cd This is especially true in the
neighborhood of certain places
northwest and northeast of Bador-
Viller where, it now is permissible
to say, the two raids mentioned as
having been carried out simultane-
ously took place.
Certain information obtained in
the American sector northwest of
Toul leads toI the conclusion that
the American raid there this morn
ing came at such time as to cause
the Germans to abandon plans of
their own for a raid. Normal ar
tillery fighting continues in this sec
tor, shells falling on towns on both
sides of the line. At one place the
Germans used mustard shells. A
small number of Americans walked
through the gas later.
Find Camouflage Suit
Last night an American patrol
brought in an enemy sniper's cam
outage suit, made of woven brown
ish colored grass, the same shade as
the landscape. There was the usual
work of patrols in No Man Land
during the night, but no encounters
have been reported.
Conditions were excellent to-day
for flying, and many hostile and
friendly planes were in the air. In
virtually every allied plane there
was an American observer. Once or
twice the Americans went close
enough to the Germans to try their
machine guns, but without result
one plane in which there was an
American went far back of the en-
'emy lines. 1t was the target for
hundreds of enemy shells, which
seemed to burst all around it. On
returning, the American admitted
they seemed pretty thick. but he was

Idealisrn

We cannot get away from idealism
any more than we can from charac-
ter, nor from an idealism based on
knowledge. The problem will be as
it always has been, one of making 1t
helpful and fruitful, and enlisting it in
the service Of man. 1t cannot serve
man except through other men, and as
applied by them. The greatest ideal
ever revealed to the world was the
ideal of service. There could have
been none greater. Christian people
certainly will not deny this, for it is
one of the basic truths of their re-
ligion. Idealism, service and obedi-
ence, therefore, all go together, and
are all necessary elements of SYM
metrical character. They will not lose
their Importance or value. We cannot
think Of men living together in a civil
lied society without them. For, Mtx-
ing them, men would not be men, and
society would not be civilized.-Bo

the one who gets nice,
clean wound is envied, but
the man who is struck by flying steel

less by-product Of war is pitied from

Artillerymen pray that when they

sicken at the thought of passing the
remainder of their days a burden to
themselves and others, objects of pity
and charity. Death is the least toll
Of war.
But now comes the miracle, just an
other which has been born Of the most
colossal war The reclamation of the
mutilated man, the reftting Of him

his own destiny, without aid Of charity
or pity or pension. The armless will

More Than Mal<eshift.
Mechanical ingenuity has devised
the artificial arm and leg which is
something more than a makeshift for
partially concealing the loss Of limb.
With sufficient training in its use a
man equipped with such an arm can
shave himself with an open razor, a
feat which many a man with both
arms intact will not attempt.
He can grasp a milestone and
sharpen a scythe or hold delicate
tool at lathe for work demanding
the finest precision. From his new
training the blinded man energies
capable of efficient work at the same
lathe or making furniture in open
competition with employees with I'M
impaired sight. 1t all rests with the
individual whether he applies him
self with new hope and enthusiasm to
the task of refitting himself for pro-
ductive, useful career.
France furnishes well nigh in
Vulnerable examples Of the new sur
gerry and the new training Of men who
to all intents and purposes have been
handicapped for life. Throughout the
republic re-educational schools for
mutiles have been established and are
graduating men and returning them
to the channels of peace time occupa-
lions at marvellous rate.
A mutile who has lost his right arm
- set to work performing simple ex-
ercises with his left, such as cutting
out squares and ovals from sheets Of
thin copper. After Ave or six weeks
Of this elementary training in any

ucafional school, his left hand begins
to develop some of the skill looked
for from mans right arm. Soon he
is able to write with his left, and
eventually he forgets the loss Of the
other member.
Time and Patience Needed.
Then comes the attachment Of the
Ingenious mechanical arm to the stub
Of his right. It takes time and pa
tience to learn to operate its springs
and levers and clamps. for every opera

WIFE OF POLICE
HEAD IS CALLED

HUSBAND LONG ACTIVE
IN LABOR RANKS.
Mrs Hamilton Armstrong, a Lady of
Highest Ideals, Leaves Husband
and Son to Mourn Her Loss;
Funeral Wednesday.

Mary Jennie Armstrong, wife of
Chief of Police Hamilton Armstrong,
died at the family home, 1160 Gay
lord street, at o'clock Sunday morn
ing after an illness of several years.
A complication of diseases was the
immediate cause of her death, altho
she had long been a sufferer from
heart trouble.
Mrs. Armstrong had been bedrid-
den for three months and all hope
was abandoned three weeks ago for
tality that astonished attending physi-
clans. 1t was announced by them
Friday that if she lived during the
week, she had an excellent chance
for partial recovery. A change for
the worse was noted in her condition
Saturday, however, and Chief Arm
strong was called from police head
quarters late in the afternoon and re-
manned at her bedside until the end.
Funeral services were held at 10
o'clock Wednesday morning from the
st. Barnabas Episcopalian church,
Thirteenth avenue and Vine street.
The Rev. Charles H. Marshall Off
ciated.
Among city officials who attended
the services in a body were Mayor r.
w. Speer, w. F. R. Mills, manager of
improvements and parks; Clair j.
Pitcher, manager of revenue; DR.. w.
H. Sharpley, manager of health and
charity; Dewey C. Bailey, manager of
safety and excise; F. d. Stackhouse,
city auditor; Louis f. Bartels, J. A.
Burnett, John Conlon, Harry thinner
hackel, oJseph R. Rees, E. " Hol-
land and Louis Straub, members of the
city council. Several state officers
also attended More than a hundred
members of the police and detective
departments attended the funeral in
a body.
The pallbearers were Police Cap
tains H. r. Williams, r. NJ. Carter and
Frank W. Lee, Chief of Detectives
Washington Rinker, L. H. Newton,
secretary to thee hief, and Harry Nc
Cabe. Burial was in Riverside ceme-
terry.
Mary Jennie Ruckman and Hamil
ton Armstrong were married in Sep
tember, 1902. Two children were
born, daughter and a son. The
baby girl died several years ago, the
son, Hamilton Armstrong, Jr., 13
years old, survives.
Aside from her husband and son,
Mrs. Armstrong is survived by three
sisters, Mrs. Emma Bine of Fort
Worth, Texas; Mrs. Lily Reed and
Mrs. Ida Riley, both of Seattle, Wash.
All were present at the Armstrong
home when Mrs Armstrong died.
Hamilton Armstrong is a charter
member of Denver Bookbinders Union
and former president of the Trades
and Labor Assembly.

VOTES TO KILL
STRIKE SECTION
Continued from Page on-J

ing government contracts from them.
Yet this board is as much as Congress
would grant in any event to the wage
workers. The labor men in the House
may possibly be able, on their part,
to prevent the adoption of any meas
ure which would permit of forced work
in private establishments.
That is the great danger in this
situation-that Congress close its eyes
to British experience and adopt la
Dor conscription law. The British
passed their anti-strike law first, and
discovered its uselessness afterward.
Senator Hollis warned the Senate of
this fact, but no attention has been
paid to his warning.
Anti-Labor Declaration.
Here is a quotation from Senator
Calder of New York, which reflects
the sentiment of these anti-labor
forces in Congress-:
81 do not propose that we shall kill
men who stop work, but l propose
that men who stop work in govern
ment plants during the war shall be
denied the right of unemployment
while the war exists, and / join with
the junior senator from Alabama
(Underwood) in saying that not only
would / deny them work in govern
ment plants during the continuance
of the war, but / would say to them
that they shall be required to take
their place side by side with the
American soldiers in France who are
struggling to uphold the dignity and
honor Of the nation" .
Happily for organized labor, the
national war labor board will meet
in Washington on Tuesday, and will
at once begin to straighten out some
of the most serious labor difficulties
in war industries. A reassuring word
from Messrs. Walsh and Taft may
calm the Senate, and prevent further
stoppage Of work in shipyards. For
there is no dissent from the view that
shipyard work and work upon muni-
tions, food shipments, ETC., is needed
today more than at any time in the
memory Of men now living, to pro-
tect democratic institutions and ten
denotes in government thruout the
world. Organized labor is merely
asking that its civil liberties shall not
be trespassed upon, when 1t is doing
it's utmost in the field Of production.
The fact that a great many strikes
have been found necessary in the past
few months is proof Of the blind sell
fishness Of American employers, who
have in each case refused a fair ad-
justment of wages and conditions Of
labor. Now that the national war la
Dor board is organized on perma-
