1t seems that we started something when
we said real spinner hand should fix a
breakdown in twenty seconds. We per-
sonally can name several spinner hands who
can beat that by three or four seconds.
Certainly, this applies only to fast men,
men who have there minds strictly on their
work.
You baller men must consider the fact
that your machines are running night and
day, and that such continuous running is
very hard on the machines. Ye scribe is
there to see that your machines run pro-
perly, and will repair them when they need
it. But there is nothing gained by con-
tinual ,inkering as it only makes them
worse.
The Editor was around and requested the
boys stop the personalities in the columns
of the Mirror. He is right. There is
nothing gained in fun at the personal ex-
pense of the other fellow, and more often
ridicule is mistaken for humor. Ridicule
isn't humor, and what may be thought a
fine joke to some may be considered the
height of impudence to others. You must
remember that it makes a great deal of
difference whose OK is gored.

There was nothing in the shape OF
a charge against Sergeant Krengel.
To all intents and purposes. and &C
cording to the record. he had been
faithfully performing his duties IN
the department. He was merely
thrown overheard.
Detective Smith was on duty az
headquarters last night. He said the
promotion came to him as the greatest
surprise Of his career. He had no
idea that he would have been selected
for vacancy in the headquarters
squad.
Members of the board did not care to
discuss the matter last night.
All they would say was that what
ever action they took was, for the
best interests OF the department.
krengel had been in the department
about ten years. He served for some
time in the bicycle squad. and was
promoted to headquarters after PROV
ing his value as a secret service man.
He has figured In a number of difficult
cases. and has lost very few in the

LOOK ON ACTION
OF BOARD AS OUTRAGE

Public sentiment last night on the
firing" Of Detective Sergeant Kren-
gel from the Richmond police force
indicates that Richmond generally
will look upon the action of the
Board of PolGe Commissioners as
another outrage perpetrated by that
body. Among those who expressed
opinion were some members of the
vice commission. whose Investigations
have resulted in the call upon Police
Commissioner Goode for his resigna-
ton and in the censuring of CHM
missioners We'll and Mccarthy. The
action is looked upon as a striking
back" at Mr. Krengei.
One member Of the vice commission
said: Il am not surprised at hearing
that Krengel has been dropped by
the vote OF Commissioners Goode.
Well, Bradley and Boykin." He said
that Krengel was an important wit
ness in the vice Investigation.
Another member declared he was
surprised that the Police Board would
take such action. He did not care
to be quoted at this time. he said.
II am very sorry to hear Officer
Krengel has been dropped and hope
that he will be reinstated shortly"
said third member Of the commits
sion, WhiCsa prODed wee -cohultioHS anu
the police board some months ago. He
continued:
Such action Is outrageous. There
should be such protest sent up by
the public that the board will be COM
PEELED to rescind its action"
Outside the Vice Commission. citi-
zens who heard Of the dropping OF
Mr. Krengel from the force, sharply
criticised the police commissioners.
Many expressed disgust that one "
the votes. dismissing Krengel should
have been cast by a man whose restg-
nation has been demanded. and taat
another was by a man who had been
censured by public body Of the city.

sity OF the newly-won positions In
Artois has failed completely to dis
lodge the French troops or even to
shake the security OF clneir hold. The
latest entrenchments taken In this
sector on the heights bstwesn 6ouchex

Hot Fighting In Champagne.
In Champagne has occurred the
hottest fighting OF the day. West of
Tahure Heights French troops last
night charged into the second lire OF
German trenches, captured and held
the positions. and advanced even
by a thanking fire. North of Mesnil
and Massises additional progress was
made and south OF Ripont the FIRST
line German positions previously
taken have been enlarged.
The wounded French soldiers now
in Paris say that the system Of wire
entangiements built by the Germans
was more intricate than anything they
tad dreamed of. Even after the big
guns had literally churned up the
earth many of the stakes and en-
tangiemcnts remained as a serious i'm
pediment to rapid advance.
II would seem that In Champagne
particularly It was the cavalry that
completed the rout of the Germans
from their first positions The charge
of the horsemen. say the wounded,
made a fine spectacle and was the
last thing needed to turn the Germans
to atght. Many OF the men are
wounded In the legs. 1t was the ma
chine gun fire. playing on the trenches
that enabled them TO advance.
