An attorney who was daily pas- senger on remote western railroad had row with the conductor one morning. When the row was over the passenger turned to friend, and Tn an audible tone remarked:
 Well, this road will never see an- other cent of my money after today"
 The conductor who was collecting tickets across the aisle glanced over and snarled:
 'What1l you do? Walk"

MAURICE IS RETIRED
Army Council Furnishes Distin-
guished British General.
Breach of Regulations Ends Career
of Former Director of Military
Operations.

London, May 13.-The army council
has retired Gen. f. B. Maurice, for
mer director of military operations,
it is officially announced.
The council considered Maurice's
explanation of the breach of discipline
he committed by writing the letter
attacking the veracity of Premier
Lloyd George and Chancellor of the
Exchequer Bonar Law and decided
that he should be placed at once on
retired pay.
The army councils action ended the
public career of the man who has
created more confusion in British
military and official circles in the last
few weeks than any other individual
since the start of the war.
Major General Maurice, as director
Of military operations, was the of
fetal spokesman for the British army
and the natural mediary between the
army and the war cabinet.
Shortly after the appointment of
General Foch as commander-in-chief
of the Allied armies, Maurice returned
from a visit to British headquarters
in France and gave out his now IA
nous Where is Blucher?" interview.
In this he drew a parallel between
the British armies in the present
drive and the British at Waterloo,
when the fate of the duke of Yelling
toms forces hung on the arrival of
the Prussian leader, General Butcher.
The "Blucher" in this case plainly
was Foch and Maurice's remarks gen.
orally were accepted as an insult not
only to Foch, but to the Versailles
war council

French Troops Capture important
Section of High Ground North
of KENNEL Hill.
ATTACK IS REFUSED
After Losing Their Front Line Posi-
tons on Southern Battle Front
Poius Recover Ground by Bril-
liant Counter Attack.

With the British Army in France,
May 13-In a strong attack the
French have captured an important
section Of high ground near the Vyver-
beck river, north of KENNEL.
Both Hill A and Goddezone farm,
which lie between La Clytte and Vier-
STRAIT, were stormed and occupied,
thereby giving the French positions
which had been a bone of contention
for many days.
The Germans also received knock
on the Southern battle front where
they made drive in an attempt to
capture defenses on the elevation
south of Maillu-Raineval Here the
enemy succeeded after hard fighting
in obtaining a footing in the French
front line at one place but their sue
cess was short-lived for a prompt
counter assault drove them out, and,
besides their dead, they left more
than 100 prisoners in the hands of the
defenders.
The battle for Hill "A was the out
come of the German attack May 8.
When the Germans assaulted, the Al
lies were holding the elevation Bit
ter fighting ensued all day long and
the Germans in the course of time Sc
cured possession of the hill. The Brit
ish almost Immediately organized a
counter attack and forced the enemy
out.
The next day the Germans again
drove forward. They made such "a
heavy assault that they again cap
tured the hill, which they held until
yesterday.
No other infantry action of import
ance has occurred in the last "a
hours.
Prisoners recently captured declare
that the German losses in their at
tack between Voormezeele and La
Clytte May were heavy.
Considerable disorganization was
cause the gas from their gas shells
blew back over their territory and
forced them to don masks.
Inactive in Flanders and Pcardy.
The German armies in Flanders and
Picardy are still inactive. Except for
their artillery wings, which are car
rying out bombardments on various
sectors, they are doing little work
anywhere.
Meanwhile the British and French
armies are letting no opportunity pass
| to peck at the Germans at points
| wharn the enemy front iS considered
particularly vulnerable.

tillery, has been slightly wounded in
action, according to Associated Press
dispatches. No details were given as

How much in the fighting Colonel
Leach has been since the 151st artil-
lery, the old Minnesota first field ar

Sculptor BorgIum Asks President
to Investigate Fully Aircraft
Statements.
ABUSE OF CONFIDENCE
Several Military and Division Mem.
bers Are Accused of Responsible
ity for Chaotic Conditions in
the Service.

Washington, May 13.-Another let.
ter to President Wilson has been
made public by Gutzon Borglum, storm
center of the aviation controversy.
Borglum begins his statement by de-
nying that he had betrayed the Pres
ident's confidence, renewing his asser-
tions Of grave misconduct in the gov
eminent aircraft production organiza-
ton, and insisting that the Senate
Military committee should conduct
openly and thoroughly the investiga-
ton which, he says, he was prevent
ed from making "by the War depart
ment under Secretary Baker,
In regard to the documents put into
the Senate record Friday which were
attempted to capitalize his friendship
with the President by secretly organ
izing a corporation to produce air
planes, the letter says Secretary
Brandegee of Connecticut will submit
to the Senate Tuesday or Wednesday
detailed affidavits and evidence relat-
ing to this deliberate frameup."
"It Is a matter Of the gravest con-
Germ to me-" the letter adds, that
credence could be given to charges
of such nature, or that they could have
been in your possession, and I have
received no intimation of the false
hood until Mr.. Marshall intimated that
there was some sort of a charge or
charges of disloyalty to you. This
is so unthinkable that l dismissed and
declined even to discuss them"
Mr.. Borglum repeats his published
answer to the charges and contin-
ueS:
ut is absurd to state that pro-Ger-
mans are clamoring for Investigations
while the Secretary of War is party
to statements, untrue and unfOunded,
issued to deceive the nation and serv-
ing no other possible purpose except
to warn Germany to hurry her own
ever and forever Just at the peak of
production
Never, / believe, in the history of
the country has group of men been
given SO completely a nations re-
sources, together with the Admins
tration's and the peoples confidence,
as have the aircraft group, and never
has such confidence been more wan
tonly abused.
'T refer here to Major General
squires, Howard E. Coffin, Colonel
Deeds and Colonel Montgomery.
These division and military members
appear everywhere in the program
planned to meet our military needs
and they appear everywhere in the
deliberate and elaborate machinery
that placed and held the colossal con-
tracts among few-they appear
everywhere in the fine network Of
falsehood and camouflage, and they
include Mr. Baker as their partner
In the common statements to the pub
lic-they deliberately lied to you and
framed up their statements, particu-
Iarly their failures; and misled Con-
gress before the Senate Military COM
mittee, and they directly are respon-
sible for no engines, no planes, no pro-
pellers and our vanished appropria,
lions

ing uneasiness along the left bank of

In the sector northwest of TouI

American patrols report the Ger

from the entire front to make up
their losses in Picardy. This prob
ably accounts for their uneasiness.

those dependent upon them and for
the yet more urgent necessities of
our allies, military and civilian, who
have long borne the brunt of war;
"And inasmuch as the American
Red Cross has been recognized by
law and international convention as
the public instrumentality for war
relief;
"And inasmuch as the year Of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands up
on the patriotism and liberality Of
our people and made evident the ne
cessity of concentrating the work of
relief in one main organization which
can respond effectively and univer-
sally to the needs of humanity under
stress of way;
"And, inasmuch as the duration Of
the war and the closer and closer
cooperation of the American Red
Cross with our own army and navy,
with the governments of our allies
and with foreign relief organizations,
have resulted in the discovery of new
opportunities of helpfulness under
conditions which translate opportuni-
ty into duty;
"And inasmuch as the American
Red Gross war council and it's COM
and economically administered the
peoples trust;
"Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as President of the United
States and President of the American
Red Cross, /, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week beginning
May 20, 1918, as Red Cross Week.
during which the people of the United
States will be called upon again to
give generously to the continuation

distress, restoring the waste of war
