cal dressing** making. When, hits I
In the evening workers ran out of
cotton, three women started out In
the sleet and returned with huge
rolls under their arms. Another
feature of the women's surgical
dressings work is that they do
their own laundry, cut all tholr
own material, and do their own
wrapping anti packing. Pounding
nails Into big box lids Is Just a
pantlmo to the little group of
women who stay after the other
workers huvo gono and pack the

to buy one and take the train too
Is unavailing. In tills respect, ot
colluding three cents n milo In-
stead of two, marked efficiency,
passing strange In the l-'rlsco, Is
evident.
But the 3 cent collection Just
about lots the Frisco out In any
claim to efficiency, according to
tho Boldler boys.
On the Thunksglvliig trip to Ok
Inhomu City u hundred-odd sohtmrs,
seeking recreation from the tou
tine camp, found It in riding u
baggage car to Oklahoma City. The
baggago man didn't like tho <ntru
elon. It Interferod with the so
culled Frisco "syjtom." Therefore
Ids soldier passengers wero om
polled to get off at each station
while baggage was loaded and un
loaded. At Chlckasha several sol
tilers were left behind because they
weren’t spry enough getting back
In the car.
Finally the conductor wae ap
pealed to, and eettlcd tho status
of the Holdlcra as passengers amt
human beings.
Two Trains Back.
On the sumo trip, going hack
the next night, two trains were
run from Oklahoma City to Law-
ton. One was tho regular and
the other a special, carrying sol-
diers only. Many soldiers hoarded
the regular train, knowing there
would be no room for all tho sol
dlers on the special. Borne Frisco
official went thru the regular
train, ordered the soldiers off. and
compelled them to take the spe
cinl. which, ns expected, provided
seats for only about one third of
the passengers, the other two-thirds
having lo stand during the our
hour ride. There were scores ol
vacant seats on the tegular.
This plain discrimination between
civilians and soldiers served to In
crease markedly the rapidly grow
Ing bitterness of soldiers against
tho railway—and to make rainy
soldiers feel that tho public wasn't
Interested In seeing that the army
man got a square deal.
Can’t Art.
The soldier, by the way, Is In n
peculiar'' position so far ns stand
Ing up for Ids rights Is conceit;d
Military law deals summarily with
either a soldier or an officer wno
publicly causes u disturbs ice
“Guilty of conduct unbecoming a
man In ailform" would be the tie
vision very likely for tho man who
expressed himself either physic illy
or too violently by word of mouth,
about such conditions ns those do
scribed. Imprisonment In case of
the enlisted man, anil dismissal for
the officer. Is the penalty on all -b
verdict. Military teaching says
“act as n gentleman In public" ind
military law sees to It that the
soldier docs so.
Accordingly, when a railroad
man us In the case described, he
comes Insulting to a soldier he
knows pretty well that lie can
get away with It. lie knows also
that, In dealing with a civilian, lit
Is not so free from bodily harm
The soldier stands for notion dint
a civilian would have a man ar
rested for.
Therefore, when the Frisco puts
thru "soldier train only" ord-irs,
piling tne Sammies In four to u
■eat, with others standing, It
knows two things—that It ran get
away with It with tho soldiers,
and, at the eamo time, save Its
face with the civilian population,
which cun fo "stronger" In de-
manding lie rights.
Incidentally, there Is n coinmer
clal angle in ull tills, for Okla
lionin City.
Soldiers don't come hero »s
much ns they would If they -.ould
get decent service—obviously.
And there nro thousands who
might visit hero regularly If uch
good eervlce were provided.

SAMMY COOKS
PIES; BOMBED
BY J. W. PEGLERh
United Press Staff Correspondent.
American Field Headquarters,
Dec. 8.—A certain me** sergeant’s
apple plo cookery waa probably
responsible indirectly for injur,
of three American soldier* by a
Gorman aeroplane bomb.
Tho three wero member* of
army "specialty troops."
Tho raid attack occurred on a re-
cent starlit evening. Aeroplanes
dropped two bombs on a town
outside the American army area,
but in which there wtr# a hand-
ful of American specialty troop*
temporarily performing detached
service.
One of the German bombs struck
tho building in which the Ameri-
cans were billeted. A ir^ss ser-
geant of Seattle, today said lie
thought he knew how the liochcs
got their aim.
"I was cooking apple pies,” he
explained "and I think the light
from my cookptove, shining thru
the ventilator roof, must have
guided the enemy. Bomb* dropped
near the kitchen and shook up
the stove—but they didn’t damage
my pie*.”
A third bomb dropped ns til?
enemy sped away into the night
struck a haystack on the edge of
the village, rolled oft*, and landed
plump between tho legs of an
American soldier who had taken
refuge at the base ol! the haystack.
Miraculously, the bomb failed to
explode.
ended the hunt for bodies.
The loss in Halifa. fulls heavi-
est upon the children. VVho.c
f'hocl*, iillecs with pupils, were
demolished, leaving but one or two
turvivors. In other schools every
child was injured by flying glass.
When oilicial government inves-
tigation of the munitions ship ex-
plosion betdns it will be testified
that tho Mont lilanc carried 400U
lions of TN T, the highest explo-
s vo known, and a deckloud of
Is nsino As this donting bomb
came thru the narrows there was
a light mist. Tho duty of tho
vessel was to keep to the right
and hugging the narrows as it
went toward Ledford basin to
await a convoy.
Both "Jay Sailing?"
Tbo Belgian relief ship Imo was
coming out of tlie basin and some
Witnesses claim neither ship was
on its proper side of the stream.
In order to rectify the mistake
they exchanged signal* which were
evidently misunderstood. The Imo
rammed the munitions ship, backed
away und run aground on the
Dur* mouth shore.
Twenty minutes uftor tho colli-
s,on, it is declared, tho munitions
ships blew up where she had
grounded ut l'ier 8. The explo-
sion on board the Mont Blanc was
three times as powerful as fulrni-
rate. Powder experts say that
l ad the cargo had a solid founda-
tion beneath it there would not
have been a rat or u cat left alive
In Halifax.
Debris Five Miles Away.
Pieces of shells, stje. plates und
snrapnel have been found live
miles from Halifax. At Orange-
dale, Cape Breton, 150 miles dis-
tant in an airline, und at Sydney,
200 miles away, the shock was that
of a severe earthquake.
At Truro, 62 miles distant, tho
windows of the ^.earinont hotel
were shattered and the clock was
shaken from the wall of the train
dispatcher's oflice. At Meagher*
Grant, 35 miles away, a barn was
lifted from its foundations as tho
the work had been done by an ex-
pert house mover.
Two American vessels were mak-
ing port ut the time. One, a crui-
s» r, about 45 miles off Halifax,
was so shaken that the chief offi-
cer believed ills ship had struck a
mine.
Then, Leeing another craft on
tho horizon, be concluded that he
had been fired on. Ho stopped to
irvestigute tho stranger. A hos-
pital ship, 60 miles off Halifax, felt
the shock und at once concluded
that tho cruiser, whose JocatiOB
was known to it, wras In action*
Raised 40-Foot Wave.
The explosion *aised a tidal
wuvo in tht harbor that went 40
feet over tho tracks of the Inter-
colonial railway und lifted and
swept away loaded freight cars.
Today the railway loss In rolling
stock was placed at 300 loaded
freight cars, 100 passenger cars
and 20 locomotives.
Rev. N. Lemolno is pastor at
St. Mark’s Angelican church in the
north end. Ills house is gone, his
church gone—nothing remains but
the cellar of his Sunu y school and
there the pastor Is now living.
Half tho members of his parish
are dead. Al! but two of his choir
have perished. Not a single ves-
tryman remains. Practically the
same la true of St. Joseph’s Ro-
] man Catholic church.
Forty-six children died in the
1‘ioteelunt orphanage, with the
matron and three domestics. Two

| Hundreds of pitl'ul tales are be-
i ing told today.
Reporter Was Killed.
I Jack Konayne, marine reporter
1 of the Halifax Chronicle, tele-
phoned bis office at Da. m. Thurs-
day that a vessel was burning in
the harbor. He ran to the spot to
get the story and was killed in
the explosion. His corpse wrus
time to an infirmary.
A little later a girl reporter from
hlu paper went there to get a
list of injured. Hhe fpund Konayne,
her desk neighbor at thn office,
among the dead.

He’s the newspaper man with the great big punch.
C. C. Lyon, credited' by the war department as The Oklahoma News
correspondent with the American forces in France, was picked i'ur bis
job because The News has tried and proved his brand of punch.
It was Lyon who, during the American army’s mobilization on the
Mexican border in 1916, served as a soldier. That was his way of making
sure this paper would land the inside facts.
Tt vvas(Lyon who a few months ago enlisted in the United Stales navy,
with the result that The News was able to tell its readers just what life
aboard the United States battleships, cruisers and submarines is really
like
' - U,4W - .-'.ViiJCD.y^ . '..jTiat a....- # a ae-taa .
When Lyon puts a stunt of this sort over he subjects himself to all
the labor and hazard of the war game. Only the war or navy department
knows that he is really not an enlisted man.
Lyon’s stories of the Sammies in France are so well worth reading
you can’t afford to miss them, yet you will miss them unless you read The
News, for he writes for News readers exclusively.
