TOWN DUETS DOWN
Another Outbreak Expected Tonight
in Springfield, However.

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 4.-Spring-
field was quiet today after a night of
street car rioting which resembled the
destructive race riots of 1908.
A number of street cars were de-
molished when the strike sympathizers
seized them and allowed them to run
into a head-on collision. The down
town offices of the Utilities company
which owns the car lines, were literal
ly torn to pieces by the mob.
While several hundred of the rioters
were busy heaving bricks into the
building, attachments of the Ninth
and Tenth infantry arrived on the
scene and quickly routed the rioters.
All cars were running on schedule
today and no further trouble is ex-
pected until nightfaH, when it is
thought the rioters will again en-
deavor to gather.

WHAT HARRY LAUDER SAW.

Interview in New York Times:
Americans do not understand what
the war means, because they are
more than 1900 miles away and can
not comprehend the frightfulness of
the acts committed by the Huns.
When they shall have seen the trans
ports return to the United States and
have watched the mutilated and
manned men hobble down the gang
way, the blind soldiers led by their
mates, and the paralyzed and she'll
shocked wrecks OF humanity carried
on stretchers, then they will realize
what the war means to those who
have been through the fire.
Read all you can find and look at
all the pictures obtainabie of the
havoc that has been done by earth
quake, cyclone, and volcanic erup
ton in the past and you will not find
anything that can compare with the
destruction wrought by the Hun. 1t
is so hellish that it outdoes the ele
ments of God in the might OF their
wrath,
DO not think that the Americans
are goinig into this war for France
or for England. You are going into

when the war will end. Their only
thought is what shall we do tomor-
row. Five transports landed troops
from America the day before l left
my home, and saw $4,000 soldiers
pass my house; as fine body Of men
as the sun ever shone upon.
I'm one OF our hospitals I saw a
poor fellow who had one eye and
half of his face blown away, and he
talked with his mouth twisted up
toward hist ear. asked how he re-
ceived his frightfu injuries, and he
replied that it was through picking

just after IL was captured. I was one
of the first over the top said this
remnant of a human, and as | fell
forward in the dugout from which the
Germans had just fled rather hur-
riedly, l noticed a fountain pen on
the floor and put 1t In my pocket
Two days later l wanred to write n
lettar home to my wife and children
and took the pen out to use it in
stead of a pencil. AS unscrewed the
