CANADA DID WELL
Honors WorthiIy Won at lnterna-

Friendly Rivalry at Chicago Splendid
iy Revealed the Possibilities Of
Our Northern Nsiohbor.

Further evidence. IL any were needed,
Of the friendly relations between Cam
ada and the United States might
have been found by visit to the In
fernational Live Stock Show recently
held at the Chicago Stock Yards.
Ihere the Canadian and American
were TO be found side by side In the
friendliest competition, the loser will
ingiy admitting defeat when the other
fellow carried off the blue ribbon.
Some OF the Choicest and best Of
Canadian stock was there, and much
OF II returned loaded down with rib
bons denoting firsts, championships
that Indicate pedigree. breeding and
worth. and cups and trophies that
were won in hard and severe contests.
The hay and grain classes were
points of great interest. and here
Canada did well. securing many
prizes.
Twenty-Five first prizes were listed
In the oats class; Canada carried
away y of them. A sample of oats
from the Province Of Alberta, weigh
ing AZ pounds to the bushel, was the
heaviest sample In the show. 1t was
Alberta oats that took the sweep
stakes, the exhibitor in this case, j.
w. Lucas. of Cayley, repeating what
he did last year.
In wheat there were 25 first prizes
to be awarded; Canada got % Of
them.
The greatest Interest was shown
when the horse classes were called.
Here also Canada stood well to the
front. The Percheron entries showed
that Canada breeders were popular
and successful exhibitors. Champion
ships were awarded to a number. and
first prizes were common. The same
may be said of Clydesdales. This
breed stood out prominently, there
were many entries. and this old-time
popular breed had an unusual num-
Der Of admirers. This was especially
so in "Wee Donald's" case. Here was
a Saskatchewan horse, his owner TAX
ing back to Canada the grand cham
pionship. Not only has he done II this
year, but last year as well-two years
In succession-something never before
done at the Live Stock show. In
Clydesdales Canada won places In
every class In which entries were
made.
The same story could be repeated in
sheep and hogs, honors being heaped
upon honors on Canadian entries
Particularly important is the fact that
first prize for alfalfa seed was
awarded for seed grown at Brooks
Alberta in competition with 43 en-.
tries. Alfalfa growing in Western
Canada has been increasing by leaps
and bounds, and this victory will give
it-and the dairy industry. which Is
always linked with it-a further i'm

A visit to the Canadian government
exhibit of grains, grasses, vegetables

Edward C. O'Brien, special repre-
sentative of the United States Ship
ping Board, made public yesterday an
address which General William M.
Black, chief of engineers. u. S. A.
(retired), made June /, 1920, before
the committee of the Chamber Of Com
merce, on foreign commerce and the
revenue laws, in which General Black
said that the exorbitant fees charged
for the use of piers here might drive
Shipping Board vessels to other ports.
A copy of the address, Mr.. O'Brien
said, had been submitted to the Meyer
committee at it's hearings on pier
profteering.
"You have heard good deal about
profteering," said General Black, "and
we have been making good deal of
fuss about it in Congress and out of
Congress. You all know what the
charges for space were prior to this

and 500, averaging somewhere be-

made for berthing at that pier is $500

against the Shipping Board, and l pre-
sumo others.
"Another case is q pier 657 by 1903

"Another case, the berth costs the

Drunkenness Rare Thing
And Few A w O L From Barracks

Moreover, drunkenness is a crime which
seldom appears on the character sheets of
Coblenz troops The writer did not see a
single straggler trying vainly to find his
way back to barracks or billet after hours,
as is common to barrack towns in England
and other European countries, and even in
the other allied zones Of occupation.
Just after the war there was plenty of
heavy drinking in the Coblenz zone, but
this has ceased. Those who refused to fall
in line with the general improvement idea
were gradually weeded out. there was no
place in Maior-General Henry r. Aliens
army for any one who would not devote
100 per cent. of his efforts to showing that
he was worthy OF the name American"
For this has been the dominant idea of
American occupation under General Allen
that the Germans should be given the in.
centive to adopt a higher ideal than that
provided by their own former military
powers, an incentive for better living. in
which a gradual strengthening of relations
would eventually outweigh the idea of op-
preston.
How well this has succeeded can readily
be seen by the fact that in all Coblenz there
are few who would not regret the de
parture OF the American troops--wth vari-
ant reasons which will be set forth later.
Probably one of the biggest influences in
the development of the Rhineland spirit
was the lesson taught to many officers and
men when the mark began to slump. Hun
dreds had bought marks at the rate of fifty
or sixty per dollar, with dreams Of an easy
future when normal exchange values re
turned. But whom the German paper

And how much of this did the Govern

THE Government" he replied, with a
stare of amazement. Good heavens, not a
damn cent. We don't even ask them for
labor with which to build our floors. but
just dig down In our pockets and pay all
the expense ourselves. It saves lots of
time and we feel better when we've done
something ourselves"
And this is the spirit which, according
to the soldiers themselves, a lot of esti-
mable old women are trying to crush by
bowling that the troops be taken back
home and placed in uncomfortable barracks
where initiative is invariably prevented by
some awe inspiring but inconsiderate su-

Incidentally, later in the same afternoon
THE NEw YORK HERALp's correspondent
talked with a group of fifteen infantrymen
whose terms Of enlistment are due to expire
about June, 1922. They have been warned
that they probably will be among the first
to go, so that their discharge can be facili-
tated on the other side of the Atlantic.
Their solution of the problem was q prompt
one-mcrely visit to their adjutant's
office where they signed an agreement
to enlist for another three years ION con-
dition that they shall remain with the
Rhine forces as long as Washington per
