of the Bsura river before Warsaw,
when the shelling at times was so in
tense that it seemed to him that no
human being could live in the
trenches, Kalpaschnikoff and his col
umn took out and cared for several
thousands of wounded, victims not
only of shelling but of German gases.
Continuing his narration, Comman-
der KalpasChnikoff said:
About this time the PrassnitZ op-
GRAFTON came to a crisis. A blow was
necessary to stop the development of
the German plan directed on Wilma.
The Siberian corps was summoned to
start on a few hours notice and pro-
ceed by forced marches 1877 kilometers
to PrassnitZ over fearful roads and
in wretched weather. Two days was
allowed to cover the distance. The
world knows of that brilliant dash
and what was its result. The military
hospital, in this rapid march, had been
left behind. The Twenty-first Flying
Column followed and was the first to
enter after the city had been taken
by the First and Third Siberian regi-
ments. The sights we saw cannot be
adequately described. More than 2,700
wounded Germans without having had
any care whatever, were lying or
crawling about the streets, hiding in
Easements and outbuildings. evidently
hoping that the Germans would make
a counter attack and re-enter the city.
The bitches We're full of dead and
wounded as were the open spaces
about the city and the outlying viii
lagos. Many of our own men were

country at the outbreak of the war
and was assigned to service with the
Red Cross. He became identified with
the 21st Flying Column and soon was
placed in command of that body.

Siberian Corps" said Kalpaschnikoff,
rs we'll known throghout Russia. The
flying column attached to such
fighting organization has no easy task.
In the first days of the war several
columns, attracted by the brilliant
achievements of that corps in the de-
fense of Warsaw, strove for the honor
of working with it, and especially with
the famous first division; but they
found the work too hard. or the con-
ditions too dangerous, and after brief
periods abandoned the task.
THE Twenty-first Flying Column
which had been with the corps since
the end of November. 1914, has
proven its worth. 1t was organized

Farm Clubs
Picnic on 4th

The Unity and Copenhagen Farm
Clubs have joined together and will
give an old fashioned picnic in Prof.
Charles Schuttler's beautiful grove at
Unity School House, three and one
half miles southeast of Pennington,
on July 4th. Everybody is urgently
invited to attend whether they belong
to a farm club or not, and bring we'll
filled baskets and have the time of
their lives, as the grove will easily
accommodate 1000 people, and then
some. Good speakers will be on hand
to address the people, both in the
forenoon and afternoon. Also, they
are calculating to have a good band
to dispense music for the delectation
Of the people. Amusements will be
provided, and a stand, too, where one
can get ice cream, lemonade, etc. A
committee has been appointed to give
special attention to the entertainment
Of the children. Come and bring ycur
family and help US enjoy a sane and
profitable Fourth.

Trouble at No. A

The Board of Managers of State
Hospital No at this place met last
Saturday, and there are rumors to the
effect that the board asked or demand
ed the resignation of DR.. G. E.
Scrutchfield, the Superintendent.
That the request was made there is
no doubt, as some of the ST. Louis pa
pers have quoted one or two members
of the Board to that effect. We don't
know anything definite as to the
charges upon which the demand was
made, as the parties concerned are
10th to speak out, and therefore pre-
fer not to make any comment. 1t is
said, however, that DR.. Scrutchfield
refuses to resign, and it is reported
that Governor Major, who appointed
the Doctor as Superintendent, will
support him in his refusal The
Board hasn't the power to remove the
Superintendent, and if its demand is
insisted upon court proceedings will
probably have to be instituted. We
understand that the Board is to meet
next Monday, when the whole trouble
will probably be aired.

DEMOCRATIC CONVEN-
TION NOW in SESSION
President Wilson Renominated Last
Night--Vice Presidential Nomi-
nation to be Made Today

Lincoln victory, the convention went
wild, delegates leaped on chairs, flags
in hand and cheer after cheer swept
wave-like over the vast assemblage
in the Coliseum.
On Thursday at noon the Conven-
ton again assembled and was called
to order by Temporary Chairman
Glynn, and Right Reverend John j.
Glennon, Archbishop Of st. Louis,
pronounced the invocation. Reports
of the Committees on Credentials,
Permanent Organization, and Rules
of Order and Business were then
made. United States Senator Ollie
James of Kentucky was reported as
Permanent Chairman, and delivered
a strong speech lauding and defending
the Administration of President Will
son.
The original program of the Con-
vention provided for the nomination
of President Wilson for second term
to take place tonight friday, but
yesterday morning a change was
made, anG it was decided to make the
nomination last night, which was
probably carried out. The nomina-
tion of a Vice Presidential candidate
will be made to-day and the Conven-
tion may adjourn instead of holding
over until Saturday.
The platform is expected to be
strong presentation Of the Admins
tration's policies, the constructive
work of the Administration and of
Congress, and an unwavering stand
for the brand of A2lericanism for
which Mr.. Wilson has been a firm and
consistent exponent. The Mexican
