BATTLE MAP OF
A.E.F.ISPLAI )
[
WASHINGTON,' Sept. 13 by Asso
ciated Press).—One of the most inter
esting exhibits of the thousands in the
world war collection now being gath
ered at the National museum is the
“Order of Battle” map used by Gen
eral Pershing in directing the move
ments of the American forces in
France. The wall map, 8 by 10 feet
in size, together with the walls, door
and furniture of the room in which
it hung at American headquarters at
Chaumont, was transferred to the mu
seum by the war department at the
request of the general.
The map was brought to Washington
and installed in the museum by the
sergeant and three enlisted men of
the headquarters staff who kept it
corrected and guarded it throughout
the war. At Chaumont the map, when
not in use, was concealed by a sliding
section of wall which is installed in
the same manner in the museum.
The map shows in a vivid fashion
the exact situation at the hour the
armistice was signed with reference
to the strength and location of all divi
sions, both enemy and allied, on the
western front, the correct battle line,
the names and location of command
ing officers and locations of headquar
ters and army boundaries. There also
is a considerable amount of detailed
information regarding the American
divisions, as for instance the percent
ages of fresh and tired troops and the
length of time the various units had
been in the line or in reserve.
The War collection has already as
sumed such proportions as to make
necessary some new arrangement for
housing it. Many of the exhibits are
now crowded into the ground floor of
the new National museum building
while others are in the old building
and a few of the artillery pieces are
in the open air awaiting the construc
tion of suitable shelter. William DeC.
Ravenel, the director of the museum,
says congress probably will be asked
at the next session to provide a build
ing for the collection which is of great
historical value.
The airplane exhibit includes all
types of American and French planes
used extensively in combat, pursuit
and bombing work abroad and several
specimens of captured enemy ma
chines. There are also on exhibition
many types of airplane motors. In
addition to the world war aviation
section the museum contains the orig
inal Langley and Wright models.
The collection of American army
medical equipment, furnished by the
war department, is practically com
plete and includes the various types
of operating and X-ray equipment used
in base hospitals and field and ad
vanced base stations, a large variety
of surgical instruments, ambulances
and military dental equipment.
One entire section of the collection
is devoted to exhibits showing the in
ception and development of the gas
mask. Other exhibits include the
great 60-inch searchlight's used in the
field, the field artillery, machine gun
and rifles; uniforms, field equipment
and medals of general officers, sub
ordinate officers and privates of all
the allied countries and Germany and
Austria. There also is a collection of
articles manufactured entirely of paper
by the Germans. These include paper
twine, paper cloth, feed bags, artillery
packs, water buckets, blankets, kit
bags, saddle bags, canteen covers and

ivuajjoa^rvo.
Many other exhibist are being re
ceived daily from the army and navy
and the director hopes to make the
collection the most complete world
war museum in existence.
HIGH SUGAR BRINGS
OTHER HIGH PRICES
NAPOLEONVILLE, La., Sept. 13 (by
Associated Press).—One example of
the effect of the increased price of
sugar was shown here recently when
the Himalaya Company’s plantation
holdings were sold for $350,000. The
plantation was bought 11 years ago for
$20,000.

RAILROADS OF
MEXICO TORN
AND TWISTED
JUAREZ, Mex., Sept. 13 (by Associ
ated Press).—Rehabilitation of Mexi
can industrial life will largely depend
on the railroads, which now at one of
the lowest levels of commercial and
industrial activity, cannot adequately
care for the country’s needs, accord
ing to Mexican railroad officials and
employes.
A trip through Northern Mexico
from the district about Torreon shows
the traveler this apparently is true.
Along the tracks thousands of tons
of rails, twisted, surved and cut by
the revolutionists who sought to cut
communication to hinder pursuit or
harass their enemies can be seen.
Ties need replacing; roadbeds are in
terrible shape and must have much
work done; bridges, permanent ones
and temporary structures built to re
place those blown up by revolution
ists, must be replaced or repaired;
new rolling stock must be bought in
great quantities and the old repaired;
motive power is lacking and the ma
• • i « i _ i • .1. i
juiiuj ui lULumuuvcD aic ucuaicu lvj
be ready for the scrap heap.
Not only are destroyed rails seen
in great quantities along the right of
way but time after time in the course
of a day’s travel will be seen the
skeletons of passengers and freight
coaches burned when trains were cap
tured or fired when trains were
wrecked by dynamite or in collision.
Shippers declare freight service is
exorbitant in price and uncertain in
delivery to the extent of being almost
useless to a shipper. Most of the
country’s business is said to be car
ried on through express shipments
which add greatly to the cost. There
also is a dearth of workers. due to
the railroad employes flocking to the
United States to obtain high wages.
Some large concerns like the Amer
ican Smelting and Refining company
own cars of their own, furnishing cars
and motive power and crews to trans
port their products. Shipments like
hay and other agricultural products
have not been moving in months be
cause of revolutions, high cost of
transportation and lack of rolling
stock except for military purposes.
The cotton growers of the Laguna
district about Torreon, one of the
great cotton growing sections of the
world, this year are worrying about
how they will move their product to
tidewater for export to Europe.
The present government, it wras said
realizes the necessity for improve
ment in the railroad situation and
plans large purchases of rolling stock
and other necessities, but railroad of
ficials declare that these purchases
will fail to be felt for months because
the railroad of the United States from
where materials must come will need
all that can be manufactured for
years.
GREAT NEILAN PICTURE
“UNPARDONABLE SIN”
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY
When Major Rupert Hughes’ story,
“The Unpardonable Sin,” was pub
lished in serial form in one of our
leading magazines, something over a
year ago, the reading world sat up and
gasped. A more vivid, forceful tale of
the brutality and injustice of man
toward woman never was penned.
And the fact that, although fiction of
the highest type, it was founded upon
well authenticated fact, only made the
impression more powerful.
And now, through the wizardry of
a Marshall Neilan, and the genius of
a Blanche Sweet, that tremendous
story has been filmed. After a long
absence Blanche Sweet has returned
to the screen with a greater charm
and power than ever before. Her per
sonality has never been more appeal
ing than in this production, where she
takes the dual role of two sisters—
sisters whose paths in life lead, the
one to suffering and oblivion, the
other, through tragic ways, into the
sunshipe of great happiness.
“The Unpardonable Sin,” as
screened, comprises eight reels. It is
a big drama, with enough comedy sit
uations to relieve the heavy emotional
strain. It is a story that will never
grow old, and one picture that no one
should miss seeing. It is booked for
tonight and tomorrow at the Empress.
A woman may get the last word,
but a man can always slam the door
and go down town leaving her talk
ing, while she has to stay at home
and take it when he starts growling,
and it when he starts growling.
You have a right to be proud
af your ancestors only if they had
sound minds.
