CANADIANS URGE
AMERICAN TO FIGHT
Lamar Tooze Finds Nation
Across Border Taking
Big War Seriously.
ALL "DOING THEIR BIT'
Visitor Criticises Habit of Soldiers
Carrying Sticks Instead of
Swords. Saying They Look
Too Much Ijlke Fops.
BT LAMAR TOOZE.
TORT WILLIAM, Ont.,Sept. 24. (Spe
cial.) Take a. Puget Sound steamer at
eattle in the morning, go ashore at
ictoria. B. C. in the afternoon of the
fame day. and it won't take you long
to discover that you have gone from a
country at peace to a country at war.
It seems hardly possible that a four
hours boat ride could bring one into
such a changed environment.
Canadians are deadly in earnest
about the war. Soldiers are everywhere
and the British colors float from
every flag-staff. Most of the soldiers
wear the regulatlbn 3rab of the Eng
lish army with pinch-back coats, tight-fitting-
trousers and head-gear which
lacks the rakish appearance of the
American fatigue hat.
Oh, yes the swords? They are con
spicuous by their absence. Since leav
ing Portland nearly a week ago, I have
eeen hundreds of Canadian soldiers, but
not even the eemblace of a sword. In
their stead, the officers, and men. too,
when not on duty, carry swagger
sticks. These canes are very unmlli
tary in appearance. They make the
eoldier look like a fop and detract from
the dignity ordinarily associated with
. commissioned officer. I understand
that swords are of little use in modern
trench warfare, but swagger sticks
seem poor substitutes.
Canada, with a population exceeding
7.000,000. has supplied the King to
date with 365.000 of his beat soldiers.
Military authorities say that the na
tive Canadian, "Canuck," is the best
eoldier in the world. He combines the
American traits of hardihood and ini
tiative with English bulldoggedness.
This opinion prompted an English Gen
eral in the Boer war to coin the now
familiar phrase, "Give me Canadian
soldiers and Missouri mules and I'll lick
the world."
Women Are Working.
The women of Canada, too, are "do
ing their bit" for the cause. At Vic
toria, fashionably-attired young women
at every street corner, urged passers
by to purchase little badges bearing
British colors. My brother and I had
hardly put foot on shore before we also
were wearing the colors along with
the rest of the pedestrians. The pro
ceeds, so the young woman told us in
the most English of English accents,
will be used in purchasing woolen
socks for the soldiers at the front. My
brother, disregarding Johnson's defini
tion of a pun. suggested that probably
the boys in Europe would prefer the
hole-proof variety.
I have seen many Canadian women
on the trains knitting socks for the
soldier lads. I remember one woman
in particular who worked, it seemed to
rne. from morning until night, knitting
socks as if her livelihood depended
upon it. The fingers that so deftly
wielded the needles were radiant with
five or six of the largest diamonds I
expect to see outside a Jeweler's win
dow. Rank or wealth are of little
moment in Canada today. Everybody
Is working for King and country with
an almost sacred devotion.
Despite the fact that Canada has al
ready contributed one-twentieth of her
population to the cause, recruiting stili
proceeds in an active manner. Yester
day as my brother and I were walking
down the streets of Winnipeg we were
approached by a Canadian enlisting of
ficer. Enlistment Is Urged.
"Come on. boys. Get a uniform and
help us win the war."
My reply was that we were Ameri
cans. "That doesn't make any difference."
he rejoined. "Lots of Americans are
fighting in Europe today on our side."
It is true. The casualty lists pub
lished in Canadian newspapers contain
the names of many Americans. An en
tire regiment the American Legion
was recruited at the beginning of the
war.
My 'brother, with some display of
spirit, ended the conversation by tell
ing the officer that "if there were any
fighting to be done, we would do it
under the Stars and Stripes."
In all public places huge brilliantly
colored placards renew the call to arms.
"Are you doing your bit by King and
country?" or "Join the Cameron High
landers, departure soon," illustrate the
spirit and wording of the posters. The
regiments that can promise the earliest
departure for the front are the most
likely to get recruits. The soldier boys
have shown distaste for the monotony
and idleness of the concentration
camps.
The Canadian Pacific is taking ex
treme precautions in guarding its prop
erties. All bridges, tunnels and grain
elevators are patrolled by armed sen
tries. Considerable damage was done
to railroad property at the beginning
of the war by sympathizers of the cen
tral powers. "Safety first" carries
more significance in Canada than in
the United States at the present time.
AMERICAN WOMAN SELLS GUNS TO GREAT BRITAIN.

MRS. KATHRYS' M. STANTOX.
Mrs. Kathryn M. Stanton, aglow with the triumph of selling the centrif
ugal gun for which she stood sponsor, to the British government, returned
on board the Tuscania September 18.
The new weapon which she sold Great Britain is operated without powder
and is noiseless as well as smokeless. It hurls missiles with deadly aim, the
missiles may be anything from an egg to a lump of dynamite. There is no
barrel to the gun and it may be operated by any untrained man or woman.
It is simple of construction and all of its parts can be made at any machine
shop with a cost of less than one-tenth of the price of a weapon using ex
plosives. Mrs. Stanton financed the building of .the model and personally su
perintended the making of the gun. The weapon was tried out at Sandy Hook
and the officers present acclaimed it as the weapon of future warfare. The
United States did not care to purchase the invention, so Mrs. Stanton sold
it to Great Britain. This is the second invention in a short time that was
turned down by the United States and later accepted by Great Britain.

PARTY 15 NOT SPLIT
German Socialists Avoid Rup
ture Over Policy.
EACE TERMS DISCUSSED
Territorial and Industrial Rights
Insisted On, but Xo Honorable
Means of Ending War I
to Be Overlooked.
BERLIN, via London, Sept. 24. The
Socialist National conference did not
bring the predicted split in the party.
The radical representative, after the
rejection of their resolution declaring
that the conference was not entitled to
pass on questions of policy, refrained
from voting on further resolutions pre
sented, but did not bolt the conference.
The majorityl. which was behind the
regular party organization, refrained
from taking action which would en
force a rupture.
The relative strength of the factions
was shown by the rollcall on the radi
cal resolution, 275 members supporting
the regular organization while the rad
icals mustered 168 votes. The confer
ence then adopted resolutions approv
ing votes on the war credits by Social
ist members of the Reichstag and con
demning the separate action of a part
of the Reichstag group which led to
split of the Socialist representation in
the Reichstag. The conference also
passed the so-called David peace re so
lution.
The V orwaerts, discussing the con
ference from the standpoint of the
minority, says the unity of the party is
assured through the conference, the re
sult of which was a compromise allow
ing binding decisions on the party's
policy to be put off until the regular
national convention, which is to be held
after the war.
The peace resolution declared that
Germany should not be forced through
nternal agencies to seek a peace which
did not guarantee to her the territorial
and industrial rights which were hers
before the war, but that, since the war
should not be looked upon in the light
of an attempt to gain territory by con
quest, no honorable means of obtaining
peace should be overlooked.

VOV ARE FOR HUGHES
YOU MAY GET A BUTTON
FREE TODAY.
Thousands of
Oregon peo
ple are wearing
buttons signify
ing their sup-
Iport of Charles
Hughes for
Presi dent. If
you would like
to join them in
showing your political colors it is
easy to get one of these buttons.
Just call the business office of
The Oregonian, Sixth street en
trance, today. The buttons are
free.
Everybody recognizes the ris
ing tide of popularity for Hughes,
not only in Oregon, but in the
country at large. While there
has been little doubt, since the
Republicans and Progressives
united, that Hughes would carry
the country, political prophets
everywhere realize that his
chances for a sweeping victory
are increasing. The betting odds
of two to one- over Wilson are
one indication of this. Only Sat
urday a bet of $1000 to $500 on
Hughes to win was posted in
Portland. Another straw that In
dicates the political trend is the
predominance of Hughes but
tons seen on the streets. The
demand for them is coming to
the Republican state committee
faster than it can be met. ButThe
Oregonian has been fortunate in
securing a supply of these buttons
