The new spapers of the country have given m uch space to the great C entenary Movement of the M etho­dist Episcopal church. The plans, leadership and organization of the movement have been pronounced by leading business men of the country' as unsurpassed by any great co rpora­tion in the business w orld , and the m agnitude of the m ovem ent is un ­equaled in the h is to ry of the Chris- tion church. It is characteristic of the n ew sp irit of co-operation am ong denom inations th a t the v irtue and significance of the m ovem ent are everyw here recognized and th a t a l­ready all P ro testan t churches of N orth Am erica are un iting in an “In ter-C hurch W orld Movement” w hich w ill be organized on the lines of the M ethodist Centenary.

The “C entenary” sta rted out to be a “celebration” of the founding of M ethodist m issionary endeavor, bu t the needs of the w orld w ere so ap­p aren t and so desperate th a t it w as quickly recognized th a t a m ere “cele­b ra tio n ” w as inadequate. So a “cam paign’̂ for the enlargem ent of M ethodist m issionary w ork was planned. E labora te and m inute surveys of the religious needs of all continents w ere p repared . These w ere supplem ented by exhaustive surveys of religious and social needs of our own country , including the problem s of dem obilization, indus­try, im m igration, “the fro n tie r,” the Am erican Indian , etc. W ith the tab­ulation of the survey statistics the re came the sense of the d ivine ch a l­lenge of these conditions. The su r­vey's w ere published, show ing the educational, m edicinal, social and religious obligations resting upon M ethodists in th e ir p a rticu la r fields if dem ocracy w as to be m ade safe fo r the w orld. T he program called fo r the expenditure of $85,00.0,000 in th e nex t five years, and the en­listing of 53,000 people in a definite C hristian service.

T his u n heard of program is going to be carried out to success, in spite of its m agnitude, because of the p rayerfu l strategy of the leaders of the church, and the quick responsive­ness of the people generally. The organization and plans of the move­m ent are too elaborate to set down here, but som ething of th e ir charac ter m ay be know n by the ap­plication of those p lans to our local M ethodist church.

The directing agency of the local m ovem ent is the C entenary Council, of w hich P aul C. T aylor is ch a ir­m an and Charles S. GotT secretary . F ive m en com prise th is council.

4 s a campaign aid to the big W ar Savings Stam p drive lau-iv-hcd on Jan. 11— Benjam in F ranklin 's b irthday—Gov. Edge of New Jersey yesterday issued a proclamation giving executive approval to the appeal being made for S ta te .w ide stam p purchase. The Governor calls a ttention to the partic­ular reasons fo r patriotic support of the Federal G overnment during the stam p drive and urges a whole-hearted response w ith in the borders o] New Jersey. The following is the tex t of the proclamation ;

STATE OF NEW JER SEY — EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

W HEREAS, The Federal Government has deemed it necessary to offer a new issue of W ar Savings Stam ps to be applied toward the meeting of the trem endous obligations entailed by the g rea t w ar overseas, and

W HEREAS, There rem ains to be carried on the mighty task of transporting hundreds of thousands of American soldiers from France to th e ir homes and fam ilies in the United S tates, and also the supporting and upkeeping of the 1,250,000 fighting men of our arm y now stationed In Germany as firm and fa s t holders of the ac­cessories of victory so nobly won by them , and

W HEREAS, The outlays necessary to the proper rearrangem ent of social conditions and the economic read justm ent of national af­fa irs generally, will undoubtedly foot up to large sums and require patrio tic purchase and ungrudging aid of heart, hand and brain on the p art of all good A mericans;

TH ER EFO R E, I, WALTER E. EDGE, Governor of the S tate of New Jersey, appeal to all citizens and residents of the Common­w ealth of New Jersey to assist the governm ent in the sale of th is new issue of W ar Savings Stam ps to th e ir very utm ost. The stam ps bear the p o rtra it of th a t g reat sage and illustrious American, Ben­jam in Franklin , and the issue has been appropriately term ed the Franklin Issue because of the happy association of the th r if t prin­ciple w ith the life and teachings of th is fam ous apostle of th e 'd o c ­tr in e of sensible spending.

And in rem embrance of the 213th birthday of the patrio tic Franklin , only recently celebrated, and as a stim ulus to save, saving based on his world-known precepts, I call upon all good Americans within our borders to purchase th is stam p issue to the utm ost of th e ir financial ability and also to aid in the sale of the Issue to the full limit of th e ir powers.

GIVEN under my hand and the Great Seal of the S tate of New Jersey, this tw enty-fourth day of January , one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, and in the In­dependence of the United S tates the one hundred and forty-third.

U pw ards of 20,- 000,000 A m ericans who never before had owned a bond have seen the value o f in v es tm en t M ost if not a ll of these, from th e dollar-a-week subscriber to th e m illionaire, have given up some form of extravagance, from sweets, le t us say, to yachts.

Subscription to the Victory Loan, by adding to th a t m an’s investm ent, will fu r th e r increase his power and bring to him in increasing m easure th e re ­spec t of the community.

Though Victory’s Swift, Still Practice Thrift

By EARL BALDWIN THOMAS.Of all the habits I have learned

since w ar's red g lare lit E urope’s shore, th is—th a t the dollar I have earned, if squeezed, will yield four pennies more— lias helped me most along my life, when beef and bread came overhigh—it’s helped me and it's helped my wife, w hen we had food, and clothes to buy. Now, some apostles o f surcease who see the smoke of b a ttle clear, a re shouting “Whoop ’e r tip, it’s p eace!” and flinging money fa r and near. Fo r such joy hounds I have no smile, when money m eans so much to all, when “Over T here" fo r mile on mile our Yanks still answ er P e r­shing’s c a l l ; while we have w ar debts yet to pay, and m aimed and wounded boys to tend—yet some boobs still play holiday as though our job W'as a t an end. I f such there be, go, m ark him well, and ask him if lie’s tu rned Ills lam ps tow ard w here a thousand signs all tell, “Oh, yes, we sell W ar Savings S tam p s!” T his nation’s learned a heap of things, and more than one w hich gives uplift—and best of all, fo r gaining wings, we'll find was w hat we learned of T H R IF T !

S ee It Through !By EARL BALDWIN THOMAS.

W hat though the guns begin to rust, The fire of w ar is ash—W hat m atters if the vineyard land Forgets the pounding crash?We cannot say we saw it through Until the last bill’s paid,Until the road of peaceful gain Is stanchly, firmly laid.

T h e V ic to r y L ib e r ty L o a n .

Now guns of w ar are rusting, No m ore th e legions sm ash,

The weed springs in the dugout, The battle fire Is ash.

So h a ts off to the doughboy, And b a ts off to the gob,

T he V ictory Loan is coming, L et’s finish up the job !

j We cannot glorify our arms, j The deeds of heroes there,I Until we’ve nursed them back to health I And paid the homeward fare.

We loaned our dollars while they bled, ; Now Victory Bonds let's buy

To guaran tee the things fo r which Our brothers w ent to die!

ANOTHER RECORD SMASHED.

Since the arm istice w as signed, all of us have been looking forw ard eager­ly to the tim e w hen le tte rs would a r­rive from overseas. Accounts of the celebrations in P aris have reached us, and we a re curious to know the a tt i­tude of the enlisted men them selves. The 413th Telegraph B attalion, Signal Corps, it seems, is still “going ahead w ith the job ,” and continuing to do construction work. The following let­ter, which appeared in The Telephone Review, N. Y., w ritten on November 13, two days a f te r the signing of the arm istice, by M ajor F. P. Rogers, for­m erly employed in the New York Tel, Co., Is in teresting on this account, and also because it contains a record of ex­cellent w ork done by Company E, his battalion , In an ex traord inarily short period of tim e :

November 13, 1918. My D ear Mr. R ichardson :

I w as very glad to receive your le t­ter. Since it came the H uns have cried "Enough,” and it looks ns if the fight­ing is ail over. The F rench a re ju s t about w ild w ith joy and We a re some pleased, too.

E xpect it will take some tim e to se t­tle the peace term s and then i t will take a long tim e to send us home. T hus fa r we have received no orders to stop our construction w ork and we are going ahead w ith the job.

The B attalion which I brought over was a D epot B attalion and like the oth­er D epot B atta lions was broken up and used to fill up vacancies all over the A. E. F. I w as ordered to command the 413th, which w as organized as a R ailroad Telegraph B attalion . I t was made up of tra in d ispatchers and oper­ators.

When I reported, there w as only one telephone man among the officers and not a sw itchboard man or inside man in the battalion ,—only about fifteen linemen in the outfit. Many of the op­era to rs learned to climb and the res t learned to dig post holes.

Several new officers and a few line­men w ere assigned to the battalion, and we have done a lot o f construction work. We are building an eight-m eter pole line w ith one ten-pin arm and live No. 12 copper circuits. About 95 holes out of 100 a re in rock. I enclose a copy of work report from our Company E, which covers a rush job. We have been told th a t 136 poles In one day breaks the record over here, so we are pleased. We still have a few odd jobs to do, such as 10,000 fee t of cable to hand and trench, about 1,000 poles to set and about 300 m iles of copper to run.

I have gained considerable valuable construction experience as the whole job is “up to me.” We have about 175 men in the battalion here and also have th ree detachm ents of about tw enty men each working on o ther jobs.

I made an inspection tr ip of about 000 miles some tim e ago in o rder to cover these detachm ents. I have a Dodge fo r my own use. We have tw enty-six motorcycles, tw enty-three trucks, four tra ilers, and a Ford c a r : also have ano ther Dodge inspection car, but th a t is lRirt up fo r repairs and we do not expect to see it again until | next year.

The boy is coming into his own. E very hum an boy alw ays knew deep w ith in his h ea rt th a t he w as th e n a t­u ra l keeper eof th e peace, the very presen t help in tim e of trouble, bu t the difficulty lay In convincing h is eld­ers.

The boy scout m ovem ent w as his first g rea t opportunity fo r dem onstra­tion, and he seized it. U nder its be­neficent rays h is n a tu ra l Inclination and operations emerged from the black shadow of pa te rna l disapproval o r lack of In terest and assum ed their deserved place.

Swimming, w oodcraft and cam ping becam e dignified professions, in the pu rsu it o f which the boy him self w as m ade strong and thereby fitted to de­fend the weak.

H is value as a p a r t of civic life next becam e apparent, and he d istrib ­uted im portant lite ra tu re , helped care fo r the crowds a t parades and public meetings, learned to observe city law s and traffic regulations and to encour­age th e ir observance in others.

H aving borne him self w orthily in all these m atters, behold his ju s t re­w ard ! No m ore did the boy need to ask fearfu lly if he m ight go nutting. H is country called him, he m ust go.

SCOUT’S BRAVERY TESTED.

W hat-his medal fo r w ar w ork m eans to a boy scout is illu stra ted by i:his little story. R obert Goodwin, a scout in Des Moines, la ., w as lying in the hospital very ill from typhoid when Scout Executive Gendall received the boy’s Ace Medal fo r selling W ar Sav­ings stam ps fo r the governm ent.

Ill as the scout w as It w as decided th a t he should receive his medal, and it was taken to him in th e hospital. H e w anted It pinned on th e pocket of his nightgown.

Shortly a f te r th a t it w as discovered th a t he also had appendicitis and he was prepared fo r an operation. As he was placed upon th e wheeled table to be carried into the operating room his m other asked him if he w as afraid. “No,” he said, “one of the tw elve points of the scout law is th a t a scout is brave.”

Scout Goodwin’s m other says th a t she is convinced th a t if the scout law m eant so much to her boy a t such a tim e its application to all boys would be a good thing.

SCOUTS RUN AN AMBULANCE.

The boy scouts o f Richmond during the influenza epidemic perform ed a g reat service. The scouts voluntarily secured, equipped and m anned an am ­bulance.

T his am bulance carried m ore than 75 patien ts to the emergency hospital a t th e high school. The scouts took every precaution. They wore m asks and bathed th e ir hands and faces in bichloride solution.

As many as eight pa tien ts w ere brought from one home, each one care­fu lly placed upon the s tre tche r by th e ir tra in ed hands, borne to the am­bulance and taken out w ith skill not excelled by veteran am bulance drivers.

This am bulance w as on duty n ight and day. A t tim es i t w as necessary to carry as m any as five patien ts a t one time.

DOINGS OF THE BOY SCOUTS.

When people w an t anything done tha t is difficult to have done w ithout paying fo r It they generally call upon th e scouts to do it. In Lynchburg, Va., th e scouts are k ep t busy. One accom­m odating troop a ttends to th e ( is tribu - tion of the church envelopes.

The good tu rn by a troop of scouts in New H aven, Conn., w as accom­plished by paying fo r repairs to the church plum bing and also to the roof of th e building. They take care of the lights in the church.

LIBERIA IS REACHING OUTTribes of T hat Country, It Is Said, Are

Accepting the Teachings of the M issionaries

Plenyono Gbe Wol’o, a L iberian of the Kru tribe, who graduated from Co­lumbia university, says:

T here never has been a scientific census of Liberia, but the population is estim ated a t from 2,000,000 to 3,000,- 000, and not more than 15,000 are Americo-Liberians, the descendants of liberated slaves. The rem ainder be­long to tribes which speak four differ­ent languages and offer only nominal submission to the governm ent. The K rus elect their kings by the selection of the most available man of the royal house. Iu the Jarrow ay tribe the king is an absolute monarch fo r the reign

j of six years, and is then pu t to death.O ther tribes also follow different cus-

, toms.T he tribes do not acknowledge the

governm ent of Monrovia, because they feel th a t it does not pro tect them . By trea ty the United S tates governm ent is required to help the Americo-Libe- rians against the tribes, and in 1912 th is country helped put down a rebel­lion of the Krus.

The constitution of L iberia has a literacy test, which has heretofore ex­cluded most of the natives from vot­ing, as the central governm ent is un­able to undertake their education. The Girbas a re being ta'ught by Episcopal m issionaries, and the Fulingos, who

; a re Mohammedans, a re also gaining the franchise. The K rus are very am ­bitious and are also catching up. There are more than 50 L iberians of the na­tive tribes studying in the United

i States.

WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEWEngineers in Charge of Construction

W ork Had Ideas T hat Now Seem a Little Peculiar.

L ight on strange ideas of pioneer ra ilroad builders was thrown by Ed­ward S. Jouett, general solicitor of the L. & N., in a ta lk before the Ro­ta ry club a t Louisville.

“The Lexington-Frankfort line,” said he, “w as built w ith longitudinal stone sills capped with a s trip of iron, and the num erous curves, which you have all noted, a re said to have been pur­posely introduced upon the theory tha t they were an advantage in enabling the conductor the more easily to see the rea r of his tra in . The coaches were two-story affairs—women and children below and men above— and the motive power was mules to the top of the hill above F rankfo rt. The tra in w as let down the hill into the city upon an incline operated by a sta tionary engine.

“You may be interested, in passing, to learn th a t with the exception of a few miles near New Orleans, which antedated it about a week, th is line from Lexington to F rank fo rt is the oldest railroad in the United S tates south of the Ohio and w est of the Alleghenies. I t was chartered in 1S30 —very early In ra ilroad history, when we rem em ber th a t the first railroad, in the United S tates was built in 1826, and th e first locomotive engine was operated in 1S29.”

THE PASSING OF WHITMAN

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1919

“I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic fo r w hich it s tands; one nation, indivisible, w ith liberty and justice fo r all.”

CANDLEMAS DAY.

Sunday w as Candlem as day. F eb ru ary 2 is also know n as “ground hog” and “w oodchuck” or “bear" day according to locality. T here is a trad ition in most p a rts of Europe th a t if the w ea ther is fine on Candle­m as day a severe w in te r w ill follow, and it survives in this coun try in J the belief th a t the ground hogs and bears come out of the ir w in te r q u arte rs on F eb ru ary 2d, and if they see th e ir shadow's, go back in ­to th e ir holes and six weeks of bad w ea ther w ill follow.

W ell, Sunday his m ajesty, Arc- tom ys m onax, made h is appearance at exactly 8 o’clock in the m orning and the official shadow w as cast. He m ight have appeared at any other h o u r during the day and have seen his shadow for the sun shown b rig h tly all day, b u t it happened on th is occasion to be at p recisely 3 o ’clock. The w oodchuck sat up at th e en trance of h is bo rrow , rubbed h is eyes and gazed about. As he saw' h is shadow he issued th is p ro ­clam ation : “T here w ill be b lustreyw ea ther un til St. P atrick ’s day. T here w ill be good fox hunting F eb ru a ry 22. P ru n e you r fru it trees on F eb ru ary 18 and set your buff cochin hens on M arch 29. Dig your sassafras now'. The robins w ill sing in B-ilat on M arch 1 and the sw al­low s w ill appear on April 15.” T herefore, if w e are to believe this p red ic tion the fu tu re is fraugh t w ith grave m eaning to those w hose w el­fare depends on w ind and wave, sunshine and shadow, or change of tim e and tide.

Rhym es of all sorts have been w ritte n in connection w ith Candle­m as day. A Scottish poem on the subject tells the sto ry of the day in th is m anner:If Candlemas day be d ry and fair, The half ’o w in te r’s to come and

m air;If Candlem as day be w et and foul, T he ha lf ’o w in te r’s gane a t Yule, As fa r as the sun show n out on

Candlem as day.N ew Englanders have also added

th e ir share to rhym es telling of F eb ru ary 2, of w hich th is is a fair sam ple:As fa r as the snow blow s in on

Candlem as day.So fa r w ill the snow b low in before

May;One of the neatest rhym es con­

cern ing Candlem as day is the Scotch s ta n d -b y :So fa r w ill the sun shine out before

Mav,If Candlem as be b righ t and clear T h ere ’ll be tw o w in te rs in the year.

Candlem as itself is one of the old­est of feast days. The Rom ans b u rn ­ed candles on th a t day to the god­dess Februa, the m other of Mars, and u n d e r Pope Sergius the long stand ­ing custom w as tu rned to Christian

From an editorial entitled “The Passing of W hitm an”—W alt W hit­m an—in the P hiladelph ia Record, we judge th a t the E d ito r of that p a­per does not share in the belief that the “good gray poet” is “Am erica’s only tru ly great poet.’” The edi­toria l in p art follow s:

W e are fa r from believ­ing him the only tru ly great American poet, w e have long felt th a t he w as not a great poet a t all. W e believe, fu rther, tha t h is vogue is passing, in spite of a w ide and persis ten t effort to feed aiul propagate it.

W hitm an’s verse-form w as not a m ere preference; it was the out­grow th of an inability . It w asn ’t th a t he disdained to use rhym e; he sim ply couldn’t. He had tried and failed. His “0 Captain, My Cap­ta in ,” one of the few good things to h is credit, is proof of this. Yet in spite of w re tched rhym es and m e­trical angularities, the poem is line; the thought is high and sincere. The res tra in t was good for him.

It is- true W hitm an w as hailed by many great and near-great poets in England as the typical voice of America, bu t w e fancy they reason­ed som ething like th is : Am erica is new, loud, uncouth; W hitm an, w ith his barbaric yaw p, is all of those th ings; therefore, W hitm an is the true voice. W hitm an w as almost alw ays the rhetoric ian , only occa­sionally the singer. This is heresy, even-blasphem y to the vers librists, all of whom venerate W hitm an as the M aster, and fancy they are in the w ay of being great singers like him .

T here have been m any attem pts to define vers libre. One of the best w e’ve heard is th is : “Vers lib re is a form in w hich a them e unw orthy of a pure p rose em bodim ent is de­veloped by one w ho is incapable of pure poetic expression.” This fits the p resen t follow ers of the school, and it p re tty nearly fits W hitm an. W hitm an has played his p a rt in Am erican L itera ture, but w e believe and hope that the day is not far d istan t w hen it w ill be adm itted that his greatest service has been akin to tha t perform ed for English le tters at the close of the E ighteenth cen­tu ry by Mac.Pherson, w hose “Os- s ian” poems, w ith the ir bom bast and artificiality , spurred o ther and bet­te r poets to sing truly.

If W hitm an is the father of all these vers librists, w hich few of them w ill deny, he m ay yet be the g rand fa ther of one o r m ore real poets, who, in revulsion from h is rough ways, w ill resum e the old elegancies of m etre and rhym e and sing the new songs of this golden age as they should be sung.

PLAN CLOSER UNIONMovement to Draw English-

Speaking Peoples Together.

F irs t Branch of Union to Be Estab­lished in America Is in

Philadelphia.

Washington.—It Is the general feel­ing that the foundation on which the proposed League of Nations must be built is a complete understanding and friendly co-operation between the two great English-speaking peoples; that on the Americans and the British will fall largely the task of making the world safe for democracy. Realizing this, a group of Americans and Brit­ishers have started a movement to draw the English-speaking peoples of the world closer together in the bond of comradeship and have organized the English-Speaking Union.

The aim of the union is, briefly, to make the English-speaking peoples of the world better known to each other, whether they be Americans, Austra­lians, Canadians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Newfoundlanders or the inhabitants of the British isles and their dependencies. I t does not aim a t formal alliances, nor is it con­cerned with the relationship of govern­ments; it is solely and simply a good fellowship movement among the peo­ple “who speak the tongue that Shake­speare spake.”

The aim of the promoters, American and British, is tha t no citizen of the English-speaking world should ever feel lonely again after the war, tha t no American visiting the old country should ever w ant a friend, and tha t no Britisher should ever want one in the g re a t. republic. They plan to make these peoples better known to each other in various ways—by the inter­change of visits, by correspondence, by the printed word, by lectures, by an Interchange of professors and preach-' ers, by sporting contests and by every other possible means.

I t was Admiral Sims who said the other day tha t “if only an interchange of 100,000 young men from our leading schools on both sides of the Atlantic could be made annually there would be no possibility of fu ture misunder­standings between us.” In 95 per cent of the things th a t m atter the English- speaking peoples, whether they c'ome from the United States, from the Brit­ish dominions in the fa r antipodes, or from the mother country, have the same outlook, the same ideals, the same conceptions of right and wrong, the same laws, the same literature. I t is only in the remaining 5 per cent of j superficial things that they differ.

The first branch of the English- j

Speaking Union to be established in J America is in Philadelphia and the first European branch is in London, j Its monthly magazine already has j been started.

GATHERING OF CROP DATA!

The Greatest Department Store On The Coast

Inform ation Showing How Thorough Is the W ork of the D epartm ent

of Agriculture.

BRITISH DEFY FOE’S MINES

An outline of the organization de­veloped in the department of agricul­ture through more than half a century of experience in crop estimating, indi­cating the care and thoroughness with which government crop reports are prepared, is given In the annual re­port of the secretary of agriculture.

For collecting original data the bu­reau of crop estimates has two main sources of information—voluntary re­porters and salaried field agents. The voluntary force comprises 33,743 town­ship reporters, one for each agricul­tural township; 2,752 county reporters, whio report monthly or oftener on county-wide conditions, basing their estimates on personal observation, In­quiry and written reports of aids, of whom there are about 5,500; 19 special lists of co-operators, aggregating 137,- 000 names, who report on particular products, such as live stock, cotton, wool, rice, tobacco, potatoes, apples, peanuts, beans and the like; and 20,- 100 field aids. Including the best in­formed men in each state, who report directly to the salaried field agents of the bureau. The total voluntary staff, therefore, numbers approximately 200,- 000, an average of about 66 for each county and 4 for each township. The reporters, as a rule, are farmers. They serve without compensation, and are selected and retained on the lists be­cause of their knowledge of local con­ditions, their public spirit, and their interest in the work. Ail except coun­ty and field aids report directly to the bureau, and each class of reports Is tabulated and averaged separately for each group and state.

Invention of Naval Officer Enabled Ships to Push Into Helgoland

Bight.

London.—Mines and mine fields were rendered obsolete by the development of the “paravene,” the invention of Lieutenant Burnley and consistently urged upon the British navy by Ad­miral Sir Hedworth Meux. This in­strument was officially adopted by the | navy early in 1916 and was so success- > ful th a t special factories were built for its construction.

I t is now learned tha t the British grand fleet on several occasions pushed right into ihe bight of Helgoland, which, if mines mean anything, would have been a death trap for ships. Ger­man experts never solved the mystery. From the time of its adoption to the close of the war only two warships were reported having been sunk by mines. The most recent use of the "paravenes” was on the occasion of British warships entering the Baltic through a closely mine-strewn, area. The steel wire mooring ropes of the mines are said to have been cut by the paravanes as a string is cut by scis­sors.

RAIL RELIC IN JUNK HEAP

Girl Farm ers.South Bethlehem, Pa., probably had

one of the most active organizations of the woman’s land army in the entire United States during the summer just ended. Farmers in that locality in many instances reaped the largest crops in history, and they praise the conscientious and efficient work of the girls and young women who assisted them as among the best help they ever had.

Pitching hay is really a man’s job, but the girls on the farms near Beth­lehem were ready to try any kind of farm work, and made a fine record In harvesting the hay crop. The work for which they showed themselves best adapted, however, was horticul­tural. They were invaluable in the truck gardens, weeding onion patches, picking berries, bunching asparagus and doing the various other odd jobs that must be done to keep gardens productive and neat.

Saturday night meant a time of rest for the girls, and they celebrated with “sings” ordinarily. They also gave oc­casional vaudeville and minstrel shows and dinner parties. Many of them are college girls and have gone back to school, but others are engaging in oth­er forms of work during the fall and i winter season.

W heels of Locomotive Built by S te­phenson fo r F irs t R ailroad in

Maine A re to Be Preserved.

Waterville, Me.—On the lawn of the home of Col. Frederick E. Boothby, for many years general passenger agent of the Maine Central railroad, is the wheels of the tender of the first loco­motive of the first railroad in Maine— the Bangor, Oldtown & Orono rail­way, better known as the “Veazie Railroad.” The wheels are of oak, with a half-inch iron tire and iron flange. The original engine was called the Pioneer and was imported from England, where it was built by Stephenson. The wheels of the ten­der were found recently in a junk shop and were turned over to “Colonel Boothby.

Almanach De Gotha.We pity the colleague whp a t pres­

ent has to edit the Almanach de Gotha, the directory of all courts. The next edition, which, by the way, had almost been ready for the printer when the great tumbling of thrones happened and therefore will have to be radically revised and will look very different We cannot imagine that the good people who used to place the bible of aris­tocracy and the court directory on the most conspicuous shelf of their book­case will ever again have the desire to inquire “who is who?”

No,fewer than 278 names belonging to former reigning princes will be missed. And those are of the ruling families of’ Germany exclusively; not to mention the Turks, the Greeks, the Bulgarians, etc. The new almanach, which no longer will have to speak in cringing humility of the Hohenzollern, the Wittelsbaehs of Bavaria, the Zaeh- ringers of Baden, the Coburgs and the Schaumberg-Lippes is a list of war gains. Of course, it does not compen­sate entirely for all the sacrifices which hundreds of thousands of better men had to suffer before these 278 highnesses of divine right were per­mitted to become ordinary mortals, but it is, nevertheless, one fruit of our victory. And the house-cleaning still goes on.—German Democracy Bulle­tin.

C hristians Endure.

Men and w om en of k ind ly im ­pulses are found everyw here, and it -would be un just to cast d iscred it on the friend ly souls all over the w orld •who lend a help ing h and out of pure friend liness and hum an kindness. But a test of any good th ing is its enduring quality. This, on no less au tho rity than the judgm ent of Miss Ja n e Addams of Hull House, Chicago, is a characteristic pecu lia r to C hris­tian w orkers. H ere are h e r w ords, quoted no t long ago in a new spaper account of an in te rv iew in wrh ich she w as asked upon w hom she re lie f

A w eary , b leary gentlem an fuzz upon h is face,

Reposed before a barroom on an em pty w hiskey case;

He eyed the lock upon the door, he eyed the cobwebs there,

And w hile he eyed he also sighed a sigh of deep despair.

And w hen the sigh subsided, w hich it did ere very long.

He lifted -up a shaky voice and sang th is tragic song:

I w an t to go hom e and beat my w ife

And pu t all h e r rings in hock;

I w an t to go hom e and s ta rt a strife

You can h ea r all around the b lo ck !

But they’ve taken the poetry out of life

By m aking the coun try dry,F or I dassn’t go hom e and beat

my wife Unless I am full of rye.

A teardrop s ta rted from his eye and coursed along his cheek.

And ziz-zagged through his w hiskers, w here it left a laundried streak

for vo lun teer unsa laried w orkers, He lifted up a trem bling hand and“ creedless a ltru ists o r church mem­bers.” H er an sw er is most signifi­cant. She rep lie d : “They sre allC hristians from evangelical churches I have had a good m any ‘a ltru is ts’ try it, but I never knew any slum w orker to stand the w ea r and tear of our w ork for over th ree weeks unless insp ired by C hristian love.” — The P ilgrim Teacher.

“The Man W ho W alks Awav.'

brushed the drop aside,“It feels like w ater,” he observed,

“w hich same I can ’t abide. W hen Congress put the boots to

booze they m adem ylife a curse!” And then he sang the chorus w hich

succeeds the second yerse:

I w an t to go out and rob a bank And make a big h;iul tonight;

But how can I play th is innocent p rank

Unless I am lighted righ t? There isn’t a chance to fill m y

ta n k —-It gives a good man the blues,

F o r I dossn’t go out and rob a bank Unless I am wiled w ith booze.

VEHICULAR TUBE UNDER HUD­SON IS PROBABLE.

Leaders of Two States P ractically Assured T hat Legislatures Will Make A ppropriation fo r the W ork.

m ent Com mission representatives of both the N ew York and New Jersey Bridge and T unnel Commisssions. Lieut. G overnor W alker, of New Y ork; Speaker W hite, of the House of Assembly, and the m ajority and m inority leaders of bo th the Senate and Assembly. T he conference w as a most im portan t one fo r both States, because a definite p lan was reached for pushing the pro jec t of the veh icu lar tunnel under the H ud­son riv er w ith resu ltan t effect upon the projected bridge across th e D ela­w are. R epresentatives of bo th States w ill meet du ring the w eek com m encing F eb ruary 9 to agree up­on steps fo r New York and New Je r­sey tak in tf sim ilar action regarding the proportion ing of m oney for the p re lim inary w ork. The p o rt de­velopm ent proposition w as also d is­cussed at the conference.

The veh icu lar tunnel project was discussed first, and the leaders of the tw o houses of the Legislature expressed confidence tha t a bill sim ilar to the New Jersey law so far as the details of organization and pow er w ere concerned, w ould pass at the p resen t session of the Legislature, calling fo r an appropria­tion of 31,000,000 to commence the w ork. At the conclusion of the d is­cussion G overnor Smith w as asked by G overnor Edge if he generally approved of the p lan , and G overnor Sm ith rep lied that he did, provided the leaders of the tw o houses could w ork out a plan for the S tate’s finan­cial obligations. T hey stated they felt am ply able to do so. The New York legislators, how ever, favored a toll tunnel in o rder tha t its cost wdll ultim ately be reim bursed Jo the States.

P referred F ree Tube.G overnor Edge expressed him self

as opposed to tolls; that he felt the day had arrived w hen a S tate owed it to its people to provide bridges and highw ays w ithout tolls. H ow ­ever, the New York legislators stated th a t they felt it w ould be im possible under the -condition of the finances of New York, w here they are fac­ing a deficit of approxim ately $25.-1 p00,000, th is year betw een incom e i an ticipated and expenses com puted. 1 and G overnor Edge expressed him-1 self as feeling that the im prove- j ment is of such great im portance that he w ould recom m end New Jersey 's participation , even though tolls should be charged, w ith the hope tha t the tunnel would be u ltim ately 1 free, w hich view w as acquiesced in ; by the New York representative. !

The discussion of a continuation of the w ork of the P o rt Develop­ment Commission then followed, and it w as m utually agreed tha t each State w ould again appropriate $100,- 000 for the continuation of th is j work. P residen t W ilcox, of the jo in t com mission and Counsel Cohen m ade an elaborate rep o rt of the w ork a lready accom plished, and it is an ticipated w ill be finished in ano ther year, and the repo rts of the com plete p lan w ill be presented to the Legislatures of the tw o States.

Then follow ed a free discussion of the provisions of the proposed trea ty w hich it is expected w ill be subm itted to the tw o Legislatures during the p resen t session. After the trea ty is finally adopted, w hich provides that the schem e fo r general developm ent, w hen adopted by both Legislatures wdll become a perm an­ent fact, all fu tu re developm ent of the po rt will adhere to this general plan.

Legislators to Confer.It w as definitely decided that a

com m ittee from each Legislature, consisting of the presid ing officers of the tw o houses and the m ajority and m inority leaders of each house, would m eet in New York a t some time m utually convenient during the w eek com m encing February ' 9. G overnor Edge w ill p resen t this m atte r to the New Jersey Legisla­ture in am ple tim e, and it w as agreed by the represen tatives of the New York Legislature at the conferences to participate. When the New York Legislature gives w hat would seem to be prac tica lly definite assurance that the b ill w ill pass providing for a $1,000,000 appropriation for the fun­nel it w ill be necessary for the New Jersey Legislature to advance the levying of the tax as provided in o rd er that New Jersey may be p re ­pared to assume its share of the b u r­den. Of course, ,un d er the toll system the States w ill be u ltim ately reim bursed as the proposition will am ortize itself. New York proposes to raise its m oney by a d irect appro­priation . New Jersey, because of its free surplus, could do the same if the Legislature so p re fe rre l it, but in view of the general plan to build highw ays, tunnels and the D elaw are bridge, these im prove­m ents serving all sections of the State, under the financial system of taxation, it is presum ed tha t New Jersey w ill continue tha t policy.

R E P U B L IC ’S TW O G REA T DAYS

Ecuador Twice a Year C elebrates It* Freedom From the Domination

of the Spaniard.

The republic of Ecuador celebrates two national holidays, and. strange to Ray. both a re ‘"independence days.” Both are observed with tlie sam e en­thusiasm and patrio tic fervor that is displayed here on the anniversary of the adoption of the Immortal declara­tion, according to the Pan-American Onion.

The liberty-loving patrio ts had ro shoot two bolts a t Spanish domination before they succeeded in gaining per^ m anent independence. The tirsi time they had a quiet but determ ined revo­lution in Quito, the present capital of the republic, the patrio ts assembling a t the house of Manuela Canizares, a brave and beautiful woman, on Au­gust 5. 1809, when they prepared their declaration of independence and chose the officials who w ere to compose the provisional governm ent. T hat night the conspirators gathered their forces in different parts of the city, and Cap­tain Salinas, who commanded the two companies of regu la r troops anki guarded the city, sent to their b a r­racks, read to them the declaration and won them over to the cause of the patrio ts. They overpowered the bodyguard of Ruiz de Castilla, the Spanish governor, early on the morn­ing of August 10 and thus established the first republic w ithout shedding a drop of blood. I t lasted only about a year, when Castilla succeeded in over­throw ing the patrio tic governm ent and again brought the country under Span­ish dominion.

The fires of liberty had been tin - died. however, and the Ecuadoreans kept up t*eir heroic struggle notw ith­standing many reverses, until in 1820 the people of Guayaquil, the leading seaport of the country, succeeded In rebelling on the 9th of October. W ith the aid of Gen. Simon Bolivar, the g rea t Venezuelan em ancipator, and of his com patriot, Gen. Antonio Jose Sucre. I lie Ecuadoreans a fte r many bloody battles succeeded in complete­ly annihilating the Spanish forces and established freedom in E cuador for­ever. T herefore it is th a t the Ecua­doreans celebrate two “independence days,” the 10th of August and the 9th of October.

New Male G arm ent Planned.Get ready for next fall, fellows, for

th e blanket cape. F or you are going to have your appearance changed. The new sartorial style is really a cape and blanket, which will be bung over many a pair of m asculine shoulders. Tust how many it will hang over is yet to be determ ined, bu t if the interest the invention aroused nt the concluding session of the sem i-annual m eeting of the American D esigners’ association in the M artinique hotel is sustained the garm ent will acquire considerable vogue, w rites the New York corre­spondent of the P ittsburgh D ispatch. The blanket cape consists of an arm y blanket with a few holes and buttons and a detachable collar. When the owner is asleep the blanket cape per­forms its primal functions of keeping the sleeper warm, and nothing more. When he aw akens he removes a cir­cular bit of cloth buttoned to the mid­dle of the blanket and unbuttons a slit about a foot long th a t s ta r ts a t the hole. T his gives him plenty of room in which to in sert his head. A Napoleonic storm collar is then a t­tached to the hole collar and the two dies th a t fall over the arm s a re con­nected into sleeves by concealed but­tons. And there he stands, in a sm art- looking poncho th a t gives him lots of room to get into his pockets and keeps away the cold also! I t can be any col­or or any cloth the w earer chooses, but these details a re left for the author of “W hat the Men W ear” to have a lit­tle fun with.

Stam ps of 1918."A nother year comes .to a close with

fa r more than 500 new postage stam ps having been issued." w rites K ent B. Stiles in his departm ent, “Stam ps,” in Boys’ Life. “The chronicle a t this w riting shows a to tal of fill varieties, but it will be several months yet be­fore American collectors can gain in­formation regarding many issues re­ported abroad, so th a t tlie record for 1918 may lt-11 of as many as 000. In 1917 there were 990 varieties.

“These 511 varie ties were put forth by nations and their possessions—such as islands, protectorates, colonies, de­pendencies, occupied territories, etc.— to the num ber of 88 governm ents. Of the f ill varie ties 388 w ere due to the w ar alone. The U nited S tates has is­sued more than fifty varieties, includ­ing shade and die varieties due to in­ferior dyestulTs and to worn plates, but the British empire leads the list with nearly 200 varieties."

Turn about is fa ir play. The man who is convinced that m oney will do anyth ing fo r him will do any­th ing for mo’n ey.

Mexico M arket for Tractors.In the fiscal year 1918 the United

State* shipped ‘ almost as many trac ­tors to Mexico as lo all other Lntin- American countries. Mexico’s share lacking only 84 of the combined total of the others. The leading position of th is neighboring country in our export trade in tractors Is due to the action of the Mexican governm ent in stim u­lating agriculture by exem pting farm ­ing im plem ents from im port duty, and even by im porting such m achinery for side a t cost to Mexican farm ers.

Good Culinary Service Requires Efficient Cooking A p p l i a n c e s

This is particularly true in the hospital diet-kitchen, restaurant, lunchroom or cafe.

You can have these efficient ranges if you will investigate theequipment i l lu s t r a te d . These ranges will give maximum service and prove economical to operate.

These VULCAN Cafe Ranges and their equipment fill a long- felt want for ranges adapted to restaurant and cafeteria work. They aTe s tro n g e r and more practical than the domestic type of gas range, and lower in price than the standard Hotel Unit.

The ovens of these ranges are .constructed on the same strong, “for-hard-usage” lin e s as du r standard Units.

The broilers are so constructed that each half may be operated separately, each half being equip­ped with its own individual set of burners. This allows the broiler to be operated very economically. The distribution of heat is equal, and they are excellent broilers. They are equipped with cast-iron baffle plates which, as well as the burners, are easilyremoved with­out the use of tools.

No. 781 has aplate-warming compartment. High shelves can also be furnished. These units can be connected in batteries as desired, making one

continuous cooking top.

SEE GOD’S HAND IN RESCUEN atives of R im atara Ascribe T heir Es­

cape From Death to Miraculous Interposition.

“Saved by the hand of God," is the way the nine natives composing the crew of the SO-ton schooner Orotnana characterize the ir escape from death, a f te r having drifted helplessly 50 days on one of the loneliest b its of ocean in the seven seas.

W hen the wreck of the Oromana was towed into Papeete harbor, Tahiti, one of the tuost rem arkable voyages known in these w aters was completed. The vessel, a two-masted schooner, owned by natives of R im atara, an island about 300 m iles southw est of T ahiti, left her home port, w ithout cargo, bound fo r the island of ^Jurutu, in the sam e group, w here she w as to undergo repairs and take cargo of copra fo r Tahiti.

Two days out, she was struck by a storm , which carried away both her m asts and la te r her rudder, leaving h e r a helpless derelict.

W ith never a glimpse of land or sail to give a ray of hope, the Oromana drifted fo r 50 days. A fter 15 days the supply of food w as gone. The natives managed to catch a shark with hook and line. T his lasted them five days. The re s t of the tim e they bad no food. An occasional show er prevented death from th irst.

Then the "m iracle” happened. The m ountains of T ahiti, rose slowly over the horizon. The shifting sea cu rren t brought them neare r and n earer until they w ere finally sighted from snore and a pow erboat sen t to tow them in. They were too weak to rise to their feet, but, a f te r a few days ashore all appeared to be rapidly recovering from th e ir experience.

The natives say the hand of God guided th e ir craft, fo r the prevailing w inds in these la titudes a re from the northw est, a direction which would never have brought them to T ahiti.

Chateau Thierry.

As we craw led up a railroad track in the vicinity of Chateau T hierry (th is w as in O ctober)—a railroad track which seemed the only new and complete object in sight—the Y. M. C. A. girl, who had been sitting in the corner of the com partm ent resisting all advances a t conversation, volun­teered a rem ark.

“O ur division took it ,” she said.I t tu rned out th a t she had gone in

w ith her canteen ju s t behind the divi­sion, during th a t fight w herein Amer­ica made good. She lacked the n a rra ­tive talent, th a t girl, but she came out a t Intervals w ith flashes like th i s :

“W hen our boys came up the s trag ­glers said to th e m : ‘You can’t stay in th e r e !’ And our hoys s a id : ‘We’llnot only stay there, bu t w e're going forw ard.’ When tlie stragglers saw that, they formed, too, and went back w ith them .”

Or this, as we drew into sight of a road bordered by blackened ru in s:

SOME MODES OF THE MOMENTMost Decided Changes in Newest Cre-,

a tions Are P resented in Collar A rrangem ents.

One of the modes of the moment Is the curious assembling of different fabrics for the fashioning of one gar-, ment. Thus a black satin afternoon frock has been richly trimmed with, soft white Angora cloth, and this in turn has been thickly beaded with jet. The frock shows a criss-cross of the beaded white Angora forming a trim ­ming for the narrow skirt, a curious belt arrangement, not straight around the waist, but higher a t o re side and slanting diagonally across the front of the skirt. The. sleeves are long and tight, ornamented a t the waist with the white fuzzy stuff and the beads, and the neck is high and finished with one of the new very high collars made of the white material, one end being left long like a scarf, thrown over one shoulder and finished with a long je t tassel.

The most decided changes in any of the newest creations are presented in tlie collar arrangements. Yerv blgh collars with thrown ends appear on many frocks. Often they are knotted on the neck of the dress, a heavy silk thread of a bright and beautiful color being used.

This sort of collar appears on a blue coat dress. The collar is of Belgian blue, knitted round and round, so that a sort of small yoke is formed a t the top of the waist, narrowing into a high collar which ends in a throw a t one side. Touches.of the blue threads have been knitted a t intervals across the front of the bodice to brighten it, and a long sash is knitted a t one side of tlie skirt.

SIMPLICITY IN SPRING WEARLack of Display Prom ises to Be Espe­

cially Noticeable in L atest Models of A pparel.

Fashion designers seem a t last to have been converted to a realization of the power and beauty of simplicity. As everyone knows, says a fashion writer, simple language is most con­vincing, and the house built on lines of simple dignity a t once advertises Its occupants as people of culture and refinement. Why then should the in­dividual woman elect to wear clothes tha t are over ornate either in style line or decorative features? Apparel is properly meant to emphasize the good points of the individual it cov­ers, rather than that the individuality of woman be submerged and her form serve merely as a foundation for the display of rich garments.

In the development of early spring styles the leaning to simple garments is especially noticeable. Of course, the very first of the spring garments are bough t'by those' fortunate ones who flee to Southern resorts to es­cape the rigors of the Northern or W estern winter. In suits and coats, sport suggestions usually lead.

CHANGE IN POSY FAVORITESRoses, C hrysanthem um s and C arna­

tions Are Given Preference Over Beautiful Camellias.

Cam ellias a re w onderfully beautifu l flowers, bu t recently fashion has de­m anded roses, chrysanthem um s and carnations to. th e exclusion of camel­lias, and florists bow to fash ion fo r purely financial reasons.

Camellias are excellent plants for the cool greenhouse. Once they were the aristocrats of flowers in America, occupying the position th a t orchids do now. They are no less beautiful now than then and there is no reason why am ateurs should not grow them. Blooming, as they do in the late au­tumn, w inter and early spring, they supply bloom a t a . time when flowers are scarce.

W ith a little care cam ellias cun be grown in the window garden w here th e tem pera tu re is no t too high apd the atm osphere no t too dry.

Camellias need a cool, m oist place w here the tem peratu re does nut go over 50 or 55 degrees Fahrenheit, ond fresh a ir should be adm itted «s often as possible w ithout lowering t i e tem ­perature.

American Indian a t His W orst, and the Hun, Shown to Have Qual­

ities in Common.

The German is not the orig inator of the "K ainernd” ruse, according t(fc Ed Houston, a farm er living north of Junction City, Kan., who followed all accounts of ba ttles in the big w ar very closely.

Mr. Houston says tha t the Indian w as an adep t a t crying “K am erad,” in his own tongue, of course, long be­fore the German em pire w as formed, and cites an experience of his own to prove it.

Mr. Houston was a member of Troop G, Seventh cavalry, the regi­ment commanded by the gallant Col. George Custer, for eight years. Un­der Captain Edgerly he went to tiie scene of the P ine Ridge troubles. The troops lined up to disarm a hand of Indians th a t had given them selves up. They included tlie chief, Cig Foot, and a large number of braves, as well as women and childreu.

The captives w ere herded together and soldiers formed a hollow square around them. Each Indian wore his blanket draped over his shoulders, and, with arm s folded across the chest in the custom ary Indian position, m aintained a stoical silence. I t was known th a t a num ber of tlie Indians carried guns, bu t no treachery was suspected.

Suddenly, apparently w ithout a given signal, one Indian opened fire on th e surprised troopers. Instan tly all of th e o ther braves followed suit, and even the squaw s and older chil­dren joined in the a ttack upon the soldiers.

L ittle Indian boys w ith sawed-oft shotguns fought until killed and the b a ttle w as a bloody affair. I t ended when there w ere no more Indiatis, be­cause the soldiers, angered a t the trickery th a t had been shown, gave no q u arte r and the Indians asked for none.

The following day the Seventh went to Drexel Mission, where ano ther bat­tle took place. A fter the Pine Ridge trouble had been stam ped out, the regim ent re turned taJ its station a t F o rt Riley, where Mr. H ouston con­tinued in service fo r a num ber of years.

Gull Gets Into Ashpit.“I t’s crying like a baby and fighting

like a devil," shouted Engineer Jam es McQuade of the sta te steam tug Gov­ernor Irvin, lying in th e slip between piers 18 and 20, as he ran waving his arm s tow ard police officers, John Mal­colm and John Maloney, on duty a t the piers, w rites a San F rancisco corre­spondent.

“Get Captain Symon on the phone— tell him som ething awful is aboard the Irw in,” said McQuade as he cam e alongside the officers, but the officers thought it be tter to investigate before comm unicating w ith Capt. Jam es Sy­mon, superin tendent of the s ta te tugs.

“T here’s som ething in th e ash re­ceiver, right under the sm okestack of the Irw in,” McQuade said.

The officers hurried back to the tug w ith the engineer. Ash-pit doors were throw n open and there, gasping for breath, lay a seagull th a t had flown down the sm okestack.

“I s ta rted working its wings w ith my hands and blowing dow-n its throat, and Maloney fanned it with his head­gear, and in a few m inutes it began to breathe all right, and flapped its wings to be off. They were scorched badly and it flew a little wobbly as it made away tow ard Yerba Buena island. I bet th a t bird will rem em ber th is day,” said Malcolm.

Those of us w ho are accustom ed to feel dull and heavy w hen w e a riser sp litting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty b rea th , acid stom ach, can, instead, feel as f?esh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each m orning and flush­ing out the w ho’e r>f the in te rn a l poisonous stagnan t m a tte r .

E veryone, w h eth er am ng. sick o r w ell, should, each m orning before breakfast, d rink a glass of real h o t w a te r w ith a teaspoon ful of lim e­stone phosphate in it tow aslifrom the stom ach, liver and bowels the p re ­vious day’s indigestible w aste, sour bile and poisonous tox ins; thus cleansing, sw eetening and purify ing the en tire a lim entary canal before pu tting m ore food in to the stom ach. T he action of hot w a te r and lim e­stone phosphate on an em pty stom ­ach is w onderfu lly invigorating. It cleans out all the sour ferm entations, gases, w7aste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite' fo r b reak ­fast. W hile you are enjoying y o u r b reakfast the phosphated ho t wra te r is qu ie tly ex tracting a large volum e of w 'ater from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.

T he m illions of people w ho are bo thered w ith constipation, bilious spells, stom ach trouble, rheum atic sliff'ness; o thers w ho have ' sa llow skins, blood d iso rders and sick ly com plexions are urged to get a qu arte r pound of lim estone phos­phate from the drug store. This w ill cost very little , but is sufficient to m ake anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of in te rn a l san ita tion .— Adv.

END TERROR BY ZEPPEU N RAIDS

Explosive Bullets Fired by British Airmen Conquer Hun

Airships.

HAD OWN WAY FOR WHILEU ntil Invention of New W eapon Ger­

m an Gas Bags Roamed About Over England a t Will,

W eather Perm itting.

London.-—B rita in conquered th e Z eppelins w ith explosive bullets. Un­ti l th e invention of th is weapon Zep­pelins roam ed about over E ngland a t will, w eather perm itting . The first a ir ra id upon London w as by Zep­pelins. T h is w as May 31, 1915, and un til th e explosive bullet cam e in to defense w ork the G erm ans cam e over in th e ir rig id gas bags as th e ir p leas­ure d ictated . T he B ritish h ad no Zeppelins then fo r • counter-attack and th e a irp lanes th ey possessed w ere helpless, because th ey could n o t fly h igh enough quickly enough.

On one occasion w hen Zeppelins w ere above th e c ity B ritish aviato rs, a s usual, w ent up to engage them . B u t th e B ritish flyers could only a t­ta in 15,000 fe e t a ltitude . T here they sa t, looking u p a t tlie m onsters fa r above them , th e m achine guns of th e airp lanes being as useless as toy p is­tols. T h a t is th e rea l reason why B rita in bu ilt fa s t, Mgh-climbing a ir­planes. She h ad to outdo the Zepps. She won, soon having airp lanes th a t could reach 20,000 fee t or more, above w hich d is tance Zeppelins could no t w ork effectively. These high-climbing fighting planes, together w ith th e ex­plosive and incendiary bullets, m ade England too liot fo r the a iring of a Zepp.

Lead Zeppelin Raids.T he leade r of the Zeppelin ra id s on

London w as Com m ander P e te r S tra sse r, who had unbounded h a tred for E ngland. H e had an iron nerve and in G erm any w as regarded as an au th o rity on a ir ra id s aga in s t E ng­land. H e m et h is death on A ugust 4. las t year, in th e H uns’ la rgest Zep­pelin, off tlie E nglish coast. An ex­plosive bu lle t ended h is journey.

To keep ou t o f range of ordinary an ti-a irc ra ft fire th e G erm ans en­larged th e ir Zeppelins from 750,000 to about 2,500,000 cubic feet, th u s in ­creasing ascen t abilities. B u t th is w as quickly countered by im proved de­fense m ethods in B rita in . T he Zepps carried abou t 4,500 pounds o f bombs each.

The first tim e th e Zeppelins v isited London tlie people took i t as a g rea t Joke, flocking to the housetops to see th e incendiary bombs th a t w ere dropped. Only six persons w ere killed In th e in itia l ra id , although 90 incen­d iary bombs w ere lieaved overboard.

The men in th e la te r type of Zep­pelins w ere provided w ith parachutes. The cap ta in and navigating personnel w ere supposed to jum p from th e fo r­w ard gondola and th e crew , generally about tw enty men, from the engine and midship cabins. In th e face of d isaster, how ever, th e re is no record of any m em ber o f a Zeppelin crew having saved h im self by th is means, either because the m achine becam e too quickly enveloped in flames o r fell too rapidly fo r the parachu te to open out.

T he Zeppelins usually se t ou t from Germ any in th e m orning and tim ed th e ir a rriva l off th e English coast about dusk. T he fa te of S trasse r’s sh ip w as sealed because he arrived too early , being ^spotted above the horizon by a B ritish lookout.

P en e tra te H eart of England.T here evidently w as no concerted

action am ong the Zeppelin raiders, each ac ting more or less independ­ently. They selected ta rg e ts upon which they could unload th e ir bombs un interruptedly , if possible, and then See. They o ften penetra ted into the heart o f England.

Six Zeppelins w ere brought down in England, th e firs t by L ieut. Leefe Robison a t Cufley. H e was aw arded the V ictoria Cross. The incendiary m achine gun bullets w hich he used had been issued fo r the first tim e only the day before th e raid , Septem ber 2, 1910. The second Zeppelin w as brought down in flames a t G reat Bur- sted. Out of 13 Zeppelins w hich ra id ­ed England O ctober 19, 1917, the Ger­m ans lost four. One descended al­m ost in tac t n ea r M ersea islanjl, a t the no rtheast co rner o f Essex. An­o th e r was brought down in flames n ea r P o tte r’s B ar, and two o ther Zep­pelins w ere forced to land, bu t th e crew s destroyed th e ir ships.

A fte r Germany saw th e fu tility of" sending Zeppelins aga in s t explosive bu llets (and Zeppelins could no t be p ro tec ted against th a t device) she in ­s titu ted Gotha raids.

JAP SOLDIERS IN WAR GAMETrench Fighting a t Night, Mining and

Counter-Mining Included in Mod­ern Combat Practice.

The week’s: fighting m aneuvers of the Engineers' battalion of the Japanese Im perials G uards and F ir s t division w ere carried out on a scale never be­fore attem pted , .says th e E a s t and W est News. T he w ar p lay occurred a t O tahara. in the Tochigi prefecture. The operations included rival arm ies’ trench fighting a t night, exactly as practiced in th e p resen t Europe w ar. Mining and counter-m ining, w ith m any o ther special fea tu res of modern w ar­fare, w ere practiced. The presen t type of hand grenades w as used.

Japanese w ere first to introduce these m issiles a t P o rt A rthur, bu t the recen t form of th e grenade is quite changed and th e w eapon much im ­proved. The Mills standard bomb, a B ritish invention, was chiefly em­ployed. I t is about the size and shape of a large lemon, is made of steel, the outside corrugated into 48 sm all squares which, upon explosion of th e bomb sca tte r in a wide area. I t will no t explode un til released from th e hand of the throw er. A lever, fitted in ­to a slo t a t the top, extends halfw ay around the circum ference and is held in place by a fixing pin. A sm all m etal ring upon th is pin renders its ex trac­tion easy when ready to be throw n. In casting, the bomb and lever a re tigh t­ly grasped in the righ t hand, th e left foot is advanced and the bomb is hurled w ith an overhead bowling mo­tion, much as in cricket. As th e bomb leaves th e hand, th e lever, actuated by a spring, is loosened and fa lls to the ground, thus rem oving an im pedim ent to the true flight of the missle. W hen the lever flies off, a strong spring is released, forcing the firing pin into a percussion cap. T his ignites th e fuse, w hich burns un til th e m ain charge of am m onial explodes.

They le ft Seven Islands bay on the no rth side of tlie Gulf of St. Lawrence, about tlie end of May and traveled north by canoe and portages, reach­ing F o rt Chimo, near U rgava bf^y, Au­gust 22. In addition to m apping tlie country, they studied its n a tu ra l h is­tory.

Officials Have Invited Missionaries to E nter Freely Into the “ For­

bidden Land."

Those disciples of C hrist who in ter­est them selves in foreign missions are aroused over an invitation coming to American disciples from Tibet, accord­ing to th e Boston Evening T ranscrip t. This land, occupying the “roof of the world,” has heretofore been practical­ly closed to all foreigners. T hat it has been so was due, so T ibet officials tell American disciples, to the influence of China. Now Tibet has throw n otT Chinese control and one of its first acts is to appeal for C hristian m issionaries. The disciples have a mission station a t Batang, one of the fa rth est west cit­ies of China, nearly 3 ,0 0 miles up the Yangste river.

A venturesom e American doctor, sent out by the disciples, journeyed 18 days fa r th e r west, getting into Ti­bet and into a city wherein disease in its w orst form, unattended and not un­derstood, ravaged the people. The doctor se t up an im prom ptu clinic and dispensary. The relief was so great th a t one of the highest civic officials in all T ibet begged him to stay, or if he could not do so to return , build a hospital and official T ibet would help him.

Now the disciples argue th a t here is a call they are not a t liberty to ignore. T heir missionary society has acted to this effect. An appeal has been made for four families, two of them phy­sician fam ilies, to go. I t is said there a re no hospitals, no churches, no schools, no C hristian agencies of any kind in, th a t country of 4,000,000 peo­ple. American m anufactured goods are beginning to reach Tibet and Scotch whisky has been there for a decade or two.

OLD BOXER DIES ON FIELDDick Burge, Once Well Known in This

Country Met His Death Fight­ing in France.

L ate P rivate R ichard Burge of the F irs t Surrey rifles never was a quit­ter, and, despite the fac t th a t he was a t the half century mark, he enlisted and died th e death of a soldier. He was once the lightw eight champion of England, and was born December 19, 1805.

Dick B urge was a name well known to the fight fans on both sides of the A tlantic 20 years or so ago, cliietiy because of his rem arkable battle with Kid Lavigne for the lightweight cham ­pionship of the world. Dick was sev­eral inches ta lle r than the Saginaw Kid, and he had a considerable ad­vantage in weight, but, much to his surprise and th a t of the English fans, he was knocked out in the seventeenth round. He gave a good account of him self before he fell, however, and there w ere tim es when the Kid had reason to fe a r th a t he had taken ou too good a man. A fter B urge quit the ring he became a fight prom oter. T hat was in 1900. He enlisted as a volun­tee r in the B ritish arm y In 1915 and served w ith the colors for th ree years. —D etroit F ree Press.

German Mayor H as Sense of Humor.T he P russian tow n of A ltw asser has

developed a hum orous burgom aster. T he Schw aebische T agw acht says:

“The burgom aster of A ltw asser, who h as been flooded w ith anonym ous le t­te rs accusing him of fa iling in Ms duty as regards th e food supplies, has caused a reply to h is accusers to be posted a t th e tow n hall. I t reads :

Japanese Seek Match O u tle tP lans a re now under w ay to secure

a wide m ark e t in foreign countries for m atches of Japanese m anufacture. At one tim e Japanese m atches had an ex­cellent m arket both in the E ast and in the W est, says th e Pathfinder, but, owing to lack of standard ization of the product and to the m arketing of in feri­or goods by some of the m anufacturers, it finally fell off quite seriously. I t is jiow proposed rigidly to m aintain a high standard of quality In all Jap an ­ese m atches and to have th e product of all m em bers of the newly form ed m atch m anufactu rers’ federation in­spected before shipm ent abroad.

Rulers W ith Business Instincts.At the outset of his im perial career

the g rand fa ther of the form er German kaiser, F rederick William, owed his accum ulation of money to his com­m ercial dealings. One of his commer­cial undertakings w as to s ta r t milk- rounds, which did exceedingly well, in sp ite of being carried on sub rosa, for the German courtiers found th a t the im perial favor w as dependent upon th e ir patronizing the im perial dairy. I h th is way the old em peror created a huge milk monopoly in various cities, and reaped a correspondingly large profit. K aiser Wilhelm him self had keen commercial instincts, and had a finger in m ost of the big German un­dertakings.

Some of Them Are Welcome Additionsto the Language, and Those T hat

Are Not Will Not Long Retain Favor.

The Buffalo Express appeals for a new w ar vocabulary. I t cites six phrases in common use and declares th a t they have been used so much tha t they mean nothing. It dem ands th a t w riters cudgel th e ir b rains to find new phrases to take their places.

H ere are the six phrases th a t have occasioned th is a t ta c k :

“Hun," ‘‘drive .'1 “over the top.” “do­ing you r b it,” "carry ing on” and "strafe .” —

Though possibly all of thes^, words —and to them should have been added "Boche” and "camouflage” a t least— are being overworked, there is much to be said in the ir behalf, and most of them doubtless will stick till, In the natu ra l and unprem editated course of word m anufacture, new ones develop to take th e ir place, the D uluth H erald observes. ♦

And the main th ing to be said for them Is th a t they a re very useful, be­cause every one of them expresses poignantly an im portan t thought. The purpose of language is to convey th o u g h t Language th a t conveys a thought m ost effectively to the most people, especially a t a tim e when clearness and definiteness of thought are so im portan t as now, is the best language to use.

“H un” isn’t likely, to go out of use so long as Americans rem ember Bel­gium and northern F rance and the bombing of cities and the destruction of churches by long-distance guns and the work of the subm arine. Not to speak of the ra re availability of the word fo r the uses of head w riters, who have helped to make it common, the connotations of the word fit so ac­curately th e common opinion of the ch arac te r of the Germans as devel­oped in th is w ar th a t there Is small chance of its retirem ent.

“Over the top” has been worked hard In the sam e connection, used a f t­er a quota has been filled ; and in th a t sense w eariness of it has led to its gradual disuse. Moreover, there is like­ly to be l e s s trench w arfare and more w ar In th e ' open henceforth, and as "over the top” m eans a leap of the a t­tacking force ou t of Its trench th is is the phrase m ost likely to be dropped. Yet its significance in stouthearted valor and daring am ong those who have gone “over the top” is so deep th a t it will never be forgotten by them or by us.

"Doing your b it” it Is well enough to re tire , not because it has been over­worked, bu t because it has been mis­understood. In B ritain , w here i t s ta r t­ed, it m eans “doing your share .” It doesn 't mean doing “a little bit.” I t means doing all you can. B ut our sense of the word having th a t large difference, it Isn’t a good phrase for us to use, and we should re tire it on a pension and substitu te “do your u t­most."

“C arry on,” ano ther B ritish phrase, Is splendidly and nobly Anglo-Saxon and should not be sacrificed fo r any consideration. W hen the B ritish a t Mons and a fte r w ere overpowered and overwhelmed and outnum bered and all bu t crushed by the enemy’s superior­ity in strength and equipm ent they sim ply “carried on” and so made the reversal a t the M arne possible. W hat­ever betides, how ever black the hour may grow, however hopeless the out­look m ay seem, it is the Anglo-Saxon hab it to "carry on” and the courage and persistence i t stands for have plucked victory out of many a defeat. "C arry on” will have won th is w a r; so le t us, who share th e sam e sp irit with our B ritish cousins, never forget the word and the sp irit it stands for.

"S trafe ,” being German, we could spare readily enough, as well as the sp irit of venom and hate th a t It sig­nifies.

W ords don’t win or lose wars. Let u s launch our “drive” “over the top,” each man "doiqg his bit,” a«d let us "carry on” until we “stra fe" the "H un” foreverm ore.

THE FEBRUARY SALE o f FURNITURE

In looking through your city you will observe that many of the most beautiful homes and hotels are older structures that have been rebuilt. Likewise some of our most effective and homelike interiors are those that haare been founded upon an unsuccessful, original effort at decoration and furnishing.

During our February Sale we counsel our friends and patrons to re-study their dwellings and hotels and see whether, at the lowered prices that are to prevail they would not deem it advisible to re-furnish or to freshen up their homes in such a way as will be in keeping with the new spirit—the re-construction spirit that is sweeping the country like a new religion.

The soldiers we welcome home are not the men who left—they have traveled and broadened out and many have spent months in a country that is the cradle of things artistic. It should be our aim to show these men —our brothers, sons, sweethearts and friends—that they have not left a, beautful country to return to a sordid one, that America will lead the world in everything.

If you.-bring your furniture problems here we shall be glad to study them with you and to help you obtain the very best results for the expenditure. If you are building a new home the architect’s blue prints will en­able us to form a comprehensive idea of your needs and to supply you with much useful information.

So that you can furnish completely at this tim e'we have arranged eqpually helpful sales in floor coverings, draperies, curtains, housewares, linens, etc.

We solicit a comparison of prices.
