CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE. Sept. 24. Pressure on., the defenses of Lens is unrelenting and the Germans are being literally squeezed out of the town. Posts have been pushed out into "No Mans Land" against the Germans in the region of St. Laurent and the ground, in defense ot which the Germans fought fiercely, has been occupied by us, almost without a Struggle. If credence can be placed upon the reports of German prisoners, the garrison was given the order to evacuate. Enemy orders, however, are to hold on at all costs. A captured letter written by one German soldier to another, gives some indication of what is happening in the occupied territory. This letter, says in part: "Forced To Do It." . "I am attached to the requisitioning service in Fourties district We have taken from the French population all their lead, copper, oil. etc. Candlesticks, kitchen pots or anything like that goes off to Germany. It is not very nice often to have to take their wedding presents, but the necessity of war forces us to do it. "I had a good haul the other day. In

a walled-up room we found fifteen instruments, in copper, a regular brass band, a brand new bicycle and six candlesticks of beaten copper. And there wag a whole lot of stuff besides. You can imagine what kind of a noise the old hag who owned them made. I just laughed. She deserved all she got."

Continued From Page One. times wide of the facts. For example, a lengthy memorandum of March 1, 1916, transmitted by the secret agent. Captain Boehm, dealing with the Mexican crisis, appears to have been largely the work Of some projective imagination. "It predicts that the president will attribute Mexico's anti-American activities to German money and incitement; that he will call upon congress to support him in radical measures

(the prophet even attempts to paraphrase the language to be employed in the message) that congress will endorse the president's stand following which upward of 150 German spies and agents provacatuers were to be ar

rested and the ambassadors of the central powers to receive their passports." . . After citing an extract from Captain Boehm's letter, the committee states

that he was "too loose of tongue" for the good of his service and. citing a report of the German military information bureku of March 21, 1916, quotes

the report as follows: "Too Great Confidence."

"Too great confidence in the silence

of his fellowmen, especially the mem'

bers of the American Truth Society was probably the cause o his becom

ing quicKiy Known here.

The committee's statement continues: 1 "So the notorious American Truth Society, which so strenuously denied

its pro-German associations, figures as Indirectly linked up with Germany's secret representative. This society is still extant and Jenniah A. O'Leary, its

moving spirit, is now the editor of Bull, recently shut out of the mails for

publishing seditious matter."

Many investors, the committee states the seized papers show, are represented as having planned involving the use of devices of destruction. One entry is cited as follows: " 'June 15, 1915. Sender. G. S. Viereck. Contents, inquiry as to bombs; supply offer. Told to send further details." "Possibly the further details" the statement continues,' "are indicated in another entry of four months later: "'Sender Viereck. Contents, offer of picric acid." "Picric acid is a constituent of many high explosives." An entry entitled "pure war expenses" from the von Igel papers is made public by the committee as follows: "Edwin Emerson $1,000: Braum Gets His. "Fair play (Mr. Braum) $2,000. "Fair play (Mr. Braum) $1,500. "Marcus Braum, $1,000. "J. Archibald $5,000." The statement continues: "Concerning the identity of the last entry there might be room for doubt but for a signed receipts from J. F. J. Archibald, acknowledging the sum of $5,000 from tbe German embassy for propaganda work.'f The committee concludes Its expose as follows: "While chiefly concerned with mili

tary affairs, In Europe the representa

tives of a supposedly friendly nation

were keeping an interested watch on

our own activities in that line. A se

cret code message of April 11, 1916, signed '13232 46729 46919' addressed to von Igel to this effect: "Herewith respectfully send ' an ex

tract regarding the troops stationed in California and the armament of the coast fortifications.'"

Here is the only successful medium priced heater that burns any and all kinds of fuel And not only does it burn the coal, but every particle of combustible material contained in coal the gases for instance, which in nearly every heater are absolutely lost. These gases (which amount to about 40 per cent of the heat value of coal) will not burn unless mixed with highly heated oxygen. Our Hot Blast arrangement supplies the necessary highly heated oxygen, turning these gases into the most powerful roaring blue flames.

In this way the New Globe Hot Blast will generate from 40 to 50 per cent more heat than any other stove (on the same amount of coal).

We guarantee it to be the most powerful economical heater on earth.
