PROPOSES A NEW CALENDAR.
Twenty eight Days In Month, With
All HOLIDAYS on Monday.

The Rev. II. P. Hames, curate at All
Angels Episcopal church. New YORK
city, has a proposal to change the cal
endar which he says several int1uen-
tial clergymen favor. Novel features or
this Hames calendar provide that all
the holidays shall come on Monday.
This, he says, will give the tired man
two whole days and a half of rest.
Again, there will be only twentyeight
days in each month, and the remaining
days will be put into another month,
between June and July. The extra day
still unprovided for-two in leap year
will be put at the end Of December
for more holidays.
"The fact that each month will be-
gin on Sunday and end on Saturday
will go far toward regulating our hap
hazard method of present day cOmpu-
tation," said Mr.. Hames. "Also joy will
be felt by the trader and the social set
alike that Easter will be uniformly the
third Sunday in April instead Of fol-
lowing the vagaries of the wandering
moon from early in March 20 late in
April. Another convenience is that
Christmas will always arrive in the
middle Of the week"
Mr.. Hames said his innovation had
been based in part on the church cal
endar.
"It is not new to change the calen-
dar," he went on. 1T is not so hard,
either People whose birthdays come
after the twenty-eighth Of the month
will have to change them, but the 9th
ers will not be affected. The extra day
may come in at the end of the year or
not 1t will not matter. for no one will
have to work on it,

"ROARING WAVE OF FIRE."
is HURLED BY GERMANS.
Many of the Victims Die From Suffo-
cation In Intense Heat.

A dispatch from the Daily Chroni-
cle'S correspondent In the north OF
France says that an officer who was
on the fighting line when the Germans
attacked with blazing gases has given
his impressions of this novel engine OF
warfare as follows:
II don't think the use of these flames
was any less formidable than that of
aSphyXiating gases. Their effect at
short range is much worse, but 1t is
easier to find shelter from them. The
flames carry only n relatively short
distance and cannot reach you long
way off, as often is the case with poi
son gases.
The flame is yellow with a blue
nucleus and is directed through pow
erful air jet. 1t springs from the
ground level and expands into roar
ing wave Of fire. Indeed. the flame Is
very much like that of Il common Bun
sen burner, used in laboratory, only
yellower.
THE pressure of air or other gas that
is used to force the inflammable liquid
through the jet must be enormous, In
view Of the volume and fury of the
fame. Many Of the victims died SIM
ply from suffocation. caused by the in
tense heat that rolled forward in front
of the flames. which did not touch
them"

MODERATE DRINKING EVEN
WILL HURRY ONE TO GRAVE.
Statistics Show That Two Drinks {
Day Are Detrimental.

Two whiskies a day or more than
two glasses of beer boom the death
rate, according to a comparison Of NOR
tally rates among insured persons who
consume varying amounts of liquor.
The comparison is made by DR.. S.
S. GOldWater, commissioner of health,
New York, and was given out at the
eighth annual meeting of the Associa-
ton of Life Insurance Presidents by
Arthur Hunter, chairman Of the bu-
reau Of medicO-actuarial investigation.
The comparison was taken from rec
ords Of about 100000 lives, covering
a period Of twenty-five years, made by
forty three life insurance companies for
use in their business. 1t is the largest
and most comprehensive investigation
ever undertaken by insurance compa-
MES.
The comparison showed that among
men who took more than two glasses
of beer or one glass of whisky or their
equivalent a day. but who did not or
never had used alcoholic beverages to
excess, the death rate was so per cent
higher than that of the men who never
did exceed the amounts specified.
Investigations have revealed that to-
tai abstainers have mortality during
working years of life Of about One-half
of that among those who use alcohol to
the extent of at least two glasses OF
whisky day.

WILLIAM THAW DECORATED.
American In French Aviation Corps
Gets His Third Citation.


William Thaw OF Pittsburgh, who is
serving as an aviator In the French
army, has just received his third cita-
ton in the orders Of the day. He has
been detailed to the dangerous work
Of locating and observing German bat
teries, often situated two or three miles
behind the first line.
Recently while flying low one shell
broke Immediately beneath his ma
chine. 1t is the Germans custom to
fire three test shells to locate an avi-
ators range. AS soon as the first shell
broke Thaw Immediately started to
rise and then dive to avoid the two
ensuing shells.
A moment later one shell exploded
a short distance in front and the third
one directly behind. A piece of shrap-
mel carried away a portion Of the tail,
and for a moment the machine APP
peared lost. Thaw succeeded in right
ing it, regaining control, turned and,
after passing through a hot rifle fire.
landed safely inside the French lines.
The general commanding the divi-
sion. who witnessed the feat. asked to
be presented to the aviator, as he
wished to compliment him. Thaw was
Immediately brought before the gener-
al The following morning the citation
appeared in the orders Of the day.

PUBLIC WATCHES
BRITISH ACTIONS
Speculates on Next Step After
England Makes Known Stand.
HOLDS UP NEUTRAL SHIPS.

Asserts That She Will Allow No
Products With Germany as the UIti-
mate Destination to Pass Through
North Sea-Her Only Weapon
Against the Submarine Warfare.
Diplomatic exchanges between Ger
many and the United States are now
overshadowed by the notes between
this government and Great Britain.
The differences arise over exports from
the United States to other neutral
points.
Great Britain refused to modify her
order in council and to accede to the
demands made by President Wilson on
March 80 that American ships and car
goes be allowed to proceed unmolested.
One recent note presents an argu-
mentative justification Of the British
ply to Americas refusal to admit the
legality of British prize court proce-
dures. 1t defends the legality of the
prize courts, but offers to adjudicate the
questions which arise by an interna-
tional tribunal, if valid grounds for
such course are proposed.
The correspondence defends the ac-
zion Of British commanders in holding
up the American steamer Neches,
bound from Rotterdam to the United
States with a cargo in part of Belgian
origin.
Engand's Main Contentious.
The British position may be summed
up in the following manner:
First.-It is neither just nor reasona-
BILE for the United States to press
Great Britain to give up its present
method Of curtailing American COM
merce with Germany and the neutral
nations adjacent to her until Ger
many is compelled to give up her al
legged unlawful submarine warfare.
Second.-It is the duty of Great Brit
ain to use every means at her COM
mand to destroy the nation which is
responsible for the preparation of the
atrocities said to have been commit
ted in Belgium, the use Of poisonous
gases against the allied troops in
Flanders, the poisoning of wells in
German Southwest Africa and the
sinking of the Lusitania.
Most Effective Weapon.
Third.-As a reprisal against German
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1915-08-12

methods Great Britain adopted the or
weapon to be used on the sea.
Fourth.-Ine orders in council as
adopted by Great Britain and as en-
forced by her cruiser commanders are
based upon the fundamental principles
of international law. New conditions
have made it necessary to use new
methods in carrying out the principles
of law most effectively.
Fifth.-On the surface the means
adopted by Great Britain may appear
to infringe upon the fundamental law,
but in fact they are in perfect keeping
with the law.
Sixth.-The methods now being used
By Great Britain were introduced by
American commanders during the civil
war, when the federal government
completely destroyed the southern
trade with England.
Follows United States Precept.
Seventh.-The American supreme
court enunciated the doctrine Of con-
tinuous voyage, and, although every
other nation protested, Great Britain
accepted it as sound law, notwith-
standing the fact that it cost her
dearly.
Eighth.-It is this same doctrine of
international law to which Great Brit
ain is adhering today. Great Britain
has not damaged the legitimate COM
merce between the United States and
the neutral countries of Europe, but
has merely sought to block the ship
ments which were destined for trans
shipment from neutral ports to Ger
many.
Nlnth.-Great Britain is justified alb
solutely in this practice by the evil
dence that has been adduced to show
that the shipments held up by her
cruisers were actually destined to en-
ter Germany.
Tenth.-Great Britain intends to con-
tinue this practice, but if the United
States is not satisfied with the deci-
sions Sf the prize courts which pass
upon the American cases the British
government will welcome the estab-
that will adjudicate any questions
which arise in respect to the funda-
mental principles upon which the court
procedure is based.
EIeventh-The trade of the United
States has increased greatly with 9th
er European countries during the war
and has more than Offset the losses
sustained by the destruction of the
German and Austrian American trade.
An Unanswered Question.
One point in the American note that
England did not answer is: That Great
Britain never has made a semblance
of blOckading the German coast OF
the Baltic and that no blockade can
be effective until this coast is included.
SO long as the Scandinavian countries
are free to send their ships across the
Baltic to German ports an unfair hard
ship is being worked against Ameri-
can shippers in favor of Scandina
VANS.

BORROWED A MALLET.

And Went Over to the Enemy's Trench
es For 1t.
One of our men in the trenches, says
a London paper, was ordered to ham
mer in a post which supported some
wire entanglements and had become
loOsened Finding that there was no
hammer, the man coolly walked across
to the nearest trench of the enemy and
asked to be lent hammer or mallet.
Evidently surprised and pleased at
the courage of the man, one Of the
German soldiers handed him a mallet.
and the post having been Strengthened
and fixed, the man walked back to the
German trench. returned the mallet
and calmly rejoined his companions.
