and Is enlisted men lost their lives
when the United States destroyer
Chauncey was sunk in the dark by a
collision early Monday in the war
zone.
Vice Admiral Sims reported the &C
cident. He said the Chauncey's COM
mander, Lieutenant Commander Wal
ter e. Reno, died at his post on the
bridge.
The official announcement made by
the navy department gives no details.
1t was learned unofficially, however,
the Chauncey was rammed by large
merchantmen dashing to port. Both
ships had all lights out.
The Chauncey sank within few
minutes after being struck. it was be
lieved in naval circles, because of the
heavy casualty list. The vessels nor
NAL complement was 81 men, indicat-
ing that at least 20 were saved.

U-BOAT CREW TAKEN BY U. S.
Germans Forced to Bring Submarine
to Surface After Depth Bomb Is
Exploded by Destroyer.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Forty mem
bers Of German U-boat crew were
captured, one German was drowned
and another died of wounds when
American destroyers captured sub
marine. The Teutons raised their
hands in surrender after they had
been forced to the surface by Grip
pied rudder, which had been struck by
destroyer's depth bomb. While thus
showing their surrender they treach-
erously opened the valves, causing the
vessel to sink after the American de-
,stroyer had cast tow-line to the T.
boat. Admiral Sims in reporting the
attack to the navy department omitted
mention of the destroyer's name. The
action occurred In the war zone sever
al days ago, and the submarine went
down while one destroyer was at.

OFFICER WHIPS 8 TEXANS
Major CIinnin Of Illinois Wins "Bout"
With CattIemen at Houston
Camp.

Houston, Tex, Nov. 3d. There are
three sadder and wiser cattlemen in
south Texas. Two days ago one OF
them threatened to tar and feather
Mai. John v. Clinnin Of the One Hun.
dred Thirty-first infantry, and he,
with two others. started out to make
good the threat. They came with
guns strapped on their hips and blood
in their eyes. When they left the
blood was running from their noses
and down their cheeks. About three
weeks ago the first cattleman COM
planned to Major Clinnin that soldiers
we're burning thousands Of dollars
worth of his property, near the rifle
range. where Major Clinnin is as
signed. The major found there was
no basis for the statement. This an
gered the cattlemen. For years Ma
Tor Clinnin held the heavyweight box
ing championship of the First Illinois
infantry.

RUN ROADS AS ONE SYSTEM
Lines Submerge interests in Effort to
Coordinate Servicesefor War
Embargo on Luxuries Near.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Henceforth,
for war purposes, there is just one
railroad system east Of Chicago; New
York Central, Pennsylvania, B. & O.,
Erie and the rest of them are merely
historical names.
These roads will be operated as a
single big system by committee COM
posed of the vice presidents of the
various lines. The railroads will be
administered with the sole purpose OF
getting freight handled in the most
expeditions way.
The war board directs shat all
available facilities on all railways
east of Chicago be pooled to the ex-
tent necessary to furnish maximum
freight movement"
1t is pooling Of governmental trans
portatiOn agencies Z S well as the rail-
ways. AS part of the program, the ma
tional fuel administration is asked to
arrange for supplying the various coal
markets from the nearest coal mines.
There is to be no delay in putting
the new system into effect. The in
land waterways are to be developed
and thus some of the pressure will be
taken off the railways. The commit
tee which will operate eastern rail-
roads as unit will suggest:
1. A practical embargo on Injuries
after the Christmas deliveries.
2. A request to the public to reduce
pleasure travel.

WILL AVOID RAIL TlEUP
UNION LEADERS PLEDGE EFFORT
TO PREVENT STRIKE.
Assure President Wilson of Willing
ness to Consider Any Proposed
Solution of Problem.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The railroad
brotherhood chiefs, in a statement Is
sued on Wednesday after two-hours'
conference with President Wilson on
the wage dispute, announced that any
suspension of transportation would be
avoided, and declared their willingness
to discuss and consider any proposed
solution of the difficulties.
The statement of the brotherhoods
signed by the four chairmen, Messrs.
Stone, Lee, Carter and Garretson, fol-
lows:
'ssThe men who comprise the railway
brotherhoods are thorough Ameri-
cans. they believe in American stand
ards of living and in consequence OF
this realize that standards Of pay
that were established in 1912 and 1913
are inadequate to meet present-day
prices of commodities, and for that
reason are demanding an increase
in present rates that will meet half at
least of the increase in cost of those
things they are compelled to buy.
'"They want to cooperate in every
way that it is at all possible In the sue
cessful prosecution Of the war, and
are determined to do everything with
in the bounds of reason to avoid In
terruption of railway transportation.
"Being fully conversant with their
attitude and desire in this matter we
are in a position to give the assur-
ance that if a situation should arise
which threatens the interruption OF
transportation the men whom we rep
resent would be more than willing to
discuss and consider any solution OF
the difficulty which presented itself,
doing so in the spirit of patriotic CO.
operation and would undoubtedly CO.
operate with the government to the
utmost extent in arriving at a just,
equitable as well as patriotic con-
clusiOn.'

10 KILLED BY BOMB
NINE OFFICERS AND WOMAN
LOSE LIVES IN POLICE STA
TON AT MILWAUKEE.
SIX SUSPECTS ARE ARRESTED
Criminals Responsible for Deaths Be-
lieved to Be Members of Band OF
Italian Anarchists With
lconoclastic Ideas.

Milwaukee, Nov. 27.-That the bomb
which killed ten persons, injured two
and wrecked the central police station
here Saturday night may have been
manufactured by experts in Chicago
is the theory that now holds the atten-
ton of the authorities who have the
investigation in charge.
This theory, the plan of offering or
substantial rewards by the city and
state for the arrest of the criminals
responsible for the explosion and the
detention of half dozen Italians were
the outstanding developments in a
crime that has stirred the community
as it has not been aroused in half a
century.
In addition citizens have already
started pouring in subscriptions for
the families of the police officers and
the woman who met death when the
bomb exploded.
The bomb was found in Rev. Gull
liani's church by Miss Maude Richter,
church organist She sent an Italian
boy, Tony Massone, with it to the Cen
Keeper Deckert. The station keeper
carried it into the squad room, where
detectives and police coming on or just
going off duty were assembled. A mo-
ment later there was flash and a
roar. Buildings rocked for blocks
around. The smoke cleared. Where
detectives and the station keeper had
stood was a mass of wreckage and
fragments of human bodies.
Gov. e. L. Philip and Aldermen
William I. Greene and Louis Weiss
were authority for the statement that
substantial rewards would be offered
by the city and the state.
The list of dead follows:
Frank M. Caswin, detective; Henry
Deckert, station keeper; Fred w. Kai-
ser, detective; David O'Brien, detec-
tive; Stephen II. Stecker, detective;
Edward Spindler, switchboard opera
tor; Albert Templin, detective; Paul
Weller, detective; Miss Catherine
Walker, an employee of the Pietsch
dye works, in station to make COM
plant; Charles Zehauer, detective.
1t is the belief of Chief Jansen that
a band of partly organized Italian an
archists with iconoclastic, ideas who
live in the Bay View section Con the
South side) of the city is responsible
for the death of his officers and the
woman.

THE WooDPEckER.

The woodpecker bores right through
the bark of trees to get at the bugs
that otherwise might injure them. You
have often admired doubtless the gay
little crest on the woodpecker's beak
He Is not only a faithful worker, but a
handsome fellow.
There is story about the wood
pecker that may please you.
The FIRST woodpecker, according to
the fairy stories, had some gifts that
other woodpeckers seem TO have lost.
For instance, he could talk with man.
He wished very much to be friendly
with the human race.
1t happened that near the home of
the woodpecker there lived a fierce
wizard. His castle was in the middle
OF big black swamp, and whenever
he walked abroad his breath poisoned
every one whom he CHANGED to meet.
Many brave men went out to meet
the wizard, but no one was able to
fight against him. Whenever a stran-
ger came along the wizard would blow
his poisoned breath and kill him.
One day a knight, very brave sol
der, began to fight the wicked old wiz
ard. He shot once, he shot twice, but
still his arrows failed to do harm. The
wizard hooted and laughed at the
knights poor craftsmanship. The ar
rows glanced off the wizards skin as II
it were steel
At last the knight had only three ar
rows left. He had vainly sent several
