= The war tax on facilities furnished
by public utilities is now levied as
follows:
Three per cent of the amount paid

by any form of mechanical motor pow
er in competition with carriers by rail

other.

fraction charged by express compa-
MES for transportation from one point

chanical motor power on regular
established line in competition with
common carriers, from one point in
the United States to any point in the

ed States. No tax is Imposed on CON-
mutation or season tickets for trips

University Functions.

What is the matter with our univer-
stiles is that all the students are
schoolboys, whereas it is of the very
essence of university education that
they should be men, writes George
Bernard Shaw. The function of uni
versity is not to teach things that can
now be taught as well or better by
university extension lecturers or by
private tutors or modern correspond
ence classes with gramophones. We
go to them to be socialized !; to acquire
the hall mark of communal training;
to become citizens of the world in
stead Of inmates of the enlarged rab-
bit hutches we call homes; to learn
manners and become interchangeable
ladies and gentlemen. The social pres
sure which effects these changes
should be that of persons who have
faced the full responsibilities of adults
as working members of the general
community, not that Of barbarous rab-
BILE of half emancipated schoolboys and
unemancipatable pedants.

Growing a Character.

Character is what you are. Repu-
tation is what folks think you are.
Sometimes they are 80 we'll balanced
that you can't tell one from the 9TH
er, says Grit. But more often the one
is libel on the other. Folks exalt
virtues that do not exist and condemn
foll:es that are purely subjective and
personal. Much depends on who. re-
ports you. Friends are always chart
table and interpret our lives to best adj
vantage. Enemies can see no good in
us and report as they see. So repu-
tation may 1atter or condemn Not
so with character. This is something
beyond external observation. It is the
life itself as lived amidst its motives
and obstacles. Few people can know
its real value, for even you do not al
ways know just what you are capable
Of being until the emergency demands
display your worth. What you are in
the face Of severe testing is character.

Hearst Pathe News

The golden cross was pulled down
and dragged through the streets of
the city, and the Mosque of Omar,
which had been consecrated to Christ,
and was restored to the worship of
Mohammed. But not a drop of
Christian blood was shed after the
capitulation. Instead Of butchering
thousands Of the inhabitants, as the
Christians had done after conquering
the city, Saladin ordered that none
should be harmed. The weeping
Queen was treated with great consid-
Grafton and Saladin was so moved by
her misery that he shed tears of SYM
pathy. Later during the third cru
SADIE the Christians under Richard
Occur de Lion beheaded in cold blood
5000 Saracen hostages, and Saladin
furnished his reputation by revenging
himself upon Christians in his power
On the whole, however, he wa vastly
better than most of the rulers of his
time and shining example of
magnanimity as compared with the
Christian leaders who opposed him.

SALADIN.

For all their record of bloody
butcheries Of peaceful peoples, the
Turks are usually fair and at times
even magnanimous in warfare. Many
neutral and Allied correspondents in
the near East have paid gracious tri-
butte to this virtue of the Turk, which
is in marked contrast to the cruelty of
his former enemy and present friend,
the Christian Bulgar. Perhaps it is
the memory of the greatest of Moslem
sultans and warriors, the immortal
SaIadin, which causes the Turk to
treat his captives with respect and
consideration, even to the point of
defying his Teuton masters. 1t was
on this date in 1893 that Saladin
died in Damascus, leaving behind
him, for the admiration and respect Of
future ages, a reputation for magnan-
unity which still exercises a potent
influence on the Moslem mind 1t
was only six years, before his death
that Seladin defeated Guy de Lusig-
nan, the Christian King of Jerusalem,
and obtained possession of the sacred
city, which had been captured by the
Crusaders lightweight years before.

"In spite Of the ingenuity of the

yond doubt that the proposition to
make Gen. CarranZa a tool of Berlin

timely unmasked and will give nm

including a power which is engaged in

JELLICOE'S UNDERSTUDY.

"Jellicoe's understudy," the English
call Sir Cecil Burney, who was one of
the heroes Of the naval battle of Jut-
land, commanding the first battle
squadron which was SO potent an in
fluence in causing the Teutons to beat
a hasty retreat. When Sir John was
relieved Of his sea command and
made First Sea Lord, Sir Cecil became
Second Sea Lord and in that capacity
he has worked out many plans for
improving the efficiency of the naval
forces upon which Great Britain now
depends SO largely to save the popu-
1ation from starvation.
Admiral Burney has spent forty-siX
years in the navy, entering the ser
vice when he was a mere boy. He
first smelled powder in real battle
during the Egyptian campaign of the
early sos. He fought /on both sea
the fanatical dervishes of the desert,
and accompanied an expedition into
the interior to mete out punishment
to son-e Of the savage trtbesmen. He
was rewarded for his gallantry in that
war with the rank of lieutenant, and
since then he has steadily climbed
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-03-05

the ladder of naval promotion to the
position of an admiral
Sir John Jellicoe was highly desir-
Gus Of having Admiral Burney as mis-
chief aid because of Sir CeciPs great
knowledge of submarines. For years
he has specialized on undersea boats
and what he doesn't know about
them is said to be scarcely worth not
ing. It is believed that he has been
the deciding factor in all the recent
considerations Of ways and means for
combating the U boats with which
Germany hopes to starve England
into submission. The British people
have a great deal of confidence in
Admiral Burney's ability to check
mate the Kaiser at the submarine
game.
