Back in April when the federal
troops first occupied the strike dis
trict Of southern Colorado, after the
state militia had been recalled. the
Chronicle News predicted that it
would only be a short time before
the unionists would be finding fault
with the federals, in the same man
ner as they did with the state troops.
While there is not so much bitterness
manifested by the union critics who
carefully refrain from the vile abuse
heaped upon the militia and its Off
GERS, the same feeling of antagonism
is held against the boys Of Uncle Sam
as against the Colorado citizen SOL
diers.
Last night the Free Press indulged
in an uncalled for attack upon the
federal troops under Major Cabell at
Ludlow. because Major Cabell, who is
in touch with conditions and fair
minded. saw fit to restrain the ne
farious activity Of the female pickets
who have been running amuck and
because Col. J. Lockett, the command
ing officer upheld the major.
Colonel Lockett apparently had the
good judgment to understand what

London, Aug. 2S.-1:30 p. M
The correspondent at Antwerp OF
the Evening News telegraphs that a
Zeppelin a1rsliip Which flew over
Antwerp last night was brought
down by Belgian artillery fire six
miles outside of Antwerp. The crew
OF Is men were taken prisoners. This
dispatch evidently refers to the same
airship reported earlier in the day
from Antwerp as having flown over
the city last night.
Another dispatch from Antwerp
says this Zeppelin, before it was
brought to earth. succeeded in drop

bv these missiles was situated only
300 yards from the palace of kine
Albert. Seven persons were killed
and six seriously injured by this ex-
plosion. Some other houses were
half demolished by the falling
bombs.
One bomb partly wrecked the hos
pital of St. Elizabeth, but fortunate
ly there were no patients in the
building. The bombs exploded with
terrific force and threw the inhabit-
ants of Antwerp into a state border
ing on panic.
There is intense Indignation in

pital which was flying the Red Cross

Major Cabell was doing and would
not be dictated to or bulldozed by
the union leaders. That is the spirit
of the American soldier and fighting
man. That is what makes the United
States army the greatest fighting ma
chine in the world. That is what
makes the United States army Off
GERS respected and looked up to by
the nations. When they know they
are right they 60 ahead. That wins
battles and brings results.
1t is unnecessary to print any
statement of the federal army Off
GERS at Ludlow or Trinidad. The peo-
pie know that Major Cabell in what.
ever action he took was right and
that whatever action he may take
hereafter will be justified. Major Ca
bell has been too long in the serv-
ice of his country-he is too good
soldier man to act hastily or unwise-
ly. Colonel Lockett has worn a uni
form too long and handled too many
situations that demanded cool judg.
ment and reasoning to trip up on
the skirt of female picket.
The fact is the unionists expect
