Notice To Travelling Public!
THE BRICK CONSTRUCTION ON TRENT ROAD IS
NOT OPEN TO TRAVEL
, An article appeared in print recently wherein it was
stated that the brick road was open to traffic. This arti
cle was erroneous, but in consequence of it many vehicles "
went through barricades and entered upon the road and
greatly damaged it. The constructors were compelled to
rebuild it for quite a distance. The County Commission
era 1iave caused to be served several notices warning
those who may enter upon the brick work that indict
ments will be made for the protection of the work, and
ALL WHO GO UPON THE BRICK PAVING WILL BE
INDICTED AND PUNISHED TO THE PULL EXTENT
OF THE LAW. It is hoped that the people of the county
will refrain from doing injury to this work, which is for
their benefit when completed.
YORK BRDDELL, Engineer.
TWO u. & sjuums
DEFEAT 4fl WAITERS
Failure to Serve Drinks Ordered
in New York Restaurant
Started Trouble.
(Br InteriMttaul News Service.)
NEW YORK, May 25. One of the
earliest victories of the war is re
ported from Rector's Restaurant,
where two able-bodied seamen of the
United States navy and a civilian aid
won a decided success against the
famous "flying wedge" of forty wait
ers, led by various head waiters and
managers.
The enemy's casualties are heavy.
Our loss was nill.
Failure to serve drinks ordered for
the two sailors started the action.
Several hundred non-combatant diners
fled from the main dining" room and
a hundred and fifty dancing couples
ran from the gilded ballroom, while
the orchestra faded away without
taking part in the hostilities.
Albert Brinkhouse and Charles J.
Neal, innocent appearing .but husky
lads of nineteen and twenty years,
were on shore leave from the Des
Moines and struck up an acquaint
ance with Arthur H. Gormley,.a sales
man "from their old home town,"
Boston.
Mr. Gormley appointed himself n
committee of one to see that "any
boys who are good enough to fight
for the U. S. A. are good enough to
have a gbod time along Broadway."
The merry little party of two sea
men and one landsman reached sec
tor's when the dancing was liveliest
and the place most crowded. As'they
entered Mr. Gormley asked that a
table be provided for his two friends.
George Rector saw them and is said
to have directed Albert Dasberg, man
ager of the dining room, not to serve
them.
Mr. Gormley resented that treat
ment and was protesting when the
seamen saw the "flying wedge" form
ing. Mr. Dasberg went down with a
bruised and gushing nose.
Scores of women diners who had
seen the encounter jumped from their
seats and screamed. While the ex
odus from the room was in progress
the forty waiters formed a wedge and
started for the unwelcome callers.
But these seamen were feeling fit,
and one after another the waiters
went down.
While Neal was whipping the wait
ers Brinkhouse mounted the golden
stairs to the ballroom and was met
by Poseph Nolan, the manager there.
Another fight started and later Mr. j
Nolan exhibited a crumpled nose and I
a discolored eye.
Alfred George, captain of the bell j
boys, was knocked down several j
times, and half a dozen waiters told I
of similar experiences. The seamen
had control of the establishment when j
the police reserves arrived and ar- j
rested the two seamen and their es- j
cort. ' Later the three were fined $o
each. They paid, and said it was
worth it.

PETROGRAD, May 25. The whole
of the civil population in the con
quered part of Roumania between the
ages of eighteen and forty-two has
been put to work for Germany, says a
dispatch from Jassy, the temporary
seat of the Roumanian Government
The dispatch follows:
"A Roumanian officer left behind in
Wallachia succeeded in passing
through the German lines, and has
brought with him interesting infor
mation. The whole of the civil popu
lation between eighteen and forty
two is,' he says, compelled to work
for the enemy. The Germans requisi
tion everything, leaving the popula
tion hardly enough to eat. The Jew
ish poulation are very pro-German . I
and are used by the enemy as agents
in their relations with the civil popu-ll
lation. Nothing but military trains
are running between the Central Em
pires and the occupied country.
"While passing through Wallachia
this officer was discovered by a Ger
man officer, whom he shot, and on
whom he found letters, dated Ludwig
shafen, complaining bitterly of the
shortage of food in spite of the, oc
cupation of a portion of Roumania,
and of the fact that all unmarried
women from eighteen upwards were
soon to be called into the railway
service."

SEA WOLVES WHO KILL
BUT DO NOT FIGHT ARE
DR. VAN DYKE'S THEME
Dr. Henry Van Dyke, former Am
erican Minister to the Netherlands,
who arrived at New York Tuesday,
whole the poem printed below on
his voyage across the Atlantic.
HOMEWARD BOUND
By Henry Van Dyke
Home, for my heart still calls me;
Home through the danger zone;
Home, whatever befalls me,
I will sail again to my own.
Wolves of the sea are hiding
Closely along the way,
Under the water hiding
Their moment to rend and slay.
Black is the eagle that brands them,
Black are their, hearts as the night,
Black is the hate that sends them
To murder, but not to fight.
Flower of the German Kulture,
Boast of the Kaiser's marine,
Choose for your emblem the vulture,
Cowardly, cruel, obscene.
Forth from her sheltered haven,
One peaceful ship glides slow,
Noiseless in flight as a raven,
Gray as a hoodie crow.
She doubles and turns -in her bearing
Like a twisting plover she goes;
The way of her westward firing, ;
Only the captain knows
In a lonely bay concealing
She lingers for days.i and ships ,
At dusk from her covert, stealing
Through, channels ' feared by the
ships.
Brave are the men and steady,
Who guide her over the deep.
British mariners ready
.To face the sea wolf's leap.
1
Lord of the wind and waters ,
Bring our ship to her mark.
Safe from the game of hide-and-seek
With murderers in the dark.
