AUSTRALIA TO FRONT
 WITH 5000 NEW MEN
 EVERY MONTH OF WAR
Minister of Defense Says That the Number Is the lrTeduCibIe Minimum; Need for Men Is Increasing.

MELBOURNE Australia, Nov. 27.- Wet want over 5000 a month-that is the irreducible minimum" sair senator George F. Pearce. Minister of Defense, a few days ago in refenrence to recruiting in Australia
 The Army Council has asked us to increase our percentage of reinforce. ments for the expeditioDary force. We have been sending them forward in a proportion of from 10 to l5 per cent-a total of about $500 per month. It has now been asked that We shall increase this to 20 per cent which will mean over 5000 a month. This intimation should stimulate recruiting throughout the Commonwealth as IL shows that the need for men in in- creasinE rather than decreasing. feel sure that the manhood of the Commonwealth will be capable of keeping up the requisite supply for the front" Thus far about 15O,OOO men have enlisted in Australia.
 Gilgandra, a town of 2,5OO inhabit. ants in the wheat region of New South Wales, has since blossomed into war fame by reason of the fact that a squad of thirty volunteers from that place have started on 32O-mile march to sydney to go into training there. The residents of the town contributed a thousand dollars toward the initial cost of the march, and all along the route donations of cash and articles of general use are being made by interested men and women, and at almost every stopping place fresh men are joining as volunteers. The move ment was originated by the captain of the Gilgandra Rifle Club, William T. Kitchen, a store keeper, and has the approval of the defense depart. ment
 The march is attended by many pic turesque features. Most of the men have lived all their lives on the west. em plains of the state, among the wheat fields. and a number of them, including a former Methodist minister named Lee, have, like Cincinnatus in ] the old days in Rome, left their ripen. l ing crops to be reaped by neighbors while they go-to war Les is a good i speaker as he is doing most of the ! speech-making for the recruits at the rallies in the country towns. The men have been dubbed "the snowball army" and each man is called flake ! A group of forty-fve South Sea Is land volunteers, also recently arrived 1 in Wellington, New Zealand, from the Crook group, sonorously singing popu l lar war songs in England in theiI
 native tongue
 When the natives left the Crook l Islands. their friends and relatives
 bade them farewell in native fashion by Kissing their feet When Yelling ton was reached the recruits marched
 to Parliament house singing "Tipper
 ary" and Are We Downhearted? in the language of the Cook Archipelago The Maori members of Parliament ad
 dressed them with patriotic speeches fafter which there was a haka or Maor
 war dance by the Maori legislators.

THE WEEPING TREE
BY MARY GERTRUDE SHERIDAN

Whats that gnarled crooked spike

Of Bruce Martin, as they got off the
suburban train at Groveville.
That" explained Mr.. Bruce Martin
with pose of self-importance, sis an
apple-grafted weeping tree"
"Gift?" pefsevered the neighbor.

fad of arboriculture, and / ran across
this rare variety"
The first speaker took a quizzieal

sapling 1t certainly did not prepos
sess favor, rather suggesting the
typical bean pole.
Weeping tree, ah?" he chuckied.
Say | think the old man will weep
when he sees it,"
Martin passed by the intimation
with light laugh, but the dart struck
home. Now Bruce Martin was very
important personage-to his own way
of thinking. His self-assertive dignity
was easily ruffled. He had two faults
"a ready resentment for anyone dis
putting his opinion and a mad reckless
way of flying off the handle at the least
impulse.
Life had been easy to him. He had
some money and he had Cherry Dortle,
Even She had come into his loving

any crosses along the path of court.

and really did not value his rare bless

With a good deal of pride he walked
over to the house Of his sweetheart
after supper, carrying his prize with
him. He was anxious to please
Mr.. Dortle because he was the father

What Stumped Him.

Many instances have been quoted Of

the college man In answering exam

but seldom has hard-pressed under
graduate displayed the inventive gen.
ius shown by Henry w. Savage when
his knowledge Of French was put to
the test in Partisan cafe some years
ago. According to George AIDE, who
was with him at the time, Savage
prides himself on his French. He had
Just succeeded by dint OF the most in
tense sort of concentration In ordering
those copper-coiored oysters known to
the habitues Of Paris as being among
the Oldest inhabi ants. Then, flushed
with victory, he rashly decided to fol-
low up his success by ordering some
horse-radish. The French word for
"horse-radish" had completely escaped
his memory. Nothing daunted, he be-
came at once logical and ingenious.
Horse Is cheval,' said he to AIDE,
and red Is rouge all right, but I'm
damned II can remember the French
word for 'tsh.'"

Roused Judge From Slumber.

An excellent story is told of Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge. For the ben
eft of transporting readers, 1t should
be explained that dog when exhibit
ed is said to be ION the bench" or
"benched." At the trial of an action
for damages for running over a sheep
dog, winner of many prizes, counsel
for the defendant was anxious to
prove that the dog had had its day,
and that the damages should be NOM
inal
Unfortunately, Lord Coleridge, who
was trying the case, had dropped on
to sleep, and the evidence was being
wasted. Counsel's one chance was to
cause such laugh in court as would
wake the Judge; so, gradually raising
his voice, he asked one Of the plain
tiffs Witnesses: rs it not your expe-
rience as an exhibitor that when an
old dog has taken his place regularly
on the bench for many years, he gets
sleepy and past his work."
Amid the roars of laughter which
ensued Lord Coleridge woke up with
a start, and judgment was eventually
given for the defendant.

WOULDN'T sT0OP TO BRIBERY
French Officer Tells Of Honesty Of
Greek Statesman When His Career
Was Beginning.

A French officer, now retired, who
many years ago commanded detach-
ment of infantry in the island of Crete,
says a Partisan journal, now shows
with much pride the photograph of
Greek statesman whom he knew in
that earlier time as the mayor of
small Cretan village. The island was
then lacking in roads and the COM
mandant of the detachment was
charged with the construction Of those
which were the most necessary.
Immediately the mayors of the
neighboring villages came to see the
commandant to persuade him to have
the roads traverse their localities. Ac-
customed to the morals Of their Turk
ish masters, they rendered this officer
sums varying from 1000 to 5000
francs. The officer refused these Of
fers. Alone of all his colleagues M.
Venizelos, then mayor Of little vii
lage, made no offer to him and this
brought to him the friendship Of the
commandant. One day this officer said
to M. Venizelos: You are a suffi-
GENTLY intelligent man not only to be
honest, but to believe in the honesty
of others. You will surely succeed"

Community Christmas.

The celebration Of the community
Christmas in this country originated
in a dinner table conversation of a
group Of artists in New York some
years ago. One of the group, young
man who had just returned from study
in Germany, was enthusiastic over the
community festivals there, and the
transplanting OF the celebration to
the United Statec had its birth at that
time. The first community Christmas
tree in this country was the Madison
square Tree of Light" in 1912; vari
Gus factors in the life Of New York
as a community contributed to the ar
rangement and financing of the tree.
Since then the custom has spread to
hundreds Of cities, towns and villages
which have adapted the idea to their
particular needs and circumstances
and plan to make 1t a permanent es-
adjustment. The custom has existed
in Germany for many years-is, in
fact, an old German tradition and
fast"
