1700 LIVES MAY HAVE
 BEEN LOST IN EASTLAND

Latest reports indicate that as many as 17OO may have been lost in the disaster with the Eastland in the Chicago river. It is thot that there were 1000 more on the boat than the law specified. The ballast tanks had not been filled because the company desired to carry so large number of passen- gers.
 All of the evidence collected in the case will be turned over to the federal grand jury, summoned by United States District Judge K. M. Landis to meet today.
 Secretary of Commerce William c. Redfield has been sent to the scene of the disaster by president Wilson to conduct an investigation.

Checkerboard of War Man of Los Angeles Times on Battle fields of Europe.

Harry c. Carr, author of the popular and extensively read t'Checkerboard of the War" articles in the Los Angeles Times, who is now in Europe studying the war situation and obtaining first hand information relative to the great conflict, will shortly commence the publication in The Times of series of accurate, impartial and graphic descriptions of the gigantic struggle.
 MT. Carr is widely known as a brilliant, versatile writer. and a close student of military affairs and his articles written from various European cities undoubtedly will be valuable contribution to the literature of the war.
 It is not MT. Carr's intention to visit the trenches of the eontending armies, but his articles, which will be striking feature of the Sunday issues of The Times for several weeks to comic, will deal with every aspect of the war.
 The military, naval, political, and commercial angles of Europe's saturnalia of violence, as will as its grim humor, will all be depicted in MT. Carr's inimitable style.
 The tour of Europe that will be made by MT. Carr, as a representa- tive of the Los Angeles Times, is another proof of that great news papers enterprise, and of its deter imitation to keep its readers fully informed of all the momentous hap penings in the world.

he had given his bride-to-be, so af-

tional reputation, who was commits
stoned by the United States govern
ment to study the great parks of Eu-
rope, that he became eccentric to such
degree that his wife, Eugene, said
she could not live with him. s
The story Of the kiss and what it
led to was told to Supreme Court JUS
tice Blanchard by pretty young
woman, to annul the marriage. Mrs.
Solotaroff traced her husbands trouble
to the kiss that he gave her just be-
fore he asked her to marry him.
''He took me home that night" said
Mrs. Solotaroff. LAS he was leaving

been going together for eight years,
and l had never allowed him to kiss
me before that" she continued BASH
