The Germans along the line did not
realize what had happened. The bold
sapper was not content with the dam
age he had wrought. so instead of
crawling back to safety. he leaped
into the trench with the machine gun
and the dead and dying Germans. The
compartments of the trench were con-
nected by passageways, making an
angle. The Germans in the compart-
ment next to that of the machine gun
were in an uproar, firing in the direc.
ton of the British lines and evidently
believing the allies were delivering a
general attack. The Englishman
hurled his second bomb among them.
Five or six Germans were torn to
shreds. Into the second compartment
the sapper crawled and cast this third
and last bomb into the next group
along the line. The effect was as
great as before
To clear out the three compart-
ments of the trench had been the
work of not more than three minutes.
After completing his task, the officer
wriggled back to his own lines I'M

Homemade Bombs.
crawls In Dark to German Trenches,
Destroys Machine Gun and Kills
Enemy's Soldiers With Hand
Grenades Made by Himself.
ev FRANKLIN P. MERRIcK.

International News Service Correspondent
Paris-With three bombs made by
himself, an officer of engineers OF the
British army has just performed an
exploit worthy of chronicling. He
crept up to the German trenches and
killed Is Germans, besides destroying
a machine gun.
This sapper was stationed at point
of the battle line where the British
and German trenches are near to each
other. He fitted up laboratory in
farm house in which he was quartered
and here he began to manufacture
hand grenades. These he decided to
test personally.
A few dozen yards before the first
British line was a German trench in
which was posted machine gun that
had killed many English.
The trench was cleverly built in
sections, so that the British could not
CAPTURE one point and then fire down
the trench. 1t was like row of old
fashioned church pews. each pew say
six yards long with about five Ger
mans in it. The machine gun was
posted in a pew so situated that 1t
could sweep the whole front for long
distance. Before 1t was a shield and
a parapet.
The British officer selected a time
when 1t was quite dark and crawled
carefully to within about a dozen
yards of the machine guns position.
He carried one of his homemade
bombs in each side pocket and another
in his hand. He hurled the first right
in next to the machine gun.
There was a terrific explosion and
the single man in the trench to re-
main alive screamed with pain. The
machine gun was hopelessly- wrecked.

IS NOW CALLED KAISERBERG
Germans Give New Name to Town Of
czenstochowa in Russian
Poland.

Petrograd-You will look in vain
for the city of Kaiserberg on the map
of Russian Poland. and little will you
suspect that this name stands with
the Germans for the ancient city of
Czenstochowa. but Kaiserberg it is at
present, and the inhabitants are
forced, under threat of severe penal.
ties, to speak Of it as such.
This is another proof of the Ger.
mans tactful policy toward the Poles
whom the invaders are supposed to
win over to their side. for Czenstocho-
wa to the Poles is what Mecca is to
the Mussulmans, and no greater in.
suit to the national pride and faith
could be imagined than the remaining
of the ancient fortress.
"Kaiserberg now, Kaisergrab
(kaiser's gravel in a few weeks
hence" is the prophecy of the refu.
gees from the invaded part Of Rus.

Where Organized
Charity Failed i.

If civil service examiners generally
showed no more fairness or intelli-
gence than was shown in recent ex-
animation in Cleveland then the spoils
system, with all its absurdities, un-
fairness and unbusinesslike nature,
would be no worse.
In Cleveland, j. B. Vining has held
for many years the position of Com
missioner of Charities and has proven
to be thoroughly competent. He has
been, in fact, the best Commissioner
of Charities the city has ever had.
Nevertheless, through some regula-
ton or other he was recently COM
PEELED to go through the form of an
examination for reappointement. Just
how competent his examiners were
for the duties assigned them may be
judged from what happened.
He was asked:
ssWhat is the fundamental cause of
poverty as indicated by your personal
experience" He answered. correctly
that is was the condition in society
where there were more men than jobs;
that unemployment and the lack Of
opportunity for self-employment was
the fundamental cause Of involuntary
poverty.
For answering as he should have
answered. he was given a grade OF
less than so per cent.
Another question asked was the fol.
lowing, evidently relating to some
thing that had actually occurred in the
Department:
"a woman Of so years living alone
Fin a rooming house in a bad district
Her only living relation is a daughter
in another city who earns her own liV.
ing but cannot contribute to mothers
care. For temperamental reasons the
two cannot live comfortably together
The woman has an earning capacity Of
so per week. She pays $3.50 pei
week for miserable room, equipped
| for light housekeeping. What course
should the outdoor relief department
follow in response to her appeal fol
coal and groceries during the winter?'
Mr.. Vining gave the following
4 straightforward answer:
Contrary to the rules Of the out
door relief department that no singl.
person should be helped in theil
homes, put this old lady In . bet
ter room and furnished tbs coal nj
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1915-07-01

groceries. In my ten years in the
Charities and Correction Department
I have broken this rule hundred
times and / as long as stay there ]
will continue to break it. Mo old lady
who is able to work and maintain her
self for the greater portion OF the
year will ever be sent to the poor
house by me against her wishes. l
trust l have too much respect for hui
manity and my own mother to view a
question of this kind without taking a
personal point of view. When my at
titude becomes SO stereoyped and
hardened and I cannot see the misfor-
tunes of a poor old lady in any other
light than by rule of thumb process, |
shall resign from the department" =
For this answer he was given a
grade of 4 243 points out of possible
I2h.
One of the examines is reported to
have explained that Mr.. Winnings an
swers were submitted to officials Of
the organized charities and were
marked in accordance with their
views. That certainly explains much.
A commissioner Of charities who
points out the cause of poverty and
calls attention to how it can be elim1-
mated, is not exactly popular with
most charitable institutions.
What Cleveland loses through this
kind Of Civil Service Reform is made
clear in the following statement by
Edmund Vance Cook, the poet:
'fMr. Vining does not need his pres
emit job. His present job needs him.
Any system of examination which
loses his true, tried. practical and eff
cient service to Cleveland because he
refusesato follow the enswer of alleged
authorities who know infinitely less Of
the questions than he does, needs ex-
animation itself. Why not examine
the examinations. Also the examin
ers?"

On the next day sent the facts Of
its failure with the same news item
ito The Telegraph, so-called Republi-
can newspaper, and it treated it with
the same silence. Neither of these
papers can show like expression in
behalf of Wilson's policy in any part
of america, yet they comparatively
unite in fabrications and falsehoods
that have no other purpose than to
mislead endssif Capitalism demands it

unexplained how the graduates of
'rum-holes, prisons, opium Joints, and
gang-infested corners" will pass their
time after these have been abolished.
1t is easy to say that they will be en-
gagged in honest work, but hard to
prove. Thousands of men are today
unemployed and looking in vain for
work who do not frequent such places.
Opportunities for work would not be
increased by their abolition. That
would only increase competition for
whatever jobs there are.
1t is true that society trains crimi-
mails. 1t trains them by so limiting op-
portunitfes to earn an honest living
that many the Involuntary unemploy-
ed. Even without the evils mentioned
in the advertisement, many of those
unemployed would be compelled to re-
sort to crime. The process may be
fastened or intensified by the rum
holes" and other places, as it may also
be fastened by increasing the supply
of the latest Improvement in revolvers,
but that is as much as can fairly be
charger against them. The limiting of
opportunities to live without crime, is
the cause of crime which must be re-
moved. -
Limitation of opportunities is the re
suit of laws that encourage monopo-
lization and Withholding from use of
natural resources. In a country big
enough and rich enough to give the en-
tire population of the world opportuni-
ties to produce all that is needed to
supply wants, there is no excuse for
an involuntarily unemployed class.
That such a class nevertheless ex-
lists is because of the laws mention
ed. The remedy is to make unprof1t-
able the Withholding from use of ma
tural opportunities. This can be done
by taking for. public use the rental
value of land irrespective of improve
ments and abolishing taxes of every
kind on labor and its products.
