The Trip Was Made By Spe- cial Train From Chicago
 Saturday Morning.
HAYWOOD CHEWED
 GUM; FULL AT EASE
Declared Bomb Explosion at Chicago Hastened Their
 Arrival at the "Pen."
By The Associated Press

By The Associated Press
 Leavenworth, Kans., Sept. 7.-Wil- liam D. Haywood, secretary of the Industrial Workers of the World, and 92 other members of the organization convicted in Chicago on charges of violating of the espionage act, were received into the federal penitentiary this afternoon.
 The trip, which was made by spec ial train from Chicago, was without incident and upon their arrival in the prison yard, the 93 prisoners quietly left the coaches, formed in line and marched into the penitentiary build- ing.
 After the regular formality of being received into the custody of the war den, the prisoners were assigned to cells.
 Chewing Gum. ....
 Haywood, chewing gum and appar- ently at his ease, entered the prison from about the center of the long line.
 He declared the recent bomb ex- plosion in Chicago was very unfor- tunate and inopportune and that be- cause of the occurrence it had caused them to be hurried to the prison here, interfering with their efforts to ob- tain bail.
 His Statement.
 In final statement to the news paper men, Haywood, reasserted his innocence and that of his assistants of any efforts to hamper the United States in it's war program.
 'I was opposed to war before the United States got into it," he said, but since then have never done any thing to hinder it..
 'The Industrial Workers of the World believe fully that Prussian junkerism must go.'

Break In American Line In Woods Strengthened Out
 In Fierce Fight.
GERMAN WOOD WAS
 PACKED WITH HUNS
In Addition to Driving Out
 Boches They Capture 56 For Souvenirs.
By The Associated Press

By The Associated Press With The American Army on the Aisne Front, Sept. 7.-The attempt of the Germans to retain their foothold on the south side of the Aisne canal in wood to the west of Villers-En- Prayeres was nullified by a small morning.
 The dense little wood had been packed with machine guns, under cov- CT of the German guns.
 The only break in the American line along the canal was at that place. Clean Out Wood. The task of cleaning it out began at in the morning andw sa complet- ed before ten.
 There was no opportunity to take prisoners, but the toll of German dead was great as compared with the mag nitude of the engagement. The gener- al line held by the Americans has not changed.
 Take 56 Prisoners. From one place the Americans brought in 56 prisoners, members of one Guard divisions.
 Among them were two officers, one of whom is Lieutenant Casper Aver sleben whose father is reputed to be one of the emperor's advisers.
 It was this lieutenant who comman- ded the detachment that recently com pelled small American force to eva- cuate Fismette. It was the organiza- tion to which that force belonged that captured him.
 The capture of the wood near the canal was accomplished after inten- sive artillery preparation and in the face of smothering machine gun and artillery fire.
 Tanks Creep in Close.
 The Americans crept close in dur ing the darkness and rushed the woods about five o'clock.
 From the woods in which gun nests were left to give sharp greeting but the real line of bursts was from beyond the canal.
 But this was met with strong American coupter fire. The raising of smoke screen north of the Aisne early in the day gave rise to the presumption that possibly the Ger mans were already moving back.
 This was dispelled by later develop ments altho it would not surprise any, one if they withdrew shortly.
 From one prisoners come an ex- planation of why Lieutenants lately have been found commanding com panies.
 He said orders had been issued that because of the scarcity of officers, companies in the future should be commanded by lieutenants, battallions by captains and regiments by majors.
 The new forces were brought up along the Aisne to the west of Fismes where the Germans are entrenched along the canal parallel to the river. The big guns behind the Franco American line were set in play upon formations far to the rear, while all the crossroads were subjected to a punishing fire.

@ All You Need Is a 2 and a 5 @
John Burroughs Rabbit.

In July the woodchuck was forgot ten in our interest in little gray rab- bit which we found nearly famished, writes John Burroughs. It was so small that it could sit in the hollow of ones hand. We had to force the milk into its mouth. But in a day or two it began to revive, and would lap the milk eagerly. Soon 1t took. to grass and clover, and then to nibbling sweet apples and early pears. It grew rapidly, and was one of the softest and most harmless-looking pets had ever seen. For a month or more the little rabbit was the only company had, and 1t helped beguile the time immensely. In coming in from the field or from my work, seldom failed to bring it handful of red clover blos- sons, of which it became very fond. One day it fell slyly to licking my hand, and discovered it wanted salt. I would then moisten my fingers, dip them into the salt, and offer them to the rabbit. How rapidly the delicate little tongue would play upon them, darting out to the right and left of the large front incisors, the slender paws being pressed against my hand as if to detain it.
