HALF MILLION LOSS BY QUAkES.
Nine Successive Shocks Shake Santa
Ana Mountains.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 23.-Nine
earthquake shocks, severe in intensity,
which began Sunday at 1892 p, m. and
extended over thirty hours, appeared
Monday night to have completed their
work of destruction, causing property
damage roughly estimated at $500, 900.
Thirty hours of anxious waiting
brought no further news OF damage
in all of southern California, which
suffered most, or western Arizona and
Utah, slightly affected, other than a
previously reported. Helmet and San
Jacinto, twin towns of the broad val
ley between the San JacintO and Santa
Ana ranges were half wrecked in their
business sections and had their 400
odd homes jolted and Jared.
Plato glass valued at thousands of
dollars here, railroad water tanks at
several points, building front at Ban
ming and elsewhere. irrigation reser-
voirs and canals and countless chin
neys suffered from the shock.
August Carlson, who came here i'll
from Park City, Utah, and Frank e.
Darnell, killed by a fall from the Santa
Monica municipal pier, were the only
deaths reported.

Farewell Message to Gen. Pershing az
Secretary Left Europe, Praises
Soldiers Highly.

With the American Army in France,
April 20.-General Pershing made
public the following letter, dated
France, April :, sent by Secretary OF
War Baker to the officers and men
of the American e%Xpeditionary forces;
AFTER a thorough inspection of the
American eXpeditionary forces, | am
returning to the United States with
fresh enthusiasm TO speed up the
transportation of the remainder of
the great army of which you are the
vanguard.
what | have seen here gives com
Portable assurance thar plans for the
effectiveness of our fighting forces
and for the comfort and welfare of
our men have been broadly made and
vigorously executed. Our schools and
system of instruction are adding to
the general soldier training the spe-
cialized knowledge which developed
among our French and British asso-
GATES during the four years of heroic
Wv llith Nv ytN
from the beginning of the war.
Fortunately, the relations between
our soldiers and those OF the British
and French are uniformly cordial and
happy, and the welcome of the civil
population Of France has been met by
our soldiers with chivalrous apprecia-
ton in return.
We are building a great army to
vindicate a great cause, and the spirit
which you are showing. the courage,
the res%ourcefulness and the zeal for
the performance OF duty, both as sol
diers and as men, Is not only prom
ising of military success, but is
worthy Of the traditions of America
and of the allied armies with which
we are associated. Press on.

They were discovered when they ap.
peared at a store in Cawker City and
purchased a chicken and some white
bread for Sunday dinner. They re.
fused to answer questions regarding
themselves, but their identity was dis
closed through photographs that had
been sent broadcast throughout the
West. The lads appeared to be in ex.
cellent health.
Immediately after the report was
made by the Cawker City storekeeper
to Sheriff Hugh LOrimer of Topeka,
the fathers of the two boys, w. r.
Robinson and Louis Luthey, left for
Solomon valley, where they attempted
to persuade the young men to return to
their homes.
the adventures of Daniel Boone and
other famous trappers. Two weeks
before their departure from home they
had purchased trapping outfits and
books OF trapping. When they disap-
peared from home they carried small
travelling bags and a minimum amount
Of clothing. They dropped out of sight
completely. Every recruiting station
for the army or navy in the United
States was informed as to the identity
Of the lads, but this %precaution brought
no results.
Whether it was patriotism in ,ob.
serving meatless days, poor hunting, or
hunger for the food Of civilization that
caused the journey to Cawker City Is
not known. 1t is sufficient that the
trip disclosed the whereabouts Of the
young men and gave their parents an
opportunity to find them.

OF EVERY man"
BAKER PRAISES ARMY IN FIRST
SPEECH SINCE RETURN.
Secretary Describes Conditions and
Morale Of Troops in Liberty Loan
Address at Washington.

Washington.-"We will do IL part;
you do yours" is the message from the
American army in France to the Amer
lean people that Secretary Baker de-
livered here at a Liberty loan rally in
his first public address since his re-
turn from Europe.
we are fighting an adversary" Mr..
Baker declared, who has elected to
make force the center of his political
philosophy and belief-pure, naked
force. 1t is not the doctrine upon
which a permanent and beautiful civ
ilization can be built; but we accept
that challenge as it has been made.
There is no answer except cold, re-
lentless, adequate force"
A tremendous crowd that packed
the great Y. NJ. c. A. building to its
capacity roared with applause as the
wal secretary reiterated the purpose
OF America and the allies.
When force is divorced from moral
ity," he continued, there is some
thing in morality that e%ngenders the
force to overcome it.
There is no doubt as to the out
come.
The end of this wal will not come
when the line 10 broken. This war
canno end until a peoples heart is
broken, and those who have looked
into the faces of the people of Eng
land, of France or Of Italy, or the
faces of those refugees leaving terri
tory to be occupied, know that mere
force can never break hat heart"
The aid of France and England and
Italy had been generous, he said. All
allied and American men and re-
sources had been pooled until they
were merged in one great identity. All
the nations had lost their sense OF
distinction between what is theirs
and what is ours The COMMON pur-
pose of all to beat back and crush
German force, he said, had welded all
into one.
Going from the ports where Ameri-
a troops land to the front line
trenches, Mr.. Baker said, he had seen
American soldiers by the tens of thou.
sands end under every condition.
And | found them big and strong
and brave and filled with fine determi-
In all that time / saw not one
of whom | was not proud that he was

London, April "a. - The British
gained ground east of Robecq, accord
ing TO Field Marshal Haig's report,
and improved their position around
Meteren. Numerous prisoners we're

Towns "Shiver" as New Shock Occurs

San Jacinto, Cal. April 24.-Three
more earthquake shocks during Mon
day night and early Tuesday made
San Jacinto and Hemet "shiver," but
added nothing to the destruction of the
Sunday tremors which half wrecked
the business district here and severely
damaged Hemet. Even the lettering
walls of half-collapsed buildings
seemed to have gained a sense of eaui-
nbrium during the successive earth
BOOKINGS and twistings of Sunday and
Monday and retained their balance.

Silver Climbs TO ooiA Cents.

New York.-The governments plan
to melt several hundred millions Of sill

price fixed by the Treasury Depart
ment, selling April 90 at 99A cents.
