We ara in a fairly s-afe position but

found the enemy- in a horseshoe posi-

den the foremost Germans all over the
field advanced. They were eHher wav-

a flagman at a Frisco crossing in Law-
ton failed to warn him the horse he

himself his wife and baby frcm the
buggy and so injured him that he ahs
lost the use of his right arm.

NEW RATE
EFFECTIVE
By United Press.
Washington Oct. 15. Drastic and
sweeping reductions In express rates
for the entire United States recently
ordered by the interstate commerce
commission became effective today.
Also effective at once the express
companies are ordered to revise busi-
ness methods. The latter order the
commission declares la designed to
"safeguard the public." It simplifies
the claim of shippers when disputes
arise and disposes of red tape
methods.
Rate reductions range all the way
from 10 to (iO per cent foodstuffs
drawing the principal reductions.
The new rates a.o to be "experimen-
tal" for two years the commission
announced. Unless it is shown that
the express companies suffer too great
a loss of revenue the rates will even-
tually become permanent Th com-
mission ruled that the express com-
panies can effectively compete with
the government parcel post and with
sufficient efforts and reasonable rates
can offset any losses.

C. Johnston well
county's premier
cricketer Is beginning to believe he
bears a charmed life. He has been
sent home wounded from the front
but he said he considers himself
mighty lucky to be even alive. He
had many narrow escapes from death.
The day before he was wounded the
nose of a shell hit a well six Inches
over his head. Shortly after the bullet
hit the ground a half yard ahead of
him glanced up and hit him on the
l.ody only bruising him. Then a bul-
let hit him over the heart bat it was
"spent" and he picked it out of his
breast and scut it home to his wife as
a souvenir. His final escape came
while he was sitting on the steps of
a house. Half the building was blown
up and he was not eve'n touched.
"I had a narrow escape. A shrap-
nel bullet cut through my coat over
the left shoulder. It knocked me down
an It hurt a bit but no real damage
was done. No infantry appeared in
front of us but the gun fire Is most
disagreeable. We slept on the battle-
field all night. I believe things are
going well."

Judge Gemmill. "Four lawyers defend
them all. They are regularly hired by
tiie organization of pickpeskets and
three bondsmen seem to sign all the
bends for pickpockets arrested.
"Every crook who 'plays the game
square' can get a bondsman without
difficulty but that's only the begin-
ning of the work of the pickpocket's
trust. Complaining witnesses often
change their testimony; and in one
case a woman was even Induced to re-
place a stolen pocketbook in her hus-
band's coat to save a pickpocket from
conviction.

the system. They are paid by the or-
