SHIPPING Is HER UNEoIPLoYED


The spectacle Of the windy city.
Chicago, dumping its unemployed
into Northern Indiana,-South Bend
being apporuoned its share. - is
enough 10 make US grit our teeth. but
it is an old custom that Chicago
merely lacks the moral stamina to
overcome
1t hasn't been so very many years
since we too We're escorting hoboes to
the outskirts of the city and letting
them go on their promise not to re-
turn, and similar deals are occasion
ally heard of even yet. as between
the Judge and certain derelicts, at the
bar of the city court. More than one
man escapes Jail by promising 10 leave
town. Chicago regards all Of its IN
employed as hoboes and that they
should be furnished transportation to
some point in Northern Indiana, to
get them out of the way, is merely
carrying the application TO the limit.
Besides Chicago will say, South
Bend especially deserves them. Our
boast that we have $1j,000,00O of
war orders here, seems to justify
Chicago i'm thinking South Bend is in
need of extra help in order to fill
them. But the point is that we don't.
There is more labor competition here
now than there ought 10 be. If South
Bend ever becomes the thriving in
dustrial community that it ought to
be. conditions must be created that
Will provide more jobs than men, and
thrust the competition upon the other
shoulder
Which suggests something for the
Chamber of Commerce. now that it's
Federation Of Social Service campaign
is well out of the way. We hope the
Chamber Will get busy and give us
such competition among employers,
that labor will have plenty of money
and there will be less need of a FEEDER
alton for Social Service in years to
come. Neither will we need to main
tain soup houses for Chicago's un-
employed but can put them to work
only this does not excuse Chicago.
The great big baby that boasts of
1000, coo and more of souls, ought to
be figuring out some way of caring
for its own tramps-the same as we
hope to do sometime.

These efforts met with speedy repulse.
On the 18th Smith returned toward
Memphis, reaching there July %.
Comments on the Battle.
Smiths men had mo Notifications.
They had an excellent position on a
knoll almost clear of trees. Forests
men had the cover of timber behind
which to form lines of attack. A por-
ton of Smiths line found some shelter
behind a fence. and in other places
there were bushes and tall standing
corn to shield his men from view.
Forests men were lighting on their
own soil. But the usual dash with
which Forests men attacked and
which he himself always encouraged
amounted to rashness in front of
Smiths line. Forrest himself describ-
ed it as rashness. In almost every line
of Forests report of the battle are
found the terms furious c~annonade,"
terrific fire Of small arms,'' "unproft-
able slaughter" In the face of all this
his men were compelled to fall back"
and even to retreat" Forests adj
jutant general and biographer said that
his chief found 1t impossible to entice
his enemy from cover or to assume the
offensive.
The Confederate historian also
writes of "scorching fire" and terrific
torrent of fire" poured upon the Com
federates by Smiths soldiers. In one
of Forests brigades four field officers
were killed and six wounded. Whole
batteries were destroyed. Forests
men were Mississippians and Tennes-
seeans and familiar to that climate.
Mowers men were from Illinois and
Missouri. Mowers men reached the
field through marshes on foot, while
Forests men rode there and were
fresh. Forests force numbered 1000

Comparison OF dates and movements
shows hat Hunters West Virginia
forces were at one time directly upon
Early's flank after he crossed the Po-
tomac and might have been thrown
across his pathway to the Shenandoah
valley. The night of the 10Th, while
Sullivan was at Hillsboro and only ten
miles from Early's camp at L~eesburg,
Wright had not yet crossed the Poto-
mac to Virginia.
Had Wright and Sullivan come to an
understanding Sullivan, with the aid Of
Duties cavalry, might have used the
1900 men at command with some eff
feet upon Early's route of march from
Leesburg toward the Blue Ridge. The
evening of the 10Th Wright learned at
Poolesville that Sullivan was moving
by way of Hillsboro toward Leesburg.
Next morning he crossed the Sixth
corps to Virginia and started for Lees
burg. Meanwhile the Nineteenth corps,
from Louisiana, had arrived, bringing
5000 re-enforcements. The night of
the 10th Wright encamped three miles
beyond Leesburg.
Sullivan, on his part, remained at
Hillsboro from the night of the 18th
till afternoon of the 10th. the day that
Crook assumed command of all Hun
ter's field forces. Now, while Wright
that morning, leaving Poolesville, had

Q o'clock a Kentucky brigade, led by
Colonel w. w. Faulkner, charged the
batteries, fighting on foot. as did For
rests entire command that day. After
checking the Kentuckians Smiths
men charged them and drove them
back with great slaughter. Faulkner
was killed. Forrest appeared upon the
scene, seized the colors and appealed
to the men to rally, but it was useless.
They had to be withdrawn from the
field. Forrest changed his mind about
attacking these batteries and called off
another brigade which he had ordered
In to support the Kentuckians.
General ]. A. Mowers division of
Federals received the brunt Of the
Confederate attack. As viewed through
Federal eyes, the performance of For
rests men was just what might have
been expected under the circum-
stances. They were not trained to
fight real battles.
"Howling Like Comanches."
General Smiths description suggests
the fighting of a mob rather than of
an army, although valor was not want
ing in individuals. He wrote.
s"The battle opened by the enemy at
tempting to secure a commanding posi-
ton on our left. They drove In our
skirmishers and were allowed to come
to within about 100 yards of the main
line, which was the First brigade of
the Third division at this point, when
they rose and delivered one volley at
short range and then charged with
the bayonet, driving the enemy, with
heavy loss, from the field, killing more
even as they were running than they
did in the first volley. Here Colonel
Faulkner of Kentucky was killed.
Passing toward u right, they rallied
at the edge of the timber and were re-
enforced and supported by their whole
available force and once more returned
to the attack, which this time was
made on the First division, Brigadier
General Mower commanding. At first
their lines could be distinguished
separately, but as they advanced they
lost all semblance of lines and the at
tack q MOB OF huge magnl-
tude. There was no skirmish line or
main line or reserve, but 1t seemed to
be a foot race to see who should reach
us first. They were allowed to ap-
proach. yelling and bowling like Co.
manches, to within canister range,
when the batteries Of the First divi-
sion opened upon them. Their charge
was evidently made with the inten-
ton to capture our batteries and was
CALAMITY made. but without order, or
~ganization or skill. They would come
forward and fall back, rally and for
ward again. with the like result. Their
determination may be seen from the
fact that their dead were found within
thirty yards of our batteries"
Colonel Faulkner fell while leading
