FIGHT TO DEATH ORDER
is MERELY FOLLOWED
OFFICERS EXPLANATION
By Don f. Chamberlain

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-"We had
orders to fight to the death. We
merely followed orders"
This was the terse explanation here
today by Lieut.. Gen. Baron Jacques,
comma nder of the Third Belgian
Army division, and who fought at
Liege. Antwerp, on the famous vic
tory of a single Belgian brigade of in
fantry which stopped the Germans at
Dixmude in October. 1914.
Prom October 19 to 26 We fought
and held them without budging an
inch" jacques told the United Press.
The Germans were advancing. The
fighting was very. very hot. 1t was
an inferno all the time. I was wound
ed twice. More bodies were strewn
over the ground than there were eff
fctives.
The Germans were resolutely, mad
Iy charging. charging, morning, noon
and night. We had to keep our finger
on the trigger all the time. We
could't get forward even to relieve
our outpcsts. all of which but one
held. This one had its men wiped out.
We couldn't even succor our wounded,
"But in those seven days we held
every finch of ground and stopped the
German onrush. Finally after the
rattle we retired to the south side OF
the river. The Germans didn't enter
Diymude until November.
1--WE simply had been ordered to
fight to the death. We merely fol-
lowed orders.
"As an example of the terrific
strain we were under: On the night
of the 25th. a German battalion fore
ed its way through Dixmude to the
south bank of the river in our rear

ficers were killed because their lights
gave the Germans a target to shoot
at. throughout the night we heard
the Germans in our rear singing,
shooting, and Killing. In front of us
they were constantly charging cur

but our morale held. The Ger
mans finally stopped and the battle
was ours. The German battolion
which had forced its way
through our lines never returned.

ARMENIAN WOMEN
BUILD GOOD ROADS

MARASH, Mesopotamia Oct. 2S.-
One hundred miles of stone roads and
several reconstructed steel bridges are
among the permanent monuments that
America will leave in this part of the
Near East.
When the Red Cross arrived here
it found that the condition of the
highways would hamper its relief op-
erations among the refugee Armenians
in this district. SO. it set about to re-
build stretches of roads between Ain
taub, Aleppo and Marash.
Capt Edward Bickel of Seattle.
Washington. was placed in charge of
the engineering work. He had to
overcome difficulties which would
have halted many contractors of pub
lie works in America. There was no
male labor. materials were scarce,
and small hurros and camels were the
only means of transport.
He settled the labor question by hir-
ing Armenian women who were glad
to have employment of any kind.
There were 500 Armenian women on
the payroll of the Red Cross in this
road building work. Materials were
attained from abandoned homes which
had been partly demolished during the
war. Conveys of mountain burros
and camels were hired to transport the
material.
In less than four months this fe-
male labor and ancient transport, un-
der American direction. had recon-
100 miles of roads, rebuilt
several ruined bridges over tributar-
les of the Euphrates river, and made
poSSible the speedy distribution of Red
Cross supplies in this district.

DEMOCRACY COMES
HIGH IN GERMANY Y

BERLIN Oct 2S-Democracy
comes fairly high in Germany While
she has no campaign expense laws
like America, she is already learning
that elections are costly as evidenced
by compilation of the costs for the
national assembly and Prussian land
assembly elections some months back.
The expense against the government
was more than 100000 marks, while
to the parties involved the expense
was more than 100000 marks.
These expenses are likely to be vast
ly increased when the elections for
the Reichstag occur. So far no defi-
mite dates have been set for these. but
the present regime is striving hard to
get the elections postponed to next
on the theory that elections this fan
or winter would only make for fresh
unrest.
Both the right and the left are
massing funds, however, so as to make
II strong campangn against the mod
crate regime, and the new tests will
furnish one of the bitterest cam
paigns ever waged in Europe.

Automobile Law.

AS a result Of the recent letters
sent out by the state highway
commission to city, county and
state officers, with reference to
the automobile law of 1917, it is
expected that in all parts of the
state officers will watch more
carefully to see that there are no
violations. This act is different
from nearly all statutes enacted
by the general assembly, in that
there is a clause which reads:
THAT each and every one of the
officers herein named who shall
neglect or refuse to carry out the
duties imposed by this act shall
be liable on his official bond for
such neglect or refusal as provid-
ed by law Unlike cases."
Not only does the act, chapter
14O, public laws of 1917, make it
unlawful for auto owners to use
a motor vehicle on the streets or
highways without having a metal
strip with the registered number
placed thereon at both front and
rear of the machine, but it makes
it unlawful for an owner to have

Now that the canning season is
opening up, would like to say a
few words in regard to canning.
Many enthusiastic Gamers
have been much disturbed blythe
water shrinkage in jars of beans,
berries, peas and other vegeta-
bles after they have been cooked.
This is due to the fact that these
vegetables contain air in their
pods and when this air is driven
off by the heat, the boiling water
rushes in to take its place. In
consequence we have an ap-
parent shrinkage of water. To
remedy this the top may be re-
moved from the jar just ten min
utes before it is to be taken from
the Gamer and boiling water
may be added until the jar is
quite full. Replace the lid and
let jar remain in Gamer ten
minutes longer.

ton of the law is intended to en-
able the officers to see that every

one number is lost, an additional
one will be furnished, two being
required to prevent persons from
