These offers were rejected because of lack of proper railway facilities. Asks Some Questions. "What population has Hastings?" asked Colonel Morsan, of the Hastings man, who offered 650 acres in behalf of Hastings. "About 1,000 population," came the reply. "Man." said the colonel, "do yon think we're going to put 35,000 troop in a town of 12,000 people?" ; The local committee took the of ficers to Klkhorn also to look over some ground, but this the officers pronounced entirely out of the ques tion on account of the lack of suf ficient railway facilities. The officers made it plan that they want railway facilities and plenty of them: that they want easy access to the city for entertainment and amuse ment for the soldiers during their leisure hours, and that 4hey must be where supplies are easy to get. They also made it plain that good water must be easily accessible, and that the lay of the ground must be such as may be easily kept in a sanitary con dition.

Reward for Train Bandit Divided Among Twenty-Two Cheyenne, Wyo., May 27. It was ' only because the Union Pacific rail road waived its strict legal rights that any of the claimants for the $6,500 re ward for the capture of William L. Carlisle, train bandit, were able to par ticipate in the reward at all. Judge Charles E. Winter, arbitrator, in handing down his decision recently i by which twenty-two of the 134 claim ants received portions of the money, declared every man, who claimed a share of the money was either an em ploye of the railroad or a member of a sheriff's posse and, therefor, could not legally share in the prize. The railroad insisted, however, that the money be divided. One man received $750, one $650, , two received $500 each, two $400 each, six $300 each, nine $150 each and three $50 each. Carlisle held op, single handed, three Union Pacific trains between February 9 and December 1, 1916. He exhibited considerable bravado in each case and extended marked chivalry to the women passengers, re fusing to take more than half their , jewelry. He talked constantly to the passengers as he went through their pockets. After the last holdup, posses scouted the hills in the vicinity of Wainsuttcr and alter several days a party found the bandit When surrounded he gave himself up. He now is serving a life sentence i nthe Wyoming penitcntiarv and spends his idle time making leather sofa pillows. Hamilton Defense Council. Aurora, Neb., May 27. (Special Telegram.)

JITIES STRICKEN BY TORNADOES: DIG IN - RUINSFOR DEAD (ContiDaed from Pago Ona The storm traveling from east tn west destroyed practically the entire northern half of Mattoon, leaving no buildinc standine in a swath several blocks in width. A lumber vard directlv in the nath of the storm contributed largely to the damage. Flying planks struck a number of pedestrians unable to find shelter and other planks were hurled for miles around the countryside, one being discovered sticking through the ine ot a tarmer s home. Bits of broken and twister! steel alco flew through the air, damaging build ings entirely out of the nath of the storm. A canning factory contributed to tne loss m a similar way. Rescue work was begun almost im mediately. Within an hour every church and public building standing was filled with injured, many of whom were unable to obtain adequate medical service. Efforts to estimate the casualties with any degree of accuracy were fu tile. Hundreds of persons reported that members of the families were missinsr. but it is believed that manv of these will be found tomorrow. A heavy hail storm, which followed the wind,, hampered the work of res cue, and late into the night persons were being dug from the ruins of wrecked buildings. City officials as serted that there is a possibility that the death list may be materially in creased. Carrying Out Dead.

Mattoon was in complete darkness except for the light of hundreds of lanterns carried by volunteer rescue workers, and not until daylight can the full extent of the damage be known. The funnel-shaned cloud came swirling its way toward the city and before persons on the streets could seek safety a district on the northern side of the city two miles long and about four blocks wide had been devastated, almost every building in the path of the storm being in ruins. The property damage, it was estimat ed tonight, will exceed one half mil lion dollars. Hundreds ,of families are homeless. Factory Hard Hit. The T. W. Clark Manufacturing company, in whose plant UK) men were at work at the time of the tor-1 nado, suffered the heaviest property damage, the loss being estimated at $200,0t)0. That none of the workmen were killed was one of the freaks of the storm. Pending the arrival of National Guardsmen from Effingham, fdr pa trol duty, 100 citizens were sworn in as special policemen. Reports from the surrounding sec ion indicated that the storm, passing over the city from west to east, did heavy property damage and caused loss ot lite tor a distance ot thirty miles in each direction from here. Business Houses Escape. Most of the business c-uarters of Mattoon escaped the fury of the tor nado. The path of the wind was through the residential part of the city. Houses were wracked out of shape, toppled over or smashed flat in most cases. In a few instances smaller buildings were carried some distances from their foundations. National Guardsmen from Effing ham arrived tonight and took charge of guarding the wrecked property and caring for the homeless not othcr- ise provided for. Thirty-Three Dead at Charleston. Decatur.

"We will be handicapped somewhat, but will continue making flour. I be lieve that we will be able to use some of the wheat in the concrete bins we recently erected, but it probably will be pretty well baked." Police Protect Potatoes. With potatoes selling for more than $3 a bushel, police took no chances in letting people tramp over a large potato patch just west of the fire. A squad of coppers guards the patch and would not even permit the owner, Frank Jacevek to tresspass. The hills which form a natural amphitheater about the elevator, were thronged with people. It was esti mated that more than 40,000 witnessed the fire, filling the viaducts and vacant lots. Charles Robinson, in an automobile with two women, had a narrow escape, when his machince skidded and slid 250 feet down a hill and into a yard. The car was brought to a halt only when bumped into a house.4 None of the occupants was hurt. Several pulled Mr. Kqbinson's machine out. Carry Out Furniture. Mrs. Orcott and her mother, Mrs. Dixon, who lives with her at 2999 South Twenty-eighth avenue, carried all their furniture and belongings in to the street, when their roof took fire from sparks which sailed five to six blocks through the air. They live three blocks southwest of the Maney Mills. Firemen played hose on their roof, and smashed out their windows in the haste to get the goods out. Mattresses and books which had been carried out, took fire in the street from sparks which alighted on them. Frank Metzcl, 3003 South Twenty eighth avenue, also carried his organ and several articles of furniture out in the street, when the roof took fire, but the firemen succeeded in quench ing the blaze. Try to Save Residences. Pete Sclvitsky, 3011 South Twenty eighth avenue, gathered his belong ings together and moved some of them out, when the sparks began to alight and smoulder on the roof. The same was true of the houses south on Twenty-eighth street for a distance of five blocks from the burning mill. Firemen kept hose playing on the roofs of these houses for five and six blocks from the location of the main blaze. All around the houses at this dis tance, great sheets of tin, half as large as barn doors kept darting through the air, alighting in the streets, and cutting into the roofs of houses. "It's dam funny the watchmen and Guards can't discover a fire like that," said Frank Metzel, 3003 South Twenty-eighth street, alter he had move,d some of his furniture out, and while the firemen were extinguishing some sparks on his own roof. "Here they have been guarding that mill for weeks. They have watchmen and Guardsmen around it day and night, a fellow can't get within four blocks of it. Yet we had to run over and tell them the thing was on fire. We saw it as soon as it started in the top." Terfeet "Stan ftpeelflcatlone. There la auch a thing after all the Ideal man.

Each is armed with three cighteen inch torpedo tubes and five three-inch rapid fire guns. These are not the largest of the fleet, hut they are of the fastest. Of Use in Battle. The British especially welcome the American destroyer reinforcement, be cause that class of 'war-craft has proved of great use not only in block ade service, but in battle action. They were .great mischief makers on both sides in the battle last vear off I inland between the German high fleet and the British grand fleet. The German de stroyers, numbering' fifteen, skillfully screened the surviving vessels of the main fleet in their (light for their home base. They were opposed by nine British destroyers. Jn the main fleet the British had the edge of weight of metal on the Germans, but the latter were superior in numbers and in speed of maneuvering with their destroyers. Historic Destroyer Fight. The sea fight in this war in which the British take most pride was that off Dover, which occured shortly after midnight ot April d). Keports ot the tight which came through press cable grams. were too meager to give a fair idea of the encounter. British naval service periodicals which have just come to hand give full accounts of the attair. It was bloody, desperate and thrilling, with unquestionable grit proved on both sides, but with the British as undoubtedly to the good. for they won a victory in a battle of destroyers that will take its place along side such valiant sea grips as that during the revolution between the Bon Homme Richard. Captain Paul Jones, and the Serapis, Captain fearson. The night of the battle off Dover was cloudy and intensely dark. A fleet of six German destroyers slipped through the black night to bombard the city of Dover, enough to do as much damage as possible in a little while, and then get away. Before they had turned homeward two British de stroyers, the Swift and the Broke, were right at them. The Germans discovered the enemy craft at 600 yards and promptly opened fire. The Swift leading, the two Britons made tor their toes. The Swift, at the order of Lieu tenant Commander Peck, with the men blinded by the flash of opposing guns, swung round and drove ahead to ram the first boat ot the Uernian line. It was a miss, but the Briton quickly turned and pursued the Ger man who was trying to elude the ram ming. Uerman Ship Torpedoed. In the meantime, the Broke, Lieu tenant Commander Evans, which was hard at the heels of the Switt, tor pedoed the second enemy boat and rammed the third. In this maneuver the vessels came at grips and desperate fight ensued. Two others were all the while raking the Broke with their fire. Locked together the Broke and the German that had been ra: .med fought a hand-to-hand fiinish light. ihe lierman crew boardeu tne Broke which had lost heavilv. but six of the gun crew of eighteen" being able to stand.

The Swift had not been- able to catch the speedier German fugitive and was returning to. aid its comrade when the rest of the German destroy ers fled. Two of the German destroy ers were sunk and another badly dis abled. The British last twenty-two dead and twice as many wounded. The Germans suffered much more heavily. The British took home twenty-eight of their dead enemies and had to leave others dead whose bodies could not be recovered. They carried -into Dover 118 prisoners, including tin of ficers. For a time the Germans had made the bravest kind of fight,- but they seemed to have been dazed by the audacity of the British and were out maneuvered, although they had the swifter boats. The British were slightly superior in weight of metal. The ramming tactics were a complete surprise. The American destroyers now with the British are even faster than the Germans who fought at Dover and have already made so favorable an impression i nevery way that no doubt is felt they would render a handsome account of themselves in any clash with the Teutons. quits.

Leavens used the Gettys burg address of Lincoln as the text of a patriotic Memorial day sermon at the Unitarian church yesterday morning. "On this Memorial day a world war holds our attention," said the minis ter. "In the past we have been prone to allow the thin blue line of veter ans to meet and remember almost alone holidays rather than davs hal- loweti and holy not because we failed to appreciate, but because as a na tion we are a little too old to cling to and rely upon those who gave and protected liberty and a little too young to fully understand and ex press our deep debt of gratitude. "We have fought to establish and perpetuate liberty and union a gov ernment 'of the people, by tjie peo ple, and for the people,' and we fight nova, that such government may not perish from the earth. Rising above and beyond a mere provincial nation alism, we have cast down the gaunt let in the great cause of humanity. We have assurance of success in the quiet, sober, determined manner in which we arc going about the busi ness of war, in the charity felt for all, including the enemy, in the ab sence ot artificial blare and blaze, in the efficiency and justice of conscrip tion, in our citizen soldiery led by men pacifists in principle, and in the righteousness of our cause. "Let not our slogan be 'America Firstl' in the sense of "Deutschland Ueber AllesP Let it rather be, "Amer ica tn the right and, where wrong, to put it right.'" Unitarian Sunday services at Tur pin's hall closed yesterday for the summer; Hereafter there will be open air meetings in the parks and woods. It is expected that there will be sev eral summer services in the Bird Re serve at Child's Point. Headquar ters at Twenty-fourth and Farnam streets will be open all summer, and the Unitarian club and Woman's Al liance will continue tehir activities.

On Sunday afternoon the union directed its executive officers to invest $1,000 of the union's funds in Liberty bonds. The application will be made accord ingly.
