THE CITY OF DREADFUL
NIGHT-THATS DUNKIRK
Bombed and Bombed and Bombard-
ed and Bombarded.

London, une l.--Dunkirk, The
City Of Dreadful Night" it is point
ed out by a correspondent Of The
Daily Mail, has been mentioned per
haps more often in French com
muniques during this war than any
other city. There are weeks when
it is rare for a communique not to
conclude with the words. Enemy
airplanes dropped bombs on Dun
kirk during the night or "A long
range shell has fired into Dunkirk. "
That seaport, the nearest OF all to
the firing line, is now scarcely less
dear to the hearts of the French
people than Verdun, and, like Yer
dun. it has been decorated for its
courage under fire. Recently
Frances biggest ship was launched
there.
The amazing thing about Dun
kirk, the writer continues, thar
it still is a city. Its inhabitants,
refusing to leave, have carried on
its normal life with indomitable
courage Tramway cars run as usual
along its cobbled streets and we'll
stocked shops are open every day.
" Neekly in the main square market
is held and the countless stalls are
well patrouized by shrewd house
wives.
The frequent bombardments from
sea. land and air are not laughed at,
although they are taken as 4 mat
ter OF course. Bedrooms. instead OF
being on the upper floors of the
houses. are now in the cellars, ard
public dugouts dot the town, as do
the air raid shelters OF London.
Scarcely I house or wall in the
town remains without its record ol
the enemy's continual efforts TO de-
strov Dunkirk

Kansas "Long Range Gun
Trained On the Kaiser

+. Frizzell, state farm labor com
missioner, says that the wage scale
adopted by the farmers here is
practically the same as that agreed
upon in other parts of the state
The scale adopted gives promise OF
a daily wage for willing workers OF
from S4 to 50 a day, while the
standard day in the harvest field is
to be ten hours, it is generally con
ceded that the men will be urged
TO put in as much overtime as they
are physically able to do, but no
premium is to be paid on overtime.
For the first time harvesting
speed will be given impetus by the
more daylight plan, it permitting
two or three hours work after the
supper hour.
Mr.. Frizzell denies emphatically
that any cold water" has been
thrown on the formerly announced
plan to get business men into the
harvest fields. He says in nearly
every town in the state some sort
OF a campaign has been put on to
enlist the city men, rich and poor
fat and lean, old and young" In
fact, the resolutions drawn up by
the farmers here laid stress on the
necessity OF the city population
coming to the rescue and repeated
the suggestion that all business
houses that possibly can be sus-
pended for a week or two, be closed
and that the men, from the boss to
janitor. go into the harvest field.
The harvest wage scale adopted
here is said to be practically the
same as those which will be opera
tive in Missouri, Oklahoma and Ne
braska for the period OF the har-
vest.

veyor who laid out the little bor-
der town, tells how the name OF
Franklin was changed by him to
FL Paso (the Pass because OF the
pass in the mountain chain near
here through which the Rio Grande
flowed to the gulf. His experiences
in the wild frontier settlement. as
told in his memoirs, are stirring
The authors story also includes
much of the early history of the
Civil War as it related 20 the south
west. After casting the only vote
polled here against the withdrawal
of Texas from the union, General
Mills was forced to leave the border
and was reinstated with his class and
given a commission in the army at
the beginning Of the Civil War, He
was promoted until he held the rank
OF brigadier general at the time OF
his retirement.
After the close OF the war General
Mills was stationed in the west. The
pursuit and capture of old Geroni-
mo, the Apache leader; the Indian
fights of the old West and ievolu-
tionary events in Mexico are re-
lated by the author in personal
way, as he participated in MANY OF
these stirring events OF the frontier
days.
As American commissioner on the
international Boundary Commission
for adjudicating disputes arising
over the boundary line between
Mexico and the United States; as
General Nelson A. Bliss companion
on a trip through Europe and as
the personal friend of national and
international characters in Wash
ington. General Mills observed keen
" national and international affairs
and includes many OF his personal
observations in his publish memoirs.
