a LII this made me sick, sick
A. physically as well as mentally.
1t also made Tom Osborne sick. He.
too, had lived in cell. q volun-
teer inmate at the old Auburn
prison. He had become X-33,3S3
to find out just how it felt. He
had wanted to go through with it
incognito, but had found it i'm
practicable to do so.
He had worked in the prison
shops, eaten the prison fare,
fought the prison nights and been
thrown into the prison dungeon
for punishment, just like any
other prisoner.
RidicuIed Idea
Yet there were those who had
written sarcastically about his
abnegation, his intense search for
truth. Superficialists ridiculed the
idea that he could learn anything
in that way. But, be it known,
no prisoner of honest mind has
ever ridiculed him. Prisoners
know he must have felt in
measure what they feel. Superb
cial writer's and critics don't
know. How can they know? 1t
IL always so easy and SNUG to
helittle the efforts of others.
One of the first things that o.
borne. did as warden of Sing Sing
was to arrange for meetings, de-
bates. mass singing and picture
shows in the prison chapel every
night. His motive was to- pro-
mote the physical and mental
health of his charges; humani-
tarianism came second; sentiment
tally wasn't even in the deck
It was the thrown out joker. But,
Of course, the sciolists. the stone
ayers, the cavemen Of modern
times, criticised. They said it
was pandering to thugs and cut
threats; the making of a play

prison is being. built at Sing Sing.
and the cells, L am told-while
still cells, and therefore inhuman
are vastly superior to the old
rat holes. During these ten years
at least 10000 human beings have
been permitted out of the rat
holes at night, for the innovation
introduced in December, 1914, Of
having the prisoners assemble in
the chapel and dining hall after
dark until or 10 o'clock has
been followed out, with more or
less regularity. by Osborne's sue
cessors.
To have been the pioneer in
just that one departure from the
old system justifies in full meas
ure and without reservation, Tom
Osborne's interest and work In
prisons ard for prisoners. 1t was
a distinct step in human progress
and toward an understanding Of
what Christianity really is.

days almost unbearable. I couldn't
shake off the feeling that l had

1900 human beings in those cells.

Prof. Scott taught in Wytheville
about forty years, at China Branch

Prof. Scott came to Wytheville in 1878
a young man, nineteen years old, and
lived in the community until his death.
He was loved by his numerous stu
dents and host of others with whom
ne came in contact. He left a life
of right action behind him and 1t
will spring up as monument in the
lives of others. The eulogy by Rev.
c. B. Holloway was eloquent, thought
full, timely and forcibly delivered.
Prof. j. Wesley Holley, who was
one of Prof. SCOTS students and now
principal of school over which Prof,
Scott taught so long, marched his chill
dren, accompanied by the other teach
ers, in body to the church. Prof.

most powerful noblemen in Morocco,
being known as a descendant of Mo-
manned, visited the American fiiers.
She was accompanied by her suite of
Moroccan noblemen.
To the northeast of Quezzan, the
French halted long enough to clean
out the villages of Hammar and Har-
rara, just to the south of Bouganous,
which heretofore had been sources of
annoyance to supply conveys moving
northward. Both positions were car
ried with small losses.
A surprise attack drove the dissi-
dent tribesmen from Oued Mellah,
an important waypoint in the march
toward Taberrant.
Considerable anxiety is felt over the
fate of two French planes, with five
aviators aboard, which disappeared
during the bombardment of Sheshuan
on Wednesday. 1t is feared they were
blown to pieces by their own bombs
or smashed into mountain side in
the clouds.
A careful study of French aviation
operations in Morocco reveals the as
tonishing fact that the percentage of
casualties is higher than in France
during the World War.
This is due partly to the low fly
ing made necessary by the nature of
the warfare and the excellent mark
manship of the Rifians and partly to
the virtual impossibility of making
safe forced landings on the rugged
terrain over which the aviators must
operate.

HEAVY RAIN HALTS' DOUBLE

Day Set for Big French Offensive
on East Front Finds the Roads
impossible.
FORT RELIEVED IN WEST
American Planes Take Part in Ad'
vance From Quezzon-Spanish
Losses Put as High as 1900.

Fez., Sept. 27.-Exactly where and
when it can do the greatest damage
to French plans, rain torrents have
begun falling in the Riff. Today was
to have been the beginning of big
offensive in the eastern sector OF the
front, to be simultaneous with Span
ish attack from Alhucemas IN the
North. But news from the Spanish
front, though confused and censored
is certainly not remarkable for It's IN
dication of any aggressiveness and
the French offensive has had to be
definitely postponed.
When it will begin is uncertain
Rain has been pouring down IN tor
rents for two days. On the clay soil
the water lies, forming great pools
getting churned into the Flanders mud
by the traffic while over the country
side lies a thick fog which makes fly
ing impossible and movement on the
roads difficult and dangerous affair.
AS yet the rain is falling only IN
this eastern sector and curiously
enough, this is usually the dryer. To-
day on the center front the sky was
cloudless and to Abd-el-Krim's follow
ers, it may seem like special dispen-
sation of Allah and certainly for Mar
shall Petain, it is stroke of bad luck
on which he didn't reckon. This rain.
however, isn't normal incident OF
the North African weather scheme,
and there is likely to be change
soon which will permit the campaign
once more to roll forward.

American Bombers Join Attack.

Quezzan, Morocco, Sept. 27.-The
entire squadron of American aviators
participated in the relief of Bouganous
Fort, the most important operation IN
the Ouezzan sector in more than a
month, which was carried out yester-
day morning. This outpost, topping
a mountain lying seven miles north
east Of Ouezzan, overlooks an extern
sive region. 1t was surrounded by the
xebellious tribesmen in April, since
which time it has been the centre OF
violent attacks by the Riffians. Last
Tuesday the American fliers had a
share in a manoeuvre which was
termed the "false relief" of the fort
from which much was learned to aid
in yesterdays operation.
Bombing from the air began be-
fore dawn, each plane making three
or four trips for new bombs. The
enemy positions, which were covered
with straw in an effort to camoufiage
them, were heavily bombarded. The
only casualty suffered by the squad
ron was when Adjutant Soulenan was
slightly wounded by bullet as M
passed low over hill side. Captain
Holden, whose airplane was tempo
rarily out of commission, marched
with the infantry column, accompa
ned by another American, DR.. V
