ATTEMPT
WRECKING
OF TRAIN

What Is believed by police and
special agents Of the Milwaukee
railroad, to be a fragrant attempt
at train wrecking, was frustrated
Saturday night about IL o'clock.
When q repair gang, working
late, started for home neared the
tresue where the Milwaukee
tracks cross Bay street, they hear d
the sound of heavy tools clash
against the pavement and at the
same time saw two men swing
over the trestle and drop into the
street below, leaving behind them
in their flight, two big wrenches.
An examination of the tracks at
that point showed that the two
mysterious men had attempted to
unscrew the nuts holding teh rail
in position.
Altho the officers conducted Q
careful search in the nearby brush,
no trace Of the men could be
found, nor could the repair crew
give any accurate description OF
them except to say that they were
full grown men,"
Special agents of the railroad
and police were busy all day Sun
day investigating and startling
developments are expected.

HELP OUR
MARINES
BY FIRED s. FERGUSON

United Press Staff Correspondent.
WITH THE AMERICANS ON
THE MARINE, June 10.-The
spirit Of the mothers of America
hangs over the Marine. as the
marines-machine. gunners, in
fantrymen and artillerymen-
fight to save Paris and turn the
tide in the most critical moment
of the war.
It is OF the mothers the men
in the line are thinking. 1t Is to
the mothers that messages from
the wounded are being sent. The
chaplain leans over the incom-
ing stretchers and asks the sol
der IL he wants a message sent.
The first words of the reply al
most always are tell mother"
One boy who was seriously
wounded said: I've been sort OF
a wanderer for the last six years
I guess the folks thought l was
good for nothing. But now
wish you would write mother for
me and just tell her made
good"
Hats Save Lives.
The marines have made all
their attacks with full packs,
weighing 80 pounds. These packs
were shot clean off the backs OF
some, with the bearer escaping
entirely or with only slight
flesh wound.
A sergeant from New York had
the chin strap of his tin hat shot
off and he received only slight
cut on the face. / saw marvels
in tin hats among the men who
participated in these fights. Some
Of them had been pierced by ma
chine gun bullets without the
wearer being touched. Others had
their rims fairly ripped of and
their crowns dented like egg
shells. In most cases the wearers
got only slight scalp wounds, IL
anything.
The similarity of color between
the marine and German uniform
Is giving the enemy an. opportun-
ity for trickery by cutting off the
shoulder straps of their own uni
forms.
Don't Know the Day.
English-speaking Huns, with
their shoulder straps removed,
endeavor to get into the Ameri-
can lines by crying as they adj
vance, Don't shoot; we're mar
ines"
The marines are intensely
keyed up. The fight hasn't been
taken out of the Americans by
their wounds. One ambulance
brought in a boche and three mar
ines. They evidently had been
in some sort of an argument, for
despite the fact that they were
all badly wounded, one of the
marines invited the Hun to hop
out and fight"
The interference Of the attend
ants was not required to keep the
German from accepting.
Owing to the constant fight
ing, few officers or men, either
in the line or out, know the day
of the week or the date. Many
bets are made on this.
