PRESIDENT SAVES
LIVES OF TEN men

President Wilson has eommutsd TO
life imprisonment the death sentences
imposed on ten negroes who took
part In the Houston riots" . year
ago.
The second eourt-martial resulted
in death sentences being given six
teen men, Six OF these men. on the
face OF the evidence presented, were
found guilty, and the President did
not revoke their sentence.
Thirteen men were previously ex-
ecuted as the result Of the nrst court
martial.
In commenting on the case the
President said:
II commute the remaining sentences
because believe the lesson Of this
lawless riot will have been adequate
" pointed out BY the action already
taken and also because desire the
clemency here ordered to be a recoS-
milton OF the splendid loyalty OF the
race to which these soldiers belong

out OF office and which 10 always

ent Terauchi cabinet.
It says, according to another Tokyo
cable message, that the Terauchi
cabinet will resign Immediately az
ter the settlement of the present rice
riots, shouldering the responsibility
for the disturbance. The reason for
the resignation Is that It has been
unable to prevent the riots by taking
such precautionary measures as
would have been effective.
The Emperor contributed out of his
own private funds about 1850, 900
for the relief OF the poor. The rich
people followed the high example.
Both the Mitsui and IwasaEi families
have contributed 1000, 900 yen each
and other private contributions for
the relief are reported to amount to
about 10000. 900 yen. These sums, in
addition to the governmental appro-
priation of 10000, 900 yen, are report
ed to be enough to meet the crisis
until the appearance of the new rice.

TROOPS INSPIRED %
BY NEW TR|UMPHS

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Sept. 5.-An unmistaxable
atmosphere Of victory pervades the
Somme battlefield. 1t wasn't neces-
sary today to hear the triumphant
band along the roads to catch the
spirit animating the army. The exul-
tant squeal of the bagpipe seemed
to epitomiZe all the unexpressed
feelings OF the men.
1t was necessary only to see the
faces of the marching troops to note
the easy swing OF their stride,
whether going up to or coming from
the firing line, to know which army
was pushing on to victory.
Whether tired or fresh, British
troops, when they march, always
carry the conviction that they are
an undefeated army, but now one
sees that they are not merely an un-
Defeated army, but a winning army
One wonders whence British pro-
duced the rejuvenated battalions
looking as good as the best ever sent
aield. The period of rest preceding
the present offensive partly accounts
for it. But now the tide OF war
surely accounts for much of the new
enthusiasm. The British veterans
look as young and eager as the
Americans whom they meet banter
ingly on the road.
Contrasting with this, authenti-
Gated instances of a reverse spirit
among the enemy troops accumulate
daily.

something Of this kind there win be

Since that time the section Of the
War Labor Board handling wage
problems presented by employees Of
street railways has set q high stand

has been powerless to order higher
rates for service, so that the addi-
tional expenditures might be met by
