Discipline Impresses Commissioners.
The remarkable discipline prevalent in
Camp Ordway was one Of tho things
which impressed the board of Com
missioners Of the District of Colum-
bia most when they visited there
late yesterday afternoon. Com
missioner Newman. president OF the
board. declared last night that the work
of the District boys was remarkable.
He asserted that the Commissioners
were very much impressed by the fact
that the local citizen soldiers had been
In camp only six days and that the
discipline was perfect, and there was
lying anywhere about the camp.

of communication, five miles distant.
The main station of the Signal Corps
was established at place called Zoar
and on either flank were run lines, one
to Halltown on the branch Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad which runs
up the Potomac and the other at a point
on the Baltimore and Ohio main line in
the vicinity Of Shenandoah Junction. Be
tween these points there was a solid
front Of imaginary cavalry stretching five
miles.
All of the work this morning was to
be done In a rapid way, the reel cars
to trot their horses the whole time the
lines of communication were being laid.
The cavalry Of West Virginia was sup
posed to be advancing rapidly, and it
was necessary to get lines of the Mary

The Maryland cavalry was to destroy
the railroad lines and prevent the cav

until the Marylanders were safely be-
yond Harpers Ferry, where they were
to meet reinforcements.
The Signal Corps men were instructed
by the commander OF the supposed
army division to quickly establish COM
munications between the two railroad
lines. so that he could know just when
the rail communication was interrupt

1t is two weary years since the

children in her poor little home,
forecasts a bright future when
her husbands trial is past!

when she finally understood the
reason for my coming-"I hope
you think my Mendel is inno-

She spoke slowly in Russian,
not Yiddish, with the wistful dig
nifty of one desperately eager to
put an ill-important question.
"Da xonctchno!" I replied as
eagerly-which, by interpreta-
ton, means Indeed I dol"
The big gray eyes. sad and
faithful as a fine dogs eyes,
frightened a little.

determinedly audacious, that
you will tell how my Mendal is

An instant the wan face smiled
and age and long anxiety fell
from 1t as mask drops, leaving
it girlishly brave. yet timid, with
thin cheeks family flushed.
After a journey half around
the earth l had arrived at the
spot which now focuses the
worlds interest-the scene of a
so-called ritual murder and the
actual home of the victim.
Right and left wooded land and
the terraced graveyards of Kiev
stretched along bluffs command
ing the valley of the River Dhni-
ker. By a footpath, shiny and
precipitous, I had toiled around
the crater-like claypit where the
murdered Christian boy was
found and had climbed perilous
staircases of mere footholds cut
in glutinous clay, crept under Vi
brating car-tresles and come at
last to the crest of the barren
gray hill where Mendel Bells
lived with his little family
where wife and children now
await his return.
A poor house hardly more than
a plastered hut, yet the home or
Mendel Bells proves the charac-
ter of it's occupants. In the midst
of colorless desolation of bricx-
kilns and towering drying-sheds,
the little house stands alone, with
walls carefully whitened,
its narrow yard tidy and clean.
Within doors the three bleak
rooms are neat as hands can keep
them. OF furniture there could
hardly be less-a huge brick
stove. a table with five chairs, a
Connecticut CLOCK and a couple of
well-made beds.
