No Natives Had Touched Meat for
IL months; Were Clothed in Rags
and Filth When Relief Came.

A terrible tale of the suffering of
French women and children in the
town of Noyon after the recent Ger
man evacuation is told in letter re-
ceived by a French relief organiza-
ton in Chicago, from Nine. Alexis
Carrel, wife of the celebrated sur
geon. Nine. Carrel took the first am
bulance into Noyon. Her letter, in
part, follows:
"Noyon is a city of some seven or
eight thousand inhabitants, but when
we got there we found at least 49,
900 people in the town, as those
from the neighborhood villages had
crowded in for shelter and for help.
They were in the cellars; they were
in the outhouses; in fact, had crowl-
ed everywhere they could, and then
a tale of horror was unfolded to us,
such as our ears had never heard
before.
every woman between the age of
IA and 80 had been carried off nine
days before the retreat began. One

SMITH DOESN'T WANT NEW
RECRUITS SENT TO EUROPE
Georgian Believes They Should Be
Kept in Training Year.

ATLANTA, Ga.-No unframed
troops will go to France if Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia can prevent
it, and there is every indication that
Georgia's senior representative in
the upper house of the national con-
gress will be entirely successful in
his fight to give the nations new
army the most thorough and careful
course of instruction and preparation
before sending them to the trenches
across the sea.
The senator is thoroughly in ac-
cord with the governments program
for vigorous prosecution of the war,
but as he declared in his recent
speech on the army appropriation
bill, ut would be criminal to send
our boys to the trenches without
thorough training, and | do not be-
lieve any men will dare to try to
send them before at least twelve
months"

two little children clinging to her
skirts were her grandchildren and
she answered: Their mother has

Thus all these people whom we
found crowded in the cellars had hid

none of the French civil population
has had any meat of any kind for

the children has been terrible. The

their condition. They were covered

MILLIONAIRE'S WITHIN
WIPES OUT VILLAGE
OWNERS WARNING CARRIED
OUT AND ENTIRE PLACE
GOES TO JUNK PILE,

BRIGHTON, Kans.-The days of
Brighton are over-it's "sWan song"
is now being sung The whim Of a
millionaire and the misfortune Of 4
coal miners strike many years ago
first caused the town to dwindle
and dwindle until its inhabitants,
one by one, had left. Now, with
junk dealers quoting war prices
for steel, iron and other scrap build
ing materials; the last remaining YES
tiges of the once prosperous town
have been sold, or are in the pro
cess of being dismantled.
Sixty Cottages to Be Raced.
The machinery of the mine and
the steel of the branch railroad from
Brighton to Lansing, Kan, con-
structed in the heyday of boom de-
velopment, have just been disposed of
to a Kansas City iron and metal com
pany. The sixty or more four and
tive-room houses still remaining on
the incorporated site have been Of
fered for sale, and reports indicate
that they, too, soon may follow the
departed inhabitants in the wagons
of salvage companies. Nearly every
thing on the old site is to be sacri-
feed, because of the wartime prices
for junk and salvage.
Employer Makes Good His Threat.
1t is said that about 100000 was
invested in mines and buildings at
Brighton during the early sos and
the town developed rapidly. But,
within a short time, differences arose
between the miners and their en-
ployer. The millionaire owner, from
his home in the East, sent back the
message that eff they struck, the
mine would be closed forever"
Doubling him, the miners walked
out But the owner made good his
word-the mines have never been
reopened. Since then the town had
gone down steadily until recently, on
ly abandoned homes and buildings
have marked its former location.

inside of it.
When the insistent screams of the
children attracted attention it was
too late to save them, but those
who examined the conditions report

Gus and that no evidence of slow suf-
fering was found.

WORLDS GREATEST
FEAT IN ENGINEERING
NEW YORK STATE BARGE CAN.
AL LONGER THAN PANAMA
AND COST $15O,OOO,0OO.

ALBANY. n. We hear so
much about the Panama canal, but
do realize that there is to be open
ed in New York state this month a
canal nearly ten times as long as the
one in Panama.
The New York state barge canal,
which is now practically completed
and ready to be opened to naviga-
ton between Buffalo and Albany, has
been called the worlds greatest en-
gineering feat, not alone because of
the many engineering problems en-
countered in its construction, but al
so on account of the many peculiar
and original structures which are to
be found in the various channels.
The Panama canal covers only
district of fifty miles while the New
York canal extended over $50 miles.
1t has to cross railroads, skirt cities,
make functions, follow river beds,
climb mountains and drop down
through valleys.
Fifty-seven locks have been built
in the canal There are ten smaller
ones. On the Panama canal there
are but six pairs of locks. At Little
Falls there is a lock which is the high
est one in the world-40 feet higher
than the Lack at the Gatun section of
the Panama Canal At Madina, this
canal goes through a gorge 90 feet
deep and 500 feet wide. Across this
there is an aqueduct built of con-
crete with a span Of 2S5 feet and
with of 129 feet.
The New York canal has 80 rams,
while the Panama Canal has only
three. The drop of the new canal to
the sea level is 563 feet. The drop
of the Panama Canal is 12O feet.
The dimensions of the new canal
vary according to the locality, but it
has a minimum depth of II feet
throughout. 1t is rs feet wide, with
earth sections Of the land line" "a
feet wide in rock cuts and has a min
imum width of 209 feet in the beds
of canalized rivers and lakes.
The new waterway is an enlarge
ment of the old Erie Canal, to which
has been added a number of impor-
tant links and feeders. The old canal
from Buffalo to Albany is 339 miles
long. The principal additions are
the Champlain canal, 81 miles long;
the Oswego canal, % miles long. and
the Cayuga-Seneca canal, % miles
long, giving total length to the new
waterway of 446 miles.
Some of the locks on the new canal
are the finest in the world, the five
at Waterford, the eastern entrance
to the Erie, having the distinction of
being the greatest series of high lift
locks in existence. They have a com
bined lift Of 1863 feet, which is one
foot less than the total lift of every
lock in the Panama Canal. Other
works on the new waterway that
have attracted worldwide attention
in engineering circles are the great
dams on the Mohawk and the great
excavations at Cohoes, where the
canal terminates in the Hudson river.
The waterway is costing the peo-
pie of the state of New York $3.50
100000 and those who have studied
1t feel confident that it will accom-
pllsh the purpose for which it is con-
structed, the opening of a modern
waterway for the easy, rapid and in
expensive transportation of goods
from the middle West to the At
lantic seaboard.

SOLDIERS CARRY STOVES

These little heaters burn a carbon
