THE FIRST WOMAN TOWN
MARSHAL IN TEXAS

Arlington, Texas, Oct. 10. Mrs.
Carrie Rogers, the first woman town
marshal in Texas, has nad two
weeks of responsibility and has de-
cided she likes it very we'll. Arling-
ton likes Mrs. Rogers, especially
younger Arlington, for she has given
twelve acres of her own land to the
public for recreation ground and a
place for spooners to spoon.
rYou see," she explained, there
are too many good looking bachelors
in Arlington, and by furnishing a
place for the young couples to spoon
hope to alter that condition.
Mrs. Rogers appointment was an
indirect outcome of the adoption of
the commission form of government
for Arlington after three unsuccess-
full attempts. The substantial busi-
ness men of the town, who had been
back of the commission gov eernment
move, urged the mayor to appoint
her.

FIVE HUNDRED HOMESEEKERS
REACH JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, Oct. 10.-Nearly
500 homeseekers from the North and
West arrived in this State this week
over the Southern Railway. Four
teen extra cars attached to the
Royal Palm train brought them to
Jacksonville and they have left for
intermediate points in the State.
The passenger traffic is also becom-
ing heavy over the Royal Palm
route, 1t being necessary to have
two sections to the train that the
crowds might be accommodated. q.
From every source comes the news
that heavy passenger season is ex-
pected for Florida. Knoxville and
Chicago are among the foremost who
are gateways for Florida travel. st.
Louis handles practically all of the
traffic from the West and the rail-
road officials there declare that this
is one of the earliest starts in a long
time.

HE HAS 81 NNSMEN
IN GERMAN ARMY

New Orleans, La, Oct. To-
David Fink Of Gretna, across the
river from this city, has fiftyseven
nephews and grand nephews in the
German army.
"Only the birth records of the
province in which many families
live could tell positively how many
first and second cousins of mine are
today bearing arms for the father
land" said Mr.. Fink. 81 came from
a large family in which there is a
preponderance Of boys. All Of these
have served or are serving their
time in the army, and, with the eA-
ception of my uncles, are still sub
ject to call, most of them belonging
to the first and second reserves. ="
While Mr.. Fink is thus shown to
come from distinctly fighting FAM
lily, he himself is man of peace.
He denounces war vigorously ana
repeatedly.
"None but a German" he says, "a
man born and raised under the Ger
man military rule and with blood
kin still under that rule can realize
the terrible toll taken of the man
hood of Germany by this war. "It Is
a war that unjoints the bones and
rends asunder the sinews Of German
commerce as we'll as German society.
My oldest sister, now in Berlin,
owns large express and commission
business, which she operates with
the aid Of three sons, who have been
released, but who are still in the re-
serves. She has two sons still in
the army. And thus It is all over
the empire. Everything Is sacrificed
to the beast of war when 1t breaks
loose.
Mr.. Fink, though native Of Ger
many, has been in America since he
was a youth.

Belgians' last and strongest /citadel,
has fallen. The moral effect Of the
city's fall is not minimized in Eng

1t is said here that the German
newspapers are predicting Ant

against England. With Antwerp
taken the Germans will be able to
detach their considerable besieging
force and transfer it to their right
wing in France, which is sorely
pressed. 1t is estimated that there
are 100000 Germans in Belgium.
How much damage has been done
Antwerp is unknown; some refugees
