SOLDIER
IS FOUND FAK|R
"WOUNDED POILU" HAD REEN
VICTIM OF RAILWAY
ACCIDENT

PARIS, Aug. g.. - The heroic
exploits and hair-breadth escapes OF
D'Artagnan as narrated by Dumas
in THE Three Muskateers" fade
into comparative insignificance when
compared with the achievements of
Rene Bertrand as told by himself.
Minus n arm and a leg, with
nine medals %glittering on his breast,
and asserting that his body bore
more than 80 bullet and bayonet
wounds, Private Rene Bertrand OF
the French colonial infantry posed
in Paris as the greatest hero of the
war.
Now he has been arrested as per-
haps n of the wars greatest fax
IRIS and the police authorities de-
clare that he lost his leg and arm
in a railway accident and that five
imprisonments instead of five cita-
tons compose his record.
1t was the publication of Bet
rand's photograph in a French news
paper that led to his undoing.
Meanwhile, while %reveling in the
fruits of his own romance, Bertrand
enjoyed the confidence of army Off
GERS and the credit OF the leading
Paris cafes.
One famous and fearless aviator
made Private Bertrand his godso
and adopted" him for the balance
of the war.

Growing of tobacco in a region of

Thirty miles from juneau, on a

feet high and have leaves 80 inch

MUNRO BROWN AND ISAAC BAIR
WRITE TO
ELKS

In a letter received by the Gold
field lodge of Elks from Lieutenant
S. Brown, now with the
army ordnance department in
France, he has the following to a
regarding the American army:
81 have never seer a finer lot of
young men than are in Uncle Sans
uniform over here and every one
of you can we'll afford to be proud
of them.
81 very much prefer being on this
side of the front line with them
than on the other side against
them"
Lieutenant Brown says that in
his travels he has been seeing new
sights and doing new and interest
ing things. Since leaving here he
has been in Washington and New
York and, on the other side, has
spent two months in the vicinity Of
Paris. He says: 81 have thor
ougly enjoyed myself from the be-
ginning. We always get the very
best in the land and the French
people cannot do enough for u.s."
The Elks' lodge also has receiv-
ed a letter from Sergeant Isaac
Bair, now in France with the army
reserves personnel. In his letter
Bair says "Well, here I am, safe.
sound and happy, but I cannot tell
you where I am, for I really do not
know myself.
1.-The country around here Is
beautiful, but we are given little
time to admire the landscape, as
there is no such thing as Sundays
or holidays, and most of the time
there is little difference between
night and day. for 1t is work all
the time.
81 would not miss the education
and experience for anything and the
boy or man who should enlist and
fails to do so will be ashamed to
face his fellow man when the fight
is over"
Sergeant Bair says in the letter.

that will give me food for thought
for the next so years. I consider
the grandest sight in the world to

most damnable lot of hounds and

Passes Bill for Wartime Pro-

GOES TO CONFERENCE
Senate Has Already Passed Similar
Measure and c~onferees VIII Ad-
Just Differences as Soon
as Possible.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The House
approved national prohibition, effec-
tive mex July 1, by adopting, I'll to
"a, the Senate prohibition rider to the
$12, 600, 900 emergency agricultural ap-
preparation bill.
The measure now will be sent to
conference for adjustment of differ.
ences between the two houses on ap
preparation items.
Amendments All Defeated.
All efforts to amend the legislation
were defeated. A proposal by Repre-
sentative Kahn of California, Repub.
lican, to extend the effective date for
prohibiting the sale of wine and beer
to Dec. 81, 1919, was defeated, 112 to
81, as was one by Representative
Beshlin Of Pennsylvania, Democrat. to
change the date for stopping the man
ufacturing of beer and wine from next
May / to Dec. l, 1919.
After voting In the committee of
the whole to accept an amendment
permitting the importation of wine un-
til next May /, the House later re-
versed it's decision and by a vote Of
121 to SO retained the original Senate
provision that importation of wine
must cease when the measure becomes
effective upon its signature by the
President. The amendment was ap-
proved by the House Agriculture com
mittee to meet an objection by the
governments of France, Italy, Spain
and Portugal.
Four other amendments, two of
which sought to have the government
pay for the liquor unsold when pro-
hibition becomes effective, also were
rejected.
Representative Gordon of Ohio pro
posed that the internal revenue bu-
e "a be authorized to make the pay
ment, but was ruled out of order, as
was a subsequent proposal by Repre-
. fund of $3.50, 0o0, 900 for the same
purpose.
Other Changes Defeated.
The other amendments voted down
were by Representative Igo of Mis-
souri,, who sought to limit prohibition
to the declaration Of peace instead of
the rehabilitation of the army and by
Representative Cannon OF Illinois, who
tried to have stricken put the provi,
sion. recently enacted into law, author
izing the President to establish dry
zones about mines, munition plants
and other factories.
Debate on the bill was enlivened by
q clash between Representatives
Meeker and Decker, both of Missouri

RApS UNITED STATES
American Government Is Referred to
as Having Acted Improperly In

Amsterdam, Sept. 25.-Baron Won
Burian, Austro-Hungarian foreign min
lister, in an interview given to a Der.
lin newspaper, said he was not sur.
prised at the reception of his peace
note, naturally he did not suppose that
the Allies would at once declare
readiness to enter into peace ~negotia-
lions.
I'm a situation like the present"
continued the minister, 1T is some
times necessary to clarity things gy
means of reagents. The note was such
a re-agent. 1t has already produced
remarkable phenomena and will do SO
still more in the near future.
"Quick Answer Extraordinary"
Very extraordinary, for instance,
was the remarkable rapidity of Presi-
dent Wilson's reply. Clearly Presi-
dent Wilson wanted to anticipate the
other governments. He always had
the ambition to be a world arbiter and
has not abandoned that ambition since
a result of the U-boat warfare. Hence
he set out his IA points, and, in addi-
ton, twice four, that is, altogether,
%, which are to be authoritative for
the new arrangement of the world.

ulates for example, the treatment of
Colombia and the seizure OF Texas.
But, after all, large regions were
thereby opened to civilization. will
only say that it does not do to be al
ways contrasting our actions with the
views expressed by President Wilson's
points"
Baron Burian attributed President
Wilson's haste in replying to his de-
sire to prevent an agreement between
Great Britain and France. He de-
clared that it would serve no purpose
to reply to speeches like Mr.. Balfour's
and Premier Clemenceau's. With re-
gard to the date of dispatching the
note, he said:
Agreement With Germany.
There was complete agreement be.
tween us and Germany. There were
certain divergences of opinion but they
did not concern the date of dispatch.
I'VE do not want to reproach our
selves later with having neglected any
thing. The note has had the subsidiary
effect of dragging into the light of day
the situation in the opposing camp and
its will not prevent me
from further following the road en-
tered upon. We shall take the next
step when the time seems suitable and
always in the fullest accord with
our allies.s'
