GEORG ETOWN. BRITISH GUIANA.
September 2I.-Amcricans who visit
British Guiana and the British pos
sessions in the West Indies in these
days or the great war receive Il very
warm welcome. and are accorded the
most hospitable treatment. This kim,
OF reception is in strong contrast with
that which awaited travellers from tho
Snited states in the days before prcsi-
dent Wilson sent his famous message
TO Congress and arraycd the strength
OF america against Germany. Tho
English OF these possessions were very
emily In their attitude toward Ameri
cans then. and they were quite frank
IN expressing their opinions of the
United states and it's position as :.
neutral. The average Englishman au-
nireS america very much. He regards
II as the country nearest To EnSlan nd
or all the nations OF the world. The
American. the Englishman wishes to
believe. is his brother, Therefore he
has always thought that America
should be fighting side by side with

America was the only nation that
could supply them with most or the
goods they needed. since England wa

Real Problem =,
Handling Crop

ST. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 5.-The big
gest crop in the history OF the north
west will be moved this fall, accord
ing to w: P. Kenney, federal manager
Of the Great Northern railroad, who
has just returned from a two weeks
trip over the Northwest.
"A crop far beyond the widest cal
culations," said Mr.. Kenney, is 60
ing to sweep the Northwest off it's
feet unless real preparations are
made ..
THE most patriotic thing possible
for one to do at this time in the
Northwest is to get his coal in now.
Every ton of coal that is got out of
the way now makes that much more
room and that much greater facilities
to handle the greatest crop.
~ have been over the territory in
Minnesota, North Dakota and Mon
tana and have the best Of reports
from South Dakota. There never has
been anything like what is coming
from these states.
ION account of fixed prices for
many commodities farmers will not
hold grain but will ship it. Already
grain is moving in Minnesota and
North Dakota, and if we are to get
the. best results for ourselves and our
Allies we have got to help the trans
portation systems now. ..

WEDDING THEM OUT.

Patriotism is rapidly being eliminated
as a factor in politics, for the simple rea-
son that none but 100 per cent Americans
will have any chance Of election in future,
if recent election results are any criterion.
Provided Illinois can hand Mayor
Thompson of Chicago what he so richly de.
serves next week, and nominate Congress,
man Medill Mccormick for the senate
there will be almost a clean sweep of the
pacifists and war obstructionists.

the war, Senator Stone of Missouri and
Senator Lane of Oregon have died The

Senator Vardaman was defeated for re-
nomination by big majority. North Da-a

sUNsTRoKE.

What do you do in case of sum
stroke and heat exhaustion is the
burning" question of the hour.
Sunstroke is an unconscious con-
dition due to excessive exposure to
the hot sun.
When a person whether indoors
or out, has been overcome with the
heat it is called the heat exhaus-
ton" 49,.
The first symptom of sunstroke
may be called an "allgone feeling"
in the abdomen. There may also be
nausea, weakness and faintness.
In sunstroke the skin is hot and
dry, perspiration having ceased. The
eyes become blood shot, the pulse
rapid and weak. Very often it. can
not be felt at the wrist. The breath
ing is shallow and when the patient
becomes unconscious the pupils of
the eyes are contracted and there is
q temperature frequently as high as
10. >7
To get the patient cooled is the
first treatment. Place in a shady
spot if possible, remove clothing.
Then pour water on him. 1t is best
to begin pouring at the head and go
down the body. Continue this treat
ment until the patient regains con-
seriousness.
The symptoms of heat exhaus-
ton are: paleness, clammy skin. ra-
pid pulse and lowered temperature.
To revive the victim Of heat ex-
haustion get him under a current of
cool air and then give stimulant
A teaspoon of aromatic spirits of

do for this purpose. ~.

THE GROWN PRINCES CONVERSION.

THE CROWN PRINCES CONVERSION.
Does Mr.. Frederick Wilhelm HohenZol-
Tern aspire to be the candidate of the Pa
cifist party for first president Of the new
German Republic7
Mr. Hohenzollern, otherwise the Crown
Prince of Germany, was quoted yesterday
in an interview given Buda Pest paper, TO
the effect that he was not fire cate"
and that all he had hoped for since Eng
land entered the war was successful de-
Tense of the Fatherland.
The German people must have a very
lively recollection of the Grown Prince s
rafting of the sabre prior to 1914 of his
espousal of the military party and his open
break with his father on the subject of
Germany's war policy. He has always
been the hero of the younger junkers.
Either the trimming he received in the
Marine salient has had very wholesome
effect, or he has decided that the way to
popularity in Germany now lies along the
paths of peace
In any event, his views on the subject
of peacs are about as important now as the
platform Of Republican candidate for
congress in Alabama Frederick Wilhelm
is going to be told when he can have peace
and on what terms.

The world S series
Can you recall the time when you were
willing to travel 1000 to 1000 miles and
pay a fabulous sum to ticket spectators
to witness it7
But there is bigger world s series in
progress across the water this year.
1t is a safe bet that, without consulting
the sport page, not one man in ten could
give you the probable batteries of either
team. Two years ago, nine men out of ten
could have reeled off the batting order, and
the fielding and batting averages Of every
player.
Importance is only relative.

THIS WAS TO BE GERMANY s YEAR

Two months ago, when the Germans were
at the height of their offensive, it would
have been considered hopeless optimism to
predict that the enemy would be thrown
back to the Hindenburg line by September
IL, yet that will be accomplished and more,
if the Allies can continue their present rate
of progress for another week.
It was not believed then that the Allies
would strike before September J. and it was
not expected that the blow would be a
major offensive destined to clear France Of
the invader.
Next year was looked forward to as the
Allies year. This was to be Germany's.
Yet here the Germans are fighting to
keep their last ind portant defense line in
France from crumbling, and their news
papers are preparing the German people
for retreat to the Rhine. Moreover, two
to three months of good fighting weather
remain.
The Allied armies will have done all that
was expected of them this year if they
drive the Germans to the Hindenburg line
They will have done far more than any
body outside of army circles hoped, if they
drive the Germans out of France.
If there is a possible chance of decisive
victory this year, the best way to increase
it is to continue piing up All overwhelming
weight of men, supplies and munitions for
the 1919 campaign. America must plan on
ending the war next year with victory and
let Pershing and Foch and his aides do the
planning for the 1913 victory if it is on the
cards.
