OFFICER PAYS TRIBUTE
TO FATHERLESS BABE

LONDON, Mar. 15.-The following
sidelight on war was seen on a Lon
don street today. A British officer,
carrying his arm in a sling, was pre-
pairing TO step off a street car when
young woman, dressed in deep
mourning, baby in her arms, step
ned on the platform. The child cried
Daddy" with embarrassing enthusiasm
on seeing the officer. The passengers
giggled, the officer blushed and tears
rushed into the eyes of the young
widow. In an instant the tragedy or
war was revealed to everybody. The
wounded officer drew himself UP
stiffly and saluted the baby. This
tribute to the dead father froze any
further merriment and the incident
was closed.

today that a submarine, possibly the
long expected Bremen, was sighted

power wireless apparatus, whereas
those carried by American submarines
are of low power.

that there should be an unusually

soldiers lined up along the interna-
ticnal boundary line to the number of
100 or more, all standing at attention,
the strains of America" "Dixie," !"
and "The Star Spangled Banner"
floated across into America from Mex
leo Sunday night.
The strains of music came from the
25th regiment Mexican band, under
the direction Of Lieutenant Candido
Gomez, a portion of the regular band
concert given each Sunday evening.
It is habit for many American SOL
diers to listen to these concerts. While
the Americans are not allowed to
cross the line into Mexico. they line
up along the boundary ditch, which
is just over the fence from the plaza
of the Heroes of Chapultepec where
the Mexican band plays.
AS the band struck up the first
strains of "The Star Spangled Banner"
Sunday night, the Americans all stood
at attention and remained so while
the various patriotic airs of the Unit
- States We're played.

He said in part:
every army insists in its enlist
ments, on obtaining men above the
average in physical efficiency. It's
ideal is the red-blooded man with
dash and daring, bit Of an adven-
turer to begin with, to be reduced to
q cog in a great machine by the
pressure of military discipline. In
general, those who fight best are most
likely to be killed.
"The bravest men," says Darwin,
"who were always willing to come to
the front in war, and who freely
r.sked their lives for others, would
on an average perish IN greater num-
bers than other men. Better men
uould make better history. The de-
mands of battle and camp cut off
men from parenthood in the prime
CT life. This leaves the men war cah-
not use to be the fathers Of coming
generations.

Farmers Studying Feed
Situation for the Season

A good many farmers are now feed
ing hay which they had hoped either
tc sell or hold for winter feeding, and
everybody comedies that there will
be a big feed shortage this winter,
which can only be partially overcome.
A great deal of live stock has been
shipped, and there is disposition to
get it to market as soon as possible,
on account of the short crops.
With more hogs for shipment this
season than for several years, there is
considerably increased home con-
sumption of barley, and there will be
a tendency to still further rely on this
grain for fattening purposes, now that
short corn yield is certain.

/, was IN 1876 that Denman Thomp-
son, while suffering from an attac
of rheumatism during an engagement
at Martins Variety Theater in Pitts
burg, conceived the idea OF rural
dramatic sketch which he then called
Joshua Whitcomb." The success OF
this sketch led him to expand it into
a play which was presented for the
first time at the Boston Theater /
1886 under its present title, THE Old
Homestead" The marvellous popu-
larity of this rustic drama is easily
explained by the fact that it paints
real life in itse truest and best as
poets, and that it tells the simplest of
stories concerning the simplest of
people. Frank Losee, one of the best
known actors on the American stage,
will play the role of Josh Whitcomb,
made unforgettable by Denman
