Chivalry Not Lacking In Modern Warfare, Say
 Germans of English

$
 Frankfort, Germany, March 29- Chiva1rW still persists in modern war fare. as is proved by the experience of a non-conrnissioned officer in a Baden regiment, who was wounded in the recent fighting at La Bassee be tween the Germans and the British In one of the repeated charges by which the celebrated brickyares changed hands so often the non commissioned officer led his squad to within 15 yards of the British trenches, where he fell wounded by six bullets. His comrades, who were forced to fall back to their own trenches 50 yards away. tried to car ry off the body of their supposed dead leader but were unable to do so ow- ing to the heavy fire. Twenty-four hours later the British discovered that the wounded officer was still alive and called to him to come to their trench promising him good treatment He was unwilling to do so and instead raised himself on his elbow and call ed to his friends:
 Come get me. I don't want to1be a prisoner of the English
 The Germans shouted to the Brit. ish a. request for permission to brirs in the wounded man; the British promised not to shoot and two Ger. man soldiers ventured boldly out o1 their trenches, crossed the interven ing space and carried the wounded man back, not a shot being fired ana aooth British and Germans Joining if cheers The story is printed witt approving comment in the Gerrnsa1 papers.

ITALIANS MAY HAVE.
 QUAKE COMMISSION
May Have Board That Will Study Earth Tremblings
 To Be Prepared.

Rome, Mar. 29-Although over two months have passed since the earth quake wrecked large portion of the Abruzzi district, comparatively little has been done to start life afresh in the ruined region. The great desire of most of the few survivors, however, is to return once more to their native mountains. and put together some humble shelter for themselves.
 At CappeIIe. Avezzano and other towns which suffered most severely nothing strikes the behoIder so forcib- 1y as the thoroughness of the destruc- ton. The towns are immense, form less dustheaps. It is easy to under stand how the work of rescue in the early daysw as rendered almost frn- possible by the entire lack of ladders, tools or any instruments which could aid in disinterring the victims.
 Thesvenerable patriot and historian, Senator PasquaIe Vi11ari, whose fas- cinating books on SavonaroIa and on MachiaveIli have been translanted in to many languages, has come forward to suggest that a body of workers, re-. work in war. should be thoroughly and scientifically prepared before hand in order that when these recur- rent earthquake tragedies overWhe1rnG one part or another of Italy, they could be sent instantly armed with

Is Father Alfani, the director of the Observatory at Florence, in a lecture lately delivered in Rome pointed out that recently in Japan. earthquakes more violent than those of Messina or Avezzano had occurred and that thanks to such studies and precaut- ions the loss of life had been infinites- ima1 oFs non-sxtstent- Senator Villar1 remarks that the cost of training and equipping such a body of men, though it would be considerable would be as nothing in comparison to tho ex- penditure to which the nation is put in repairing, as well as may be, the loss of life and property caused y these recurrent misfortunes.

Campaign Waged by W. c. II. L. and

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Sept. 81
Fort Wayne hotel cafes. grill and din

The Anthony and Baltes did so yester-
day morning, having a premonition Of
campaign being waged by the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance union and
the ministerial association.
When the first night patrol squad
assembled at police headquarters last
evening. Capt. Richard r. Kelley read
an order from Chief Charles LEM to
the effect that each patrolman was to
inform every hotel on his beat that no
more liquor is 10 be served in the
cafes, grill and dining rooms. The
patrolmen carried out their orders and
before 9 o'clock those hOstelries which

ter guessers"
The furry or Friday evening in the
lodge and club halls had died away
last night, and officials Of every lodge
which has operated a bar and has not
yet dispensed with it. said they are
ready to do so since they have found
they are without the pale of the law.
Not one was found who will fight the
charges threatened by the temperance
workers, or the OTQerS OF the ponce.
The orders issued Saturday night TO
the patrolmen were the outcome of a
meeting of the board Of public safety
and Chief LEM Friday night. This
lasted until nearly midnight, it is al
legged, and the officials discussed the
prospective orders both pro and con
in order to reach a decision which
they felt the public is demanding.
Several of the lodges are seeking for
a few days time in which to dispose
of the present stock of liquor on hand
and from all indications the attorneys
for the w. G. T. L. and Ministerial
association will not find it necessary
to take legal procedure against any
organization.
Chief LEM stated Saturday night
that the only way liquor can be con-
sumed in a cafe, grill or dining room
IS for the purchaser to go to the bar
and buy ii himself and then take il
back to the table. In this case he is
acting within the law.
