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.

able to keep up the road to Its present
standard and make necessary improve
ments, 'out cannot afford to make any
extensions."
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

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 the meeting, routine business was

hour. P. I. Bonebrake and John R.
Mulvane acted as tellers in counting the
votes.

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. Kansas no longer Is
an experiment; it is an accomplished

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.
