WINNIPEG WILL BE CUT OFF FROM TIE
 WORLD NOON TODAY
[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wire1

WINNIPEG, Man, May 16-Union telegraphers of Winnipeg voted here this evening to join the general strike at noon tomorrow. Press, broker and commercial operators are all affected This means that Winnipeg will be iso- lated from the rest of the dominion by telegraph, telephone and mail.
 Members of the general strike com mittee announced tonight that the ac- t1on of the telegraphers brought the to- tai number of Winnipeg unions on strike, or ready to walk out when the general committee orders, to eighty. Several unions which voted to join the general movement, have not been called out as yet.
 The deadlock between union labor in Winnipeg and leading industrial em- ployers, who refused to recognize the unions, continued today, and although it was known that the general strike which began yesterday morning, was receiving the attention of federal, pro- vincial and local officials, there were no signs tonight of any approach to- ward a settlement
 The postal tieup and the walkout of employees in several railroad depart ments brought the situation to the floor of the house of commons at Ot- tawa today. A dispatch received from Ottawa by the Canadian Press said the following statement was made in the house this afternoon by A. K. Mclean, minister without portfolio:
 "The minister of labor has been closely in touch with the situation at Winnipeg, during the past ten days, and he is being advised from moment to moment. He is ready at all times to do anything he can in the circum- stances"
 Government to Cooperate
 This statement was construed here to mean that the government was Will ing to cooperate in any movement to arbitrate the differences which caused the Winnipeg building and metal trades union members to strike, and which was followed by the general walkout yesterday, which at present involves more than sixty unions and | 30,000 members. Premier T. c. Norris and Mayor Charles Gray of Winnipeg, who tried to conciliate the opposing factions this week, failed to get the employers and the men together. 1 Brigadier General H. D. B. Ketchen, commanding officer of military district No. 1, which embraces the dominion territory from Port Arthur, Ontario, and west to the Saskatchewan border announced today that the Decoration Day parade, set for Sunday, has been postponed. He said that "all the troops in the city have been detailed for duty
 Publishers of daily newspapers de- cided today to suspend publication temporarily. Editorial staffs were kept on duty, however, and reports from ev- cry section of the city indicated that nc serious disturbances has taken place since the strike began. A few argu- ments today received attention from the police, but no arrests resulted.
 Because of labor unrest in other Ga nadian provinces, such as British Co lumbia, the outcome of the Winnipeg strike is being closely watched, and it is understood the government is con- stantly advised. Hundreds or the men on strike are released soldiers.

.ELKS TO RAISE. S25,000 FUR THE
 SALVATION ARMY
Big Brotherhood And Big Welfare Organization Get Together - SalvatiOn a Army Peace Work Has Large Program

The Elks are going to raise s25, ,OOo for the use of the local Salvauon Army" said A. Guy Allsap, the exalted ruler, last night. Tt will be the most popular subscription ever asked in this community, Everyone who has talked to a returned soldier has heard from an inside source of the great work they did in France, and they were able to do it because they had the organiZa- tion and knew how to give service They have been doing wonders in Phoenix for years, but few people know about their work here. They work quietly, but efficiently. The Blks are proud to help them toward a greater service"
 At the Arizona club yesterday even ing the Elks committee met Dr. Fletcher Humphrey, in charge of the campaign here, and Commander John Shearer in charge of the local com pany.
 Those present from the Elks lodge were the exalted ruler, A. Guy Allsap, Gene Cunningham, Hal Prince, W. R. Wayland, Ed O'MaIley, L. W, Peters, Joe c. Haldiman, A W. Crane, Charles J. Gaupp, G. Waldrop, F. A. Betts, Julian A. Gang, Oliver King, Charles A. Sheldon, c. s. Norman, Ned Creigh- ton and R A. Saufley.
 Fifteen of these men will be cap- tains of 15 teams of six men each. Every person in the community has been listed on a prospect card, and rated at what he can afford to give 10 this worthy cause, and no one will be neglected.
 The campaign will be from May 26 to 31, inclusive, and the Elks are going out and get it.
 The Why Of It
 For many years," said Dr. Hum phrey, "the Salvation Army has been doing social relief work of the highest order, without fuss, but getting results all the time. They have made good in the army in France because they already had the organization. But ir this country it has always been neces- sary to waste a large amount of time in securing funds that might better be devoted to social service. Hence the plan to raise the funds in this drive and thus free these efficient workers and enable them to do still better and broader work"
 Gene Cunningham, who has just re- turned from service in France, spoke teelingly of the work done by the Sal vation Army for the boys "over there Nothing could give greater pleasure 10 the men who are still in France thar to hear that the people in this country are helping the Salvation Army" saiC MT. Cunningham. "Over in France have seen whole lines of men after pay day go down to the Salvation Army and get a cup of chocolate and z doughnut and lay down dollar. as 2 free will offering, when they could buy the same thing right across the way for franc and a half"
 Another returned soldier recently stated that his work did not take hin to the front, and consequently he die not see much of the Salvation Army for they were all up there, but h, heard about them favorably from every man he talked to who had seen iron line service.

CAPT. MATLOCK
HAD TOHURRY
TO SAVE LIVES
Bandits Planned to Kill Him
and Lost Aviator After
Ransom Paid.

Maria, Aug. 2l.-If Capt. Leonard
M. Matlack had not spurred his
horse, carrying Lieut.. Paul H
Davis On behind and made a dash
for the border last Tuesday morn
ing when the avaitors' ransom was
paid, there is little doubt but that
he and Lieutenant Davis would have
been killed by the Mexican bandits.
This developed here tonight when
Captain Matlack arrived from the
punitive expedition and reported to
General Dickman and Colonel Lang
horne the reason he escaped from
the bandits without paying the ram
som. Captain Matlack said that
while waiting for Jesus Renteria' S
men to bring Davis to the appointed
place under the old tree for the
exchange of the ransom for the
prisoners, he heard two Mexicans
slipping through cornheld to-
ward the river and overheard one
bandit say in Spanish to the other:
"We will slip around between
him (Matlack) and the river and
kill him"
Hearing this Matlack told Davis
to jump on his horse behind him
and made a dash for the line.
Upon hearing Captain Matlack's S
version of why the full ransom was
not paid, General Dickman, who
announced in San Antonio that he
would insist that the full amount
demanded be paid, said:
Il still think the money should
have been paid in full because the
government is too big to break
its word with anyone. But Captain
Matlack's story put an entirely diff
ferent phase on the matter and |
have telegraphed a modified state
ment tonight"
Captain Matlack said after his ar
rival here that he had no idea the
United States government had au-
thorized the payment of $4,000. He
thought the ranchmen had raised
the money as matter of sentiment
in order to save the aviators' lives.
He saw a chance to save almost
half Of the money and took it.

POLES SMASHING
BOLSHEVIKI WITH
STRIKING SUCCESS
Petlura and Denikene Winning
in West and South Rus
sia, Is Report.

London, Aug. 21.-Advices re-
ceived by prominent Poles in Lon
don today are to the effect that Gen
erals Petlura and Denikene are con-
tinuing their offensives respectively
in west and south Russia against
the bolsheviki and with striking sue
cess.
The correspondent was informed
that General Denikene's advance
probably soon would connect him
with the allied troops which would
be the signal for the rising of the
entire. Ukraine against bolshevism
and the driving back of the bolshe-
wiki into the desolate regions of
central Russia.
The bolsheviki drive which here
tofore had been toward Omsk, now
is being centered against Turkestan,
where the bolsheviki would be able
to secure cotton and other supplies
of which they would be deprived by
the loss of the Ukraine.
Admiral Kolchak's Ural Cossacks
and his southern army have been
forced back to the Orenburg-Tash-
kent railway. The Northern Siberi-
an rear guards are retiring and the
bolsheviki claim that they have
crossed the Tobot river.
