WORKMAN HAS ACCIDENT;
BREAKS LEFT FOREARM
While at work on the new build
| ing next door to the Belmont, Joe
Shultz missed his footing yesterday
afternoon and fell to the first floor
from the second floor and broke
his left forearm at the elbow. A
crowd collected immediately after
the accident and someone turned in
a fire alarm, but the chemical did
not respond as it was plainly seen
| that the alarm was false.
Shultz was taken to the hospital
for treatment and he is reported <o
be resting easy today. He will be

THOROUGH TRAINING
New Regiment* Learn to Do Eerry- I
thing Quickly and In Very
Systematic Manner.
CAMP KEARNEY, San Diego—;
System and teamwork are brought
to as high a pitch in the engineer
regiments of the army as in the
traditional circus organizations, offi
cers say. An instance of the co-op- i
eration which is developed among
the engineers came to light near.
Cuyamaca Lake recently, where, i
while one set of men was dulling
1
I axes felling pine trees for bridge
i i
timbers, three others were busy with
|
| rotary tool sharpeners putting edges
| on dulled axes. Enough axes were ;
! carried to provide a sharp axe for
every axeman all the time.
The dull axes were brought in to
the tool sharpeners and piled on
one side of a log. As each was
sharpened it was placed on the other
side of the log and the sharpener;
cried “Sharp axe!” Any axeman
whose weapon was dulled could come
or send for a new one. 1
One tool sharpening device was
clamped to the edge of a split hollow
tree and a man acquainted with its
; working explained to another less
i well versed, the peculiarities of em
! ery wheels in general and this one in
particular, while the two operated
the machine.

WAR PRISONERS
IN RUSSIA ARE
LONDON'—The German war pris
oner has become the “hobo” of
Russia—an idle, shiftless wanderer
who wants neither to work nor to
fight. Many such prisoners, both
Germans and Austrians, were en
countered at different points in
Russia by the members of the Amer
ican Red Cros? Mission returning
from Rumania. They were never
under guard, were usually in small
groups, and apparently had no em
ployment or wish for employment.
They were without arms and shab
bily clad, and always declared em
phatically that they had no desire
to get back into the German army,
nor even any wish to return to Ger
many until after a general peace
was declared.
If the prisoners showed any dis
position to organize or even to
travel about in marauding bands,
| they would furnish a serious prob
lem, but under present conditions,
they are merely a nuisance.
At a small station north of Vol
ogda, there was a group of about
fifty prisoners idling on the station
platform, some asleep in the winter
sun, some playing cards, others
whittling little toys and knick
knacks out of soft wood. The Asso
ciated Press correspondent talked
with several of them. They were
greatly surprised to hear that the
United Spates had entered the war
a year before, and several of them
expressed still more surprise at be
' ing informed that America was not
the ally of Germany.
They had been sent to this part
■ of Russia nearly two years before
in a railway construction gang, but
had done no work for several weeks.
They lived in freight cars and got
I their food by hook or crook from
the villagers.
Some of them declared that they
had not had a square meal for many
days, and they accepted with gen
uine gratitude three old loaves of
black bread and a few pieces of
chocolate which the Americans were
able to spare them As an after
thought, one of the Americans
brought out to them the remains
of a large- round American cheese.
It had been purchased in New York
: city and had accompanied the mis
sion from Vancouver to Yokohoma,
Moscow and Jassy, serving through
out the Rumanian campaign.
There were several large camps
of German prisoners in the far
north of Russia, but these had most
ly broken up completely since the
revolution, owing to difficulties with
the food supply. It was said that
thousands of German prisoners in
these northern camps died of scurvy
which was also prevalent 'u many
of the far-northern villages and
among the refugees.
THE RUBY ROOSTER
To his little hen wife, crowed this
i gay young rooster,
; “You don’t seem to love me as
much as you use’ ter,
Just tell me what the trouble is, be
ginning at its source,
For I’ll do, or promise, anything to
head off a divorce.”
Replied his little speckled wife, with
‘ nought of hesitation,
i “If you would keep your home and
me, go get a reputation;
1 Do something for your country,
don’t set and watch me knit,
' For I’ll not love a slacker who’s
too tired to do his bit.”
- Such plain spoken speech gave this
gay young bird from Ruby
• Much matter for reflection and he
felt just like a booby;
But he pondered and thought, as he
scratched’ round in the gravel,
And finally he hit upon this scheme
of his travel.
So he went and joined the ranks
of the Red Cross boosters.
Abandoning all the habits of the
idle class of roosters:
He left his wife and family, put a
price upon his head.
So the least Nenanaites can do’s
' i to see that he gets fed.

Chinese babies, ate sweet cake, and
drank tea in the district’s most pre
tentious Chinese restaurant.
