LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Enlisted men OF
the American army grinned sympathel-
ically as they watched the American
Secretary of War. Newton D. Baker,
trudging back and forth carrying the
heavy pack Of an American soldier
on his back. when he visited the camp
Of American soldiers in the Winches-
ter district while in England. The
men were adjusting their cumbersome
kits when the secretary arrived at
the camp.
II would like to try one of them,
said the secretary to the sergeant.
The Lord Mayor Of Winchester, the
camp commandant and group of SOL
diers all gathered about as Mr.. Baker
lifted the pack and adjusted it to his
shoulders. Then he trudged back and
forth two or three times carrying the
seventy pound load while pair OF
heavy hob-nailed trench boots, swing
ing from the bottom OF the kit, bang
ed about his legs.
Its heavy, alright" he commented,
as he unburdened himself, 'but not as
heavy as the Frenchman's pack. l
tried one of them on few days ago
and it gave me an additional respect
for the Frenchman as soldier"
The secretary made himself at

home and was friendly with the sol
diers. Everywhere he carried his pipe
and several times filed it from some
soldiers pouch as he engaged in a
casual conversation with the man.
'The whole country Is behind you
with everything 1t possesses" was
one OF his frequent messages to the
fighting men. In the Red Cross hos
pitfalls the secretary went through the
wards and had few CHEEKY words
for each of the patients.
In some Of the camps he dropped
in upon the soldiers at mess time
and lunched with the big crowd in
the mess tent beside little woodland
stream. He looked through scores Of
barracks and living quarters. He in
spected kitchens and spent ten min
utes watching soldiers play a scrub
game of baseball His inspection Ct
the Red Cross activities was compre-
hensive. He saw the bathing houses
in operation with long lines Of rain
coated soldiers waiting their turn at
the showers. He saw the dental huts,
with the Red Cross dentists busy at
their work. He visited several Red
Cross recreation huts and listened
to the Red Cross Jazz bands at prac-
tice.
At one camp, he found his cousin.

DR.. Garfield in a statement review
ing the present coal outlook, said the
nations fuel supplies. assembled in
preparation for an unusually severe
winter are adequate, and we'll dis
tributed; that coal stocks or hand

years.

INDEMN|TIES FOR
DAMAGE ASKED
BY FRENCH CITY
Report Shows Historical
Documents Carried Off by
Huns-Factories Stripped.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, October 2S.-Deliberate
destruction Of property and docu-
ments of historic nature was carried
out by the Germans at st. Quentin,
according to a report made to Pre-
mier Clemenceau by the municipal au-
thorities of that city, who have made
an investigation.
Ancient city documents which had
been walled up under control of the
German command and placed under
seal were found to have been remov-
ed or burned. Evidence showed that
this occurred shortly after the inhab-
itants fled from st. Quentin in March
1917. At the cathedral an attempt
was made to mine the great pillars.
but the rapid advance Of the French
prevented the Germans from carrying
out their design.
In stripping every factory In the
city the Germans carried off all mod
els and designs and even the &C
counts Of the various companies were
removed The municipal authorities
requested an allied or neutral commits
sion visit the city soon to establish
the falsity Of the statement made by
DR.. v. S. Solf, the German foreign sec
cetary that the city was destroyed by
shells from the allied artillery. Such
a visit would also, they say. establish
that the German depredations were
actuated by the determination TO
crush the economic life Of France.
The report asks that the armistice
with Germany, when arranged, Will
secure the return of all people OF the
city and occupied districts OF Germany
and that Germany be compelled to
nav indemnity and supply workers,
material, machinery and furniture 10
enable the city to rehabilitate ITSELF.

INTERESTING OCCURRENCE

That a man should live such an un-
wise life, for so many years, and then
so come to himself" as to secure such
an estimable wife, as did DR.. +. V.
Pierce, new pastor Of the First Baptist
church in %Brookings.
That on the evening Of Nov. 18th,
when the first hour had scarcely ar
rived, that they were announced to
be "at home" eight other ministers
of various denominations, and their
wives, should meet at the M. f. par
sonage, and in a body march to this
new home and spend as delightful an
hour with this bride and groom, as
could have been possible had they all
been ministers and members of the
same denomination.
That arrangements had been sc per.
fected, hat the good wife OF the
Presbyterian pastor, then conducted
this company, including the bride and
groom, to her home for another so
cial hour in which ice cream, angel
food cake and coffee were served,
(someone said "by angel hands.")
And some excellent piano music. first
by William Mast, then by DR.. Pierce,
revealing his familiarity with a mum.
Der of old folk-songs, which these
staid ministers and their wives joined
in singing with the alacrity of a glee-
full company of boys and girls.
Thus ended an evening, probably
as delightful and helpful as could have
been desired, and such gatherings
might prove worth repeating.
