YANKEE WOUNDED
YEARN FOR u. S.
BEEF AND ONIONS
Unusual Spirit of Self Sacri-
flee Shown in Overseas
Hospital

With the Americans Near Soissone.,
July 25.-A truckload of fresh beef
went rushing up to certain hos
pital behind the front at the order of
an American general last night. The
general had visited a large number
of our wounded at noon, passing
from cot to cot inquiring:
We'll. boys. what can I do for
you?"
This is the answer got" he said
to-day, telling of the visit:
General. can't you get us some
good old beefsteak smothered in
onions. They want to keep feeding
us soup-and say, general. few
smokes wouldn't go bad"
Il know just how they feel. They're
going to get their beefsteak. onions
and smokes. They can have anything
they want from me; I like that
crowd"
Among several hundred wounded
the general had heard only three
complaints about treatment. The
doughboys are showing a wonderful
spirit of selfsacrifice. For example,
the doctors passed along one spot
where wounded lay stretched be-
meath trees; the doctors were pick
ing out the cases to be sent to the
rear.
"Take BILL" He Pleads
Don't take me, doc; take Piu
there. I'm not in bad shape. / can
stand it here a while" said a Penn
sylvanian.
Shut up, Shorty" answered Bill.
you go yourself. You're dying and
don't know it, and I'll knock what's
left of your blooming head off if you
say another word"
Another scene: 1t took place this
morning in a hospital farther in the
rear. where young Kentuckian lay
mortally wounded. Unable to speak,
he beckoned the nurse and made
signs indicating he was thirsty. She
brought him n glass of water. He
drank it. eagerly, then motioned her
to stoop near the side of his cot.
He patted her on the cheek, then
closed his eyes.
His heart had ceased beating.

Find Oregon Lake
Has No Bottom

Portland, ore.-A lake. known as
the Great Sunken Lake. is reported to
be the deepest lake in this country.
and perhaps in the whole world.
Located in the valley of the Cas-
cade Mountains. about seventy miles
north of Jacksonville. Ore. this lake,
which is about fifteen miles long and
iour miles wide, is so deep that its
depth cannot be measured.
1t is situated so far below the crest
OF the mountains that winds cannot
reach 1t. and its surface is like a
sheet of glass. 1t is sometimes called
the Lake OF Mystery"

WASHINGTON SEES
SAME OLD PEACE
TRAP OF TEUTONS
New Terms Seem More Fa-
vorable to Huns, Says
State Chief

Washington, July 25.-In the
peace suggestions which the Berlin
Norwaerts declares the German gov
ernment is about to advance to the
Entente and America through the
Spanish government, officials here
detect the German design. embodied
in some shape in almost every one
of the peace proposals which have
emanated from Berlin or Vienna.
to leave to a round table conference
the actual definition of peace terms.
President Wilson and Premiers
Lloyd George of Great Britain. and
Clemenceau. of France, have re-
corded themselves definitely that no
peace conference will be entered IN
to unless there has been an accept
ance by the Central Powers of the
exact terms upon which the con-
ference is to be conducted and of
the broad principles to govern the
negotiators.
President Wilson's definition of
the terms upon which America is
willing TO discuss peace has been ac-
cepted by all of the great Entente
Powers as representative of heir
own desires. Officials here point out
that Germany is quite we'll aware of
these conditions and consequently
they can only view this reported new
attempt At peace negotiations as an
other appeal TO the pacifist elements
In the Entente, and also as intended
to quiet the uneasy SocialiStic ele-
ments within the Central Powers
VINO are believed to be again in n
dangerous mood
Acting Secretary of State Polk said
the new terms seemed more favor
able 10 Germany than any that had
been made hitherto.
Germany's remuneration of lnyl
designs on western territory in con-
sideration of her retention of the
spoils she has wrung from Russia
and Rumania through the Brest- !
LitoVsk and Jassy treaties. il is also /
pointed out. is directly at variance I
with President Wilson's declaration, |
seconded by Great Britain. of his
firm intention to stand behind, Rus I,
sia.
Finally as further evidence ;nati
fhess, new peace suggestions are /
unacceptable, officials call attention 4
10 President Wilson's firm decla-a- /
ticn that the wrong done in France
~. low NalI tuSH the SEIZURE nN HeT- T
many of Alsace-Lorraine. and the
wrong done to Belgium in her en-
forced occupation by Germany must
be undone. Consequently officials
hold that these great issues can
Tot be left to any round table confer
ence.
II also is noted that Vorwaerfs
is not repl eseptative of the Ger
man government in any sense: rndt
Il is the Socialistic mouthpiece. and
that il would be the last among the
81 eat German papers to be in posi-
tion to set out the purposes of the

WITH THE AMERICANS ON
THE METZ FRONT, Sept. 18.-
President Wil-on's sharp reply TO
Austria clearly reflects the senu-
ments of the American army to-
wards peace negotiation. From
the highest generals to the lowest
doughboys the determination is to
whip the Germans soundly. The
only fear expressed since July is
that the Germans may escape a
whipping by some trick.
The Austrian proposal is regard
ed {, such a crook-the first squeal
from the Central Powers diplo-
mats, the same as German
squeals when he faces a bayonet
The American soldier is determ.n-
er to get on German soil. In other
words the army spirit IS to fight tc
knockout.

MAYOR WILL
PONDER THE QUESTION
In Other Words, He Cant
Decide Just Now What to
Do With Blue Sky Law.

Mayor Dan Brown today went into
sort Of executive seance to determine
what his vote shall be regarding the
blue-sky ordinance which caused a to
tie vote Of the council last evening.
Put up to the mayor to cast the de-
Gliding vote Mr. Brown asked for time
and by common consent of the council
the request was granted. The blue-sky
ordinance is one that compels out-of-
town stock selling enterprises and kin
dred Wallingfords to submit their prop
ositions to the county council of de-
fense and the mayor and secure permits
before jipping the natives. The objec-
tion has been raised that the ordinance
would compel magazine and book agents
to go to the trouble of getting permits
before canvassing the town.
The ordinance TO grant the board %
works authority TO purchase a site and
erect a sewa &c pumping station at Calu-
met avenue and the Calumet river was
postponed for two weeks. II is under
stood the board has another plan in
mind.
The ordinance prohibiting street car
conductors and taxicab drivers to haul
drunks was referred TO the city attorney
for his opinion as to whether 1t con-
ficted with any state law.
