swim across the Atlantic, and his sally was re-
ceived with a chorus of approval. But the army
and the navy did all they hoped to do and then
more on the top of it. They got our army across
and into the trenches, and over the trenches and
through the broken German lines, leaving the
cheap wits and cynical critics gasping and let us
hope little ashamed Of themselves
But in bringing the boys home the war and
navy departments have outdone their former
achievements If they succeed in bringing all
the boys home by the middle of next September
they will have transported 100000 men across
the Atlantic in just ten months. Some achieve
ment that is let us tell you. 1t means a wonder
full efficiency of which the army and navy de-
partments may we'll be proud and of which our
citizenship ought to be appreciative.
So far we have not heard any sneers from the
political kickers over this prediction that the last
of our soldiers will be out Of Europe by Septem-
Der, but then congress is not in session and the
kickers cannot get their remarks printed in the
Congressional Record and circulated at govern
ment expense. Perhaps they are also warned
by their former experience and the realization
that they made asses of themselves by their
dismal predictions which experience proved to
be without any foundation in fact.
Practically every soldier abroad is in big
hurry to get home we are told and surely their
families and friends are also in hurry to get
them back again, but when the government
transports 100000 Of them from France to the
United States in single month the most I'M
reasonable man must feel like applauding the
administration of the war department that has
made such achievement possible. The naval and
war department. is functioning some these days
all right, and Daniels and Baker are demon
strating anew that they are the right men in
the right place.

Copan Is city Of mystery The peo-
PIE who once througei its streets and
bowed at its affairs are long since gone,
leaving no record Of their existence save
the hoary stones of their city. These
stones, built into pyramids. walls and
monuments bear their story carved in
the MAYA characters. But no descend
ants have survived to interpret the
stories, and no scholar las arisen wise
enough to read the pierure- writing Of
Cnpan.
Ruins of this oldest city Of the MAYA
Indians may still be seen by those suffi-
GENTLY persistent and enthusiastic to
seek them out. A little Indian village
in western Honduras, and the river On
which it lies, keep the name Of Copan
alive today. To visit the ruins Of the
great Gopan You must seek out this vii
lage by train and then go a long journey
on horseback. Just beyond the village
lies the old Maya metropolis.
The only inhabitants OF Copan today
are queer figures of the Maya gods, that
peer out Of unexpected hiding places like
the creatures of bad dream. Wonder
fully carved many of them are. grotesque
in attitude and expression. according to
the artists conception of the beings of
the other world
When Copan flourished. how it fell,

linen there is another type of thief that
specializes in the 'heavies," and uses
wagons or trucks to cart away the loot.
Thieves of this kind will crack open a
car loaded with high priced hardware
and make away with goods valued at
thousands of dollars. Automobile at
cessories are also favorite loot. Chief
Flynn relates a case in the west in
which thieves broke into Il car and made
off with an entire carload of the best
tires. The thieves were doing flour
ishing business. selling the tires as ''see-
onds' until the police interferred. In
the past few years there has been an
astonishing number Of tire-claim ad-
justments made with shippers. Many
OF these robberies were traced and the
goods recovered but the actual loss to
the roads is enormous.
Very often thieves will tear open
cases of expensive laces or silks, and
scatter the goods all over the car in an
effort to find cigarettes or whiskey
cases. They pass up the high grade dry
goods because Of the difficulty and dam
ger attending the disposal of such plum
der They have less trouble getting rid
of tobacco and liquor than of laces and
millinery.
In the early days OF the government
operation Of the roads. a gang of silk
thieves was broken up IN the east. It
is estimated that silk valued at million
dollars had been carried away by this
group before the police got the upper
hand
a distressing fact about freight
thieving,' said Chief Flynn, "is the fact
that 81 per cent of it is perpetrated by
railroad employees. Sometimes these
eases are very hard to solve. Recently
we unrarelled difficult case in New
York, in which two pullman conductors
We're collecting railroad tickets from
passengers and keeping them. They
would mail the tickets to fences in
Providence. r. l., who sold them at
greatly reduced prices. The group
cleaned up about $4,000 before we got
wise to them"
Figures gotten together BY Chief
Flynn showing the enormity and extent
of thieving from railroads are amazing.
From April /. 1918, to April /. 1919.
there were ,15.S2S arrests made for
freight robberies. Nearly 5000 of those
arrested were railroad employees. More
than 10000 were convicted during the
year, the total penitentiary sentences
amounting to 3.2T1 years. Committed
TO jail and reformatories were 2,36f.
while 22.i:3}33 : cases were dismissed. sus-
pended or paroled Property stolen by
these offenders was valued at 1920
