SNOW DAY. GIVEN AS SUGGESTION BY MERCHANT Every One Could Get Out at the Same Time
 and Dig Into the
 Snow Banks HELP CLEAR FEM AWAY Otherwise They Will Prob- ably Remain on Streets For a Considerable
 Time
HELP CLEAR FEM AWAY

A suggestion has been made by one of the leading merchants that subscription be taken up to help clear some of the main business streets of the humps and mountains of snow which now cucumber them. There are number of idle horses in the city and it is proposed to use these and take the banks off the sides of the streets, leaving the en- tire width of the street practically level
 "It is not the intention to dig in- to the hard packed snow along the center of the street, but merely to take off the humps along the sides where the snow has been shoveled from the sidewalks. The thaw will take care of the rest. This will not cost much and those merchants who do not feel like donating can contri- bute labor
 This will not only help to clear the streets but will furnish employ ment for number of men and teams which are now idle. I am willing to head the list with $25 and l know others who will do the same If some person will get busy 1t can be carried through in good shape" he said.

UNION DEPOT Quite
LIKELY IN MANkATO
Railroad Officials Held Meeting
Here tuesday To Consider
Proposition

An important conference over the
possible consolidation of all passen-
ger lines in the city at one railway
depot was held in Mankato yester-
day. Officials from the Omaha, North
western and Great Western lines were
in the city and discussed the advsi-
bility of the plan. The possibility of
consolidating the freight traffic furth-
er and have it all handled was also
taken up, but it is not considered
likely that such action will follow.
Superintendent j. R. Welsh of the
Omaha lines. Superintendent M. j.
Boyle of the Northwestern road, Su-
perintendent l. e. Palmer of the Great
Western and a number of other road
officials were present at the confer
ence. The meeting was held in a
private car in the Omaha yards. No
definite action and none that can yet
be made public was taken Yesterday
but plans were discussed which may
lead to the establishment of union
depot in the city, all passenger traf-
fic being handled through the one of :
fee.

July 30.-[Correspondence of The

section of the front in Northern
France won the everlasting gratitude
of the civilian population Of a little
market town in the min ng district
this week by putting cut of action a
big German gun which had started in

The gun opened up very suddenly
one market day, at an hour when the
streets were at their busiest. Without
warning about noon, there was the
crash of terrific explosion in the
central square, which by the way
was located more than eight miles
behind the front line. Other ex-
plosions followed with deadly regu-
larity at intervals of ten minutes.

Gun Was Located
The task of locating the gun was
handed over to the nearby British
American airplane squadron with
certain directions as to probabilities.
Within few hours the task was
duly accomplished and photographs
were brought in which showed the
position plainly.
Unfortunately the job of putting
the big gun out of action was not so
simple. It's position was too far
back to be reached by the ordinary
counter battery guns and howitzers,
and it happened that there were no
long-range guns in the area capable of
dealing with it. To bring such guns
from another part of the lines would
mean considerable delay and speed
was vital.
1t was therefore decided that the
big gun must be bombed from air.

very day, by the same squadron

most moral army in the world, ac-
cording to official statements of the
United States medical corps Attribut-
ing the extremely low percentage of
affected men in the army to the
medical program of the United States
forces, medical officers say that the
two important factors in the pro-
duction of the most moral army were
vigorous work programs coupled with
the diversified recreations of the
camp and hygienic measures.
At meeting Of the Research
society of the American Red Cross
consisting of the medical officers of
the United States army, the plan
now in operation in the training
camps OF the United States, where
Illicit houses and the liquor traffic
is suppressed was spoken of as highly
productive of results.
The Training Camps.
The Introduction in the training
camps of the United States of ath-
letic games, Libraries, recreation halls
under the Young Mems Christian
association and other organization
lectures, and wholesome amusements
was hailed as great step in the
solution Of the problem of vice in the
army. The work of the chaplains,
the universities and the press also
was mentioned as playing a great
part in the alienation.
The education of men along moral
lines conducted by the medical
officers, through literature which was
distributed among the men, by ex-
hibits and through the agencies of
the war department commission of
training camp activities served to
