GREAT DEMAND FOR CARS

The first warm days brought L horde
OF dealers clam orinE for cars to the
factory Of the Haynes Automobile Com
pany. Eokomo. Ind. transportation
conditions have been such all winter
mat only limited shipments could be
made. Hence the advance Of the deal
ers when roads became passabie.
Snow still covered the highways
when the vanguard appeared. The
first trips were hazardous in many
cases. for the roads were slippery and.
in some instances. formidably deep mud
was encountered

One distributor wired Haynes the day
after he reached his city with big
consignment. saying he was out of cars
again. and beseechinG a freight ship

The demand for cars this spring is
exceeding even the expectations of the
manufacturers. The inevitable short

FnlDIne NO BocnES,
YANkS CHASE RABBIT
Forget All About the War When
Bunny Jumps Up Under
Their Feet.

French and American batteries
pounded the German lines for five
hours preceding the attack against the
st. Mihiel salient from the west.
When the doughboys went over the
top in Les Eparges sector there was
not an answering shot from the Ger
man trenches opposite. The gunflre
had so shattered the nerves of those
who survived the bombardment they
could not emerge from their deep dug
outs.
Two American soldiers dashed
across "No Mans land" In the lead,
raced through to the enemy's barbed
wire entanglements, riven and pulver-
lied by the artillery. and leaped over
the parapet into the German trench.
Just then two white rabbits ducked
out from q corner and ran round the
corner Of the traverse. It was all so
quiet, with nary a live German In
sight, not the suspicion Of machine
gun nor an answering shot from the
German batteries In the rear that the
Yanks forgot all about war, the attack,
the Boches and everything else. They
just did what any average fellows
would do, started chasing the rabbits
They beat 1t down the first line
trench, stumbling over the debris
where the American shells had caved
In the parapet every few yards and
finally rounded up the pair Of rabbits,
nice and fat and tender.
When their platoon commander
burst into the trench, having been de-
layed little by a patch Of barbed
wire still standing, he found the two
men arguing as to whether they should
,at the rabbits or keep them as pets.

CRUELTIES OF BULGARS
Only Quarter Of Population In Sores
After Two Years' OCCUPATION.

Only Quarter Of Population In Sores
After Two Years Occupation.
When Sores, in Greek Macedonia,
was occupied by the Bulgarians in De-
cember, 1915, the inhabitants num-
bered $4,000. Since that time 5000 Of
these have died. 1000 have been de-
ported, and 1000 men and boys have
been put to work on the construction
Of roads. Today the population is be-
tween 5000 and 5000.
Bulgarian documents which have
been found In the Macedonian towns
show that large numbers of deaths
were due to the Indifference of the
Bulgarian authorities to the condition
of the civilian population. Wholesale
deportations were made and cruelties
inflicted which were not justified by
the necessities Of war. Not only were
the military authorities involved in
this work, but the civil officers were
tyrannous toward the people.
Churches were looted and private
houses were stripped Of their furni-
ture, which was placed in officers
quarters. The interment Of bodies in
the cemeteries were made in a hap
hazard way. und no inscriptions were
placed over the graves. so that surviv-
Ing relatives do not know the resting
places Of their loved ones.

BRIDGEPORT men IMPRESSED
Sentiment Apparently Fayors
Obedience to Presidents Order
By the Associated Press

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sept. 14.-Presdent
Wilson's letter to the strikers of Bridge
port munition factories, ordering them
to return to work, was received today
and the executive committee of the
hnion met Immediately. The strikers
sentiment seemed to be entirely in favor
of obeying the Presidents order.
Then came word that the manufac-
turers were willing to renstate the
strikers at the previous wages under
the war labor boards decision and pay
extra back wage increases. This offer
also appeared to have a favorable ef-
feet.
A mass-meeting of the strikers is
set for Monday afternoon and formal
action is expected.
When the strike committee adjourned
statement was given out dealing with
portion of the Presidents letter which
referred to the strikers as 1.-THE best
paid Of the whole body of workers af-
fected."
The committee said the best paid
machinists at fifty cents an hour make
only $24 week while machine opera
tors at forty-two cents an hour and
piece work make from $50 to s55. The
committees contention was that ma
chinists were entitled to as much as
workers who are put on machines after
few weeks practice.

PERSHING HONORS
TWO FROM HERE
Distinguished Servi c e
Crosses Awarded to Phila.
delphia Heroes
ONE DIED in RESCUE
Second Recipient, Supposed
Killed in Action, Located
in German Prison

Two soldiers of this city, one Of whom
was killed in action, have been awarded
distinguished service crosses by General
Pershing.
Charles J. Kane, infantryman. 2oS
South Sixtieth street, was killed while
performing the act of gallantry for
which the posthumous, award has been
made by the American commander.
Private Roy Fl. Simpson, 11s East
Duval street. Germantown, was also re-
ported killed and his award was a sup
posed posthumous one, hut subsequent
reports have resulted in his being locat-
ed in German prison camp.
Private kane's citation declares he
sacrificed his life to save his captain.
Attempting to bring his captain, who
was lying wounded and exposed to fire,
to shelter, near Naux, France, July l.
he was himself killed. thereby sacrificing
his life in an effort to rescue his COM
mnading officer" the citation reads.
Private Simpson was member of the
marine CORPS a son of Edward A. Simp-
son. His citation follows:
"In the attack on the. Bois de Belleau,
France, June II, 1918. he carried mes
sage from battalion headquarters di-
rectly across the face of enemy fire.
Shot through the chest. he continued
running. calling out: I must de-
liver this message struggling forward
for fifty feet or more in his heroic effort
to carry out his mission before falling
dead"
The War Department today corrected
its report of the death of Private Simp-
son. stating he is now reported a pris-
oner in Germany. A letter. dated July
1, just received by Simpsons parents
substantiates the War Departments an
nouncement. The writer says he is a
prisoner.
Private Simpson enlisted in the
marines in April 1917. and was among
the first of that organization to land in
France.
