Il
B. o. Williams, yardmaster Of this
city, made a business trip to Boone
Saturday and in the evening returned
home on the special "soldier train"
consisting Of eight coaches, bound for
Camp Douglas, Wyo.
When the train arrived at Carroll,
the soldiers were surprised to find
an immense crowd out to meet them.
Numerous large clothes baskets of
food were presented them and also
request to the officers for a 80 minute
stop-over for entertainment. The COM
manding officers and railroad offic-
ials granted the request and also
proved themselves most generous by
extending the session to one hour and
half. The soldiers were escorted to
a large dance hall in the city where
an orchestra was awaiting them. The
charming young ladies Of the city
delighted the lads by finding them
partners for every number and the
time passed all too quickly. The Of
ficers also joined in the pleasure ex-
tended. 1t was tired and perspiring
band of happy fellows that hurried
back to the train, declaring Carroll
was sure some town. Mr.. Williams
said he had not witnessed happier
event in many years.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY

01IAN4O1S NAIkAEo0 LA
The class play, "a College Town"
was given last evening by the class

the High school auditorium began to
fill and, az the hour Of eight approa-
ched, the hall was packed to the steps
at the door. s.
After few remarks by Prof. Gal
pin, there came from the stage beauti-
full strains Of q mixture Of songs. The
curtain arose, the stage was set and
first act Of the play began. For an
hour and half the large audience
was greeted with comical situations
which they seemed thoroughly to en-
joy from the amount Of applause that
greeted the actors. Every part was
we'll chosen and all Of the cast were
exceptionally well drilled.
The male quartet, between the
first and second acts, was treat and
their work was fully appreciated.
The play will be repeated again

cure a seat, it win pay you to be
there early, as standing room will

8 NEW OxTwIELDING PLANT

NEW DXIwELDIr5G Pl1A mt M n
The new Acetyline welding and cut-
ting plant was put into general use
at the shops today.
This plant consists Of generator
plant or building, 15x65x14 feet high
made Of building tile, located just
south Of the round house. The build.
ing is divided into three rooms, one
for carbide storage, one for oxygen.
storage and one for the ) acetyline,
gas generator.
The oxygen is shipped in, in car
load lots and the tanks are connected.
to a manifold that cares for 80 tanks
at one time. The oxygen as well as
the gas is carried from the building
around the entire plant by heavy
piping, all joints of which are well
ded, thus allowing a welder to hook
onto the line at most any part of
the shop or grounds and go ahead
with his Welding or cutting.
The gas is generated from carbide
and water, by the use of a clock mech
anism the carbide is dropped off into
tanks Of water and as soon as it
strikes the water gas is formed and
passes offinto receiver which raises
and lowers, depending on the number
of men using the gas. As soon as the
receiver is filled and raised to cer-
tain level, the clock stops and no
more carbide is used until the re-
ceiver is down.
This plant cost close to $4,000
and will effect a very great saving
over the old system Of using portable
outfits, now, instead Of an employee
having to wheel portable outfit
from various places around the plant,
he will simply carry his hose and
torches.
It is very interesting matter and
worthy Of anyones time and trouble
to see it operate.

condemned by state law, but sold to
Iowa buyers, and resold to farmers

War Risk Insurance

Director Jones, of the War Risk
Insurance Bureau, has recommend
ed to Congress an amendment of
the soldiers insurance scheme
whereby the beneficiary class of
converted policies may include in
addition to those already named in
the law, uncles, aunts, nephews,
nieces and all persons who have
stood in loco PARENTS to a member
of the military forces, and also that
in case of the death of the bene-
ficiary before full payment of the
policy has been accomplished, pay
ment may be made to the estate of
deceased beneficiary He recon-
mends also that instead of the pres
ent method of paying policies in
monthly instalments covering the
period of twenty years, that the in
sured be allowed the choice of hav-
ing his policy paid to his beneficiary
in lump sum, in monthly install
ments covering period of three
years, or in the present fashion
stretching over twenty years.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
just made ruling that service men
who fail to make payment of prem
iums after their separation from
military or naval organizations will
have eighteen months in which to
reinstate their policy.

SIMS FOR ADMIRAL

FTOMPROMISE when a principle
Y Is at stake is productive of in
justice always. Thus it is that
Rear Admiral Sims suffers through
the inability of the Senate to agree
upon proper honors for Rear Ad-
miral Mayo and Rear Admiral Ben
son. Mayo and Benson are distin-
guished seamen, but it was, Sims
upon whom the burden of greatest
responsibility rested during the war,
and he acquitted himself in a man.
ner that won for him the apprecia-
tion and the admiration of the Bri-
tish admiralty. He should have been
made an admiral of the United
States Navy, the highest rank of the
service, regardless of what rank may
have been bestowed upon others.
Compromising in the award of justly
earned merit marks is like giving a
skilled workman less pay than he
has earned in order to please two
other less skillful men who might
be offended because of the difference
in the size of the pay envelopes.

Wed German Girls
[From the London Times.1


A Leeds soldier who has recently
returned from the Rhine has made
a remarkable statement on the way
in which British soldiers there have
been fraternizing. with German girls.
Lee says he went to Cologne Cath
edral, and there saw twenty-three
British soldiers being married to
German women. The cathedral was
full of people, and q German to
whom he expressed surprise told
him it was quite a common thing to
see British soldiers marrying Ger
man girls.
The soldier went on to say: zone
man who came home with me told
the colonel that he would forfeit his
gratuity and all his pay if they would
allow him to remain in Cologne and
marry a German girl. The colonel
said he could not do that, but ex-
planned that when he had been de-
modified at home he could get a
passport, and return to Rhineland.
That man is returning to Germany
next Friday. When told him what
thought about it he remarked that
he had taken a fancy to a girl with
plenty of money, and as he had no
ties in England he might as well
marry her. Any night in Cologne
you can see our men with their arms
around German girls. and young Of
1cers seem as keen as the men. You
can see dozens of them at the
dances"

NO ROYAL ROAD

TXTE MUST not expect too much
! wv from the labor conference
in Washington. There is no
soyal road to the. solution of the
Eifi1cu1ties that continually arise be-
tween labor and capital; between
employers and employees. There are
30 many phases of the problem, so
nany elements to harmonic that
t-isA1mpossible to lay down any gen.
eral rule of treatment.

imam thinks one way, and the newly
errfved foreigner another. The rule
pfyeason may apply to one, but not
20 no Other. as q general thing.
hen there is the matter of the
aoesd or openshop. That cannot be
E6xzked It must be one thing
pr the other. so that there can be
no settlement by conciliation boards
Nheni men have set their heads on
closed shop while the employers
pre- determined to have their places
bpen to all comers.
Tho best that can come out of the
Conference is a better understanding
on both sides, which may operate to
avoid trouble and to teach both en-
ployer and employe that selfishness
does not pay, and that the public is
getting tired of the whole unending
dispute.

OUT WITH IT

IN THE Mississippi Valley an as
sociation of farmers has been
organized with a great member
ship for the definite purpose of
smashing Bolshevism and the Soviet
idea in this country. The head of
the organization declared in a speech
at Chicago:
We are going to get the people
back to the Constitution of the
United States as interpreted in
the light of the Ten Command
ments. We are going to get away
from the individualist quacks and
political self-seekers and return
to government by law instead of
government by force in mass
form.
We are going to stand by the
Constitution and see to 1T that 1t
is maintained by each man and
every man. no matter who he is.
We are going to see to 1t that the
Soviet and what 1t stands for
is smashed so flat you can't pick
it UP with a scoop shovel.
Not only will the farmers OF the
Mississippi Valley endorse this
policy, but all decent citizens, farm.

ROOSEVELT A GOOD SLEUTH

TTAMLIN GARLAND, in Every
II body's, for October gives an in
teresting description of a night
trip he took accompanied by Jacob
Riis and Theodore Roosevelt, who was
then a New York police commits
sioner, through the lower East Side.
When they met at the rendezvous,
ready to start on the nights prowl,
Roosevelt was wearing a plain dark
suit, with a soft hat pulled low over
his face.
In writing of the incident Gar
land says: GAS we walked, Roose-
welt talked of the police force and
of what he was trying to make of it.
He spoke in high praise of Waring,
who, as street commissioner, had
made Manhattan a cleaner city than
it had ever been before. Warnings
White Wings as the people called
the street cleaners, were every
where during the day, and the pave
ment fairly shone with their brushes.

Trench of the Rifles
[From the New York Tribune ]

[From the New York Tribune.1
Have you heard of the famous, the
historic Tranchee des Fusils-the
Trench of the Rifles?
/ 1t is at Douaumont, France, and 1t
lies to-day behind humble wooden
cross. The cross has been placed OH
a little plateau which once over
looked the village of Douaumont, but
which now sees below it only a
shapeless mass of splintered rock, of
barbed wire writhing as If in tor
ment, of nameless litter, through
which poppies and bramble are
thrusting upward.
The cross looks over ground that
was, from February to June, 1916,
the bloodiest battlefield of the war.
1t has been placed on the little pla-
teau by the men of the 18th Regi-
ment of the line, because close by
their comrades are still mounting
guard-there in the Tranchee des
Fusils.
At the high noon of that awful
struggle when the earth shook to the
cannonade and the very sky was OBJ
scured, when the air was all levin
and tempest and men moved in a
hellish horror of noise, endlessly
mounting in monstrouS crescendo,
oSCIloh vi thC Io Ill llleiL SllSo dP "
relieve guard.
The men moved in Indian file
along narrow communication
trench, bayonets fixed and rifles car
ried at the shoulder" AS they adj
vanced out of that horror of sound
was borne still more maddenine
gust of noise, and the earth shud-
dered under a hail of great projec-
tiles, cracked open and closed again
swallowing all.
Yet not quite all. Thrusting above
the ground, aligned as on that last
march down the narrow way that
led to death, are the bayonets of tho
section. They emerge above the
troubled earth by less than sis
inches, straightly held. save that one
here and there inclines ever sc
slightly, as though it's bearer had
moved convulsively before the
packed earth of that upheaval helt
him to immobility.
1t is for these men, still standing
there, that their comrades of the
137th have erected the cross. Tht
other day Cardinal Dubois, Arch
bishop of Rouen and former bishoI
of Verdun, blessed 1t, in the pres
ence of General Valentin, com
Imander of the forts and the heights
of the Meuse; of Monsieur Robin
mayor of Verdun, and of a delega
ton of the regiment.
