"SNIPING The SHIPPER
Thrilling Stories Told BY &c.
dieTS Eack in BiIlatS.

With the American Army in France,
Nov. 3.-SCme of the American SOL
diers who have just been relieved
after service in the trenches had
thrilling stories to tell on returning
TO their billets.
On clear days especially, German
snipers became active. Bullets went
singing harmlessly overhead. Ameri-
can infantrymen were tod off to at
tend to any sniper who bee me active
and more than one of them will snipe
Americans no more.
This game of "sniping the sniper"
was highly popular. The only Gem
plant heard was that there was not
enough rifle shooting to satisfy the
infantrymen.
A colonel had an exciting expert
ence when the Germans nearly got the
range of an observation post in which
he and his aid were. They lost no
time in taking themselves to temper
airy cover.
The artillery on both sides was
rather more active during the last
days in which the first contingent of
Americans was in the trenches. The
Germans shelled the back areas and
approaches, putting shrapnel and high
explosive shells in the direction of the
trenches and battery positions. Moth
ing was accomplished by the enemy.
The infantry in one section had two
lively nights. The Germans, thinking
hostile patrol was near them, open
ed fire at the point where the oppos-
ing trenches are nearest. The Ameri-
cans let the Germans fire for time
and then they began.
The morale of the Americans Is
pleasing to the French. The troops
marched out of the trenches in the
dark AS soon as they were out of
hearing of the Germans they swung
along whistling or singing.
Officers of all the groups commented
on the remarkably small amount of
sickness. There are some bad colds
but less than half a dozen cases. in
Guiding trench feet and pneumo-
MIA.
The battaIions sent in to relieve the
men who have just left the trenches
found the ground frozen. The sector
remains normal, according to latest
reports.

City Into Disrepute.

| Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-Impeach the
mayor and dismiss Director Wilson.
In singing arraignment branding
them as unfit for office, the October
grand jury requested that impeach-
ment proceedings be brought against
| Mayor Thomas B. Smith, and that
Director of Public Safety Wilson be
summarily ousted.
This request was conveyed in the
! iury's final presentment to Judge Rog-
! ers, in quarter sessions court. upon
! completing its term of service. The
Dresentment also complains of the
methods used by magistrates, particu
larry William P. Beaton.
/ Neither Mayor Smith nor the direc-
iitor will comment on the jury's action.
j The irdge to whom the presentment
was made is a partner in the law
firm of which Wilson is a member

said the report would be filed, and
/ that the recommendations would be
referred to the proper authorities. He
then dismissed the jurors.

I sentiment the grand jury makes these
recommendations.
"The grand jury, by unanimous
vote, ask that impeachment proceed
{ ings be brought against the mayor and
! that the director of the department of
public safety be summarily dismissed
from Office. Both of them have shown

/ spective Offices. By their actions they
have brought the fair name of our
city into disrepute."
1.-The evidence before the grand Jury
in the Fifth ward cases was SO strong
that we could not do anything else but
recommend the impeachment Of the
mayor and the removal of Director
Wilson," declared Lloyd Beverlin, the
foreman.
I'm a Ware man." he continued
"and always have been and always
will be, but I was under oath as fore
man Of the jury, and, even if the case
had been one involving my own
mother, my decision could not have
been otherwise"
Beverlin limited that the activities

gated.
Referring to the magisterial system,
The grand jurors said they had OBJ
served in numerous cases coming be-
fore them that magistrates had abused
the powers of their offices.
In making their particular reference
TO Magistrate Beaton, the jurors re-
commended that the records of his
office be carefully Investigated. The
attitude of the grand jury against the
znagisterial system is explained in
this part Of the presentment.
I'VE cannot too strongly condemn
the abuse of their powers by several
members of the minor judiciary. We
have had entirely too many cases in
which the testimony showed that the
magistrates were not fulfilling their
Iuties. We had before us two cases
in particular in which Magistrate Bea-
on and his constable was shown up
IN a very unfavorable light. We
would recommend that the records OF
his magistrate be carefully investi.

FACE DISLOYALTY CHARGES
U. S. Agent Says University of Illinois
Professors Are Adainst War.

Champaign, H.. Nov. 3.-The Uni
versity of Illinois is in an uproar over
the assertion by w. H. Kerrick, agent
Of the United States department OF
Justice, that a small group of Intel.
lectuals" at the institution are dis.
loyal.
Kerrick attacks eight professors and
instructors.
The feeling among faculty members
IS that while some of the group have
been more or less philosophical ly
against war, they do not merit the
sweeping charge by Mr.. Kerr'ck that
hey are disloyal. Still others said
that they had expected some such de-
yelopment in view of the position as.
5umed by some of the instructors.
A special meeting Of the board Of
trustees may be called next week.
There are so many charges and coun-
ter charges current that an investiga-
ion would be necessary.

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active
less and less food is required to
meet the demands of our bodies. If
too much is habitually taken, the
stomach will rebel. When a man
reaches the advanced age of S5 OF
90. you will find that he is light
eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat
more than you should and will feel
the need of Chamberlain's Tablets to
correct the disorder. These tablets
do not contain pepsin, but strength

form its functions naturally. They
also cause a gentle movement of the

SLAV ARMIES
OUT OF FIGHT
Kerensky Insists Allies Take
Over Burden Of Russia.
! MUST HAVE MATERIAL HELP
Nation Still in War, Premier Says,
But Worn Out by Strain-No Use
For America to Send Troops.

| Petrograd, Nov. 3.-Russia is worn
out by the strain of war and must
have help, so the premier, M. Keren-
sky said.
| He said Russia claims as her right
| that the other allies now shoulder
the burden which SIC has borne.
Russia has been fighting eighteen
months longer than England. She has
fought Ter battles alone and is fight
ing alone.
The world must not lose faith in the
Russian revolution because it is an
economic one. No one has the right
to feel disillusions about it, as it takes
years to develop a stable government.
Americas most useful way of help
/ Ing is sending money. It would be
Impossible for the United States to
send troops because the difficulties OF
transport would be too great.
/! Russia is not out of the war. She
has fought consistently since the be-
ginning. She saved France and Eng
land from disaster early in the war.
Thus M. Kerensky explained Rus
sia's position. He was seated in the
library of the former private Office OF
the emperor in the winter palace.
The premier, pale and earnest, sat
at the end of a carved table. He en-
phasized the points of his statements
by tapping, the table with his fingers.
He wore a brown undecorated uni
form buttoned closely. He appeared
to be fatigued from his trips to the
front and his constant audiences.
The correspondent called attention
to contradictory reports on Russian
conditions. He asked the premier for
frank statement.
cit has been said by travellers re-
turning from England and elsewhere
to America that opinion among the
!people, not officially but generally, is
that Russia is virtually out of the
war;" it was explained.
NJ Kerensky laughed.
THAT" he answered, sis a ridicu-
Ious question Russia Is taking an
enormous part in the war. One has
only to remember history. Russia be-
gan the war for the allies. While she
was already fighting, England was
only preparing and America was only
observing.
"People who say we are out of the
war have short memories. We have
fought since the beginning. They
must now take the heaviest part OF
the burden upon their shoulder.
| "At present Russian public opinion
is greatly agitated by the question:
Where is the great British feet now
that the German feet is out in the
Baltic?"

EARLY MAN FIGHTING ANIMAL
Ancestors Of Present People We're
Called Upon to Face Beasts That
InhabitedSPIainsa and Rivers

The first houses were caves. Early
man was fighting animal, and had to
contend against the huge and ferocf-
GUS beasts that infested the plains and
rivers, observes a writer. His dwelling
naturally had to be place of security
as well as habitation. Caves were
natural and artificial, the latter being
followed out of solid rock by rude flint
instruments. Most of them were form
ed In the sides Of cliffs and among:
high, rugged hills.
To those early ancestors of ours, the
primeval men and women who secured,
as one would think, but scanty shelter
and protection from these stone caves.
and holes In the rock, we apply the.
generic term of cliff jewellers.
They were entirely ignorant of agri-
culture, and subsisted by hunting and
fishing and on the natural products
they found growing In a wild state.
What is very remarkable, at our
very doors can still be seen the typical
houses and handiwork of those pre-his-
toric tribes in the caves of the Lancos
river In southern Colorado. These, in
most instances, are as well preserved
as when their ancient occupants de-
serted them-perhaps 10000 years
ago. When inhabited they were reach
ed quite frequently by notches cut In
the rock, and at other times rope lad
ders must have been used.

Gladstone a Hard Worker.

Gladstone was a hard worker, with
no breads with regard to work, says
the American Magazine.
He turned from political RESPONSE
bilites of the heaviest to Greek for
recreation, and lived his four-score
years and more, just as Pope Leo
XIII, turned to Latin poetry for his
relaxation from worldwide burdens,
and lived on beyond four-score and
ten, living so hopefully that when,
at the little dinner given him on his
ninetieth birthday, one of the cardin-
ais said, in proposing a toast to him,
Here's that you may live to be a
hundred, holy father" the old pontiff
replied: "But why limit me to a
hundredT'
They were contemporaries Of Ranke,
the German historian, who at the age
of ninety-one proposed to write his
tory of the world in II volumes, one
volume to be completed each year,
and actually lived, believe, to com
plete nearly half of 1t.
These men had no breads; but they
allowed their energies to work on,
without any fear of exhausting their
vitality.
