DEVASTATED POLAND
Schools Are Re-established, and Fields of Grain Now Grow Where Deadly Battles Were Fought.
BERLIN, July id.—Warm commendation over. the work done in'Russian Poland by the Germans during the period of occupation was given bjjODr. Kferl Helfferich, secretary of the interior and the imperial vice chancellor, today on his return, from a visit to that country.
Dr. Helfferich, who recounted the impressions of his visit to a member of the Overseas News agency staff, contrasted the condition of the* country under Russian rule with the state of affairs there today. In the time of peacc before the outbreak of the present war, the Russians ha^ neglected the country, said Dr. Helfferich. Then came the period of hostilities which had devastated the land. Under these conditions the Germans took up their work, which the vice chancellor Insisted has been accomplished with a success which could find few parallels in history. s-
The retreating Russians, Dr. Helfferich pointed out, had burned villages a'hd towns and destroyed the harvests. The Germans first built roads through the devastated territory and supplied cattle and seeds to the inhabitants, .with the result that now one frequently could see hundreds of cattle while fields of standing grain were on all sides.
Schools Now Maintained. He cited an instance of aid given the inhabitants by the Germans, the farmers of one district being left tlfS hodses of two regiments for field work on orders given by Gen. Ludendorff.
Dt. Helfferich said he found schools everywhere now even at places wnere none were maintained when the Russians ruled the country. The University of Warsaw, where lectures were given in the Polish tongue* had a large number of students.
All nationalities, Dr. Helfferich said, were given equal recognition with the white Russians and Lithuanians. Ter
The Perfect Cora Flakes
New Post Toasties are not only inexpensive but they bear a new deliciousness, produced by a new process of cookery—the first to produce corn flakes with the self-developed true corn flavor.
So fine is this flavor that New Post Toasties are wondrous good eaten dry. Unlike common corn flakes, they do not require cream and sugar to make them palatable. Try some that way—you'll appreciate the point, though they're even better when served with cream or good milk.
These New Post Toasties don't mush down in cream, and they are not "chaffy" in the package, like common flakes. They're new in form, new in flavor and new in appearance. Note the tiny bubbles on each flake—an identifying feature.
Put up in wax-sealed packages, New Post Toasties retain their oven-crisp-ness and flavor until served at your table. Have your grocer deliver a package for tomorrow's breakfast.<p></p>Toasties
Tractor Goes Through Bridge At Bicknell, Crushing One Man To Death and Seriously Injuring Another
HEAVY TRACTOR CARRIES BRIDGE DOWN NEAR BICKNELL.
BICKNELL, Ind., July 19.—The picture shows the bridge near here which collapped Sunday under the weight of a tractor operated by John Mummerich, a well-to-do farmer here. He was caught tinder the fly wheel and crushed to death. One of his assistants was injured.
rible suffering existed among the Jews when the Germans arrived, the vice chancellor declared, and in most towns they had been excluded from the schools by the. Russians. The Germans, he added, introduced self-gov-ernment in the country for the first time and admitted Jewish representatives to the governmental bodies.
HEAD OF MOORE GROUP DIES.
Chlcagoan Stirred Things on Market and Brought on Panic. CHICAGO, July 19—James Hobart Moore, of Santa Barbara, Cal., brother of Judge W. H. Moore, with whom he formed four corporations known as the Moore group, ilied at Lake Geneva, Wis., late yesterday.
The group was capitalized at $187,000,000 and was later absorbed by the United States Steel Corporation.
The Moores were Chicago lawyers who early in the development of the great corporations got control of the Diamond Match Co. and proposed to control the match industry of the world. The Diamond Match corner, which failed,^ is famous in Chicago's financial history. It led to a panic and the closing of the stock exchange!
The Moores made a new fortune ^shortly afterward fn National Biscuit. They paid off debts of $4,000,000 and gained control of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, now in the hands of a receiver. Their combined wealth has been estimated at $100,000,000.
CENTENARY ARCHITECTS NAMED
Chicago Men to Draw Up Plans and Specifications Lowe and Brockenbaker, architects of Chicago, were named by the official board of the Centenary church at the meeting Tuesday evening, to take charge of the reconstruction of the church which was gutted by fire cbout two ^months ago.

they wanting to find out where we were from and all about us. Of course it is against orders to permit any passenger to ride in the cab and my request was at first refused. But when the traveling engineer heard about my trouble he arranged everything nicely and things came out my way. ^Phere was none of the excitement incident to motoring and ballooning noticeable here at first because .they were running under orders restricting them to 25 miles an hour. But perhaps 50 miles south of St. Louis they began to speed and the engineer pushed her up to 60 miles an hour. Then there was some interest. Common place conversation was dispensed with and only when the engineer wanted something done was anything said. Every suggestion of the engineer was met with promptly by the fireman and it was a beautiful example of team work. I thought several times we would aWbe thrown from the cab wheij we would hit a curve going 6Q or GO miles an\ hour but it "Was taken as a matter of' course by 'the trainmen. I held on with both hands at all times but they seemed to be as much at home as if walking on solid ground. The jolting was terrific and how they are able to stand 'it day after day I don't know. Four hours was enough for me. There is only on£ thing I have missed now as far as riding goes and that is a trip in an airship. I intend to get it some day.
LIEUTENANT COLLINS.
Illmo gains its name from a combination of the names of the two states. At this point tourist sleepers were furnished for lall troops. Many of the men are having perhaps their first experience in sleepers.
We were the third section of the train bearing the Second regiment to leave Indianapolis but at Illmo we overtook and passed the second section. At Texarkana, which lies partly in Texas and partly in Arkansas, we overtook and passed the first section, so that now at Hearn, Texas, 175 miles north of San Antonio we are the leading section of our regiment.
At the present time we are passing large field of cotton which is just starting to bloom. It will not be ready to pick for many weeks. Father back a grove of peanut, bushes was passed. These also ripen late in the fall* A mixed field of cane and sweet corn is now visible on our left. Sweet corn is ripe and the natives have been feasting on "rosen" ears for a month.
Off to our right a team of oxen is dragging a plow. We have not yet come to the endless prairie which we had all expected to see but we have seen numerous Mexican peons working on the roads for-50c per day. Maybe they earn that much, but certainly not more. Last night—Wednesday—we stopped at Marshall, Tex., for about two hours on account of a wreck just south of us. Mr. Carter, cashier of the Citizens /State Bank, met the officers of A, and companies on the street and invited us for a ride in his machine. It was a treat for us all. The people had put out dozens of big washtubs full of lemonade, ice tea and ice water for the troops. A battalion from New York had been there all day and nothing was too good for them. We learned afterward that Marshall furnished a company* of 75 to the Texas guard. They gave us a bushel of fresh ripe figs, which was certainly a treat as very few of us ever tasted a fresh fig before.
Ever since we hit Texas our reception has been glorious. People are certainly glad to see us on the job.
One little girl threw a package of chewing gum in the window. It had 3. piece of paper around it, on which was written. "Chew this and think of a Texas girl whose brother is a soldier." Lieut. Green, of the Seymour company, who was the recipient of the package, has been chewing gum ever since. He refuses to divide.

The battalion rode in day coaches as far as Illmo, which is a small town on about 130 miles south of St! Louis on the Illinois-Missouri state line.

stretched before us. We^saw single"rows two and perhaps three miles long. The fields, however, were interspersed in some places with small patches of corn, sugar cane and millet so the monotony was to some extent broken. 5 p. m., Thursday—We are now coming to the land.of cacti and mesquit. Ahead, (to the southeast) is an endless stretch of utter' waste land, with cacti and mesquit as far as the eye can .see. We are now pulling into the city of Austin, Tex., part of which nestles in the valleys and part of which occupies majestic positions on the foot hills. Most of the prominent buildings are of white brick and as the clouds shift and let the sunlight through, these buildings loom up as castles of silver. Austin is lighted by the aero system. Standards 3,300 feet high throw an incandescent light over the city and make it light as day. A few minutes and we are again on our way. 10:30 p. m., Friday—San Antonio— Red Cross society and Boy Scout organizations are doing.the honors. Ice tea, lemonade and hot coffee are being served in the depot yards. Sandwiches, jellies, fruits and ice cream. Then came cigars -and cigarettes and stamped post cards which we, address and sign and return to them for mailing They have been waiting for us since 6:00 p. m. They are treating us fine.

A heavy armed guard was placed at about 11:00 p. m., but there was no trouble, during the night.
Saturday, July 15.—Two battalions composing the first and third sections of the Second regiment detrained early this morning, messed and then made camp. By night most of the two battalions were in excellent shape and company especially having drawn an excellent camji site were in position to get a good rest from the long journey. Companies A from Vinoennes, from Crawfordsville and frofn Muncie also made good progress and were in good position to take up a long tour of duty, which we all expect is before us.
The second section of the Second regiment, Indiana infantry, which left Indianapolis before the section including Co. B, has not yet arrived at the camp site and official report as to their whereabouts. We had a report yesterday (Friday) and another again today saying they, had been wrecked and' that four men had been killed. We are hoping, however, that nothing serious has happened. The second section contains the Third battalion, Second regiment, Indiana infantry, under command of Major Miller, of Mt. Vernon. The battalion contains Company I from Tell City, under command of Capt. Cummins, Company from Mt. Vernon, under Capi. Weisinger, Company E from Kokomo, under command of Capt Martin, and Company from Princeton, under command of Capt.
It is no common sight to see shirts- -Mumford. our camp Grande, situated four miles west of and underclothes hung out of the windows of the car to dry in the sjjn. The first section caught us- at Sinton. The Second is still somewhere in the rear.
An entire reorganization of the regiment will be made when we reach Mercedes. Major Dreisbach the senior major will have charge of Companies A, B, and Major Miller charge of Companies E. F. and H, and Major Noble, the junior major who is now in charge of this battalion, will be in command of Companies I, K, and M. We expect to reach Mercedes sometime tonight.
Friday a. m.—South of San Antonio we ran into the sand hill country, where tens of thousands of tons of pure white sand lay piled in the middle of a field with no other sand visible for perhaps half or three quarters of a mile. Someone Said these hills move an average of 100 yards per year unless caught in a storm, when sometimes the entire hill disappears within an hour.
We ran into Mercedes about 8:00 p. m. Quite a bit of small arm firing was heard to the southwest and we
Our camp site is Llano
Mercedes, Texas. We are about thirty miles from the Gulf of Mexico, about 35 miles from Brownsville and eight miles from the Mexican border. An attempted crossing by Mexicans last night was met by a repulse by Texas infantry resulting in the death of two Mexicans. None of the Texas troops were wounded.
The members of Company send their regards to Terre Haute folks and express their thanks to them for their contributions to the funds for the comfort of the soldiers and their families. CAPTAIN GERHARDT MONNINGER.
