Workmen who are listening to me,

Frances distinguished representa-

determination of Americas foreign

Even in the cities where the Germans
and Austrians are large part OF the
mia bitants, and especially in st. Louis,
where half the city is of German de-
scent or German born, the mayor a

the pledges given was a revelation.

Ability and Will to Do.

e realize that the west and mid
de west of the United States is the
granary not only of the United States
but of the whole world almost. The
unlimited part that territory could
play in the planting of larger crops
might win the war. After seeing the
splendid men. women and children of
tho middle west, we feel no uneasiness
A. to their willingness, the reception
accorded us everywhere we went made
us feel sure that the spirit of doing the
work was there as well as the means of
dong it,
Marshal Joffre, when asked his i'm
pr@ssions. said: Il am a soldier and

greeted with sights such as greeted

well did.

Enthusiasm Everywhere.

Wonderful enthusiasm. sincere and
spontaneous. has greeted Frances COM
nlssioners everywhere since they left
Washington. They have seen for them
selves that Americans are united, de-
termined and confident that the war
shall result in victory against Germany
and her allies, and that every resource
OF the United States is pledged to that
end, no matter what the sacrifice NAV
be.
The enthusiasm of the hundreds of
thousands of Americans, who in yari-
Gus cities turned out and cheered the
visitors, was astounding to the French
commissioners and has carried with if
conviction to them.
NJ Niyiani, leader of the mission
Speaking of the trip, said this:
We have been surprised and de-
llghted at our generous welcome in
the middle west. The expressions of
cordial friendship that were every-
where extended to us was particularly
remarka Die. That every member of
the communities of whatever race
should have shown so deep sympathy
with the cause of France deeply
gratified US. Indeed, the visit to St
Louis, Kansas City and Chicago and
the trip through Indiana, Illinois and
missouri. has been a revelation to US
For by direct contact with things
alone can we realize what they really
are and in spite of all we have read
and heard of the immense facilities

We found our conceptions surpassed

IN THE WAR ZONES

Victory is becoming in
creasingly assured" was the confident
note sounded by Premier Lloyd
George in a speech. Before June,
1915, we lost eighty-four guns and a
number of prisoners; thereafter we
have not lost single gun, while we
captured 400 and have taken prison
ers at ratio of ten of the enemy for
one of ours. This means not only
ultimate victory, but at less loss. Our
chances are growing as our equipment
is improving. And the Germans know
it-which explains the despair driving
them into black piracy on the sea-"
London-German destroyers at
tackled Ramsgate, according to an Of
fetal announcement. A large num-
Der of shells were fired. The destroy
ers, however, were driven off by the
fire from the land batteries and war
ships. One man and one woman were
killed and one man and two women
injured.
Paris-The French drive along the
Aisne still continues, with the Ger
mans making every effort to check the
advance. The weeks offensive has
cost the Germans 100000 men in
killed, wounded and captured Of this
number 10000 are prisoners.
Berlin-The admiralty makes the
following announcement: German
seaplanes successfully bombed the
harbor works at Sulina I'm Rumania
on the Black sea, near the Russian
border). Large fires broke out in the
harbor works and on barges.''
Christiania-The Norwegian steam
er Haarfagre has been captured by
the Germans and taken into German
port, says a dispatch here. Two more
Norwegian ships have been sunk by
German submarines. They were the
Stegg and Este.
Petrograd-Complete destruction of
the Turkish harbor works at Kerasunt
and of five Turkish vessels in that
port was announced officially as the
successful outcome of a Russian
cruiser, destroyer and a submarine
raid
London-An attack by German tor
pedo boat destrOyers on Dunkirk.

ships, the Germans losing one vessel
Petrograd-A great battle has de-
veloped on the western front south OF
Riga. 1t is thought to be the start
of Germany's move on Petrograd.

Mundartakara.N

In England in 1914 undertakers were
men of influence who undertook for
consideration to get such persons re-
turned to parliament as would prove
submissive to the royal will Of King
James /. The three chief undertakers
of 1914 were Lords Bacon, Somerset
and Neville Then there were under
takers in Ireland in 1908. They were
English and Scotch colonists sent to
north Ireland and were each allotted
1000 acres of land. They were men Of
capital and undertook to pay a mark
a year for every six acres and to ad-
NIT no recusant for tenants; hence the
name as applied to them. But neither
the histories nor the dictionaries give
any reason for calling the men who
bury our dead undertakers.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
Care Should Be Taken to Minimize the
Danger of Accidents.

Care ShouId Be aken TO minimize GnW
Danger of Accidents.
At least three-fourths of the acci-
dents that occur In mountaineering are
the results Of foolhardiness.
More than half Of the entire num-
Der Of accidents happen to persons
climbing without guides, some to
climbers attempting a dangerous or
impossible route with guides, and
there are still other forms Of folly.
One may carelessly engage an incom-
petent guide or an overbold one, who
will undertake an ascent under unfa-
vorable conditions.
Eliminating these contingencies, there
remain certain risks which must be
taken by every climber who ascends
difficult mountains.
However fine the weather, there is
the possibility that a sudden storm
may render the descent perilous,
though even then the chances are ten
to one that a skillful climber with
first class guides will return In safety.
Furthermore, on certain mountains
there are places where a party Is ex-
posed to danger from avalanches or
falling stones.
The risk may often be reduced to the
minimum by waiting for the best of
weather or by making very early
start.-All Outdoors.
