The Liberty Loan Campaign is On

BELMAR IS RESPONDING NOBLY TO ITS PATRIOTIC DUTY.

Subscriptions Toward the Borough's Quota of §65,800 Very Satisfactory to the Committee.

The th ird Liberty Loan drive is on and Belmar is wide awake to its pa­triotic duty of raising its quota of $65,800 tow ard the three billions of dollars w hich the government asks for to help carry on the light for wrorld-liberty.

The local committee is vigorously pursuing its task and that repre­senting the Women’s Defense League senting the Women’s Defence League is particularly active under the lead­ership of Mrs. A. W. Moyer. Busy wives and young women are finding time to spare from their household duties and giving up social matters for the work of soliciting subscrip­tions. The Belmar branch of the league has attractive booths at the F irs t National bank, the post-office and the A. & P. store and the mem­bers of the committee take turns al being at the booths to give inform a­tion regarding the bonds and to take subscriptions. Besides Mrs. Moyer the committee consists of Mrs. Led- yard Avery, Mrs. Philip Heller, Mrs. G. W. Swain,, Mrs. Kate Sherwood, Mrs. Theodore Biehl, Mrs. Samuel Michelsohn, Mrs. C. B. Honce, Mrs. E. J. Lyman and Miss M. Estelle Moore, who are being assisted by a score or more of young ladies.

There has been subscribed through the women’s committee a very sat­isfactory amount, but the figures have not been made public because of thc request of Secretary McAdoo that such statem ents be reserved for the present. Elsewhere on this page is printed the names of those who have subscribed through this com­mittee.

It can be said that the total amount subscribed in Belmar up to the pres­ent is very gratifying to the general committee.,

For the second Liberty Loan Bel­m ar’s quota wfas $121,500 w hich was based on a statem ent of the F irst National Bank made at a time when its deposits w ere at high m ark on account of the summer population. This apportionm ent was an injustice to Belmar and an amount w hich the people of Belmar could not have been expected to raise. They did, however, subscribe $71,300, o r $5,500 m ore than the present quota. Indi­cations are that th a t amount will be exceeded during the present cam­paign.

Nearly every Belmar man in the service has w ritten home to relatives or some friend asking them to a r­range to take out a $50 bond for hiih.

Belmar people have never been found w anting in patriotism. A glance at the roll of honor of the boys in the service give sufficient ev­idence to bear out this statement, and the m anner in w hich those at home have responded w-ith their money to back up the soldiers is re ­ally surprising. It means that indi­vidual sacrifices have sometimes been made. They are also very loyal to Belmar, and there are not m any here who would subscribe for bonds outside the tow»n, but if any­one is contemplating doing so we hope such a one will change his mind and subscribe through the Belmar committee. Of course the govern­ment would get the money no m atter w here the loan was made, but we do not w ant some sister town or city to be crowing loud and lustily about ’’going over the top” w hen the “over the top” money came from Belmar.

Although the campaign wrill con­tinue throughout April, each and ev­ery person should see to it that their subscriptions are filed as early in the campaign as possible .and use their every influence, individually and col­lectively, to make the project a suc­cess from every standpoint.

Regulations of the Federal govern­ment require that a German alien enemy—meaning any unnaturalized German—changing his place of resi­dence to another place w ithin the same registration d istrict shall im ­mediately report the fact to theregis- tration officer and present his resis- tration card for the purpose of hav­ing the change endorsed upon it.

A German alien enemy who wishes to remove to another district msut first-obtain a perm it from the registration officer of the district in w hich he is living, mak­ing application on a prescribed form and presenting his regis­tration card for endorsement.

Any change of residence in viola­tion of these regulations will subject the alien enemy to arrest and im ­prisonm ent for the period of the war.

The registration officers who serv­ed at the original registration will continue to act in that capacity in cases of change of residence.

-----------------SPLENDID REVIVAL CAMPAIGN

Evangelist John E. Brown closed a series of revival meetings in the Twelfth avenue Baptist church on Monday night, the last night being used by him in a story of his life. The telling was exceedingly in terest­ing and wras a cap sheaf to all his other discourses. Large audiences attended all the meetings, Sunday evenings the church* always being filled. Many who are not in the hab­it of going to church dropped in early in .the meetings and continued to go, expressing themselves as high­ly pleased w ith the evangelist. Mr. Browm won a w arm place in the re ­spect of Belmar people and when he visits here again he w ill be greeted by a host of friends. As a result of the meetings several have signified a desire to unite w^ith the Baptist church and about a dozen will be given the hand of fellowship the first Sunday in May. The pastor expects to baptize four candidates for membership on Sunday night. Others will follow in the near future.

Evangelist Brown began a cam­paign in South River last night, and will go from there to Eatontown. Many Belmar friends are planning a delegation to one or both of these places soon.

TALE OF TWO CITIES

Rev. P. F. Boiler, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Manasquan, w ill speak before the Men’s Forum of the Methodist church in Inlet T er­race clubhouse next Monday evening on the “Tale of Two Cities” or “Lay­ing Down One’s Life.” Mr. Boiler’s lecture is based on Dicken’s novel, “The Tale of Two Cities.” He has a num ber of lectures all of which are of a high and interesting nature, but those who have heard this one say it is one of his best.

Every member of the forum is urged to be present and to make an effort to bring in as many applica­tions for membership as possible and to invite an applicant they may secure to attend this meeting.

A PATRIOTIC RALLY

Read'iig the first page of the Ad­vertiser w ithout reading the “Cent- a-W ord Column” is like eating a d in­ner w ithout meat. The w'ant ads. are always new'sy. They are more —there is something w orth while there.

The easiest and cheapest way to procure new business is through the Advertiser. You can tell your story to hundreds in a day.

There will be a patriotic rally In the interests of the third Liberty Loan campaign next Thursday night in the auditorium of the Public School building. Tlie meeting is under the auspices of the Belmar Liberty Loan committee, whose chairm an on W ednesday was noti­fied by the headquarters committee that a soldier would be sent to ad­dress the meeting.

H. B. Boland, Federal bank repre­sentative for Monmouth county w ill also be present and will speak on the bond issue.

The meeting will open at 8 o’clock.

Miller, Sadie J.The T hird Liberty Loan may be paid for in three ways—5

per cent, cash w ith subscription, balance on or before May 6th, 1918; or 5 per cent, cash w ith subscription, 20 per cent, on May 28th, 35 per cent, on July 18th, 40 per cent, on August 15th; or The F irst National Bank of Belmar w ill help you by accepting payments of one dollar a week until the bond is fully paid for.

Surely w ith terms as liberal as the above every one of us can buy one or more bonds.

Booths for your convenience in subscribing for the Liberty Loan will be found in the post-office, The F irst National Bank, and the A. & P. store. Tbe women who are so unselfishly giving their time, will be glad to assist you in making out the necessary subscription blanks.

Every store in Belmar before noon on Saturday, April 6th, the iirst day of the Liberty Loan campaign, showed frc^n its show windows, posters issued by the United States government. The Women’s Loan Committee played bill poster Friday night and Saturday morning.

“The old Liberty Bell—Ring it again”—This message was carried to every household^in Belmar on April 6th, the first anni­versary of our entrance into tlie war. Captain Carl Herber- man, ably assisted by Edw ard Donnelly, Lawrence Edwards, Lester Heyniger, Albert Isola, Smith Martin, Joseph Morris, Paul Morris and Carmer Vola, spread this message and credit is given to Captain Herbcrman and his crew for their good work.

Right along side of your Red Cross membership flag in your w indow should fly the flag of the Third Liberty Loan. Every household can find the means to fly one of these flags if they will but try.

Every shade tree in terest is w arn­ed that w ith the coming of Warm w eather the shade trees in parts of New Jersey are in danger of being defoliated by a caterpillar pest. The pest is the “tussock moth,” and the eggs from w hich the caterpillars will hatch are now on the trees, or on adjacent structures, in flat white or

& I greyish masses each about one-lialf 3C | inch wide by three-quarters of an

inch long.Seventy towns have been visited

by the State Entomologist and his assistants, eggs have been collected, and by a test, found to be capable of producing caterpillars. Condi­tions are not uniform throughout the State, but viable eggs are sufficiently general to make action necessary.

The caterpillars may be expected X j to hatch in May and to begin their §■ j foliage feeding at once. W hen fully | | [ grown the caterpillar has a bright

red 'head, long pencils of hair fore and aft, and stubby brushes of yellow' ha ir on Ihe back. The gener-

'& al color is yellow w ith a black strioe on the back.

£ The caterpillars become fully | grown tow ard tbe end of June and spin their cocoons on thc tree trunks and branches, or on fences and

it houses. In July the moths emerge § i from the cocoons and the egg masses £ are laid. Some of the eggs hatch

! and there is a partial second brood. 3>-1 W herever possible the egg masses ’> should be gathered and burned be- !<| J tween now and the first of May. It

is advised that the boys and girls of ^ each community be set to work to £ i,save the trees from the threatened ji: ] attack. Competitions and prizes will

be helpful. Local instructors should ■;;; show how to identify theegg masses;

if specimens are needed they will X be furnished, upon request, by the J; State Entomologist, New Brunswick. 'si1 If this procedure is not practical, j ; ; preparation should be made to spray o or dust the foliage of infested trees 5! w ith arsenate of lead as soon as the

! caterpillars appear and before they &: have reached a large size. About K oije ounce of the powdered, or two 3r ounces of the paste, arsenate of lead 4 should be used to each gallon of £ w ater, and the spraying or dusting

j should be so thoroughly done that X j the infested foliage w ill be well $ coated.

TO RESIGN CHAIRMANSHIP

It is said that as a result of Gover­nor Edge announcing himself a can­didate for United States senator, State Comptroller Newton A. K. Bugbee of Trenton and Belmar, will resign as chairm an of the Republi­can State committee. Mr. Bugbee is said to favor Governor Edge in the coming senatorial fight and believes that a man should be at the head of the committee who is neutral.

W hen the Home Guard units were organized through the State nearly a year ago, the State Council of De­fense, under direction of the Govern­or, prescribed certain methods for quick assembly defense units and suggested that such calls be given, as trials periodically at unknown times to familiarize the organiza­tions w ith them and to see how long it took to assemble the units.

Owing to the large number of men who could not be reached by tele­phone and the time consumed to reach them by messenger, a series of signals w ere devised to be rung on the fire alarm.

No trial assembly call had been given in Belmar. The Governor re­cently requested a report of the time in w hich units could be assembled during (1) the day and (2) the night also (3) the num ber of men who could reasonably respond.

It was decided, therefore, to have the first trial call at 7.40 on Monday evening. This seemed to be an opportune time as most men were on the ir w ay at that time to the trial of Dr. Hassler at the borough hall.

W ithin fifteen minutes after the call was sent, thirty-seven members of Co. A were present, fifteen mem­bers of Co. B and all seven members of the batialion staff. This was an excellent showing, but considerable confusion and uncertainty was caus­ed by the blowing^ of the w ater wrorks w histle in long instead of a series of two short quick blasts. The long blasts are fire calls, and the short blasts are well recognized calls for help or assembly.

The trial of 1st Lieut. J. W yllis Hassler, M. D,, was held in Borough hall Monday evening before a Mock General Court-Maytial convened for that purpose. Over 100 spectators w ere present. The tria l w’as a re­sult of a series of events which occurred on February 11, and charges w ere prepared by Battalion Surgeon Capt. Fred V. Thompson, M. D., under the following twelve articles of w ar:

Art. 61—Absence w ithout leave.Art. 63—Disrespect tow ards su­

perior officer.Art. 66—Mutiny or sedition.Art. 68—Quarrels, frays or d is­

orders.Art. 85—Drunk on duty.Art. 90—Provoking speeches or

gestures.Art. 93—Various crimes.Art. 94—Frauds against the Gov­

ernment.Art. 95—Conduct unbecoming an

officer and gentleman.Art. 96—General article.Art. 75—Misbehavior before the

enemy.Art. 81—Relieving, corresponding

with, or aiding the enemy.After a very spirited and hotly

contested trial the following verdict was rendered:

“Not guilty on all charges, but recommended that a Psycho-Neuro- Mental Commission be appointed,to exhaustively ^investigate the condi­tion of the accused.”

Futher recommended that the testimony of Pvt. W. E'arl Ledden be referred to the Bishop of this district for ecclestiastical investigation for appropriate action.

The findings of the court have been forw arded to headquarters as required by arm y regulations and do not become effective until they have been approved, modified or dis­approved by the superior reviewing authority.

The prosecution was ably handled by 1st Lieut. Chas. M. Ilogate as Judge Advocate, and Sgt. Major H ar­ry R. Cooper, A sst. Judge Advocate.

Lieut. Hassler, who is a silver- tongued orator a renownedpleader of the Shark River Bar, represented himself. He was assist­ed in no small degree by C ounsellot, Paul T. Zizinia also of the Shark River Bar.

At the opening of the trial, challenges w ere entered to the com­petency to sit as members of the court of 1st Lieuts. Neil H. Miller and John L. McCormick. But the challenges w ere not sustained.

The conduct and actions of Lt. Hassler w^ere testified to by Capt. Fred V. Thompson, Corpl. C. H ubert Hoffman, Pvt. Jos. Isola and H. C. Higgins of the Mass. Game Commis­sion. The radio expert, Sgt. John Gleason, gave elequent proof of the attempts of Lt. Hassler to correspond by w ireless w ith his friend, Bill Kaiser, of Potsdam.

NEW COAT OF MAIL1Entire Tunics of Tarnished Silver,

Dropped F r o m Neck to Knees.

RATION PER PERSON IS 11 POUNDSOF WHEAT PRODUCTS WEEKLY

Military Necessity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Here— Allied War Bread Must Be Maintained— Our Soldiers and

Sailors to Have Full Allowance.

If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary propor­tion of w heat to maintain their w ar bread from now until the next harvest, and this is a m ilitary necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 2 1 ,000,000 bushels a month, as against our normal consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent, of our normal consumption. This is the situa­tion as set forth by the 'U . S. Food Administration a t W ashing­ton. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves for general consumption approxim ately 11/2 pounds of w heat products weekly per person. The Food A dm inistration’s statem ent continues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers’ bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore, requires a larger proportion of w heat products than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and navy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population can make g reater sacrifices in the consumption of w heat products than can the poor. In addition, our population in the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun­dant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations.

W ith improved transportation conditions we now have avail­able a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months a surplus of milk, and we have am ple com and oats for human consumption. The drain on rye and barley, as substitutes, has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains.

To effect the needed saving of wheat we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the American people and we ask that the following rules shall be observed:

1. Householders to use not to exceed a total of 1 % pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than 1 % pounds of \ic to r y bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined.

2. Public eating places and clubs to observe two w heatless days per week,Monday and Wednesday, as at present.In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Public eat­ing establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus con­forming with the limitations requested of the householders.

3. R etailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time, and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals.

4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold before, and corresponding proportions In other weights. We also ask bakers not to Increase the amount of their

cent, of the average monthly amount purchased in the four mouths prior to March 1.

5. Manufacturers using wheat prod­ucts for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely.

(5. There is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et cetera.

Many thousand fam ilies throughout the land are now using no wheat prod­ucts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfac­tion. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook in their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one- half pounds a week, and we specially ask the well-to-do households In the country to follow this additional pro­gramme In order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community less able to adapt them selves to so large a pro­portion of substitutes.

In order that we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are ab­solutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-opera­tion o f the public by a further limita­tion of distribution, and we shall place at once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable dis­tribution as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should be able to relax such restrictions. Until then we ask for the necessary patience, sacrifice and co-operation of the distributing

Warrior-Like Corsage Is EmbroideredWith Pearls, Brilliants and Flashes

of Steel— Jewel Headdress.

Not only Cheruit, but many other French dressmakers, have lent their ear to making a pronounced fashion out of silver tissue. Two years ago, observes a prominent writer, we grew excessively weary of evening gowns made of superimposed pieces of tulle on a metallic foundation, and when the thought of silver and gold tissue pre­sents itse lf as a fashion, we turn away from it in a petulent manner.

But w ait! This revival of a coat of mail for women, the warrior’s uniform of ancient days which no modern fight­er would touch, Is another and a more pleasing thing than the evening gown of metallic cloth.

Entire tunics, in the tw elfth cen­tury fashion, are made of tarnished silver dropped from neck to knees, or longer, over skirts of blood red or mid­night blue satin or velvet. Except for the costliness of the material, the tu­nics have all the simplicity o f primi­tive dressing. Their introduction into the early spring fashions has brought about a quantity of silver used in ev­ery way.

Mine. Simone of the Theater An­toine in Paris, is wearing, I hear, a wonderful gown which is being copied for th is country. It is o f silver cloth faced with red, hanging in panels on the ground over a slim, tight skirt that clings to the figure as she walks. The warrior-like corsage is embroidered w ith pearls, brilliants and flashes of cut steel. To It she adds a warrior’s headdress made of the same jew els as in the corsage and mounted on silver cloth.

Wherever silver can be flicked in and out of a frock to enliven it, the designer loses no chance of trying out her ingenuity through this channel. When she abondons the Russian blouse of gold and bronze metallic cloth, which drops over a skirt of bronze satin, she tak^s the same material and uses it in bands, cuffs and high, wrink­led collars that enclose the chin like a fence.

It is a strange idea, this bringing out of a new coat of mail for women as the spring approaches. Is it a rec­ognition of their first victory toward suffrage and the fact that they may be counted as warriors today in civic, national and war work?

A T T R A C T I V E S P O R T S C O S T U M E

wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per trades.

Great Wheat Stocks Isolated.

It’s the shortage in ships that Is putting the Allies and the United States on wheat rations. Great stocks of wheat are iso­lated in India, and Australia. At great sacrifice in ship space and use the A llies are forced to se­cure some wheat from Argentina.

On January 1, Australia had stored 100 ,000,000 bushels of wheat that was ready for ex­port—but there were no ships. Then came the new crop with an exportable surplus of 80,000,- 000 bushels. Now Australia has approximately 180,000,000 bush­els w aiting for ships.

India, at the same time, had70.000.000 bushels of wheat stored for export. During April50.000.000 bushels more'-out of the new crop will be added to the pile.

Argentina closed the last ship­ping season with 11 ,000,000 bushels of wheat left In the stock available for export. The new crop will add 135,000,000 to the left over.

It is not a problem that the 1 wheat does not exist In the

world—It is entirely a problem of shipping, which has thrown on America the obligation of divid­ing our stock with the Allies.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTSREACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea of the quantity of food sent to European allies by the United States from July 1, 1914, to January 1, 1918, is given by figures just announced by the U. S. Food Ad­ministration. In that period the Unit­ed States has furnished complete year­ly rations for 57,100,933 people. In addition there was enough extra pro­tein to supply this portion of the diet for 22,194,570 additional men.

The total export of wheat and wheat flour to the three principal allies is equivalent to about 384,000,000 bushels. Pork exports for the 3% years amount­ed to almost 2,000,000,000 pounds. Ex­ports of fresh beef totaled 443,484,400 pounds. The amount of food exported to Russia is negligible compared with that sent to the western allies.

ONLY AMERICA CAN HELP.

“On your side are boundless supplies of men, food, and mate­rial; on this side a boundless de­mand for their help.

“Our men are war-weary and their nerves have been strained by more than three years of hard, relentless toil.

"Our position is critical, par­ticularly until the next harvest, but the United States can save us.

“You Americans have the men, the skill, and the material to save the allied cause.”

j usages. A collar faced with French blue satin and Norfolk straps on the jacket complete the costume.

TRAGEDY STALKSABROADIN RUINED TOWNS

It was a little village in France, like hundreds o f others. Its men had gone to war. When the Germans were re­ported as close to the town, the women and children fled.

The Huns entered the village that night. Robbing all the homes of every­thing of value, they set fire to the town and prepared to march on.

Leaving the town they came upon Auntie Mareell—eighty years o l d - crouching by the roadside, one of the refugees who had dropped out of the fleeing procession. She had had noth­ing to eat for twenty-four hours ex­cept roots that she had dug up nearby.

When the Germans retired soon after tliis, and many of the villagers returned, they found Auntie Marcelle striving to build a shelter in the ruins of her old home— the only living soul in the place. The other villagers joined her and attempted to find some refuge. Their efforts were pitiful. Each picked his own home— though the ruins next to it might be unoccu­pied and much more promising. Each wanted to live on his own little piece of ground, even if only a few bricks remained there.

Food? There wasn’t any, except what the Germans could not carry with them in their hurried evacuation. For days the handful of villagers lived on the rotting fruit left in nearby or­chards and a meagre supply of vegeta­bles.

Many Towns in Sorry Plight.And this story was being repeated

in scores of towns throughout north­ern France and Belgium. Thousands were suffering as these people were suffering, and hundreds, as in this vil­lage, died—from exposure and starva­tion.

Then came the Society of English and American Friends. They set to work promptly. They gave moral en­couragement to the ruined people and helped them to construct temporary shelters. They selected the blasted homes which offered the best possibili­ties for partial reconstruction, and aided the townsfolk to erect shacks between w alls that still stood where a house had been, or to put a substantial roof over a cellar that could be lived in.

At first, numbed with the sudden­ness and horror of it all, the villagers accepted aid mechanically. But later the old spirit of independence began to assert itself. They wanted to be self-sustaining, even when everything had been swept away.

So the Friends’ organization opened workshops in the towns, where the women came and worked by the hour at sewing. Here corn and flour sacks were fashioned into useful articles of various kinds—table covers, mats and fancy bags. The women were taught embroidery, and many were the quaint and original designs they created. Thirty centim es (six cents) an hour was the pay—and the women were happy and independent.

When the American Red Cross or­ganization reached France, and came in contact with the work of the Friends, It Immediately realized the necessity of its continuance and en­largement.

So the Red Cross offered the Friends the support that would make it possi­ble to extend their activities, and It was accepted. Today the American Red Cross and the Friends and several other groups of workers in similar service are co-operating harmoniously and effectively to restore there ■ the villages that have suffered so hard a fate.

The War Council has appropriated the sum of $400,000 as a contribution to the American Committee for Arme­nian and Syrian relief, to cover the months of February and March, 1918, with the expectation .that $200,000 a month for the following four months w ill also be appropriated, but making no commitment to that effect.

The War Council had already given $1,800,000 to this committee in the form of a contribution of $300,000 a month for the last six months of 1917. The destitution among the Armenians, Syrians, Greeks and other suffering races in the Russian Caucasus, Per­sia, Asia Minor, Mesopotamia and Syria Is on the increase, and those peoples are more than ever dependent on American charity as administered in large part by the commissioners and agents of the Committee for Ar­menian and Syrian Relief.

PLANNED AT CAMP MERRITT.

W hat w ill be the first club house In the Atlantic division designed exclu­sively for officers is soon to be built at Camp Merritt, New Jersey. More than $20,000 has been donated to the Red Cross for the purpose, and the plans have already been drawn up.

W hile a club for enlisted men was recently given by Mrs. Merritt, widow of Gen. W esley G. Merritt, no provi­sion has heretofore been made for the officers, and since thousands of them pass through this military post en route to France the need is great.

The structure, covering 10,500 feet of ground spa<?e, one story in height, Is to include a billiard room and lounge, dining room, kitchen, women’s dining and rest room, with barber shop aDd five modern baths fitted with porcelain tubs instead of showers.

Emphasizing tlie fact that food pro­duction necessary to win the war is essentially the work of the farmer in this country, M. O. Burritt, vice direc­tor of extension of the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca, has called attention to the fact that the farmers of New York are facing the most difficult problems since the Civil War. He added, however, that they are fully capable of solving these prob­lems, say in g: “They have not failed in the past. They will not fail now. The handling of their job, however, de­mands long hours of hard work, a good deal of surplus money—more than ever before— with which to purchase seeds, feeds, fertilizers and other materials necessary to production. 1 This is the tim e of year in which these expendi­tures are being made. They will to a certain extent compete with the Lib­erty Loan for the farmers’ money.

“If I know the character and the temper of our farmers—and I have lived all my life with and among them —there is no question about their put­ting every dollar that they can spare or raise personally into the next Lib­erty Loan. I hope they will not do this to the detriment of production, as I believe this is their first and most important duty, but you may be sure that they will do their utmost.

“I think the Liberty Loan Commit­tee has taken the necessary steps to secure the utmost co-operation of farmers in the floating of the next Liberty Loan in taking them fully into Its local and county committee organ­ization. I know that the men whose co-operation has been solicited will be equal to the responsibility which is being placed upon them. I have the greatest confidence in the ability of farm ers to meet the demands of the nation at this time if handicaps are not placed upon them and they are given both responsibility and opportu­nity for meeting these problems in their own way.”

By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

News from W ashington that the treasury department has decided upon the use of an honor flag and an honor roll system in the Third Liberty Loan Campaign has been welcomed by the many selling agents throughout the Second Federal R eserve District, which Includes all of New York state, the 12 northern counties o f New Jersey and Fairfield county, Conn.

It is expected that tremendous rival­ry w ill result among the various com­m ittees to win the honor flags. The flag itself is 36 inches wide and 54 Inches long and will have a red border and a w hite center, across which will run three vertical blue stripes, indica­tive o f the Third Liberty Loan. As soon as the honor flag system was de­cided upon arrangements were made to manufacture them and distribute them among the various local Liberty Loan Committees. After the close of the bond selling campaign state and national honor flags w ill be raised. An honor flag will be awarded to each community that sells more than its quota of bonds. A star for the flag will be awarded to a community which doubles its quota.

Supplementing the flag as a part of the system will be an honor roll for listing the names of subscribers by committees and trades. The honor roll will consist of a card bearing a large colored reproduction of the honor flag and the words “Help Our Town Win the Right to Fly This Flag.” A space is reserved at the bottom of the honor roll for attaching the names of subscribers.

Draft your idle dollars, sonny I Put them into bonds today.

Refuse From Military Kitchens Pur­chased and Made Use Of by the

British Government.

British war efficiency is such that lt is now able to save something out of army waste.

When it was found that thousands of tons of w aste fats were being thrown away with other garbage from military kitchens investigations were made to determine whether some use could be made of these things. Now drippings, bones, butchers’ fat and greases are being daily used In Eng­land in the making of soap, candles, fertilizers and also in supplying the explosives for 17,000,000 shells an­nually.

The government pays the army camps for the w aste products taken. During the first month of the experi­ments the British committee on the purchase of army camp refuse bought £7,500 worth of fats, and this figure has soared until at the present time about £80,000 is paid to the camps each month.

The most recent development of this scheme is the extension of the plan to the naval forces and to troops “over there,” whether that be France or Palestine or Africa.

Canadian Fisheries Had Record Year.Owing to the greatly increased de­

mand for fish and the higher prices prevailing, the total market value of Canadian fisheries for the last fiscal year constituted a record. It amounted to $39,208,378, according to the annual report of the fisheries branch, issued recently. This was $3,347,670 greatei than the value for the previous year.

To the total value the sea fisheries contributed $34,386,013, and the inland fisheries, $4,822,365. The British Co­lumbia catch headed the list, with a value of $14,637,346, the figures for the rest being: Nova Scotia, $10,092,902; New Brunswick, $5,656,859; Quebec, $2,991,624; Ontario, $2,658,993; Mani­toba, $1,344,170; Saskatchewan, $231,- 946; Alberta, $144,317, and Yukon, $60,210. As usual, the salmon catch was more valuable than any other, amounting to $10,882,431. Lobsters were caught to the value of $5,508,- 054; cod, $5,449,964; herring, $3,050,- 421, and halibut, $2,263,573—Fishing Gazette.

Bufialo as Beast of Burden.The buffalo has alw ays been rated

as untamable, and many scientists have regarded him as one of the most stupid beasts that ever existed. It has remained for Major Bob Yokum of Pierre, S. D., after live years of ef­fort, to accomplish the wonderful feat of training a pair of buffaloes to trot to wagon, and also to do many other remarkable stunts. Major Yokum is a former United States marshal, and Is known in the old ranching and cowboy life of tlie American West, from Texas to Oregon. One of the accomplishments of the Yokum team Is to race against horses, and they distance their speedy competitors. They loathe the saddling process, and when the rider mounts them will "buck” in a way to shame a veteran broncho.— St. Nicholas.

Old-Timer Missourian Writes of Pe­riod When Game Was Plentiful

Where Now Cities Stand.

Samuel Cole, who came to central Missouri a boy, told these hunting stories :

“When I was about twelve years old I started one morning to hunt for game. My brothers had an old flint­lock rifle, which I carried with me. It was a large and heavy gun, and was so heavy that I could not shoot it without using a rest. I came up the river, keeping near the bank, until I got to where the courthouse now stands in Boonville. Under the trees, which then covered the ground in the courthouse yard, I saw five deer stand­ing together. I selected one of the finest looking ones and fired. At the crack of my gun he fe ll; but when I went up to where he was, he jumped to his feet, and would have followed the other deer towards the river, had I not rushed up and caught hold of him, putting my arms under his neck. He pawed me with his sharp hoofs and horned me—his hoofs making an ugly gash in my thigh and his horns strik­ing me on the forehead. The marks of both hoofs and horns I carry with me today. I held the deer until my dog came up. I then loaded the gun and shot him again. th'.s time ki'ling him. This was the first d e t '1 I p v < - r killed, and although it was a dangerous un­dertaking, the experience only spurred me on to gather trophies of a similar character.

“I killed five bears just below the town—where Boonville now stands—- and killed twenty-two bears in three days. I killed four elk In less than one hour. There were a few buffaloes in the country when I came, but these were soon killed or driven further w est­ward. I never killed a buffalo, but caught five calves of a small herd near Pettis county line. I have seen as many as thirty deer at one sight at Prairie Lick. One day I went out upon the prairie, In the spring of the year, and saw about twenty deer—all lying down except o n e; this one was a sen­tinel for the herd. I approached with­in three hundred yards of them and then took my handkerchief, which was a large red bandana, and fastened it to a stick, and shook It a little above my head, when they all sprang to their feet and came toward me. A deer has much curiosity, and they were determined to find out, if they could, what the red handkerchief meant. When one of the largest of the number came within gunshot distance I shot and killed it. 1 often repeated the

j handkerchief ruse with great success. 1 I have killed and carried to the house

three deer before breakfast.”—From “Missourians of One Hundred Years Ago,” by Walter B. Stevens.

German Soldier Slang.The first attention attracted by

Boche soldier slang was enlisted when they dubbed the 420-mm. gun “Big Ber­tha,” says the Bulletin des Armees. The machine gun is “stottertante” (the aunt who stutters). They also say “the organ of death,” “the colic can­non,” “the old chatterbox.” When the French machine guns are in action the Boche in his dugout exclaim s:

“There’s a Franzman at his sewing machine.”

The casque is the “tu lip ;” the knap­sack, the “m onkey;” epaulettes are “soup p la tes;” noncorn stripes are “cu­cumber parings.” The various arms have their sobriquets. The infantry­man is called the “sand hare;” the chausseur is the “green frog;” the trench digger is the “mole” or the “ditchm an;” the white cuirassier, the “flour b ag ;” the uhlan, the “lamplight­er,” and the green hussars with yellow trimmings are “the egg anil spinach.”

Food Consumption.Studies of the monthly per capita

consumption of wheat, meat, fa t and sugar in the United States and in Eu­ropean countries, show that, in gen­eral, people in the United States eat the most per person. The German sugar ration for 1916-1917 was hardly more than ore-tenth of our consump­tion and in meats we consumed almost six tim es as much as the Germans were allowed. France is on a slightly more liberal diet than Germany, yet the French sugar ration is only 1.1 pounds per month per person, as com­pared with 7.4 pounds in the United States. England, though commonly considered a country of hearty eat­ers, uses even less fat than France, and is about midway between France and the United States as regard meat and sugar consumption.

Bible Stops Bullet.When that American Sunday school

scholar gave his nickel for a Testa­ment for a soldier in Europe he did not know tfcat the Testament would stop a bullet within an Inch of a French soldier’s heart and save his life.

But Eugene Dufall, that gallant French soldier whose life was saved by that Testament, know’s it, and he will always be grateful to some tin- known American Sunday school boy, or it may be a girl, who that Sunday back in America did his bit toward the1,200,000 Testam ents and Gospels which have gone to Europe through the co-operation of the World’s Sun­day School association and the Amer­ican and other Bible agencies.

This new Testament was given him at Dieulefit, the first camp in Dau- phine, by the Frefach Bible society. On January 10, 1917, he was carrying it on his chest in the Schonholtz wood, before Altkirch (in A lsace), when a bullet from a machine gun glanced from a tree or rock, struck him on the breast and entered the Testament.

In fact, during extremely hot w eather it has been almost impossible to make frequent enough trips w ith the i sprinklers to keep the dust laid. These roads get worn down and full of holes, but if the streets w*ere lined w ith shade trees on either side they would retard and hold the moisture, the road beds would stand up strong and need less sprinkling and repairs. So putting aside the question of beauty, you have a valuable asset in trees.

In the question of tree planting one thing to take into consideration \ is that of utility. The location re-1 quired for the various trees which the citizens want to plant is one of Ihe most vital problems. If we ta k e ; a given street, one of the a b u tto rs ; might want an Oriental plane, |

A colored physician was arrested in Asbury P ark a few days ago on the charge of violating the anli«drug act. He is charged w ith being un­registered in New Jersey for issuing prescriptions for narcotics.

At the time of the arrest a news­paper stated that an investigation disclosed, according to Detective Broderick, only six drug adicts in Asbury Park and. all of them under treatm ent by physicians. If there are only six, it must be that Asbury Park has had a big slump in popula­tion w ithin the past few months or that the “cure” has been effective in many cases, but be that as it may, Sheriff Geran is determined to learn more about the dispensing of “dope” in Asbury Park.

Even w ith the stringent law's en­acted a few years ago in this coun­try against the sale of harm ful drugs they are being dispensed to an alarming extent. Not only are men and women customers of the dope

purveyors, but even children, if we are to credit the reports in the pa­pers. Opium, morphine, heroin and cocain are handled and the dope fiends seem to have no difficulty in procuring it. Only a short time ago a man was arrested in Long Branch who, it is claimed, made a fortune handling these drugs.

The law against selling narcotics does not prevent the drugs being sold, nor guarantee the safety of young men and women who have so" many opportunities to get ac­quainted w ith their properties. The State Board of Health of New Je r­sey two or three years ago was aroused by the conditions existing in the state and moved against p re ­parations containing morphine, alcohol and drugs or having sim ilar properties w hich w ere recommend­ed as good fo r babies and young children and sought legislation to stop the practice by making it a misdemeanor to label such articles so to make it appear they are suit­able for children.

A Belmar physician speaking re ­cently of the drug habit mentioned the ingredients in some w idely-ad­vertised medicines and of their ten­dency to create a habit for narcotics. He averred that certain drinks sold at soda fountains wrere made of preparations of a narcotic nature.

We hope Sheriff Geran will con­tinue his crusade in Asbury Park and not only show the authorities who have been unable to or did not care to stop vice, that he can land the conscienceless persons who traffic in drugs behind prison bars as well as those w ho sell liquor unlawfully.

The price of advertising must also be raised. Our flat rate on large space advertisements w hich has been 12% cents an inch for each insertion, w ill on and after May 1 be 15 cents an inch. This is only a small change and is not caus­ed so much by the general revolu­tionizing of prices as it is by our in ­creased circulation and the actual increase of value our paper affords.

British Officer and Privates, Home From the Front, Had Same Mem­

ories of “Tight Corner."

Two privates in “Blighty” blue were limping their way along Regent street, London. Each had his badges of hon­or— two and three eloquent gold stripes. They were in London town again—in it, but somehow not of it. Only the accident of war made them Regent street sauuterers.

From the opposite direction there approached a young oflicer with a lady companion. He, too, had the gold stripes of the twice wounded. Eager and bright, he seemed ab­sorbed in his companion, apparently not noticing the two privates. In­deed, he was almost by tlu'in when iu a Hash he darted from the side ol his companion, seized the hand of one of the privates in a hearty grip and ejac­ulated :

“Great h eaven s! fancy meeting you here! B it different when we were to­gether before, eh? W hat a light cor­ner ! And only we two left—aud here we are again. And how are you, and how are you getting on?”

Succeeded a string of other ques­tions, culminating in “Getting bet­ter, eh? Feel as if you’ll soon be ready to go out again? How do you feel about it? Will you be glad to go?”

What the private said may be in­ferred from the resumjition of the offi­cer’s talk.

“That’s the right spirit. Shouldn’t wonder if we meet again in another hot corner. Well, good luck and cheero!”

Lie u t. J . W . Hassler M . D ., is Acquitted(Continued from page 1)

w ere persons who secretly hoped that the docter would be convicted and vocally executed, even his w orst enemies were forced to concede that the defence wras so ably handled tha t only an acquitted was honestly possible on the evidence as submit­ted.

Among those who testified in fa­vor of Dr. Hassler, the Bev. W. Earl Ledden, Sgt. Joseph Capobianco and Richard Wines deserve special no­tice. W hile Hon. Wm. M. Bergen sprang a surprise on the doctor by testifying against and not for him. T he Rev. Mr. Ledden showed him ­self as a quick-witted and incisive th inker who saved the day on sever­al charges by his willingness to en­te r fully into the part which he was portraying His views on the “liquor question” and his ability as a fluent “cusser” certainly astonish­ed and delighted the court and spec­tators.

Wm. Gassin and Commissioner Bergen testified that they would not believe Dominie Ledden “under oath,” while Cashier Lyman 'was forced to admit that as Pres, of the Coast Oil Co. he had to remove Gassin from his position as T reasur­er, because of a m isappropriation of

Negro W as Sure That Wonderful Bul­let He Invented Would Never

Kill American Soldiers.

Two negroes were walking along n New York street discussing the won­derful inventions brought about by the war.

“Yes, sah,” one said, “an’ a friend of mine who knows all about it says dis heali man Edison has done gone and invented a magnetized bullet dat can’t miss a German, kase ef dere’s one in a hundred yards de bullet is drawn right smack against his steel helmet. Yes, sah, an’ he’s done invented an­other one with a return attachment. W henever dat bullet don’t hit nothin’ it comes right straight back to de American lines.”

“D at’s what I call inventin’,” ex­claimed the other. “But, say, how about dem cornin’ back bullets? What do dey do to keep ’em from hittin’ ouah men?”

“Well, mah frien’ didn’t tell me about it, but ef Mr. Edison made ’em you can bet youah life he’s got ’em trained. You don’t ’spose he’d let ’em kill any Americans, do you? No, sah. He's got ’em fixt so’s dey jes’ ease back down aroun’ de gunner's feet aji’_ say: ‘D ey’s all dead in dat trench,boss. Send me to a live place where I’s got a chanct to do somethin’.’ ”

Bathed While Building Burns.Mrs. Stella Totten, a comely young

matron, was enjoying an afternoon “tub” in her apartment on the third floor of the Addicks building, the Wool- worth tower of a nearby suburban town, when there came a noisy knock­ing at the door. “Who’s there?” in­quired Mrs. Totten, timidly, recalling that the door was unlocked. “It’s me —Bill Stone,” was the gruff answer. “Please don’t come in, Mr. Stone—I’m in the tub. Who are you, and why are you here?” “I’m B ill Stoge of Hook and Ladder 279; the house Is on fire, and I’vt) come to get you.” “I thought the water was getting rather hot,” said Mrs. Totten. In less than a minute Bill Stone emerged from a third-floor window, and amid the plaudits of the surging crowd, safely carried Mrs. Totten, wrapped only in a blanket, down the ladder and delivered her safely in a nearby hotel.— New York Times.

Arctic Region Can Be Mapped by Pho­tographs Taken From Miles

Above the Objective.

The adventures of tlie camera men tn this war are more thrilling than any roamance. Braving the fire of batteries of anti-aircraft guns and hourly en­countering the skillful air duelists, they must calmly choose their posi­tions, risk their lives often for a single, exposure, and carry back their pic-; tures in record time. Successful pho­tographs have been made at a height of more than three miles, says Boys’ Life, the boy scouts’ magazine, for February. Prom such an altitude the earth appears flat, all objects being lost in a dull cloud-like effect, but the cameras used are of the tele-photo type, which will pierce through this distance. Some are made with a pis­tol grip which enables the aviator to aim his camera quickly. Other aero cameras are built into the floor or side of the aircraft and pictures are taken by touching a button with the foot. An Ingenious mechanical device has been invented which will take pictures ati any desired rate per second, so that; nothing w ill be overlooked.

Aero photography has many impor­tant uses apart from warfare. The camera has been carried by daring ad­ventures over unexplored regions. It has been estimated that an aero pho­tographer could cover more territory in a day in the Arctic region than could be traversed in a month by dog sledges.

Her Work.Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin

said in a Y. W. C. A. address:“Charles Schwab married on $7 a

week, and Chauncey Depew on $9. X have no sympathy with the girl who makes a devoted young man wait till he can support her as luxuriously as her old father does.

“My sympathy all goes out to the young man who said joyously, as soon as he was accepted :

“ ‘Then, darling, w e’ll get married at once. Of course, at first, w e shan’t be able to keep a servant.’

“ ‘Oh, Jack, hadn’t we better wait, then?’ she protested. ‘What would the neighbors say if they saw me doing my own work?’

“Jack looked puzzled.“ ‘Why, sweetheart,’ he said, 'whose

work do you want to do?’ ”

The live business man advertises. T ry one in the A dvertiser and watch results.

By HERBERT QUICK.The farmer everywhere loves peace.

The American fanner especially loves peace. But the farmer everywhere is a warrior when war is the only thing which will make and keep him free— either a warrior or a serf. The farm­ers are sometimes tlie last to heat up. But they stay hot, and in a long fight they are always found sturdily carry­ing the battle across No Man’s Land to the foe in the last grim struggle.

The American farmer will give all that he has and all that he is to win this great war against war, this enor­mous struggle to win again the victory which we- fondly believed we had twice won in the past.

This war was at first hard to under­stand. It seemed to many of us that we were not at war, the thing was so far off, and it came to us in so unfa­miliar a guise. We did not then know that a monster has arisen with a thou­sand arms, who could reach across the seas and could take from us three- fourths o f everything we grew without our being aware of it and could follow up his robbery with Invasion, subjuga­tion and national death.

The Hand of Kairserism.If the imperial German government

had made and enforced an order that no American farmer should leave his own land, that he could not haul a load of grain or drive a head of stock to town—if, in fact, the Kaiser had laid an interdict on all intercourse between farm and farm and between farm and town—he would have done only a lit­tle more than he accomplished by his interdict against American farmers' use o f the sea.

When the war broke out through ter­ror and surprise and panic we gave up for aw hile the use of the sea as a highway. To a great extent we gave it up. And so long as we gave it up we, the farmers of America, were ruin­ed. When we finally rallied and set once more in motion the ships of the world prosperity returned to the farms of America.

Why did we draw the sword? Was it to keep up the price of wheat and cotton and to protect trade only? If some one should order you to remain on your farm and not to use the public highways would your resistance be based only on the fear of loss In prop­erty, the profits 'fronl failure to market your crops, the inconvenience in not being able to buy your supplies in town? By no m eans! You would fight to the last gasp, not to make money, but t'o be free.

War Against Slavery.When a man is “enslaved all he loses

in money is his wages. But the white man has never been able to accept slavery for that reason.

What the imperial German govern­ment offered the farmers of America in its ruthless submarine warfare was not the loss o f profits, but slavery to the saber rattler of Potsdam. He pur­posed to make us slaves by murdering the people who take our products to market.

This, then, is the war in which we are fighting. If w e had not declared war, but had accepted the conditions of life ordered for us by the Kaiser, we should today be a poverty stricken people, our factories shut down, our workmen unemployed, our people starving, our farmers ruined by the poverty o f those for whose consump­tion we grew our crops.

Every farmer in the United States must remember that the war has a first mortgage on every cent he has.

Our contribution is, first, our sons and brothers for the trenches; second, the last pound of food products which we can grow by mobilizing our labor supply, utilizing the men, women, chil­dren and the townspeople about us, and, third, money for Liberty Bonds.

Among the most promising reports of co-operatiOn by great industrial companies received by the Liberty Loan Committee in New York is a let­ter from the Todd Protectograpli Com­pany, whose factory and general offices are in Rochester. This company an­nounces it has decided to invest the entire proceeds of its business for April in Liberty Bonds of the third is­sue. The officers expect they will be able to subscribe at least $500,000.

Ship's Rigger, When at Work, Has Realization That Each Moment

May Be His Last.

It Is not the trapeze performer, the steeple-jaek, or the old-time sailor who faces the greatest peril in his work, but the ship’s rigger, who combines all three of these callings. During the present war, with the reappearance of sailing vessels in our ports, the an­cient profession of ship’s rigger had been suddenly revived. The seaports have been scoured to discover old rig­gers, for their service today is invalu­able. The skill and daring of Amer­ican ship’s riggers was once as fa­mous as that of the'Y ankee skippers, says Boys’ Life, the boy scouts’ maga­zine.

When a sailing vessel comes Into port In need of repairs the ship’s rig­ger is the first man aloft. It may be impossible to tell if her rigging will support a man’s weight. The ropes may be covered with ice. The rigger must judge the strength of the ropes with his eye and risk his life upon them. A trapeze performer in the circus must trust his weight to ropes high in air, byt he is sure that they are strong and will bear his weight. The ship’s rigger must swing him self in quite as perilous positions and re­main there for hours, doing the hard­est kind of work.

The sailing of the ship usually w aits upon the repairs he makes, and the expense of maintaining the crew and delaying the ship makes it neces­sary for him to work with feverish haste day and night.

Possibility Ever Open to Mankind as the Periods Dividing Life Are

Successively Crossed.

The poetry of all growing life con­sists in carrying ah oldness into a new­ness, a past into a future, always. So only can our days possibly be bound “each to each by natural piety.” I would not for the world think that 20 years hence I should have ceased to see the things which I see now, and love them still. It would make life weari­some beyond expression if I thought that 20 years hence I should see them just as I see them now', and love them with no deeper love because of other visions of their lovableness. And so there comes this deep and simple rule of any man as he crosses the line divid­ing one period of his life from another, the same rule which he may use also as he passes through any critical occur­rence of his life. Make it a time in which you shall realize your faith, and also in which you shall expect of your faith new and greater things. Take what you believe and are, and hold it in your hand with a new firmness as you go forw ard; but look oh It with con­tinual and confident expectation to see it open Into something greater and truer.—Phillips Brooks.

New Southern Industry.The advantages of New Orleans as a

port were emphasized in the opening of a canning factory for the distribu­tion o f real green-sea turtles. With the exception of a small factory at Key West, it will be the only establishment of its kind In America. The factory has been situated at Miami, Fla., but the excessive freight rates and a lack of steamer service to Central American ports led to its removal to Bay St. Louis. It w ill handle nothing but green- sea turtles caught in Central American waters, and these w ill be put up in four different forms—clear green turtle soup, thick green turtle soup, turtle beef in Creole style, and "callipee,” which is the meat of the turtle taken from the breast, back and flippers. The factory will turn out about 15,000 cans a day, or a total of 700,000 pounds a year, including all products. There is also a by-product called turtle oil, used medicinally.—Fishing Gazette.

Washington Audience Somewhat Sur­prised That Masefield Couldn’t

Spout His Own Verse.

The visit of John Masefield, poet and soldier, to Washington recently at­tracted the attention of scores of peo­ple who have known him through his tales o f the sea ;.;id other stories in verse form.

The auditorium was packed by the hundreds who came to see what a real, live poet looked like. The na­tional capital, in 1918, may claim its full share of sophistication in matters political, but the visit of a poet is an­other thing.

Several years ago Alfred Noyes, fe l­low Englishman of 'Masefield, spoke there, and people were delighted to find him a simple, frank, good-natured fe l­low who had all the earmarks of a successful young business man.

So this time they wondered what Masefield would be like. Would he spout yards and yards of poetry from memory? He was scheduled to read his poems.

Masefield talked about the war.He had been through it, and talked

from personal experience. H e said scarcely a word concerning his poems.

At the conclusion of his talk some one insisted that he give them several

'of his poems.“I’ll have to have a copy,” he said,

simply.Finally, after much search through

the audience, one lone copy of the book needed was found.

Exhibit of Spider Webs.Notwithstanding the fact that a

spider web is so fine and delicate that unless covered with dust or sparkling with dew it is alm ost invisible, the American Museum of Natural History is now displaying a series of these webs, 12 In number, so mounted on dark backgrounds as to be plainly v is­ible. The spiral construction, widen­ing gradually from the center outward, is easily traced. The webs are accom­panied by colored plates of the spiders which spun them. Some spiders live in the web they spin; others spend only the nights there, hiding during the day In retreats often some distance away, w ith a single thread leading to the web. One of the larger spiders, Aranea trifollum, for Instance, spins a thread from the center of its web to a tent made of leaves and silk. Sitting’ in this tent, the spider holds the thread in such a way that it knows when the web is shaken by its Insect prey.— American Museum Journal.

Acts of Heroism Recognized.Twenty-four acts of heroism were

recognized by the Carnegie hero fund commission in its fourteenth annual meeting. In seven cases silver medals were awarded, in 17 cases, bronze medals. Ten of the heroes lost their lives, and to the dependents of nine of these pensions aggregating ?4,'>G0 a year were granted. In addition to these money grants, in two cases, $2 ,- 100 was appropriated for educational purposes, payments to he made as needed and approved, and in 11 cases awards aggregating $8V000 were made for other worthy purposes. Pay­ments in these cases will not be made until the awards have been approved by the commission.

“Ki” in the Navy.Navy cocoa, which Princess Mary

thought might be good to eat as cho­colate, is known aboard ship as ki. It is served out on the first (log watcli every Thursday, and it is drunk when­ever circum stances (in other words, the ship’s “crusher,” or policeman) permit. The men grate down a liberal quantity of it (for ki is less concen­trated than shore cocoa) and drink it mixed in basins with sugar and con­densed milk. At sea a special caul­dron or ki, prepared by the ship’s cook, Is sent round action stations in “fan­nies,” or large pitchers.

DEATH ON GALLOWSModern Germ an Pirates Deserve

F a t e ot Buccaneers of Old.

Sailors Serving on United StatesMerchant Marine Today Knew

Man Who Remembered Fate of Spanish Freebooters,

Stories of piratical methods em­ployed by German submarine com­manders in burning undefended mer­chant vessels and mistreating defense­less crews are no novelty to thousands ■of mariners on the Atlantic coast, such iis are now enrolling for service in the new merchant marine.

Some of these sailors, who are to man the eme. ,->ncy fleet of merchant ships being constructed for the United States shipping board to take supplies to our armies in France, actually knew men who suffered at the hands of the last pirates of the Spanish main, whose methods were similar to those o f the Germans.

Among the men who reported for ■duty as mates recently at the recruit­ing headquarters of the shipping board were some from the M assachusetts coast who had known a survivor of the la st ship taken by Spanish pirates of the Caribbean. This wus Capt. Thomas B’uller of Salem, who tli^d in 1906 at the age of ninety-four.

Captain B’uller was able seaman in the crew of the brig Mexican of Salem In 1832 when, laden with saltpeter and tea, w ith $20,000 in silver stowed un­der the cabin floor, she sailed from her home port for Rio.

On August 29, near the coast of Cuba, the schooner was held up by a vessel described as “a Ion?, low,

stra igh t topsail schooner of about 150 tons, painted black,” which hailed and requested the captain of the Mexican to send a boat alongside with his pa­pers.

The boat was sent, and came back in charge of an ill-looking armed crew of pirates from the Spanish main, who drove the crew of the Mexican below decks, fastened down the hatches, and began looting the vessel. Finding the silver, they sent It aboard their own ship.

The pirates next cut the sails and rigging of the brig to pieces and start­ed a fire in the galley on deck, which they expected would soon destroy the brig. They then departed for their own vessel, and sailed away in search o f other victims.

But they had neglected to fasten down the cabin skylight. Through this the brig's captain crawled, and, getting to the fire, splashed water on it until he had it in control. He then caused It to smoke heavily until the enemy was out of sight.

The crew rerigged their vessel, and favored by a gale made their escape from such a dangerous neighborhood.

Salem sailors today recall with sat­isfaction that the long arm of justice meted out retribution to the pirates.

A few months later a Salem vessel w as in the harbor of St. Thomas, when a low, blaclc schooner anchored near her. The Salem captain was suspicious, and inventing an excuse Went aboard the schooner for a call. On her deck he sew two spars painted black which he recognized as belong­ing to the Mexican.

That night the stranger left the har­bor, but the Salem captain notified a British man-of-war captain of her character.

A few months later the British brig- of-war Curlew caught the black stran­ger in the Nazareth river, a slaving locality on the weBt coast of Africa. T he pirate crew fled to the shore and found shelter with a native. They were hunted hard, and four were taken. Later 11 others were taken at Fernan­do Po and St. Thomas.

The pirates were conveyed to Boston for trial, and found guilty of the at­tack on the Mexican. Their captain, Pedro Gilbert, assumed innocence and the air o f an injured gentleman. He was found guilty, with four others. In sentencing the five to death. Judge Joseph Story used language that re­duced the court to tears, closing with these words to the condemned m en : “And in bidding you, as far as I can presume to know, an eternal farewell, I offer up my earnest prayer that Al­mighty God may in his infinite mercy and goodness have mercy on your souls.”

The five men were hanged in Boston, and with their exit piracy ended in the western world.

How They Became Sammies.It has been reserved to the Paris

Figaro to discover, in the American slang dictionary, the “true” origin of the term “Sammy” as expressive of the American “Tommy,” says the Christian Science Monitor. The expression did not originate in France, but at West Point, in 1870, when a certain Lieuten­ant Mills was manager of the mess. The fare included some formidable sandwiches of bread and molasses. Only the cadet who had consumed six of these substantial sandwiches in suc­cession was allowed to bear the appel­lation of “Sam m y!” All of which sounds like a very plausible attem pt on the part of the French poilu, to dis­claim credit for the cognomen which caused so much dissatisfaction with the American troops when It was first heard at a French landing port.

When Germany plunged the world in war the United States waited—hoping against hope—but there were some Americans who did not wait.

Tou found them, here and there, In the ranks of the British army, among the Canadians and in the Foreign l e ­gion of France.

you found them, too, soldiers of hu- mauity, driving ambulances behind the French front and feeding the men, wo­men and children of Belgium under the very shadow of German authority and relentlessness.

Today, though its work has not stopped, the Commission for R elief in Belgium must do without the service of the Americans in the field. Other neutrals have been found to take their places. The question has been ask ed : What has become of the American field workers o f the Commission for R elief in Belgium?

Some of them are in France. They who once had to work under the Ger­man flag are now proudly working un­der the flags of the two republics. They are inside the lines.Making Belgium and France Whole

Again.One of them, Edward Eyre Hunt,

the former delegate for the province of Antwerp, is now chief of the Bu­reau of Rehabilitation and R elief of the American Red Cross in France. He has at least four of his old associates working in that bureau.

L. C. Wellington, who used to care for the welfare of the people of Lille and Valenciennes and the Belgian province of Luxemlmrg as representa­tive of the Commission for R elief in Belgium, is now in charge of the Ar­ras district as representative of the American Red Cross, where he can al­most see the very towns for which he cared in Belgian commission days.

W. B. Jackson, whose work for the commission w as at Liege, is now depu­ty for the Somme district in France.D. S. Morgan, likewise at Liege, is with Mr. Jackson.

As time goes on more of France and Belgium will be “uncovered” (as Red Cross workers put it in their unvar­nished conversations), and the soldiers of humanity will advance behind the bayonets to repair the wreck of war. They will help, not just to keep life in the inhabitants o f France and Belgi­um, as formerly, but to make Belgium and France whole again—and more than ever themselves.

It is not a charity they are working, but they are co-operating with the peo­ple of these lands to make a fresh start, as the Germans are little by lit­tle got rid of, and what a drama it will be when some of the American workers actually reach the very places they were formerly working in under the German flag, but under the Ger­man flag no more!

All tKe Comforts of Home.] All the conveniences of a seagoing

pleasure yacht have been provided for in a one-ton truck which started on a journey from Boston to Seattle a few w eeks ago. Immediately back of the driver’s seat is a steel framework sup­porting three spring beds, one above the other. To the rear of the beds the

j body of the car takes on the aspect of ! a kitchen and dining room combined. I On one side is a gas stove, a set of

drawers, a sink and a cupboard. On the opposite side is a bureau with

I eight drawers, and an Icebox with a 1 capacity for 50 pounds of ice.—-Popu­

American Red Cross activities ■ In England cover a wide field, ranging from a contribution of $953,000 (£200,- 0 00) to the war work fund of the British Red Cross, to the promotion of social w elfare work Involving wo­men and children.

Every American soldier now enter­ing the trenches carries an American Red Cross comfort kit containing tow­el, shirt, writing paper, pencil, soap, handkerchief, socks, mirror and tobac­co, according to a cable message just received from Major James H. Perkins, American Red Cross commissioner to Europe.

More comfort kits are wanted with socks and tobacco, Major Perkins’ ca­ble stated.

The number of kits cannot be stated, but the fact that every soldier has one means that the work done b.v Ameri­can women is a hist comfort to the soldiers now on the firing line.

This Will Comfort You.Fearing that perhaps the public will

not know the precise character of the w hite substance now covering the earth in large quantities, we hasten to explain th a t.it Is snow, or, in French, n e lg e ; in German, s c h n e e i n Dutch, sneeuw ; in Slavonic, sneig; in Italian, neve.

In small quanties It is harmless and beautiful. In amounts such as are at present w ith us, it defies description in polite language. Snow, neige, sneeuw, etc., etc., Is water-vapor con­densed from the atmosphere and pre­cipitated upon this already troubled earth In a frozen and crystalline con­dition. The article we know as snow is produced when the process of con­densation and fall occurs in a temper­ature below 32 degrees.

We might add, by way of making this explanation complete and clear, that the crystals vary greatly in form and belong to the hexagonal system. They are formed upon a nucleus in the same way as a raindrop.

This, we feel, ought to make cer­tain recent events and present condi­tions much easier to bear.—Cincinnati Times-Star.

W2£th Fighting ForOHALL this little girl grow up in the

sort of American home we know, healthy and happy? Shall she have the advantage of living and learning ia a free land, under free institutions? Shall such children develop into the Liberty- loving citizens that a free America may be proud of?

For over two hundred years Amer­icans have fought valiantly, and died gallantly, to win for themselves and hand down to their posterity the bless­ings of liberty, justice, self-governmen- ment and equal opportunity. This precious heritage, bought at so great a price, is now threatened.

THE QUESTION WHICH TO-DAY CONFRONTS AMERICA AS A NATION AND YOU AS AN IN­

DIVIDUAL, IS WHETHER OR NOT A FREE AMERICA IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR

Are American children in this and all future generations to receive unim­paired the legacy of freedom of which we are now the custodians, or shall their country be turned over bodily to the brutal, rapacious, power-mad ene­my which has forced us into this war?

This question cannot be answered by word of mouth, but by deeds alone.
