TOODLUMs EFFECTIVE VISIT

till after we had the youngster all fix ed up and asleep on the office couch that l began to wonder who the good Samaritan was. You see he suggested that Toodlums lie down, and he told her story while I cleaned up the muss. in order again I said: Well. my dear sir. you have been most kind to my daughter and me. What can | do for you"
 My name is Maltby,' he replied, and could hardly believe my ears. 'It never had occurred to me that the unapproachabie steel magnate that my cousin Richard had fairly begged to call on me could be so simple and human. Before I could collect myself he began to ask all about Toodlums. and he told me Adelaide, that he had had a little girl of his own, who wasn't quite so old as our baby is now, when she died suddenly. Honestly, dear when he told me I was affected that at him again in moment he was gently lingering one of Toodlums curls. Pure gold he said. Worth more than anything in the world. Then he began to pace the office. Now let's get down to brass tacks, Tucker, he said. You know I must know every detail of your proposition. never invest blindly.' Of course, I was only too happily to launch forth. and | well, the short of it is, my dear, he's actually ready to put in all the money I need. I don't believe he would ever have taken enough interest in the mat
 ter to let me even sketch the plan if il hadn't been for Toodlums, because he confessed that he had dropped in only | because he had promised Richard he | would, and he had expected to droI | out almost as quickly as he dropped 1T i but when he saw the wounded baby ! he couldn't leave"

THIS COUNTRY AS BUYER OF
 ISLANDS.

There are reasons for believing that this country did not depend upon the recent despatch from Copenhagen for information as to the sentiment which prevails in Denmark relative to the sale of the Danish West Indies. Aside from the fact that it has been known for years that it was anxious to get rid of the islands, and the negotia- tions which have taken place between the two countries, it unquestionably has information first handed that re- newed interest in sale was being taken.
 The United States does not want that group for the purpose of coloni- zation. It does not seek an extension of it's territorial limits. It is not anxious to assume any more respon- abilities among the islands of that part of the world than it already has and it is not eager to drive out for eign owners, but it is and must be alive to it's own interests and it must be recognized in this instance that they lie in preventing a change in ownership which would be detrimen- tai to the interest of this country and the Americas in general.
 To agree to the transfer of the Danish group from Denmark to any of the larger foreign nations would be against the policy of this country so long established under the Monroe Doctrine. National security played it's part in the ratification of the trea- ty with Nicaragua whereby it secures the right to construct a canal through that country, gets naval base on the Pacific and keeps others off and the same protection is desirable in this case.
 Because of it's opposition to foreigr encroachment Denmark understands that this country is the logical pur-
 chaser if there is going to be a sale and this country at the same time cannot afford to let any opportunity | slip by to obtain possession whe1 Denmark decides to let go.

 Senator Robinson, who has taken special interest in the aviation ser vice, recently found occasion to re- mark that it is "contemptibly inef1- cient" and that statement is now given increased attention by the dis closures which are being made be- fore the house committee which in- dicate that the head of the navy de- partment intends to keep it so.
 It was necessary for Secretary Daniels to right about face on the submarine position which he first toeh and in the face of some of the reve- lations which are being made rela- tive to the aviation service it is prob able that he will have a chance to dc the same concerning that.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

The war in Mesopotamian lands has meant new interest to the many peo- pies and tribes living in the great area Immediately east of Suez. Even the Bedouins have come to figure in one way or another in the news of the hour. The National Geographic So- clety, of Washington, gives an inter esting picture of their viewpoint upon the question of whether they are brf- gands and robbers or only a people enforcing laws which they have a right to make and execute. It says:
 Although the Bedouins claim them selves to be the descendants of Ish- mael, whoR the Angel of the Lord de- ciared would be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every mans hand will be against him." they declare themselves to be a peaceful people engaged only in collecting their legitimate dues from those who travel through their lands.
 While the hundreds of caravans which have been held up and deprived of their possessions will probably dis sent from their view, that view is given here for what it is worth. The Bedouins contend that the des- ert is his land as much as America be- longs to the Americans or England to the English. He reasons that he has as much right to levy a toll on all who travel his way as a Western Govern ment has to levy a tariff or to collect an excise tax.
 He contends that every caravan entering Bedouin territory can, by the payment of a proper fee, secure from the nearest Bedouin sheik a passport which will entitle it to safe passage through their territory. Failing to se-

OUR AVIATION SERVICE,

Revelations which are being made at the hearing before the house naval committee at Washington relative to appropriations for aeroplanes and aero-auxiliaries indicate that the navy department Is casting aside ad- vice in respect thereto as indiscrimi- nately as it did some time ago rela- tive to the submarines and other navy requirements. When Director Bristol who is in charge of naval aeronautics, declares that he recommended the ex- penditure Of $11, 900 for the pur- pose of bringing the flying corps up to requirements and that all but s2,- O06sOG8 was topped off, the greater paTt of which was done without con guifation with him, 1t can be realized that the navy department is prepar- iiag to 9nttt that branch of the defense eeEadS in much the same position Wy wy FN M

Stories of the War
Discipline Among Australian Recruits

Discipline Among Australian Recruits
 The military authorities are having an increasingly difficult task in pre- serving discipline among the Austra- lian recruits. There have been a num- Der of outbreaks by soldiers result ing in the burning of tents, the ston- ing of Greek fruit shops and oyster saloons in Sydney and Newcastle, and refusal among soldiers en masse to pay their fares on the state-owned railroads.
 The Liverpool camp, 25 miles from Sydney, being much the largest and most important one in the state is chiefly affected. There may be seen the ineptitudes, shortcomings and abuses which spring from an unpre- pared nations being suddenly called upon to cope with the mobilization, care and preparation of volunteer armies.
 tic spirit of the recruits at Liverpool especially those from the 'bush"- could be given to illustrate the prob lems facing the military powers high and low in Australia. A strapping rookie wishing to ask a question oi an officer who was about 100 yards ahead of him whistled loudly in typi-- cal country fashion and then yelled ''Hey!" The officer naturally believed that he was wanted on some important
 business walked rapidly back to the man who had hailed him. q say old chap" the recruit began
 propping himself against a post, q
 say"-
 You shouldn't slouch that way
 when you address an officer, the of l flcer gently reproved him. Perhaps you haven't been taught yet, but al ways remember in future that before speaking to an officer you should stand at attention"
 The recruit eyed the officer critically and then turning on his heel remark. ed: Well, if that's the way you're going to take it I won't bother asking you any questions" Another raw recruit digging a trenct 1 was accosted by an officer who hap. pened not to have his sword-belt on Hard at it?" the officer asked My oath mate," was the mans re. ply, but while you're here sergeant | can you tell a chap the difference be. l tween all these officers I see knokine l around. I don't know one bloke iron | another
 ''Well, to start with" said the officer
 I'm not sergeant" "No"?
 "No"?
 ''Well, don't know what you cal yourself-but they call me "marma' | lade", was the response. 'Marma. | Jade" being the cant word, on accoun | of the frequency of that ration, applied | to the privates at the camp by tht privates themselves.
