Limon Is Scene of Race Fight.

Limon.-A free for all fight occurred
at the Rock Island roundhouse be-
tween a number of American and Mex
lean employees of the railroad. Bad
feeling has existed on the part of the
Americans for some time because the
railroad company sent number or
Mexicans to do the roustabout work at
the roundhouse. The Americans re-
sented the presence of the Mexicans,
believing that they should be kept at
work on the section. About a dozen
men were involved in the fight and
one Mexican was shot in the leg. and
hit on the head with a brick, causing
ccncussion of the brain.

Rome. Aug. 2S.-Slowly but steadily
the Italians are breaking down the re-
sistance of the Austrians around
Monte Santa, and making their way
east toward the border of upper Car

stubborn resistance.
The French gained an advance Of
1000 yards and captured 1000 men in

passed. Then came the carpenters
1nion, the plumbers union and the ma
sons union.
"Oh, Danny" cried Mrs. O'Toole,
'there's your father"
Now. Danny O'Toole had known
ever since he was old enough to know
anything that his father had left him
and his mother in Ireland, when
Danny was a baby, to come to Amer
lea. He was to send money home and
when he got enough together to send
for his wife and boy he would do so.
For awhile letters had come from him.
then they had ceased. His wife had
come to America to look for him.
"Which?" cried Danny.
1.-THE man on the far side, him with
the red head. Call him."
Danny. knowing only one way to at
tract his parents attention, shouted
"Redhead" with all the power Of his
little lungs. The man heard him and.
turning his head, saw kid on lamp
post waving his hat at him. Then,
lowering his eyes, he saw his wife
looking in his direction. Leaving the
ranks, he came across the street, ell
bowed his way through the crowd to
his wife, and she fell Into his arms.
Meanwhile. Danny. seeing that he
was not getting his share on this fam
fly reunion, dropped down on his IA
ther with one leg on each shoulder.
His father pulled him down into his
arms.
1.-The child?" asked O'Toole.
Eyes. It's Danny"
Danny got hug that made him cry
out. and, drawing of as far as he
could, he punched his hugger with his
little fist.
"Don't you hurt me that way ag'in!"
he said, f1ercely.
"Oh, Danny" said Mrs. O'Toole,
laughing through her tears, "your IA
Tiers so glad to see you"
That ended the O'Toole family's in
terest in the Labor day procession.
O'Toole went with his wife and boy
to their rooms, where he explained
his long silence. He had been sud-
denly taken Ill and attacked with loss
of memory. 1t had partially returned
to him and he had written his wife.
but she had already left Ireland for
America.
That was a number Of years ago.
Since then Danny O'TOole has grown
to be a stalwart young fellow, has
learned his trade and can swing a
sledgehammer with any man. And
when Labor day professions march
down the street between admiring
crowds Danny Is sure to he among
them. And he takes great interest
in the day because 1t is the anniver-
sary of his first meeting with his IA
then in America and of his family re-
union.

PRESIDENT EXEMPTS
HEADS OF FAMILIES
MARRIED MEN WITH DEPENDENT
WIVES OR CHILDREN ARE
DISCHARGED.

President Wilson this week ruled
that wives of men selected in the
draft should not. because they hal
employment before marriage, be
thrown upon their own resources or
upon the charity Of their own or their
husbands parents for support.
He ordered that all men upon whose
labors their wives or children depend
entirely for support, should be ex-
empted. His action was taken in re-.
spouse to nationwide protests against
the harsh Interpretation placed on the
draft law by the provost marshal gen.
erals Office that woman whose par
ents or whose husbands parents we're
able and willing to support her and
her children. or who was qualified to
gain her own support, should be
thrown upon those resources and her
husband sent to war.
The presidents orders were con-
tanned in letter to Secretary Of War
Baker, IN which he made the follow
ing statement:
I'VE ought, as far as practicable, to
raise this new national army without
creating the hardships necessarily en-
tailed when the head of a family is
taken, and I hoped that for the most
part those accepted in the first call
would be found to be men who had
not yet assumed such relations.
"The selective service law makes
the fact Of dependents. rather than
the fact of marriage, the basis for ex-
