There is absolutely no data by which
this question can he answered. Some
years ago sensational story was pub
lished to the effect that the Irish were
the greatest deserters and they left the
army upon the recognition of the South
ern Confederacy by the Pope of Rome
This was absolutely baseless. as the
Pope OF Rome did not recognize the
Southern Confederacy. and the War
Department has never collated the re-
turns as to deserters with reference to
their nativity. No one can say with any
basis OF truth that one nationality was
more prone to sneak out Of tho army
than others.-Editor National Tribune.

When we left Dutchman Creek that

found that. over a hundred vehicles
had followed in our path and that the
road was made fairly good.
We drove through rough, wild
rock-covered country, where there was

drove through beds of waterrwashed

At last we succeeded in getting him
to understand. He numbered heavily
over to the wagon and passed what
seemed to US interminable minutes in
showing his revolver into his pocket.
Then, clup1si1y and awkwardiy as q
decrepit old man, he attempted to
crawl into the wagon. In doing SO he
fell fat over. on my shoulder. The
