work of LaPorte Van SAINT, who has a
studio in Rock Island and is we'll
known to tri-city people.
Mr.. Van SAINT uses the signature,
John Howard Craig, on his compost
tons which constitute a number of sa-
cred and secular songs, all broadly de-
scriptive and intensely temperamental.
THE Pilgrims Message" is a late
work from his pen and is provoking
much enthusiasm among singers and
favorable comment in publications and
is being sung in leading church choirs.
1t is to be given in exceptionally cap
able manner at the First Presbyterian
church at Oak Park next Sunday even

quartet in Chicago and vicinity. Ar

Our sympathy goes out to the
poor meat packers and cattle
raisers of the West. At a hearing
before the House judiciary com
mittee in Washington, one Of the
largest packers said his losses
for the week just passed was
$4,000, and a cattle raiser en-
lightened the committee with the
statement that he had come out
about even in his business in
three years. These poor fellows
will have to struggle along with
their losses with very little en-
couragement from the house
wives of the country and make
the best of the terrible situation
they are in.

The recent adoption by Brown
University of courses to be given
in Latin-American politics, social
conditions and commercial oppor-
tunities is a step in the right di-
rection. Such courses are only too
few in many Eastern colleges. AT
this particular time when Latin
America is growing so tremend-
ously and the door of our oppor-
tunity for better friendship, trade,
and union is wide open, hundreds
of young men are needed for work
there, and they can best be taught
by the colleges.

The bandit, who is believed by
railroad officials to be the man who
recently committed two similar crimes
in this secfion, is thought to have

After engaging the guard in con-
versation for about an hour and a
half, he bandit drew two guns and
ordered the passengers of the obser-
Vation car to drop their Valuables into
a hat held by the guard who then was
compelled to accompany the bandit
through the first sleeper where, how
ever none OF the passengers We're
molested.
/ Reaching the last sleeper the brake
man was pressed into service. After
/ the valuables here were gathered, the
guard and brakeman, both of whom

the rapidly running train, he rolled
down the embankment, regained his
feet and disappeared into the hilly
country.
\ special train with a sheriff's
posse left Immediately to take up the
chase from Edison.
FOrty-three passengers in all were
compelled to yield their money and
valuables. One shot, which went wild,
was directed at James Sherlock, the
conductor. when the latter hesitated

PITTSBURG, Pa. April 21.-A ser

the plant OF the Westinghouse Elec-
trio and Manufacturing Company in
East Pittsburg was called late today.
Labor leaders claim that $500 men
and women have already quit work
and that majority of the employs

strikers tomorrow. President +. NJ.
Herr of the company denied that
more than 1000 were out, The COM

The strikers asked for an eight

organization is composed of employees

rambeau, where the newly arrived force
is quartered. The Russians show no
i'll effects of their long journey.
The authorities decline to permit
mention of the number Of men who ar
rived or of the route the transports fol-
lowed.
The coming of the Russian troops to
the western front has been talked of
by military people for two or three
months The reason. as now explained,
is that it is easier for Russia to arm
and supply fighting material to Rus
ian troops on the western front than on
the eastern.
Russia still has many hundred thous-
and more men under training than she
can use on her fighting lines because
the Russian problem continues to not
how to get the men, but munitions. The
allies can obviously provide complete
equipment for Russians more easily in
France than by shipping to Russia.
Possibly a quarter of million men will
be sent into France this spring.
