the Jamborees that were pulled off
there in old mining days when booze
flowed galore from every corner.
But IL does seem strange that there
not enough law abiding citizens left

care of in some way or other, we
are sure that one or two of Charley

be a permanent cure for all such

DON'T BLAME EITHER PARTY

Editor Star: l read your article on
Carl Wenzel and his reply in the
Banner. Now, 1 do not blame either
of you. You were both right. Mr..
Wenzel has a pretty little home on a
pretty street; that is, the street is
naturally pretty, but it has never been
properly graded and the sidewalks
graded or built up. Mr.. Wenzel's
home is in the dip or bottom of the
street; the street rising in both direc-
tions. 1t is clay there, instead of
sand as most of our country is. Now,
after almost ten days of clear wealth
er, there is mud puddle in the street,
from one side to the other, that is al
an automobile could have gone thru
it week ago, and could not now
without begging to the hubs and be-
ing covered with mud. The same
would apply to a horse or horse
drawn vehicle. Mr.. Wenzel has mar
row sidewalk of clay, the only thor
oughfare across the mud. The young
ladies, on horseback, rode across the
dangerous place on the walk, probably
leaving no sign of their trespass be-
hind them. 1t was that or turn back.
/ turned back, for in addition to COW
ering the car with mud, had / at
tempted the crossing, did not think
the machine would go through. /
looked at Mr.. Wenzers sidewalk with
longing eye, as it was fiat and low,
but l saw trees that would have pre-
vented me from taking to the walk.
The city should send men there at
once and fill in the street and grade
it so that the proper drainage would
be established and this state of af-
fairs be prevented in the future.
Both Mr. Wenzel and the other prop
erty owners on the street are entitled
to this, and it should be done at once.
With little money, very little,
spent there, the street would be great
ly beautified, it's usefulness enhanced
and the naturally attractive street
would be used far more than it is.
Now no one passes over it unless
compelled to do so. "Fair Play"

obligations and neither the hospital
or the physicians have ever gotten
anything for their services. Some of
these cases were inevitably so, they
were unable to pay. This is the work
that the public has been called on
to pay for, the real charity work that
the institution has done and for which
there was no pay. If all patients
paid their bills, and there were plenty
of patients always, the hospital would
be more than self sustaining.
Possibly the Star is biased in its
views but it thinks the hospital one
of the greatest of our assets, at least
from humanitarian stand point, and
after watching its work and achieve
ments for all these years, with clos
/. er touch, possibly than most of US
have, we would like to see it aided
financially by both city and county out
of the public funds.

Robins Gift to ENGLAND.

In the Burlington Magazine an arti-
Gle on Robins gift to the British ma
ton of collection of his works is ac-
claimed from an angle of appreciation
The writer decides that although Ro-
din's fame was made in France 1t was
established in England and that in
reality Rodin Is a British institution
There is something to be said in more
senses than one for the contention.
Specifically, there is less sharpness
of contrast between the best British
sculpture and that of Rodin than ex-
lists between his work and all other
French sculpture of technical excel
lence. His blurred contours are seen
to better effect in the environment of
London than in the vivacious light of
the Luxembourg. But of course the
main point is that the generous old
sculptor achieved a maximum OF tact
in making himself the symbol of the
new mutual understanding between
the two great nations.

OF the more important German for
tresses Mainz is regarded as the most
strategic point in the west of Europe.
Situated on the eastern front of the
Rhine, which it dominates, it COM
mands also the natural way to the
Danube and the routes leading to the
Elbe Valley, to Cassel and to the Black
Forest. Next comes Koenigsberg, on
the Baltic, guarded on it's eastern side
by the Dieme canal.
Metz, the greatest stronghold in
Alsace-Lorraine, is protected by eleven
forts, and in peace time is a center Of
the German army. It's sister fortress,
Strassburg, designed by Moltke, was
considered by him to be impregnable.
1t Is protected by fifteen forts, con-
nected by citadel railways, and from it
armies can maneuver east or west of
the Rhine without Intervention.

Germany's Dead Letter Mall.

The German post office is to spare
the feelings, SO far as possible, Of the
families of soldiers who have fallen
in battle, when mail matter, nondeliv-
cradle for that reason, is returned to
the sender. Hitherto it was the Gus
tom to stamp on the letter or package
merely the word fallen" Qr dead"
and send 1t back home to shock the
relatives with this harsh brevity. Now
the military authorities have been d.
rected to use the words fallen for the
fatherland." or fallen Oh the field Of
honor"
In still another way the authorities
are trying to soften the blow of death
notices from the front. Hitherto this
was attempted only in country dis
tricts, where the returned mail of the
fallen soldiers was handed over to the
local authorities or the clergyman,
who then undertook to break the fatal
news gently to the family. Something
like this Is now to be done also in the
towns and cities. The local authori-
ties will now be asked to select some
person suitable for bearing the mes
sage OF death.

BROTHERS IN MISERY
coFNRADESHIP OF WOUNDED ON
THE BATTLEFIELD.
Letter Written to His Fiancee by
Dying French officer Reveals
Triumph of the Finer Feel.
ings of Humanity.

A letter, which is among the most
moving documents written since the
beginning of the war, has been re-
ceived by young American woman In
Paris. 1t was written by her fiance,
a French cavalry officer, as he lay
dying in Flanders, and with the letter
she received the news of his death.
After narrating how he was wound
ed in the chest during cavalry
charge and temporarily lost conscious
ness, the writer goes on:
There are two other men lying
near me and l do not think there is
much hope for them, either. One is
an officer of a Scottish regiment and
the other a private In the uhlans.
"They we're struck down after me
and when / came to myself l found
them bending over me, rendering first
aid The Britisher was pouring water
down my throat from his flask, while
the German was endeavoring to
stanch my wound with an antiseptic
preparation served out by their med
ical corps.
"The Highlander had one of his legs
shattered and the German had several
pieces Of shrapnel buried in his side.
In spite of their own sufferings they
were trying to help me, and when l
was fully conscious again the German
gave me morphia injection and took
one himself. His medical corps had
also provided him with the injection
and the needle, together with printed
instructions for its use.
After the injection, feeling wonder
fully at ease, we spoke of the lives we
had lived before the war. We all
spoke English. and we talked of the
women we had left at home. Both the
German and the Britisher had only
been married year.
81 wondered. and suppose the 9TH
ers did, Why we had fought each other
at all. | looked at the Highlander,
| who was falling to sleep exhausted,
and In spite Of his drawn face and
mud-stained uniform, he looked the
embodiment of freedom. Then l
| thought of the tricolor of France and
all that France had done for liberty.
"Then l watched the German, who
had ceased to speak. He had taken a
prayer book from his knapsack and
was trying to read a service for sol
diers wounded in battle"
The letter ends with reference to
the failing light and the roar of guns.
It was found at the dead officers side
by a Red Cross file and forwarded to
his fiancee.
