Wearing Besmirched Svpllee, He Trudges Gory Battlefield. FHAO AS KE QuCHES HIalster Frays for French and Germans Alike. Consoles the Sorrowing Buries the Dead. and tBy William G. Shepherd.! On the Battlefield of Solssons. Oct. J J. i wish I could show you the little gray-haired priest of this village near Solssons as he goes about his duties them days. There's the peace of a certain wartess land that he knows about on his face and he reads ,his cervices over a dead German with the same tender tones and the same smile of hope that he has for the dead sol dier who sleeps in the red. white and blue of Prance. . I first saw him as he passed through the Tillage square in his robes that had one been white. His surplice was lashed with the mud of hundreds of W.m.bC which dash through toe narrow, wet streets. On his feet were army shoes, as muddy as any NMtar But he raised his face as chanted -ervice from a book In his hands :rwhen I saw his smile. I forgot fthe -rime. Behind him marched four rW. guarded by soldiers. Even be foiy"w who or what they were I saw that there was something es pecially evil and gruesome about them. A French officer explained the proces sion to me: Foot Looters. "These men are Germans who w eaught wearing civilian clothes. May be they were spies; who knows? But they are worse than spies. They were caught looting the French and Ger man dead out there on the battlefield. They are being taken out now to be Shot." . . It was a thing to shudder over, but the little clergyman marched on with the look of hope and mercy on his lace as if he knew someone who un derstood and even controlled all this madness and evil Into which human ity has fallen, someone who knows the weakness of humanity so well that he might have pity even on a man who had robbed the dead. The next time I saw the little clergy man was at the entrance to the Red Cross- hospital. Three caskets stood in the high hallway, which opened onto the street. A line of French soldiers stood at attention, facing the door way. A Red Cross ambulance drew up and the soldiers broke their rigid for mation to make way for five wounded soldiers who were carried past the coffins where three dead soldiers rested. The soldiers reformed again. There was evidently a hitch In the proceed ings. The church was across the street and, by the glances of the offi cers towards the church door, I could see they were waiting for the clergy man. Then I saw him come to the door. God's Soldier. Five women and two little girls, all In black, were following him, persist ently, and speaking to him. He stopped and .spoke a moment with each woman. They knelt, one at a time, on the sidewalk, as he raised his hand In blessing, over each mourning be decked head. He held his hands on the heads of the little girls and raised his face upwards as if he were tell ing someone to take special notice of two little folks who needed extra care. All this time the soldiers were wait ing. The priest walked across the street, through the mud, his soldier's hoes spattering the dirt onto his sur plice, the officers saluted, the soldiers raised the caskets, the little priest led off through the slush - and the three dead soldiers of France were started on their last march. I've seen the little priest a score of times since then. He marches more than any soldier. There are scores of dead to bury; there are dozens of tories and confessions to hear from dying men in the hospitals; there are the broken-hearted women and chil dren of the village who have lost their soldier loved ones to be comforted and his task was so great that it seemed to me that if I' were the little priest and saw so much of such ter rible sorrow in a world gone so far awry I would take oft my white robe and fold it way and say, "God has forgotten us. What's the use?" Only I know by the little clerev. man's face that he knows that God has not forgotten us, even though the cannons of men who are hunirrv to kill are sounding above the chant of me runeral services and even though each crash means more broken hearts auia more aeaa to bury. Claim She Is German. Halifax. Oct. 22. Service was expect d todav of a writ, which hi. k,...., i. - . ..-u wcil to ued in the admiralty court, against the learner B rind ilia, owned by the Stand ard Oil company, which was seized by the British auxiliary cruiser Caronia and brought here a few days ago. The writ charges that the transfer of the learner rrom uerman to American reg istry was not bona fide and that the ownership of the Brindilla is still Ger man. The owners are given seven days la which to file a defense. It is under stood that after the sheriff has placed officers on board the steamer the crew will be sent back to New Tork. General Drayton Ives bead. New Tork, Oct: 22. General Dray ton Ives, veteran -of the Civil war and for many years a prominent figure in the financial district, died today, aged 74. at his country home in Ominimr N.

Mr. Ripley said that while the sug gested extensions from Caney, Kan., to Pawhuska, Okla., and from Superior. Neb., northward, were probably need ed, nothing could be done, in the near future about them. War Has Its Effect. V ' "The European war," Mr. Ripley said, "is being felt in every line, of business. It will, however, open new European markets for American products, and Increased demand for our products in the old markets. In addition to this. American goods will be in great de mand in other parts of the world hith erto supplied by Europe, South Amer ica, the Orient and other great districts where Europe has .sent millions of dollars' worth of material annually. "There will also be a forced devel opment of our own resources and in dustries. Parts of the United States, such as the great southwest territory served by the Santa Fe system, are capable of producing everything for their needs. If the southwestern por tion of this country was isolated from the rest of the world, everything need ed could be produced in abundance." Talk Before Apprentices. Mr. Ripley gave a short talk before the Santa Fe school of apprentices this morning. He was introduced by Frame W. Thomas, the supervisor of the school. Last 'night I was among the men who used to operate the Santa Fe rail way," he said to the students; "now I am with those who will run the rail way In the future." ' Inspect the Shops. President Ripley and several other officials spent most of the morning in the Santa Fe shops on a tour of inspec tion. The party consisted of the presi dent. Vice Presidents W. B. Storey and W. E. Hodges, M. J. Drury, superin tendent of shops, F. W. Thomas, su pervisor of apprentices, C. H. Swanson, superintendent of the car shops, and J. C. McGoff, mechanical superintend ent. ! Vice President Storey spent three hours in the shops and when he came out his hands were black from actual contact with the machinery. With Mr. Drury at his elbow, Mr Storey asked hundreds of questions, made numerous suggestions and must, have- closely in spected at least twenty engines and many other parts of machinery.':. Number of Stockholders. There are 3,103.493 shares in the Atch ison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway com pany, according to the report submitted at the stockholders' meeting today. Of these, 1.141,738 are shares In preferred stock: 1,196.755 shares in common stock. At tne meeting today. 616.244 shares. preferred, and 1,236.935 shares, com mon, a total of 1,853,179 shares, were voted. Most of these shares were voted by proxy. There are 40,573 stockholders of the road. Seventeen thousand and sixty-seven persons hold preferred stock and 23,506 hold common stock. Equipment Cost Millions. W. H. Simpson, general advertising agent of the Santa Fe. was in Topeka last night attending the A. A. Robinson dinner. Mr. Simpson is enthusiastic about passenger- traffic 'to -California this winter and during the exposition period in 1915. "Our advertising campaign on the California expositions will - probably start in the national magazines during December, and a little before that in the newspapers," Mr. Simpson said. "I think that the war in Europe will have the effect of sending many people to California who ordinarily go abroad in the winter. Assurances have been given me by the management of both California expositions at San Francisco and San Diego that the war will have no effect on them. None of the Euro pean nations have signified a desire to withdraw exhibits, and it seems scarce ly UKeiy tnat tney will do so. A po litical significance has been attached to the expositions in view of the fact that America being a great neutral na tion will probably be called upon to conduct peace negotiations when they are Degun. for this reason it is prob able that the warring nations will want to appear to best advantage before us and will therefore seize the expositions as a means of placing before the peo ple of the United States their indus trial activities. "New equipment costing upwards of two million dollars has been purchased to help handle the heavy traffic to California, and we are carrying on ex tensive improvements at Grand Can yon, such as the building of new rest houses about the rim; the addition of a new cottage and dining room at Bright Angel camp, one of the Grand Canyon hotels, and the opening up of several new rim trails." Meeting; at Noon The nineteenth annual meeting of the stockholders of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company was held in Topeka at noon today. Forty thou sand stockholders of the system were represented at the meeting ..by proxy. Many executive officers were here for the meeting. E. P. Ripley of Chicago, Howel Jones of Topeka, Charles Steele and Henry Prltchett of New York were slated for re-election as members of the board of directors. Dr. Pritchett was elected by the board last June to fill the vacancy caused by the death of . Byron Smith of Chicago. The directors were elected for a term of four years. The annual financial statement was submitted to the stockholders and ap proved by them. This statement was made public early in the month by President Ripley, showing a sound financial footing, with, however, an in crease in expenses and a heavy de crease in receipts, especially in freight revenue. Inspect the Shops. This morning President E. P. Ripley. Vice President W. B. Storey, in charge of operation. Vice President W. E. Hodges, in charge of the department of purchases and stores. M. J. Dury, super intendent of the Topeka shops, and other officials, made a tour of inspection of the shops. After visiting the shops. Pres ident Ripley called on several officials at the general offices before the meeting ing or stocxnoiaers was cauea promptly at noon. At the meeting, routine business was transacted. The meeting lasted one hour. P. I. Bonebrake and John R. Mulvane acted as tellers in counting the votes. I Art of Directors.

Kansas an Empire Chambers. ...Edward - Chambers" f-"-etiicgo, vice president fn charge of traffic, "is nof !so well known in Topeka as are many; of the other visiting officials, but he is one of the Santa Fe'. top- notchers who worked his way from the bottom. He en tered the service of the company in 1ST8 as a . freight handler . in the depot at Pueblo, Col. While in Pueblo Mr. Cham bers also served as check clerk, transfer foreman and cashier. Then he went to San Diego, Cal., as agent, later to Los Angeles as agent. In Los Angeles he also served as commercial agent, from which position he was promoted to be general freight agent of the lines wect of Albuquerque..- In March, ,1906, he was aH pointed freight traffic manager of the syst-. i with headquarters in San Fran cisco, and in the spring of 1913 was elect ed vice president, to succeed the late George T. Nicholson,-; with headquarters in Chicago. Mr. Chambers is recognized as high au thority on transcontinental traffic mat ters, and has a keen insight to local con ditions. He makes it his business to fa miliarize himself with what is going on in every part of Santa Fe territory, and to know the needs of every community ;n Uie development of natural resources. "Kansas," said Mr. Chambers, "is an empire in Itself, and its agricultural de velopment is in its infancy. Diversified, intensive and scientific farming is the kind that makes rich people and a great state, and the farmers of Kansas are proving every year that modern methods and stick-to-itiveness will conquer - cli matic conditions.

It is claimed, was re cently removed from service. No Effort to Stop It. While Bowman, was keeping cards and cases on the two Democratic members of the board, he admits that he made so effort to stop the pay ment of. any of . the bills, which he now declares were illegal. Asked to day if he had noted, in the records of the board his protest against the. ac tion of which he now. complains. Bow man said he, had not. x . - "The vote of - two members is suf ficient for any action," said Bowman. "There was nothing for me to do or say." Bowman also neglected, he admit ted, to protest against the approval of any of the alleged Illegal vouchers and permitetd their approval by the state auditor without complaint. Bowman said that he believed he had talked to Auditor Davis about the situation in the office. No effort was made, how ever to hold up any of the vouchers or warrants which Mr. Bowman now says were illegal. Bowman Former Chairman. Under the administration of Gov ernor Stubbs, Bowman was chairman of the board of control. He is now serving his eighth year as a member of the board. When Governor Hodges was elected, he was called upon to fil la recess appointment and name the successor to a second mem ber whose term expired. He appoint ed W. E. Brooks of Fort Scott- and Stance Myers of Leavenworth to fill the places. Since that time Brooks has been chairman of the board. Governor Hodges has as yet made no statement concerning the situation in the office of the board. He is in the Third district this week and may not return to Topeka until the latter part of next week.' HEART HAMMERED INTO A ZIG-ZAG LINE tContinued from Page One other dispatch said the guns of the war vessels had destroyed the village of Slype on the canal between Ostend and Bruges, where it is said the Germans have their headquarters. At Sluis only a few miles to the northeast of Slype, In 1340 a British fleet achieved a victory over the French. It is clear now that ships have been playing an important part in the war fare along the coast. The admiralty of ficially announces that the monitors Severn, Humber and Mersey not only bombarded the German position south of Ostend but landed detachments of marines with machine guns. It la re ported from other sources that eleven war vessels in all are taking part In the operations. Dodge the Submarines. - Curiously enough, the monitors retain that title from "Lincoln's cheese box" of civil war fame, and so far apparent ly they have been able to dodge sub marine attacks. How the German sub marines got to Ostend is unknown but presumably they crept .down the Dutch coast, submerged whenever sighted by a British patrol, then picked their way carefully through the British mine fields. With the fighting along the Belgian coast hardly more than seventy miles from Dover that area of hostilities necessarily holds chief Interest with the British public though, according to last night's Paris official communication, there were violent actions here and there along more than a seventy-mile front, extending almost" due north and south from Nieuport to ' La Bassee. Everywhere the allies claimed to be holding their positions. Reinforcements for the German rlaht have been spoken of daily since Ostend was taken and today comes a renort that Austrian forces 'were being trans- rerred from the Italian frontier for this purpose. Rumors that Emperor Wil liam is seriously 111 are filtering in here via Paris and this with a report that a German fleet is off Falsterbo, Sweden, are among the usual crop of uncon firmed narratives that London is dis cussing. From the east comes a claim of the Austrian that they have retaken the last point in the Carpathians held by tne Russians and It was added that there is "now no enemy on Hungarian soil." A reiteration that the Germans have been routed south of Warsaw was the gist of Petrograd's latest com munication. The members of the Ameri can . commission charged with the duty of sending food to the starving Belgians are due to meet in London today. THE ".FEATHER RECORD.
