WHAT BECOMES OF
BROKEN GUNS
Try Associated Pres. J


On the British Front. France,
April 25.-The question of what be-
comes of the vast number of broken
impliments of warfare, and the dis
carded clothing and shoes that are
commonly supposed to strew the
battlefields where great armies are
operating, may be answered, so far
as the British Expeditionary is con-
cerned, by a visit to one of the bases
of the British army. All these
things, from the big gun which has
been shattered by shell, to the
smallest part of Tommy Atkins per-
sonal equipment which has been
broken or lost, are gathered up and
returned to one of the bases where
they are repaired if possible. If they
cannot be mended such parts as are
intact are used in renewing other
implements or articles of the same
kind, and in the event that they are
hopelessly broken or torn they are
sold as Junk.
A correspondent of The Associated
Press was permitted to visit one OF
these big repair depots. Depart
ments of every description were
husily engaged in the work OF res
toration. In one building was pie
of upwards of half a million pairs OF
worn boots-a veritable mountain oil
muddy foot gear. These were being
disinfected. cleaned, resoled and re-
paired in other ways at the rate OF
seven thousand pairs a week py
large force of experts. As fast as
they were finished they were placed
in stock ready to go back to the
trenches when there should be a cal
for more boots.
In other shops parts of broken har'
ness from the equipment of the army
horses were being repaired, saddles

Faces Serious Shortage In
Case Of Tie-Up of Traffic.

Chicago, Aug. 30,-The nation faces
serious shortage of fresh meats in
the event of a national railroad strike
officials OF the Union Stock Yards
the worlds largest cattle market, said
today. The present supply, it was
announced, will last only three days
Because Of the heavy demand for
foreign export and the unusually
heavy domestic demand, the packers
have been unable to lay away sur.
plus for storage, Thomas E. Wilson,
head of the one of the largest pack
ing firms, said. The embargo placed
by railroads on the shipments OF cat
tie and other perishables probably
will mean the Gripping of the entire
packing industry Of the country, he
said.
The embargo can only result in a
shutdown of certain sections OF Our
business Mr.. Wilson added. THE
packing houses have, of course, done
what they could to prepare for the
strike. We have stored as much as
we could and we have got as much
live stock in the yards as possible.
The supply we have on hand, how
ever, will last no longer than three
days.
'If the packers cannot bring in any
live stock, they cannot ship out any
fresh meats under the perishable
goods prohibition"
The total number of cattle receipts
in the Chicago market for the present
average about $4,000 weekly. About
100000 hogs are brought into the mar
ket and 10000 sheep each week.

VI loLl a oldh NoiiSopohoeh'''
Lincoln, Aug. 30-(Special.) 1.-The
assessed valuation of the state will be
cut down to $500,886,292 because of
an error made by the county assessor
of Butler county in making his totals.
Secretary Bernecker received an
affidavit this morning from the asses
sor stating that he had made an error
in the footings, which made the valu-
alton $35S,3l2 less than reported to
the state board. This will make the
assessed valuation of Butler county
$8,435,2l2, instead of $8,793,524.
Butler county was raised 5 per cent
by the state board, which would have
increased its valuation, $500, DOS, but
on account of the error Of $358,3l2 it
would appear that Butler had put one
over on the board.

Republican Sentiment Grows.
L. V. Horton of Stanton, republican
candidate for the state senate from
the Tenth district, was caller at re-
publican headquarters this morning.
Mr.. Horton says there is rapidly
growing sentiment in favor of the
election of Hughes and Kennedy and
the state ticket in his locality. The
farmers are for Mr.. Hughes. They
are wise to the prosperity proposition
and realize that it is not here by any
act of the democratic party, but
simply because of circumstances and
in spite of the democratic congress
and the administration. They are
going to vote for Hughes and the re-
suit in that section of the country
will show that the people are not
for the present administration.
