DRIVEN AS SHEEP
TO BATTLE FRONT
Letter Found on Dead German Tells
of Scene as Soldiers Are Marched
10 Conflict Under Guard.

French Front - German soldiers
from some of the towns Of Prussia
are sent to the front under armed
guard las criminals are led to the ex-
ecutioner, says a letter found on a
dead German soldier, who was killed
in a recent battle on the French front
The letter had given vivid descrip-
ton Of the scene at the departure of
detachment of reinforcements from
Saarlouis, a town in Rbenish Prus-
STA. The recruits were intended to
fill the gaps in a battalion which had
suffered heavy losses. The writer
says;
The first battalion is ordered to
furnish q reinforcing detachment Of
80 men. To escort them to the Saar-
louis station 300 men have been order
ed out, some Of them with arms, TO
march alongside the men going off and
others to act as p:ckets on the way
to the station The men were all
ready in the afternoon and had to
wait some time for another squad OF
/ comrades from the first company OF
conyalescents, who eventually ar
rived.
/ What a scene, Ahead marched q
squad of guards and to right and left
of each file two armed guards, Will;
another squad of guards brought W
/ the rear to guard these German sol.
diers-our brave soldiers in field-gra1
who, according to the magnidcently
phrased stories OF the newspapers
dash forward full of JOY and sustain
ed by love Of fatherland to destroy
our enemies.
THE detachment moved off with {
band playing march. The guard!
were so numerous that there was on
for every two men of the departing
detachment. Is it not a scandal tina
our children in field-grey should b.
led to war to fight and shed thei
blood in the same way as criminal
are led to the executioner, or, still
worse, like cattle to the slaughter
house? 1t was not sufficient. that 70
hours beforehand in fact from tn
announcement Of the departure of til
detachment-even soldiers who di
not belong to it were prevented iron
going into the town by sentinels post
ed every five yards. No. it was con
sidered necessary to submit the me-
to the shame of marching to the de
, pot under guard.

CHARLES WAYNE IS PLAINTIFF
Charges Less in Grain Shipments
While In Transit Accounting
Asked In Meline Estate.

Yesterday afternoon, the first suit
involving any railroad since all lines
were taken over by the government
was brought by Charles H. Wayne of
Reynolds against the Rock Island
road, In the Rock Island circuit court.
Only the praecipe was filed. However.
the government control of the reads Is
not expected TO make any difference as
far as this matter is concerned.
1t is charged by Mr.. Wayne. who is

grain during the past few months
there has been a decrease in the
weight while in transit. the tonnage
being less at the destination than at
the point where it was loaded. weighed
and shipped His suit Is to recover
the losses thus incurred.

the Lloyd estate has come TO light in
the filing of suit by A. H. KohIer. as
attorney for Robert R. Reynolds, who
asks s1,700 as payment for legal serv-
ices rendered the heirs of the late

ROCK ISLAND rs NOW
nv DIVIDEND CLASS

Chicago. Dec. 29.-The Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway is again
in the dividend class. The directors
met in New York and voted a semi
annual distribution of 81 per cent on
the 7 per cent preferred stock and 8
per cent on the 6 per cent preferred.
The directors FASTENED this action
in order, as intimated yesterday, to
put the road in the dividend paying
column ba'ore the government as4
sumed operation. The directors now
feel that they come under the shelter
of the presidents proclamation, which
proposes to guarantee earnings equal
in amount II the average of the last
three years.
According to Charles Hayden. chair
man Of the finance committee of the
Rock Island, the average earnings of
the property covering 1915, 1916 and
1917 were approximately S. share
on the common stock, in addition TO all
interest charges and accrued dividends
on the two classes of preferred stock. .
But for the attitude of the govern
ment Rock Island would not have de-
clared the dividends at this time In
the last half of 1917 net earnings were
falling rapidly behind those OF the pre-
ceding year The costs of operation
and maintenance suggested that earn
/ ings be kept in the treasury. It was
not only the decrease in earnings, but
! the state of the bond market, which
made borrowing difficult, that threw
the road on its earnings for any funds
/ that might be needed.
The two classes of preferred stock
/ of the Rock Island were the sensation
of the New York market. The per
cent preferred, which closed or
| Wednesday at At, made high record
yesterday at esq The s per cent pre-
ferred, which closed on Wednesday a
So. made a high at SO. The closing
prices were points lower in the case
Of each issue.
