SOLDIERS WHEN IDLE
TAKE UP OLD WAYS

DUNKIRK, France, Mar. 3O.-Under the uniform of the soldier various trades and professions are hidden, all of which prove useful in one way or another fin camp or trenches. The woodcutter of last year still goes on with his wood-cutting, although now he chops wood for heating purposes at the front or for use in reinforcing the trenches Several infantrymen, when not in the trenches, spend their nights in the marshes fishing for ecls. A fair nights catch is fifty, which sell for about four cents each.
 Men who were mechanics before the war now employ their spare time manugacturing finder boxes and other articles out of old cartridges cases. One can obtain pen-knives. pencil cas- es, scissors, cigarette holders, and a variety of similar articles thus ham, mered out of cartridge cases.
 Agricultural workers spend their spare time helping the farmers with whom they are billeted Soldierbar- Defs dO a roaring trade and lind GUS toners among the civilians as well as the military Tailors and bootmakers also find many occasions to use their skill. Leather workers gather up odd pieces of leather from discarded har- ness or equipment and make 1t up in- to pocket-books or cases for various articles Soldiers with a fair educa- tion find plenty of work teaching French to the English soldiers or vice versa. Some of the English soldiers number among their pupils several civilians, all of whom are eager to master the intricacies of English, and a fair proportion of these civilian pu- pills are of the fair sex
 The military authorities thus far have had no occasion to notice these little side employments. which ara mot exactly allowed by military rules.

WAGE CASE BRIEFS SUBMITTED
 FOR ARBITRAT TION
Attorney for Western Lines Says 63,000 EmplOyeS Have Failed to Prove Claim of Greater Ef- fiCienCy or Worth,

CHICAGO. March &C., Briefs In the Western railroad wage case wete filed with the Board of Arbitration today by James M Sheean, attorney for the railroads. and by William $. Carter president of the Brotherhood of Loc- omotive Bremen and Enginemen. Oral argument was begun and was expected to last two, and possibly three days. Decision by the board on the demands of the men for higher wages and other concessions will be made on or before April 20 and wth effect 63.O0O engineers, dremen and hostlers employed by ninety-eight western railroads operating 10000 miles of track.
 Mr. Sheean's brief asserted that the men failed utterly to establish their contention that their labors and res possibilities, and their productive e1i- ciency have increased since their wages were adjusted by arbitration in 1910, nor, said the brief had they made good their claims that their earnings. despite higher rates had been decreased in this period Their contentious, Mr. Sheean said had not been proven by their own exhibits, and had been disproven by actual re- cords quoted in the railroad exhibits
 The increased productivity of the railroad was said in the brief to have been due, not to any increased effort of the men, but to stringent economies in operation, and the expenditure of S66O 000. GOO in extensions, additions and improvements to property, in- cludng heavier power and the reuuc- tion of curves and grades Oi this sum S220.OOO,OOO was spent for the purpose of increasing efficiency and safety, and to expedite train move ments. These improvement, Mr. Sheean said. have actually enabled the enginemen to earn their money in fewer hours than prior to 1910. Bremen. he said, actually shovel five per cent, less coal now than in the previous period He said that the railroad exhibit showing that to grant the sixteen demands of the men would cost $41 LOGO, 900 year had not been controverted He pointed out the decreased dividend payments of recent years. and to the increasing use of labor-saving devices on engines He referred to the high earnings at- tained by some engineers and ire men, and asserted that the bulk of the engineers avraged between Sl7O and $1SO a month, and fremen be- tween Sl1O and S115.
 The brief claimed that these pay roll figures demonstrated that the present schedules provide fun, far and adequate pay, whether measured ! by comparison with other trades. by l comparison with other railroad em. I ployees who have like duties and 1 responsibilities, or by comparison with engineers and fremen on the East or the Sout; and in making this claim directed attention to the fact ! that these payroll figures had not l been contradicted by the employees
 whose names appeared thereon, not ] withstanding the fact that during the
 hearing while the railroad exhibits
 were being introduced Mr. Garter
 stated to the Board of Arbitration
 "I have reached the conclusion that
 our case is lost if we treat the exhi
 bits of the railroads too seriously"

Says Francis Powell a brilliant stage director whose work has won high crit- teal comment from the leaders Of the American stage: "In the leading American universities. in Harvard and Yale, the greatest interest is taken in mtdern drama. Professor Baker at Harvard and Professor Phelps al Yale, have wisely led and encouraged this interest in their students ] believe that the action of Professor Baker and Professor Phelps will have lasting rec c-lts upon the future national Ameri- can drama. Already an outside p0pu- l2r supplementary interest has been created. Hut it Is not only in the uni- versailles tha. a serious intellectual i'm Quiry has been raised concerning tho modern drama. The action of Pro fessOrs Baker and Phelps has .uci- dent1lly aroused a keen interest in the modern drama in ali the schools and colleges of America. And this in its turn. hes started demand for the modern printed drama among the gem eral playgOCrs of America Now an interest in the printed drama, a com tinual study of the modern plays in actual vogue. is our chief security against ou kinds of imposture oh the stage.

DRUMRIGHT, Okla, April Go
Francisco Villa has been insane for
the past several months. according to
X. A, Afford, a big oil operator Of the
Mexican field, who was held as a hos

tion as utterly hopeless and says it
will never be remedied until this or
some other government intervcnes and
establishes "a stable form of govern
ment. He believes that General Obre-

that faction. Afford says the state Of
