 Thousands File by it
Republican A. p. Leased VJ!re1

NEW YORK, July !a-Silent, sad dened citizens in seemingly endless lines marched through the rotunda of the city hall tonight past the flag draped coffin in which reposed the body of Major John Purroy Mitchell.
 The coffin had been sealed before it was brought to the historic building to lie in state where the bodies of Abra- ham Lincoln and U. s. Grant once rested. Those who passed before it felt no shame in the tears shed for the young officer who left the mayors chair to serve his country and fell to his death in a Louisiana aviation field last Saturday.
 Flags His Mourning
 There was no shade of black within the city hall. On the wall was hung an American flag, flanked by the col ors of the allies. A soft spotlight played on the flags and another on the coffin. beside which was a stand of United States flags.
 A service flag of white with a mar row black border, bearing single golden star, was draped beside the casket. while another gold service star on a shield was hung between the cen- ter pillars of the building.
 At the stroke of five a troop of mounted policemen galloped into city hall park giving warning to the thou sands gathered there that the body of Major Mitchell had arrived from the home of his widowed mother to lie in state in the building where he ruled the affairs of the city for four years. Thousands Pay Tribute At 5:30 the iron gates of the city hall were thrown open and word was carried to the waiting throng that the body of Major Mitchell was lying in state. From then until far into the night, men, women and children filed past the coffin at the rate of 200 a minute paying a final tribute of re- spect.
 The first in line was a little boy ir a sailors suit. He was followed by an aged woman, dressed in black ant behind her was a bareheaded woman with baby in her arms. Then camt flood of New York's citizens of ev. cry race and every walk in life.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

PAOLA, Kas., July 11.-Three per sons were shot and the mail and eX- press cars were footed by 13 bandits who held up a fast Missouri. Kansas and Texas passenger train early today at Koch, siding three miles east of this city. They compelled the engine crew to detach the mail and express cars and ran them away and then fled north in motor cars.
 The victims of the holdup were re- ported to be Fireman R. E. Carter, Parsons, Kas., shot in left ankle; E. C. Witcher, train auditor, Parsons, shot in thigh: Mrs. L. D. Williams, a pass enger, whose home is believed to be in Oklahoma, shot in the shoulder. They have been taken to a hospital at Par ker, Kas.
 Held Up on Siding
 The train, No. 27, whicNleft Kansas City at 9;30 o'clock last night bound for Galveston, Texas, had taken the siding at Koch to let a northbound train pass when the men appeared out of the darkness.
 They compelled the engine crew to uncouple the baggage and mail cars and run them a mile or so north where they rifled them. They then took mo- torcars which had been held in waiting and fled.
 Sheriff M. A. Stevens of Ossawatomie and other officers are leading posses in pursuit. Early this morning it was impossible to learn here what precipi- tated the shooting or how much plum der the robbers secured.
 An unconfirmed report telephoned to Paola at 1 o'clock was that it was be- leved the bandits were surrounded.

LONDON. July 10.-(British Wire allied troops in Albania will add ser iously to the troubles of the Austrians. They were won by a fresh, determined action in the Balkan area where any military success must always have inn mediate and valuable political reac- tion
 The line on which fighting is going on at present runs from the river De- voli to the Adriatic. distance of over 50 miles. In addition to the French and Italian troops engaged in the bat tie, Albanian troops, under Essad Pasha, are fighting against the Aus trians and. because of their familiarity with the country are in a position to give valuable assistance.
 Although the region of the allied ad- vance is 70 miles from the Saloniii front there are already signs of nerv- ousness among the enemy troops in that area. The advance in Albania is serious threat to the right flank of the Bulgar armies Tn the region of Monastir. This is evidently appreciat- ed by the enemy and will have the ef- feet of bringing to the side of the allies many from the hill tribes which are among the finest fighting men in the world.
 Every fresh success of the allies will hearten the south Slav races, who are already in revolt against their Austrian I rulers.
 A further short advance will bring | the allies to Berat, the chief town of | southern Albania. and it is significant | that Austrian official statements admit. l the progress of the French and Italians.

 ID ENTER SIBERIA
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The sue cess of the Czecho- -Slovak legions in establishing order in Siberia and in overcoming armed opposition from former German and Austrian prisoners, has had the effect of suspending the preparation of plans by the entente and the United States for the organization of an international military force to campaign in Siberia.
 It was stated authoritatively today that none of the plans considered had met the objection of the United States government that they involved weak ening of the western front in Europe Besides this objection there has been a reluctance on the part of the ad- ministration to depart from it's policy of non- interference in the internal af- fairs of friendly country. It was ad- mitted an exception might be justified in the case of Siberia, if it were clearly established that the native population was forcibly dominated by Austro- German soldiers and influence.
