Kane, president of the State Uni

But according to the deposed pres

he is now in direct touch with all the

KITCHENER,S MAN

Some picture him with anguished brow
Among his weeping womanknd.
The baleful hour has struck and now
He leaves the happy years behind.
He goes. for duty sounds the call;
'Tis his to keep our England free
From a devouring tyrants thrall.
Alas! that 1t should be!
But have seen him straight and strong,
His spirits obviously high,
Waving toward the cheering throng
That stands to watch him marching by.
His eye with martial ardor beams.
He cries. Are we downhearted? No!!i"
Or chants that Tipperary seems
long, long way to go!
His chin is high, his shoulders squared,
His heart Is throbbing to the drums,
He knows his task and is prepared
To do his best, whatever comes,
When King and Country spoke their need
They did not have to ask him twice.
He speaks of privilege" indeed.
Never OF "sacrifce!"

LIQUOR MEN PROFESS THEIR
READINESS TO SHOW BOOKS
Deny That Their Records Are Being
Removed From City.

Leaders of the liquor men backing Sem
ator Penrose in the senatorial campaign
are evincing interest in the progress of
the investigation started in Washington
to dig into the Penrose primary election
"slush fund"
Denlas were made yesterday By sew
eral liquor leaders that they were spirit
ing their books out of the State With
one accord they said they welcomed an
investigation OF any kind and said they
would be glad to give the Senate Com
mittec any assistance.
Neil Bonner, president of the Pennsyl
vania Federation of Liquor Dealers,
frankly admitted that he and other Of
flcers of the various liquor mems or
sanizations were advising their constitu-
ents to vote for Penrose. Bonner said
he had visited State Democratic Chair
man Morris and tried to persuade him
that the Democrats keep the liquor ques-
tion out of their campaign. Failing in
this. he said he and his colleagues had
gone to the support of Penrose for their
own protection.
''It is quite true that we solicit funds
from our members-S25 EACH" said Bon
ner. But this money Is solely for the
upkeep of our organization. Whether any
money got to Penrose. as alleged, Is a
matter of which l know nothing. But
we are not alarmed over this investiga-
tion. and are ready for them at any
time"
Charges that the Anti-Saloon League
was fostering the Penrose investigation,
and that back OF them stood political in
terests. were made by Charles F. Ettla.

SUSPECT GERMAN PLAN TO

And since the Poles first won fame as
uhlans 50 today a large part of the
Uhlans are Poles and men from the east
ern part of the empire.
The Uhlans originally were not only
picturesque because of their spears and
pennants, but they were garbed in uni
forms distinctly Oriental and caparisoned
their mounts in gaudy fashion. In recent
years the uniforms have been more sober
and the horses have been relieved of all
possible burden
1t was Frederick the Great who intro
duced the first great cavalry epoch,
though his early experiments were dis
astrCus. His cavalry was all heavy cav
airy in every sense His horse soldiery
were Sc encumDered that speed greater
than trot was never essayed, and a trot
could only be maintained for few hun
dred yards.
After smashing defeat one of Fred
erick's generals told him that the secret
of victory lay in the legs of the soldiers
and that horses that could not go into
action at top speed and keep up that
speed undiminished for 1000 yards were a
drawback to an army. Frederick took
the matter to his heart and developed
cavalry that had speed and dash and
that carried no unnecessary weight. From
that time on Germany has been a cav
airy nation and now mounts its men on
animals that can go top speed for more
than three miles.
MILLIONS FOR HORSES.
To get horses with the speed and the
bottom for such work as the Kaiser's
generals demand of the Uhlans and Cui-
rassiers, Germany has secured the world
and paid millions of dollars for breed
ing animals. The State maintains breed
ing farms that supply many of the horses
for tile army and private producers are
with good prices to raise
army grade animals.
Just as every man in Germany Is a
soldier. every horse in Germany Is po-
tentially war animal. Every horse in
the empire is registered and when mobi-
izaton is ordered each owner must
bring to the headquarters in his district
al his horses There the animals are
examined by military veterinary sur
Seons and such as are fit for war work
ARE turned over to the army at once.
Later. military board decides what
each animal was worth, and the owner
