 They did not stop running, however until they reached Broadway, where they met Lieut.. A. C. Merrill of Fort Flagier. and Philip Norton, 104 Sev- enth avenue north. Brandt told them ne had been shot, and they assisted him in reaching the Minor hospital.
 When questioned as to the spot where the shooting took place, Brandt save the above account, but Miss Nc Gearhart denied walking through the alley. She said they were walking east cn Madison street when the two men turned out of the alley in front of them.
 Brandt said he was positive that he had never seen either of the men be- fore. While Miss McGearhart stated that she did not recognize either of them, on several occasions young men e her acquaintance had said that they would shoot any man laying claim to her affections.

WILL GIVE RELATIVES DETAILS OF CASUALTY

To give relatives of American sold. iers details of casualties at the front, the American Red Cross has organiz- ed at national headquarters Bureau of Communication. of which William R. Castle, Jr, formerly Assistant Dean of Harvard College and Editor Of the Harvard Graduates Magazine, is director. This Bureau supplements in a personal and Humanitarian way the reports of the Statistical Division of the War Department which gives to relatives official notice when sol dier is reported killed, wounded or missing.
 The anxiety which naturally results
 rom the official report to relatives hat soldier has been wounded" or is missing" will as far as possible be lispelled by the Bureau which will ad- wise in detail the nature and extent of she wound, and will gather evidence from comrades in. arms and at the hospitals and rest camps regarding those reported missing"
 Any information of interest or con solation to relatives thus obtained Will be transmitted to them through personal letters while messages from the wounded will be conveyed through this same agency. ...
 The information on which the Bur- eau will base its reports is gathered through central office in Paris, under direction of D. Gerry Chadwick, of New York, aided by the Rev. Robert Davis; of Englewood, N. J., and thirty assistants stationed at the base hos pitals and rest camps to which sold iers are generally returned following important engagements.
 With the increase of the American forces and participation in the war, this number will have to- be greatly increased. The information will be for the most part forwarded from tho Paris office to this country by mail.

HIGH COST OF LIVING

EUREKA, Cal, Feb. 13.--Laborers
living in the country districts in Hum

board of supervisors that automobiles
have greatly increased the cost of lv.

the highways and byways, the driving
having been facilitated by a county
ordinance prohibiting the grazing of

this condition, residents of the hamlet
of Blue Lake have asked that they
be given an opportunity to aid in food
production by once again pasturing
their Jerseys on the roadsides. They

With less than a month left before

players to give up the game and take
up some essential war work. the club
owners are all topsy-turvy about what
action to take with the players con-

thus releasing all claim to the players
services. With all the star players of
the game free agents the players can
hold themselves aloof when they are re-
leased from military service and sign
with the club bidding highest for their
services.
BY releasing the players on ten days
notice, the clubs cannot hope to hold
their men by the reserve clause which
gives them first call on their players
services for the following season. Base
ball men have figured the situation out
in way which will make It possible
for the prosperous clubs to corral all
the star players when the war is over.
This state of affairs Is the very thing
which the reserve clause has prevented
in the past and made it possible for
clubs to hold their star players,
1t may be possible that some Of the
richer clubs may live up to the con-
tracts and pay the players for the sea-
son, thus holding them for mex. season,
but this would necessitate a large ex-
penditure of money with no return, and
1t is doubtful If more than one or two
of the clubs could afford to do it, There
are many players who have been tied
up to contracts with clubs season after
ries with other clubs, but have been un-
able to break their contracts. Nothing
would suit these players better than to
get chance to be in a position where
