PLAY QUEER ROLES
Church SteepleS and Their Part in
the War.
Used for Services of Thanks fer the
Escape of Antwerp and for the
Capture of Belgian
City.
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.
Correspondent United Press.)


Munich.-Church steeples play queer
parts in war. In Antwerp / saw a
man climb almost to the peak of the
ancient cathedral there and fasten a
Belgian flag to a stone gargoyle In
the evening" at sunset, saw Belgian
choir boys standing in their white sur
plices among the bells, and heard their
song of praise that floated over the
old town like a enediction-because
Antwerp had been saved from Yep
pelin.
In Munich / saw another church
steeple playing it's role in war. 1t
was raining, and the peak of the ca
thedral spire doomed dimly above the
lights of the city hall square. But
the tiny lights of candles carried by
German choir boys f1uttered in the
belfry, and, led by an orchestra, the
boys sang a song Of praise-because
Antwerp had fallen
Russian Trick Boomerang.
The newspapers tell of trick which
a German general played on the Rus
slams. In retreating from a town in
eastern Prussia the Russians were
forced to leave behind large guam
tity of bread They poured gasoline
on the bread, and when the Germans
entered the town they found the
smelly mixture surmounted by sign
which read:
1--WE hear that you need both bread
and gasoline. Here they are"
About the same time the Germans
captured a number of Russians. The
German general ordered that the
bread be given the prisoners, and not
a Russian touched his prison fare that
night.
"Sidewalk Strategists" Busy.
There are Sidewalk strategists"
here, too.
We'll go to London when the prop
err time comes" says my waiter. You
know how Germany fooled the world
with her 15-inch guns and her new
submarines. Nobody knew she had
such things. Well, we've got another
trick I'D our sleeves. We've got guns
that will shoot % miles, and that's
two miles more than the width of the
English channel between Calais and
Dover.
"As soon as we take Calais, we will
mount these big guns on granite
foundations, shoot across the channel,
and demolish the forts at Dover. Then
we will sink all the English ships
80
will keep a pathway clear across the
channel of Dover. That way we can
land all the German troops we need
on English soil. At the same time
we will take Ostend and from there
we will send Zeppelins clear to London
to terrify the king.
Time alone will tell how closely
the kaisers strategists will follow my
walters plans.

GERMANS ARE WELL TRAINED
French Officer Finds Their Only Short
coming Is Inferiority in Tacti-
cal Movements.

Paris.-General de Lacroix, the mill
tary expert, writing in the Temps re-
garding the German infantry, quotes a
wounded French officer who has just
returned from the front as saying that
they seemed to him to be troops that
had been extremely well instructed
and possessed undeniable qualities of
prudence, method, knowledge of tao
tics and shooting.
In regard to tactical movement,
however, the officer says the Germans
are obviously inferior to the French
What they chiefly lack is audacity and
keenness.

News for Troops.

London.-F'rance's proposal to sup

a new idea. Il was done in this coun-
try when the cavaliers were fighting
under Prince Rupert as kings body

with news letters giving them infor-

But if an officer happened to be taken
prisoner he made Il point Of honor

"Queer" Money in a1s A. ..

The fact that counterfeiting in coins
existed 1000 years ago was brought to
light when the University of Pennsyl

Egyptian relics recently purchased
were three counterfeiting outfits.
The molds are of brick. The plan
was to make impressions of each side
of coin in soft clay and then burn
the two sides. An opening was left at

AN OLD STEAMBOAT MAN
 WILL SPEND WINTER HERE

After running up to Skagway and other Alaska ports 2S years, having come to Dyea in 'S6, since which time he has been pilot ard master on the Yukon river, operating any where from the City by the Rapids to St. Michael from '9S, Capt. E.. D. Ralston has settled down in Skagway, and has rented home on Ninth avenue, between Broadway and state.
 Ralston's career in the north has been one of the most interesting from a navigatOr's point of view, that it has been our good fortune to meet. Before gold was even dreamed of in the world-famed Klon dike, he was master of the old schooner Charlie" running, when the wind and tide were fair, between Ketohikan, Juneau and Dyea. He 5cs hec.,. ,aaiIofo On InUre ppints, bays and fishing stations than any other man in the North. In 'S7 he ran his boat up into the Skagway flats, and had to await high tide to get off. Yes, he knows all about the run.
 The call of the East took the cap tain from the north from 'SS to '95, but the lure of the North was too strong, and he came back. He located in Circle city, where he tried to make a living as land lubber, but nix, he had to have the water, SO back to his first love ne went, but this time it was not the briny deep, but the bars, rapids and shoals of the mighty Yukon which claimed his attention, Since that time he has seen the miner come and go, some with we'll filled pokes. while others had only the memory of what might have been had kind fate shown them the prec- ious yellow metal.
 About twenty years ago. tiring of blessed singleness, he took unto himself a first mate, and since that time, according to his own words she is the captain, crew. and all Nne rest of the officers on the matri- monial sea.
 For the next few weeks, Captain Ralston, with Mrs. Ralston, will take an outing at Tsnakee springs, where they will hunt and fish, after whicn they will return to slxagway ana spend the balance of the winter waiting for the ice to go out in the spring, when he will again stand his trick at the wheel and become one Of the army or navigators on the | Yukon
