"FIGHTING FRANCE"-by Stephane
1 MENDS Lauzanne. Published by D. Apple-
CAN ton company, New York.
France is suffering but not "bled
r arrived white." This is the central theme of
rsity aft- M. Stephane Lauzanne's book, "Fight-
one-half ing France." M. Lauzanne was pres-
infantry. ent at the last commencement at
Petit was which time he received an honorary
a branch degree from the University, and made
it he im- a .powerful impression in his talk on
:t at the France and its spirit in this great
epoch of its history.
and in Unlike most of the war books which'
disclaims have flooded the literary market, this
hie mere- book is more than a collection of anec-
f France. dotes, and stories of the struggle and
wounded strife of France, and the blood-cur-
that end- dling cruelty of the Huns. Whatever
of such details have been included
e incom- within its pages are illustrative rather
over the than the objective of the work.

ged to report for try-,
the war, namely, that France is about
ready to "quit," is refuted unmistake-
ably. M. Lauzanne as ex-editor-in-
chief of Le Matin, first lieutenant in
th French army,'14, and member of
the French mission to the United
States, is in a position ,to state the
facts boldly and truthfully. He leaves
no doubt whatever in the mind of the
reader as to the material and spirit-
ual power and endurance of France
today.z
Furthermore, any fear that France
will agiee to peace terms which would
in any way mark a deviation from her
purposes in entering the war is dis-
pelled. He sttes France's war aims
simply but powerfully and supports
his contentions by documentary evi-
dence, which even a subtle son of the
"fatherland" would find difficult to
dispute.
If it were possible for the Ameri-
can public to increase its love and
admiration for France, its understand-
ing of what France is fighting for,
how she is fighting, and why she con-
tinues to fight, this book would deep-
en the esteem for America's ancient
ally.
MINOTTO DISCLOSES
PREMIER'S TREASON
New York, Oct. 28.-Startling dis-
closures -regarding the alleged nego-
tiations of Joseph Caillaux, one time
premier of France, and Count von
Luxburg, former German minister to
Argentina, who intended to re-estab-
lish Caillaux in power in 1915 and
bring about a separate peace with
Germany, have been made to deputy
state attorney Becker by Count James
Minotte, interned alien enemy, the
state officials announced here today.
The deposition of Minotto, who is
the son-imlaw of Louis Swift, of Chi-
cago, has been forwarded to the
French ambassador .t Washington
Becker said, and the summary of it
has been cabled to France for use in
the trial of~Caillaux for high treason,
which opens tomorrow. The full text
also is on its way to Paris by a fast
ship.
Minotto was brought here last week
from Fort Ogalthorpe, Ga., by spe-
cil agents of the department of jus-
tice
Caillaux is charged with "intrigue
tending to sink the solidarity of the
Allies and to bring about a premature
and dishonorable peace with Ger-
many."
Caill ux conspiracy is alleged pro-
posed 'an alliance between France,
Germany, Italy and Spain, against
England apd Russia.
Letts of Russia to Form New nation
Petrograd (Correspondence of the
Associated Press).-Birth of a fnew
nation of 2,600,000 people, or a popu-
lation greater than that of Norway,
to be called Lettland, will be one of
the results of the world war if the
demands of the Letts of Livonia and
Courland are granted.

OPPOSES PLEA OF PRESIDENT
URGING DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESS
New York, Oct. 28.-Col. TheodoreN
Roosevelt, answering President Wil-
son's appeal for return of a Demo-
cratic majority in congress, urged vot-
ers of the nation in an address here
tonight to transfer control to Repub-
lican leadership. Such an utcome of
the election, he declared, would as-
sure "our Allies that America Jis de-
termined to speed up the war and in-
sist on unconditional surrender" of
the enemy, and would serve notice
on Germany "and her vassal states"
that they would have to deal hence-:
forth "with the resolute and straight-
forward soul of the American people
and not merely with the obscure pur-
poses and wavering will of Mr. Wil-
son."
Declaring that "half of the leaders
of the President's own party oppos-
ed him when he had committed him-
self to war measures," Mr. Roosevelt
asserted that heads of the Republican
organization in congress supported.
the administration when a declaration
lof war was needed, when there was a
<demand for the draft, when the army
was sent overseas, and when money
"was required by taxation or by loans.'
The former president spoke at a
meeting under the auspices.of the Re-
publican club at Carnegie hall to ad-
vocate' the election of "the Republi-
can state ticket" here in New York
and the Republican ticket throughout
the Union."
American Girls Carry Mal in France
New York, Oct. 28.-In France three
-American girls, Barbara Allen, daugh-
ter of Frederick H. Allen of New
York, Miriam Blagden, also of New
York, and Margaret Moore of Butte,
Mont., have been carrying mail be-
tween Senlis and Vic-sur Aisne.
The headquarters of the American
'committee for devastated France has
received news of tljir work. During
the first week in June the shortage of
man power and the congestion of the
railroads, loaded with ammunition for
the front, was so great that more
help was necessary. The three wom-
en began their work during this time.
This is the first time that the French
government has confided the task of
mail carrying to women.
New York; Oct. 27. - The United
States has become one of the lead-
ing world producers of artificial silk,
and turning trees into silk stockings
one of its chief industries. During the
last fiscal year more than 6,000,000
pairs of stockings made from artifi-
cial silk, obtained from wood pulp,
were exported.
While the textiles made from the
artificial fiber are not yet fully equal
to those produced from the natural
silk, the growing use of the artificial
silk is illustrated by the fact that our,
imports of artificial sill, chiefly in
the form of yarns or threads, aggre-
gated about $30,000,000 in the last dec-
ade.

Turks Lose Ground
On the northern Italian front hard
fighting is in progress between the
Brenta and Piave :rivers. Along the
Piave river the Allied troops have
been successful in crossing the riv-
er, inflicting heavy casualties on the
enemy and taking more than 9,000
prisoners. In Albania the Austrians
have been driven back by the Ital-
ians to Alession, which lies 20 miles
southeast of Scutari, just south of the
Montenegran border. In -Serbia the
Austrians have evacuated Kraguiezetz,
55 mile's southeast of Belgrade, and'
are still in retirement toward the Dan-
ube river.
The Turks are fast being driven out
of Mesopotamia; having reached a pas-
ition more than 155 miles north of
Bagdad, while in Syria General All-
enby's troops are keeping in close
contact with the Ottoman forces
north of Ipppo.
Chicago to Publish Smaller Annual
Plans are under way at the Uni-
versity of Chicago to publish the col-
lege annual, The Cap and Gown, de-
spite the unfayorable conditions which
confront its publication. It is expect-
ed that the size of the volume will be
somewhat smaller than last year, in
order to decrease the cost, and also
that the book as a whole will have a
military aspect.
