France Hasn't the Men

The French war. office has won its fight
for the extension Of the term of military
service from two years to three. This
will enable 1T to increase the size Of the
army SO as to keep pace with Germany.
Under the two years system the army
has consisted of only $500 men avail
able for use In Europe, while Germany
has now no fewer than $4,000. Such dis
parity was intolerable, and so the three
years system was demanded. under which
the army will be increased by 10000 men,
bringing It's total UP to $4,000 men, says
the New York Tribune.
1t is bitter reflection to Frenchmen,
however, that even under the three years
system. which drafts recruits at 20 in
stead of y years, France cannot yet keep
up with Germany under the two years
system. and there must be certain fear
full looking forward to the time when
some further and more stringent meas
ure will be needed to keep the French
army somewhere near the German in
numbers For 1t Is mathematically cer-
tain that country with small and
stationary population cannot keep up
with one with a far larger and rapidly
growing population without resorting to
extraordinary means.
The radical trouble in France is the low
birth rate and consequently stationary
population. Unless that trouble is reme-
died it is certain that In q few years

Hornisher says his father John Hor-

to obtain the bonds, but was unsuccessful

About eight months ago Hornisher says
his father again entered into LITIGATION

the government of Austria Hungary. The
bonds had been taken over by the Ger

Simmons Blames "Brace of Jims'' in
Senate for Unnecessary Delay
in Accepting Conferees'
Report on Tariff
BY c. e. STEWART.


Washington, October 4-(Special) Sem
ator Simmons failed to call the bluff
Of the recalcitrant senators Wednesday
by forcing vote on the conferees report,
and the result was another delay on final
action on the tariff bill making a DEM
ocratic caucus necessary. The chairman
of the finance committee fears the army
behind him and is forced into the posi-
ton of tying to unite too many vaying
interests.
One of the principal objectors to the
conferees' report was Senator Salisbury
of Delaware. The Delaware statesman
has been putting up hard fight for zante
currants, which are practically the same
thing as seedless raisins, and used almost
exclusively by a concern in the United
States for the making of mince pies.
They are grown in Greece and there is
at present a duty of cents per pound ON
them which was retained by the House.
Quite a little revenue was derived from
this one importation. and they are used,
as before stated, almost exclusively by
a trust
Statue for Delaware Man
Through the efforts Of Salisbury the 2
cents was taken off in the Senate and
they were put upon the free list, but in
conference Mr.. Underwood fought for this
revenue and finally succeeded in getting
the duty fixed at III cents per pound. So
valiently has Salisbury fought for the
Greek industry that the grateful people
of that country contemplate erecting a
Sfa tive 10 tJ,n Da1o
placing 1t in one of their famous gall
leries.
But horrible situation has arisen! 1t
has been suggested that il he failed to
make good on the elimination of the q
cent rate the statue might never have
been contemplated.
AS Y cent per ponud duty on these cur
rants creates a revenue of S165,OO0 an
nually, the treasury would be exactly shy
that amount and the people of the United
States are asked to make this generous
wares distinguished son. The House
conferees agreed to the VI cent reduction
in a spirit of compromise, but alas this
does not satisfy. Saulsbruy is contend
ing for another " cent; he wants the ul-
| innate consumer to go $3.50 900 toward his
| statue each year If the tariff law stands
upon the statute books for 20 years we
are donating the sum of $6,600,000 that the
heroic figure of Senator Salisbury may
delight the lovers of art in ancient Greece.
Certainly the Delaware senator will be
able to boast of the most expensive statue
ever erected to an American statesman.
1t has been suggested as further mark
of esteem that still further contribu-
tior be made in order that there may
be inscribed on the statue a suitable sem
timent In gold letters to the great pro-
tector of our national pie of commerce" ;"

That Vibration Jinx

After long ride you often tired and you
don't know why. It's the vibration jinx in the
crank case. 1t means the moving parts are too
heavy or fraction out of balance
Vibration is overcome in the Chalmers by
forging connecting rods stronger and yet 40
per cent lighter than the average; by giving
the motor an extra long stroke and so reduce
ing the number of strokes: by balancing all
moving parts on a delicate scale. Even the
clutch and the timing gears balanced with
the rest of the motor.
The smoothness of the six saves wear on
the car as well as on the passengers. The i'm
terval between the explosions OF any -Four
makes a gap in the power stream. 1t produces
a vibration that hammers constantly at the
life of the car. There's no escape from It, The
explosions of the six give an unbroken
stream of power. 1t gives smoothness and
economy that -Four" can equal. 1t adds
years to the life of the car.

The Beauty of the Car

AS the Chalmers motor is made better the
car is made handsomer.
The Chalmers company spent $4,000 in new
equipment to give you its long oval tenders;
not alone for. the added beauty, but for their
utility we'll.
Bodies are big and bell-shaped. Plenty OF
room to stretch your legs in either seat Doors
are wider than usual, with concealed hinges.
They tit so snugly that all mouldings dis
pensed with.
Extra tires carried in the rear leaving
the running boards clean as Il quarterback.
everything about 1t tends to give the New
Chalmers six the flowing, stream-line ef-
feet of a graceful steam yacht.

she was happy, and some of the boys snif1ed a bit, just because she was crying. Then there was all the jolly fun that goes with tree.
 But soon they took her away. She was so tired that she fell asleep right after they put her back in bed. She dreamed that she saw flock of sheep with their shepherds on great plain. Suddenly there was great light from above and she seemed to hear angels singing.
 She awoke. The singing did not stop. She arose and opened the win dow.
 There, in the moonlight under her window stood her. Choir Brothers with lighted candles, like the Christmas carol singers of Old England. They were singing this hymn:
 "Hark! the Herald Angels sing"
 When the verse was finished the Choir Sister leaned out and called down to them:
 Brothers, you have made me love God whole lot more. A merry Christmas to you all!"
 And to you!" they echoed.
 As the Choir Sister crept back to bed she heard the voices of the boys die away in the distance. Then a great snow-white world rang out the very hymn the boys had been singing and the Choir Sister fell asleep.

Next day people in church thought

Next day people in church thought the boys sang the Christmas hymns better than ever. But the people did not know that just before the boys marched in the Choir Master had told them a plan by which the Choir Sis ter would have a Christmas she would never forget
 At evening the janitor's doorbell rang. The Choir Mother opened it, and in came the Choir Master and a lot of boys with red cheeks and smfl- ing faces. Back of the others four Of the biggest boys dragged through the door small Christmas tree.
 They set the tree up in the parlor. Everyone was still. for they didn't want the Choir Sister to know any thing about it till it was all ready. Soon the candles were in place, and the trimmings, and they lit the can. dies, and each boy placed a package under the tree, and then wonderful thing happened!
 The door opened and the Choir Mother and the Choir Master walked in, carrying between them a litle stretcher, and upon that lay the Choir Sister.
 You should have seen her facei You could almost see the light of the can. d1es sparkling in it, so happy was she! The boys held their breath, won

kind was she that all the boys loved her.
 It was easy to like the Choir Sister, too, because she played ball with the boys before rehearsals., And those nights when the Choir Master let them invite their frienls in for games she was the girl most of them wanted for partner.
 So anyone can see why the boys were blue when Ricky Jackson, her brother, came into the choir room Christmas eve and said:
 ''Mil'' (short for Mildred, her real name) isn't going to have any Christ masi"
 The boys stopped right there, some with their choir clothes only half on. If they didn't find out right away what was the matter with the Choir Sister, the Christmas eve service would have to go without their singing.
 So Ricky told how she had come down that morning with funny tired feeling, and sniff1ing and hot cheeks, and had to stay in bed, and how she cried when she thought of the tree she was going to miss.
 You can see why that Christmas eve service was not as happy as it should have been for these boys. Af- terward, when the tree was lighted with the starlike candles and the Sun day school room was filled with boys and girls opening their presents, each choir boy was thinking of the Choir Sister, lying there at home, wishing she could be with them.

and chocolates and gum-drops were heaped in pyramids, with trays of fudge and molasses-candy in between.
 She stopped, and, without any he's itation this time, gave them each a cent.
 Her chain purse was empty now, her exhilarating occupation gone, and she stood, forlorn little figure in her ermine and velvet, on the corner of the crowded street.
 She had remained thus for some lit- tie time when she heard a quick step behind her and she was quickly grasp ed by strong but kindly hands and swung on to the steps.
 "So-ho!" said a big man, who had come up the street. Its Mistress Elizabeth Rockerby! What are you up to, Betsy Jane?"
 Cousin Bob!" gasped Elizabeth.
 Yes, Cousin Bob,' and now. cry your trail,' little sister!'
 1T ran away" falterer Elizabeth.
 well, come along in and I'll intro duce you to the cousins,'' said Cousin Bob, cheerfully, and then I'll phone 'em up and tell them that it's our turn to have you.'
 And Elizabeth snuggled her fingers happily into her big cousins hands as she stepped forward into a new life.
