The sensation experienced while

Captain Wilhelm, who is a member
OF a medical unit, sailed for France

Upon his arrival IN France, Captain
Wilhelm was assigned to ambulance

sion, located just south OF Vctduu.
Nitcr being stationed at various
points IN France, his company was
ordered TO advance on September %

WILSON'S WORDS
 CLEAR UP DOUBT
CALIFORNIA THROWS OVER IT'S LEADER, JOHNSON, AND
 RALLIES TO LEAGUE.
WEST GIVES HIM OvATION
All Doubtful Features of Pact Are Explained Away By President, and Former Doubters Hasten to Give
 Him Their Support.

(By Independent News Bureau, form erly Mt. Clemens News Bureau.)
 Aboard President Wilson's Special Train-A continuous ovation along the Pacific coast and then on his eastward way back toward the capital was given to President Wilson as he came toward the end of his month day1ong speaking tour in behalf of the League Of Nations. California, particularly the delightful city of Los Angeles, went wild in it's enthusiasm for him and his advocacy of the League, and it was in that state, perhaps, that he did his most successful missionary work. Hiram Johnson, California's former governor, now her United States sena- tor, and considered by her as the most likely Republican candidate for the presidency in 1920, had before the ar- rival of President Wilson, convinced a great number of citizens that the League as at present formulated was not good thing. He had told them that the United States, because of it, would be drawn into every petty European quarrel; he argued that we would lose our sovereignty by joining with the European nations. He had blamed the president for assenting to the possession by Japan of the Penin- sula of Shan Tung in China.
 But MT. Wilson, with clear logic ana with compelling eloquence, answered to the entire satisfaction of Califor- nias people every objection which Senator Johnson had made to the League And thousands of the states citizens deserted the Johnson stand ard immediately and rallied to the sup port of the president. More than that, they came forward and said, 'We were against you, MT. President, but hava cleared everything up and

 'Is it true. MT. Wallis, that the Penn sylvania shops are antiquated and may be abandoned SO far as new work is concerned ," MT. Wallis was asked.
 It is not true," he replied,
 Why was 1t necessary, then, for a committee to come here and plead that they be utilized for war work? There is genera1ly-he1d opinion in several Pennsylvania towns that there is a very definite purpose to hamper the govern ment and obstruct its measures for pro- scouting the war"
 That's all bosh," Mr. Wallis de- clarcd, with heat We constructed more than 300 locomotives at Altoona last year and that is tie departments limit"
 But these shops are operating but fraction of the time, whereas it is con- tended by good managers that they should operate three shifts daily, to re- duce overhead burdens"
 We are now making the cheapest and best locomotives i'll the WOrld"
 'What is the relative cost of locomo- tlVes built in your own plants and those built by private manufacturers ?" he was asked
 For type which has been adopted for general service, we pay private con- tractors approximately $6OOOO and build the same engine at Juniata for approxi- mately $38OOO"
 What is the relative efficiency of engines manufactured by you and pur- chased from private conCerns?"
 Ranking Juniata engines at 100, I should say that the engines which we purchase should be rated at 80. Not one of the engines manufactured in our own shops has exploded, while a num- Der of purchased engines have given way, sometimes with rather disastrous results"
