One of Salem $ largest factories and
perhaps one of the least supported, is
the Capital Monumental Works out on
South Commercial street. J. C. Jones,
the energetic proprietor, has made a
life study of his art and the resultant
products turned out from his institu-
tion are equal to anything produced in
America.
The marble for tine fall trade has ar
rived and Mr.. Jones has his corps of
assistant marble workers are busily en-
gagged in turning the rough stone,
hewed from the mountainsides of Yer
mont, into beautiful memorials to the

The injuries which crippled the
fanks and under which they stood so
gamely for a while have apparently
cost Donovan men their place in the
sun. The same i'll luck pursued the
fighting Cleveland Indians, who lost
their star, Speaker, during the past week
and learned tina Guy Morton would
never pitch again.
Today the worlds champions Red
Sox are defying fate and tearing along
in the lead, followed by the ambitious
White Sox, a few points behind, while
the Yanks haven't even clear title to

Race Problem Comes
to Front in Texas

Dallas. Tevas, Aug. S,-The home of
William Conner. n negro who moved
into "restrieted" portion of Deere
Park, suburb, was badly damaged by
a gun powder bomb early today.
Mrs. Conner and her two children,
who were sleeping on the opposite side
of the house from where the bomb was
exploded, were unhurt. Conner disap-
peared about week ago, after repeat
ed threats from white residents of the
neighborhood.
Another negro who had moved into
the house occupied by the Conners was
driven away after mob threatened
him one night. Although segregation
ordinance was passed recently, the po-
lice are powerfless to enforce it until
its legality has been ruled on by the
courts.

a VISIT TO THE TRENCHES.

We left London on March LIST, and
spent the first night at Folkes:one'
preparatory to crossing to Boulogne
the following day Because OF the sub
marine peril, the hour of crossing OF
the channel boats was not announced
in advance. SO we could not know un-
til an hour or so beforehand, what
would be the time of our sailing.
shall not forget our arrival at Folke-
stone, close to midnight. All about
the station the densest darkness, and
not cab or vehicle Of any kind in
sight, and no porters to procure one
This condition is due solely to the
war, as Folkestone being on the coast
shares with other coast places in its
elaborate precautions against nightly
Zeppelin attacks, hence the deep and
unrelieved darkness; and the absence
OF porters is one that is encountered
everywhere in England now, since
almost all serviceable men are at the
front or in training. It ended by my
husband having to set out, and walk
about half mile, secure cab, and
return.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1916-08-02

A word about our place OF cross
ing. The Observation-Disclosures route
is closed now to all but the military;
the route for civilians is almost alto
gether by Southampton and LIE Havre.
But our permission read BY Folke-
stone Boulogne, which meant that we
were accorded military privileges.
This was most unusual, and was only
understandable in the light OF the
fact that we were considered as the
guests Of the Belgian government, and
as representing them. in q branch OF
Belgian relief.
When the hour of our departure ar
rived and we descended to the wharf,
we were met with an unusual and In
teresting sight. We had become &C.
customed to the sight Of soldiers and
officers in London, as the streets fair-
" TEEN with them; one really won
ders IL there are so many at the front
in Paris it was not so, we saw COM
paratively few French soldiers In the
capital, thye seemed all to be at the
'front.'. But at the wharf at Folke-
stone, where we were to embark, all
had different look. For one thing,
the officers, for we were crossing on

steady sea, and we coud not but en-
ter into the novelty and interest OF
the situation with a good deal Of zest.
Near to us were two large transports
swarming with "Tommies," just set
ting out. So dense we're the crowds
of men that there seemed to be scarce
ly standing room on the decks. We
could see that already each man was
equipped with his life belt. AS tho
transports swung out into the har-
Dor, there was profound silence; no
one raised his voice in a cheer, there
was no waving Of hands or handker-
chiefs, in fact there was no one at the
wharf to wave goodbye, for the en-
trance was guarded by sentries who
marched back and forth, and admitted
no one who had not his official pa
pers, for sailing.
On our own boat as we swung out,
the officers began to obey the official
order that was passed about decks, to
don life belts. Some younger oficers
demurred at first, but the order was
repeated a second time with no uncer-
tain sound, and soon each officer had
his belt securely strapped on. We al
so followed suit, acknowledging an
added sense OF security with tho pro-
lection Of the life preservers which we
noted were quite new and strong. We
realized as we set out that our boat
was carrying the most precious freight
that could be carried across the chan
mel, as anything can be replaced SOON
er than living cargo Of 1900 officers,
and we were to. realize this more full
~, as on our short trip we noted the
elaborate precautions taken against
the precious cargo being lost. The
donning of the life belts was only q
preliminary and slight precaution.
AS our boat sped through the wa
ters, one torpedo destroyer follow
ed closely in her wake, and another
equally swift, preceded US; also all
the way the track seemed literally to
be lined with other craft lying of at
no great distance, so near that IN
matter Of few minutes they could
be near enough to aid in case OF dis
aster. This was before the Sussex
catastrophe. but although the channel
has always been singularly free from
submarine peril, yet 1t has only been
at the price of constant and vigilant
watchfulness. Some assert that great
nets are stretched the whole way
across the channel, and that many U
boats have come to their end, strangl-
ed In the self same meshes Also
through our whole voyage, great air
ships and aeroplanes kept lowering
vigil overhead.
Later at Boulogne, at the time OF
our return voyage almost two months
after, we were to see the Sussex, just
after she had been towed into har-
Dor, and we were able to realize some
thing Of the power OF the gigantic tor.
pedo that cut her almost IN half
Standing near to her bow we could
gaze at cross section Of the boat
which looked as though sliced on from
the whole, revealing the upper deck
