Senator From Iowa Demands
Baker Explain Why There
Was DISCRIMINATORY
Against Many.
Tribune Washington Bureau.

La#t " ~sMIE[aE
Washington. Dec. 13.-Senator
intended to go to the bottom of the
action of the war department IN dis
e..minating against soldiers of the
national army and national guard in
and war medals.
He has written a letter to Secretary
Baker calling for a list of Iowa SOL
diers granted distinguished service
crosses or medals, a list of those rec
commended for such honors by their
superior officers and a statement Of
the reasons why the recommends
tions of the superiors were not fol-
lowed. Senator Cummins has taken
this action with the backing of the
Iowa delegation and at the instance
of prominent members Of the Ameri-
can EXpeditionary forces in Iowa.
Such men as Col. Wilbur Conkling,
and Col. Guy S. Brewer, as we'll az
others well known for their service
in Franff rave protested in Behalf
of comreptGs who, it is alleged, have
not a b square deal.
Lasher Protests for Iowans.
Adjutant General Lasher conferred
with Senator Cummins recently and
protested in behalf of numerous Iowa
veterans and American Legion posts.
With only 3 per cent. of the off
GERS in the service at the front be-
longing to the regular army, they
have won over half the crosses" said
Senator Cummins. "The national
army and national guard have both
been Disseminated against in a man
ner which is utterly indefensible and
outrageous. / have asked Secretary
Baker for the facts and while / have
not heard from him it seems to me
there is no defense Tor it."
Congressional Probe Likely.
If Senator CummIns cannot get his
matter Strengthened out under the
regime Of Secretary Baker, he will
follow it up in the new administra-
ton and under the new secretary Of
war.
Similar complaints are made in
other states and it is not at all un-
likely there will be a general In
quiry by the Senate or House mills
tary committee into h whole sub
ject in a national way.
II the representations made by vet
Grams of the national army and the
national guard are correct, there is
no doubt such an investigation should
be made.

CANADA BIC WINNER
Captures Many Prizes at Lead
ing American Fairs.
Remarkable Showing Made at ~Interna.
tional Live Stock Show at CHI
cago-carried Off Sweepstakes
For All Wheat.

Something that lends emphasis to,
and affords definite proof of, the gen
crosby of the soil and climate of
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers OF that country, at
many of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly is this the case with re-
gard to exhibits made at the Inter
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer will appeal the fact that
Canada carried off the Sweepstakes
for all wheat, and that out of a total
of twenty-five prizes, Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by a farmer living in
the Province of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out
of a total Of ten prizes, Canada took
first, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only in grains did Canada prove
her right to rank as a first class agri-
cultural country, but she carried. off
many prizes for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs, a partial list of which fol
lows:
Cattle, Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade Shorthorns,
also in the College Special class, Can
ada gained first, fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses, Grand Championship for
'Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Cham
.pionship for American bred mare, as
well as first for three-year-old Clydes-
dale stallion, first for ~one-year-old
Clydesdale stallion, and second for
the aged class.
In the Belgian class, Canada OBJ
tanned first and reserve for Champion
ship Belgians, as well as second for
Aged stallion.
Sheep, Canada obtained Champion
ship for block, male and female, in
addition to first prize in all group
prizes.
Hogs, in the Yorkshire class Canada
was very prominent, taking the Cham
pionship for pen of Yorkshires, and
championship for best single barrow.
as well as over twenty first, second
and third prizes in other classes of
YerkShires.
With regard to the live stock shown
1t must be borne in mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
the average western farmer places his
reliance, but on the wonderful oats
and barley grown in western Canada,
supplemented by the native grasses,
of which a most artistic display was
made by our %neighbors to the north.
Canada has co%nclusively proved that
not only can she take prizes for the
grain she raises, but can also take
prizes with the animals to which
these grains have been fed, and this
