THE SPY IN THE WAR

Only occasional reference is made in on the war in Europe to of the most important departments of military organization We hear much about the relative superiority of the German and the French artillery. about the great value of aeropanes in reconnoissancea value tested and proved in this war for the first time such scale-about the revolution in fighting brought about by the sub marine about the equally important function in this latest of the automobile. But hear very little about the increased opportunity and the in creased activity and efficiency in the the spy.
 To what extent the spy is busy today, and what he has been able accomplish, is well indicat- ed by the military expert of one of the English newspapers writing the extraordinary good infor nation possessed by the Germans concerning the movements, and the contemplated movements. of the British troops News of every shipment of troons from England he says, lis teegraphed Berlin by way of Holland Turkey England and Scotland rotten with spies. It is absurd he goes on "to say that code teegrams accepted when know Is Jack with you? may Irish Guards left for Havre''
 As for the effect of the system of espionage the writer points that Germany has been able to troops to check what promised to be smashing blows their right wing. not because been able to lay before the German general staff details the composition of the forces and the probable time of their movement
 From time immemorial the spy has been one of the dangerous factors with which military men have had deal Death is his punishment when caught Apparently with the increase in methods of communication and the lowering entire obtera- tion of international boundaries in time of war. he is dangerous today than he ever was and has greater opportunities for his important work-Phadelphia Press

literature
(By Georgia Pettijohn)

(By GeOrgla Pettl1Ohn) Good literature is the main source of education We should real all we can of good literature but only the best, as We get nothing educative or beneficial from cheap novels, they only fill our heads with nonsense and oftimeS mischief
 There are many good classics we can read, which are interesting and instructive. Good wholesome monthly papers, such as The Mothers Ma gazine,' "The Ladies Home Journal" or church and temperance papers are good. For the younger folks, Robin son Crusoe," The Swiss Family Roh. inson'' The Pilgrims Progress" will be found interesting and instructive as well, and will satisfy most any young boy or girl.
 We should read all the history we can obtain as it always comes in use ful. We should read all we can about our own country.
 If we keep our heads and hearts filled with beautiful thoughts, We will have no room for evil thoughts, and can therefore crowd out the evil. Good reading and poems will, if you be in terested in them, fill your minds and l hearts with beautiful thoughts
 Reading and understanding are two different things. We derive no good ! from reading unless we understand it thoroughly If you read something and lay the book up and never think of it again it does you no good. When We read we should just not read through the words but be sure we understand the meaning of every word and picture in your mind what you have read. If you cant under stand the meaning of word or phrase don't be ashamed to ask some one who knows. When We thorough ly understand what we have read
 then it does us some good otherwise it does not. We should read only
 what we can understand and not try to read anything too deep for us to
 understand, later on We can read such

HANOCUFF KING ID FORCE
 HIS WAY OUT 0F COFFIN

LeRoy, the king of steel will perform in the presence of a select committee Of undertakers today on the stage of the Coliseum by getting out of casket cOntainer that has been securely sealed in the short space of time relatively known as three shakes The secure ly sealing will be mailing this time, but the limited space in which the handcuff king will work is enough to make the ordinary person shiver. Thirty feet of air alone is left for working and this is distributed around the big body of the escaper.
 Taking the supposed scientific fig ures as a criterion, LeRoy must get out of the box in two minutes or sui locate. He is to use only his hands in getting out, but he will be handcuffed before going into the casket box. H~, invites the keenest inspection of this act in order to prove it's novelty and truth.

SUBSIDIZED MOTOR TRUCKS

Following the early practice in France in en- couraging the utilization of the auto truck among private individuals and firms other powers, such as Germany and Austria, also established subsidy system and the most of these contests conducted a year determine the eligibility of different manufacturers to be granted the subsidy and to have their vehicles subject to army call.
 The subsidies have their object the deter imitation of the fitness of a manufacturers truck to withstand the character of service which it would encounter under actual conditions of war fare The time for holding the test varies in France and Germany, but is usually in the autumn, at which time the roads considered fair average of what they would be throughout the year.
 The practice of granting these subsidies has built up abroad a fleet of motor trucks subject to army requisiton which is astonishing to the Amer ican layman who has not gone into the subject at any length. For instance, in France it is said that there in the neghbOrhood of 3500 motor trucks subject to government requisition all of which have been subsidized and kept by their owners cordng to the terms of subsidies, in such condition as to insure their tenabty should they be called on in an emergency to withstand the vice that would be required of them in hos tes.
 The subsidies average $500 per vehicle, depend- ing on the live-load capacity this being paid to the owler immediately he proves officially war department that he has bought of the toned trucks The buyer of of these subsidized trucks is furthermore granted bonus of s20S a for four successive years thereafter making in all total of S1440 the of his machine which amounts in case of a three-ton truck of of the best type to approximately 40 of it's initial cost.-Engneerng Magazine

life, in health and in strength to meet our daily needs.
 The foreign policy of the United States, based upon the far seeing ad- vice of Washington, has kept this country singularly free from entang- ling foreign alliances. Thousands of miles away from European centers it has been simple task to avoid the jealousies of the old world and to keep friends with all alike We have been engrossed at home in the development of our world. Our time, money. energy and ability has found ready employment Our wealth has increased. our strength has grown until we are ready for a place in the field of international commerce It is not selfish to say that this war gives the nation it's opportunity for com mercial expansion. Our sorrow in the suffering of Europe is not lessened by the thought that her inability to serve the world gives our country a chance to try the fitness of it's busi- ness men to meet the great necessi- ties of world wide commerce.
 We are thankful for the oppor- unity: thankful for our resources; thankful for our wealth and thank ful that the great men of the nation in business and in official life are meeting the emergency.
 Tn the sudden rupture of a thous- and ties which bound us to Europe uncertainty and distress must inevit- ably have resulted. They touch US
 on all sides. They bring their les
 sons. In the height of our prosperity
 we were careless. reckless of the fu- ture. Our present situation is sober | ing. Even staggering. We are learn | ing to count the cost of life: to sep
 arate the necessities from the luxur- i ies; real pleasures from sensual en- l joyment. Perhaps this experience is solving for us the seemingly i'm possible riddle of the cost of living
 For the necessaries of life. for the

 Consider for a moment In 1893 when creditors became alarmed they called their loans Debtors unable to respond were forced to surrender their property or to sell it for what they could get Prices dropped so that securities held by banks be- came impaired and, confidence failing. banks closed and panic swept the country, wrecking railroads. factories and mercantile houses. All because the individual striving to make him. self safe forgot that his brothers interest was his first concern How different now. The business world has learned it's lesson in rart at least This year the struggle has been to help the weak; for each to carry not only his own load but to help his less fortunate neighbor Can there | be any doubt that there is less of suffering, less loss?
 The nation returns thanks today for peace, for the abundance of the year gone by, for the wealth which makes it possible in some measure to mitigate the misery of Europe. for | the Christian spirit of forbearance which has saved this country from 1 financial prostration.
 The thankfulness of the church was voiced by Rev. j. Redwood Jenkins l Following the conclusion of the ser ] vice the flowers were taken down and sent to St. Luke's home,--WhiIe the offering taken at the service will 1 be handed over to the Associated Charities for use by that organiza- tion.
