Killing In Court.
Public interest IN the trial was
sharply focused by dramatic in
cidcnt in the courtroom yesterday
when Ram Singh a Hindu defend
ant, shot and killed Ram Chandra,
a co-deiendant. Ram Singh was in
turn killed by a bullet from the re-
yolycr of United States Marshal
James B. Holohan, who fired over
the heads Of the panic stricken
crowd that was filing from the
courtroom just prior to the noon
recess.
Ram Chandra was editor Of the
Hindu publication "Ghadra," ("Rey-
olution'D.
The shooting was the result of
feud OF rival factions of the Hindu
defendants, federal authorities said,
and the dislike that existed between
Ram Chandra and Ram Singh had
been heightened by a controversy
over a parcel of land in Canada
owned by Singh.

London, April 24.-Admiral Lord
Rcresford, in an interview on the
raid on German submarine bases,
while eulogizing the Zeebrugge
achievement as splendid thing and
quite worth attempting, warns
against disappointment il the results
do not reach the most sanguine ex-
pectations. He says that the block
ing OF a harbor is a most difficult
undertaking, and it never can be
certain that the obstacles have been
placed just right. Moreover, Lord
Bcrcsiord says there always is the
possibility OF dredging canal
around the obstacles or finding a
passage between them.

ENGAGEMENT At
SEICHEPREY Of
UNUSUAL VALOR
EVENT HOLDS PROUD PLACE
IN STORY OF AMERI-
CANS IN WAR.
SOME FACTS ARE RELATED
Two Instances Of Heroism Show the
Deafness Bravery Under Terrific
Shell Fire-Two Salvation Army
Lassies Prove Heroines.

With the American Army in
France, April 23.-(Tuesday).-Thc
shell-torn village of Seicheprey
around which centered the hardest
fighting in connection with the re-
cent heavy German attacks on the
American positions, appears to be
destined to hold a proud place in the
story of American participation in
the world war. As further details
ot the engagement become known
there are disclosed deeds which are
iully in accord with the finest Am
ercan traditions.
The correspondent is now permit
ted to tell of a few cases of indi-
yidual heroism, which will convey
an idea as to the mcttlc Of the men.
One of them, David Griggs, aged
10 Of East Hampton, Conn, passed
through the enemy barrage at least
seven times to carry ammunition to
his hard-pressed comrades. Twice
he was partly buried by earth up
turned by shells falling around him,
but he kept at his task. Griggs was
50 modest that he would not tell his
story, but insisted on speaking OF
the bravery of others. Finally, one
OF his comrades pointed him out
and said: That is the bravest man
IN the regiment"
Massachusetts, Hero.
Raymond A. Ferris of Medford,
Mass, acting as a courier, was blown
off the road twice by the conclusion
OF shells. Although stunned and
nearly crazed by the intensity of the
gunhre, when he reached the point
in the rear of the lines to which he
was sent for ammunition, he car
ried out his orders. Then he asked
for revolver, saying he wanted to
go ont and fight the Germans, but
he tainted from exhaustion. When
he regained consciousness his first
words were an inquiry whether his
message had been delivered.
Charles Sinkler, a Philadelphia
lawyer, who is now with the Red
Cross and was in the thick of the
lighting, told the correspondent to-
day of two Americans, who, armed
only with automatic pistols, charged
an enemy machine gun, killing eight
Germans and capturing the gun.
1t is also related that one Amer
ican Sharpshooter killed IS Germans.
Salvation Army Heroines.
In a village a short distance be-
hind the front lines, Gladys and
Irene Mcintyre, sisters, of Mount
Vernon, N. Y, Salvation Army rep
Tesentatives, during the height of
the engagement, handed out to the
soldiers coffee, chocolate, doughnuts
and much good cheer. They went
on with their work while the shells
were falling all around them, and
would not leave until at last they
were ordered to do so. Now they
ne called daughters of the regi-
ment."
At another point near the front,
Rmiddle-aged motherly woman, also
Of the Salvation Army, is braving
the shells to dispense comfort to the
men.
Il had to come to France" she
said, -to find out what wonderful
boys we raise in America"

Cruiser Is Hit Hard.

One Of the l7-inch shells out Of
the hundreds OF various calibers
fired at the cruiser got we'll home in
her upper works. Her steering gear
was injured, and she signaled to
an escort ship to show her the way
out, but before help had arrived,
She had found her way out and
taken her place under her own
steam behind the lines OF protecting
cruisers.
One man who watched the op-
Grafton from an escorting ship said
to the correspondent:
'Nhcn we saw the damage she
had suffered, ii seemed scarcely pos
sible that She was able to keep afloat.
The men below must have worked
like lrojans, for She was throwing
flames ten teet high from her fun
nels and She was making the fast
est time She probably ever accom-
phshed. ~
The German destroyer which was
sunk was rammed amidsnips and
torpedoed Those who returned to
the Kentish port also say that
boarders rushed on the German de
stroycrs anchored in the harbor,
taking them completely by surprise,
Some OF the Germans hurried up
to the hatchways in their night
clothes, but before they could reach
the decks the British sailors knock
ed them on the heads with clubs and
rifles and sent them tumbling down
the hatchways.

bles, and according to the testimony
OF one of the observers, were sunk
within q minutes.
One of the destroyers or sub
marines exploded a charge at the
gates of the Bruges canal and they
are believed to have been destroyed.
MEANWHILE four destroyers entered
the harbor and cruised around, max
ing observations, but were unable
to take part in the battle.
When the attacking ship and its
landing party had completed their
work, the sailors and marines were
taken aboard again despite the dam
aged condition of the cruiser, which
then began to make its way out OF

AMONG WORST OF BAD HABITS
Procrastination, When One Has Work
That Must Be Done, Bound to
Result in Failure.

He was an excellent workman. Few
things were in his speciality which he
could not do better than his mates.
But he was not success. Others who
had worked at their calling much less
time passed him in the upward climb
of progress. HIS fault, his crime, lay
in one thlng--he had the tomorrow"
habit.
When he had three days in which to
do a piece of work, he sduandered the
first two in Idle speculation as TO the
amount Of time absolutely necessary to
complete his task. If he decided that
by hurrying, he could perform that
task in six hours, he temporlzed until
the beginning of the six-hour period.
He was eternally loafing and hurrying,
eternally wasting time and making
time do double service. His work be-
came more and more slovenly. Other
workmen surpassed him. Before long
he was superannuated.
If you find yourself figuring on the
amount of time you can loaf and still
get your work done, watch out. II YOU
do not, the tomorrow habit will get
you.-Milwaukee Journal.

MUST KNOW LAWS OF LIFE
II People Perfectly Understood Them
All Disease Would Be Banished
From the Earth.

The word sanitation is used in
many cases when hygiene would
be more applicable and more nearly
correct. A noted authority on mat
ters pertaining to health and disease
has said that if we but had a perfect
knowledge of the laws of life, and
could practically apply this knowl-
edge. disease would be impossible.
The word hygiene is derived from
Hygieia, who was the NEUROLOGICAL
goddess of health. According to
legend, Hygieia was tho daughter OF
Aesculapius, who appears in Homer
as the "blameless physician" and the
god Of the healing art.
DR.. Edmund Alexander Parks. one
OF the founders of modern hygiene,
has defined It is the art Of preserving
health. He says further. 1T aims at
rendering growth mere perfect, de-
cay less rapid, life more vigorous
and death more remote
1t is apparent that II we but had
this perfect knowledge Of the laws Of
life and could make tho best possible
use Of It. that we would all Ultimately
die OF senility and net Of disease
Although great adyancements are be-
ing made in this direction yet we can
scarcely expect that in this genera
alton we shall get very far on the
road TO the coveted goal-George II.

SAYS. BREAD LINE IS WRONG
citys FIoteam Should All Be Cared
For IN Institutions, Prominent
Psyehiatrist Says.

There should be no bread line in
New York. In normal times like these
work should be found for all those
capable OF performing it and willing
to work. The shirkers and Migrants
who, although able TO work. refuse to
do so, should be put in jail, and the
aged and inGrm and those physically
incapable Of working should be prop
erly cared for by the community.
1t is unthinkable that the bread line
should be looked upon as necessary
institution, running winter and sum
mer, year in and year out. A bread
line is an emergency measure to give
temporary relief to deserving men in
times Of great economic stress and
widespread financial disaster.
There is no question at all in my
mind that an appreciable percentage
of bread liners are incapable of doing
any work that we can get for them.
They belong in institutions, not on the
street. Some Of them are very old,
senile and decrepit. Others are men

ically, and who, before they could be
put to work with any profit, would
