He was a very sick and sorry looking soldier when he finally return ed to the starting point at the Candy Cottage and dumped "Gimpy' out of his precarious perch on the swaying wheelbarrow, vowing that, from now on he is going to Hay off" of those wise guys from the Quartermaster Corps.
 Not only did one of the boys from the cable office give "Gimpy'' free ride but several of them contributed to his supply of cigaretts, enough, "Gimpy" says to last him until the next Dempsey -Tunney fight.

VIENNA, january 31.-Four per-
sons dead, including an S.year-old boy,
and IA in hospitals, including 6-year-
old boy. is the toll Austria has just
paid at Loibersbach, near Wiener Neu-
stad, for the bitter class hatred which
became strong enough following the
overthrow of the monarchy to take
over the government of the new re-
public, and which still is strong
enough to control Vienna, the heart
of the nation.
Mass Meeting Held.
The Socialists, according to their
custom OF holding a propaganda mass
meeting every Sunday, scheduled a
mass meeting at Loibersbach for Sun
day afternoon. Loibersbach, strongly
non n-Socialist, resented the meeting.
The anti-Socialist Fascist "Haken-
kreuzlers' assembled in a local inn.
1t Is also the custom of the opposing
group to have a detachment gather
somewhere near each gathering which
the other arranges, and such detach-
ments, If Socialists, are alloweSf by the
police to wear suspended from their
waists a small wooden club resembling
base ball bat. while IL Haken.
kreuzlers, they are permitted to wear
large rubber clubs, resembling a po-
liceman's baton. Thought the or
ganizations officially forbid it, it is
also customary for numerous mem
bers of both groups to carry firearms.
Shots Fired From Windows.
In the present instance the Haken-
kreuzlers, from the windows of the
inn, fired several shots over the heads
of the Socialists, presumably as a
warning, as the latter marched past
the inn to their meeting place. The
Socialists informed the police and the
police protected the meeting.
After the meeting the Socialists
again marched past the inn, singing
RED" songs. The Hakenkreuzlers
waited until the majority had passed
and then opened fire. with heavy
casualties.
