Mr. Maynard said today that he had

as Knapp was the only man at the

the Abilene girl who was at the post.

Then he reached for his gum. But it
wasn't there He pounded the box
and pushed the slot some more.
Pretty Girl Forgot.
Possibly the lady who sells tickets
at Caldwell thought Haythorn was
mailing horse bills on the wall. She
looked out of her cage and asked Hay
thorn the cause of his excitement. He
told her that he had bucked the slot
machine with real money and didn't
get returns The lady remarked-in
a rather Ianguid and unconcerned
slot machine wasn't working that day
and that there was no gum there. She
didn't think to give the customer his

CoNSTANTTNOPLE. CBy courier 10
Dedeagatch and thence by mail to
New York;, July S,-Somewhere
down in the interior Of Syria are sew
eIal thousand German officers and
men who must remain there either
until the war ends or until Kaiser Will
helm changes his mind. 1t is their
duty to annoy the Suez canal.
With neither sufficient men or suf-
heient war material at their dispos-
al to do any damage they must new
ertheless make enough showing to
force the English at all times to keep
large contingents of troops in Eu-
rope for the defense of the canal
They must hold themselves back in
the desert out of harms way, subsist-
ing as best they can. until favor
able moment presents itself. Then
they must swoop down on the canal
and by capturing some lone vessel or
in some other way obstruct naviga-
tion even if only for a few hours
Then they must dash back into the
safety of the interior Of the desert.
These are the orders;
These men are the remnants of-the
tragic Turko-German expedition
which was sent last January against
the canal.
As a recompense for their faithful
ness an officer or a soldier is ocea-
sionally given permission to come up
to Constantinople for a renewal Of
contact with civilization From these
officers and men I learned a few still
unpublished details Of the disaster Of
last January.
When the expedition finally ap-
preached the canal after having
pushed its way across the desert for
three weeks carrying pontoons for
crossing the canal and transporting
the bulk of its water in tin cans, the
plan Of attack decided upon was that
usually employed by the Austrians,
Simultaneous attacks were to be be-
gun by the right and left wings in
order to district and engage the en-
emy and then the main body Of
troops comprising the center was to
make the dash for crossing the canal.
TO the surprise of all the attacks
met with such little resistance that
the center in its mad rush to get
across did not stop to build a pom
toon bridge but leaping into the
pontoons themselves rowed to the
other side. There the mystery was
explained, Along the front of the
canal were found whole lines of
trenches which the English evident
ly had abandoned in haste at the ap-
proach of the expedition. Into these
the Turks piled and began at once
establishing their position when sud
denly the English artillery stationed
miles away but having the precise
range of the trenches poured into
them a terrific fire.
A mad rus wis made for the 9TH
er side of the canal where the sIrvi
vors gathered up the wounded and
loading them onto camels pushed
back into the desert to a point where

partment of the American Protestant

wounded were taken care of until il

A belated message, 5S years old,
reached the relatives of the late
James Riggin, in Laurel last week,
when, according to a promise made
on the battlefield, William Thurston,
civil war veteran of Philadelphia,
visited the relatives of Riggin in
Laurel, and told Of Higgins death in
the battle of Gettysburg, and his last
message TO them.
Thurston and Riggin became good
friends during the war, and, as COM
rades, promised each other that
should one be killed in battle the sur
viyor would search out the family of
the other and tell them of his death.
Riggin was killed at Gettysburg,
fighting by Thurston's side.
After the war, Thurston sought
diligently, but found no trace Of Rig
gins relatives until a short time ago
wher, accidentally, he found that
Mrs F. B. Sirman Of Laurel is a
