 T knew man-never mind who or what he was. He was uneducated. the sort of average American countryman who is the staple human product of this nation. With good fortune he might have become anything. With bad fortune he might have sunk to any depth His will was weak, his senses stronger than his character At the age of thirty he was a tramp, plodding along country road in Car olina. Unwashed, unshaven, hungry, his self-respect gone. he would have run from a barking dog or cringed for a meal to any housewife.
 And then the moment came It was early spring and the orchards were aglow with peach blossoms. As he passed outside a long line of blos- som-bearing trees he saw a girl stand, ing on the other side of the fence. her arms full of spraying boughs She was about sixteen. beautiful. innocent, and good A simple-hearted country girl, in short, born into just such cir cumstances as himself.

In an open letter addressed to the ,O00 engineers and other employees of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad, Howard Elliott and J. II. Hustis, respectively president and vice president of the company, appeal to the employees for ihelp. "We need your help, and we wish to help you. Each must help the other if this road Is to be run safely,' the letter says.
 The officials urge upon the engineers especially the need of studying the rules for the operation of trains, de- ciaring that the Bar Harbor express wreck "would not have occurred had the rules of the railroad been observed strictly and good judgment, born of experience, been displayed .

Garrison Plans to Make Post One
of the Biggest.
FIT. RILEY MAY LOSE SCHOOL
General Wood Severely Criticizes
Leavenworth Army Prison
and FavOrs More
Lemiency.

Leavenworth, Aug. 27.-Enlarge
ment OF Fort Leavenworth to one
of the largest military establish
ments in the country will follow
the visit here yesterday of Secre-
: tary of War Garrison, according tc
statements reputed to the secretary
of war.
When the secretary OF war start
ed his tour of the army posts of the
country 1t was understood it, was
for the purpose of cutting down the
number of forts and to concentrate
the entire fighting force of the ma
ton in dozen or SO posts. Leaven-
worth is to be one Of these.
Reforms to tighten the burden Of
army regulation offenders and to
increase the enlistment in the
United States army are also expect
ed as a result of the visit of Secre-
tary of War Garrison and General
Leonard Wood, chief of staff. They
inspected Fort LeaVenworth and the
United States military prison.
General Wood was severe in his
criticism of the army prison and
requested of Garrison permission to
put back into the standing army
hundreds of men imprisoned for
petty offenses. Secretary Garrison
seemed to favor the plan for whole
sale pardons and action along this
line Is expected soon.
The secretary said stripes would
be taken off prisoners and General
Wood said the men would be taken
out of cells and given outdoor work.
Junction. City, Aug. 27.-That
Fort Riley is to lose the mounted
service school seems very likely. It's
removal to some point in Virginia |
was one of the chief topics of con-
during the visit of Sec
rotary OF War Garrison at the post
and it is understood that Mr. Gar
rison favors the transfer. The re-
moval project was under consider
alton even during the term of of
lice of Secretary stinson; who visit
ed the post a year ago, and it is
said at the post that a tract Of land
purchased in Virginia will
be the site Of the school in case the
plans are carried out.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TODAY.
Huerta May Concede, If Not, Nego-
ae tiatiOns End.

Washington. Aug. 27.-The dila-
tory attitude Of the Huerta govern
ment gave administration officials
hope that some concessions might
be made to the American proposals
for peace in Mexico, but indications
pointed to a final ending of the me-
gotiations today when President
Wilson is scheduled to read his mes
sage to both houses of congress, de-
filming the policy which he believes
the United States should pursue to-
ward its southern neighbor.
The 24-hour postponement of the
presentation of the message, which
was to have been read yesterday,
was agreed to after joint request
from FREDERICK Gamboa, Mexican
foreign minister, and John Lind,
President Wilson's personal repre-
sentative in Mexico.
