CHALONS. France, Dec. 6 (Mail to New York) "When we have taken you out before we have shown you trenches," said a French officer. "This time we are going to show you a field of victory lines of trenches which we took from the Germans." Not all the spoil had yet been removed from that section fifteen miles long and from one to five In breadth, where on September 25 and 26 the French had broken back the siege line of the Germans with the concentration of infantry and the expenditure of a million shells. As we approached the field what looked like a man of war turret on wheels was being drawn along the road. The cupola of riveted armor was dented by shell fragments. It had an opening for the swing of a small gun and a door for the exit and entrance of the crew which could be fastened

by a bolt and a heavy chain. I "Three men were found Inside hooked In " said an officer. "The tur

ret was set in the parapet of a trench

at an important point of the line. All

the German, soldiers in the neighborhood had either been killed or burled

alive We had to break the- lock to

take . the crew out All three were alive, but stunned. They had gone on firing their gun as long as they could."

Freely the correspondent movea Be

tween the old first line French and

German trenches, which for many months has been a zone of death for whoever showed himself. In front of the first line trench the Germans had

barbed wire entanglements five or six

feet broad. A rabbit could not have

gone through without being caught.

ELKS' MEMORIAL

ATTRACTS MANY

Tha( the enlightened philosophy on death does not regard the departure of the soul as one of the depressing realities of life, but views -this event merely as a departure Into a more sublime life, was the eloquently expressed theme of the memorial addres delivered Sunday afternoon by the Rev. J. J. Rae, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, at the annual Elke lodge memorial services. It is the duty of each man to generate in his life time the greatest influence for good ,which done one enters after death the greatest life rendering death devoid of its sting. The memorial services were largely attended by members of the lodge and their families and all were charmed with the wholesome sentiments expressed by Dr. Rae and by H. L. Monarch, a member of the lodge who delivered the eulogy on these brothers who have answered Death's call. Music was rendered by an -'orchestra composed., of Frederick Hicks,, violinist, Royden Park, flute, and Miss Helen Hadley, pianist.' Mrs."F.-J." Bar tel Was the soloist. '

What did the Kaiser say ' That's what official Washington would like to know. Albert J. Beverldge, schooled in statecraft, through years of membership on the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate, talked wth Emperor WiDielm II. for two hors. But not a single word of what was said is known. American tat department officials would like to know what the Kaiser said. lie most have said much that might jpide Secretary Lansing. The Indiana statesman, confidant of American diplomats and presidents, interviewed other leaders In the great conflict whose word has often meant war. or peace. These Important interviews he has just Sublished in a hook he calls "What Is lack of the War." (Bobbs-Merrfll, Indianapolis.) The book, now in the American state department n rehires, is. in the opinion of men in Washing ton whose nnmes it would not do to use, the most notable "inside-infor-anation" document issued since the war be ran. The former Senator Interviewed not only powerful German statesmen, but their war leaders. Von i Tirpttx, the man responsible for the

Lusitania with its cargo of American souls to the bottom of the Irish Sea, confided to the American statesr-) his ideas of fighting. Von HindtV burg, conqueror on the eastern war front, took time between attacks to unbosom himself through Senator Beveridge to America. Then Beveridge went to France. There he interviewed Gabriel Hanotaux, publicist, General Franchet d'Esperey and other great generals whose shells had been falling into the very German trenches Beveridge hi.d so lately left. Then' over to Great Britain where Viscount Bryce, Lord Newton, . Charles Trevelyan, Bernard Shawt Sir Gilbert Parker and others recited the real reasons why England went to war. Senator Beveridge also tells, with graphic description, of how he and his party were "specially shelled," how men were blown to nieces be-

aubmsra warfare that Mot the foro his yeryjeyes and of the calm

demeanor and of the fatalistic attitude of men who knew they would be "the next." He tells of how the fighting men are no more concerned than ' if they were at ordinary day labor, how soldiers and officers, after a few days, "think no more of taking part in an artille- duel or trench fight than of plowing, bookkeeping or blacksmi thing." But .-the feature of the book attracting attention in Washington is the intimate inside views and thoughts of the men who are making the war even the men who would make war on us, if the United States should become entangled. Senator Beveridge has recorded faithfully all that was said to him by these men. He declares that we do not appreciate the economic revolution going on in the countries at war. .

1538 A New end Practical SkbtMsdeL

CHICAGO, Dec. 6. The Board of Trade of the City of Chicago in its fight against "bucket shops" in the past twenty years has spent $5,000,000 and forced over 1,000 of these to go out of business. The Board of Trade has been joined by the New York Exchange the two organizations having secured injunctions against "bucket shops" concerns in all parts of the United States; have prevented "them from receiving the quotations of either the Chicago or New York exchanges; and also have Induced the Western Union Telegraph Company the Postal Telegraph Company and the American Telephone and .Tiegr&ph Company to refuse to lease any wires for the use of bucket shops. Within the last three weeks two large ''bucket shopping concerns; with

a string of 193 offices in the East, Central West and South, have been forced into bankruptcy. Laws have been passed in a majority of the States in the Union prohibltthe operation of "bucket shops." This is a sumary of what has been accomplished in the nation-wide fight against bucket shops, according to one of the officials of the Chicago Board of Tra'le. A "bucket shop," according to thi3 official, is a place where the firm is always one party to the trade. This, the Chicago Board and and other exchanges content, is contrary to the principles of trade, as the trades are not made in the open market, they do not help to create a market for the country, and are merely bets on the way the markets will go. 1
