CHINESE TROOPS
 CAUSE SURPRISE
 ON WAY ID LINE
Residents of England Not Aware That Oriental Troops Were
 Helping Allies.

Although close to the fighting line, residents of England, generally speaking, know little of what is talk ing place in France and along the French and Flanders battlefronts. They are aware perhaps, that the Allied forces are composed of a var iety of nationalities, but it is doubt full of many Englishmen, or Ameri- cans, either, for that matter, can name the different kinds of fighting units.
 It was not known, for instance, in England, that Chinese troops were being sent to the French front, and the unheralded arrival of many trainloads of the Chinks caused great surprise among the residents of the English towns through which the trains passed enroute to their port of embarkation.
 This information was received by w. A. Coghill, in a letter arriving from the old country on the last mail. The writer mentioned the ar rival of several trainloads of the Chinks at Bury Port, apparently fully equipped to take their places in the Allied lines. The number of troops was not disclosed, but the letter in dicated that the soldiers represented a considerable force.
 Another letter received by MT. Coghill told of the escape of cousin, Arthur Bromage, from a British naval vessel which had been torpedoed by the Germans in the North Sea. He was on life raft for three days and was finally res cued by French boat and returned to England. He is midshipman.

DRINK PROHIBITED
 Al THE FRONT

When our boys get lover there" many of them will be quartered in French homes. They will immedi- ately confronted with the problem of French wines, and on this prob lem Colonel Azan, French officer now in this country to train ce- cruits, has this to say in the Survey "The idea that our French wines, ranging from 10 to 23 per cent of alcohol, are harmless, is worse than nonsense. I have been at the front for months now, and have had my men drunk again and again from drink known as our light French wines. The fact is, men are not satisfied with a thimbleful of wine. They drink one bottle, two bottles = before you know it they have rea'y drunk as much alcohol as when they take whiskey; and the result is the me-drunkenness.
 "I tell you, drunkenness at the front is an abomination, and if you want to prevent it you have got to stop wine drinking just as much as distilled liquor drinking"
 The soldier strongly advises the American soldier to say to his French host: My ommander-in-chief has forbidden me to drink anything while in France" The French have a strong regard for discipline, and vii ! respect that attitude, and after a bit the abstinence of the American will be understood, and wine will not be offered.
 While the rum ration" is still given to men before they go Cover the top", Colonel Azan doubts the practical value of this also An arti- ficial courage is temporary evoked by the rum; but the men who do not drink it generally take greater precautions and have better chance of coming through alive

Learn to Concentrate.

Concentration is the secret Of cor

attention is divided. The young people
who are going into business should
never allow their minds to wander. Do
not read a story and take part in the

do not enjoy the lecture you are at.
tending, listen to it as If 1t were the
most fascinating theme in the world.
Whether the thing you are doing is Inn

Importance that you should learn to pin
down your attention and hold it un-
swervlngly.

REC0UNTING BALLOTS.

The recount of certain precincts OF
the city on the office of county treas
urer by the county board of canvass
ers began last week on the petition OF
Charles Stretch, Democrat, who on the
face of the returns had been defeated
by Meyer, Socialist, by three votes.
The recount of three wards cut
Meyers lead to one. The Fourth ward
gave Stretch gain of three more and
put the Democrat two in the lead.
Then a snag was run into. The Fifth
ward bag was opened and it was found
that the election board in this Social
list stronghold had returned only about
two-thirds of the ballots. Over 100
were missing. The missing ballots in
cluded all the straight votes and IA
split ballots 1t was manifestly use
less to count a part OF the ballots
when the poll books and tally sheets
showed over 100 votes missing. The
Fifth ward board were brought in and
they were returned. Everything in
cluding the piece of sealing wax and
lead pencils With only one ward to
count, Meyer who had gone behind,
took the initiative on Monday and pc
titioned for a recount of six more pre-
eincts. They will probably get the
whole thirty-two recuunted before
some one is convinced he is beaten.
Baruth, the Republican incumbent OF
the office takes a purely academic and
detached interest The loss of the bal
lots will porbably result only in the
inspectors certificate of the count be-
ing taken as final.
Monday, John Lorfeld, Republican,
defeated by for assemblyman of the
First district by George Rathsack, So
cialist, on the face of the returns filed
his petition for a recount of the four
South side wards.
Tuesday morning most Of the miss.
iIs ballots turned up having been
found in the 5th ward school base
ment. About 25 were still missing
and those found had been lying around
unSealed for three weeks and were in
consequences waste paper so far as
counting as .llots were concerned.
Monday night, Sire ch was two votes
in the lead for County Treasurer
Tuesday the town of Cato returns
were found tc lie way off, Everybody
gained there but Stretch gained four
putting him SIX to the good Tuesday
noon. Tuesday afternoon The recount
was begun on assemblyman. The first
ana third wards we're counted with the
result that from being two behind
Rathsack (sccialst), Lcrfeld (Rep1
forged two ahead by Tuesday evening.
On account of tomorrow being
Thanksgiving day we go to press this
"Wednesday afternoon. At the time
of closing the forms Stretch was 6
votes ahead Of Meyer for county treas
urer but the recount may be continued
further. Lorield has lead of 3 votes
over Rathsacl for assemblyman in the
first district but there are three pre-
cincts still to be counted 1t now looks
as if Stretch and Lorleld will win on
the recount
