Action at Once,

LONDON, Oct. 1G-The Deutsches
Tages Zeitung of Berlin as quoted in
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Amsterdam, says that Count Czernin,
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister,
recently requested the German chan
cellOr. DR.. Michaelis, to state Ger
many's peace terms, urging that Ger
many make concessions in the west
Count Czernin received vague reply
whereupon he stated that he could no
longer negotiate with DR.. Michaelis,
inasmuch as the chancellor made
vague statements when clearness and
frankness were imperatively neces-
sary.
These statements of the Tag yes Zei-

says, and have made a great sensation
being particularly illustrative of the
fervent desire for peace on the part

War Songs.

Sometimes war songs become real
national anthems, and sometimes the
tune Of the national anthem Is made to
fit topical words, but in every instance
each phase of war has its particular
song that is sung and whistled till it
is implanted forever in the hearts Of
the men who fight and those who wait
at home. Usually the tune Is a swing
ing march, that the men can sing as
they advance, hut sometimes it Is \
haunting melody whose sentimental
quality makes it appeal to the man
who is nearer to ceath than to home,
and often friend and foe alike sing
the same tune with different words.

Commanding Officer Sends Letter to
Mr.. Gary compIimenting Him for
His Bravery in Action.

The Review received letter this
morning from C. B. Smith, of Wheat
on, ILL.,, who was one of the pioneer
residents OF West Side, in which he
states that his nephew, Frank j. Gary,
Jr., also a former resident OF West
Side, has been in active service in
France for the past two years.
Frank Gary enlisted as private
and for the past two years has been
fighting in the trenches. He has been
promoted form time to time until now
he holds the office Of major. He was
personally decorated by the king of
England with the military cross,
which is the next highest honor that
can be conferred-the Victoria cross
being. the highest.
Mr., Smith forwarded the Review a
copy of the letter sent to Mr.. Gary by
his commanding officer, which will be
OF interest to his old friends and &C.
quaintances in West Side and vicin-
fly, who will be glad to know that
Crawford county IS represented in

making good.
The letter follows:

major F. j. Gary,
1921 Canadian Battalion.
my Dear Gary:
II am glad that you have received
the Military cross for your work in
connection with the raid on the crater
at Bell street on the 9th of last month.
This raid was very successful and
owed much of its success to the abil-
ity with which you organized it. I am
pleased to see that the recommended
ton went through so promptly.
'"As you know, l believe in cOntinu-
ously harassing the enemy and giving
them no rest whatever. BY this means
we are gradually wearing them down,
as their increased nervousness and
decreased morale show constantly.
Raids proyide one Of the very best
means Of weakening them. Every op-
Grafton, such as that SO ably planned
and conducted by yourself on the. 9th,
is another nail driven into the Huns |
coffin. You have demonstrated that |
you can use a hammer with the best |
of US.
+ please accept my sincerest con.
and my thanks for the |
assistance you have thus far rendered |
to the brigade.
with best wishes,
Yours Sincerely,

the reported walyout Of 10000 miners

ference is given as the cause for the
miners strike. With freight rate

able to meet any further increase in
wages to miners under the coal price
set by the government.

offices of the Illinois Coal Operators
association. :
Demands of 10 cents ton increase
for digging coal, IS day for day
work and IS per cent advance for
yardage and dead work were to have
been allowed by operators. it was
stated, contingent upon permission by
the fuel administration for an increase
in coal prices to absorb the wage in
creases.
Today was the beginning of the sec
ond day period for October and min
ers insisted that the advance in pay
begin today.
Reports said miners in Missouri, Ar
