WONDER WHAT CERvERA THOUGHT.


l wonder what Cervera thought
When, TO the wide and silent sea,
That dull November morning brought
The broken feet OF Germany
Those dumb gray hulks that never knew
The glory of hope forlorn,
Whose long dishonored banners flew
Only to feel their fOemen's scorn.
l wonder what Cervera thought
While unbelieving waters bore
Those craven ships that never fought
To anchor by hostile shore
Those great tall ships, alive with men
Who shamed that knighthoOd of the wave
Whose trust they shall not know again
Nor the high councils OF the brave.

James Monroe. the alleged fake slayer of
Miss Josephine Mcdonald OF Chicago, is, if
nothing else, a mighty welcome character to
the newspapers. By his antics and confessions
he has supplied a lot OF copy OF most fan
tastiC type and has been able to kick in with
a new and entirely different story for each
edition of morning and evening papers. 1t
takes a live wire with a lot OF imagination to
do it. He seems to have arranged all OF the
details of stories and various escapades with
the idea of putting the desired punch IN 1t for
the reporters and readers.
When it came to choosing aliases Monroe,
it seems, was OF a most afectiOnate disposition
TWO of those he is known to have used are
James Darling and MIR. Love.

ported intending to remain in France.

PRETTY SCANDAL
BEING PR0BED
Put on Your Gas Mask

Press dispatches carry the infor-
nation that pretty scandal is devel-
oping around the contested election
Of some Of the Butte delegation.
The Republican central committee
having found that an honest man can
not apparently be discovered within
their own fold, have engaged the ser
vices of Wellington Rankin who will
present the case for the Republicans
and it is whispered that the revela-
tions will even outdo anything of the
kind that has ever been ventilated in
this corruption ridden state.
It seems that there is great deal
Of evidence to show that those cham
pion election manipulators who are
known to exist in Butte, and whose ac-
tivities have in the past nauseated
even the heelers, have outdone them
selves. Wholesale charges Of fraud
and deliberate stealing Of ballots are
being made and with good reason ap-
parently.
The Nonpartisans and Labor men Of
the state who have suffered for years
under this form Of brigandage, Of
course, are not surprised for it has
been SO open and fragrant in the past
that they are pretty well used to it,
but in this case it is not Socialist
administration Of Butte from whom
the election has been stolen, but from
! real honest-to-goodness, dyed-in-the-
wool Republicans, hence the noise.
Those in the know assert that Doc
Lanstrum is properly outraged by the
manner in which oodles of votes were
stolen from Miss Rankin and feels
that something ought to be done
about it. The doctor of course, is
not loosing any sleep about the Lady
from Montana but is pretty sore him
self and is out with his hatchet fol-
the bunch who were so clumsy as to
pull the deal and not get away with
1T.
Progressives all over the state how
ever, feel a little encouraged by the
development and are expecting a rev.
elation which will forever stop the
mouths Of the mud-slinging tribe who
have in the past howled about the 9TH
er fellow in order to divert attention
from their own rank and disgusting
activities. Let the show go on.

First Section Moves.
The first section of the division
expects to be on the way to France
and a seaport by April 81, which
means that the entire division will
be clear of this area by May l. We
will sail from Brest and the system
now in use does not detain troops
very long at a port so in a short
time the people of the tri-cities
will see their boys
Lieutenant William J. Anderson
of Davenport, formerly first ser
geant of Battery F, has been trans
ferred from this command to army
headquarters of the Third army at
Coblenz, throuh his request to re-
main in the service We are going
to miss the lieutenant because he
was well liked and a favorite with
every member of the battery.
Privates Frank Pearce, Orc Budd
and Corporal Dewey CLANCY were
sent to the hospital since the last
letter. They ali had severe colds and
were sent to the hospital for the
sake of caution. We expect them
back before we move. All other
members are o. X.
One more letter from the A. E. F.,

tell you all about it personally.

A few of the boys have relatives
in Belgium and they were given
permission to visit them for ia
days and all, with one exception,
found their former homes in ruins
and came back telling stories in re-
gard to the treatment received by
relatives at the hands of the Ger
mans, in some cases so severe, that
they, the relatives, died as a re-
suit.
On April II the Sixth corps
motor show was held in Luxembourg
city. 1t was a success all the way
through. The Thirty-third diyiG-
ion took first place with 81 points,
just beating the Fifth with 81
points. The One Hundred Twenty
third field artillery made over half
the points made by the division
with 81 points to it's credit. Bat
terry F took first prize in the bat
talon and the battalion took the
first in the regiment. The regiment
took the first in the division and
the division took the show, so we
are very much satisfied all the way
around.
With the coming of spring gar
dens are being prepared by the ma
tives and everything is getting
green. The people go about their
work as if there had never been 4
war. The boys spent some OF their
spare time in helping the people
with their gardens. One reason for
this is that the women do all the
farm work and the crude manner in
which they do it, makes very hard
work even for a man. But the
women don't seem to mind it
great deal. At least they do not
show it physically. Anyway the

Jacques LeBaudy
Shot to Death BY
Wife in Her Home

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.--James Lee
baudS. that wealthy, eccentric char
acter know throughout TIL world as
''the Emperor of the Sahara" was
shot and killed at $3.50 o'clock last
evening by his wife, Nine. Marie Au-
gustine Lebaudy, in her home, "the
House Of Fifty Rooms,o near West
bury, L. /.
The Lebaudy place adioins the es-
tate of Jack De Saulles, who in Au-
gust, 1917, was shot and killed by
his wife, Blanquita d'Erazuriz De
Saulles.
Had Been Away for Months.
The shooting of Lebaudy immedi-
ately followed his entrance into the
house, from which he had been absent
for several months. Where he had
been was not learned, but he arrived
at Westbury station late in the aft
ernoon and, wearing a heavy fur coat
and carrying a handbag, walked from
the railroad to the house where his
wife and their daughter, Jacqueline,
Is, were living.
Exactly what followed the police
were unable to learn in complete de-
tail. Nine. Lebaudy after the shoot
ing was in a state of complete col
lapse and the girl was in almost as
bad a way. But from what both
were able to tell the authorities it
seemed that Lebaudy as soon as he
entered the house began abusing his
wife.
Apparently she had some warning
as to his impending arrival and had
prepared herself with a revolver, for
after a few words had passed be-
tween them she fred. The bullet
struch him in the head and he died
at once.
