HAS HIS EXTREMlTlES
Corp. James Mccormick Has Lost
Neither Leg Nor Arm.


Apparently the wild rumors which
have been floating around Topeka in
regard to Corporal James Mccormick
are unfounded. At least this, is the
impression one would get from re-
cent letter received by his sister Miss
Genia Mccormick. -
The rumors in Topeka are to the
effect that Corporal Jimmy went into
action in France and when the smoke
of battle cleared away he was minus
a leg, or an arm or all four extremi-
ties. Miss Mccormick asserts that her
brother is shorn of neither arm nor
leg nor both, that he is in full possesr
sion of all Of his members. and she
submits as proof a letter from France.
In his letter Corporal James Nc
G rmick, 23rd United States infantry,
says that he is at present engaged in
driving a motor truck, is fighting hard
to prevent being transferred to a
motor truck unit and is living in an
ticipation of the time when he will
be allowed to return to his unit.

Judge Elliott of Philadelphia Says 1t
Is No Wonder That the Blacks
From Germanys Colonies Have
joined the Allies on the West Front
and Are Staying There.

Philadelphia, May 1S,-The "back-
ward peoples he world are lining
up solidly against Germany, said
Judge Charles Burke Elliott, of Min
neapolis, in an address before the
WIN te War for Permanent Peace"
convention, under te auspices of the
League to Enforce Peace. The speak
er, who is former member OF the
Philippine Commission, discussed
Germany's colonial methods from his
long experience in the far east.
MANY thousands of the dark hued
people from the borders and hinter-
land of civilization" he said, "are
fighting and dying under the Allied
flags.
In the light of Germany's declared
designs for the conquest Of the world
and the history of two decades OF
German colonization, is it not clear
why thousands of blacks from the
edges of the Sahara joined the Brit
ish in annihilating German power III
Togo and the Kameroors, why lndla
has stood Loyalty by the British Raj,
and why the Filipinos have willingly
taxed themselves to pay for subma-
rine and destroyer for the navy!
An instinct dep and true teaches the
people that the triumph of the Cen
tral powers means their return to the
degradation and the darkness from
which they were slowly, but surely,
emerging, under the guidance of the
great liberal democratic colonizing
nations.
Germany alone has openly adhered
to the medieval, mercantile theory
that colonies exist solely for the bene-
fit of the home state. For cold blood
ed and scientific diabolism, the con-
cepticns of which rest on the German
system of colonization is without a
parallel in human history.
"The German has never been able to
deal successfully with the native peo-
pies because he recognizes only force
and frightfulness. He made himself
hated and feared, and the atrocities
committed behind the veil which en-
shrouds the dark continent but fore,
! shadowed those which have made the
German name anathema throughout
the world"

GRUELLING NIGHT
FOR THE CANTEEN MAN

A Red Cross Canteen man wearily
banked the fires under the kettles.
Their billet is in an old house near
by. BY the light of candle the Red
Cross convoyer undresses and rolls
into his blankets. Suddenly there
comes q sharp, cracking sound. and
red flare lights up the room. The con.
voyer rolls quickly out of his bunk,
catches up his blankets and runs
down the rickety stairs to the cellar.
There he finds his French assistant
and lot of soldiers. They exchange
mods and then seat themselves on
boxes Four more sharp, cracking
noises follow in rapid succession, and
a mournful roar. This is only the be.
ginning of an artillery duel which
lasts all night.
At break of day the Red Cross man
bestirs himself. shakes his assistant
and tumbles up the stairway out into
the yard. 1t is strewn with debris
shell struck the next house in the night
and blew out the wall. The convoyer
and his man set to work gingerly, for

and throw on fresh wood and then set
to work to prepare the food. Within
an hour the canteen is ready for bust.

Poor little Roumania, once so happy

LOS ANGELES IS BACKWARD PEOPLE
Conner IN RACE ARE AGAINST HUNS
Team From the Angel City Rises
Steadily"in Pacific Coast Baseball
League During the Past Week
Vernon Surprises Many Fans by
its Steady Decline.

San Francisco, May 1S.-The most
impressive performance in the Pacific
coast league during the sixth week of
the 1918 pennant race was the steady
rise of the Los Angeles club IN the
percentage column. Unofficial fig
ures at the end of the sixth week
Placed it in second position, having
risen from the cellar which it occu-
pied a little more than three weeks
ago.
Coincident with the rise Of Los An
geles has been the decline of Vernon,
which in the same time has slipped
from its leading position into third
place. The prognostications of the
critics. which were knocked askew in
the first weeks of play, gradually are
being realized with the exception in
the case of San Francisco. The Seals
generally were conceded to be an or
ganization to be reckoned with, but
preseason prognostications in this
case, thus far, have not been sus-
tanned.
At the present writing, critics gen.
e.aliy favor Los Angeles and Salt
Lake City as being the two teams to
he expected as final rivals for first
hOnors at the close of the season.
This opinion, however, is qualified by
the statement that the war draft is
likely at any time to upset the best
calculations and men who at the pre-
sent time are strong props to their
! organizations are likely to be taken
from under.
Consistent and steady bali playing
so far this season has been the. eX-
| ception and not the rule Erratic per-
| formances have been many and the
unexpected in this direction has made
it difficult for followers of the vari-
Gus teams to depend on any standard
Of. play from their favorites.
The principal weakness of the Sar
Francisco champions lies in their out.
field and the fact that they have
been undependable as batsmen. Off
Gals Of the club are doing their bes
to strengthen their outer garden ant
state that they soon hope to have the
fault remedied. The fact that PICK
was the only local man to bat in the
800 class, according to the batting
averages compiled at the end Of the
sixth week of play, is indicative Of
the weakness of their batting often
siYe. On the other hand, Los Ange
les and Salt Lake have, between the
two, more than half dozen bat.mer
rated in the 300 percent class.
