ANTI-WAR MOVE SUSPECTED Representative Heflln TJrges In vestlgation of German Influ ence Before Taking Up His Accusation of Fellows. ' WASHINGTON'. D. C, Sept. 27. In quiry by a House committee into whether German money has been used to influence Congress probably will be proposed tomorrow In a resolution sponsored by the rules committee and supported by the Democratic leaders. Demands for an exhaustive inquiry overwneimea the House leaders from both sides today while the rules com mittee in executive session was con sidering whether to report favorably on tne several resolutions introduced since Secretary Lansing mare publia Count Bernstorffs message to Berlin asking- authority to spend $50,000 "in fluencing Congress as has been done before . Jn a speech to the House rules com mittee. Representative Heflin, of Ala bama, whose declaration on the floor of the House that he could name mem bers who had acted suspiciously Is largely responsible for the agitation urged that the question of whether German money had been used be in vestigated first and that his statements be looked into incidentally. All ef forts of committee men to get Mr. Hef lin to name some of the men he had in mind failed, but he reiterated his will ingness to name them if a committee were appointed by the Democratic cau cus. Measures Are Indicated. llr. Heflin added zest to his remarks Ty bringing in the names of Senator La Follette and Representatives Brit ten and Mason, of Illinois, and Repre sentative saer, of .North Dakota, in connection with certain legislation and propaganda which, he declared, he did not consider loyal, and by Indicating to iiepresentatlve rnorton that be wanted to "question", him later. He did not say that any of these men were Included in his list of "13 or 14." "We must not lose sight of the Von Bernstorff 'slush' fund." he told the committee. "I want an opportunity to ask some gentlemen about this Mason bill (to repeal the selective draft law) and I want to ask some of them about their correspondence. I want to know bow many of them are now in a. quiet understanding to fight the selective draft bill in the next campaign. Anti-War Move 8 aspect ed. Mr. Heflin insisted that Inquiry was advisable and the purpose of aecer taining how a man stood on the war at home as well as In Washington. In this connection he mentioned Repre sentative Baer, who soon after his election to Congress as a represent ative of the Is'on-partisan League, In troduced a resolution asking for a statement of the : Government's peace terms. "Baer was elected by men who repu diated the war," the Aalbama Repre sentative said, "and if others are pand ering to that sentiment let us put the spotlight on them and know where they are. If this new move is to re puuiate the Republican and Democratic parties and desert the country in time of war. It deserves to be looked Into. "Something is at work to give im petus to this La Follette campaign that has started. We might as well call a spade a spade. I am going to propound some questions to some mem bers about this matter. I want to know and the country wants to know whether the Government is being sup ported all over the country by those in position of trust."

WITH THE THIRD OREGON, Some where In Arizona, Sept. 27.- (Special.) "All fall out for a bath at Tucson." This was the welcome news that an order signed by Colonel May flashed through the special train-earry ing the Third Oregon, as : it was rushing through Hell's Acre this afternoon. It was a pajama-clad lot of soldiers that sweltered and oozed In, these hone too sanitary mixed Pullman and tourist cars, and the news that the crowd was to enjojf a plunge this evening made all forget the wavering heat ghosts that were on duty so early this morn- ng. The sun was batting .400 when the special arrived at Niland. and from there on to Tucson it skyrocketed up n the. heavens until the sands of the Afcijave desert glistened in a maze of crimson and golden glory. lnis special would have been - no place for the man who wrote the song about Arizona and the "silvery Colo rado." They would have been safer in the front-line trenches of- France. The soldiers today at dinner ate the ast of the box lunches. Nothing but some of the homemade candy survives. The men view the passing of the lunch noxes with regret. It means no tt inn- back to the Armv chow. This is the fourth day and all is well At Tucson the train was met by Ham Clark, eeeretary of the Y. M. C. A.. and the entire command was detrained and' taken to the Y. M. C. A. and en- oyed a plunge bath. The only excitement other than the delay caused by the, train wreck near Bakersfield when two engines side swiped each'dther took place this af ternoon while everybody was swelter ing. One of the porters took aboard too much booze at Los Angeles and slapped a brother porter on the nose. Captain Murphy, officer or the day, promptly placed the porter under guard. He was taken off the train at Tucson. up to their name every minute they are on the stage. A pair of interesting folk are Fair man and Patrick, who present "A Little Bit of Irish Wit and Song." Their anecdotes and repartee has a true Celtic flavor and the songs evoke ap plause. A comedy skit that holds close attention is "The Burglars' Union," in which keen fun is provided when a darky Is made to Join a crooks' union. Sensational in detail is the act of the Belgian Trio, two athletic men and a super-strong girl. They toss each other about most unconcernedly and a cli max In thrills is provided when the girl lifts both wen and twirls them around. Guy P.

Order to Teach Own Blen AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN FRANCE, Sept. 27.r The Paris corre spondent of Reuter's, Limited, writes the following account of his recent visit to the training camp of the American expeditionary force: "I asked an English drill sergeant who had Just given a bunch of 16 Amer ican subalterns' a breathing spell after some particularly strenuous exercises, what he thought of his charges. "What do I think of these 'ere young gentlemen, sir? Why, sir, we've Just had 'em in six days, and look at 'era. They're training on beautifully. "The best thing about 'em, sii," he went on with professional pride, "is that, they're as keen as mustaid. We can't give 'em too much. They eat it up. At it eight hours a day and ask for more and you could see for your self, sir, 'ow we made 'em "ustle. Just lettin' 'em see, sir, 'ow we do it in our little army." .- Officers Work Strennons. I was on a visit to one of ao Viral camps somewhere In France where the American Army Is training. After lunch with the division commander, a simple but ample meal with a water washdown as I am told it is in, ivciy mess he Invited me to come with him "to see how your English Pergent Major takes my aide over there and the rest of the school of officers and makes them run around." "Yes," said an- alert officer, "come and see me sweat- The .drill wo rt has baseball skinned at the post as an exercise, put It is great stuff." We stood later on in a smillnir bill- siae. wnne tne utneral pointed out wnere there bad been constructed in a dip three short lines of trenches, end ing at a rise some hundred yards off. Tin Cnn Represent Helmets. Those points you see in the sun on the opposite slope," he said, "are tin cans on sticks. You will know their use in a minute or two.". Ready, gentlemen" said the drill sergeant. Prepare for trench bavonet oractlre by half-sections. You're to take these three lines of .trenches, lav out everv Boche in the lot and then get to cover ana lire six rounds at them 'ere tin 'ats. Don't waste a shot, gentlemen, every bullet a Boche. Now, then, ready; over the top and give "em 'ell right in the stomach. ... Frits likes his victuals, but not tnat sort, oet at em." Over- the top they went with what must have been some wild college veil They ran some 10 yards and dug their oayonets savagely into dummy Ger mans, made of sacks, who -swung in the wind to meet them and. disappeared in tne nrsi trencn. we could see thej ruie outts mi ana rail as ther uncnl uesperate at the supposed foe. Then up they came and on again until we could see them spread-eagled behind a shallow trench, blazing away at the cans wnich rattled down. Then, -as they marched back, the second section got ready to begin its stunt. "O'Grady Says' Is Great Game. "To ease 'em a bit between real work," the sergeant explained, "we give 'em games, but each of these "ere games Is meant to teach 'em some thing:. We let 'em laugh and Joke, but they must keep their minds on the game or we tell 'em a thing." bo iney played a game de ffned to teach concentration of thought on the wcrds of command, the sergeant be gan: "When I begin a command with the words, 'O'drtdy says' yon obey It. When I don't you stand stiff. Now, ready! O'Orady says eyes right. O'Grady says left turn. Front. There you are, four of you gone to sleep. Get back and touch the post in that wire fencing behind you and then keep your ears skinnod for O'Grady." It was a merry game, but behind all its fun and laughter one could see its serious purpose and the fine young fellows who played it knew It better than we. Surprise Attnrk Deserlhed. Afterwards we watched what was an extremely interesting bit of train ing. A seotion of a commanding trench had been prepared with side porkets, so Id speak, at Intervals of five yards or so. In each of these was supposed to be one or mole Germans, represented by a sack." The object les son was to teach these young officers so that they might afterwards teach their men tNV best manner in which to take the occupants of such a trench by surprise with bayonet in hand and to clean it up. "Now. remember, gentlemen," said the drillmaster, "there's a Fritz in each one of these 'ere cubby 'oles and 'e's no dub. Is Fritz. 'E's got ear all down his back. We taught 'em that trick, ao see that your feet are pneumatic and for 'even's sake don't sneeze or his nibs will sling you a bomb like. wink ing and there's a nasty mess. Ready. No. 1, 'ead down, bayonet up. It Is no use sticking out your neck to try to get a sight of Frits In 'is 'ole. W'y, if old Frit was there you'd Just down your point and where'd you be? W'y. a bllukin' casualty, and you forget it. Ready, again. Bayonet up. Now you see 'em. Quick, down with the point and at 'em. Tickle 'is gizzard. Not so bad, but I bet you awakened 'is nibs in the next 'ole. You see, when you pulled your bayonet out of his little niary, you 'it. the butt of your gun against the opposite side of the trench. That's a fate. Keep in mind your fight ing for your life. Clean and quick killin' is the word." Americans Are In Earnest. It was good to see the earnest way In which these young Americans got down to their work. They are all right, these lads, and Wheh they get their chance, they will show it. "Good progress for a week, sir, ain't itT" asked the Sergeant with pride before he left. "They've come from a flghtin' stock, these young gentlemen, and God help the Boches when they get goin'." The last supreme impress which the Visit mads upon ma was that of the immense seriousness and modesty of officers and men in the face of their task. We heard In France, as you doubtless have heard In England, that the Americans had come over boasting tney nan come to linisll a Job too Lis for us. I have still to come across i;h an American.

EMIGRATION NOT AFFECTED Movement From United States Western Canada Normal, to OTTAWA, Ont., Sept. 27. The move ment of settlers from the United- Stales to the Canadian West continues to be of considerable volume, according to the statement of officials of the Do minion immigration department. The entry of the United States Into the. war. and the adoption of the se lective draft system has not affected emigration to the Western provinces. This, it is explained, is due to the fact that the large majority of those who seek homes in- Canada are well-to-do farmers above the military age with children too young to be affected by the conscription law.

Association seized in a raid 'by detectives from the State's Attorney's office today tend to stiow that a price was fixed for the retail marketing of milk by members of the association, according to Maclay Hoyne, State's Attorney. The raid was conducted at the re quests of James M.

The price of milk to distributors Jumped from $2.12 to $3.42 per hun dred pounds since the February meet ing of the association.
