GEN. JOFFRE COMMANDS
 ALL FRENCH ARMIES

Paris, Jan. .5-GeneraI Joffre in per son informed General Courieres de C:Lstelnau of his nomination as com mander of all the French armies cpe- rating in France and Belgium. He made a trip of 25O miles by motor car to do it, and the interview lasted just five minutes.
 On Friday. Dec. II, the General Headquarters was called up by tele- phone from Paris. Thirty seconds la ter Joffre was in his on the way to I---, the headquarters of the group of armies then commanded by Gen era1 de Castelnau, 125 miles distant. Arrived at L--, Joffre rushed into the headquarters unannounced, cry ing: 'Tt's done,'' embraced the new France, exchanged 8 few words of fe- Hcitation and in five minutes was on his way back to General Headquar- ters. He stopped just once on the way for lunch at an auberge in a small village where a detachment of sol dlers were at rest. They were at ta- ble and all jumped to their feet when "Our Joffre'' came in.
 Let no one disturb himself here,' cried the General. '.Al1 want is just a little place at the end of the table between couple of these brave fel- lows, and some cold meat with a cou- pie of eggs
 The hostess, nearly delirious with pride at serving the GeneraI-in-Chie yet almost frantic she hadn't time to prepare a '.piece de resistance" and because Joffre insister upon the sim pie fare and upon eating it from bare boards like her habituaI guests, the simple t'poilus.''
 During the lunch General Joffre chatted with the soldiers around him, inquiring how they were situated, as to winter comforts, where they came from, how long they had been at the front and if they had been home on leave. It took him twenty minutes to eat his cold meat and eggs, to learn the campaign records of the simple soldiers who broke bread with him, and resume his journey back to Gen. eraI Headquarters.

SIBERIAN BRIDGES
 GUARDED CLOSELY

Harbin. Jan, 5-Three German prisoners disguised as Chinese were arrested on the night of November IS on a Trans-S Siberian train at Tsit- sikar, two hundred miles west of liar bin.
 f The conductor saw one of the men looking out of a window in the corrf- dor of one of the coaches, while the train was crossing a large bridge over Nonna river. When questioned the man in Chinese garb refused to talk The conductor pulled off the passen- gers cap and queque and discovered that the man had brown hair and stained his skin the color. of Chi neSe.
 A search through the train resulted in the discovery of three other pas sengers similarly disguised. All of the men were detained at Tsitsikar.

THE LABOR MARKET
 IN MIDWINTER

Labor conditions in winter create some peculiar problems in the United States Skilled labor is rarely un- employed for any length of time. But there is always a. large class of sea- sona1 1aborers for whom winter brings little but odd jobs and often not those.
 The great grain and other crops of this country keep an enormous num- Der of men busy through the summer months for whom there is little OF no. work in winter. Another great ar-. my of men are released by the stop- page of highway work. construction jobs, etc. The condition of these men and their families through the winter is often pitiful
 Summer is the cheapest time to live. In the farming districts great quanti- ties of Vegetab bles and fruits can be had for low prices. The family chicken yard is a great source of de-, pendence until the short days when the hens go on strike. In cold eli mates it is pathetic to see the high prices the poor have to pay for fuel. In many of the staples the man who has the least money pays the highest prices, through his inability to buy in quantities. Winter brings the sea- sonal worker up against the most cost-l 1y living conditions with only odd jobs to depend on.
 The only radical remedy is for the seasonal worker to learn soyne skilled trade which will make his service de- sirable the year around. This is often impossible because of physical weak nesses or other incapactty uniting men for the strains and tasks of in door mechanical work. If there was no labor reserve to draw from, the question would arise as to how the great farm staples of the country could ever be harvested.
 People who have work of any kind to hire that can be performed in win ter would render a public service by having it done at that time when un- skilled labor is less well employed than usual. Often they subject them selves to annoying postponements by putting off repairs and Improvements until the busy season comes. The equalization of the demand for labor would do a great deal to relieve con ditions of distress.

MJKDFN DYNAMITE
 THROWERS CAUGHT

Peking, Jan. 5.-Announcement has been made of the settlement of the Mukden bomb incident about which have centered for months. The three Chinese students who were arrested by Japanese officials and held on a. charge of having dynamited the shop of a. Japanese medicine dealer last summer are to be turned over to the Chinese authorities.
 However, the conditions under which these students are to be surren- dered to the Chinese are very distaste- commenting upon them with much bitterness.
 Under the terms of the agreement. China is to pay twenty thousand dol Iarh, Mexican indemnity to the medi- cine dealer in whose shop the bou1h3i exploded. Wang Lo-n1ins the Chinese whom the Japanese now accuse of having caused the explosion is to be arrested, tried and punished accord ing to the evidence collected by the Japanese police. The right of the Japanese to review the judgment passed on the prisoner is reserved by the Japanese authorities. Punish meut is to be meted out to the Mu4z- den chief of police. and to all his sub ordfnates as a warning that they must preserve order.
 It is con+ended by the Chinese news papers that the medicine dealer whose shop was dynamited was really dealer in opium and one of the many Japanese charged with violating the Chinese law against the opium traffic. Mukden is in Chinese territory and consequently the Chinese resent sharp lv the Japanese assumption of 5u- risdiotion in that city.

London as IL Waa

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates" makes
the statement that the old name of the
city Of London was written Lynden or
Llyndin, meaning "the city on the
lake" An old tradition gives US to
understand that London was founded
by Brute, a descendant Of Aeneas, and
called New Troy or Troynovant until
the time Of Lud, who surrounded the
town with walls and named it Caer-
Lud, or Lud's Town. This latter is
probably the correct version of the
story, If for no other reason, because
1t is an easy matter to detect a sim
llarity between the expression Lud's
Town and London. It is claimed by
some writer's that there was a city on
the same spot 1,1T years B. c., and it
Is known that the Romans founded q
city there called Londinium A. D. 81.

Tree Food,

Trees manufacture their own food.
The sunlight furnishes the energy to
carry on the work. The elements
Which make up the food on which the
tree lives and grows are obtained from
the air through the foliage and from
the soil through the roots. Their con-
stituents-carbonic acid gas, oxygen,
water and mineral salts-combined
form the food which sustains the tree.
