wooden framework and placed upright
across the tracks between two houses.
The next morning, when the Germans
looked up the tracks, the view was ap-
parently just the same as usual, except
for the curious fact that the crossing re-
mained deserted from that time on.
They never discovered the deception,
and the French soldiers have been able
to pass back and forth behind the screen
in perfect security.
One is always seeing odd sights at the
front. At one point, about hundred
yards or so from the French first line
trenches, lie the ruins of what was once
a pretty little French village. For
some time it was directly between the
trenches of the Germans and French,
but was at last captured by the latter.
Scattered among the ruins are sever
al Mccormick reapers, which seem
strangely out of place in the general
scene of wreckage and desolation. One
of them lies in front of the ruins of the
former Cafe du Midi, which is now lit.

II may be heresy in angling to sug

Find Secret Armorv.

In q secret cupboard in Monmouth
shire (England) mansion known as
PontypOol Park, there has been dis
covered store of arms consisting
OF so flint-lock muskets with bayonets
attached, 100 spare bayonets, and five
swords, all in excellent condition.
They bear dates from 1851 to 1854,
and are marked "Glamorgan M" Ap,
parently they were the secret armory
prepared in anticipation OF riot and
mob law From 1884 till 1774 succeed
ing Hanburys of Pontypooi Park were
members of parliament for Mon
mouthshire, and At the period of riot
and revolt which followed the efforts
OF George LII to put his heel on the
neck OF parliament Capel Hamburg
was one of those whom the masses
seemed to have regarded as the enc
mics OF the people. 1t is surmised
that 1t was Capel Hamburg who gath
cred together the muskets and bayo-
nets for the arming of his retainers
in the event of attack, and when the
tide of popular fury ebbed, and Ponty-
pool Park was spared, the arms lay
in the cupboard neglected, and at last
completely forgotten-to be unearthed
when the old controversy between
king and people is practically forgot

Chinese Clothing.

Chinese costumes are funny things
but very convenient, for most OF
them can be worn inside out just as
well as any other way a writer on
Chinese life says: A Chinese govern
ment representative who was new to
American ways, came to the home on
an eminent New York banker for
weeks visit. 1t was winter. but he
came without luggSge, and yet every
day he appeared at dinner with a
change of garments. At first his hos
tess wondered how he managed it. but
soon she discovered that his body was
his trunk. and that instead Of putting
his clothes into his trunk. he put his
trunk into his clothes. His garments
were like the layers OF an onion. ex-
cept that any layer might be worn on
the outside, and as some OF his gowns
for such they might be called-were
silk lined with fur, or fur lined with
silk. he could wear them either side
out at will.

SEES TWO WAYS !.

real PROGRESS

sAs 4 see the municipal situation
there are only two ways In which
Honolulu is going to get anything
Hike efficient government" said G. O
BoclaS today. Zone OF these Is fo'
such men as f. d. Tenney, +. Faxon
Bishop, II. NJ. Swanzy and others to
accept city office. They are about
the busiest men We have and the busy
man Is the man who does things.
They will be able to settle these prob
lens. win which the present board Is
manifestly unable to cope. !
"The second way is for the city to
adopt the commission-manager form
of government. get real live bust
ness man for city manager, pay him
q salary that Is commensurate with
hts sbrains and cut his office loose
froW peanut politics. Give him 8
free hand, and what is very essential
let him run the road department in
stead Of having II run by men who
areSto get the jobs because they are
voters or control voters. s,s.. - .
The present system OF electing su.
perrisors is. to my mind, wrong and
II has broken down invariably. For
the amount of money that is spent
here Honolulu Is not getting anything
like proportionate results. ~ ft'S

BIG BEN

Big Ben lay on the hillside, well
within sight of the Jail from which
he had escaped. But that implied no
particular danger to Big Ben, for one
could see 20 miles in the clear at
mOsphere of the hills and the peni-
tertiary was at least II miles away,
and that lay across forest and noun
tain.
Big Ben was lifer. He had killed
a fellow man while, mad with drink.
He had served four years and had
been made a trusty. He had not
planned to escape, but the way was
open and he walked out.
That had been eight days before.
Big Ben had raided a hencoop, seized
a dozen struggling fowls, tied them
into bundle and taken them to his
retreat. They were busy laying eggs
for his breakfast-what were left of
them. Big Ben had no appetite. He
had also stolen a sack of flour and
=
dozen boxes of matches, as well as a
goodly supply of chewing tobacco.
Now he was at peace with the world.
He meant to stay there another
week, until the hue and cry had died
down, and then to make his way
across the hills to the railroad.
They had been firing guns all the
night before, but that could not be
on account of his escape. Big Ben
wondered whether another prisoner
had escaped. He felt sorry for Ira
Wis, the warden, who had always
treated him so well. Travis would
get into trouble about him. If an
other prisoner had made his getaway
Travis would probably lose his Job,
and the prison system would be more
severe. Big Ben was sorry for Ira

would die rather than go back to the

Substance Of Agreement Made by
Scott and 0hreSOn
WILL RETIRE GRADUALLY
Americans viii Move Northward as
Rapidly as carranzistas improve
Conditions in Mexico.

FL PasO, Texas, May 3.-The crisis
in the Mexican situation mas been
passed In the twelve house that end
ed early this morning Major Gen.
Hugh l.. Scott, representing the Unit
cd States, and General Alyaro Obre-
gon Minister of War OF the de facto
Government OF Mexico, drafted a ten
tatiye agreement regarding the Ameri
can punitive expedition which went in
to Mexico to catch Villa and disperse
his bands.
Another conference is to be held,
probably tomorrow, but this will be
only a formality unless some unfore-
seen circumstances arises. The provi-
sions Of the tentative agreement were
not announced but it is understood
they meet the requirements of both
Governments and that no definite date
is set for the retirement of American
troops from Mexico
Although American officers will not
discuss the arrangements, Mexican
military men believe that the with-
drawal OF the American troops will
take place in about two months They
say that in view Of prospective CO.
operation between American soldiers
and CaTanzista forces the hunting
down OF the bandit groups in Chihua-
hua and Durango scarcely can take
more time than that. On assurances
from General Carranza that the BAN
dts are dispersed the northward
movement Of American troops win at
tain full speed.
Meantime, it was pointed out, there
would be constant movements north
ward .oi American detachments, so
that at the final orders for withdrawal
there would be only part of the pres
ent expeditionary force left in Mexico.
General Obregon, it is understood,
is pledged to throw every available
man of his military strength into the
hunt for the marauiing bands. 1t is
believed that almost all the $4,000
men suggested by General Carranza
as Mexican border patrol, in case
the American Government consented
to withdrawal. will be utilized in the
campaign The American force will
block effeotually any fight northward
OF the bandits
