IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. VOL. XXXVIII. NO. 35 THE PORO COLLEGE "PORO" AGENTS OF ST. LOUIS TO HAVE REUNION. With the new year came new and increasing interest in the "Poro" Agents' Club of St. Louis, and recent reports from a number of "Poro" clubs in other cities are significant of the far-reaching interest manifested. The St. Louis. "Poro" Club holds its meetings the first Monday evenings in each month at 6 o'clock. The aim of the club is, as it is of all the other "Poro" clubs throughout the country, to render material as well as financial aid to each "Poro" agent, which will enable her to give efficient service to every "Poro" patron. After the transaction of business a short time is spent in becoming better acquainted with the co-workers and enjoying the novelties of the season. At the January meeting each agent was to have costumed her birth month. From January 28th to February 2nd will be given to the "Poro" agents in St. Louis for a general review in "Poro" system at the "Poro" College. Luncheon will be served each day, at which time topics to promote the welfare of the system and club will be discussed. After the February business meeting will be the Mardi Gras, with Valentine novelties, to which each agent will be permitted to have one guest accompany her.

The St. Augustine Holy Name Society met on January 16th, J. I. Jackson presiding. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Roll-call showed 485 members. Rev. Paul Griffith addressed the meeting, thanking the society for the aid towards the $10,000 rally now going on. The following officers were elected: President, Prof. T. W. Turner; vicepresident, Daniel W. Spriggs; recording secretary, Wm. J. Smith; financial secretary and treasurer, Joseph A. Wade; marshal, William Prater; delegates, J. I. Jackson and J. M. Brown. The following members of the society have been called to serve their country: Capt. Clarence Davis, Capt. Albert Ridgely, First Lieut. Frederick Hunt, Second Lieut. Vinson Thomas, Sergt. Frank Garner, Sergt. George Johnson, Sergt. Chas. Plummer, Corporals Augustus Garner, Welton Worsey and Joseph Settlers, Privates William Brown, William Ford and B. Tony. Prayers were said for Prof. Olds. BETHEL LITERARY. James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., made a very interesting address before the Bethel Literary last Tuesday evening. He painted a vivid picture of the social unrest of the world, styling it a struggle for democracy, the awakening of the conscience of the people and their demand for part in the government under which they live. He stated that no submerged class has ever obtained relief from its oppressors unless that class made demand for relief, and that no such demand is ever heeded except it represent organized effort on the part of the oppressed. The Negro is part of the submerged class, and he pointed to the N. A. A. C. P. as the one organization available to us with machinery ready, to make effective demand. It needs larger membership to make more potent its influence, and he urged a campaign which would run the enrollment from the 10,000 at which it now stands to 100,000 members. Solos were very acceptably rendered by Miss M. A. Harris and Mr. Frank Johnson. The address was discussed by Prof. George W. Cook and Judge R. H. Terrell. Much interest was manifested in an announcement by the president that on next Tuesday evening replies would be made to the charge that for a period of ten years, from 1889 to 1899, no colored man graduated from the city high school who reflected credit upon the race. This charge was brought to the attention of the Literary by Rev. D. DeWitt Turpeau, who, with Dr. C. A. Wright, Mr. George H. Murray and Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, will discuss the matter. Dr. C. Sumner Wormley will sing. URGES NATIONAL UNITY. Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense Holds Important Sessions-Gov. Harring- Baltimore, Md.—The Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense, Dr. Ernest Lyon, chairman, held a State-wide meeting here in Baltimore on Wednesday of this week, January 16th. The entire day was given up to the business of the Council, ending at night with a great public patriotic meeting. The day meetings were held at the Sharp Street M. E. Church. At 11 o'clock the Men's Division held its session, and at 3:30 o'clock the Women's Division held its meeting, Miss Ida R. Cummings in the chair. At 8 o'clock in the evening a public meeting was held at Albaugh's Theatre, Charles and Preston Streets. The Commonwealth Concert Band gave a concert from 7.45 to 8. The principal speakers at this meeting were His Excellency Governor Emerson C. Harrington, Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, and Dr. John H. Latane, Professor of History at the Johns Hopkins University. A detachment of soldiers from the national army cantonment at Camp Meade was present as guests of the evening. The Peerless Singing Society of Baltimore and the Morgan College Glee Club rendered musical selections during the evening. Every seat was occupied when the exercises began, one of the most brilliant audiences ever assembled in Baltimore having come together to voice loyal and patriotic support of the Government in its war aims. Mr. Scott, who came to Baltimore by special detail from Secretary of War Baker, upon request of the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense, was warmly received when he arose to speak, following Dr. Lyon's eloquent address of introduction, and spoke in part as follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Our country, your country and mine, has joined hands with other militant nations and governments to make the world safe for democracy and to make democracy safe for the world. Our great Government is expecting that every man, woman and child will do his or her full part. No longer are men and women called to do their bit—they must do more than their bit. They must now give, if it be necessary, to the last ungrudging ounce of their energy and their skill in warfare, and of their money or other resources, that they may not, in the end, be called upon ti give, not their bit, but their all. "We are engaged in a great struggle, testing whether this nation, dedicated to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, shall perish from the earth. If we would accomplish our purpose, national unity must prevail. "Sectionalism must be relegated to the rear; class feeling must be obliterated; a great surging common will- WASHINGTON ingness must prevail. The North, the South, the East and the West, each must sink his sectional feeling. Neither classes nor masses nor races nor creeds nor the color of men's skin are to be counted at a time like this, when a great nation is at war with a defiant foe. A common task demands a sinking of all, of everything, except patriotic zeal, if we are to conquer. Unity of feeling, community of interest, must dominate, if we are to put forth our fullest power and achieve that victory for which we are struggling. "The Maryland Council of Defense, composed of white men and white women and colored men and colored women, has recognized the truth of these basic ideas. Its idealized purpose is to utilize to the extremest limit, if necessary, every resource of money and materials of the State, counting no unit of the population of so little value as not to be taken into full account during these days of national peril." Before the meeting at Albaugh's Theatre a banquet was tendered in Mr. Scott's honor at Pythian Castle by the executive committee of the Colored Division, the arrangements being in charge of Mr. Charles Shipley, the well-known caterer. Following the meeting Dr. and Mrs. Ernest Lyon invited some forty or more representative Baltimoreans to meet Mr. Scott at their residence, at which Mr. Shipley again served a most delightful repast. TWO-YEAR COURSE Recommended in the Armstrong Manual Train School. Washington, Jan..16, 1918. Board of Education, I have the honor to recommend the re-establishment of a two-year course at the Armstrong Manual Training School. This course is to be styled the two year industrial course. It will be open to students only of high school grade. It will articulate with the regular four-year course of the school. The content of the course is set forth in detail on page 2 of the enclosed report and recommendation prepared at my request by the principal of Armstrong, Mr. R. I. Vaughn. As contrasted with the former two-year course operated at this institution, the present course seems to me distinctly superior. The basis difference, perhaps, lies in the fact that the maximum number of periods per week assigned to shop work under the previous course was eight; whereas, under the present course, major shop work requires fifteen hours per week. It should be said that the two-year course previously operated at Armstrong was closed with a view to providing a nucleus of students for the Cardozo Vocational School. But Cardozo has now become primarily a prevocational school, with an assured attendance from the elementary schools. The especial occasion for now reopening a two-year course at Armstrong is the fact that the total enrollment of the institution has fallen considerably. This is due, without doubt, to two factors—the attractiveness of the new Dunbar High School, and, more potent, the high wages for young men and women of the most modest and imperfect technical training, brought about by war conditions. The reopening of a two-year course will, in my judgment, substantially increase the total enrollment of Armstrong, thus effecting a more thorough utilization of the expensive plant and equipment. The fact is that innumerable young men and young women of high school age and grade who are now employed in public and private work ought to profit by the opportunities for part-time training thus offered. My thought is to have this two-year industrial course begin on the first day of the second semester of 1917-18. For this special group of students, the school day will close not at 2.30 p. m., but at 3.15 p. m. Respectfully submitted, E. L. Thurston, Superintendent of Schools. Requested by Roscoe C. Bruce, Asst...Supt. of Schools. Prepared by Principal R. I. Vaughn of Armstrong Manual Training School. The two-year course, which was so successfully operated at the Armstrongs Manual Training School for the period 1901-12 is to be reopened there on February 1. It will not be in any sense a parallel course to those now given in the vocational schools, the intent of the educational administration being to attract to the school the following classes of pupils: (a) eight grade graduates who are deterred from entering the high school through financial inability to meet the expense of a four-year course; (b) motor-minded pupils entering the high schools and remaining, on an average, for two years; (c) those who are likely at the end of a two-year course to remain for an additional two years; (d) those who must complete a practical high school course in two years; (e) boys desiring to obtain practical shop experience before entering the Navy Yards as apprentices. It is hoped that the re-establishment of the course will prove a valuable contribution by the school administration to the problem of meeting our present demands for apprentices and first-class helpers in the local industries, as well as enabling its graduates to cope effectively with rising cost of maintenance. Requirements for admission will be graduation from an eighth grammar grade and successful completion of the prevocational work of the sixth, seventh and eighth grammar grades. Pupils now in the high schools, however, may be transferred to this course for reasons which meet the approval of the school authorities. At the end of the course a two-year diploma will be awarded to those making satisfactory grades in the required work, but should a two-year student desire it, his work will be credited on a four-year course. An examination of the prescribed course of study reveals that over 50 per cent of the whole thirty-five hours a week of instruction will be devoted to practical work, and the remainder to closely correlated work in mathematics, civics, English and general science. While all the work is prescribed, within the shop groups are allowed elections. The course as outlined will provide instruction as follows: First Year—English (5), Shop mathematics (5) (applied algebra and geometry), general science (5), freehand or mechanical drawing or shop minor (5), shop major (15). Second Year—English (5), shop mathematics (5) (applied mathematics and elementary bookkeeping), civics (5), freehand or mechanical drawing or shop minor (5), shop major (15). The numbers in parenthesis refer to hours per week. Shop Instruction—One of the following majors and a correlated minor. Major—Carpentry, machine shop, engineering (stationary), applied electricity, freehand, mechanical or architectural drawing, printing, sewing, cooking, millinery. Minor—Machine drawing, machine or carpentry shop, or freehand drawing. GASKINS' NEW DEPARTURE. Opens an Up-to-Date Cafe and Lunch Which the City Has Needed for Years. Mr. A. J. Gaskins, the popular owner and proprietor of the famous cafe and buffet at 320 Eighth Street, between Pennsylvania Avenue and D Street N.W., has reopened at the above address a first-class cafe and grill and private dining rooms for the colored residents of the Capital City and visitors, where lunches, meals, refreshments and soft drinks of all varieties are served; respectively, on the European plan and at moderate prices. What formerly was the buffet has been scientifically remodeled, thoroughly renovated and artistically dec- Read The Bee if you want to know who is in the city. orated and transformed into an elegant, commodious and well-appointed cafe, which opens into a secondary dining room and grill, where quick lunches, sandwiches and all of the new drinks are served. The proprietor, according to his usual custom, has spared no pains, labor or expense to make this establishment second to none in the United States, in keeping with his motto: "The best is not too good for his patrons." The service is up to date in every particular, being rendered by a first-class chef and polite, courteous and experienced waiters and attendants. All of our exchanges, magazines, periodicals and journals are especially requested to give publicity to this announcement, for the benefit of the thousands of colored citizens who annually visit the Nation's Capital. The location is convenient to the Capital Traction Company and the Washington Railway and Electric Company's cars, being only a square north, east and west therefrom in the downtown business section of the city. This is what the city has needed for years—a place, where ladies and gentlemen who are strangers in the city may go and be at home and where the service is first class. HOWARD THEATRE. "Her Unborn Child" Will Be the Attraction Next Week. It is the desire of every dramatist to write of the big human questions of life. Every author believes that he is the man with a message to deliver, and so Mr. Barnes submits a new drama of discussion, "Her Unborn Child," which deals with birth control, with a few words of explanation. The subject of birth control is one of the questions of the hour—with the author it has been a study of several years. He has been associated in the laboratories of the best physicians, witnessed some most startling maternity cases, and it was during a tour of inspection that the story of his play—and it is a gripping heart story, with a big moral lesson—was discovered. The author has endeavored to deal with a big subject seriously and in a dignified manner; to show the truth and tear aside the cloak of hypocrisy, for there is no innocence in ignorance, and only by education can the slaughter of the unborn be stopped. He has brought with "Her Unborn Child" a message of hope to human kind in trying to keep the feet of youth from wandering into the streets of vacillation, and if only one out of ten can be brought to realize, then he has accomplished much: "Her Unborn Child" is more vital than the name implies, for if plays and writings of this kind had not appeared the slaughter of the innocents of Biblical history would be a flea bite to what our modern killing would have been. "Her Unborn Child" is not a preachment, but a drama full of stirring situations and full of action, and ranks with the best dramas of our day; nevertheless it teaches a lesson that in a short time has stirred the country to such a state that a lot of so-called men and women with ideas of birth control were sent to jail, but not until they had tried to stop the performances of the above play, which is teaching the public at large that the so-called birth control propagandists were nothing else but agents for a syndicate of money-grabbing vultures. ATTORNEY BULLOCK HERE. Attorney Matthew W. Bullock, of Dartmouth, College and Harvard University football fame, while on a week-end trip from Camp Meade, Md., where he is now engaged in Y. M. C. A. work, was the guest at breakfast on last Sunday morning of Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Ford, of 407 T Street, N.W. Messrs. Ford and Bullock were formerly associated together in the practice of law in the State of Oklahoma and in Boston, Mass. REMOVED. Attorney A. W. Gray has moved his offices from 639 F Street N.W. to 503 E Street N.W., where he will be pleased to see his friends. SHE MOVIE SCENARIO For the Great Washington Movie Picture Completed. Marc Edmund Jones, of New York, the famous scenario writer, has completed his scenario for the big Washington movie picture. The title is "The Loyalty of a Race." The picture will be a three-reel film, with 120 different scenes. It will show the splendid loyalty of the colored race to this country, and will offer splendid opportunity for the men and women selected for the characters to be represented to display fine interpretation of their parts. The scenario provides for seventeen characters in the cast, and will include many local Washington scenes, many street gatherings of colored people, several hundred people in each. It will also show the colored soldiers in training camps in this country, and show them with a display of valor that will enthuse; going "over the top" in France; show them fighting like heroes in the effort "to make the world safe for democracy"; show some falling in battle with face to the enemy; show them in hospitals; wounded, and nursed by colored nurses, and then-show them pressing on into Berlin, and then the return of the heroes to America. The first scene will show the chief characters in a humble but immaculately neat home; at honest toil, and then, as the picture proceeds, they rise to the sublime. It will prove to be one of the most attractive, courage-showing, valor-displaying films ever shown—full of pathos, relieved by fine humor, and set with thrilling, startling, hair-raising situations. When shown in Washington, and it is hoped to have it ready for showing by February 5th, two beautiful silver trophy cups are to be presented, one each to the lady and gentleman who best interprets his or her character, according to the decision of those viewing the picture. Each admission ticket will be accompanied by a voting coupon on which can be recorded the vote of the holder. REV. TURPEAU'S STATISTICS. Whoever furnished Rev. DeWitt Turpeau, who addressed the Bethel Literary last Tuesday night, statistics on the condition of the Washington colored boy from 1889 to 1899, must have been crazy. Rev. Turpeau should have made a personal investigation before he gave utterance, to such a slander on the colored boys of Washington during the periods named by him. The Bee will call his attention to the colored boys in his particular section and convince him that some of the most progressive young men in the country lived and operated in West Washington. In fact, old Georgetown had some brilliant young men. There were the Cornells, the Fleets, the Turners, the Beasons and hundreds of others. Taking the center of this city, The Bee can name Dr. Samuel Le Count Cook, Ella Jones, the son of the late Alfred Jones, Dr. John W. Francis, the Contees, John and George, Capt. James Perry, Aldridge Lewis, Fred Moore, now editor of the New York Age, the Fishers and hundreds of others. None of these men were corner loafers. They all came from the leading families in this city and through their own efforts they reached the heights of good citizenship. Rev. Turpeau's statistical informant must have been in his incubator during the years of 1889 to 1899. The native Washington boys always worked and were always industrious. If Rev. Turpeau had said that the loafers were those who lived on cornbread and hash in other States and came to this city, he may be near the truth. CAPTAIN GREEN HERE Captain Will Green, of Cleveland, just recently retired on recommendation of the Army Board that passed on his physical condition, was in the city for several days this week. Captain Green came up from Newport News, Va., where he had been stationed with his regiment, the 372nd, and was joined here by his wife. SATURDAY SERMONS BY UNUS In my last sermon I gave two illustrations showing the law and operation of the two kinds of hazards, or chances, with which some folks associate "luck," viz: the game of turning up a card and the game of tossing heads and tails. I showed that the result in the former operation is due to real causes more or less known, more or less ascertainable, chance playing a part only to the extent that there is no physical control. I showed that the result of the latter operation (usually very risky) is a typical case of pure chance (blind chance), and that "luck" does not play any part in the result. Incidentally I pointed out that if an even chance hazard is repeated very many times under the same conditions, the hazard or risk is reduced to a minimum, because the gains and losses about even up. Now comes Mr. John Doe and says: "No one ever places a thousand stakes on a single game; most people take only one chance or a very few chances on the same game. Some win, some do not; hence, some men are lucky and some are not." Mr. Doe goes on to say: "The storms destroyed Bill Smith's house three times, whilst Sam Jones, who lives in the same township, never suffered such a loss; therefore, the one was unlucky, the other lucky." Answer: Mr. John Doe is right or wrong according to his definition of "lucky." When he says "This man was lucky," what does he mean? As the proposition stands, it means nothing. It is a "fallacy of confusion." A man should define a questionable term before using it in a cocksure proposition. Either Mr. Doe means that the man was predestined to win or simply that his success was known after the event. The example of the storms is not an example of pure chance, for we are not sure that the causes could not have been predicted or controlled. Some localities are more subject to hurricanes or tornadoes than others; all men do not build houses equally strong. If Bill Smith tosses the coin once and wins, or tosses it three times and wins two out of three, the only practical interest we can have in the event is a historical interest. Whatever there is about luck is not a notion of futurity, but of result. Even if the event had been predestined, as it possibly was, that fact would have been of no value, since it was not known to Bill Smith or anyone else, and it is certain, that Bill could have made no use of this destiny in advance. As that destiny could not have been predicted, so it could not have been controlled—not by prayer or incantation or the rabbit's foot. As shown by Mr. John Stuart Mill, all even chances or hazards are governed, by a fixed law when repeated a great number of times—they even up. Theoretically, when a coin is thrown repeatedly, head should turn up every other time, but, as a matter of fact, it does not; it will sometimes come six or seven times in succession before tail turns up. And as often tail plays the same trick. Mr. Doe thinks this is associated with luck. It is simply caprice of chance, and the only certain thing about it is its uncertainty. It is sufficient to know that heads will about equal tails in the long run—they average about the same. Therefore, in the average of the total there is no great risk. The great risk is in the single hazard or very few hazards. The game of heads and tails is one of the "even chance" games. There are few such hazards or risks in real life or business, and we are seldom able to know when a hazard is an even chance or not. Nearly every step we take in life is a hazard. So far as the operation of the law of chances is concerned, it does not matter much, whether the chances are even or not; but the difference of chances require a difference of procedure. Except in the rarest cases, I ought not to take any chance unless I know the odds to be in my favor. This is the very essence of wise venture. But it is often impossible to exercise such foresight with certainty. Cautiously I buy a bag of chestnuts; half of them may be wormy. Cautiously I buy a horse; he may have the glanders. Cautiously I buy a house; it may rapidly go down in But I should never take any important step without mature calculation and expert advice. And if I knowingly take a long chance, for example, where the odds are two to one against me, I ought to demand a price accordingly—demand odds or a reduced price. The ordinary affairs of life are determined by two main factors, viz: by the caprice of chance and by our own foresight and diligence. We can do nothing to control the caprice of chance or fortune, but we can do much to forestall or offset it, as we do when we insure our life or house or take good security when making a loan. Aladdan's lamp is a fable; the rabbit's foot is punk. They are the fool's luck. WISDOM OF THE BEE. Treachery is only momentary. Ingratitude is bound to find its level. Vanity is only found in the weak mind, and the weak person so opens his eyes. Never believe all you hear. There's always two sides to all questions. Both may be wrong, or one may be right and the other wrong. An honest man is fearless in his utterances against wrong. Trimmers and apologists are found among the weak. Never practice deception, because you may deceive yourself. A murderer cannot hide his crime, although the wrong man is hanged sometimes. Dress neither makes a man nor woman. It may add to his or her appearance momentarily. * * * Don't believe, all that is said to you. Utterances are full of deception sometimes. * * * The weak man or woman will often fall for flattery. That is catching his or her weakness, says Lord Chesterfield. * * * Don't talk against another person because he or she looks better than yourself. Deception wins sometimes, but not always. Sooner or later you are found out. * * * Attending church regularly is no evidence that you believe in God. TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW LONG There are so many so-called hairgrowers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In decidir; what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks, with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough oleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Ointment, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 70 East 130th St. New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper. PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES.

Washington, D. C. COAL DIVERSIONS TO MEET EMERGENCIES. To overcome the hardships of the recent frigid weather thousands of cars of coal have been diverted while en route, under, orders from the Fuel Administration. Demands coming from Cincinnati for coal for use of hospitals, hotels and domestic use resulted in the diversion of from 150 to 300 cars. Seven hundred and fifty cars, halted behind. Pennsylvania congestion, were forwarded to New England for distribution, while 500 cars from same source were taken for the use of the United States Shipping Board. Three boat loads of bituminous coal at Toledo have been turned over to Michigan authorities for distribution. Urgent demands in North Carolina were taken care of when 300 cars were diverted while in transit to Hampton Roads, where weather conditions were hampering the loading into vessels. Four hundred cars from Western West Virginia, were diverted for local distribution in Ohio. --- MOST OF THEM ARE KILLED Big Price Being Paid for the World's Future Security — Money Cost Nearly $175,000,000 a Day— Capital Cut Down. By FREDERIC J. HASKIN. (Correspondent of the Chicago News.) Washington, D. C.—The figures relating to the cost of this war are stupendous beyond the power of the hu- mor mind to compass. man mind to compass. The number of men killed in battle has been between 7,500,000 and 8,000,000. Offsetting the number of deaths which would have occurred in times of peace, it is safe to set the war loss at more than 7,000,000 men. This is about one man in twenty for each year of the whole number mobilized. The figures are large, but, they are based on the greatest armies the world has ever seen. Moreover, the death rate has been falling steadily throughout the war, as methods more economical of human life are adopted and hospital efficiency increases. The well-prepared nations lose least. Russia has suffered 'cagualties disproportionately large' because in the first year of the war her troops were sent to the front poorly supported by artillery and sometimes literally unarmed. On the western front the French losses were heaviest for the first two years, but as England takes over the bulk of the fighting, her casualties increase and those of France fall off. Total of 5,250,000 Disabled. In addition to the dead, the permanently disabled total about 5,250,000 men. Thus the net loss in men amounts to about 13,000,000. There have probably been about 10,000,000 men less seriously wounded in such a way that they have either been returned to the front or able to pursue some useful occupation in civil life. some useful realization of the meaning of these totals may be gleaned, from the reflection that the dead and the totally disabled equal more than half the able-bodied men in the United States. The money cost is a vastly more confusing problem. The total is beyond all comparison with any national debts, loans or expenditures of the past. At the beginning of the war the cost of $30,000,000 a day. It was predicted Europe could not stand it for six months. Now, well along in the fourth year, the cost is nearly $175,000,000 a day and there are no signs of a financial breakdown. signs of a human It has become increasingly evident that lack of "money" will never make any nation surrender. As long as suf- cient economic resources actually ex- ist in the shape of men and munitions, food and beasts and iron and steel, so long can the nation in question con- tinue to make war. In looking for a German breakdown the eye should turn not toward the absurdly depreciated German mark, but toward what Germany has left in men and food and steel. steel. Its Future Mortgaged. This is because a nation can mortgage its future like a man who enters a shop with empty pockets and pays for goods with signed notes pledging the labor of his children. The world's debt since the war has increased by $90,000,000,000. The total cost has exceeded this figure by at least $15,000,000,000, the difference representing the amount levied in taxes in excess of the interest requirements. It is easy to see that if all the interest is paid to people living in the United States, and the principal at the end of the term also paid to residents in the United States, the United States as a nation is no weaker financially for having borrowed $20,000,000 than if it had never borrowed a cent. Such enormous loans will probably effect a redistribution of wealth, for the interest charges will be met by taxation, and provision made for a sinking fund in the same way. By redistributing this taxation wisely and equitably, the end of the period that the Liberty bonds have to run may well see a more efficient balance of wealth than the present. wealth than the pro- As in reckoning war strength, the basic realities of the problem are economic rather than financial. Such part of the great war loans as is invested in convertible factories, in increase of food production and similar real assets, cannot be regarded as lost. On the other hand, the dollars that are spent for shells which explode and ships that sink are lost in fact. World's Capital Cut Down. Moreover, the cost in dollars is no measure of the real economic cost of the war, because it takes no account of the enormous destruction of property that has taken place. This represents a cutting into the capital of the world. The sinking, of millions of tons of shipping, the destruction of cities, the ravaging of farm lands, the deterioration of industrial equipment in the last three years, are only a few of the items that must be charged to this account. One huge item is the labor of 55,000,000 men who have been taken completely from productive occupations. Even reckoning their value to industry at the moderate sum of $1 a day, in four years of war the industrial loss mounts up to $75,000,000,000. There is no disposition on the part of the allies to begrudge the expenditure. It is the highest price that has ever been paid in history for anything but the thing purchased is security for the application of these same forces to peaceful aims in the future. It is literally true that the men and money spent in this war could have transformed the earth. They could have established universal sanitation, universal education, eliminated barbarism and savagery, reclaimed all the waste lands, established communications by rail and steam with every corner of the globe, and brought the millennium nearer by a long stride. At least, the human race has ceased to be awed by the magnitude of any project. In the hell of war, men have learned that no task is too great for them, and that is a thought worth carrying into times of peace. A WAR PRAYER By James Waterman Wise of the Vigilantes. Father, we beseech thee Guard our boys tonight. Keep, we pray, their footsteps On the paths of right. We have sent them gladly, For the fight is just, Yea, their cause is holy, Glorious their trust. Hold their fates, O Father, In thy wondrous hand, Bring, them back, if may be, Back to grace our land. For we loved them dearly But our path was clear; Honor bade us send them, Father, be thou near! But if they must leave us, If it be thy will, Father, we implore thee, Guide and guard them still. PUTS OFF THE UNPATRIOTIC Jitney Driver Will Not Take Fare From Persons Who Talk Against America. Nashville, Mich.—German sympathizers would, sure have a hard time getting about the country if all common carriers adopted the rule that Roy Wolfe has put into effect on his jitney bus. If he hears any one voicing opposition to America while riding with him, off he or she goes, to, walk the rest of the journey. He has only one arm, the other being taken off at the shoulder, but he put off two men the other day, and offered to lick them both in the bargain. bargain. Wolfe runs a jitney from here to Coldwater by way of Battle Creek and Union City, and though that is the way he makes his living he has the grit to refuse fares from unpatriotic people. CANDY WITHOUT SUGAR Copyright Berkshire & Sussex Mary Elizabeth Evans, has solved the problem of making the candies without using large quantities of sugar which is so scarce, by the substitution of honey, molasses, maple sugar fruits, nuts, raisins and chocolate. Miss Evans recently visited Mr Hoover, federal food administrator, his assistant, Doctor Wilbur and Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Doctor Taylor and two important facts have been the result. One is that the human being needs sweets, and that they can be made just as tasty with the use of the substitutes mentioned above. Caught Tame Golden Eagle Aurora, Ind.-John L. Lube, a Clay township farmer, caught a large golden eagle in a steel trap that he had set on his farm to catch chicken hawks that had been raiding his chicken flock. The eagle evidently had escaped from some show; as it appeared to be very tame and permitted Mr. Lube to dress its injured leg after he had removed the bird from the trap and placed it, in a large cage. Mr. Lube has presented the eagle to the Zoological Garden at Cincinnati.

It is unnecessary for the Government to employ sleuths to trail and follow and spy on colored people to discover whether or not there are traitors to country among them. It is absolutely a waste of public funds, or rather would be, to employ men, even colored men, for such work. Money thus expended could be expended with far greater profit in employing Secret Service men to follow up and investigate alien enemies who must be far too numerous here. Should the Government employ a colored man to take note of what colored people are saying or doing that might prove traitorous, the colored man so employed, if employed, did he but have but a thimble full of gray matter in his cranium, would know that he would be drawing money from the Government under false pretenses, for, if a colored man, he would know his race sufficiently well to know that his people possess no traitors, never did harbor a traitor, and NEVER WILL produce one. In all the race's two hundred and fifty years of oppression—when it was enslaved—treated with less feeling than a master treats his dog; in the years of the Reconstruction period, when the Ku Klux Klan terrorized the South, murdered colored people with impunity, ran them down and killed them like a sportsman hunts and kills wild game, the race never produced a Benedict Arnold or a John Wilkes Booth. In these years that have followed Reconstruction, during which, in one section, the race has been denied the right of suffrage, the Constitution explicitly confers has been, and is today, discriminated against in every part of the country, and in every department of the Government; in these latter days when the uniform of an American soldier, if worn by a colored man, neither commands respect nor makes him an immune, in some sections, against insult, discrimination and segregation, thank God, the colored race has never produced a Gitteau, a Czolgoz, an I. W. W., a plotter against this Government, or even a soldier-garbed robber of a bank and murderer of the custodians of the funds of a bank. Colored men, colored women, may mumble against the seemingly almost unendurable discrimination they are forced to contend against in the Army and Navy, in the Government and private service; they may even, goaded on by rank injustice, at times speak out boldly and defiantly against great wrongs, but there is absolutely no danger of any colored man becoming a plotter against this—his Government, a thrower of bombs, a dynamiter, a fire-brand to set on fire Government and private storehouses and manufacturing plants, nor will he unfurl and wave the red flag of anarchy. There is a traditional loyalty about the colored race which makes it an immune to traitorous acts, to the work of the assassins of Presidents, to the suggestions of the dynamiter, and to bribes which might be offered by despicable pimps in the employ of alien enemies. There is absolutely no need for this Government to employ sleuths—colored or white—to watch the colored man. His eagerness to do yeoman and valiant service in the United States Army, although discriminated against; his eagerness to enter the United States Navy, where, for him, there has always existed a dead line for ambition; his eagerness to lend the Government, money—his hard-earned money—which comes in small installments, by investing in Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps, proves beyond the peradventure of a doubt that the word "loyalty" and the term "colored race" are synonymous. No race or class living under the Stars and Stripes and owing allegiance to the flag can or WILL show greater loyalty to this country in this war than the colored race—a race that has proved itself—during the long injustice burdened past—ABSOLUTELY DEPENDABLE and ABSOLUTELY LOYAL. There is no need to watch our race. Watch the white man—he craves for tainted gold. A PUBLIC FORUM. Recently we spoke of the public forum, and showed how and why the colored newspaper, The Bee, in Washington, constitutes the main public forum for the colored people. But something more is needed among the colored people of Washington. We need also a forum of flesh and blood, men and women. We do not recall a time in the last forty, years when there seemed to be so much stagnation of public spirit, such a low ebb of public interest among our people. When we survey the entire field it is difficult to identify a single institution or movement that is widely supported and that has for its object the common advancement of our people. The spirit seems to be "every man for himself, and the devil catch the hindmost." What are the churches doing in this direction? What the secret societies? What the few social organizations? Take, for example, the Boolay, that most aristocratic of them all, composed of the creme de la creme, the savants. We don't even know the true reason for its existence. It never sends out any message to poor Cuffy. Take the Mu-So-Lit, that group of literary thirsty. They meet periodically and recite "Mary had a little lamb," and "Sparticus to the Gladiators," so we hear; but they seem to be bent solely on individual self-help. Take the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, the most noteworthy of them all. Its meetings are poorly attended; few great movements ever take their birth from its councils. The famous Assembly of twenty-five years ago is as dead as a doorhail, and even the commendable spirit of it, the sweet aroma, is gone. Gone, gone, and nothing to take ita place. Recently we have heard of several new movements—the Commercial Exchange, the Commercial Study Club, the Art Society, the Sengalese, but we note no "phenomenal strides" in the case of any of them. What is the matter with colored Washington? There have been times in the history of Europe and the different nations thereof when public spirit and public taste became decadent. Those were dark ages or periods. It took some great man or group of men to arouse them. Never was there a field so ripe for a great reformer than exists today in Washington—yes, a great general—a man of the mold of Martin Luther or Napoleon. In the absence of such a man, a colored Billy Sunday would be a blessing. No, we are not speaking of the need of a religious revival. We want a business revival. No, we are not speaking of some peanut politician with an axe to grind. We need a man of broad views and sympathies—a man with a tongue of fire and "filled with the spirit," who will tread every rostrum in Washington and recall the people from the false gods of indifference and inactivity. The colored people of Washington ought to have a great central forum or agora where that great prophet can be seen and heard, and where new prophets could be inspired and trained to lead the people. Why not fix upon the auditorium of the Dunbar High School as such a forum and have, weekly speakings there? The time of oppression is drawing to a close. Wrong against a race of people who are not guilty of committing any wrong against their Government is drawing to a close, so don't let us lament. We cannot battle against superior strength, or for a law in which we take no part in making. It is so hard to read in the public press hundreds of innocent men and women lynched and there is no one with manly courage enough to stop it. So don't let us lament, because "sorrow never could revive the dead, so we must weep in vain." We are a part of this great Government, and we must fight to defend its flag against foreign invasion. Wrong against right and justice will cease some day, so don't let us lament. No wrong can continue to exist when you are in the right. Right is bound to triumph some day, although its pathway may seem long. God's hand and spirit are in the battle of the righteous. There is a God in Israel. As the Turks were driven out of Jerusalem, so will Ethiopia stretch forth her hands again unto the God who rules the destinies of nations. During this long and bloody conflict let there not be a traitor among us. Discrimination, segregation, prejudice and lynching are triumphant. They cannot continue, so don't let us lament. There is a God who will not desert the upright. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. seems to be about the only active colored organization in Washington that is fulfilling its noble mission with commendable success. This is due to three main causes: it has an able president who is exactly fitted for his position; it has an able and active executive committee; the subjects to which the association address itself are of intense interest to thoughtful and self-respecting colored people. Speed the N. A. A. C. P. Whereas it has less than than one thousand members in Washington, it should have five thousand. But, as it was said, "man cannot live by bread alone," so it can be said: man cannot live by spirit alone. We need a diversity of carnest and energetic activities among our people in Washing ton. The local N. A. A. C. P could well be taken as a model for any new line of public activity. It is to be hoped that the trained individual members of that body will consider the wisdom of assisting in all other essential activities. One of our Subscribe for The Bee now..

TORPEDOED SHIP HAS LIVELY TIMES The Armenia Arrives With Hole in Her Side. A THRILLING EXPERIENCE Washington.—With a great hole blown in her side by one torpedo, with her crews at their guns and ordered to watch for another torpedo, and with flour in her hold forming a sort of bulkhead, the steamship Armenia, in a midnight attack, made her way to a point of safety and saved all her men and the greater part of her cargo. Exciting incidents of the attack were made public by Secretary of the Navy Daniels, taken from the report of the commander of the vessel. Chief Boatwain's Mate Stief Hamlaw, U. S. N., in charge of the crew, is commended by the Secretary for maintained discipline and devotion to duty. The Armenia, under convoy, was proceeding through the war zone, when, at midnight, the wirelesss brought news of the torpedoing of another vessel in the zone. The commander of the gun crew ordered his men to keep a sharp lookout, to avoid the use of speaking tubes and call to the bridge if a submarine were sighted. "With my binoculars," the commander of the guard reports, "I picked up a light on the port beam. I sang out to the mate but got no answer. I called a second time. Just as the words came from my mouth I saw a large stream of water and rubbish shoot into the air, about 150 feet; a shot came forward. I imagined I saw one of our gun platforms go up into the air and I got to thinking of the three men on watch who must have been blown into the air with it. The first words I got out of my mouth wore 'My God; she is hit!' "The captain of the ship came out of the chart house just at this time and I made a rush for the alarm bell, after telling the mate to shut down the engines. All the gun crews were told to stick to their guns and look for a second torpedo and not to wait for orders to fire if anything came in sight. Running down the port ladder I met one of the officers of the ship who exclaimed 'Why does not some one stop the engine?' "It was my intention then to go down into the engine room myself when I noticed spot lights blinking about the decks and a scramble for the boats. Only a few were excited, in fact, the majority were cool. I shouted to keep the spotlights off or we would get a second torpedo, and I also told them not to mind the boats but save the ship. "About this time the engine room force started back below. Then the captain sang out: 'If there is no water in the engine room we can beach the ship.' "This assured me that everything was all right and I went to the bridge to get my pistol and papers. The captain followed me and he telegraphed full speed ahead, adding that it was his belief that we could beach the ship. Seeing the captain had on his life preserver I threw off my ralncoat and arctics and went to my room and got my life preserver. "Coming back to the bridge we saw that the men from some of the lookout posts were getting ready the boats and that the armed guards were standing by their guns. They were furnished with lights for the boats and a lot of heavy clothing was thrown in. Orders were given to lower the boats and also to cast off the life rafts. "After making an inspection of the damage I went to the captain and again told him that I thought we could make it, if there was no second torpedo. The boats by this time had put off from the ship. Seeing that we were underway an officer in the boat yelled to us to throw him a line so that he could come back on board with the men in the boat, but there was no time to stop. A destroyer came alongside and picked up the men, letting the boats go adrift. "A collision mat, with weights and canvas, had been placed over the torpeded hole. Flour in the hold had formed skin, that kept the water from going forward, though it had flooded the icebox and storerooms. The explosion had knocked down three of the lockouts on the gun platform. The masthead lookouts slid down the backstays so fast I thought they had jumped from the crow's nest." Washington. — Formation of an American Legion of Honor has been disapproved by the Administration. Secretary Baker proposes instead a "distinguished service cross" and medals for distinguished service of those other than in the military. Raw Material Is Obtained From the Stock Yards and Is Manufactured by an Interesting Process. While perhaps most violinists know how the gut strings they use are manufactured, there may be those who are uninformed as to the manufacture of such strings. This may be explained in a few words. The gut D, A, and E strings are made from the intestines of the sheep. In the full grown, mature animal, such intestines are from 40 to 50 feet in length. The raw material is obtained from the stock yards, and is first thoroughly cleansed of all fat and flesh fiber, by dull knives arranged on a drum turned by a crank, says the Musician. The white and tough membrane that is left is then split by an expert in this work, by bringing it against the blade of a safety razor set upright in a table before the splitter. The material is thus split into seven strands. These strands are then spun together, and placed on frames where they are thoroughly dried. The E string of European make requires four strands, and the E string of American make six. The strands, at one end secured to an upright post, are twisted together while in a damp, pliable condition by means of a spinning wheel. After removal from the drying frames, the strings are cut in lengths, coiled and boxed in oilled paper for shipment. Very fine emery paper laid on a grooved aluminum block is used while the strings are still on the drying frames, by passing the covered block over the strings, as many strings being polished as there are grooves in the block. HOW-INDIANS CATCH SALMON Equipment Consisting of "Grab-Hooks" and Long Poles Is Crude But Very Effective. The Indians fish for salmon with a "grabhook," a large iron hook fastened to a pole by a loose cord three or four feet long. A hole at the blunt end of the hook that slips over the tip of the pole keeps it in place until the fish is hooked. Then the hook is pulled off the pole and the cord gives the fisherman a chance to play his fish is necessary before dragging it ashore. The hooks are made by the blacksmith, but the poles, about twenty feet in length, the Indians make themselves of red fir, the Southern Workman says. Taking a rough piece of dry wood of the required length, they patiently work at it with drawshave and knife until it is the right size and tapered to suit the workman. Then it is usually hardened in the coals before putting on the cord, which they braid themselves. If a pole breaks, as often happens, the broken parts are lashed together with string, pitch is smeeed over and melted by being rubbed with a hot stone, which makes the pole as strong as before. The Indians generally fish from the bank or from platforms built over the water. They thrust the long pole out across the river as far as they can and let the current carry it down and into the bank, trusting to chance and a quick jerk to hook the fish if they feel one in the water. Great Men Died Learning. Great Men Died Learning. It is well to remember that the very greatest men died learning, like Bacon and Pasteur. Socrates was entering old age when he drank the hemlock, but I do not think anyone would say that his last words were, therefore, of no worth. The greatest benefactions to humanity, the greatest services to human thought have not all been bestowed or rendered by men under twenty-five or even under forty years of age, a fact sometimes worthy of remembrance. Do not, then, fall victims to over-confidence and close your mind. The injunction is as important for youth as for age; easy of attainment for the former, difficult for the latter; possibly for both. The past and the present, youth and age, new and old, all have their place in the sun; all are needed for the widest learning, for the highest achievement, for the best development of mankind: Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.

And she was looking at the paintings in the Corcoran Gallery of Art through a gold-framed lorgnette, that dangled from a teewelled gold chain. Another woman was standing before a canvas, and, in a desire for information, or, perhaps, for the sake of social interchange, the lady of the lorgnette inquired, affably: "Is that a picture of the death of the Lord?"

In a Long Island village there used to be and still is a group of people who thought a good deal of each other in spite of what they said, which was frequently of an unsympathetic nature, according to the New York Sun. The group existed under various self-imposed names and had a semi-humorous motto which ran, "Pay, pray and peg away." All the members of this little association are still alive, kicking and goodnatured. Now seems an apt time to suggest that their motto be made public and urged for more general adoption.

WANTS TO SHINE SHOES FOR PERSHING'S ARMY Pueblo, Colo.—Thomas Price, twenty-seven, a legless bootblack here, wants the job of shining shoes for General Pershing's Sammles "over there." His crippled condition prevents him from entering the army, so he has written President Wilson, requesting that he be given a chance to "do his bit." "I am told that soldiers have to keep their boots polished," wrote Price, who conducts a shoe-shining parlor here, "and that they have to do it themselves. If you can make a place for me to do the shining for them I don't think you'll find me loafing on the job."

It was from a plantation near Bahia, so far as can be determined, that the budded trees were obtained through which the navel orange wood was introduced into the United States. Several were shipped to the United States department of agriculture. Trees were grown in the department greenhouses, and others propagated from them were distributed to California and Florida. The variety proved to be unsuited to Florida conditions, but in California it is very productive and highly valued. Almost the entire present planting of the variety in that state, according to a writer in the Scientific American, can be traced directly back to two of the trees sent there by the department of agriculture in 1873. Nation's Defense. The wealth of a nation must be defended as well as constructed. . . Even if the days of absolute conquest are past, there are yet a thousand liabilities to violent encroachment on the honor and rights of a people which they cannot be passive under without sacrificing a national spirit and well-nigh dissolving the bonds of government itself. But where lies the strength of a nation's defense? In such things as money purchases—ships, fortifications and magazines of war? No. The real public bulwarks of a nation are . . . public love, wisdom, and high command, attachment to home and bravery.—Horace Bushnell. Night Owls Are Safe.

SPIES TRAINED FROM BOYHOOD Secret Activities of German Women Told by Dr. Arthur Lynch, M. P. SYSTEM IS FAR REACHING Eyes of French People Suddenly Opened to Extent of the Organization and Its Studied and Elaborate Character. London—Dr. Arthur Lynch, M. P., writing under a Paris date to the Daily Chronicle on German spies in France, says: "In Marcel Prevost's Les Anges Gardiens' (The Guardian Angels, otherwise governesses) he deplicts an English governess who is fond of drink, an Italian whose beauty wins the affections of the son and heir, and a German, Meg by name—a jolly and attractive young woman, unembarrassed by moral scruples, but capable and shrewd. Meg is a spy, and her spying is the more dangerous for the fact that she is the 'guardian angel' of the daughter of the French war minister. "This story, written with a certain grace of style, set all France talking, and many a bourgeois family scrutinized with horror their stockish, stupid-looking but hardworking Westphallian maid, who knew little outside the small household and who, moreover, had conceived a real affection for the children. "I confess I was inclined to laugh at the spy scare, but some time before the war I used to meet on the staircase of a modest and quiet little private hotel the dame who stood for the original of Meg. She had an apartment adjoining mine. There was nothing about her appearance or her manners to attract attention. Meg had, in good German style, grown imposing though still attractive in the German fashion. "One evening, on returning to my rooms, I saw Meg's lady companion, a dragon looking person, camped on a chair on the landing near Meg's door, and presently three middle-aged gentlemen left Meg's rooms. Meg knew that the war was coming, and no doubt serious business was on hand that night. Abused by German Husband. "Parisians have become very suspicious of late, but the surprise was general nevertheless, when they discovered that their exotic favorite, Mata Hari, the Hindoo dancer, was a German spy. This lady with the ducky skin and flexible wrists and languorous graces of Eastern dancing women turned out to be a formidable paranage. At the age of seventeen she married a German who had obtained Dutch nationality in order to mask his spying work. The marriage was rather in the nature of a formal business transaction, but this did not prevent the one-time German officer from brutally ill-treating his young wife. "Nevertheless she entered into the spy system with zest, became duly registered and paid, amused and delighted Paris for some years with her audacious performances, became acquainted with various highly placed officials and politicians and found means, it is said, to make known to the Germans some of the most important French plans in the first months of the war. "Certainly it is absurd to find a spy in every German kitchen maid or hall porter or barber's apprentice, but eyes have been opened to the extent of the organization, its studied and elaborate character and the cleverness of the German spy system. "Here in Paris is a type very dif ferent from Meg, but one who employs the Megs as his agents—the count of W—'Old Adolph,' as he was familiarly called, half in affection and half in contempt. Adolph was not so many years ago, a dashing officer of the Guards, a great rider, a bean, a lady killer. Certain histories in this latter direction cut off his career as a Guardsmann and he came to Paris. Old Adolph had then nothing of the beau cavalier of old; he seemed good natured, but stupid; he did not look as if he could mount a horse, for he moved all in a block, like a piece of wood. "Old Adolph incidentally had hired a chateau which commanded a great range of country and which possessed a real value for war purposes. To this chateau he made several additions and improvements, which were thought to be a fad of dear, stupid old Adolph; they could be used as excellent gun emplacements. It is still a moot point in the circles that old Adolph frequented whether he really was a fool or only had that appearance. But it is not remote from this question to remark that at one point the disastrous flight of the Germans from the Marne was brought to an end by the fact that they arrived at positions which had been carefully noted and prepared by Germans before the war. "I have lifted the veil here and there upon the types; the framework of the system is no less edifying to study. For the past two generations the Germans have been extending and perfecting their spy system; it has now become one of the important functions of state. A spy is not taken at hapl hazard and asked impromptu to undertake difficult and hazardous work." ON WATCH FOR AIRPLANE SCOUT Episeode Illustrative of One of Many Diverse Phases of the War. CLOSE VIGILANCE NECESSARY Three Whistles; Presto, Battery Cam outfagled!—In This Instance, Venturesome German Machine Plunned to Earth. London.—The airplane sentry sat on his solitary mound in the middle of the field in the hot sunshine. His business was to watch for hostile airplanes and warn the battery of their approach. It does not sound a very arduous business, but it is one that requires considerable training if mistakes are to be avoided. Airplanes fly too high nowadays for their distinguishing marks to be discerned, even through the best glasses. The sentry must be able to detect the enemy as soon as he comes in sight, at whatever angle he may happen to be flying; and with so many different types of machine in the air this requires experience and a quick eye. The experience he had gained by being attached for some days to an antiaircraft battery, whose business it was to spot all hostile planes at once; quickness of vision was inbred in him. for he had an Englishman's love of sport. The attitude of watchfulness seemed natural to him as he sat with his glass slung round his neck, his eyes searching the skies all about him. A couple of hundred yards away, the battery was at the height of its morning toilet. The big guns were uncovered and the limber-gunners and their assistants were performing the morning ablutions of their charges, washing out the bores and scrubbing them with the long-handled plasaba brushes that take four men to push through. The artificer was testing air pressures; the section officers and their layers were busy with the sights. Behind the guns, groups of men were laying shells in rows, taking them from the heaps in which they had been dumped by the ammunition, column during the night. The whole orchard was a scene of activity, and concealment was out of the question while it lasted. Sudden Transformation. Suddenly the airplane sentry stood up, gazed at a distant speck in the sky through his glasses for a few seconds, then blew three blasts upon his whistle. Before the echoes had died away a furious scene-shifting began in the battery. The cleaning squads put down their utensils and drew up the gun-covers, the artificer, put his spanners in his pocket and sprang under the nearest tree, where he was joined by the section officers and their assistants. The shell numbers hastily covered their work with leaves and brushwood, and hid themselves under cover of the shed that acted as an ammunition store. In ten seconds, where all the activity had been the sharpest eye would have seen nothing but a compact orchard, with here and there a group of men sheltering under trees, invisible from the air. The German airplane made a wide sweep over the lines at a great height, the nucleus of a scattered pattern of shrapnel that burst all around it, leaving puffs of smoke that hung like cottonwood against the clear blue of the sky. Then, apparently not liking the look of a couple of British fighters that rose to pursue it, it made off, without having been anywhere near the battery. The airplane sentry blew his whistle once more and the covers were stripped off the guns and the interrupted work went on again. A Second Invitation. But the sentry redoubled his vigilance. The battery had made itself exceedingly unpopular with the German; it had recently put several of his guns out of action, besides accounting for a big mienwerfer that had annoyed the infantry in the front line, and it was evident that he meant to discover its position somehow. There were several German balloons up as it was, though a fortunate rise in the ground just hid the battery from their view. Nor was it likely that on a day when visibility was so good the enemy would stop at one casual airplane. It was far more likely that he would send them over at intervals throughout the day. And so it happened. Before an hour was past a second speck appeared in the sky and again the scene shifting took place on the blast of the whistle. This time the hostile plane was shaping a course that would bring it very nearly over the battery, and the sentry watched it with some concern. On it came, the shrapnel bursting furiously round it, diving and wheeling to disconcert the gunners' aim. It swept over the battery, went straight on for a few minutes, then turned and came back again. Had it seen anything suspicious? The sentry scanned the orchard sharply. Everything was in perfect order, not even a bully-beef tin lay about to betray a sign of human occupation; there were no tracks visible across the grass; every trifle was carefully covered up. It is on details like this that the safety of a battery depends. Upon the slightest hint that anything is hidden in a particular spot the airplane calls up its guns, and ranges on the place. And ever afterward one has the uncomfortable feeling that one is suspected and that At any moment a torrent of shell may arrive; Pursued by Shrapnel. The plane was perceptibly lower; it almost seemed as if its suspicions must have been aroused. It swept off toward home, pursued by the bursting shrapnel that it dodged as if by a series of miracles. But suddenly it seemed to quiver, its tail went up, and it began to dive steeply. The sentry watched it engerly through his glasses. Was it a ruse to escape the shell, or was it hit? Slowly the plane began to turn over, as it fell, and then, all at once, all control seemed to leave it, and it dropped steadily, turning over and over, the sun flashing from its polished fuselage as it did so. Lower and lower it fell, until only a few hundred feet from the ground, when it turned on its side and crashed swiftly to earth. a mile or so from the battery. The sentry blew his whistle once more, and the battery returned to its work cheering and whistling. Everyone had seen the machine come to earth and was proportionately elated. But, as always, a chivalrous feeling for their fallen enemy was mingled with the men's joy. "Flucky sportsman, that," said one, and the rest echoed his sentiments. Y. M. C. A. WORK IN COW SHED Recreational Work for American Troops in France Begun In Humble Surroundings. Paris, France.—Refreshments and amusements were provided by the American army and navy Young Men's Christian association for the first American troops stationed for training in the first-line, trenches. The work began in a cow shed in a little village just behind the front lines under the direction of Ira D. Shaw, a former Columbia university football player. The equipment to begin with consisted only of a small supply of chocolate, cigarettes and matches, which were passed out to the men as they passed the hut on their way "up the line." Soon the cow shed was abandoned for a large, hospitable room with a magnificent fireplace. The association headquarters in Paris largely augmented the supply of refreshments and provided magazines, writing paper, and a talking machine, which was on "active service" from early morning until late at night. The Y. M. C. A. secretaries did not confine their work to the huts, but went almost to the front trenches with newspapers, mugaznes, tobacco, and other supplies.

The judge admonished them and gave some sage advice: "Try to be more careful next time," he advised. As the couple started to leave the judge remarked: "Your feet look like they ought to hold you up." "I hope you fall flat the first minute you step outside the door," replied Mrs. Miller, as, with reddening cheeks, she backed out of the court room.

He left the court determined to win out some way. Later he returned with one "Mr. Gray," who said he was the father of the boy, and was ready to give his consent to his "son" getting married. The clerk issued the license, and then remembered that young Gray had told him a short time before that both his parents were dead. International Film Service J. D.
