NOT WISHING THE YANK
ANY VERY HARD LUCK
(By United Press

London, Aug. 10. (By Mail.)--A
wounded dough boy in certain Eng
lish hospital finds visitors somewhat
trying. Nevertheless. his cloud has
at least one silver lining.
He wakes quite eloquent over En-
myntrude, the small hospital pantry
maid Her place really Is in the pam
try, and she and her black cat, Sir
Julian Byng. are not supposed to be
visiting the wards, yet they both
manage to evade the law regularly
every day. ~
Ermyntrude is adored of all the
men. With her green eyes, tip-tilted
nose, and golden brown hair more
often tousled than tidy, she keeps
them all merry with her unconscious
humor.
The American presented her with
fragment of shrapnel the other day.
Taken out of my side. that Was,,'
he explained impressively. "Out Of
my side-think of that, Ermyntrude.'
Ermyntrude regarded it stolidly.
II wish" she said thoughtfully,
at has been a German helmet!'

BRITISH PRESS SPURNS
AUSTRIAN PROPOSAL

London, Sept. 17.--Austro-Hu
gary,s invitation to the belligerents
to meet in informal peace discussion
is Indignantly rejected by the London
morning papers. The note is seen by
commentators as German trick in
which Austria is made the cats paw
in an .endeavor to gain time to enable
the German high command to reor-
ganize it's shattered troops, The offer
of peace to Belgium is regarded as
shameless insult. ~
One theory advanced is that the
peoples OF the Central empires really
want peace, but their governments
seek to sway them and embarrass the
Allies, thus lodging the howls of the
masses against continuing the war.
What benefit Austrial might have
obtained from the proposal undoubt-
edIy has been lessened by publication
of Germany's effort at a separate
peace with Belgium, which is self-evi-
dent of the Huns bad faith.

New York, Sept. 17.--The report
ed arrival of Gen. Gourko, formerly
commander of one of the Russian
armies on the eastern front, at Muir
man, brings to mind his conflict with
Kerensky, which resulted in MS exile
from Russia. Gen. Gourko, 1t IS an
nounced, has arrived at Murman from
the western front, and will take COM
1nand of the Allied operations against
the Finno-Germans and Bolshevikl IN
that region.
The revolution found Gourko In
command of one of the northern arm
les. The famous order No. l. pro-
claimed by the revolution to the
army, which abolished virtually all
rank distinctions, created most un-
welcome impression on Gourko-
Gourko's opinion was shared by many
Russian generals, among them Cen
erals Alexieff, Korni1off and others
The question was SO important that
it was decided to call a meeting OF
all big Russian generals at the Mar

TOO MUCH SPIRITS AND
NOT ENOUGH SPIRIT:
'PARSON' Is ARRESTED

Duluth, Sept. II His face sue
.cessfully camouflaged beneath a
heavy fall of very pastoral whiskers;
his breath reeking of most unpastoral
wIiskey, Rev Lewis Hanson, who
claims an abandoned church at Nine
teenth avenue west and First street
to be the temple at which he and his
flock worship, and of which he is the
pastor, was arrested by Chief Mcker-
cher and Patrolmen McKenney and
Fogelberg at the church building.
Charged with placing too much faith
in spirits, rather than spirit, as well
as for some other little delinquences,
which turned up when they were turn
ed in, Hanson and his flock were soon
en- route via the patrol wagon.
Half a dozen quart bottles OF whis-
ky, numerous poker chips and dirty
pack Of cards, besides boiling pot
holding $21.50 didn't seem to bear
out the pastors story when he ar
rived headquarters. He was seri-
ously suspected of leading his little
flock astray.

HIGH PRICE OF WOOD g.,
7. WILL BE INVESTIGATED

St. Paul Sept. 17.--Prices of fuel
wood in Minnesota are too high, and
If evidence to that effect is developed
at the special hearing before the State
Railroad and Warehouse commission,
Thursday, more just prices will be
fixed. Judge J. f. McGee, state fuel
administrator, announced.
Traffic Director j. H. Beck OF the
st. Paul Association said that the
greatest possible railroad rate reduc-
ton would only mean about 33 cents
a cord. .."
Price regulation is what is need
ed and judging from investigation al
ready made some folks are proiiteer-
ing" he added.
Association officials expressed the
fear that persons Of small means VIII
suffer unless the wood prices are low
cred and labor found to handle coal.
