Kills Five SingIehanded.

The Canadians answer was to raid
the German trench that very night
and bring the sign back with them to
their own trench.
A lot of boys from the United States
are lighting in the Canadian ranks,
having Joined long before our coun-
try entered the war. At random 1
pick out a couple and tell what kind
of fighters they are.
There's Billy -, from Rochester. N
y, for example.
Billy was too modest TO explain how
he got his medals for bravery, but one
Of his pals from Toronto told me
about 1t.
BILLY has been blown up three
times. but the Germans can't kill
him." said the Toronto boy. THE last
time he was wounded they shot a ma
chine gun out of his hands, and Billy's
only remark was: We'll, I'll be
damned! 1 didn't think they could
shoot that straight"
On another occasion, after a Ger
man trench had been captured, Billy
located an enemy machine gun that
was firing on his crowd from the rear.
Jumping from one shell hole to anoth-
er, he got to within 30 yards of the
threw bombs. killing and wounding
some of the Germans. He then rushed
forward. overcoming and bayoneting
five surviving gunners.
Then there's Johnnie who
halls from Baltimore. He's another
fine example of what boys from the
United states do when they get in
action.
He wears medal because he went
forward one day under a hot fire from
German guns and carried back to his
own trench his lieutenant who had
been desperately wounded in mo
Mans Land leading a charge on an
enemy trench.
I'm mighty keen for the American
boys in our OUTFIT" Canadian officer
told me. They're regular devils when
they get into action. They use their
brains every minute, too"
Will the American troops make good
over here?
After seeing the Canadians, my pri-
vate bunch is we'll give the Germans
the surprise party of their lives.

The advance of the British has
carried them to the crest of the Pass
chendaeie ridge. the last ridge of the
series OF ridges which In the Ypres
sector have given the Germans the
great advantage of observation with
out having to depend on aerial work.
The plain OF Flanders is beyond and
presents no such obstacles. The ad-
vance has carried the British already
to the junction OF the Ypres-Roulers
railroad with the dirt road north of
Niewemolch. The left wing of the ad-
vance has reached almost to Poelca-

MINING SPECIMENS TO

School of Mines at Moscow adds:
The school of mines is glad to ex-
anime and in a general qualitative way
to determine free of charge the char
acter and approximate composition of
mineral specimens sent to it for iden-
tifications by residents of the state.
In connection with the work of the
u. S. Bureau of Mines and of the State
Geological Survey it would be glad to
have full information, which will he
held as confidential if desired. OF the
source and manner of occurrence of
the deposit from which the sample or
specimen is taken. For the Geological
Museum the School of Mines solicits
good specimens of all kinds of miner
ais and where the specimens are used
for exhibition purposes the donors
name will appear on the card.
Without a special appropriation for
the purpose, il is not possible for us
to make assays or exact cumulative
or extensive qualitative analysis free
of charge, and it will generally be
found more advantageous to have work
OF this character done by competent

House Adopts the
Conference Report
Leader Kitchen Explains AT Length
The Compromises Reached BY The
COnferees.
q. Y. S. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct Without a
dissenting vote the house this after
noon adopted the conferees' report on
the $2,700,000,0OO war revenue bill, af-
ter several hours of explanation of its
various features.
Majority Leader Kitchen and others
spoke at length on the compromises
reached by the conferees and stated
that house conferees report was un-
animOuS.
After the perfunctory reading of
the statement in the conference report
on the bill Majority Leader Kitchen
opened discussion on the bill by an
attack on the newspapers of the coun-
try for exposing the details of the de-
liberations of the conferees, supposed
to be secret.
Mr.. Kitchen predicted that if the
war lasted a year more war profits
taxes would have to be increased ever
more. He explained at length the
compromise reached by the conferees
