SHIPMENT OF HORSES
TO FRENCH FRONT

Oklahoma City, Oct 2S-Twenty-
four hundred head of horses moved
out of Oklahoma City Thursday or
five special trains, and within a few
weeks will be doing caval.y duty
and artillery duty on the French
front, where, to use a slang express
sion, a horses life isn't worth "thiB
ty cents" The average life of a horse
earlier in the war was found to be
about five or six days. 1t is a t"ife
longer than that now, owing to the
fact that the fighting is mainly ron
the trenches.
The mammoth contract rcr supply
ing army horses for the French was
handled by w. T. Hales, horse and
mule dealer and for several days
his buyers have been Shipping horses
into the stockyards from all over tne
southwest. Mr.. Hales says that ow-
ing to the fact that the wa" has set
tlSu UONH W DuSlHtSS DdSlS' IL
was forced to buy the animals at $50
per head less than any previous con.
tract he has filled. He said the
horses obtained were just as good as
those that went at first, and the fact
that they can be bought cheaper is
an indication that there are plenty of
horses in the country.
Loading OF the horses began at :.30
o'clock Wednesday afternoon az the
Union stockyards and at 1'3O Thurs
day morning the first foi, special
trains. carrying 1850 head, mad been
loaded. The fifth train, carrying $50
head was sent out today
The Frisco railroad handled thirty
seven cars in two special trains.
while the Katy sent out twc trans
of a cars early Thursday morning
and one more Thursday afternoon.
The Katy trains will haul the ship-
ment to st. Louis and frow there 1t
will be carried over the Southern
lines to Norfolk, Va. The Frisco
trains will go to Memphis over the
Frisco, thence over the Southern
lines to Washington, d. c., and from
there to New York, via the Penn
sylyania.
This is the largest shipment of
horses ever made from Oklahoma in
one day, although smaller shipments
are being made all the time. Most Of
the horses were well broken, but oc-
casiOnally the leaders would encoun-

MEASURE OF PRAISE
DUE CAPT. GIBSON
DISARMAMENT OF Company Would Be
Backward Step-Patriotic Duty to
Support Organization.
litor Of The Reformer:

Editor of The Reformer:
The acceptance by +. w. Gibson of
the captaincy of Company / should not
pass unnoticed by the people of Brat
tleboro. His personal sacrifice, prompt
ed by patriotism and public spirit, has
kept the company in Brattleboro when
it was practically settled that the COM
pany be disbanded and company al
ready was signed in one of the north
ern towns.
The disbandment of our local com
pany would certainly be step back
ward, and instead of the townspeople
being Indifferent about the local mill
tia they should give it the greatest as
sistance and backing. The time has
come when these matters cannot be
looked at lightly, and the same spirit
should he shown as in former times
when the militia was looked upon as
the guardian of American principles
have little doubt but that the citi,
zens, when awake to the situation. will
arise and do their part, giving Cap.
tain Gibson and the company their
moral, civil and financial support
which is a patriotic duty.
Yours truly,

NEW YORK, July 21.-Serious riot
ing occurred early today around the

Bayonne hospital suffering from in
iuries. The injured include both riot
ers and police. It was stated that the
guards did not fire until the mob at
tackled them with sticks and had fired
several pistol shots.
The guards then responded with a
round from their revolvers. Prepara-
tions were made at the plant for fight
ing the rioters with water from fire
hose should any further attacks oc-
eur.
Gen. Manager Clifford of the plant
repeated today his statement that the
company would listen to any request OF
demand of its employees, but had re.
ceived none. The strike, he said, had
| been fomented by outsiders.

Labor Leaders Claim They
Will Force Shutdown of
MunitiOn Factories
PICKETS STOPPED
MEN GOING TO WORK
Trouble Seemed Imminent at One
Time, But the Strikers and Their
Sympathizers Were Dispersed -
Some Guards Quit Work.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July 21.-
Strike calls resulted today in the ma
chinists throwing down their tools in
4 number of shops here and walking
out. Labor leaders claimed that they
had taken 40. additional men from
two plants doing work for the Rem
ington Arms and Ammunition COM
pany, that pickets had succeeded in
keeping men from work in the new
plant of the Remington concern, that
100 men on the night shift of the
Union Metallic Cartridge company had
gone on strike and that during the
noon lunch hour hundreds of men on
the day shift would quit
They estimated this morning that
nearly 800 skilled machinists were now
on strike. They reiterated their state.
ment that there would be a complete
shutdown of war munition factories by
Saturday.
Disorder seemed imminent today
once at the new Remington plant
and once outside the works of a con
tractor making machine tools for the
Remington company.
Double team dirt wagons driven two
abreast cleared the road in front OF
the first named plant.
The police, according to an official
connected with the contracting con
| Germ, dispersed strikers and sympathiz
ers there after they had made a dem
| onstration for the benefit of the me1
who remained at work.
The labor leaders asserted that tive

Ell out yesterday.
Labor leaders announced that pick

les on the day shift from going t.
work. The pickets went to the plan
soon after daybreak and remained sev
eral hours. Every machinist that ap

CALLS FOR MEN TO
RECRUIT COMPANY |
Capt. e. w. Gibson Says Local Com
pany Faces Crisis-Wants 80 of
the Best Men in the Community.

Editor of The Reformer:
For nearly so years militia com
pany has been maintained in Brattle-
boro. It's existence was made possible
through the patriotism and local inter
est of the late General Estey, an ideal
citizen, who saw that true citizenship
was not attained if confined in its en-
deavors to commercial development.
militia company is a living en-
bodiment of the patriotic regard of
our people for the protection and safe
ty of the country. The prompt answer
Of Company | to the call in the Span
ishAmerican war, and its faithful
service exemplifes that fact.
During the past few years interest
in the company has waned because of
lack of enlistments. Today the COM
pany faces crisis 1t must be
brought to a proper state of efficiency
and membership or be disbanded. An
other town stands ready with men al
ready signed up to take the place of
Brattleboro.
To meet the situation we need, first
of all, 30 good men. Men who have al
ready seen service viii help very
much in getting the company into
shape. We need young men of good
character and high resolve, in fact the
best men of the community
It is the duty of every citizen to ac-
quire knowledge Of military training.
The world events now being written
into history attest the truth of that
statement
The company asks the hearty coop
GRAFTON Of all business interests
through the board of trade, and of all
men and organizations interested in
the progress Of our town. Company l
has done much for Brattleboro and
we now ask your help by way of en-
couraging enlistments that the com
pany may be maintained here and con-
tinued as an organization Of which all
Brattleboro people may feel justly
proud.
On and after this evening one of
the company officers will be at com
pany headquarters to receive enlist
ments.

PESTILENTTAL SMELL
PERVADES THE AIR
Sewer Discharging on River
Bank While Water Is Low-River
Will Be Drawn Lower

The rankest, foulest, most fetid and
putrid stencil that ever attacked an
unfortified community settled down
this morning over that section of the
village which borders on the river in
the rear of the store buildings ON the
east side of Main street. 1t was
thicker than the armor of a protected
cruiser and more permeating and dead
~ than the gas from a German bomb
and when waited in any particular di-
rection by the gentle zephyrs that
danced over the Connecticut the disin-
fectant-defying aroma made path as
clear of living beings as the wake of
forest fire.
The source of this evil smelling, pes
tilential odor was not difficult to as
certain. it did not require great keen
ness of scent to locate the dis
charging end of the village sewer on
the bank of the river, which was spill
ling its contents on open ground sew
eral feet above the water The water
being drawn down to its normal level
in order to permit making repairs at
the Connecticut River Power Co. IS
dam, the sewer was uncovered, allow
ing the odors to spread broadcast over
an indefensible people.
DR. Henry Tucker, health officer, was
notified of the conditions, and he said
he would inspect the fragrant nosegay,
but doubted if anything could be done
to ameliorate the situation before the
repairs at the dam were completed
At tho dam this noon it was stated
over the telephone that the water was
not down low enough so that the cause
of the trouble at the flood gate could
be determined, but that the water
would be drawn down two or three
feet lower ut the dam and that proba-
bly, two or three days would elapsc
before the pond was filed again.

RUMOR THAT FIRE
WAS INCENDTARY
Officials at South Londonderry Be
lieve, However, that Loss in That
village Was Not Planned.

While numerous rumors are atioat
here and in South Londonderry to the
effect that the fire in that village
which early yesterday morning did
damage estimated at between $4,000
and $4,000 was of incendiary origin.
nothing that approaches even circum-
stantial evidence has been brought to
light thus far.
The fire, as reported in The Reform
er yesterday, started from some cause,
as yet undermined, in the home of
Albert Baybrook, which closely ad-
joined the general store building of
G. C. Smith.
Mr.. Smith was troubled with insom-
MIA Monday night and about clock
arose and seated himself to read until
he should become sleepy again. While
thus engaged he heard n cracking
sound, which upon investigation he
found to be caused by fire which was
burning the house occupied by Mr.
Baybrook
He gave the alarm and Mr.. Bay
brook, his wife and children, wht
were aroused about the same time, de
voted themselves to saving articles
from the house Mr.. Baybrook SEN

and removed such of the contents o
the house as it had been possible t,
save to the Magoon home, where Nh
Baybrook and his family are now 10
| Gated.
1t could not be learned this noo1
that any steps had been taken for a
investigation to determine the origi1
of the fire. j. B. Johnson, the frs
selcctman of the town, lived in tn
tenement over the Smith store an
was burned out, but it is understoo
that in spite of rumors the officers Q
the town are not satisfied that the fir
was other than of accidental origin.

Mrs. Caswell and daughter were
driving along the river when the bank
gave away and they with the horse and

The engineer, whistling for help,
stopped the train as it approached the

man, hauled the women out of the wa
tier.
Mrs. Caswell suffered severely from
the shock, but is expected to recover.

RIGA AND WARSAW
BOTH THREATENED

LONDON, July 2l.-Rumors of the
fall of Warsaw are in circulation to-
day, but the latest communications
from both sides indicate that the Aus
tro- German rush toward the Polish
capital, while still being pushed hard,
has not reached the goal.
The Russians continue to lose
ground, but apparently the campaign
has not yet been brought to a decisive
issue.
The late German advances towards
Riga place Grand Duke Nicholas, the
Russian ommandcr-in-chief, in an en-
barrassing position. To risk obstinate
resistance might imperil his retreat,
but il is pointed out here that such
an extended Austro- German line may
contain weak points against which a
counter move might be made in the
hope Of saving the Polish capital.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

The South Wales coal miners have
accepted the terms agreed upon yester
day, and the strike therefore is def
nitely at an end. Throughout the coal
fields there was an overwhelming ma
iority in favor of accepting the terms.
Work in the mines will be resura, d
at once. Both sides have promised tie
government TO exert every effort
to make up for the week of idlencss.
David Lloyd George, minister of
munitions, to whose efforts the ending
of the strike is largely due, appeared
in the conference hall at Cardin after
the decision had been reached and re-
ceived an enthusiastic welcome.
President Winstone of the Miners
Federation declared that Mr.. Lloyd
George and his colleagues had per-
formed a great service for the miners
of the empire, who now were prepared
to do everything possible towards
bringing the war to a speedy termina
tion.
There is no halt so far as official re
ports indicate in the Tcutonic drive
aimed at Warsaw and having as a larg
er motive the infliction of a crushing
blow upon the Russian army. The
Russians, however, seem to be showing
increasing powers of resistance as the
line of the attacking hosts draws clos
err to the Polish capital.
The latest official statements show
the Germans under the guns of the
fortress of Nowo Gorgievsk, the key to
Warsaw ON the north and only 10 miles
from that city. Further north the fort
ress of Ostro Lenka, fell.
In the Baltic provinces the impress
sive German advances continde. The
campaign in this latter section is in
terpreted by military observers as
possibly intended to cut into the Rus
sian lines of communication ana pre-
vent a successful retreat Of their armies
from the Warsaw region.
Less speedy but mono l'e less steady
is the Austro-German advar e through
southern Poland. So far as reports show
the important communication lines in
the Lublin region have not been
pierced.
! Continued advances by the Italians
in the Dolomite region are report e.l
from Rome, the most notable gain
claimed being on the Corso plateau.
