LEGION OF HONOR FUR \ YOUNG
 FRENCH LAD
tBy United Press)

PARIS. Sept. 8. The cross of the Legion of Honor was conferred upon -a'-- -sA-'s snfrsnna vaar old Alaatian hs. iha- name of Alt recently, as the result of a most remarkable career in the French army, prompted solely by his great desire to see his native province of Alsace reunited to France. Ats services in the Alsation cause have now been cut short by the loss of leg. Although the cross of the Legion of Honor is designed to recompense him in part for this, he declares the recompense that alone will satisfy him will be the ultimate return of AL sace to France.
 Alt has been from his boyhood one of the most ardent champions of the Alsation cause. When the war broke out he was at Foul. Although only eighteen years of age then, he enlisted in the Frenh Foreign Legion and made the campaign on the Yser. With 27 wounds in his body, he was left on the Belgian battlefield for dead, but was later picked up and taken to a his pital
 The doctors declare that it was his determination to get we'll and keep on fighting for Alsace that pulled him through. Hardly was he out of the hospital than he was back in the French ranks demanding to be as, signed to the most perilous tasks.
 Alt had been serving for some time as an observer in large tree far in advance of the French lines. Eventu- ally the tree fell under suspicion of the Germans, and they at once sur rounded it was a barrage fire that made escape practically impossible. The Germans directed shell after shell at the tree, until one struck squarely and felled it to the ground Tn the fail Alt received wounds that made 1t i'm possible for him to flee. From nine in the morning till midnight Alt lay on the ground, hoping almost against hope.
 At midnight the barrage ceased and German sergeant and two soldiers crept out of their trenches to take Alt prisoner. He drew his revolver, wait ed till they were close, and shot all three. French comrades reached the wounded Alsatian and carried him back to their lines. The Legion of Honor was conferred on Alt at the hospital where he is recovering from the amputation of his leg.

AMERICANS NOW WEAR UNIFORM

Frank H. Burr, of Columbus. Ohio. lieutenant in the American Legion. Canada's little vanguard of American troops, was telling of the Americans advance during recent battle on the Canadian front.
 We jumped over at exactly seven o'clock" said Burr. Tt was a beau tiful morning, though marred some what by the shuttle and bang of our shells tearing up Fritzie's barbed wire entanglements.

 "It's funny-the things fellow will notice in time like that. I picked up little fox terrier dog. He frisked and parked and leaped around me as though he had found an old friend. He seemed to know just when to drop into shell holes. When we reached our ob- jective and captured the remaining Germans. the dog was still there, sniff fling around dugouts, exploring shell holes and running up and down the old trench. A dog as lucky as that one is worth keeping; he's our company mascot now.
 'I put hands upon one Prussian guardsman myself. The gentleman has a brother in San Francisco, Cal, and he couldn't get over his surprise at finding Americans in the line in Canadian uniforms.
 Most of the ~Fritzies hate to be captured by the Canadians. because our fellows grab everything they can move as souvenirs. They bring back junk of all kinds - helmets, German coins. revolvers, knives and even pants buttons. Fritz says the Cana dians and Americans are fighting for souvenirs and it looks like it when we line up bunch of prisoners and begin frisking their pockets"

CANADA 'SF|GHT |S NOW OVER THE
 DRAF I LAW
(By United Pressl

OTTAWA, Canada. Sept. 8. - To define Canadian political designations in American terms, the Liberal would be Democrat in the United States. The Conservative would be a Repub- lican. Party organizations are more rigid in Canada than they are now in the United States, but in both the Lib eral and Conservative parties there Is the natural grouping of progressives and reactionary clements.
 Both party organizations have been hard hit in the fight over the con scription issue, which will eulminate in the general election next fall. The anti-conscriptionist Liberal party (the outs), under Laurier's leadership, are going into the fight with the solid support of the province of Quebec Quebec returns sixty-five seats to the house of commons. Conservatives con- sixty of them. Quebec is the solid south" of Canada.
 There are 50O.0OO Germans and Aus trians in Canada, chiefly located in the western provinces. Public opinion is that this vote will be almost solidly Liberal Along with this vote there will be what Conservatives call the stacker vote," or the support of men who have not enlisted. This will be important without question. Laurier, too, has a certain advantage in the fact that over 100000 of the most pro. gressive and aggressive of Canada's men are in war duty in Europe. Their strength would be strongly pro-con- scription.
 While Canadian soldiers can vote previous efforts along that line have shown the difficulties of conducting an election along the fighting front are tremendous, But twenty per cent of the soldier vote of British Co umbia was cast and counted in a re cent provincial election.
 It is upon these forces, the French Canadian vote. the alien, the stacker" and the dyed in the wool" Liberal l'arty man. that Sir Wilfrid hasss his hopes Of success.
 On the Conservative side 1t is freely admitted that the outlook for success is not the brightest Yet Borden has many sources of strength. He has be. hind him far more united party than Laurier. Early in the campaign a proposal for a coalition government was proposed to Laurier, but refused by him. Now there is very strong talk of Unionist government made up of Conservatives and Twin the War" Liberals.
 This is the lineup in Canada. They have brands of political hookum over there that have never been smoked on this side of the lakes, and every pipe is going to be put to it, full blast.

ALASKAN TRAVEL UNUSUALLY
 HEAVY
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8. - As result of the entry of the United States into the European war. tourist travel to Alaska during the summer months fell somewhat below the high records of previous years. This de- crease was more than offset, however. by the increase in the number of ordi- nary passengers, according to statis- ties just compiled by the Pacific Steamship Company.
 Officials of the company's traffic department declare that the number of persons who travelled for purely business reasons had been unprece- dented. This class includes commer- cial salesmen and buyers and per sons engaged in fishing, mining or other industries in Alaska. The num- Der of resident Alaskans who have made trips back and forth has also been heavy.
 'This would seem to indicate a healthy condition in Alaska despite the slump in gold mine operation" said J. R. Haywood, vice-president of the company. Most of the people are awakening to the fact that great wealth lies in mining her industrial metals such as copper, and in her coal and timber resources and her great fishing industry. These are potential sources of wealth which are just in the infancy of their development"

SERBIAN GOVT. MOVED BACK TO

(By Associated Press)

CORFU, Island of Corfu, Sept S. The Serbian government is preparing to move its entire government estab- lishment back to the Balkans, going first to Salonild and later to a point on Serbian soil near Monastir. The Greek government has already grant ed the request for the establishment of the Serbian administration at Sa- loniki and King Peter, Crown Prince Alexander and several of the cabinet ministers are now installed there.
 There is much sentiment about this shift of Serbia back to it's native soil. Since their tragic flight before the invading hordes from the north, king. regent and government have found a temporary asylum on this island They have lived simply and the whole establishment has been located in a modest building formerly used as a hotel. The royal apartments and the ministry of foreign affairs occupied the first floor. while the finance. in terior and other ministries were on upper floors. The French military authorities of the island have given every aid. and yet the Serbians have constantly longed to be back on their own soil

BRITISH F|GURE ON AF TER WAR
 CONDITIONS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Sept 8. - A vast sphere
 f work lies before the new British .ffinister of reconstruction, whose of.
 ,ce has just been added to those in-
 iuded in the British cabinet. Prem Pr Lloyd George is firmly convinced
 hat the foundation for the complex york of reconstruction after the war ought to be be gun at once, even If it $ at first confined to matters of in-
 luiry and investigation.
 The largest question before the new ministry will be the question of carry ssng out the governments pledges to the labor unions that their pre-war position will be restored to them. Elm ployers frequently have argued that this will be impossible. Union leaders snsist that the government has given it's pledge and must fulfill it.
 Discussing this phase of postwar conditions, Professor l.. T. Hobhouse, head of the department of sociology in London University, and one of the governments advisers on labor, said today:
 "The business of the minister of re- construction is to think out the best methods by which the half-formulated. half understood impulses of the masses of the people can get them selves expressed In reasonable man ner. The first problem with which we shall be faced is that of recon structing trade union conditions. I say reeonstructing advisedly, because if we were to speak of restoration there would be those who would say at once that it is impossible in view of the total change in conditions which the war has brought about.
 But this is problem in which the good faith of the government is in yolyed. Nothing could be more defi- mite than the pledge to the trade un- ionists that the alterations involved in dilution of labor and the suspension of customs of trade should hold only for the period of the war. If this pledge is not fulfilled 1t will be a fatal blow to the confidence of the public in the good faith of governments II 1t is shown that 1t cannot be fulfilled because circumstances have altered the answer must be that We can only vary a pledge with the consent of the persons to whom the pledge was made
 "If it is true that the old labor con ditions cannot be restored, then it will be for the trade unionists to deter mine what arrangements they would accept as a substitute for the old con. ditions. The reconstruction committee has already taken step in this direc- tion by suggesting the formation of in dustrial councils in which both em- ployer and employed shall be repre- sented and have considerable powers in shaping the course of each industry In such councils it will be possible for trade unionists and employers to dis cuss frankly and fully the best meth ods of meeting the new situation. so as to secure renewed progress of British industry with fair conditions for the worker. Any system to which the trade union members of such coun- cils agree might, for that industry be taken as the fair equivalent of that restoration of conditions which we pledged.
 Much of the unrest in the labor world today. attributed to doubts as to the fulfillment of this pledge, might be overcome if such method of re- deeming the pledge were adopted"
