At GAS in the evening the great

the boys are much more susceptible
to religious influence than when the

While going along the Strand In
London the other day | looked UP at
building from the street and saw
American Y. NJ. c. A. OF course went
In and found one Of the brightest and
busiest spots in London.
1t Is called the Eagle Hut and while
especially for home for oar boys when
they go to London yet 1t Is open to the
soldiers OF all the allies. The first room
rs very large and filled with tables and
these were well niled with men OF
several nationalitics. They were eat
ing and drinking tea and chocolate and
seemed to be having fine time.
One of the leaders seemed to take
pleasure In showing me around.
A large room. coy and homelike had
great easy chairs and tables upon which
papers and magazines lay scat
tered about At nearly every one or
these were some soldier boys. In one
corner was phonograph and, any one
could so and play 1t to his hearts con-
tent. A piano. too, frightened another
corner.
Still another room was marked
quiet" 1t was the library and there
were hundreds OF books. Surprising
how many Of the chaps were in there
reading rather than paradng the
streets OF the city.
Never Closed.
Then came the doromitor!es and
here great rows Of clean comfortable
beds met the eye. This building Is
never closed and soldier will find
welcome at o'clock In the morning
Just as hearty as at in the afternoon.
He can get here a good clean bed for
few pennies The buildings are arranged
to have 'at least 500 beds. The buildings
are erected in sections and at the close
of the war If they are not needed can
be taken apart and sent over to Bel
GUM or France and be used for tenn
porary dwellings.
A committee Of women have consent
ed to supervise the work in the building
and all the cooking and serving Is done
by women and girls. They are fine
looking lot and the influence Of these
good women will be great in making
the boys feel at home. Some OF these
ladies are almost like the real mothers
at home.
II would be hard to estimate the
power and influence Of the Red Tri-
angle in this awful war. AT every great
railroad station In London the British
Y. NJ. c. A. has large hut. When the
boys return they are always met by
the Y. II. c. A. men. Hundreds ana
thousands Of them arrive or leave in
the hours following midnight after the
tube and buses have stopped running.

SUN TO HIDE JUNE g.
Eclipse Is Billed as Big Astronomical
Attraction.

Denver Nov. 6.-Astronomers thru
out the country already are preparing
for the work of observing the total
eclipse Of the sun, which Will occur
June s, 1918. and which will be visible
in its totally along a sixty mile strip
extending across the United States
from the southwestern corner of Wash
ington on the Pacific coast to Florida
on the Atlantic. Astronomers consider
themselves unusually fortunate in their
opportunity for observiating this
eclipse. one Of seven visible in the
United States during the present Gen.
fury, in that the center line or tins
sixty mile strip passes within four
miles of the observatory at Denver
university, where photographs will be
taken.
According to Dean HerZert A. Howe,
head Of the department OF astronomy
at Denver university, this is the first
time that the path Of a total eclipse
has touched an observatory containing
telescope Of this size, and astrono-
mers are hopeful OF learning more
definitely the composition Of the suns
corona. which appears as great glow
around the sun when the polar body IS
obscured entirely by the moon.
1.-The attitude of the Rocky noun
tain region Is particularly favorable to
observations" Dean Howe said, land
astronomers from all parts Of the
United States are preparing to mako
observations in this vicinity. Because
of the moisture in the air on the Pacific
coast, as well as the low altitude there
and at points east OF Colorado, the
Rocky mountain region is virtually the
only place where satisfactory observa-
lions can he made"
Prof. Edwin b. Frost, director Of the
Yerkes observatory Of the University
Of Chicago, already has made arrange
ments to use the facilities Of Denver
university for making his observations,
and now is constructing special appa-
ratus to be used in connection with the
| telescope equipment here.
To guard against unfavorable wealth
err conditions, another expedition from
the Yerkes observatory will be sta
toned at Green River, Wyo., which
also is near the center line Of the
path Of the eclipse. There will not be
another total eclipse visible in the
United States until 1915.
Two hours, fifteen minutes. and
twenty-one and ve-tenths seconds viii
elapse from the time the moon first
| intervenes between the sun and tho
earth, and the sun will be totally OBJ
scured for a period Of 1877 seconds.

curb with two young men In the

tended to them to take a ride. The girls
both hesitated. but upon being urged
they finally consented. The car was
driven thru the city and northwest OF
town, and after reaching an isolated
spot in the timber along the Maple
river about a mile and half from Ida
Grove the car was stopped and the
object OF the ride was explained.
Miss Knutsen escaped from her as
sailant and ran over mile before she
could get help, and when assistance
was sent to the other girl she was
found In an unconscious condition from
a brutal beating that had been given
her by the two assailants. She re-
manned conscious long enough to scare
the men away by screaming and cry
ing for help and thus frustrated their
designs.
Monday morning it was discovered
that the car belonged TO Mail Driver
Dunkelberser at Arthur, in the eastern
part of Ida county, the license number
being 2o7.5O5. An alarm has been sent
out to the sherifrs OF the surrounding
