WILL SOFTEN FATE
OF WAR PRISONERS
Germany to Allow Them
to Write to Friends and
Receive Letters.

London. Sept. 18.-The British official
press bureau says the government has
received information that the German
government is prepared to communl-
cate lists of British prisoners IN It's
hands in return for similar information
as to German prisoners mere.
IL is contemplated that such lists,
which will include information as 10
the physical condition Of prisoners, VIII
be intcrchanged periodically.
ARRANGEMENTS are also being made
for the transmission TO Germany OF
letters. parcels and money orders for
prisoners. The German government IN
tends to permit correspondence be-
tween British prisoners and their
friends i'm England.
The Austrian government, 1t Is also
announced, intends 20 grant similar IN
cilities with regard to prisoners IN its
hands.
Paris, Sept. 1S.-Among the wounded
prisoners in the hospital at Saint Man
drier is the Count OF HOhenthal and
Bergen, n lieutenant in the Saxon cav
ally Of the Imperial Guard and son
Of the Saxon Minister OF Foreign Al
fairs He was made prisoner at
POnt -arMousson.
At the hospital at Compiegnc a nom
commissioned officer named Won Putt
kamer, the son OF a German statesman,
died after several days in agony. He
was wounded in both eyes by fragments
Of shells, one arm WAS crushed and
there were also DGyoret wounds in his
thigh. Won Puttkamer begged the sur
ccons 10 save his sight, az he wanted

troops.
Two more Germans, woman and her
daughter, suspected Of spying, were
driven from Saint Michel -Orgc
amid the hootings Of the populace yes
to-day. VoluminOus spondenee
with German officers has been seized.
Paris newspapers contain complaints
from different quarters against the
laniency Of the French government
toward German subjects leaving Paris
for provincial points. Some Of these
Germans have disappeared, and it is
thought likely they have resumed their
vocation of spying.
Beginning to-day, no automobiles

military ambulanccs and cars carrying
officials and journalist bound 70 and

Two cars, orc black and one green,
have been speeding around the out

of sentinels. Both automobiles were
driven by chaufcurS wearing French
uniforms and carrying passengers in

A Genuine Love Match

The approaching marriage Of Mss

season Notwithstanding the dis

otherwise, are almost as much in
love with her as their father.

The Newspaper And The Public.

A newspaper is the only business
that is supposed to be run for the
benefit Of everybody except those
directly interested.
The lawwer is supposed to fight
for his clients honor or his clients
life, for fee.
The doctor is supposed to fight
for his patients health or his pa
tents life, for a fixed charge.
The merchant is supposed to sell
his goods to his customers, at a set
tied price.
The minister is supposed to preach
to his congregation, for a regular
salary.
But the newspaper is supposed to
fight the publie's battles without
money and without price. And,
moreover, the newspaper lives up to
the expectations Of the public and
does this very thing.
For no newspaper worthy the
name will sell its news columns or
its editorial columns for price.
There is nothing that does so
much to build up a city or section as
the newspapers Of that city or Sec
ton. All the trade bodies ofa town,
all the combined efforts Of its busi-
ness men, cannot do what a news
paper can do and does do for city
or section, if conducted along legiti-
mate lines.
A newspaper receives its revenue
from. only two subscriptions
and advertising. The subscription
list Of any paper will pay only one
third Of its operating expenses. A
paper that is sold for IS cents .
week is worth at least three times
that sum, in actual cost OF produc'
ton, leaving no margin whatever
for profit.
But, as competition is the life o
trade, so advertising is the backbone
of business and it is here that th'
newspaper publisher, the advertiser
and the community meet on com
mon ground of profit.
The newspaper is necessary t.
the life Of trade. Trade is neces
sary to the life of the newspaper
Both are necessary to the life of tn
community.
TheneWspaper, like every othe
business, must be run on busines
principles. In order to serve tn

Mad Men.

A poet once depicted the story Of
a mailman, with a chain around
his neck, who spent his life 10 search
ing the beach in search Of the phil
osopher's stone, a stone which,
when applied to the iron chain,
would transform It to gold. Day
after day, week after week and year
after year this man, on bended knee,
would range the beach Of the ocean,
picking up small stones, press them
to his chain Of iron, and then cast
the pebble aside. Finally, when
he had grown old, wrinkled and de-
crepit, a small boy who CHANGED to
be passing, asked the mad-man
what he was doing. The old, white
haired, wrinkled man told the boy
of his search for the philosophers
stone. why, said the boy, the
chain around your neck is gold.
The old man looked closely at the
chain, and, to his surprise, it had
turned to gold.
The mad-man mad found the phil
osopher's stone, in other words his
opportunity, but, in his eagcrness,
indifference, habit, he had thrown
away the stone which had turned
his chain to gold. He had picked
up thousands Of pebbles, applied
them to the iron chain, and threw
them aside. The one he was look
ing for, Opportunity" had been
cast aside with all the rest. BY force
Of habit ne had mechanically gone
on with his work, giving little atten.
ton to what he was doing. But ir
doing 50, he had thrown away hi:
Opportunity" Now he was ar
old man. The years Of his labo
had been lost forever.

Our Girls,

There are just two things that will

they begin to think Of longer dresses

and the other is home duties. The
girls we see making fools Of them-
selves are almost invariably over.

men Of Thirty should hesitate about
wearing
A little girI with too many and too
costly clothes on her bacl, gets self
conscious and vain and loves admi-
ution-and you grown ups know
the next steps. a simple, pure
hearted gid who has a place in a
home, home work and home duties,
has her heart there, and no boy can
steal it. Even when maturity comes,
and a real man comes, and a real
affair Of the heart comes, will such a
gf leave home, and then only after
a heart fending But a girl who is
at home only at the table and late
bedtime won'tlove that home. Work
makes things sacred. The child
whose home memories are not hal.
lowed by work, who is not needed,
and does not ieel the need, will not
love the home. Aad II she does not
love the home Of her girlhood, she
will love no other. She will 60 any
where for anything. Home will
mean nothing to such woman and
II she is respectable, she will only
lack the opportunity to be a bad
woman, and is good only through
circumstances or by the necessity of
an ugly face. She will curse any
man she marries.
The mothers who are responsible
for the girls who Cad the streets
should stop to think what they are
doing. These girls are no longer
children. They are at an impres.
sionable age. Where will you have
their impressions come from-from
the riffraf Of the streets or from

The day has passed when the

The Story Of ESOgyra.

Many thousands of years ago, be-
fore the birth Of the Rocky Noun
tainS and when the shores ot the
Atlantic Ocean and oi the Cult Of
Mexico lay iar inland from their
present posItion-when, indeed, the
North American continent was rela-
lively very smill-thefe lived In the
seas and estuaries, together with
various species OF oysters, vast
numbers OF closely related m0lIusk
with a twisted Shell which IS NOW
known to science as EXogyra As
the years passed. the colonies of
Exoeyra tourished, and the places
Of those that died were taken BY
younger members, while the old
shells became entombed within the
SlowlyacGmulatint deposits Of sand,
mud and Shiny ooze. In The pro-
gress OF the centuries there develop
ed in the shape and omamentatIon
Of the shells certain changes that
Were sufficiently pronounced to en-.
able the specialist Of today net only
60 distinguish thc shells ot members
Of the original colonies from those
Of their descendants but also to
recognize several distinct varieties
among the later shells.
In the course Of time-a very long
time, for we are speaking geological
ly-the stresses which had accumu-
lated within the earth during an
extended period Of quiescence found
relief in movements Of the outer
crust which brought about the upIift
Of the Rocky Mountains and mateu-
ally altered the shape and size Of the
ocean basins. The resultant shifting
Of the ocean currents produced
changes in the temperature of the
water and in the abundance and
character Of the food supply The
| unfortunate Exogyra, unlike his
more hardy cousin, the oyster, was
unable to adapt himself to the
changing physical conditions and
became extinct.
After the lapse Of ages the retreat
Of the seas from the borders Of the
continent brought above sea level
the sediments, now turned to stone
and covered by a mass Of latter de-
posits, which contains the fossil
shells Of the Exogyra. Subsequent
erosion by rain and running water
has carved valleys and ravines which
expose, from top to bottom, the
fossiliferous sediments and enable
