company's telephone number in
Springfield. Besides green blotters,
pencils, ink, stationary and decora
tions, Mr Williams carries "300

REUMTE AT VICKSBURG
Grays and Bines Meet on Old Battle
Groirhd, Sow National Park.
By Associated Press
VICKSBURG, MISS., Oct 17. Vet
erans of the sixties, some of whom
wore the blue and some the gray,
gathered here yesterday for a four
d,ays' reunion on the field where they
met in battle more than half a century
ago.
Congress made an appropriation of
$150,000 to cover the expense of the
reunion, which is being held under the
direction of the Secretary of War, "in
commemoration of a half century of
peace and good fellowship." Legis
latures of ten states, most of them in
the north, took official cognizance of
the celebration and appropriated sums
aggregating $200,000 to provide trans
portation to VIcksburg for the veter
ans. These states are California,
Illinois. Iowa, Nebraska, New York,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Minne
sota, Wisconsin and Arkansas.
Near the trenches where the Union
and Confederate armies contested so
bitterly in 1SC3, the camp of the
survivors of the famous battle has
been pitched. It is located In the
National Military Park, which Is a
restoration of the siege lines. The
park which is about three miles from
VIcksburg, covers more than 1,300
acres and contains thirty-two miles of
spIendiU driveways. The veterans will
be housed during their stay in great
tents, the largest of which covers
more than 45,000 square feet. Chefs
from New Orleans have been brought
here to assist In the work of feeding
the aged soldiers. Colonel W. D. New-
bill, of the United States army, has
charge of the arrangements.
During the reunion, which ends Fri
day, the United States navy and Mis
souri memorials in the park will be
dedicated. Troops representing all
branches of the military service have
been brought here for the ceremonies.
WOST REDUCE
HOG PRICES
Hooi er
Telegraphs Mumford
to
Deny a Report.
Dean F. B. Mumford, State Food
Administrator, received a telegram
from Herbert C. Hoover, U. S. Food
Administrator, this afternoon, in
which he stated that the price of
pork would not be reduced. The ele
gram follows:
"A statement has appeared in Chi
cage papers that we have the intention
of reducing hog prices to $10 at Chi
cago, wte advise you that this is
absolutely untrue. It does not repre
sent an opinion or a proposed action
of the Food Administration, which will
take no steps to jeopardise the live
stock producers' interest. All our
endeavor will be used to keep prices
at which all allied and governmental
purchases are made and which
gives assured return of cost and
profit to producers of meat animals.
In our opinion the best market ob
tainable for the present corn crop of
the country will be through livestock.
We need increased production of beef
and pork. The only way to secure this
increase will be by a profit on pro
duction. Will appreciate your giving
this widest publicity."

BONDS JOR COUNTY
Banks Vote to Subscribe'
Per Cent of Resources in
Second Issue.
MEET HERE TODAY
Total Sales to Date Reach
$150,000 Columbia Has
Purchased $46,050."
The banks of Boone County, with
the exception of two which were not
represented at the meeting, voted this
morning to subscribe 4 1-2 per cent of
their combined resources for the
purchase of bonds in the second
Liberty Loan issue. This means that
the county banks will buy between
$200,000 and $250,000 worth of bonds.
The bankers reached this decision
at a meeting called by H. II. Banks
at the Commercial Club rooms at 11
o'clock. The banks In Hartsburg,
Harrisburg, Centralia and Hallsville
were represented. A representative of
the Ashland bank called by telephone
to report that his bank agreed to the
decision. Rocheport and Sturgeon
were not represented.
$150,000 Sold in County.
II. S. Jacks, secretary of the Boone
County Liberty Loan organization,
estimates that the sale of Liberty
Loan bonds in Boone County has
reached $150,000. Columbia town
ship alone has sold $10,000 worth of
bonds. This does not include the
amount sold in Columbia, which rose
to $46,050 today, after the Boone
County National Bank had announced
that $5,100 had been added to its sub
scription list. The committee of the
University faculty and administrative
officers, of which Dean Isidor Loeb
is chairman, reported that up to date
thirty of the teachers and officials
had subscribed a total of $7,500 for
bonds.
AH solicitation so far has been done
by letters. Dean Doeb considers this
a good start as the letters were only
sent out this week and many more are
expected to respond before the end of
the week. The chairman believes that
$20,000 to $25,000 will be raised before
Sunday. If this amount is not secured
by letter the committee will then make
an effort, to raise more by a personal
canvass of all who have not answered
to the written appeal.

Greater Distance Cruised in
5 Months of War Than in
2 Years of Peace.
NO LOSSES OF LIFE
Each Boat Credited With
Submarine Encounter
Shipping Loss Less.
By Associated Frets
BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTILLA
IN BRITISH WATERS, Oct. 17. In
the five months of active service they
have seen in the great war, the Ameri
can destroyers have steamed collec
tively a total distance of 875,000 miles.
This is more by several times than the
distance cruised in two full years of
peace.
What makes these figures all the
more impressive is that they have
been reached without the loss, through
acciuent oi war, or a single life or
very serious mishap to any of the
destroyers.
The destroyers have spent five-
eighths of the time at sea, an average
time In port of three days after each
term of five or six days outside.
Americans therefore can claim no
smaU part, of the credit for the gradual
decrease in shipping losses.
Depth Bombs and Charges Used.
First of all, the addition of our
units to the Allied units patrolling an
area as large as that bounded by the
great "V" formed by New York,
Detroit and Knoxville, was certain to
make life less comfortable for the U
boats. Next, the Americans applied
the tactics of the long experienced
British and, in some cases, improved
on them. All the destroyers added to
their equipment depth bombs and
charges and other devices.
Then, the crews learned some
more about the business of smoke
screening a merchant fleet while they
beat off attacking submarines with
gun fire and depth charges. Their
gunnery has also been much improved.
Stalked Underwater Craft.
In the period of active service over
here, each destroyer has taken many
turns at patrolling duty. Occasionally
the' routine is broken by a call to
general headquarters, usually caused
by the presence of a U-boat or the
location of the crew of a torpedoed
ship.
Each destroyer has to its credit at
least one encounter with a submarine.
while some have stalked two or three
underwater craft. At no time, how
ever, have the submarines shown
fight. They always avoid meeting the
destroyers with their American crews
ready for battle.
COJrPASY F 3IAS IS RECOVERISG
Frank Kctchnm Underwent Previous
Operation Last Year on Border.
G. W. Ketchum of Columbia, now in

SHOWS LOSDOS IS WAR TIMES
T. W. Koch of Washington Gives Illus
trated Talk In Auditorium.
How the city of London prepares for
the endless march into France, takes
care of the wounded and laughs at the
war-grim humor arising, was illus
trated by pictures and a talk last night
at the University Assembly by Theo
dore W. Koch of Washington. Mr.
Koch is chief of the order division of
the Library of Congress.
He went to London to buy books.
His cablegrams were censored, as
was his mail, and officials pointed out
how propanganda coming in school
books from Holland made It necessary
to look through books from cover to
cover.
"One soldier sent a postcard home,"
said Mr. Koch, which said, 'I just
sent six Huns to Hell.' Hell was
crossed out, and the censor wrote
on the margin that it was t not per
missable to tell the exact location of
the enemy."
Mr. Koch showed pictures of the
ruined University of Louvain. The
library is a pile of trash. Only one
book was saved from the Germans
and the librarian happened to have
that one out at the, time.'
Other views shown were those of
Salisbury Plains which is one of the
great training camps of England; the
devastated sections of London which
have been brought about through Ger
man air raids; the 'crge buildings
and camps which have been set aside
for the use of Belgium refugees; the
types of modern air-craft which have
been evolved as the result the pres
ent war, and views of Red Cross
units in their work upon the battle
fields of Western Europe.

SPRINGFIELD, 111, Oct. 17. Early
reports today to the headquarters of
the Illinois Coal Operators' Associa

mines in the Central and Southern
Illinois coal fields are being shut
down as a result of the efforts of the
miners to force an Immediate increase
in wages. It was estimated that sixty
mines are now idle.

ments. The miners in the northern
field who have named "a committee to
formulate new demands are said .to
