No "smoke of Battle Now.

One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish 1t
from the wars of the past is the abb
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow-
ing to the use of smokeless powder,
no smoke is made when a rife is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than thin
mist that is invisible hundred yards
away and disappears within a few sec
onds after gun is fired. Only
when shrapne1 or shell explodes In
the enemy's line is there anything Wis
ible in the way of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the points where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, 1.-The smoke of battle" so
faithfully descriptive of the wars OF
the past, has little meaning when APP

chanicS Magazine.

VAGUE AS TO CAUSES OF WAR
Anecdotes Would Seem to Reveal
Confusion Of the Average
Irish Mind.

In many districts of Ireland there
are practically no books and almost
nobody reads newspapers. For months
there were people in Ireland who
thought England was fighting on the
same side as Germany.
Here Is an illustration Of popular
ignorance of which / have personal
knowledge.
A group of villagers were in black
smith shop, discussing the news. Fl
nally one asked: And how did this
bloody war begin?"
The blacksmith was the scholar OF
the gathering. "You see." said he, 1T
was like this. The king OF the Servi-
tudes took woman of the Morgans
to wife, and SO the Servitudes killed
them both and that is the way the
thing began
Which, after all. is much after the
manner OF Herodotus.
Still combining myself to incidents
that / know to be true / will add
another anecdote to illustrate the way
the Irish mind takes hold OF an inter
national situation. A man was defend
ing himself for having fought with
the British troops against the Beers.
He explained that he started to join
the Beers. but that he could not get
through the lines, so he joined the
British.
"You should not have done that"
said one.

have given me soul for fight

out. Til make you another PROPOSE
ton. I'll build the line from Pines to
Nugget City myself. If you'll give US
track connection at Copperville and at
Pines, and will give us traffic con-
tract for our rolling stock on a rea-
sonable basis"
Again Wilcox looked at the map.
The Silverknob and Nugget City road
began nowhere and ran nowhere, SO
far as the larger transportation world
was concerned. and it could never fig
ure as a competitor. The hundred
miles through the precious natural
pass known as the Yando chasm was
not so busy stretch of road as 1t
was important. and the revenue from
the passage of the Silverknob and
Nugget City's trains would deduct
considerably from the expense OF
maintaining that much-prized key to
the golden West.
"I'll take 1t up with Priestly and
German" promised Wilcox.
How soon can you let me know?"
Monday"
That afternoon saw Allison headed
back for New York, and the next
morning he popped into the Offices of
the Pacific Slope and Puget Sound.
where he secured rental privilege to
run the trains OF the Orange Valley
road into San Francisco, and down to
Los Angeles. over the tracks of the
P. S. and P. S. The Orange Valley
was a little, blind pocket Of road,
which made a juncture with the P. S.
and P. s. just a short haul above San
Francisco, and it ran up into a rich
fruit country, but it's terminus was far,
far away from any possible connection
with a northwestern competitor. and
that bargain was easy.
That night Allison, glowing with an
exultation which erased his fatigue,
dressed to call on Gail Sargent.

SYNOPSIS.

Al vestry meeting OF the Market
Square church Gail Sargent listens to a
discussion about the sale of the church
tenements to Edward E. Allison, local
traction king, and when asked her opin-
ion Of the church by Rev. Smith Boyd,
says it is apparently a lucrative business
enterprise. Allison takes Gail riding In
his motor car When he suggests he is
entitled to rest on the laurels of his
achievements, she asks the disturbing
question: "Why?" GAIL returning to her
Uncle Jim's home from her drive with Al
lison, finds cold disapproval in the eyes
OF Rev. Smith Boyd, who is calling there.
At bobsled party Gail finds the world
uncomfortably full of men, and Allison
tells Jim Sargent that his new ambition
is TO conquer the world. Allison starts
campaign for consolidation and control of
the entire transportation system of the
world.
