CHILDREN WERE
NEAR To INJURY
Frightened Hors Dashes
Across Platform and Almost
Over Them.

The two children of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. Bender of Grand Rapids, had a
marrow escape from death this morn
ing, when the delivery horse of Ar
mour & Co., alarmed at the noise of
an automatic riverter, plunged across
the platform Of the Northwestern
station and over the steps where the
children were seated. The horse
struck the lower step and slipped off
missing the children by about six
inches.
The horse had been tied to a
post ON the west side of the plat
form when he was frightened. 1t
broke the fastening and ram stra1ght
across the platform. The noise
brought everyone out from inside
the station, but the accident passed
so swiftly that the horse had been
stopped before damage was done. Mr.
and Mrs. Bender and the children
were on their way to Hatley to at
tend the wedding of Mr.. Bender

POLICE MATR0N

The statement made i'm the Daily
Reporter April 20, that the city fed
eration had engaged the services OF
Mrs. A. C. Smith, as police woman
was premature, aus matters had not
gone that far
We have discussed this policy OF
protection for some time and have
appealed to the mayor Tor his assist
ance i'm obtaining someone who could
efficiently protect the girls and boys
of our city who apparently need a re
straining hand that has not yet been
felt. We have a crTfeW ordinance,
and we are going to have it enforc-
ed. We hope by that means ITO pre-
vent boys and girls under the age
limit from so croWding the depot
platforms at might, that they are a
nuisance to the travelling public and
a menace to their own moral well
fare. We want to keep boys and
girls of tender years out Of the
parks at might. And we want 20
prevent "Mashing." 1t lis movement
recognized in other cities.
We expect to pay all of the ex-
pense of anyone that does this work.
Why, if we are working for bet
ter city, for better citizens, should
anyone refuse to- grant us that right
to protect the city's children?

To MEET ATTACK
Gen. Mas at Head of Big Force
OF Huerta's Regulars, Mass

Thought Near.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-War, or
peace with Mexico tonight admitted
ly hangs by a slender thread. Fif--
teen three inch papus have been land
cd from the fleet to meet an expect
ed attack, which may occur at amy
time
Brig Gen. Funston from Vera Cruz
has reported to the war department
that am increasing large number of
federal troops under Gen. Maas are
being massed between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City. Administration officials
here frankly fear an attack upon
Vera Cruz. Should such am attack be
made it was predicted here that Gen.
Funston would be ordered to make an
immedta advance backed by mar
ines and bluejackets.
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan held a two hour confer

AT it's close Secretary Bryan aTerred

CIVIL WAR AT CLIMAX
FIFTYYEARS AGO.

Fifty years ago this month two
great campaigns of the Civil War
were just getting under way. In the
West Sherman was beginning the
hard march against Albania; i'm the
East Grant was marchalling his host
for, the bloody campaign into the
Wilderness.
In both armies WISCONSIN WAS well
represented. Sherman counted among
the veterans who aided him to oust
Hood from Atlanta fourteen Wiscon-
sin regiments of infantry, two bat
teries of artillery and one regiment
of cavalry These numbers DO not
include the organizations which as
the army advanced were left behind
to GUARD the long Cracker line
With Grant in the grim struggles OF
the Wilderness were eight Wisconsin
regiments of infantry and one bait
terry of artillery.
ALI of these regiments were, more
over, full fighting units. Wisconsin,
unlike most of the other States, con-
sistentIy followed the policy of fiji
ing up depleted regiments before
onganizing new ones In his Memoirs,
written ten years after the war, Gen--
eral Sherman comments approvingly
1pon this policy. 81 remember" he
writes. '"that Wisconsin kept hen
reglinents filled with recruits, where
ais other States generally filled up
their quotas by new regiments, and
the result was that we estimated
Wisconsin regiment equal to an ordi,
nary brigade"
The campaigns thus inauguratec
by Grant and Sherman in May, 1854
mark the climax of the Civil War
The fierce contest which ended with
the capture of Atlanta opened to the
| invaders the hitherto undisturbeo
granaries of the Confederacy and pay
ed the way for the crushing March
to the Sea- Grants stubborn adj
vance through, the terrible days,or the
| Wilderness opened the Confedera1e
capital to direct assault without ex
posing Washington. When these sue
| cesses had been won the end of the
war was at hand
