Well, that not only has been done, but the sides have been pinched so effl ripntlv that the Junction was ef- a total bag of prisoners that when all fected in less than thirty hours, with are rounded up, will exceed even 13,000. "The fact is that the boches were taken completely by surprise. They expected the attack, but didn't ex pect it so soon. And what's more, they never expected that it would be delivered with such dash and vigor. I cannots say too much of the conduct of the American troops. They were magnificent. make a vigorous search for John R.

The only clue that the Washing ton police have to work on is one furnished by a young woman em- tloved in a drug store in the east and of the Union Station. When ttfctectives posted circulars bearing his description in the railroad ter minal Monday, she told them that a man of Early's description purchas ed some salve from her Monday Morning about 6 o'clock. She claim ed (hat the man acted nervously, flieh attracted her attention. Tfc nan, she said paid for the salve out of a $5 bill. "Several hours later the police were informed by a guard at the station that a man resembling Early was seen to pass through the train gates."

Explaining the reasons for asking the exemptions Mr. McAdoo de clared "ther is no surplus whatever of employes for running the rail roads and there is no surplus of la bor from which new employes can be drawn to replace those who may be taken for the military service." "We are all striving for the same end," continued Mr. McAdoo, "and that Is to wi nthe war. To the ex tent that railroad men can be spared from railroad service for military service we ought to spare them. But to the extent that they are needed for railroad service the dis trict boards should not attempt to take them for military service."

Washington, Sept. 17. A delega tion of Southern Senators and Rep resentatives protested to President Wilson today against the govern ment fixing prices for raw cotton. At the conclusion of the conference Senator Underwood of Alabama, speaking for the delegation, said If any statement was issued it would come from the President.

In the meantime a separate committeeof three will be named to buy cotton for the United States and Allied governments at a price to be approved b ythe President. Inasmuch as a great part of the crop is used for war purposes, Sen ators and Representatives from the cotongrowlng states complain that the effect will be to fix the price. SWISS NEUTRALITY WORRIES GERMANS New York, Sept. 18. One of the regular occupations of the German pres consist in worrying about pos sible violations of Swiss neutrality by the United States or the Allies. For example, Die Post of Berlin printed the following Berne dispatch on July 29. "St. Gall newspapers announce that of late the American consulate in St. Gall is providing the war re ports bulletined by that office witb headings, one of which reads: 'The Il.ins Are Retiring Over the Marne.' Letters to the newspapers protest against such an unneutral proceed ing and point out that up till now all the official foreign representa tives in St. Gall have preserved strict neutrality in connection with pub licity in Switzerland. The St. Gall papers report that an investigation regarding violation of Swiss neu tarility has been begun." The recent return to Switzerland for a brief period of Dr. Hans Sulzer, the Swiss Minister at Washington, caused the Muncbener Post ot July 31 to print a report from Berne telling of the circulation in the Al pine Republic of rumors to the ef fect that President Wilson had asked Minister Sulzer to mnke a trip to Germany, either for the purpose of offering peace undor certai.i condi tions or to make confidential in quiries regarding the detailed peace conditions of th eCentral Powers It quoted the Geneva Feuille as say ing that Minister Sulzer was stsp ported in this mi33;cn by the tfwlrs Federal Council.
