EMMETT MARSHAL IS
FIRED ON IN DARK
ProWler in Railroad Yards
Sends Bullet Whistling by
Officers Ears, Then Makes
His Escape.

Emmett, May IA. = c. A. Leggett
night marshal here, came within an
ace Of being shot in the, head Sunday
night at HIS while he was patrol
ling the railroad yards, some unknown
person having fired at him point blank
while crouching between two freight
cars only a few feet away Mr.. Leg
gett saw the gun flash almost in his
face and heard the bullet hiss by. He
said he could almost feel the bullet
| it was so close.
Mr.. Leggett said the instant the gun
flashed he dropped flat to the ground.
| His father, an old frontiersman, fire.
quently told him to drop to the ground
should any one ever fire at him. This
act probably saved the marshars life,
for the instant he dropped the fell
low who did the shooting ran away
with full speed. The marshal fol-
lowed for two blocks but lost the fell
lows trail in the darkness.
Complaint had been made that some
person or persons were breaking into
box cars in the yards and stealing
groceries, etc. Marshal Leggett again
patrolled the railroad yards last night
and proposes to do SO nightly. He
said the narrow escape from bullet
Sunday night did not cause him even
the slightest nervousness, much less
any fear. He expressed the opinion
that it is possible the fellow who shot
at him is the convict who escaped
from the state penitentiary last Sum
day.

HUNGRY CHILDREN IN

LOCAL AND DISTRICT COMMIT
TEES CARRYING OUT
DETAILS

PRAGUE, July 21.-The Ameri-
can scheme of child relief in CZecho-
Slavakia is now in full swing. Large
quantities of milk, cocoa and other
goods are in the hands OF the CEN
trail committee and the feeding OF
the children has been completely or
ganized in the different districts.
Not every child in Czecho-Slovakia
is being fed. but only those who are
actually hungry and needy. In most
districts, about one child in three is
now receiving the American ration. .
With the cooperation of various
national, religious and social or
CARNATIONS, encouraged by the
Czecho-Slovak government, local and
district committees have been formed
to carry on the details of the child
feeding scheme. Food is at hand in
many places only awaiting the or
g%anization of the local committee.
Additional American personnel has
recently arrived from Paris, and as
soon as word is received that a
community is ready for organization,
representatives are being sent out to
Iut the relief into operation.

the navy had large forces of ships

PERISH IN
POVERTY
RETURNING 10 FARMS IN THE
MOUNTAINS TO DIE IN
RUINS

KAVADAR, Macedonia, July IS.
Without food, without clothing,
without medical attention, with
hardly any growing crops promising
relief when the harvest comes, 49,
600 refugees of this district have
returned and are desperately cling
inS to the little mountain farms
which are their patrimony. Rather
than abandon them they will die in
the ruins and caves which today
only half shield them from the ele-
ments.
To this field the Balkan commits
sion of the American Red Cross has
sent Captain r. NJ. Blakely, U. S. A.
medical corps. of New Orleans, La,
with five nurses and several car
loads of supplies. Villages within a
radius of so kilometers are now
being served by the "Amerikansha."
Medicines are given at the dispens-
airy. which lever charges a dinar
for its services or for flour, cloth
ing and other supplies from the can
teen. What that means to a people
who have come back from exile,
after three years of deprivation of
the necessities of life, to find their
homes in ruins can best be appre-
ciated here on the spot.
The station here at Kavadar is
but one of hundreds of similar sta
tons in Serbia, Albania, Montene-
gro, Rumania, Herzegovina and
Greece which the Balkan commits
sion of the American Red Cross has
established.
The town hall is used for an in
Urinary, an empty house for a
food and clothing warehouse and an
old mill has been made into a bak-
cry. The dispensary is crowded
from morning to night. Some days
$50 patients are treated. The

radius of 80 miles. One patient vas
brought in on an ox-cart after an
unbroken journey of four days. Tu-

BUZEU, Rumania, July 22.-Here
in the midst of one of the worlds
richest oil fields, people have been
actually starving.
Before the war this part of Ru-
mania produced big fortunes in oil,
being one of the greatest sources of
European supply. Today its wells
are in ruins and the people are des-
titute. The invading armies requi-
sitioned everything that could be
pried loose and transported, paralyZ-
ing n of the wealthiest industries
in the Balkans.
Workers for the American Red
Cross, which is distributing relief
in the form of foods and medicines
throughout the country, have found
people eating bread made of leaves,
twigs and bark from trees. People
were b~artering the coats off their
backs for small portions of corn and
coarse bran. In one place the rellef
workers found a small local hospital
in which the patients slept on boards
with no mattress and little covering
At home they found five fatherless
children, the oldest only nine years
of age, cooking a meal of tree bark
and bran, while the mother was II
at work in the fields.
