RUSSIANS THINK U. 5.
 IN THE WAR FOR GAIN

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6.-Dr, Frank Billings, head of the Red Cross special commission to Russia, who has just returned here, told President Will son that the most popular belief in Russia today is that the Americans are in the war for financial gain and are virtually British vassals. This be- lief is of course the result of German fostered reports. Dr. Billings declar- ed, however that Russians regarded America as their best friend.
 General conditions in Russia are constantly improving and the army is being reorganized and will be prepared to fight to the end, in a few months. He expressed the opinion that the Russians would remain loyal to the cause of the Allies.

CAPT. DEGUELDRE SPEAKS
 WELL OF w. o. GRANT

Capt. H. De Gueldre arrived in town last evening on short business trip connected with the windup of the sea sons business at the Kasaan cannery where he is in charge as superintend- ent
 When interviewed this morning he said, q am both surprised and deep ly sorry over the sudden death of MT. w. O. Grant"
 He was employed at the Kasaan cannery from the first day of July as watchman and proved himself a most efficient, conscientious and satisfactory officer. If he suffered from any men, tai trouble, he never showed any in dication of it outwardly. I have dur ing my experience as shipmate and cannery superintendent had to do with a great many employees in all kinds of work and I can truthfully say I have never met a man who strove more earnestly to perform his duty. He was a man of few words but strictly business-like and on the job all the time and I consider it not only duty but distinct privilege to testify to his work as an officer and character as man."
