THE REAL UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Child Of Streets, Picked Up by Kind
hearted Brothers, Never Knew
Who He Was.

Tragic though the story Is of a SOL
der whose identity was lost after his
life had gone out on the field Of battle
and whose cross in Flanders simply
says, unknown Soldier" his story is
not shot through with such pathetic
glory as is the story of a lad who
never knew who he was and who gave
his life for a country In which he had
never known a mothers love or q
fathers pride. Every mother who
does not know just where her son Is
buried. weeps over the grave of the
unknown soldier, thinking that per-
haps he is her son. Over the grave Of
the boy who has always been IN
known there are no mourneFs.
A tiny bundle Of humanity vas
picked up in a Baltimore street some
twenty years ago.; It wag a baby boy.
When after a thorough search. no one
was found who would claim him. he
was taken to be reared by two broth
ers. who gave him the name Of Ed
ward John Evangelist Smith. When
he was old enough, they sent him
to Mount Saint Mary's school to be
educated. In 1917, before the boys
education was finished. a Marine re-
cruiting officer visited Mount Saint
Mary's. His story of the country's
need for men caused Smith" as he
had come to be known, to enlist. He
went overseas and took part in every
engagement in which the Fifth regi-
ment of marines participated. On the
morning on which the armistice was
signed, one of the last German bullets
Nying claimed "Smithy" as its victim.
Wells Hawkes., "Smithy's" captain,
has started a fund to erect a monu-
ment to "Smithy"; a child Of the
street, an unknown lad In school, the

Chicago.-With increasing numbers
of state troops and emergency forces of
United States deputy marshals on
guard wherever outbreaks have been
threatened, the government has an
nounced that life and property will be
protected, the malls continued and in
terstate commerce not interrupted de
spite the strike of railway shopmen.
After a conference with President
Harding, Attorney General Daugherty
said that additional deputy marshals
had been authorized and that they
would be sent wherever strike dis
orders justified.
Aside from a few clashes, the can
collation. of some passenger trains on
the shorter runs, and the r%eopening of
shops in various sections Of the coun-
try, there have been few developments
which railway executives had expect
ed to furnish the turning point of the
strike because of the ultimatum Of
many roads that all strikers who did
not return to work would forfeit their
seniority rights.
Little disorder was reported as the
result of the efforts of the roads to
reopen their shops.
The Katy shops in Parsons, Kansas,
the scene of rioting earlier in the
strike, reopened under the protection
of 800 national guardsmen with $50
non-union men on duty.

BELIEF is THAT MERE OPENING
OF DISCUSSIONS LONG STEP
TOWARD AGREEMENT
ROADS WILLING TO RESPOND
Leave Door Open for Settlement
Through Railroad Labor Board.
Case Thrown Back Into
Lap of Arbiters

Chicago.-While fatty refusing to
meet the leaders of 100000 striking
shopmen to discuss peace proposals,
door for a settlement of the strike
through the United States Railroad
Labor board. Immediately after reach
ing an agreement with the heads of
the -Sig four" brotherhoods not to
require their members to do q Of the
york of striking shopmen, the execu-
tives began consideration of a peace
program submitted to them by Ben w.
Hooper, chairman of the labor board,
after a conference with B. NJ. Jewell,
head of the shipments organization.
Their answer, in the form of a letter
addressed to Mr.. Hooper, asserted that
the strike was called in defiance of
the board.
Also that any conference between
the executives and the strikers would
not be permissible or t~olerable," as it
would place the carriers In the position
of seeking to find means to subvert
the decision of the board.
"A prompt recall of the strike or
der" the letter added, however, "would
permit the resumption of former meth
DDS of conference and permit the con-
sideration of any matters which repre-
s%entatives of employees might desire to
submits"
The willingness of the roads, how
ever, to respond promptly to any sum-
mons by the labor board to any further
hearing that may be called in onnec
ton with this subject in event the
board should determine on hat coarse,
was expressed by the executives.
In railway circles the belief was ex-
pressed that the mere opening of ne
gotiations was a long step toward a
peaceful settlement and that the recent
moves had resulted in throwing the
case back into the lap of the labor
board in the exact position in which
it had rested when Mr.. Jewell had al
lowed a strike order to go into effect
on July l.

TO REDUCE BERLINS
next GOLD PAYMENT
Next InstaIIment 80 Million Marks
Germany May Aek Relief of Fur
ther Payments During Year

Paris.-The Preparations commission
has decided to relieve the German
crisis to the extent of reducing the
monthly installment of 50,000,000 gold
marks, on the schedule of payment,
to 100000 gold marks. Germany
had announced her willingness to pay
the whole amount but the commission
ruled that In view of the crisis the
smaller figure was all that would be
required.
Credit to the amount of JOG, 600
gold marks was given to Germany on
her PREPARATIONS account for deliveries
of d~yestuffs made during the last few
months to the Textile Alliance of
America for the allies. and also for
deliveries of coal which had been
made to Luxembourg at the request OF
the allied governments. These credits
were due Germany for some time and
the officials thought the time oppor-
tune to allow them in view of German
difficulties.
Members of the reparations commits.
sion spent all day discussing the Ger.
man crisis.
The commission was expecting to
receive a formal request from Germany
for a moratorium In some form. Indi-
cations were that the German note
would ask hat Germany may be re-
lieved of all remaining payments this
year.

Blames Pesslmism

Washington.-The fall of the Ger
stringent measures have been enacted
for the protection of the Republican
regime, the m department adj
vised in a cablegram from Commercial
Attache Herring at Berlin.
The political crisis resulting from
the assassination of Foreign Minister
R%athenau, Mr.. Herring reported, has
aggravated the period of currency de-
preston inaugurated by the failure Of
the foreign loan negotiations, and the
feeling now is general thai Germany
faces grave political complications,
with the fall in exchange which has
dropped to the lowest level In history.
Beriin.-The decline in the value of
the mark, apparently brought about by
the assassination OF Foreign Minister
Rathenau and the consequent loss Of
confidence In the stability of the state,
continues, despite the action Of the
government and the Reichbank In
throwing great sums of foreign money
on the market to stem the depreciation
Of German currency. Manufacturers
r declared to be buying foreign
money to purchase raw materials and
the public Is following suit In order to
unload marks.
The Frankfurter Zeitung declares
the collapse has been due not so much
to foreign countries selling marks, as
to Germans, who, sin wild pessimism,
fought to obtain foreign currency"
