Under terrible weather conditions

Despite the storm, the Sammies arc

The Americans morale is excellent.
Like the Canadians. the officers have
difficulty in preventing the men from
charging the enemy without orders.
The Sammles are anxious to fight.

now on It's way east. Authorities who
are responsible for the arrest Of VIII
liam Dolfen. the company's cook, as
an alleged German spy. yesterday ad-
mitted this. Captain James J. Cross
ley, the comanding officer of the COM
pany, also admitted it just before the
regiment left Portland.
One OF the men holds the rank of
sergeant. the highest non-comission-
ed post in a company. The other man
is private So far, the authorities
say, these men have given no reason
for suspicion, outside of the fact that
they are unnatUralized citizens serv-
ing in the United States army.
Orders Evidently Disregarded.
It is said that they enlisted in the
company on unsupported claims that
they were citizens, as in the case Of
Dolfen.
This is more evidence that a mans
past record should be looked UP be-
ore he is enlisted in our army said
K. P. Bonham. head Of the immigra-
tien service, We have no reason to
doubt the loyalty of these men, but
the mere fact that they are unnatur-
allied Germans is enough to arouse
suspicion.
Another development today is the
admission of the authorities that they
have convincing evidence that he is
off one of the interned German ships. f
DQlfen, according TO witnesses, has /
admitted that he was mem Der OF
the crew Of the giant liner Vaterland.
Statements as to mis- entry into the s
United states have been absolutely
disproven by the New York office of

UNDER SOME FLAG

Recruiting officers for the Canadian army have
opened Offices in Grand Forks. and applications from
Canadians desiring to enlist will be received. There are
In North Dakota something over 1000 Canadians eligi-
BILE for military service. In Grand Forks there are about
rs. After deductions have been made on account OF cases
in which the individuals are not physically fit. or where
something in their circumstances would properly ex-
j clude them, there remains a large number Of men who
should be taking their part. with others Of their own
country. in the war which has already drained Canada
OF thousands Of its finest men, and in the prosecution OF
which the civilian population of that country have vol
unfairly subjected themselves to extraordinary priva-
lions. -
The United States government has declared that all
citizens Of this country Of proper age must hold them
selves liable for military service il the need for their
services arises and they are found physically At and 9TH
/ erwise eligible. It would obviously be unjust to our
own citizens to require our own mon to serve. and at the
! same time to permit this country to DO the asylum for
citizens of another country who, II at home. would be
/ drafted for service. 1t will not be long before another
session Of congress, and, If legislative action Is needed.
such action should be. and probably will be taken as will
deprive Canadians resident in this country Of the oppor-
1 tunity to evade the military laws Of their own land, and
1t the same time to escape service under the laws Of thu
\ United States.
There are q, good many Canadians in the north
/ west who ought to be serving under sone flag. The

CLOTHES MADE
OUT OF PAPER
IN GERMANY
Employment Of Paper Yarn
Progresses Enormously
- in all Sections. S.

Amsterdam, Nov. THE employ
.ment Of paper yarn in all directions in
Germany has made enormous prog
ress during the past year. Cloth and
fabrics made entirely Of paper yarn
are now widely used. The base or
these Is q simple one-colored paper
yarn used In exactly the same way as
jute, prisoners camps are now sup
piled with mattresses and sven pill
lows in which the covering Is made Of
this fabric. In, fact, paper weaving
has made such strides that twills are
now produced, and the time 10 not far
distant when 1t will be possible to OBJ
tain excellent grades Of worsted made
Of paper, and already the first pat
terms Of such fabrics are being ex-
hibited.
Readymade clothing in paper is at
present confined for the most part to
special workmen's clothing. Entire
suits Of this are exhibited, as we'll as
aprons, overalls. and on1ceAcoats. The
price Of paper fabrics varies between
Is cents and one dollar q yard.
Readymade workmen's aprons and
overalls are sold at six dollars q dozen.
For the entire suits the price is about
i've dollars.
Tho paper clothing is not. however,
entirely confined to workmen,s cloth
ing. A beginning has been made in
supplying garments for women and
chill lren. For children there Is q wide
variety Of paper garments available
For women, the offerings are thus fa1
confined to underclothing.

THE NEW YORK ELECTION

The result of the New York city election is q victory
for the kaiser. The greatest city in America has refused

for the war policy Of the American government, and
elected In his stead a nonentity, a man Of whom little
was known, and that little not greatly to his credit, who,
!together with the support Of the most corrupt political
organization in the country, had the support, active and

That section Of the Republican party which corresponds

the members Of that faction detested for the very. quail

AS WAS EXPECTED

Tho encounter In which the American forces In the
French trenches sustained their first losses cannot be
sdixnihed with the name Of battle. It was q rain similar
tothoss that are being made continually along the whole
line from Switzerland to the sea. Toe oppusinx forces
ae constantly sending out little par ,ias 70 raid sections
Of their opponents trenches. There is a steadily advance
across No Mans land, a sudden onslaught, a fierce strug-
gle. often in black darkness. and either the raiders are
routed or they return. leaving q few dead and wounded
and driving a handful Of prisoners before them. Seldom
are trenches thus entered retained by the attacking party
nor is it expected that they shall be.
The American troops were visited by one Of these
raiding parties. and the losses reported are the result.
How many Of the enemy were wounded or killed could
not be aseertainsd. While the engagement was a little
one. the American; soldiers did just what was expected
Of them. They stood their ground. They fought man
won the praise Of their French %neishbors who. through
enterprises. 90
We Americans have in the past not appreciated our
regular army. It was a small body, and 1t had seldom
been called on for active service. We were apt to forget
that we had an army. But the American regular army
has long been recognized BY impartial military experts
as one Of the finest military bodies in the world. Its of:
hcers are West Point men. and such men as Kitchener
have recognized in West Point, q training school fol
officers unsurpassed anywhere. The army iself has par
taken Of the quality Of its officers. Hence It ID not a
all surprising that the men Of this army have acquitted
themselves in such q manner ~ to win praise from thel
allies In the trenches. And when the time comes for ,oul
soldiers to take charge Of important sections Of the IRON
and to participate In major enterprises, they will withou
doubt, repeat their good work on q larger scaleI
