WIRE ORDERS RUN
 FLANDERS BATTLE

London, Jan. 12-ForS three days the operations, of the British army in. Flanders were directed by telegraph from the home; office of Sir John French, London. during the generals recent visit here. While it took Well hngton three days to get a message to Whitehall and as long to receive Q reply, during the Waterloo compatgn,, General French was able to commuu- ioate directly with Sir Archibald Murray at the base Headquarters at St. Omer, France.
 From. a man who was in close touch with Sir John during his recent visit to England. the. following de- tails are learned:
 General French arrived at Folkes- stone wearing the overcoat and rather soi1ed cap of an enlisted man He made no attempt to disguise him self. otherwise and on the channel boat attracted no notice whatever. At F'olkestone he was net by Lord Kitchener and the two proceeded by motor to Walmar Castle near Deal, ] where Premier Asqutth resides. There a fcounciI of was was held att tended by the leaders of the two po- litica1 parties. where he attended councils the next two days, the king being present on one occasion His nights were spent l in his own home where hourly mes sages were received direct from his headquarters at tIl4 front
 On his trip bys train from Fo1ke- stone to London and on his return
 from Victoria Station, none of the passengers gave a second look at the i old soldier in the private coat and leap, shorn of insignia Nor did they Ton the boat during the trip to
 Calais.
 On landing at Calais, however,
 General French appeared in his full enthusiastically acclaimed by the
 crowd as he drove through the lsstreets to the station!
 General French is said to have re- Hmarked that this would be his last
 visit to London until the end of the Ewar.

bition Mile Postponed.

a matinee racing program of two
races was given yesterday afternoon
by the Davenport Business Mems Rae
ing association at the mile track before
a small crowd of people. A mere hand
full Of less than two hundred people
paid admission at the gate Transpor-
tation facilities, which are exceedingly
bad, and too many other attractions are
attributed as the cause of the small at
tendance.
The renowned grand circuit race
winner, Don Densmore, 2:0284, now in
training at the Davenport track, was
booked to pace an exhibition mile, but
this event was postponed until the
next matinee.

Recount the Past
The intention was to have gone to
the school grove for an afternoon pic
mic supper, but the COOL damp weather
caused a change Of plan and all gath
cred in the old Masonic hall, where a
long table was spread and all sat
down to a most appetizing picnic sup
pei. prepared by the Rock Island and
Andalusia people who happened to
know of the scheme a few hours in ad-
vance. After supper came the usual
after-dinner stunts which, as can cas-
lily be imagined, consisted mainly in
Iecounttng many of the old expert
ences and recalling the old names
by which many of the company were
known in that earlier day, and re-
counting many little pieasantries that
had been long forgotten.
A committee was appointed to de-
wise ways and means of charging on
this impromptu meeting and arrang-
ing to set a time for a general annual
home coming.
Each one expressed himself as hay
ing spent one Of the pleasantest af-
ternoons of his life. and about
O'Clock the gathering broke up with
a general Misunderstanding and many
hearty good-byes, and a pledge from
all to boost for a big gathering for
next year.

Whatever else you may be, you must
not be useless, and you must not be
cruel If there is any one point which
in 5000 years of thinking about right
and wrong wise and good men have
agreed upon or successfully by expert
ence discovered, it is that God dislikes
idle and cruel people more than any
others; that his first order is, Work
while you have light and his second.
BE Tnerciful while you have mercy. -
