MARION LAMBERT'S
FRIENDS TESTIFY
Eighteen Girls Brought in By State
to Impeaoh Testimony Of
Josephine Davis.
MARION SAID SHE LIKED oRPET

- Waukegan,J ILL.,, June 17.-The state
today brought eighteen l8-year-old
girls to court to impeach the testi-
mony of Josephine Davis in the trial
of Will H. Orpet for the alleged pur-
der of Marion Lambert. The girls
had attended Marion's eighteenth
birthday party on February E, three
days before her death.
The first of the girls to take the
stand, Bernice Wells, testified that
Marion seemed happy at the party.
She did not see her cry, as Miss
Davis had testified, nor had she seen
Marion and Miss Davis alone at any
time during the party.
On cross examination Attorney
Ralph F. Potter asked:
Did Marion always appear gayer
than others, as if she were trying to
hide her troubles behind mask of
gaiety"
Il wouldn't say that-she just
seemed happy"
A demure miss in unadorned blue
came next. She smiled innocently at
Mr.. Dady when asked her name, and
responded in an unafraid voice, "Flor-
ence Russell" :" She was born at Ra-
cine, Wis, eighteen years ago.

Many Engishmen Will Return
Home With French Wives

British Headquarters in France,
June l7.-One of the results of the
presence of the British army in
France is that a good many British
soldiers will take French wives home
With them. The difference in lang
guage, far, from being a barrier, is an
accessory. Tommy Atkins teaches
Miss France English and Miss France
teaches Tommy Atkins French.
There is plenty of leisure for the
courtship to develop. Frequently
British battalions remain in the same
section for months at time. When
the men have done their shift in the
trenches they return, "in rest as the
saying goes, to the same villages
where they were before. Usually they
have quarters in the French houses.
In sense they become members of
the community.
With the French men folk away

ing taken by the train employees Of
the Pennsylvania, says:
This company employs 10000
men. Of this number only $4,000 are
in the train service. 1t is not rea-
sonable to expect that the wages, of
the remaining $4,000 employees, not
in the train service, shall be jeopar-
died or stopped by a strike of less
than one-sixth Of all the employees.
"If this strike of trainmen is car
ried on, our company will require en-
gineers, fremen, conductors, passen-
ger and freight brakemen. The man
agement calls the attention of all
faithful employees to the necessity that
may arise to meet such emergency.
Those of you who feel and be-
lieve with the management that the
traffic Of the company must move,
regardless of any wage controversy
and who are willing to volunteer their
service to assist the company in doing
its duty to the public, to the stock
holders and to loyal and faithful EN-
ployes, will send their names to their
immediate superior officers, stating
for what service they volunteer"

Lieutenant Roderick Dew Of Te-

Bandit on Battlefield.
HE WRITES STORY OF FIGHT

Tecumseh, Neb., June 17.-(Spe-
cial. Lieutenant Roderick Dew of
Tecumseh is at the front in the Mexi-
can bandit hunt. He is with the Sew
enteenth infantry, probably about $50
miles south of Columbus, N. NJ, but,
as army rules do not let the men give
locations OF troops, this is not known
definitely. Lieutenant Dew was with
the men to kill the noted rebel, Ger
vantes, and he has written relatives
here of the incident. His letter bears
the date Of May 28, but, of course, no
postmark. 1t was sent to Columbus
by army carrier for mailing, perhaps
by an aerial service. Shorn of every
thing personal, the letter follows:
"A detachment of our men, eleven
in all, were out towards the noun
tains to the east looking for beef and
making maps. They had left camp
about 7 a. m, and had entered the
mouth of canyon, when, about 9:30
o'clock, they were jumped upon by
band of about forty Mexicans. One
of the men mounted his horse and
started to camp for help, while the
others took positions in the rocks and

some. | cvoered the six or seven
miles in about thirty minutes, beating
the cavalry by about ten minutes.

killed and two wounded. The wounded

one injured in the knee and the other
in the leg and arm. was informed

ceeded up the canyon and on to a
ridge where our men had fought. I
found that Private Marksbury, re-
ported dead, was still living, though
badly wounded. He had been hit with
Mauser, which generally tears
large hole in victim, in the right
chest Through the lungs, and could
not last long. I went on to see the
dead Mexicans and try and make
identifications. On the first one I
found a personal letter addressed to
Senior Candelario Cervantes, among
other things. -.
"I could hardly believe that the
poor NUT was Cervantes, one of the
most notorious bandits in Mexico
probably equal to Villa. 1t was Ger
vantes who planned the Columbus
raid and persuaded Villa to carry it
to execution. He was the most merci-
less killer and torturer of them all.

more that the dead Mexican was Ger
