FEW WOUNDS BY COLD STEEL
shrapnel and Shelf Fragments Cause
Greatest Trouble Owing to Greater
Danger Of Infection.

Much IL said about the comparative
iy unimportant part played by cold
steel In the present war. The follow
Ing passage from the article on ssur-
gerry, Military" In the New Interna-
tional Encyclopedia, would aeem 20 In
dictate that conditions had not changed
much In that respect since tho Franco
Prussian war; also that the general
classes OF wounds remain essentially
the same.
"Shrapnel wounds are like those OF
the old round leaden musket balls, be-
cause OF their low velocity they are
more frequently lodged In wounds than
are rife bullets. Shell wounds. as a
class, are much less frequent, but far
more severe than Rhrapnel wounds.
Shell fragments cause complete de-
struetlon near the bursting point. but
effect less damage In more distant
Zones. Both shrnpnel and shell
wounds are usually infected, because
the missiles carry into tho wounds
pieces Of clothing and other foreign
matter, The danger OF infection is
much Increased because Of the greater
extent Of liberation. Wounds by bayo-
net saber and lance occur NO infre-
quently as to be OF minor interest. Dur
ing the Franco-pruaSian war there
were only 600 wounds by cold steel
among $4,000 wounded Grenhdem,
thrown by hand, rifle and trench NOR
tar, revival In late wars OF an earlier
practice. recently have been used 10
a conspicuous extent In Flanders aud
France. Their wounds differ In no
material particular from those Of she'll
fragments and subterrnnann mines"

DUTIES ON GRAIN
Vital Matters With Which Con-,
gress Has to Deal.
United States Has the Right and Is In
Position to Demand That Question
OF Preferential Tariffs Shall
Be Settled at Once.

America Is vitality interested In the
work OF the British imperial confer
ence recently held In London. Some OF
the matters dealt with by that confer
ence were Of a confidential nature. but
the nature of others has been dis
closed. For example, II Is known that
the conference passed resolution APP
proving imperial preference. In the
matter OF trade.
This means that the British isles
propose to give preferential. or
lower, duty to grain imported from
Canada than on grain imported
from the United States. The British,
isles constitute the chief market for
our foodstuffs. But preference
for Canadian products would take
away hundreds of millions of dollars
from the value of our farms and trans
fer that amount to the value of Cana
dian farms. Such measure would
cause a rush across the Canadian bor-
der such as has not yet been dreamed
Of. Such measure would subsidize
every American industry with large
British trade tUput up factories across
the border and employ Canadian, not
American, workmen on Its foreign or
ders.
Before this matter goes further our
state department at Washington should
see to 1t that the United States will be
treated by the British isles upon the
same basis as British colonies In this
matter Of customs tariffs. That pro-
vision should be accepted by the Brit
ish government now, at time when
that government Is under obligations
which it deeply feels and which 1t Is
eager TO discharge.

Free Trade Tariff Commission.

1t is rumored that the new tariff
commission Is contemplating trip
abroad In the near future. We are

II is hardly probable that n commits
sion appointed to investigate the vari-
GUS questions which enter into the
problem OF manufactures or manufac-
turing In Europe and the Orient should
desire to cross the ocean at the pres
ent time when such an investigation
as congress requires Is manifestly im-
possible.
No satisfactory investigation can
be made till the war ends and normal
conditions are fully restored and re-
established, and this may be some
years hence.
To say nothing about the dangers
attending such an expedition at pres
ent. the commission would be charged
with taking the journey for It's own
pleasure and to crafty Its own curl
osity simply because II could be taken
mt the public expense with the knowl-
edge on the part Of the public that

''It's Bull Page" declared De Spain.
after the exchange OF few words,
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1917-06-09

calling to Bull at the same time to
| come over to the shelter of the trees.
"What's going on in there, Bull"
asked De Spain after Bull had told
him that Gale had driven him out. and
he was heading for Calabasas.
"You TELL" retorted Page. Looks
to me like old Dukes getting ready
to die. Gale says he's going to draw
his will tonight. and don't want no
body around-got old Judge Druel In
there"
De Spain pricked up his ears
whats that, Druel?" he demanded.
Bull repeated his declaration. Lefe-
yer broke into violent language at the
Sleepy Cat jurist's expense, and ended
by declaring that no will should be
drawn in the gap that night by Duke
and Bull were made legatees.
Beyond this nothing could be
learned from Bull, who was persuad-
ed without difficulty by Lefever TO
abandon the Idea of riding to Calnba-
sas through the rain, and to spend
the night with him in the neighbour
hood, wherever fancy, the rain, and
the wind-which was rislng-should
dictate.
While the two were talking, De
| Spain tried to slip away, unobserved
by Lefever, on his errand. He failed,
as he expected to, and after some ia
miliar abuse, rode Off alone, fortified
by every possible suggestion at the
hands of man to whom the slightest
precaution was usually joke.
De Spain reached Dukes ranch I'M
challenged. Night had fallen every
where, and the increasing rain OBJ
scured even the outline of the house.
But light shone through one incur
tanned window. He waited some time
for sound of life. for door to open
or close, or for the dog to bark-he
heard nothing. Slipping out of the
wet saddle, he led his horse in the
darkness under the shelter of the lone
pine tree and. securing him, walked
slowly toward the house.
Mindful of the admonitlons he had
been loaded with, he tramped around
the house in narrowing circles. paus-
ing at times to look and listen. In
like manner he circled the barn and
stables, until he had made sure there
was no ambush and that he was alone
outside. After time he stepped
around to the front Of the house,
where, screened by bit Of shrubbery.
he could peer at close range into the
living room.
Standing before the fire burning In
the open hearth, and with his back
to 1t, he now saw Gale Morgan. Sit
ting bolt upright beside the table,
square-jawed and obdurate, his stubby
brier pipe supported by his hand and
gripped in his great teeth, Duke Nor
gan looked uncompromlsingly past his
/ belligerent nephew into the fire. A
third and elderly man. heavy, red
faced, and almost toothless as he
spoke, sat to the right Of the table In
rocking chair, and looked at Duke |;
this was the old lawyer aud justice
from Sleepy Cat, the sheriff's broth
er-Judge Druel.
Nan was not to be seen. Gale, big
and aggressive, was doing most of the
talking, and energetically. as was his
habit. Duke listened thoughtfully,
but seemingly with coldness. Druel
looked from Gale to Duke. and ap-
peared occasionally to put In u word
to carry the argument along.

CHAPTER XIII.
A Surprising Slip.


Scott was called by Lefever to con-
clude in secret the final arrangements.
The ground about the quaking asp
grove, and nearest FL Captain, afford
ed the best concealment close to the
gap. And to this point Scott was d.
rected to bring what men he could be-
fore daybreak the following morning.

men together--of the kind we want"

one parting caution-not to leave the
aspens until rain began falling. When
he spoke there was not cloud In the
