This means a large at tendance at the meeting, he believes, and the perfection of a strong or ganization. Explains Need For Btfiy. There is a great need for a cen tral body to aid in the development of better types of draft animals, he believes. The horse association is supplying that service in other lo calities, Mr. Peters pointed out. In dications are that no substitute for certain kinds of work now done by animals, will ever be evolved, men familiar with the situation say. Horse and mule production is just emerging from the disturbances of the war, and the time is felt to be right for careful, concentrated breed ing of animals suited for special work. The purpose of the Horse as sociation is to further the advance ment of light delivery, carriage and saddle horses as well as the heavier draft breeds. Entertainments Arranged.

New York, April 28 The bodies of 353 American soldiers who gave their lives for the cause of freedom and humanity on foreign soil, and of whom all but 80 died in France, ar rived here today on the army trans port Mercury from Antwerp and Southampton. Their arrival marked the first re turn of soldier dead from France. The bodies of four officers were aboard, As soon as the living passengers left the Mercury the bodies were re moved from the .hold and the qaskets, shrouded under the cover of new American flags, were arranged in company formation on the pier, where, but, a comparatively short time ago stood living, energetic, young Americans anxious to board the transports which carried them to the foreign shores where they made the supreme sacrifice. s Under a soldier guard df honor the caskets were prepared for shipment home by rail. Each body will be ac companied by a uniformed guard of honor who will remain with his charge until the casket is knvered in to the final resting place. At the piers there was no cere mony, no display or ostentation save colors at half mast and the bare walls of the temporary pier morgue hidden with the flags for which the men lived and died. French Troops Ambushed By Turks at Urfa Retreat Paris, April 28. Official accounts of the French retreat from Urfa, Asia Minor, confirm the reports that the retreating column was ambush ed, although the French had an agreement with the Turks which they believed would ensure a safe retirement: The French left Urfa only when food and water were jacking, after a sustained siege of two months. The French losses in the siege arc said to have been small, while the admitted Turkish casualties totaled 500. Millerand Says Troops to Leave Frankfort Very Soon Paris, April 28.

CHICAGO BANKS PREPARING FOR READJUSTMENT Shut Off All Real Estate-arid Building Loans Adopt Cautious Policy. Chicago Tribune-Omaha nee Leaned Wire. Chicago, April 28. Fortifying themselves against the readjustment that must soon come, banks of Chi cago have shut off all real estate and building loans. With money "tight" and real estate values swol len far out of their normal dimen sions, the bankers believe it is time to move with caution. . Furthermore, they see, very ncarJ uie point wnere various enterprises, hemmed between heavy federal and other taxes on one side and con stantly increasing labor demands and reduced production on the other, will be forced to cense operations .until affairs settle down. Already many factories have drawn their fires, giving as a reason inability to secure materials, due to the railroad strike. Action by Chicago banks in re fusing loans for building purposes may shut off great construction plans here. It is freely predicted that building operations will be at a standstill here before many weeks. This means thousands of artisans out of work. It is known the union carpenters, recently granted $1.25 an hour, intended to force this up to $1.50 an hour 'early in the building season. Bankers say money is "tight" be cause of undigested war loans, credit inflation and the railroad situation. The banks are" bulging with savings deposits, but commercial deposits have materially decreased. The switchmen's strike has driven many business houses to the ragged edge. Much of their capital is tied up in shipments. All the coal in South Africa, with the exception of some unimportant lignite beds in Cape Colony, is con tained -in rocks of the Karroo system.
