Stop in Rock Island Yesterday
and Today Carry Witnesses.
CHANGE IN ROUTING NOT MADE
Division Superintendent Here An
nounces Today That Border
Line Tracks Are Still Used.

On Golden State Limited trains
which passed through Rock Island
yesterday morning and today were
witnesses of the tragedy at Columbus,
n. NJ, when Villa soldiers made a
raid across the border. dealing death
and destruction of property. Although
1t was at first thought necessary to
change the routing of the trains over
the Ell Paso and Southwestern to avoid
the danger zone, A B. Ramsdell, d.
vision superintendent of the Rock Is
land road here, today said that the
situation in New Mexico had not
forced a change and that the Golden
State Limited trains of yesterday and
today arrived here on time.
The Ell Paso and Southwestern
tracks were used between Tucson,
Ariz., and Ell Paso, Texas, by the Col
den State Limited. The train which
arrived here yesterday morning
passed through Columbus a short
time after United States troops had
driven the raiding Mexicans back over
the border.
The Ell Paso and Southwestern line
runs within a few miles of the Next
can border all the way across the
states of New Mexico and Arizona.
Villa recently made threat to hold
up the train, which is considered the
most popular one on the line, and
which carries influential persons
from all over the United States be-
tween Chicago and the coast. The in
PREVENTION of troops and the patrol
established on the border by the Uni
ted States government has ended fear
on this score.

of the raided city:

that our participation in the war,
from however strong compulsion,
would be world calamity.
That much is clearly deducible from
the presidential campaign, and we
look upon this expression of public
opinion as one of the finest incidents
in American history. Man is natural
" a fighting animal. Getting him TO
fight has always been the easiest trick
In the statesman's box Moreover,
war is contagious, and the contagion
has been in the air for many months.
That the American people in 1916 re-
fused to be hurrahed, heckled and
tainted into belligerency will stand as
one of the high Qualifications of dem
ocracy.
One singular phase of the campaign
consisted in persistently insulting a
public that saw its own interests and
the highest human interests. That
phase was conducted by rather ex-
tensive and c1amorous set; but the
public's answer was merely good
natured shrug.

these same agents, in other lines and
in other parts of the United States,
must run into fabulous sums"
The sum of money named was
eleven million instead of eleven thous-
and dollars. This awkward mistake
was not due to Mr.. Chambliss, who
wrote the amount correctly. but to the

Says the Saturday Evening Post,
very sensibly:
The people of the United States are
not in truculent temper. They are
not ashamed Of the role this nation
has played in respect of the European
war. They do not believe the Allies
have been fighting our battles" while
we sat snugly by and coined blood
money out of the operation. They are
patient under the injuries that both
parties to the war have visited upon
this country, because they take into
account the abnormal state of the
belligerents-very much as q wise
man makes allowances for q neigh

They are, in their international re-

MRS. GEO. E. DRIVER

Mr.. F. w. Ditto received the sad
news this morning of the death of
his sister, Mrs. Geo. w. Driver, at her
home in Birmingham, Ala, last night.
Only few weeks ago, Mr. Ditto,
being informed of his sisters severe
illness, visited her at her home, and
after few days was able to leave in
the knowledge that she was much bet
ter and the hope that her recovery
was fully assured.
The remains will be laid to rest at
Opelika, which was formerly the home
of her husband
The news of Mrs. Drivers death
brings great regret to all who re-
member her. She passed most of her
girlhood days in Marion county, and
lived in OcaIa with her parents and
brothers until the family removed to
Jacksonville some fifteen years ago.

Train peafened soldiers to work.

According to official estimates, more
than $4,000 German soldiers have lost
their hearing In the terrible battles
of this war. To enable these unfor-
tunates TO earn their bread after the
war, number of schools have been
established. with the aid of the gov
eminent.
The largest one Is in Hamburg, and
has about 800 pupils. who receive very
careful instruction, and In compare
lively short time become proficient In
lip reading. Many Of them are able
to take up their former trades and
professions again, but some have to be
trained for other vocations. About 15
per cent have their hearing partly re-
stored by delicate operations and spe-
ciaI training.
Recently 80 deaf soldiers were grad
uated" from the Hamburg institute.
Among them were three lawyers, two
school teachers, five clerks and book
keepers, two civil engineers and two
office managers, who all have returned
to their former occupations.
