British Canadian Recruiting Mission

British Canadian Recruiting Mission
 Pacific Coast Division.
 San Francisco, Calf, April 12. To the Editor:
 Sir:--
 On relinquishing my command of the Pacific coast division of the Brit ish and Canadian Recruiting Mission, I take this opportunity to thank you for your generous cooperation in giv- ing our mission publicity from time to time. The work done by your paper has been of inestimable value to our cause and I trust you will treat my successor, Captain F. L. Goord, with the same courtesy and consideration as you have accorded me. feel this is an opportune moment to speak an encouraging word in the face of what looks like disaster on the western front, and would say that either army at any time, if they are determined to break through line, can do so by concentrating a sufficient number of men, without regard to cost, and our victory is assured by the fact of the number of German lives it is costing to capture the small area they have been fighting for. A very good lesson is pointed out, if one will only learn, and that is that the strength of the Germans lies in their aptitude to follow the dictates of their government, without question.

THE HAWAIIAN" A STRIKING
 PICTURE OF GAINES NOVEL

This picture will be shown at the Orpheum Thursday, April 18th, mati- nee and night, as Red Cross bene- fit. The New York City press has the following to say about the pro- duction:
 "The Manxman", Hall Gaines fa- nous novel, had its first screen pres entation at the Criterion theatre last night, and ran such successful oppo- sition to hot weather that it kept a capacity audience literally bound to the chairs for two hours.
 "The Manxman" is an unqualified success. It is big, gripping picture, filled with the stern, grim characters with which Mir. Caine peopled his novel. From the point of photography and setting, it is as near perfect as the most enthusiastic picture fan could wish. When frequent applause greets scenes in which the only action is provided by drifting clouds, or angry waves breaking on the rugged Manx coast-scenes in which humans play no part-sufficient has been said of the pictures photographic merits.
 As for the cast, which is large much might be written. The charac- ters are as real as if MT. Caine him. self had suddenly discovered some where on the Isle of Man the men women and children he put in his

ONE HUNDRED AND ONE GERMAN LIES NAILED BY
 ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC

German propagandists have been busy since the entry of the United States into the war. Falsehoods of every character have been spread over every section of the country with the idea of abusing the confidence of the American people. So persistent has been the circulation of these careful ly moulded pro-German lies that an official exposure of them has been is- sued as a pamphlet, entitled "The Kaiserite in America" by the Com mittee on Public Information, 8 Jack. son Place, Washington, D. c. A copy of this pamphlet may be had free il inquiry will be directed to the com. mittee.
 German Counterfeiting.
 Tales have been current about in. termed German prisoners being feC five meals day, about Red Cross supplies being sold to shopkeepers by dishonest officials, by criminal waste of food at training camps and many other like falsehoods either designed to discourage volunteer Red Gross work and the loyal efforts of house. keepers to save food or calculated tc create troublesome distrust of the government.
 The circulation of these stories is often due to the folly of citizen who wishes to appear to have Inside in- formation" and who either innocently or intentionally starts lie that rapid ly grows worse as it spreads. A col lection of such lies and their refuta- tion has been made by the St. Louis Republic. A hundred of them are in- cluded in "The Kaiserite in America" "

permanent 1t will be dissoluble at any time at
the wish of either party, and If neither Of the

from it, the state will take charge of them and

But anger against the modern Prussian is not

easy for the Prussian to detach himself from the

When the first stories of atrocities in Belgium

incredulity. 1t was unbelievable that in the goth

DELAYS CAME AN H0UK;
 CHICAGO WINS
Players Call for Resdjust-
 ment of Their Share of Proceeds. Later They Play Game to Finish

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 10.-Big Jim Vaughn, the powerful left-handed pitcher of the Chicago Nationals, kept the Boston Americans out of the worlds championship today by win ming the fifth game of the series to 0, after the contest had been delayed for an hour by an unprecedented strike of the players of both teams for readjustment of their share of the pro- ceeds.
 When it seemed as if the players and the representatives of the national commission. Garry Hermann and Ban Johnson, were hopelessly deadlocked and the curtailed baseball year would fizzle out in a strike. Harry Hooper, the Red Sox captain, called the turn.
 Play For Game and Public.
 We will play" he said, acting as spokesman for both teams. mot be- cause we think we are getting fair deal: because we are not. But we'll play for the sake of the game for the sake of the public, which has always given us it's loyal support, and for the sake of the wounded soldiers and sailors who are in the grandstand wait ing for us" :.
 The players, even before the start of the series, had manifested dissatisfac- tion over the division of the money and this unrest has grown greatly as the games progressed, with small at tendances on the average for the first four contests, in which the players share the gate receipts. Both teams insisted that the winners had been guaranteed s2,000 apiece and the losers 1,400. But the sharp falling off in at tendance had made it unlikely that the players would get anywhere near this sum, according to their spokesmen, Captain Hooper of the Red Sox and | Leslie Mann for the Cubs.
