THE BEST WAR STORIES.
(By Will Owen)


 l think one of the funniest stories that have heard in connection with the war is one of two Jews-the one German and the other Russian.
 At dead of night, they leave their respective trenches-each bearing a banner.
 They meet in the no mans land be- tween the trenches, exchange ban ners, and silently return with their trophies, and are both decorated for their prowess. Business as usual!
 (By Harold Begbie)
 Of humorous stories like best that of the old sergeant who said cheer fully to a rather dismal regiment just arrived from England at one of the bases: Come, my lads, buck up; it's only the first seven years of a war that are really bad"
 (By Alfred Lester)
 Army doctor to officer friend watching recruits march by: Its strange how one can tell by a lit tie observation what a mans occupa- tion was previously to joining the colors. For instance, look at Private Jones there-I1l bet he was clerk, for he is always trying to put his rifle behind his ear!''
 (By Horace Annesley VachelD
 The following story illustrates the Irishman's well known love of fight ing: A wounded Tommy, belonging to the Leinsters, who had been in several bayonet charges, regretted his inability to deal more than one Hun at a time.

 UPHELD

Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 20.-In a de- supreme court sustained the eight hour law limiting the employment of women, and reversed the judgment of the lower court in the case of the state vs. the Dominion Hotel company
 If Globe
 Action was brought against. the hotel company on the ground that it had violated the eight-hour law in employing one Ada Tessmer, a wait ress, for more than eight hours in one day. It is also charged that the period of employmentgshad GOV cred a period of more than twenlve hours, also forbidden by the law.
 E The law prescribes certain e1cep- tiohs to these limitations. They are not applicable to railroad eating houses, located upon railroad rights of way, and operated by or under control of any railroad company. or to telegraph or telephone offices or exchanges under certain conditions, Or to female nurses. Judge Shute of the superior court of Gila county sustained the demurrer of the hotel company on the ground that the law was unconstitutional, stating that the defendant was not given equal protec- the law with railroads res .taurants,i or other ablishments the law has been largely disregardea throughout the state;.'..

War Preventing pueIs.

BUDAPEST. Hungary, Sept. 14.-In suppression of the duelling mania in Hungary the war has accomplished more in six months than the law had been able'>to do in 20 years. Up to a year ago it seemed that nothing coulds be done to stop duelling. Not withstanding all legal prohibitions, such, an important parsonage as the minister president, Count Stephen Tisza, continued fighting duels, hay ing had a,sdozen to his credit, six of them during his term of office, and openly defyillg all the penalties threatened by law.
 tS 1E t-st six month of the war, the change was so marked that fewer duels were fought during that period nan had ordinarily taken place in 6 single week before. Since last sHrins not a single. case of duelling Las been re"orted, in contrast with t C .fact that during one week in ,Tret 19i4s 54 dhels were recorded in Budapest alone.
 How public opinion has changed on iris question of duelling is shown in a -ecuE-ti.t --cently published in the
 ---''ri.ln papers. A provincial law yer ll.,ue so-4e dis arr ring remarks ,,ll1 he s~nsr in tl-c :.--yserce of a oul.ded officer, who resented his { al3uct in very sharp language. The wyer sent a challenge but the sec cad met and drew up a document $ tt:as forth that an officer ready to sacrifire his life for his country, was s.ot nb iged to give the so-called satisfaction" and that in the present war the life of every soldier, and of every civilian, was too precious te be risked in duelling.
 The anti-duelling league which has long existed in Hungary, expresses the hope that this evil has been over come, not only for war times but also in peace.
 Deputies Cause Friction.
 PARIS, Sept IA. - Doubts have arisen in France as to the wisdom oi allowing members of the chamber oi deputies to serve in the army and while doing so return to Paris from time to time and criticise the minister of war and the conduct of the war Two hundred deputies, or one third oi the membership of the lower house oi parliament, are in active service, some as privates but most of them as junior officers rarely above the grade of captain. They were reserve off cers before the war A few of them are restless intriguers who in their double capacity of military men al the front who with the right to leave their commands for Paris at any time

ASSOCIATED PRESS
 CORRESPONDENCE

CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 14.-Al- though the Turkish soldier is hard ened to artillery, machine gun and rifle fire, he is still so terrorized by the aeroplane that the mere sight of one sends him to cover.
 The fear of the flying machine is due, of course, to the effect of the bombs and darts that are thrown by the aviators, but there are psycho- logists among the Turkish officers man-bird largely arises from the IacL that men still carry the bloody mem- ory," as evolutionists call it, of the days when human beings were the prey of huge winged creatures.
 But the aeroplane bomb has qual ities of it's own to make it a fearful thing. Unlike the artillery projec- tile, it has no trajectural curve, against which cover can easily be ob- tained. In addition, although the scatter area of either the aeroplane bomb or the steel darts is small, it is in the form of a complete circle while the scatter area of the artillery projectile lies almost straight forward of the explosion. For this reason, an infantry position that is well protect ed against the artillery and small arms fire is still open to attack from above
 Another factor that makes the aero plane bomb feared is that it contains high explosives of sort that cannot be employed in artillery ammunition, fn ifu fn shock. Most of the British and French aeroplane shells dropped on the Gal Ipoli peninsula contain nitro-gela- tine, mixture of nitro-glycerine and cellulose, the two making an explos- sive that is 9S per cent pure, which, in other words, is all converted into heat with the exception of about two per cent.
 The shattering effect of this ex- bomb is terrific. At it's best the or dinary artillery shell flies into but a small number of fragments, but the aeroplane bomb is shattered com 'pleteIy. Its fragments usually show edges that are as sharp as that of a razor. and wounds caused by them are deep lacerations,, az.
 's The aeroplane bomb :'splinter" has shattering effect upon small bones, but hitting a large bone it will firm ly imbed itself. The artillery pro- jectiie fragment hardly ever does this. TheAwounds caused by it are as rule fatal or easily cured, while those $ caused sby the aeroplane bomb are what surgeons term vicious" While the artillery splinter" owing to an absence of great velocity at mean dis tances, takes direct course in mak ing q wound, the aerial bomb -frag ment, becadse of it's smalIness, shape sharp edges and greater velocity, lit orally blows zigzag route through the. human body. Were it not that { the Roentgen rays make the location of the fragment, possible. the mortal |, ,ity from the effects of aeroplane bomb wounds would he appallingly great.

Of CREWS
RECORDED BY BRITISH
ADMIRALTY TODAY

London, April Gothic heroism Of
volunteer crews Of two British putrol
boats which steamed into the Dardan.
elles and destroyed the submarine E.l5
that the English vessel might not fall
into the hands Of the Turks, was re-
corded by the admiralty today, Con.
trary to the claims Of the Turks that
the ELS was sunk by their guns, the
admiralty declared it was demolished
by the two patrol boats when it was
seen the position Of the submarine was
hopeless.
The ELS ran ashore inside the straits
after making dive Under the fire
from the Turkish forts the submarine
was soon disabled but might have been
salyaged aud placed in seryicoable con.
dition The patrol bouts then put out,
and, though subjected to 200 shots from
the Turkish forts, ran within range of
the ELS and discharged torpedo which
demolished the stranded vessel One of
the patrol bouts was sunk but the crew
Of the other rescued the volunteers from
the boat which was struck One sea

feat.
