rock or hewn in solid ice. Moving
glaciers and avalanches added to the
dangers as also did heavy SHOWS and
bitter cold. Alpine warfare develop
ed many innovations in military sci
ence. . Like giants throwing huge
snowballs, one army hurled avalan-
ches; at the other. Mountain ham,
lets and hundreds of combatants and
non-combatants were wiped out by
this picturesque arm of war. Special
ly made smoked glasses had to be
worn by the soldiers as protection
against snow-blindness. Freezing
weather occasioned the invention Of
extremely warm but light clothing
for the military.
The spirit of the Italian army is
fine. Unofficial estimates place the
Austrian losses at approximately
100000, about $4,000 of which are
said to be in killed. Austrian pris-
oners are rumored to be near the
100000 mark These enemy dam
ages, it is asserted, are not counter
balanced by the Italian casualties.
The presence of the King in the field
is an inspiration to the fighters.

SWIFT { COMPANY
PENSION PLAN

Chicago, July 31.-Two million
dollars was the gift made by Swift
& Company to their employees today.
Announcement of the accumulation
Of this sum during the past six years
in the form of pension fund Occa-
stoned much qualification to workers
in the plants and branch houses in
all cities where it was made stimuli
taneously. 1t is estimated that more
than 10000 men and women are
eligible, in time, to come under the
provisions of the fund, which be-
comes active August, 1.
One of the striking features of the
plan as outlined is that the employees
do not contribute to the fund, the
company furnishing absolutely all
money needed to pay pensions. In
this connection it Is expected that
Swift & Company will be called up
on to pay 100000 year in addi-
ton to the income from the fund, in
order to meet the demands.
In Chicago alone 5000 persons
will come under the plan as outlined.

pension plan under consideration
for over six years and during that
time have accumulated for the pur-
pose a fund of two million dollars"
said Louis F. Swift, president of the
company, today. ''In that time we
have studied dozens of pension plans
in effect in other organizations, both
contributory and non-contributory
and we believe that we have select
ed the best points of these and have
added a number of good features
that are distinctive. We have made
it possible for every man and wom-
an in our employ to provide for his
or her old age simply by giving eff
ficient work and continuous service.
1t has been the aim of Swift & Com
pany to tie it's employees to itself in
many ways. We have worked to that
end for years because we believe that
our employees become more valuable
to us with every year of their con-
tinued service. The pension plan is
our scheme for rewarding this faith
full service

TOWNS WIPED OUT
BY FOREST FIRES

Englehart, Ont, July 31.-Forest
fires raging in northern Ontario
have resulted in the loss of from $50
to 200 lives. Other scores of per-
sons have been injured and it is
feared many of them may die.
Several small towns have been
wiped out by the flames that have
been raging for ferty-eight hours.
Reports thus far received show that
fifty-seven perished at Mushka a
French Canadian settlement, and
thirty-four at Matheson. Cochrane
has eighteen dead and thirty-four
injured; Iriquois Falls fifteen dead
and many injured and Ramore fif-
teen dead. The number killed at
Porcupine Junction is not known
but the entire town was destroyed
except the railroad station.

The Hawk.Eye the Best.

Cedar Falls Record: The Record
is willing to venture the prediction
that the Hawkeye Highway will
within the next two years be the
best road crossing the state of Iowa.
There are some bad spots on the
road from Cedar Falls west to Iowa
Falls, a few bad ones near Epworth
on the east end, but taking it In all
it is now SO much better than the
tabled Lincoln Highway that there
is no comparison. The benefit accru-
ing to the communities through
which such highway passes cannot
be measured in dollars and cents
alone. A frequented road makes q
pleasant road. One meets old time
friends along such a highway and
for this reason alone every county
through which the Hawkeye passes
should be interested in having the
very best possible road for the mon
ey available.

National Guard on Trial.

Des Moines Capital: Already the
topic of discussion among the
friends and relatives of the members
of the national guard is, when will
the troops be ordered home?
Major General Organ of the New
York, predicts that his men will eat
their Christmas dinner among the
cactus.
The war department at Washing
ton has intimated that units made up
of college students will be sent home
September 1, so that they may con-
tinue with their school work. The
department has given no hint as to
when the border patrol, so far as
the guard is concerned, will be lift
ed.
President Wilson has declared
that the guard is not modified for
drill but that it is defending the
country. This is an indication that
the administration does not place
full confidence in the peace overtures
of General Carranza, although on
the surface we are treating them as
genuine.
There is much grumbling among
the guardsmen, according to the
stories of some of the correspond
ents. Undoubtedly there was just
cause for complaint over the lack of
equipment when the troops first ar
rived. But after the men are once
comfortably encamped, grumbling
will come with bad grace. The men
who say that they want to fight or
go home are not living up to sold
ier's ideals. The guard is undergo
ing a test. The government is learn
ing to what degree of efficiency the
guard can be brought after few
weeks of intensive training. 1t also
is studying the morale OF the troops
when responsibility is placed upon
their shoulders.
The government has determined
that the best interests OF the nation
depend upon a strong patrol of the
border The national guard has been
delegated to do that patroling. II 1t
can be done without firing shot, so
much the better. The guard has new
er had better opportunity to DEM
onstrate it's usefulness.

AND
DEMOCRATS AGREE

Washington, July 31.-Passage of
a Workmen's compensation act for
government employer, on lines sug-
gested by the American Federation
of Labor, today was agreed on by
Democratic and Republican leaders.
For six years it has gone through all
the stages of congressional action ex-
.cept final passage. Something al
ways stopped it there. This year the
federation demanded of both conven-
tions the passage of the bill before
congress adjourned to take up the
Fall campaign, on pain of the feder-
atoms doing little campaigning
itself.
The bill provides, in case Of:
Death-thirty-fi per cent of
wages to widow or widowers, until
their death or remarriage, with 10
per cent additional for each depend
ent child.
Total disability-two-third of
wages, in no case to be less than
1888 monthly.
Partial isability-two-thirds Of
the difference between wages earned
before and after injury. Refusal of
a partially disabled man to do what
work he can do makes him ineligible
to any payment.
Medical care for a reasonable time
after an injury is suffered in govern
ment service is provided; and in case
of death, 800 for funeral expense is
allowed.
Intoxication or wilful carelessness
on duty makes federal employe in
eligible to benefits under the act.

THREE DROWN
N WHIRLPOOL

Dayton, Ia, July 31.-While wad-
ing across the Des Moines river near
here yesterday afternoon, three men
were caught in whirlpool and be-
fore aid could be given them they
were drowned.
The dead are:
Peter Sternholm, 40 years old, OF
GoWrie, la.
Constans Anderson, 25 years old,
of Gowrie.
Albert Swan, rs years old, 1921
Mattern avenue, Des Moines.
The dead men and their families
and other relatives were at a camp
ing ground on the river bank, hold
ing a family reunion. The party
over a dozen in number, had come
from Des Moines and other points
for a day of recreation. The victims
are brothers-in-law.
After the picnic dinner had been
eaten, it was proposed by one of the
men that they should go swimming.
Investigation showed that at that
point the river was exceedingly shall
low.
For about half an hour the men
swan in the shallow water. Sudden
ly one of the party proposed that
they should go across the river
where the stream was deeper.
They had hardly reached the mid
die of the stream when Sternholm
was caught under the swirling wat
crs. Then the two other men sud-
denly lost their foothold.
Siegfred Anderson, another of the
party, was caught in the current but
was able to get out of the water.
The three victims were swept
down the stream and failed to reap
pear. Aid was summoned immedi-
ately, but up to late hour last
night the bodies had not been recov-
cred.

WEATHER MAN SAYS
COOLER WEATHER

Washington. D. c., July 81
Only for scattered sections of the
country is relief from the heat wave
in sight. The weather bureau ex-
poets "some moderation" by Tuesday
in the lower Ohio valley, along Lake
Michigan, and in the upper lake re-
gion; and a shading down in tenn
peratures already has resulted from
thunderstorms in the west plains
states and on the eastern slope of
the Rockies.
Meantime, the high temperature
area has extended into the middle
and south Atlantic sections and has
advanced in the far west to the Pa
cific coast. New England and the
middle Atlantic seaboard, where it
has been cooler for day or two will
be warmer again tomorrow.

Telling the Truth.

1t is not pleasant and profitable
always to tell the truth in the col
umns of newspaper. Men who
have tried this heretofore have al
ways come to grief. Only a few days
ago the editor of a paper in Indiana
grew tired of being called falsifier
and announced that he would tell
the truth in the future; and the next
issue of the paper contained the fol-
lowing items:
John BONN, the LATEST merchant
in town, made trip to Bellville yes
terday.
John Coyle, our grocer, is doing
poor business. His store is dirty
and dusty. How can he do much?
REV. Styx preached last Sunday
night on Charity The sermon was
punk.
Dave Sonky died yesterday at his
home in this place. The doctor gave
it out as heart failure. Whiskey
killed him.
"Married-Miss Sylvan Rhodes
and Jamey Colin last Saturday, at the
Baptist parsonage. The bride is
very ordinary town girl, who doesn't
know any more about cooking than
a jack rabbit, and never helped her
mother. three days in her life. She
is not a beauty by any means, and
has a gait like duck. The groom
is an up-to-date loafer. He has been
living off the old folks all his life
and is not worth shucks. It will be
a hard life.
"The governor of our great state.
a very ordinary man who was elect
ed by accident, was in town Satur-
day. He has very few friends here
now. He promised some Of the vot-
ers of this precinct piece Of pie in
event Of his election, but he had for
gotten all about it when the time
to hand over the little Office rolled
around"

A Very Peculiar Death.

One of the missionary bishops of
the Methodist church met death in a
peculiar way last Tuesday. Bishop
William P. Eveland was found dead
under a railroad bridge near Mt.
Holly Springs, Pennsylvania, and ev-
erything pointed toward the explain
alton that he was electrocuted by his
steel fishing rod coming in contact
with a high tension electric wire ov-
erhead.
Bishop Eveland's work was SINH
lar to that of Bishop Johnson, a for
mer local pastor, who last May was
elected missionary bishop for Africa.
Bishop Eveland was elected to his Of
flee in 1912, as missionary bishop for
the Philippine Islands.

Dozens Of Carloads Of Ammunition
Explode, Shaking Cities for
Many Miles About.
LIBERTY STATUE IS DAMAGED
Shrapnel Laden Barges, Afire, Drift
A Sea, Carrying Widespread
Menace Of Death.

Jersey City, N. j., July 81
Charles Albert Hickman, the Lehigh
Valley railroads agent, and Alexan-
der David, superintendent of the Ma
tional Storage company's ware
houses, were arrested here today
charged with gross neglect of duty.
Four deaths, twenty-five missing and
one hundred and sixteen injured,
with property damage estimated
from twenty to fifty millions of dol
lars, resulted from the. explosion OH
Black Tom Island last night.
ported that the government was told
several days ago that an attempt
would be made to blow up the ware
houses of the National Storage COM
pany. 1t was claimed that some
1rishmen had been employed by Ger
man agents to do the job. Just what
steps were taken to avert the catas-
trophe is not known.
Jersey City, July 31.-Three per-
sons are known dead, fifty are miss
ing and sixty are injured, many
probably fatally, as result of the
Explosion of sixty-nine carloads of
ammunition destined for the entente
allies and stored on Black Tom
island near Jersey City early yester-
day morning.
The loss occasioned to the NUM-
ton companies and the National
Storage company, whose plant was
wrecked, is estimated at close to
$25, 100000
The detonations, which were felt
in five states, began with a contin-
uous rapid fire of small shells, the
blowing up of great quantities of
dynamite, nitor-cellulose and other
high explosives, followed by the
bursting of thousands of shrapnel
shells which literally showered the
surrounding land and water for
many miles around.
Block Tom island is an area of re-
claimed land, which projects into
New York bay from the Jersey
shore, Immediately behind the statue
of liberty. Six Lehigh valley rail
road piers and the National Storage
houses comprising thirty-four three
story brick buildings about a hum
dred feet deep, were the principal
sufferers.
Between $25,OOO,OOO and $780,
100000 worth of property belonging
to these two companies was hurled
into the air by the force Of the ex-
plosions. Thirteen storage ware
houses and their entire contents
were burned, dozen barges and
their contents burned or blown UP
and probably three tug boats sunk.
About million dollars worth Of
damage was done on Bedloe's island
and Ellis island suffered severely.
Countless homes and business places
running up into the hundreds or
thousands were more or less damag-
ed in Jersey City, Hoboken, Manhat-
tan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn,
Bayonne, Staten Island and adjacent
cities and towns. Smashed plate
glass windows was the principal loss
suffered. A conservative estimate Of
this loss is $1,500,000.
The origin of the blaze which
caused ruin and death has not yet
been established. This fire, as
nearly as can be established from eye
witnesses, began either ir freight
car on the explosive pier" or on a
barge moored to the pier, about ten
minutes after midnight.
