DUCKS ON THE TRACK.
Tame 'Quacks'' Cause Delay to Pitts
burg and Joplin Motor Car.

Galena. Kan, March 3.-Here is a
duck story as told by Conductor Claud
Briggs of the Girard run on the Joplin
& Pittsburg railway company:
His car. was coming towards Pitts
burg at night at about 1890 o'clock
and when it was near Dunkirk, Jim
my Ward, motorman, stopped the car.
Thinking that he had stopped the
car for one of the mine tracks that
crosses at that point, Conductor Briggs
''belled'' him to go ahead. The motor
man did not respond to the signal,
however, and Conductor Briggs got
down and went to the front and found
his motorman busy working to get
three tame ducks off the track. They
had apparently climbed up on the rail
for a roost, and the heat from their
bodies had caused their feet and
feathers to stick fast to the rail and
they were unable to release them
selves.
The conductor and motorman, how
ever, managed to get them loose and
clear of the track but it was not with
out the fowls losing a bunch of feath-
ers and some of the covering from the
bottom of their feet.

Supply company store in Penokee, in

GERMAN SKULLS
THICK ON GROUND
And Dead Lie Buried In
Shallow Graves.
FIERCE ADVANCE OF BR|TONS
German Line Gave Way Too
Quickly, According TO
English Officers.
AMONG THE FALLING SHELLS

Neuve Chapelle, France, via Lon
don, April 24-The grounds to the
west of this now shattered town of
Neuve Chapelle, from which the
British drove the Germans in the
middle of March with such terrible
loss of life for both sides, is literally
cobbled with German skulls. The
dead lie buried in shallow graves
everywhere, and the vicinity is
strewn with wreckae and debris.
The British have made it as tidy
as they can, but beneath many of
the trenches and dugouts six inches
of bayonet will meet the resistance
of cloth and human flesh. while in
the No Mans Land, between the new
British line and the German trenches
TO the east, bodies still lie thick.
Neither the Germans nor the Brit
ish dare attempt to remove the
corpses, and unless some situation
develops to alter the relative posi-
ton of opposing lines, they are
likely still to be there when sum-
mer comes. Many of the trenches and
dugouts where the men live un-
willingly, harbor the bodies of
thousands of men, which were COW
cred with earth after the Brit
ish rush. Many have been buried by
both the Germans and the British,
and white crosses today dot the
landscape between the lines.
So quickly did the British break
through the German line that full
details of the action are only now
becoming known. even to the men
who participated. The sudGenness
of the advance was such that many
of the men We're SO dazed that all
they knew was that they got
through. In fact. British staff OH
GERS laughingly assert that II was
too quick for the best results, the
German line giving way so suddenly
that the British found themselves
like a man who hits his opponent
with all HIS might and encounters
but slight resistance and is there
fore thrown of his balance

cerely we coulG break the German
line if We wanted to, and that is a
mighty comfortable feeling"
The correspondent was entertain
ed on the British front by an Off
Ger in his dugout. Men from the
trenches obvious of shells swishing
overhead, streamed from the
trenches eager to gather souvenirs
and to take part in entertaining the
visitors. They swarmed about the
entrance to the dugout until the Of
icer, in tones of fatherly annoy
ance, cried out: Get down there,
you chaps, or you will have the
Germans tossing a shell among u.s."
During the informal conversation
one private exhibited a German
cartridge from which the bullet had
been withdrawn and then re-insert-
ed with the square end out. He
said they found quantities of cart
ridges SO treated, and that they
made bad wounds. Another man
made reference to the story that
the Germans were using shells of
American manufacture, projectiles
marked as having been manufacture
ed in the United States having been
found.
While the party of visitors sat
viewing the ruins of Neuve Chapelle
and tracing the line of the old Ger
man trenches, which easily could be
distinguished, due to the fact that
the Germans used blue sandbags, a
German shell struck and exploded
not far to the right. The group
ducked, but not one moved otherwise.
This shell was followed quickly by
another, and the third struck the
edge of the roof of the dugout,
making the utensils inside clatter
and dance and showering the now
crouching party with mud.
The officer in charge thereupon
suggested tea inside the dugout. The
invitation was accepted. Excellent
tea was passed around, for the
British soldier, especially the Off
GERS, wants tea on the firing line as
much as at home.
Every man was clean-shaved, and
although many had not had a real
bath in week, all looked clean and
neat. During the tea an energetic
young officer ventured outside. Soon
he came back smiling and holding
silver of iron in his hand. Here
is a piece of the last shell to ex-
plode," he said. "It is still warm.
Keep it with my compliments as a
souvenir"
The shells the Germans were
using against this trench were Of
comparatively small caliber. The
Englishmen call them"pip squeaks."
In spite of this contemptous
name they are not really Ignored.
One pip squeak" could easily kill
twenty-five men. or more. II II hit
