Pou, who is being driven by no means to extend himself in the congressional campaign, is neverthe less seeking to know by what occult and esoteric practice his opponent, J. J. Jenkins, can conduct a campaign without expense. Mr. Pou is in Wake now. He re cently saw the published statement of Mr. Jenkins in which the Repub lican candidate against Mr. Pou rep resented Mr. Jenkins as having spent nothing in the campaign. "I had al ready reported more than $600,"' Mr. Pou said, "and it will cost me about $1,200 before I get through. I would love to know how the thing is. done, for I have never been able to conduct any sort of campaign without spend ing money." Mr. Jenkins is a banker and doubt less has learned how to make money even when doing his best to get rid of it in the most expeditious way. Mr. Pou is a successful politician and successful politicians and money no more mate than the old issue of poli ticians and pure spring water.

General sir Sam , Hughes, Canadian' : minister of militia and defense, is not jealous of "Foghorn's" distinction. The rawest rookie . in the rearmost ranks of the Dominion, forces proclaims U on the fighting line and lOoks- up to this world-wandering scion of the clan Mc Donald as a shining example of what t.a lowly "buck" can do in trying times like these. ... .. For "Foghorn" came over as a pri vate himself just two short years ago. Some of his homefoiks told him he was a "darned old fool" to enlist at 53. But "Foghorn" had been a .mi ner all his days. He had hit the western trail from sun-baked Bato pilas in the wilds of Mexico, to the snow-shrouded valleys Of the Yukon', and he knew what perseverance and pluck and courage and sacrifice could do. . He knew he would "make the grade" and so did a great crowd of his friends who gathered a day or two ago to ''wet" that new third stripe and; crown on the cuffs of his khaki army jacket. He was back from the front to receive this latest promo tion, and he was toasted a major of His Majesty's forces. 'Foghorn" was oorn Neil Roderick McDonald, but there are compara tively few who know him by that dis tinguished name. IVs just plain "Pncrhnm" nnwadavs. from one end of the trenches to the ether, and one earful of that low rumbling, window shattering, rock-shivering voice ex- ntnao all nnssihle doubt as to the derivation of the nickname. There are plenty of Germans who know "Foghorn," too. In the days of the deathly deadlock, when trenches crept closer and closer together, he was one of those who burrowed be neath the earth and set off great mines under the enemy. He had not been a mining engineer in vain. Often his voice would o booming across "No Man's Land," hurling pictur esque invective at the Germans. Not to know "Foghorn" McDonald is to miss one of the big human per sonalities of this war. It is not diffi cult to realize what a tower of en couragement and strength be , is to the soldiers a., the front. "He is the sort, of officer whose men would follow him' to the gates of hell itself and walk in. laughing," de clared Major "Eddie" Holland, a long time friend and a "V. C." of the South African war. "And speaking of hell," he added, "there may or -may not be something in the fact that Foghorn belongs to the Black Devils." That is the name the Germans have given the Eighth Battalion, Canadian Infantry, and the battalion has adopt ed as its insignia a small black imp dancing in glee. They were delight ed with the apellation, and are .living up to it according to all reports from the Somme. It has ben said of "Foghorn" thai "he's not afraid of any man and very few women." His home is in the great American west. He has lived much in the United 'States and almost every province of Canada can claim him as her own. His heart is as big as the world in which he has lived- and he has a way of calling a superior officer "Bill," or "Jim." or "George," and referring to a corporal as a "brother officer," that is iuite baffling to the Englishman's idea of discipline. Someone spoke to "Fog" about it. "Well, sir," he explained, "it's a man's war, by God, sir, and I respect every mother's son who's out there doing his bit. 1 was a. full-fledged buck' myself once, and i know what j they have to go through." i "Foghorn" has been serving fof ! some time as transport officer of the "Black Devils," and has been rimnr about the front lines, on what he d.e scribes himself as "a mighty fine hoss." Where he got the horse he will not tell you. "It wouldn't be passed by the censor," he says. A good transport officer tries to keep his losses at a minimum and to make the deficiencies good as quickly as he can. " Foghorn" had his men in the Black Devils trained to the min ute in that respect. "One night," he said, 'we. we're. tak ing 'ome load 3 of ammunition away up in front. . It was blacker than the ace of spades and if, you struck r. match youM get your eye shot oat But in the midst of all this blackness and! the. shelling wT were getting 1 heard one of mv men say to his part ner, "Keep your eye out for a good, boss, Bill. This ought to be a good night to get one.'" "Foghorn served for a time as an officer in the 'United "States Army the Third Volunteer Cavalry of the Spanish war. "I think the officer commanding1 bur regiment had fifteen or twenty million dollars' said "Foghorn." "I had a dollar and thlrtyrfive :ents my self." r .-.':. A day or two agc$ a; staff colonel.

A "brass hat" is the army name for all staff officers, and it comes, of course, from the abundance of gold braid they wear on their eaps. Someone asked how things were going at the front. "Going?" said "Fog"; "why the boys are getting so gay out there one of our battalions came parading up to Ihe front line trenches the other day with a brass band playing for all it was worth. They were right where you could get killed any minute, too, and even my old hoss thought they were crazy. "Guess I'll be getting back to the j front soon myself," he concluded, with a sigh; "this quiet life of Lon don is getting on 'my nerves." Standard Basket Law. Washington, D. C, Nov. 1.
