LONDON, Oet. 18. — Reports said
to be prevalent in America and else
where that troops from the British do
minions are used more freely on the
western front that are those from the
United Kingdom, are denied in an “au
thoritative statement,” published by
Reuters.
The proportion of casualties on the
western front is actually higher among
the troops from the United Kingdom
than among those of the dominions,”
says the statement. Figures showing
the property of divisions from the do
minions and from the United King
dom employed in battles on the Som
me, around Arras and Ypres and at
Messines, are given to show that
troops from the “Motherland” exceed
ed those from the colonies in the ratio
of from two to one to five to one.
"The casualties also are compared
showing, according to the statement,
lhat those of the United Kingdom
troops have been higher than those of
-the troops from the dominions.
“Clearly there can be no question
that the 'Motherland' troops have been
spared at the expense of the colon
ials,” adds the statement. “On the
contrary, the evidence points to the
fighting having been shared very
equally between the available troops
Irrespective of the part of the British
empire from which they came.”
Assertions that large numbers of
trained soldiers fit for service are re
tained in idleness in the United King
dom also are denied.
In all the actual theatres of war, the
proportion of troops from the mother
land as compared with those of the
dominions is between five and six to
one, that, is “of every six British sol
diers serving at the front, at least
five have been recruited in the United
Kingdom.”

CANANEA, Mexico. Oct. 18—Cana
nea will be as much of a deserted min
ing camp as any of the old camps in
the American west if the activities
of the Sonore government here con
tinue long.
The government is arranging trans
portation for all the Mexicans re
maining here and is finding employ
ment in other mining districts for
them. Entire families are being ta
ken on trains to other parts of the
state and few people now remain in
this big camp.
When the Cananea Copper Company
and the government disagreed about
the payment of a bullion tax, the pay
ment of back taxes and taxes upon
undeveloped mining property the en
tire camp was closed and all Ameri
cans left for the border. The disa
greement has never been settled and
the camp is gradually being desert
ed with little hope of work being re
sumed upon this great mineral depos
it in the future.

THEATRICAL MANAGER PROVES
CRITICS NOT INFALLIBLE.
(By Associated Press)
PARIS. Oct. 18. — One of the small
Paris theatres has set about proving
that dramatic critics are not infalllbi°.
Every evening before the rise of the
curtain on an adversely criticised but
no less successful play, the irate man
ager appears, bearing a ound’.e of
newspapers, from which he reads the
choicest condemnatory excerpts. Hav
ing thus stated the newspaper view
of his play, he leaves the rest to the
judgment of the audience, which, in
most cases, proves highly favorable to
author, actors and manager.

VERSES TO ALASKA WAR VICTIM
The Portland Sunday Oregonian re
cently contained the following verses
dedicated to the memory of Robert J
Barron, of Alaska and Portland, who
joined the United States aviation ser
vice as an officer immediately after
the outbreak of war and was drowned
at the Essington, Pa., station while
trying to save the life of a fellow' of
ficer:
MEMORIAL.
(To Robert Barron, student aviator
at Essington, Pa., who lost his life in
the Delaware river, August 22, while
rescuing a comrade.)
You heard your country's need cry out
your name.
And with the lance of courage in
your eyes.
And panoplied with gold of youth you
came,
Unthinking of the wage or sacrifice.
And we shall never know to what
higher ways
Your foot was set; in answer to
such call,
Leonidas, and heroes of all days,
So adorned and so armed, have
staked their all.
And what of Thermopylae, what Lex
ington,
Presented hazards of this new war
fare
That venture's where a star's battal
ion,
Long undisputed, sentinels the air?
I
We shall not know what star awaited
you.
For, ere you learned the rudiments
of strife,
You heard a cry of need sounded
anew,
And gave the ringing answer of your
life.
Now, in this hour, that knows our
greatest need
Is of such blood as yours — to keep
our claim
To high democracy unscarred by
greed—
Nations must mourn with those who
bear your name.
