MAN BELGIANS KILLED
DIGGING GERMAN TRENCHES

Havre, correspondence of the Assoc
ciated Press)-Male civilians in the
Belgian towns OF ~Langemarck.. Staden.
Elverdinghe. Woumen and Roulers.
which recently were evacuated by the
Germans, have been forced to work
near the German first line trenches in
Belgium. with the result that many
have been killed by exploding shells.
according to Information received by
the Belgian government. y
The civilian population Of these
towns was ordered to go to the rail-
road stations. The women. children
and old men were packed into the for
ward cars of the trains, while all men
and boys. between 16 and 60 years.
were placed in the rear cars. When
the trains started, the e cars were
%uncoupled and the occupants forced to
undertake the hazardous work near the
first mes.
In most cases the women and chill
dren did not know that they were sep
arated from their husbands and fathers
until they arrived at their destinations.
The forcible CONSUMPTION of Belgian
civilians has become most widespread
IN the regions Of Courtrai Int Menin.
where about 1000 men already have
been compelled to perform military
work.

Want Good Marksmen.

At the time of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war an expert rifle shot was re-
fused enlistment as IL sharpshooter
on the ground that good marksman-
ship Is Of no advantage ON the field of
battle. There are still some military
authorities who believe this to he the
case. They point out that when the
distance Is not accurately known, the
good rif1eman will be sure to miss,
while a vo'ley from poor mnrksmen
will ove a large area and score some
hits. Nevertheless, the policy is now
to encourage craftsmanship by every
possible means.

Treacherous Diplomat, Ordered
Out of Argentine at Once,
Denied Haven in Chile

Buenos Aires, Oct. 6.-Confirmation
was received here tonight that Count
Karl Won Luxburg. former German min
lister to Argentina, who recently was
given his passports for his connection
with dispatches sent through the Swed-
ish legation to Germany. was spirited
out of Argentina this morning in a po-
lice automobile in charge Of a police
captain and rushed to Tigre. a suburb,
where the former minister took a tug
to Colonial Uruguay. From there he
proceeded by train to Montivideo, where
he boarded a Spanish steamer.
He is said to have a Spanish safe
conduct which, according to diplomats.
is sufficient to protect his person but
not his papers, from capture. Tho
steamer sailed later for Spain.
Flight was the only alternative for
Won Luxburg. as Argentina had de-
manded yesterday that he depart from
the republic Immediately. Chile and
Paraguay had informed the Argentine
government that the count was per.
soma non grata to those countries.

RURAL MAIL BOXES.

Mr. Mills has changed his mail ser
vice to a Ford and finds that some OF
the mail boxes are in inconveniently
places as to greatly delay the delivery
of the mail. Since the law requires
rural mail boxes to all be placed at
convenient locations where they may
be served without causing the driver
to get out of the rig, all rural mail
patrons on the Shoshone route are
requested by Mr.. Mills to see that their
boxes are located according to the law.
Mr.. Mills will be patient with delin-
ouents for awhile but a prompt COM
pliance with this request will save dis
continuance of mail service 70 boxes

took out a set Of cabinet makers

was quiet. Tom sat on the noor with
crossed legs. Dot sprawled at her
fathers feet. And Nun quietly

cold nose into Dots face to let her
know he was still there
That is the way the wonderful au-

earth in the opinion Of the children

The automatic garden Is built in

Mr.. Sims are two motors that run II,
and the metal track upon which the

With travel for the holiday season
three times as great as 1t ever has
been in the history OF Washington
the Terminal Station has been put to
severe test, according to superin-
tendent W. J. Wilson. in a statement
today.
Saturday the ticket sales were
equal to the total of business handled
during the entire holiday week in
1914 and three times greater than
the heaviest day recorded last year.
Notwithstanding the thousands OF
soldiers the station has been called
upon TO handle and the thousands Of
soldiers families bound for canton
ments TO spend Christmas with their
husbands. there has not been one sin
gle accident reported and not one in
pie handled In a few days without an
accident or injury reported IL consid-
cred by Terminal officials to, eonstl-
tute standing record.
Another test to which the Terminal
is put is the handling Of twenty -hve
additional carloads OF mall for the
cantonments daily. The express busi-
ness was never 80 heavy, officials say,
and in addition to the regular express
depot that has been adequate in the
pact, one Of the freight houses has
been taken over by the express people.

thrill.
Miss Florence Etheridge. a member
