Join the Red Cross

What day that will be when the
tidings are flashed over sea and land
that peace has been declared! From
ten thousand times ten thousand
steeples what bells will ring out, as
if they were human beings, their wild
delight at the long -hoped-for event!
Never, in the history of the work, will
there have been such day of univer-
sal joy.

Trouble Ahead Now.

Before the first train has been
operated under the new management,
the owners of the Leavenworth & To-
peka railroad have kicked up a red
hot row among themselves. Charles
H. Trap, who with Walter A. John
son, became the volunteer saviors of
the defunct road-providing their
own publicity and picture privileges
have now found bug in the soup.
1t is the contract held by o. P. Byers.
permitting him to operate the road
and hanCle the cash, which has
aroused suspicion and threatened dis
ruption of organization in advance of
operation.
Byer's contract with the pauper and
orphan road is now severely criticised
by Trap, who flags Dyer for most
of the sins of the world, then mildly
and modestly devotes half of the last
page of a paper he issues to the re-
publication of a laudatory story in
which Trap receives full credit for
finding" Byers.
They Encouraged Dreaming.
For several weeks investors in the
Leavenworth & Topeka have been as
sured of success of the project under
management of patron investors. The
dreams of possible and probable re-
eral court had refused to permit the
patron owners to sell the road and
give title. None the less Trap and
Johnson encouraged dreaming
Patrons and investors were neatly
tucked in bed and coddled to sleep
with songs of future success when
Trap discovered" Byers.
Now there is hair in the butter.
Trapp has suddenly found that the
man delivered to save the road and
build up dividends for the investors,
has merely provided himself with
safe, sane and sound contract. III
short, Mr.. Byers's own interests are
carefully protected. He pays little
and gets everything. He can let loose
at any time he desires. He can re-
sign, withdraw, quit, walkout. There
is nothing binding on him, so far as
Traps latest discovery is concern
ed. On the other hand the resident
and patron investors can't let loose
except to say goodby to everything.
They must meet the deficits. put the
road in first class condition, repair
the roadbed. build the bridges and
buy the rolling stock Byers merely
operates the road, pays an annual
rental of. $4,000 and quits whenever
the O'Clock whistle blows or he de-
cides he does not like the job.

doesn't mention the services of the

Sea-Cauaht In a Storm, Their
Little Boat Capsized.

New York.-The toll of dead and
missing from the raid of German sub.
marines against shipping off the
American Coast apparently stands at
So, all from the steamship Carolina, of
the New York and Porto Rico line.
Sixteen of this number are known
to have persisted when one Of the
ships boats capsized in storm Sun
day night after the vessel had been
sunk. The fate of the others is not
known but it is hoped they have been
picked up by passing ship and will
reach shore safely.
Officials of the company have placed
the number of passengers aboard of
Carolina when she was attacked LIS
miles off Sandy Hook at 220 and the
crew at $50, making $50 in all.
Captain Barbour of the Carolina re-
ported to the company that he was on
board the schooner Eva B. Douglass
with $50 passengers and 81 of the
crew.
A boat containing % survivors,, 81
passengers and of the crew, arrived
at Atlantic City.
Another lifeboat with 10 passengers
ard one member of the crew arrived
at Lewes. Del, with the report that 16
of the IS, who had started from the
ship, had lost their lives in the storm
Sunday night. If the company's fig
ures, as to the number aboard, the ILL.,
starred liner are correct, this leaves
AZ unaccounted for. That number
might have been crowded into one life
boat. The only possible clue to their
fate was found in the fact that an
empty boat marked with the name of
the Carolina was picked up at sea by a
British steamship. 1t had every evil
dence of having been riddled by gun
fire 1t may have carried the pas

Not Only Holding the Germans Back,
But Driving Them From Posi-
tons They Had Taken.

American Army in Picardy.-Ameri
can troops cooperating with thu
French west of Chateau-Thierry, NORTH
of the Marine, the nearest and mos,
critical point to Paris reached by the
enemy, have brilliantly checked the
onrushing Germans, beating of repeat
ed attacks and in1licting severe losses
thus adding to the glory of American
history.
The troops began to arrive on the
battlefront on Saturday and par
ticipated in the fighting almost imme'
diately. They not only repulsed the
Germans at every point at which they
were engaged, but took prisoners, with
out having any prisoners in turn taken
by the Germans.
The Americans entered the battle
enthusiastically, eager to fight, after
a long march. On their way to the
battle lines they were cheered by the
crowds in the villages through which
they passed. Their victorious stand
with their gallant French allies SO
soon after entering the line has cleo
trified all France.
The work of the American machine
gunners was particularly noteworthy.
There was at least one instance where
an entire attacking party was wiped
out.
Owing to the fierceness of the bat
tie, it has been difficult to verify de-
tails, but there were instances of the
stiffest of hand-to-hand fighting. In
this the Americans acquitted them
selves in a manner which won the
greatest praise from their French COM
rades.

French Army on the Marne.-Ameri-
can machine gunners only an hour or
so after their arrival on the banks of
the River Marine, took most active
part in the defense of Chateau-Thierry
when the town was menaced with i'm
minent capture by the Germans.
Scarcely had the Americans alight-

were ordered into Chateau-Thiei7y
with a battalion of French colonial
troops. The Americans Immediately
organized their defenses and by rapid
action and excellent shooting caused
the approaching enemy to hesitate.
