WILD ANIMALS BARRED
 FROM U. s. BY WARFARE

The passing of elephants, tigers and imported freaks as a result of the war was mourned by circus men, side show owners, carnival promoters and fair managers attending the meeting of the Showmen's league of America in Chicago.
 Ponderous pachyderms and fero- cious lions are being held captive in African ports unable to get to this country because of the shortage of shipping. Meanwhile the mortality among denizens of the jungle import ed before the war has been so great as to threaten the very existence of zoos, circuses and side shows, it was said
 The gloom among the delegates caused by this condition was partly dispelled, however, by word from that the government would cooperate with the showmen in providing railroad transportation for their amusement so that the chil- dren of America will not have to sui fer fro ma "circusless summer"

 The amount, terms and conditions of the loan are dependent upon further legislation and will be announced as soon as Congress has granted the nee essary powers.
 Secretary McAdoo chose the 9th of April as the day to open the cam paign as the most fitting date to call for a patriotic response to the sum- mons to duty to every American, to ask from the people at home the same fervent patriotism that actuates our gallant sons on the battlefieTds of France and on the waters of the At lantic.

ROCkYMOUNT, N. C., Sept. 25.--
Saving his men who were in double
quick time from being precipitated in
front of an oncoming train, Lieut.
John Walker Of Williamsport, Tenn,

at the Atlantic Coast Line Railway
station here about noon Tuesday.
The young lieutenant was member

detrained with the rest of the men. as
is the usual custom at this point.
They had been taken on mile hike
and wer nieaehtIlci O'MOS$n'm Get
and were in the act of entering at
double quick pace when the young
officer saw the engine of the ap-
preaching train and was in the act of
halting the rush when he stepped
upon the track and was knocked
down by the slow moving train,
which was stopped before he was
mangled under the wheels.
1t was at first feared that Lieut..
Walker had been fatally injured, but
later examinations made at the relief
hospital here indicated "a fracture
and severe bruises and gashes about
his head. Physicians declared that
with the appearance of no unlocked
for complications he will recover.
His injuries, however, are sufficiently
serious to necessitate prolonged hos
pital attention that may leave him
unfit for further military service.

himself to be genius.
Soldiers and sailors, privates and
ordinary seamen, lieutenants, cap
tains and other officers photographs
grouped artistically are crowned by a
large picture of President Wilson. 1t
is most inspiring scene and should
cause everyone who sees it to feel
more deeply the responsibility of buy

every war cause.
One section of the display is de-
voted to the photographs and a roll
