A Tactless
 Wooillg By EDWARD J. STEWART

The evacuation of Vera Cruz had ,aken place. and the fleet was ready to sail. The surgeon In charge of the hos. pital approached the medical director to report that all invaIids had been re moved.
 "There's a man." said the former, who, l think. must have died without his death getting on to the list He was dying yesterday afternoon. l haven't seen hlm since and presume his body was removed. Conoyer should have seen to it that the record was made"
 Well, there's no time nOw." said tho medical director, ito investigate the case. We must go aboard"
 So It was that when the ships reach ed the United States the name of Hor ace Morton. petty officer. was reported "Died in hospital"
 Now. 1t happened that the elimina ton of Horace Morton was very ac. ceptable to Mrs. Martha Jones, thF mother of Ethel Jones, who had been betrothed to the sailor before he de parted for Vera Cruz. He had nothing to marry on. while Philip Thompson, 8 plumber, who also wanted Ethel, had made considerable funds in his buSi ness and was able 10 take care of her in good style. Mrs. Jones had set her face against her daughters marrying Morton, and to quiet the old lady Ethel promised that If her lover lost his life in Mexico she woald marry Thompson After this promise there was peace in the Jones family. Mrs. Jones hoping that the man who she considered stood In the way of her daughters welfare would be snufTed out by Mexican bull let.
 But there was only d small scrap at the landing at Vera Cruz, and greatly 10 Mrs. Jones disappointment, Morton was not among the killed. Then came the evacuation, and with 1t the mother made preparations to renew the fight in the matter of a sGnin-law. But when she read in a morning paper that Morton had died at Vera Cruz she nut tered silent thanks and with every ap pearance of heartfelt sympathy broke the sad news 10 her daughter, all the while laying plans for d wedding with the plumber.
 Ethel shut herself up In her room for a week, then came out with surren der telling her mother that since her lover was dead she cared not whom she married and was perfectly willing to take the plumber or any one else. Such being the case, Mrs. Jones sent MT Thompson word that the way was open for him to win her daughter, but she advised him to be very circumspect and proceed slowly. She believed that Ethel thought she loved another but that the girl was deceiving herself. A few weeks courtship would do the business.
 MT. Thompson. who was not an adept in wooing a woman who had just lost the man she loved, began by sending Ethel an invitation to plumbers ball Fortunately. he sent 1t through Mrs Jones. who threw It in the fire with all

OUR SENTIMENTS

The passing of the Juneau Steam ship Company will cause regret to the people of Juneau and elsewhere in souraeasIern Alaska that has beer. served by that company. It Is g. matter of regret that the post office department seems to believe that ,; is not a part of it's duty to take frontier transportation con dicous into account, and to aid in development by keeping vessels on a regular run that would afford the people adequate transportation. and passenger accommodation The waters of Alaska are not always uay5gable by small boats. In fact the Georgia had a run that many times was too much for a vessel of her dimensions. It would have been more in keeping with the uees of rAe situation if the gov crumeut had required a larger and more pone erful steamer than the Georgia on the mail routes covered in the past by that little steamer.
 It Is also unfortunate that the government has terminated a mail service 10 the important Berner's Bay district. This section should be regularly served with mail. In- stead of stopping the mail service between Juneau and Skagway and way points, the government should be establishing more mail routes in Southeastern Alaska-Empire.

 Any small, secure shelter can be built in the yard so that the patient is pro-
 tected from hot sun and severe winds.
 The principal aim is to make the suf-
 ferer as comfortable as possible, so that there will be complete relaxation of both
 mind and body. For those who cannot afford a permanent structure, few
 boards nailed together and covered with canvas, and an ordinary steamer chair
 will answer the purpose very well. A large, stout umbrella firmly fastened to the back of the steamer chair will make 1, a good substitute if tent cannot be had. In a large city, especially in crowded sections, where no yard IS available often the roof may be used. | The most ideal condition is secured where a special porch for the exclusive use of the patient can be built. l Of course this is not necessary where there is already a covered veranda, part of which can be fitted with canvas cur | tainS.
 l From the porch, a door or window I should open directly into the house, so that the patient may easily call when he needs anything, and those attending him can expedtiously arrange his nourlsn- ment which is an important part Of the l treatment.

screaming over, and the Queenslander, turning quickly to me, cried warningly:
 Duck your blamed head, Birdie! And what did you do?' inquired the colonel, aghast, anticipating an account of a sum- mary courtmartial. Why, I ducked my blamed head, of course." was the smil- ing reply of the distinguished general.
 Glorious deeds of individual bravery and thrilling episodes at Anzac would fill volumes. but one thing stands out alone; that was the fortitude and cheerfulness of wounded Anzacs. They died smiling, often with the words of their war-song on their lips, Australia will be there.' Famous surgeons and war correspondents with experience of other fronts met noth- ing like it 1t before. In an inspiring poem, London Punch gave tribute to the Anzacs as "the bravest thing God ever made" The Australian is described by competent judges as the finest soldier In the world Clean-cut, of magnificent physique, ex- traordinary endurance. and ever cool and resourceful, he is in a class by him. self He is grim and determined in com bat and a big, merry, overgrown boy in relaxation, with a fine capacity for en- toying the best of life.

government has tried to satisfy every body and has succeeded in satisfying nobody. Its first SteG was to divide petrol users, apart from the army and navy, into three classes. The first class includes persons who are using their cans for war purposes ar other purposes of vital interest to the nation. This class includes doctors and veterinary sur- geons. Users in this class are to De allowed to receive their full average SUD- ply, calculated on their consumption dur ing the last three months The second class comprises trade and commercial vehicles and a rough rule provides that they shall receive about half of their normal supply while the third class, which is composed of pleasure drivers, are to receive about 20 per cent of their normal supply.
 The trouble has all arisen over the application of this rough rule to the second and third classes. It Is obvious that the cutting down of the supply for commercial users to one-half is go- ing to cripple a great many businesses which depend on motor vehicles for their transport. It is also obvious that if there is a real shortage, pure joy riders have no claim at all to the vital juice" until the needs of the nations commerce are satisfied. It is also a
 
 petrol control committee that some classes of business are much more vital than others, and while fashion able milliners. dressmakers and jewell CTS, for instance, might be deprived of the use of their delivery cars alto- gether without anyone being penny the worse, the whole community must suffer if grocers and dry goods mer- chants are unable to deliver their goods
 ANOTHER MUDDLE
 The classification of pleasure users has also been badly muddled. For in- stance, all motor cyclists have been classed as joy riders and put on flat allowance of two gallons month. Now in England the motor cycle is largely used for business. For instance, scores of country builders, surveyors and other business men use motor cycles for getting about from job to job, and experimenting their workmen. Two gallons a month means about three

The Australian Soldier

From "Australia's Part in the Great
 War;" by Fred S. Afford, in the Ameri-
 can Review of Reviews.
 Critics say there is no discipline in an Australian army. From the continental standpoint there is not. Australians obey orders promptly and intelligently, but retain their individuality. General Bird- wood delights in relating experiences characteristic of the men of Anzac. An English colonel of the old school once complained that the Australians did not show him proper respect. That is nothing replied General Birdwood; they seldom salute me either. One day, when on the rounds of inspection, I passed a burly Queenslander on sentry duty who stared at me with nonchalant interest without saluting. Just then a shell came

 Why do the children all behave so toward me-? I asked. Because you look so strange she replied. And then she let me take a looking glass, and I was startled at the sight of myself. I had never noticed that my hair was growing long; but there it was, and my beard very long and white. There was a strange

Government Controls Sale by Monopoly for Good of

PRICE OF HORSES
 HIGHER AS RESULT
Business Houses Are Seriously Elm barrassed by Order of Committee Which Controls All Petrol
 in the Kingdom

London, July 2S.-Within the last fort night it Is estimated that fully half the motor vehicles in Great Britain have been laid up and within a month or two 1t is expected that half of those remain ing will go out of service until the end of the war or until the petrol situation becomes easier. England has managed in spite of German submarines and the shortage of shipping to keep up her food supply. No one, who can pay the price ask for food, need go hungry, but after August l petrol will not be purchaseable, very definite and restricted quantities. The government has instituted a system of petrol tickets which are issued to all registered motor vehicle owners and no one will be allowed to buy petrol in ex- cess of the amount specified on his ticket. When he has exhausted that quantity he must go without for three or six months, until his next ticket be- comes due.
 There is plenty of petrol in the world and as a matter of fact England ought to be getting an extra supply, because Ger many is cut off from the usual sources and her share ought to be available for the allies who command the seas The trouble is a shortage of shipping. The admiralty has taken control of all the tank steamers and will not release them for the carriage of petrol for private use. America and the Dutch East Indies may be overflowing with petrol, but there is no way of getting it here.

Two OF the big men who will speak
at the Laymen's Missionary ConVen-
tion in Grace Methodist Church,
March 10, 13 and IA are Charles l..
Fry, of Philadelphia, and George In
mes, of Cairo, Egypt.
Mr.. Fry is the general superinten-
dent of the Cause of Church Extension
in the General Council of the Lutheran
Church throughout the United States
and Canada. lie was pastor for twenty
years of the historic "Old Trinity" Luz
theran Church at Lancaster, Pa.
From Lancaster he was called to st.
Luke's in Philadelphia, where he lent
his constant aid in cooperative ac-
tivities, being spokesman before the
State Legislature at Harrisburg in the
successful effort to prevent the threat
ened repeating of the laws of the Com
monwealth against desecrating the
Lords Day.
Mr.. Fry has been active in all fed
Grated Christian movements, serving
as president of many of them. He was
one of the founders and officers OF
the Pennsylvania Chautauqua at Mt
Grctra and on the same grounds he
afterwards established summer
school for Lutheran teachers and
mission workers. one of the first in
stitutions OF its kind, which this year
was transferred TO the campus OF
Muhlenberg College at Allentown and
which has become the mother of other
summer schools in different synods.
Mr.. Fry has also occupied the presi-
Dental chair of the Philadelphia
County Sunday School Association.
In his own parish, DR.. Fry opened
the first daily Christian kindergarten
within the bounds of the synod. The
first Inner Mission Society in America
was organized in his homo for the
manifold work of Christian rescue and
prevention.
Mr. Innes has both an experience
and a message that are challenging &c
all serious men. In the prime of his
manhood. and i'm the midst of marked
business success, he decided to make
thorough study of the exact mis-
sionary situation. After trip around
the world. he turned much of his bust
ness over to others and now gives
most of his time to the enlistment OF
laymen in what he reEards as the big
gest and most important business he
has ever had anything to do with, the
missionary business. Mr.. Innes is a
big man physicall' and in every other
way. He makes a tremendous inn
preston on men by the recital of the
story of his own struggle with the de-
sire to make money and how he was
led to devote his life to Christian
work. At present much OF his time
and organizing ability are being given
to a project to put great Christian
University into Cairo. Egypt, the in
tellectual capital OF the Moslem
world. Mr.. lnnes is a fine speaker
whose message no layman can afford
to miss
