About 10 a. m. of October 20, the

four tunnels and no flag, accompan-
led by a small steamer, the Farm,

h Karlsruhe stood straight down
for the Vandyck. Captain Cadogan,
seeing nothing better to do. kept on
his course. Ranging alongside, the
cruiser broke out the German impe-

The father told them that it was

But they listened not. They pull

ahead of bayonets. to every house in
the village where there was a man.
They found thirteen. Then they stood
these UP against the wall of the

be brought to life again by a little
pricking with the bayonet.
THE British often lay out dummy
trenches. setting up turnips or Clods
of earth to deceive US. The firing i.
taking full advantage of lies so
far In front or behind these trenches
that 1t suffers very little from our fire,
directed against the supposed trench
es. 1t often happens that we came
under heavy infantry n machine
gun fire from the edge of a wood. re
turned the fire and stormed the wood,
to find only when We entered it
the defenders were in the treetops. not
on the ground. AS to patrols. l have
often followed British patrols for
some distance with the glass and
far as I could see they missed none
thing which cannot always be said Of
our patrols.
Night Fighting Plan.
In night fighting the enemy often
follows tactics new to us. 1t is our
rule in night fighting to refrain from
shooting, If possible. but to use the
bayonet and to shoot in any case on
ly when it is light enough to aim. The
allies, on the contrary, have in many
instances adopted for infantry the
same principle as for artillery fire
namely, that of strewing a certain
area by night with fire.
The village Of Becelaere. which
my regiment had stormed and occu-
pied after nightfall. was subjected for
hours to such a hail of infantry fire
that We finally had to evacuate 1t. We
then occupied trenches near Becelaere
and were subjected the whole night
through to fire from infantry and ma
chine guns. which caused us little loss,
1t Is true, but gave the tired troops not
an instant's rest. That probably was
the enemy's intention"

French and sardinians, under Marshal
MacMahon, inflicted a sensational de-
feat on the Austrians and MacMahon
won his title Of Duke of Magenta.
The color magenta Is interesting in
another way. 1t was one Of the first
OF the aniline dyes to be invented. 1t
was a very brilliant crimson, and it
had an enormous popularity for that
reason. 1t was the first time that peo-
pie had seen the peculiar brilliancy of
aniline glare. The mass Of people did
like it from the first, but people with
any pretensions to aesthetic taste
counted 1t a fatal defect of the new
aniline colors. The chemists tried to
meet their criticisms. and succeeded in
~softening or '%saddening' many aniline
oolors. Nowadays Post-Impreesionism
has upset aesthetics. and the brilliant
colors which the mass of unsophistica-
ted people %innocently loved all along
have now got fairly into fashion"

EAST PRUSSIAN REFUGEES, RETURNING AFTER RUSSIAN
RETREAT, FIND ONLY CHARRED REMNANTS OF THEIR HOMES

K~onigsberg. East Prussia. Nov. 20.
THAT part of East Prussia which
was overrun during the Russian in
vasion is today little more than a des-
ert waste. Where were thriving little
villages and towns today may be seen
only b~lackened ruins. When the East
Prussian refugees returned after the
Russian retreat they found their
homes in ruins, their barns and crops
destroyed.
Torture, murder, incendiarism, rob.
berry and attacks on women. These
were the five characteristics that
marked the Cossacks wherever they
appeared on German territory. The
destruction of property was perhaps
the least harmless Of their diversions.

Ihefae and washington each year Oil
public or official business I have
frequently had to travel from my
home to Washington and return on
matters %concering my district when
congress was not in session, and of
course no mileage is ever paid for
these trips. In addition to this a con-
|gressman has to travel to his district
l-or should do SCAT frequent inter-
Evals, in order to keep in touch with
the people and their needs. These
trips are entirely outside his regular
lcampaign trips. If it were feasible to
pay congressman their actual expen-
ses while on official business that
would, I think, be a better solution;
II would not seriously object to abol-
ishing the mileage altogether. But it
has been the custom for a great many
years to pay congressman at the rate
of twenty cents a mile between their
homes and Washington once each
year, and that is the law Of the land
now. The law was made by honest
mentor the great majority of con-
gressmen are honest men-anC. 1t has
been enforced by honets men. They
have v felt that they were taking
anything that they were not Justly
entitled to. 1t would be silly to de-
nounce as grafters those who have
voted for this law.
This matter of twenty cents per
mile for congressman has been pretty
thoroughly discussed more than once
in the Third District. My position has
always been just what it is now, and
] have had abundant cause to believe
that the people are willing for their
congressman-whoever he may be-to
receive a decent salary, and to re-
ceive a .decent-not exhorbitant-sum
as mileage.
During the sissions of congress a
member Of congress has to leave his
home. If he is a man of family-and
most members Of congress have fami-
lies-he has to leave them at home
or take them with him to Washing
ton. If he leaves them at home he has
to make frequent trips back to see
them. No member of Congress, unless
he is a bachelor, comes out even on
the twenty cents mileage allowance,
but I for one did Lot feel like voting
to pay the travelling expenses of each
member Of my family between my
home and Washington for each SEES
sion of congress, and so voted against
the proposition. I am perfectly will
ing for the people to judge as to my
course, but they are entitled to know
the facts in the case.
Very truly,
WYATT AIKEN.

so steadily to New York for the past
century, will now follow the gulf

warrant this conclusion, the most po-
tent being the opening up Of the Pan

which appeals to the immigrant above
