TROUBLED BY VIVID DREAMS
Soldiers on Service In the Trenches
Are Greatly Affected by Their
Terrible Experiences.

Naturally enough the normal dream
life of the soldier is profoundly az.
fected by his novel and oftentimes
terrible experiences at the front. A
British army surgeon In charge of one
OF the field hospitals has taken the
trouble to make inquiries OF his
patients regarding their dreams. Some
Of them had developed somnambulism,
and were often found wandering about
in their sleep with great terror and
anxiety depicted on their faces. The
explanation usually lay In a dream
that they had lost their regiments. In
fact, this dread Of losing contact with
their fellows seemed to be the COM
monest cause Of nightmare.
They dreamed they we're wandering
through endless trenches as compli.
Gated as an artificial maze, or were
lost alone in dismal forests. The
slightest noise during sleep called up
visions of exploding shells or the
tramp Of armed men, often causing
them to cry out In fright. In the face
of real danger these dreamers OF ter.
ror were quite as brave as their fel.
lows. Another common night.terror
was the dream of a sudden call to
arms to which they were unable to re-
spond because of inability to find some
indispensable article of attire or equip
ment.

BIDDING FOR WAR
CONTRACTS

The scramble for war business is
a lively one, and is a demonstration
OF the enterprise and adaptability OF
American business men. Many %
the fortunes o. the twentieth centurv
viii be based on the profits accumu.
lated on contracts OF this type.
On the face Of 1t, this business
looks like a good deal of SNAP"
as the phrase goes But seen from
the inside OF the counting room, the
enterprise frequently appears, one
big gamble, that may make or break
the man who undertakes it.
A manufacturer of shoes was tell.
ing the other day of the chances he
had to take II he captured one of the
contracts for which he was bidding
with the agents of European pow
err. He would have to run his fac,
tory on about four times its present
production, in order to supply the
number of shoes that the agreement
would call for. He would have tied
up in unfinished goods all the time
an amount of money equal to about
five times his capital.
These goods would be of an unusu.
al type, suitable for use in trenches,
with, the flesh side out, left natural
color, instead of the grain or hair
side out, as Is usually the case. II
the war should end before the con.
tract was completed the goods would
be unstable and the manufacturer
would depend on the good faith OF
the agents to cover himself on the
partly completed shipments.

he had been very slow not to get
one of those contracts and keep his
factory booming. But he did not
dare risk his business solyency un.
less the buying agents would put up
in some bank in the United States,
subject to draft on delivery of goods
an amount sufficient to insure him
against loss.
American business men have the
sporting spirit, and they are taking
these chances, which may or may
not be satisfactorily protected against
cancellations in case of the early
close OF the war. Where the deal Is
properly guarded, they mean wealth
for the manufacturer and good wages
and abundant work for the mechanic

Argue About
Shop Strike
illinois Central Head 10 GrIIIey by
Commission on Industrial
Relations

Chicago, April IA colloquy about
the honesty Of man who, starting
at the bottom, advances to the head
of a great railroad as compared with
one who becomes the head of a great
labor organization, enlivened today's
session Of the United States commits
sion on industrial relations.
The argument was between Chas
II. Markham, president Of the ILL
nois Central railroad, who was on
the witness stand practically all day
and Austin b. Garretso, president Of
the Order of Railway Conductors and
a member Of the commission.
The great strike Of shopmen Of
1911 on the Illinois Central and 9TH
er so called Hartman lines, Mr..
Markham stated, really grew out of
the attempt Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor to organize the crafts
Of each railroad system and 1t was
opposed regardless Of cost.
Terms Crafts Plan Menace
"The proposed organization was a
serious menace as, II carried to a log
ical conclusion 1t would have left the
railroads and industries along their
lines helpless in the hands Of few
men," said Mr.. Markham.
But the railroads are in the hands
Of few men as 1t is" suggested Mr.
Garretson.
But they are checked by their re
sponsibilities to the stockholders, to
laws and to the public replied the
witness.
Are you, Mr.. Markham any more
honest now than when you were
shoveling coal at Tucson?" asked
Mr.. Garretson.

THE WISE MEN OF GOTHAM

THE WISE MEN OF GOTHAM
In bowl to sea went wise men three
On brilliant night OF June;
They carried a net, and their hearts
were set
On fishing up the moon.
The sea was calm, the air was balm,
Not breath stirred low or high,
And the moon, trow, las as bright
below.
And as round as in the sky
Far, far at sea, were the wise men
three,
When their fishing net they threw;
And at the throw, the moon below
In a thousand fragments flew.
The sea was bright with a dancing
light
or million million CLEANS,
Which the broken moon shot forth
as soon
AS the net disturbed her beams.
They drew In their net; 1t was empty
and wet
And they had lost their pain.
Soon ceased the play of each dancing
ray,
And the image was round again.
Three times they threw, three times
they drew,
And all the while were mute;
And evermore their wonder grew,
Till they could not but dispute.
Their silence they broke. and each
one spoke
Full long, and loud, and clear;
A man at sea their voices three
Full three leagues OFF might hear.
The three wise men got home again
TO their children and their wives;
But, touching their trip, and their
nets vain dip,
They disputed all thcir lives.
The wise men three could never
agree
Why they missed the promised
boon;

that the relations are nor cordial
.no last and the West have their
sharp confli,ts, almost as much as
South and North.
A nation that spreads over so vast
an expanse as the United States has
many divergent interests to recon
cile. 1t can never be as harmonious
as a small and compact country IL
gains all the power and freedom OF
bigness, but It pays for 1t with the
diversities OF ideas and points oil
view. These diversities are often
sharp, yet they need never be serious
or threatening.
II it was only possible for the
great mass Of the people to travel
freely all over the country, friction
between sections would be reduced
20 a small minimum. Most OF the
differences referred to result from a
lack of personal understanding of the
people and problems OF other sec
tons.
The heroism of the two armies that
finally Joined hands at Appomattox is
the Joint heritage of all the people.
Their endurance and their daring are
an expression of the idealism and de-
termination of American character.
Any man who had an ancestor on
that field has right to rejoice in
the glory Of his blood, regardless
which side he fought on.

OUR SAFETY VALVES.

Americans are living at fast pace,
most Of the time keyed up to high
tension. They give enormously Of
their nerve power for their business
affairs. Some go to the breaking
point prematurely and pay the inev.
liable toll. But constantly we are
learning the lesson and devoting more
attention to wholesome diversion, such
as baseball. football Chose who do not
play them get the benefit as specta-
tors and devotees), golf, tennis, auto,
ing and others. These we may call the
safety valves for the escape OF our
excess steam. When the pressure of
pent-up anxiety and care reaches the
point of exhaustion there Is the safety
valve for the escape, and every man
owes 1t to himself, his family, and his
business to make the most of 1t. Some
of our decorous friends from other
lands have been abashed at the vol
ume Of what strikes them as rowdy-
ism displayed at baseball, for exam.
pie, but that If Americans had no
such popular outlet for their native
strenuosity, what would become of
them? 1t Is not rowdyism, but rather
sportsmanship. the same sort that
sends a fellow into the air at horse
race, or an auto race, or any other
exciting contest or competition. They
are safety valves that enable one to
turn his mind entirely away from the
vexing cares Of business.
