because of statements brought out In

a tract of spruce land, In which deal
certain ' soruce contracting interests
were also mentioned.
rertoaalltles Beeene Bitter
" In spite of the technical nature of
tha charaes on which Davis was tried,
much extraneous testimony tending 10
. throw lia-ht on the alleged Irregular
transactions of the spruce firms crept
Into the record.
Much nersonal feeling was manifested
between the Judge advocate's side and
-. the side of the prosecution, represented
fev Attorney Charles W. Robison. The
climax came when Lieutenant Paul W
,'. Hauser, assistant Judge advocate, in his
closing argument to the court, declared
in effect that anyone connected with the
attempt to beam Ire h the character of
the officers of the United States army
. and cast odium upon the spruce produc
tlon division on alleged doubtful evl
. . dene "should be wearing the iron cross
instead of the Insignia ef a patriotic
American cltisen.
In addressing the Court tn reply. At
torney Robison flayed the assistant
Judge advocate, 'declaring that the state
ment was unfair and wholly unpatri
otic' '
Captain Louis Dora, president of the
court, will prepare the findings of the
court, and the decision will be reviewed
by Lieutenant Colonel Ray C. Hill, com
manding officer at Vancouver barracks.
The maximum sentence is fixed by law
at six months' imprisonment In the
guardhouse. . ,

fldSnce In me. that I was connected with
the Warren Spruce company and other
eontractors, and he had found that re -

Major Hitchcock also explained the

YANKEE PATROLS ON METZ
FRONT KEEP B0CHE JUMPY
By Traak J. Taylor
With the Americans on the Met
Front, 8ept- 21. U. P.) The Germans
on the Mets front are jumpy because of
their anxiety regarding American plan)
for th immediate future.
This state of mind was responsible
for two heavy raids on our positions
northwest of Thlapcourt yesterday.
The Boches attempted to gain the same
position in both attacks, but were
driven back each time with heavy losses.
Some of the Germans went through our
artillery barrage, but these were- cut
down by rifle-fire or were bayoneted.
There has been no other Infantry fight
ing here for th past several hours.
Even the artillery activity baa lessened
as the opposing armies take, cover in
their newly constructed trenches and
dugouts.
American patrols continue to inspect
the Hlndenburg line. every night. These
patrols also prevent th Germans from
exploring the areas in front of their
wire. '
The rear areas have now- been prac
tically cleaned up. Huge boxes of cap
tured German clothing, guns, ammunt
tlon and other supplies are being hauled
to the rear. Refugees are returning to
their homes in recaptured villages, after
four years' absence, attempting to find
their houses among the ruins which
have been left everywhere. ' The dough
boys are assisting in -this work of re
habilitation.
The Americans are more than ace-hlg'n
with the inhabitants. Monsieur Meric
cler sent his wife and two daughters to
Nancy when the Boches invaded Thiau

for their home, - expecting the enemy

Advocated TJ. 8. IatcrriaUo
Th visitor advocated six months ago
American intervention In Russia. Ac
cording to his view th unselfish alms
of the United States rendered this coun
try peculiarly fitted for th task of
bringing order out of chaos In th
stricken land.
Pershing's magnificent victory in the,
St. Mibiel salient was a revelation to
the Russian patriot, who did not believe
It possible-for the American soldiers to
capture that section in a period of to
hours.
Referring to the German stronghold
of Mts he said be would be greatly
surprised If the Amrcana took it with
out a long siege.
"America's entry In the war spells de
feat for Germany," he continued.
"American 'pep' and youth and the vast
resources ef the United States is the
marvel of the world. In this country
Is produced more than one half of the
Iron, coal. lead, tungsten and other min
erals produced in the entire - orld.
Doable Treason Is Charged
"Russia la the biggest timber country
ln the world, but her forests are largely
Inaccessible. Russia has 50,000 mile of
railroad, th lines being th thickest ln
the western part, where th Germans
are In control. Germany has taken
over halt the railroads.
"The Stevens commission sent te Rus
sia from the United States accomplished
much toward the restoration of rail
transportation. In a period of two
months th service was increased 30
per cent.'
That the same Russian traitors who
sold out to Germany turned around
sold documentary evidence of tha Ger
man-Bolshevik deal, details of which
were recently revealed by the United
State authorities. Is the conviction of
Mr. Fobs.
"If Russia is not made free she will
constitute a future menace to the gen
