O. their lO,OOO-mile voyage back to the
fatherland aboard the Italian liner
Taormina
They arrived early in the day from
san Francisco and were received by
the Hamburg American officials, who
TOOK them on a specially chartered tug
10 the German steamship President
Lincoln. where they were received with
military honors by the crew and dined
by the officers.
1t was a cheerful party which stepped
from the train. Their features bore
not a trace of the sorrow, worry and
grief which one would expect the loss
of all earthly possessions and the IN
definite separation from fathers. nus
bands and sweethearts would cause.
Brave Young Refugees.
There were perhaps thirty children
in the party, ranging IN ages from one
10 twelve years. And better behaved
lot of Youngsters never arrived at the
Pennsylvania depot. Each little one
able 10 walk helped mother or sister TO
carry parts of the possessions which
they had been able 10 save from their
devastated homes.
The rumor spread that German fugi-
tives" had arrived from China. and i'm
mediately the station became crowded
with curious men and women, who eX-
pected to find lot of detected, huddled
m ragged mortals. The fine specimens
OF woman and childhood that paraded

cheeks. set the onlookers wondering at
the bravery Of these refugees on their
tedious voyage back 10 their war
troubled fatherland
IF these are really refugees they are
the bravest lot ! ever hope 10 see" the
station master of the railroad said. And
some in the crowd, voicing his senti-
ments, cheered the women and their
little ones.
One physician and two Red Cross
nurses were in charge of the party
which started from Shanghai on Christ
mas Day.
Look at these women" said Dr.. Paul
Meyer. who for years has been the
physician of the Shantung Railroad
which was owned and operated by Ger
mans. and who was the only male mem
Der of the party. "They have left
everything that was dear TO them in
life their husbands. their brothers
their homes to go 10 their troubled
fatherland into future which looks
none too clear. If women can hide
their grief and sorrows as these Ger
man women do. what shall we eXpec;
Of the men who are inspired by the
heroism Of such women :"
Praise for Japanese.
Everybody in the party even the
Ittlest member was willing TO talk OF
their experiences. But, curiously

The Japs did not bother about kiao-

Hard Fight at Fortress.
Miss Vera Won Gelder, one Of the Ger
man Red Cross nurses, told an interest
ing story of the fight before Tsing--tau.
There is only small regular hos
pital in the town, which was inadequate
for this emergency. The European
hotel Prinz Heinrich was converted into
q Red Cross hospital and our own men
and wounded Japs were brought there
and treated. The bombardment was
terrible. One German soldier was sta
toned at every yard TO defend the Wig
orous onslaughts OF the japanese, which
advanced on an area OF about 4,OOU
yards.
"SOOn after the bomDardment starred
the waterworks was shattered by shells
and the suffering among the wounded
on this score was terrible
"The German defenders lost during
the entire siege only l8l dead and 452
wounded. while the Japanese lost IN

least $4,000 Japanese stood before
Tsing-tau. exclusive of the Russians,
several regiments OF British Indian
troops and a detachment of French
marines Against these odds our little
army Of 1000 men held out until the
ammunition gave out. When the Japs
took possession of the forts they did
not find enough ammunition there to
fire a salute across the graves of the
dead"
Mrs. Elizabeth ScheiTel. the other
Red Cross nurse, told how the wound
ed were carried into the cellars during
the bombardment. and treated there
in the dark.
"Our provisions gave out and the
first thing the Japs' officers did after
taking possession was TO order guam

BANK CLERKS.-A short time ago
en- editorial appeared in The Day
Book regarding the condition (fnan-
cialIy) of the bank clerks in compari-
son to other forms of labor which
have become unionized.
You mention our preference for the
opportunity to wear clothes of a diff
ferent character than those neces-
sary for a heavier form of manual la
Dor and mention that we pay dearly
for the privilege.
No one except the man employed
at that class of labor knows the ire
mendous amount of nervous energy
expended daily by the bank clerk in
performing his duties, and the dread
full mOnOtOny of his work makes the
bank clerks life anything but a bed
of roses. Take this, coupled with the
fact that he is as poorly paid as any
man can be and maintain the appear
ance necessary, and you have a man

'WHAT ARE DEW DRoPS?"-
Will you tell me please about the
dew? I cross a park early every morn
ing and I've been wondering about
the dewdrops? Are they the same
as rain?-B. Mccullough.
Those little beads that glisten on
the grass in the morning puzzled wise
men for many hundreds of years be-
fore they found out just what they
meant. The lesson they learned was
an important one, for it taught them
that there is a great deal Of moisture
in the air which cOOls the suns rays
and keeps them from burning us. At
night when the earth passes out of
the sunlight it lets out the heat stored
during the day and the moisture in
the air causes it to escape slowly.
This moisture drinks in the heat rays
let off by the earth and it becomes
warmer than the earth or the grass
or flowers from which the heat is
drawn.
The grass and flowers become cold
after them let off their heat and the
moisture near them Chills, it turns to
real water and drops to the ground
like rain; the grass and flowers catch
these particles, and the water try
ing to keep itself together as much as
it can gathers into tiny beads. These
are dewdrOps.

gloves and a championship belt,
which, when fastened around him,
doubled his strength.
Once upon a time Thor lost his
celebrated hammer and a giant
named Thrym found and hid it.

told him he wanted his hammer back.
