oowARDIcE Is RARE IN THE WAR.

This is the story that was told by an officer
who had been nvalided to the rear. IL may not
be true for many of the war stories are pure ne
tion. And then again it may be every word the
truth. as it was told to Herbert Corey, the war
correspondent of The Times.
There was the young girl who sat in the mar
ket place Of village just outside of Cambria She
had smiled-innocently enough, the invalided Of
ficer thnks-at the Germans an they came march
ing in. An officer approached her:
Have you seen anything Of French troops in
the VILLAGE" he asked.
She had not she said But moment later
the Germans were fired on from ambush, After
an hour of fighting they cleared the town OF
Frankoises, A raging officer looked into WIN
dow, to see again the girl who had smiled Now
she was pale and shaken.
You lied to mel" he shouted. "YOu told me
there were no French troops in town"
The girl wept She said she had be Just come
to the town-that in all truth she did not know
the French were there The invaided officer be-
lieves that she told the truth. But in war ex-
amples are necessary The inhabitants must know
that the giving of false information is punishable
by death.
Very well, then said the girl who smiled.
Very well then"
So they shot her in the little street of that
French village The invalided officer was told
that the color had come back to her face She
stood quite erect and watched the officer who was
to give the signal The invalded officer had
heard other stories but he could not recoeCt them
in detail, One hears so much of that sort Of
thing in war, he explained Very often the stories
were not at all true But what he had seen and
what he had heard had left the one impression on
his mind-that courage Is quite common quality
Cowsrdice is rare
The most commonplace of men, said he, die
quite we'll"

in pleasures The newest Of these is the so-called

il is the proper thing to have an excuse for sitting

up the situation in Belgium, and it is not difficult
to guess at his nationality,

NO PRINTING GRAFT THIS SESSION.

The assurance is given by Speaker McCrory of
the lower house Of the Legislature that there will
be no graft at this session lie has stated that he
will appoint committees composed of men who are
entirely honest and that these committees will give
due time and consideration in letting contracts.
This being the case, or since the printing Is to
be let by the board Of affairs, of course all the
rumors about preparations for graft in printing
were false and baseless. They were in circuls-
tion, however, and right at a time when one al
legged printing graft case on trial IN the district
court
1t is to be hoped that Speaker McCrory will be
as successful as he hopes to be in preventing graft
in everything connected with the session. 1t will
be well for him to remember, though that there
are many in the state who expect to be rewarded
for their campaign work They see nothing in sight
in the way Of offices, for Governor elect Williams
has declared for economy Therefore il they do
not get something while the legislature is in SEES
sion they will lose out entirely
There are even those who expect to be reward
ed for their disappointments during the cam
paign At least one man who made a bid for the
ballot printing is said to be hoping for contract
for legislative printing regardless OF any bids that
may be made II is barely possible that Speaker
McCrory did not know Of this man 3 hopes and the
events that might have resulted therefrom
And furthermore it will be wisdom on the part
of Speaker McCrory il he can prevent all graft in
the legislature. II there was ever time in the
history Of the state when there should be none at
all It is right now Speaker McCrory knows il
and other members know it, but there is ques-
ttion about all Of them being able to resist the
temptation and the opportunities OF their friends
