SYNOPSIS.

At their home on the frontier between
the Browns and Grays Marta Galland and
her mother, entertaining Colonel Wester-
ling Of the Grays, see Captain Lanstron
Of the Browns injured by a fall in his
aeroplane Ten years later. Westerling,
nominal Vice but real chief of staff, re-en-
forces South La Tir and meditates on war.
Marta tells him Of her teaching children
the follies OF war and martial patriotism,
and begs him to prevent war while he Is
chief of STAFF. Lanstron calls on Marta
at her home She tells Lanstron that she
believes Feller, the gardener, to be a spy
Lanstron confesses 1t is true and shows
her a telephone which Feller has con-
cealed in secret passage under the tower
for use to benefit the Browns in war
emergencies. Lanstron declares his love
for Marta. Westerling and the Gray pre-
mier plan to use a trivial international
afair to foment warlike patriotism and
strike before declaring war. Partow,
Brown chief Of staff, reveals his plans to
Lanstron, made vice chief. The Gray
army crosses the border line and attacks.
The Browns check them. Artillery, In
fantry. aeroplanes and dirigibles engage.
Marta has her first glimpse Of war in its
modern, cold. scientific, murderous bru-
tality. The Browns fall back to the Gal
land house. Marta sees a night attack.
The Grays attack in force. Feller leaves
his secret telephone and goes back to his
guns Hand to hand fighting. The Browns
fall back again. Marta asks Lanstron over
the phone to appeal to Partow to stop the

NOTHING NEW IN JOKE LINE
Foolish Is the Humorlst Who Would
insist That This "Has Never
Been Sprung Before"

A reader Of the Docket in New York
city cut out the item relating to the
dissolution Of partnership, in which
one partner makes the statement that
those who owe the firm will settle
with him, and those that the firm owes
will settle with Mose," and sends It
back to us with this notation: "This
was an old chestnut when l lived in
-, which was in 1856"
To this charge we enter q plea Of
confession and avoidance. We con-
tend that the courts will take judicial
notice Of the fact that there is nothing
new under the sun, and in our judg-
ment the 1okesmith is well within
his rights In resurrecting a joke
which was old in 1866.
The incident brings to mind the fol-
lowing story: "The editor of Mime
sofa newspaper back in the 's0s con-
cocted the following: 'Yon Yonson put
four sticks of dynamite in the stove
last Sunday to thaw them out The
handles were nickel plated and only
cost $10.'" A professor Of English
literature in an eastern university
wrote a very interesting article on
this Joke, claiming that 1t represented
distinctly American brand Of humor,
and that 1t could not have happened
in any other country or at any other
time.
But alas for the professor Of Eng.
lish hterature-for there is nothing
new under the sun. Reference to II
Chronicles, Chapter 1e, Verses 12 and
lS, produces the following:
II. And Asa in the thirty and
ninth year Of his reign was diseased
in his feet, until his disease was ex.
ceedingly great; yet in his disease
he sought not to the Lord, but to the
physicians.
13. And Asa slept with his fathers
