Canada May Take

Ottawa May 16.--@Negottations for
government acquisition Of the Grand
Trunk railway ana the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway were announced in
the house Of conanons today by Pre-
n1ier Borden. The Grand Trunk Pa
cific, he declared, was q national en-
tsrpriss, ito which the credit OF the
Canadian people has been committed
and in my judgment it is expedient
to maintain It and not permit it to
60 into liquidation, The taking
over Of the Grand Trunk Pacific prac-
ticallY involved the taking over of
the Grand Trunk as well, he said.
During the summer, Sir Robert
added, q subcommittee OF the cabi-
net would be in London and he had
some reasonable hope" that when
parliament was again summoned the
government might be in position
10 place before It proposals which
would involve the constitution into
one system Of state owned railway,
all except the Canadian Pacific rail-
way.

ICATE HANDSOME MESSIAH LUTHERAN CHI
FIRST FRENCH WAR CROSS
WAS WON BYA C.. E. MEMBER

The first French war cross given to
an American soldier for bravery in
the field was won by a Christian En-
deavor boy, Robert c. Patterson, of
Huntington, Ind. Mr.. Patterson was
a lieutenant at the time the cross
was awarded to him, but later was
made captain. Daniel A. Polling, as
sociate president of the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, who has
returned from a three months visit
to England and France, brought this
war cross with him. Mr.. Polling states
that the reports of drunkenness in
the American Army in France are
utterly. false. Prohibition is the rule
and it is enforced. The morals of the
men are safeguarded infinitely better
than the morals of civilians at home.
Mr.. Polling was "gassed" during an
attack and was under fire while try
ing to bring in wounded man from
No Mans Land.
