RAILWAY MISSION
ARRIVES IN UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 18.-A
special mission representing the In
erial Japanese railways has arrived
on the Pacific coast and will under
take at once a study of American
transportation and industrial conQl-
tons. The party will proceed east
by way of the Grand Canyon, Pueblo,
Denver and Chicago, arriving in New
York on October 81.
Secretary Redfeld is arranging for
the entertainment of the commission
until it reaches Washington, and has
designated a Japanese-speaking rtpre-
sentative of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce to conduct the
members personally on their trip
across the country. Prominent rail-
read officials have volunteered to fur
rish every facility for a thorough
study of their systems. When the
mission reaches Washington, the state
department will receive it officially on
behalf of the government.
The object of the visit is to invest
gate the present transportation condi-
tions in the United States, to inspect
the principal industrial plants and
mines, to study the loading and un-
loading of cotton, and to observe the
methods employed in the large rail
road sorting yards. There is also the
object of further developing the good
feeling between the two countries that
has been growing so rapidly since
the United States entered the war.
1t is announced that the Imperial
Japanese railways are represented on
the mission by Jiro Nakamura, assist
ant traffic manager; Akio Kasama,
secretary and purchasing agent; DIR.
Yasujiro Shima, director of machinery
and rolling stock, and S, Kobaqashi,
resident engineer at New York.

Origin of "COppedhead."

At last old William Pitt Fessenden.
United States Senator from Maine, had
no doubt about the significance of the
terms "copperhead."
Neither Vallandingham' fiery poll
nor the American Indian had aught to
do with its birth as venomcus epithet
Albert E. Fletcher writes from
Pennington, Conn, an interesting
story of how he listened to Fessenden
make victrolic speech in 1868, when
the great senator talked upon this
very topic of "copperheads.
He explained" writes Mr.. Fletcher,
what a copperhead snake was, and
then made it clear what 'copperhead'
citizen was" He illustrated his mean
ing by waving slowly back and forth
his long, bony hand with the squirming
motions of snake, and repeated the
followin
He wires and wires out,
And leaves the people in doubt
Whether the snakes that made the
track
Was going south or coming back.
This was not entirely original with
Senator Fessenden, as he borrowed the
though from a revolutionary source.

Berteling Boys
Enlist For War
With Germany
Sons of Dr.. J. B. BerteIing to
Become Members of Uncle
Sans Fighting Force.

Two notable contributions Of
South Bend boys-or former South
Bend Boys.-to Uncle Sans fighting
force, evidently somewhat out of
keeping with local temperament. are
John F. Berteling, Ishpeming, Mich,
recently married, who has enlisted
in the officers reserve corps. giving
up a job that pays him $4,000 a
year. The other is Charles y. Ber-
telling. now on the staff of the Wis
consin highway commission, with
his headquarters at Green Bay,
Wis. Both are sons of DR.. and Mrs
]. 3. Berteling. Charles y. visited
his parents, 215 :. Taylor St, the
past week. returning TO wisconsin
Monday, where he plans to enlist in
the United States navy.
DR.. Berteling is of German des-
cent, but distinctly American, and
says he gladly makes this contribu-
ton TO the nations fighting power
Both boys are graduates of the local
high school. John +. is general sales
manager of the Sullivan Machinery
Co, of Ishpeming, and was married
in February. "None of this war
bride stuff 10 escape going 10 war,
is the expressed attitude of the Ber-
telling family. The bride of two
months is thoroughly reconciled to
her young husbands action. IF
there is going TO be any fighting
done by the Berteling family I am
going 10 do my share Of it," is the
way the Ishpeming man put it, to
which the Green Bay engineer re-
plies. But YOU needn't do mine"
DR.. Berteling has been a strong
advocate of preparedness since the
war broke out in Europe. believing
all the while that the United States
would eventually be drawn into it.
He was very much aggrieved at the
resignation Of Sec'y Garrison from
the war department, agreeing abso-
lutely with the eX-secretary i'm his
preparedness plans Il am not like
a lot Of these screechers for pre-
paredness. however" says the doc
tor. Il am ready TO back up my
doctrine with the bone and sinew Of
NY Aci1AAAANs AAtAD az my wv 10y -
They can have me, too, if they need
me, or will take me" His applica-
ton is on file for medical service,
though considerably past the enlist
ment age.
DR.. Berteling is anything but
pleased at the maner in which en-
listments have been proceeding in
South Bend; the slowness of il, and
calls attention to the fact that the
west side seems to be furnishing the
most of the recruits. As the names
appear in the paper, he points out
that the foreign accents are so clear
that there can be no mistake but
that the new Americans and the Off
spring Of the new American, are fur
nishing the most Of the recruits. He
rather sardonically puts it that our
native Americans,-of long stand
ing,-seem 10 be too busy getting
rich, or having a good time, 10 be
able 10 give much attention 10 ma
tional patriotism. such as the present
calls for
The doctor has also noticed that
throughout the city the more pro-
fuse display OF the American flag is
in the sO-called foreign districts
