"They had been collected from diff

provision put in the contract even that
the profits should be limited to not
more than one cent and finally to not

the government.
What Was Accomplished
"What was the result? There was
an audit made; there was an adjust
ment made and it was reduced to what
was thought to be half cent pound
Finally the contract was cancelled and
nothing was ever made.
"That is the condition as it has ac-
tually developed. The government has

Boo H: PRISONER TRIED
TO KILL BENEFACTOR
Wounded, He Drew Pistol on
American Officer.

With the American Army in the
Field, Oct 10.-An instance of cow
ardly treachery on the part of cap
fured German officer who had been
wounded and who had been offered
help by an American officer is told by
Lieutenant Edward Nichols, of Jamia
ca, N. Y.
After the last big drive of the allies
in August, Lieutenant Nichols was
placed in charge of company of SOL
diers whose task it was to clear the
field of American dead and wounded.
Although his duties did not require
him to aid the German wounded on
the field until the Americans were dis
posed of, Lieutenant Nichols, who is
only twenty-three years old, went to
the assistance of a German infantry
officer who seemed more than any Of
hos comrades to be in need of succor.
The lieutenant was in the act of
christening his canteen and giving the
wounded man a drink of water when
the German drew a revolver while the
unsuspecting Americans face was
turned, and aimed 1t at the head of
his reScuer.
Before he could pull the trigger,
however, a quick witted American ser
geant plunged his bayonet through the
Germans breast The Germans act
was condemned even by his captured
comrades.

NOTE CLEVER, SAYS LONDON
Diplomatic Circles View Presidents
Step as Logical.

London, Oct. 10.-In diplomatic Cir
cles in London President Wilson's re-
ply to the pe0ce proposals of the Ger
man chancellor, is regarded as clever
and logical.
1t is felt the president was wise in
refraining from fiat rejection. 1t
is considered he displays the same at
tituua of skepticism as do British and
continental statesmen concerning the
good faith of the German government
and desires satisfaction on this point
before taking further steps
1t is believed a satisfactory answer
to President Wilson's questions will
severely test Germany's good faith,
while an affirmative reply will mean
the acknowledgement of German de-
feat.
The acumen and logic of the Ameri-
can executive in framing the reply is
regarded by the diplomatists as char
acteristic.

Fall Of Cambria.
HUNS ARE IN RETREAT

Drive the Germans Back Eight Miles
in TW3 Day-The Huns Are Des-
perate.
London, Oct 10.-For all practical
purposes the allied troops now hold
the Cambrai-St Quentin railway.
The maximum advance i'll the Brit
iSh-American offensive was five miles
at Ecrtry. four miles southwest of lie
Catrau. This is an advance of eight
miles in two days at that point.
Bertry is eleven miles southeast of
Cambria, which is now in British
hands.
! The Standard says it learns that
the railroad town of Busigny, south
Of Bcrtry. has been captured.
| In Tuesdays attack between Cam
brai and st. Quentin the allied troops
made 1000 prisoners and captured
! 200 guns.
! The German retreat from the Scarpe
river southyard to below ST Quentin
enabled the British easily to advance
from TWO to three miles.
The Germans started backward
Tuesday night The British have met
with little resistance, as they have
not been in contact with the German
| main line.
The weather is bad, otherwise it is
believed that the British would have
advanced further.
The Germans are burning villages.
This retreat lengthens the line which
the Teutons have so long been trying
to shorten, and the situation opens
many possibilities Of retreats else
where.
In the American sector of this front
the Germans are resisting strongly.
The American losses however. have
not been heavy. The total American
casualties is less than nalf the num-
Der of Germans taken prisoner.
The Anglo-American advance pro-
ceeded behind an intense barrage fire
from the British artillery, which the
Germans seemed unable to withstand.
The Germans now have applied the
torch to the beautiful town of R0hain,
in the general direction Of which the
Americans are d/'ing from Fremont.
British gunners paid special attention
to roadSides and the areas between
the roads and the terrain was churn
ed by an avalanche of shells. In spite
of this. the advancing troops found
the roads in good condition.

There has been a desperate combat in
Walincourt, just to the north.
The Americans captured two bat

ammunition. They quickly turned the
guns on the fleeing Germans and fired
