sentenced to serve ten days in jail by Judge Frank Thomas, in city court. Patterson was arrested on complaint of a member of the provost guard.
 The provost claims to have over- heard a conversation between severa, soldiers, from which he concluded that Patterson was going to sell them some booze. The guard mixed in with the soldiers and claims that a few minutes later Patterson appeared on the scene and started to hand them a bottle of whiskey. On seeing the provost, ac- cording to the latter, Patterson pulled the cork out of the bottle and started to pour the contents on the ground. Before all of the booze had been poured out the guard grabbed the bottle and Patterson was lodged in jail.
 Cirildo Encinas was fined $10 for be- ing drunk, John McKelvy forfeited S25 bail by not appearing 70 answer a simi- lar charge and H. J. Wilson was fined s5 for leaving his horse standing on the street unhitched.

Mrs. Luna charges that he attacked the girl in her home and attempted to tear her clothing from her The girl backs up these as sertions. Medinez. however, vigorous Iy denies the charge and claims that it is a ''frame-up" on the part of the girls parents to stop him from asso- ciating with her He claims that Mrs. Luna does not think her daughter is old enough to associate with him and has taken this method to get him out of the way

Women Use Prescription of Fam

Since the days of our first parents in the Garden of Eden, women have borne the pain and discomfort of childbirth. Science on its part, has worked to modify and to relieve in part, the dreadful suffering at such . time.
 The preparation known as Mothers Friend" is applied by the mother to-be herself, externally, night and morning. It relieves the tension on the muscles, cords and fragments of the abdomen, and the expectant mother is made much more comfort able. The crisis is one of much less pain and danger.
 Thousands of women who have used it successfully state that they cannot say enough about the good Mothers Friend" did for them and refer par ticularly to the absence of nausea or morning sickness.

SELECTIVE DRAFT IN CANADA IS URGED BY
 SIR ROBERT BORDEN
Premier Declares Entry of United States Into War Will Have Splendid Effect On Nations Future.
fBy Review Leased Wirel

OTTAWA, Ont, May 1S.-Compul- sory military service on a selectiye basis to raise immediately at least 50,0oO and probably 100000 men to make good the wastage in the Cana dian army crops in France, was pro posed to parliament late today by Sir Robert Borden, the premier. who returned from England last Tuesday.
 Under the voluntary enlistment plan Canada had done well, the prem fer said. There had been dispatched 326,000 men for the Canadian force across the Atlantic. Including Brit ish, French and other reservists, not less than 360,00O men had gone from Canada for overseas military service.
 But more were needed, Sir Robert announced. unless the five Canadian divisions were to dwindle to four, to three and to two.
 Sir Wilfred Laurier. the opposition leader, declared that Canada must re- main in the war to the end and that provision must be made to enable her to do so.
 "A great struggle lies before us in this war" said Sir Robert At the commencement of this springs cam paign Germany put into the field million more men than she put into the field last spring.
 Unsettled political conditions in Russia undoubtedly have handicapped the effort on the eastern front and enabled Germany to make a great eff fort on the western front
 Against these considerations is the fact that the United States has entered the war on the allied side The event must exercise a very inn portant influence indeed, not only upon the issues of this war, but upon the future of the world. The fact that citizens of the United States are to fight, side by side with the soldiers Of our empire. cannot but have sp.endid influence on the future of the two nations.

holm Press Denounces
Teuton Brutality

LONDON, Oct. pa. joint Scandi-
navian protest, it is expected, will be
lodged against the German sinking Of
the neutral steamers under convoy in
the North Sea last Wednesday, accord
ing TO a dispatch to "The Morning
Post" from Stockholm.
A dispatch TO "The Daily Telegraph
from Stockholm says that the Swedish
press, even the pro-German section,
speaks very sharply against Germany.
The "Svenska Dagbladet" describes the
incident as one Of inexcusable brutality.
The Social Demokraten" says that it
was q cruel deed and will breed IN
friendly feelings The "Dagens Ny
heter' declares that 10 was not naval
or military operation, but mere piracy.
Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, First Lord
Of the Admiralty, made his first appear
ance in the House Of Commons this
afternoon as representative OF the Ad-
Iniralty TO reply 20 further questions
regarding the destruction last week Of
the convoy of neutral merchantmen
and their two torpedo boat destroyer
escorts. an inquiry into which already
has been commenced.
This inquiry. Sir Eric said, will deal
with the general question of conveys,
which was being reviewed IN conse-
ouence of the occurrence. He added
that 10 must be realized that occasional
isolated raids by surface craft were
incidents Of war which could not al
ways be prevented.

them bit. Tie looked about the
trench deiectedly. The soldiers Of the
front line were playing cards, eating
soup or modelling little grotesque hg
ures out Of the soft rock which lined
the walls Of the trenches. He called
sharply TO soldier, who fetched box
of rifle grenades out OF a cubbyhole
and sent half dozen, one after the
other, spinning at the German lines
Probably they fell short. or perhaps
the Germans were simply sullen. Az
any rate, they paid no attention. They
were not disposed into being prodded
TO show off for American visitors.
The officer suddenly thought up a
method to retrieve tho lost reputation
of his trench. II we could only stay
until dark he would send US all out on
a patrolling party right up to the wire
in front Of the German first line.
We declined, and made some little
haste TO leave this ever so obliging
officer. In another moment we feared
he would organize an exhibition often
sive for our benefit and reserve US
places in the first wave.
II things were quiet on the ground
there was plenty Of activity aloft. II
was clear day, and both sides had big
sausage balloons up for observation.
Once a German plane tried to at
tack French sausage, but it was
driven of, and all day long the Ger
mans sought without success TO wing
the balloon with one of their long
range guns. In that particular sector
IN that nnrticular day the French nm
questionably had the mastery of the
air. We saw four of their planes in
the air to every one German, and once
a feet Of five cruised over the German
lines. The Boche opened on them with
shrapnel 1t was a clear day, without
a breath of wind. and the white pufTs
chung to the sky at the point where
they broke. II looked as il some gigan-
tic Charlie Chaplin had thrown hand
full of cream puffs at the roof of
heaven.
Presently the French planes swooped
much lower, and the Germans opened
on them with machine guns. Some
body, and think it was Herbert Corey,
has said that machine gun fire sounds
as if a crazy carpenter was Singing
a roof, and somebody else has com
pared the noise TO typewriter being
operated in an upper room, but 1t IS
still more like a riveting machine. 1t
has a businesslike, methodical sound
to me. To my ear there is no malice
in a machine gun, but then have never
heard it from an aeroplane.
The officer in charge accompanied us
TO the end of the communicating trench.

RHEIMS, Oct. 12.-"LEclaireur do
FEST" has no humorous column. no
editorials, no sporting page and no dra-
matte reviews, and yet it is probably
the most difficult paper in the world to
edit. The printing shop stands just
behind the cathedral of Rheims, and
the chief reportorial task OF the stan
Of "L'Eclaireur" is to count the number
Of shells which fall into the city each
day.
II is not a difficult assignment The
reporter can hear them all from his
desk. and many he can see. for the
cathedral. across the street. is still the
favorite target Of the Germans.
Sometimes the reporter does not have
TO look so far. The Office of "LEclai-
reur" has been hit eleven times dur
ing the bombardmcnt and seven mem
bers of the staff have been killed. ono
big shell fell fair in the composing
room and wrecked all the linotype ma
chimes, and SO now the paper is set by
hand.
1t is single sheet and tho circula-
ton il limited. for only 5000 or 1000
civilians have stuck 30 Rheims through
out the bombardment. Many more
STAYED during the early days, despite
the rain of shells, and the children
went TO underground schools In great
vine cellars of the town. Presently,
however, the Germans began TO put gas
shells into the city, and then came the
exodus. The few who are left dYindle,
for there are daily civilian casualties
in the city.
We arrived in the city at noon, and
after lunch at a far end Of town, which
&c almost out Of shell range. we went
TO tho office of "LEclaireur." The
editor met US and explained that 1t
was very quiet day. Not q single
she'll had fallen in the city since mid
night, he said. He was decidedly apol--
oCetic about it. The reputation OF
Rheims was only under a temporary
cloud, for no sooner had we entered
the newspaper office than the guns
began and thirty shells fell within the
next hour. One was certainly not
more than two hundred yards from the
Office, but the work went on without
the slightest interruption. Indeed, n
whom we saw at work never
once looked up from his task. He was
the only copyreader ! ever met who
merited unstinted admiration.
