HOUSTON CAME BACK AT
KNOX
Two Officials Paused the. Other Day
to Swap Doggerel.

Washington-In the midst OF
wars vicissitudes and alarms two
government officials found time for
thought in lighter vein.
Passing from consideration of leg
islative problems. Senator Knox OF
Pennsylvania sent his compliments
to Secretary Houston of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, congratulating
him on the food canning campaign
the department is conducting and ad-
ding that he was reminded of this
bit of doggerel persiflage:
"A Gamer exceedingly canny, one
morning exclaimed to his granny;
"A Gamer can can everything that
he can, but a Gamer cannot can 4
can, can he?'
The Secretary of Agriculture, not
to be shown up, turned from his ard
uous duties to remind Senator Knox
of this gem from the storehouse OF
memory:
.Tf a woodchuck would chuck all
the wood he could chuck, how much
wood would a woodchuck chuck it
a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

ficial are back at work.-New York

commission form of government, was
recalled from office in today's spe-
cial election after serving three years
and six months of 4-year term.
The vote was 2,28o for removal

does refusal to hear charges that two

extravagant in office and had inn
posed menacing laws upon the people

of revenue and president pro tenn OF

MISS RANKIN MEETS INJURY
Electric Fan Badly Bruises the Con-

Washington-Miss Jeanette Ran
kin, the Lady from Montana and the
first woman ~congresswoman' is
nursing a set of badly bruised fin
gers as the result of misadventure
with an electric fan in a hotel it
Frederick, Md.
Alarming reports were circulated
at first that Miss Rankin had lost the
tips of her fingers. These reports
came from Mount Airy, Pa, where
she was compelled to cancel plat
form engagement.
Miss Rankin later denied that she
had lost her finger tips, but confessed
that they were very sore.

have had similar accidents with po-
litical buzz saws, express the hope
that the "congresswoman" has
learned a lesson.-New York Even

MAsoNs TO FIGHT SALOON
Drastic Amendment May Be Adopted
at St. Louis.

Any Mason in Missouri who signs
a petition for saloon license will
be expelled from that order if an
amendment to the constitution of the
order is passed by the grand lodge,
which meets in St. Louis, September
I8
The proposed amendment was in
troduced at the meeting of the grand
lodge last year and action deferred.
1t has been discussed in aall of the
local lodges OF Missouri and dele
gates have been instructed how to
vote or have gained an idea of the
feeling of their lodges. -
Members of the order are now
prohibited from engaging in the
liquor business and persons engaged
in that business are not received to
membership. The new amendment
provides that any person who rec
ommends such person for member
ship and any lodge receiving such a
person may be punished and such a
person be expelled from member
ship The clause, however, which is
causing discussion is one which pro-
vides: Nor shall any Freemason

Sold Old Horses to the British.

An English newspaper has discov-
cred that the Thrifty American far
mel" has played mean trick on the
officers sent from that country to
buy horses for army service. 1t says
that many of the horses bought in
this country wefe more than 20
years old and ready to die by the
time they were received in England.
As the life of horse in the present
war only averages a few days, what
difference does it make if they are
old? The English are great believers
in conservation, at least they are tor
the other fellow, so why not use up
the old horses in the war and keep
the young, good ones at home to help
in the raising of wheat and corn for
the ones at the front.

OUR high command apparently
meant to make sure thing OF
the general assault upon the Re
gina trench, in which we were to par
ticipate. Three times the order to "gc
over the top" was countermanded. The
assault was first planned for Oct. 10
Then the date was changed to the Goth
Finally, at 1910 noon of Oct. 81, we
went. 1t was the first general assault
we had taken part in, and we were In
a highly nervous state. I'll admit
that.
1t seemed almost certain death to
start over in broad daylight, yet, as
1t turned out, the crossing of No Mans
Land was accomplished rather more
easily than in our night raids. Our
battalion was on the extreme right OF
the line, and that added materially to
our difficulties, first by compelling us
to advance through mud so deep that
some of our men sank to their hips In
1t and, second, by giving us the hottest
little spot in France to hold later.
was in charge of the second
'wave," or assault line. This is called
the "mopping up" wave, because the
business of the men composing it is
thoroughly to bomb out a position
crossed by the first wave, to capture
or kill all Of the enemy remaining and
to put the trench in q condition to be
: defended against counterattack by
reversing the fire steps and throwing
up parapets.
Our artillery had given the Germans
such a battering and the curtain fire
which our guns dropped just thirty to
forty yards ahead of US was so pow
erful that we lost comparatively few
men going over-only those who were
knocked down by shells which the Ger
mans landed among us through our
barrage. They never caught us with
their machine gun sweeping until we
neared their trenches. Then q good
many of our men began to drop, but
we were In their front trench before
they could cut us up anywhere near
completely. Going over l was struck

flank bnrricade. The Germans had
concluded that II was useless to try to
drive us out. About one-fourth Of the
600 of us who were still on their feet
were holding the sentry posts, and the
remainder of the COO were having
banquets In the German dugouts, which
were stocked up like delicatessen shops
