Red Cross Has No Guardian of

ALLEWATING THE SUFFERINGS OF WAR
ASSOCIATED Press)

Baltimore, June 27.-To offset the
malicious rumor circulated that the
American Red Cross Society is dis
eliminating against the nursing sis
tcrhoods of the Catholic church, Car
dinal Gibbons took the matter up
with the Red Cross. In a pointed let
ter to the cardinal, Eliot Wadsworth,
acting chairman of the Red Cross,
said there was no discrimination, that
said sisterhoods were allowed to wear
their particular garb during the Span
ish-American war and quoted a Red
Cross rule showing that the aid OF
the sisterhoods was desired.

CAR TOOK A BANK ROLL

Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Faust were
taking a trip through Georgia this
week in their Maxwell car, when the
car skidded off slick clay road on a
rainy day and rolled down the en-
bankment which was at least twenty
feet high. Strange TO say, neither
Mr.. or Mrs. Faust were injured at all,
other than few slight bruises. Mr..
Faust remained to make the minor
repairs on the car, it not being very

Memorandum of Information
Officers Training Camps, August 27,
November 26, 1917.
/. General Plant: To provide of
ficers for the drafted forces of the
national army, the war department
has adopted the policy of commission
ing all new officers of the line Tin,
fantry, cavalry, field and coast artil-
lery) purely on the basis of demon
strated ability after three months
observation and training in the Off
GERS training camps. Thus, the ap-
Ipointment of officers of the new arm
les will be made entirely on merit and
| free from all personal or other in
fiuences.
AS an emergency to provide Off
GERS for the first 100000 drafted
troops the war department has put ir
Operation sixteen officers training
camps with a total attendance OF
about 100000 These sixteen camps
correspond to the territorial divisions
in which it is planned to raise troops
underthe draft act of May 18, 1917
These camps, which began May Is
1917, are expected to provide line of
fcers we'll qualified as to character
and training and sufficient for the
first increment of 100000, with a re
serve for that increment.
Following the policy of commission
ing officers on demonstrated worth, il
is intended that, after the first in
lcrement of 100000 has been organic
led, officers will be appointed by pro
noting officers and men already in th'
Irregular army, National Guard, anC
drafted forces, thus giving to those
who have volunteered or have beer
drafted for military service full op
Iportunity to earn promotion to th'
Iexclusion of those not in actual mill

The period devoted to the organiza

Success of British Operations in this Sector
Seems to be Certain
FRENCH WILL PROBABLY RESUME OFFENSIVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE ADVANTAGE IN GREECE
WILL BE PUSHED BY THE ALLIES

While General Haig is closing in so
closely upon Lens that the capture
by the British of this important CEN
ter and it's adjacent coal fields seems
imminent, there is a question Of
whether the British operations will
be accompanied by French offensive
movement on like scale. While Gen.
Haig and Gen. Petain, the French
commander, have been jockeying for
positions along the Aisne and Cham
pagne fronts, particularly on the for
mer, it seems like German activities
are efforts to choke off any possible
general movement by the French. Gen.
Petain's occasional strokes give the
impression he is merely trying to pre-
serve vantage points with the idea of
resuming the offensive at some future
time.
Evidently the Allies intend to have
convocated the Greek parliament of
May 10, 1915, which was controlled
by the Venezelists having majority
favorable to the Entente.

Saving Cars Auroehs.

Kartsoff, former master of the hunt
for Emperor Nicholas, who now ad-
ministers the formerly imperial do
mains at Gatchlna, the residence of
the Dowager Empress Marie, has taken
measures to prevent the destruction Of
seven surviving aurochs, the only Eu-
ropean bison now known with certain
ty to exist in Russia. Until lately n
large herd was maintained In Nicholas
vast forest at Bieloviesh, White Rus
sla, ten from which were sent to
Gatchina before the war. When the
Germans occupied Blelovlesh they
killed and canned hundreds Of aurochs.
1t Is not known If any survive at Bic
loviesh, but before the killing two
were presented to the Stockholm Skan-
sen park. After the revolution, the
Gatchina pOpulace organized an au-
rochs' hunt, considering the beasts
'imperial' and therefore fair game.
They killed three. NJ. KartsOn's meas
ures aim at preserving the remainder.

GOLF LINKS AS A LAW COURT
Some Important Gases Have Been Set
tied Far From the Recognized
Halls of Justice.

The late Sir Thomas Buclnill, when
vacation Judge, once granted an in
junction on the golf links while actual
ly playing round, relates Answers.
On another occasion he granted an
INDUCTION while out shooting. On the
case coming into court counsel said:
"Your lordship may recall the case"
Indeed l do" replied the judge, be
cause 1 nearly killed a pheasant, bar
rister and solicitor with one shot"
Quite lately one judge tried a motor
accident case on the very spot on
which 1t had occurred, and a few years
ago case concerning ancient lights"
was decided under a tree in a heavy
storm.
Not long since a chancery Judge
heard an application In the waiting
rooms Of a railway station.
A woman charged with stealing was
tried by a magistrate in the streets of
HOole, and It viii be remembered that
the late lord chief Justice emulated
Sir Thomas Buclinill by deciding
question in the Crlppen case on the
golf links.
And, doubtless, other judges would
welcome the opportunity to do their
work far from the stuffy courts.

countinu Up to nBoomfit."

A reader who was interested in the
Indian counting" that the Companion
told about on this page some months
ago, has found In the London Chroni-
Gle something about a similar sort of
counting that was long in use in n
retired part Of England. The Chron-
icle says:
The elder generation of farmers in
one Of our northern dales used a
strange set Of numerals, especially
when counting sheep. They made a
gap In the wall just wide enough to
admit one sheep at time and as the
sheep went through they counted
them, making a notch in a stick at
every fifteen.
Phonetically the numerals sound
Ike "Yann, tame, tether, neither, pip,
sax. sane, caterer wheeler. dick,
yann-er-dick. tane-er-dlck tether-er-
dick, mether-er-dlcll. boomft."
'Boomht' was fifteen; when they
reached It they made a notch in the
stick and began the strange chant all
over again.-Touth's Companion.

TAKE CHANCES ON SUCCESS
Crews of American Whaling Ships
Work on a Basis of Cooperation,
and Profits Are Divided.

The business principles of American
whaling are often mentioned as an ex-
cellent example of Industrial cO-opera-
tion. A ship is stocked and equipped
by the owners. and the profits of the
cruise are distributed in the ratio of
two-thirds to the capital invested and
one-third to labor. No member of the
crew receives wages or n guarantee of
any sort, but TO each Is allotted a GER
tain share, termed the lay" of the
net results. In general, the captains
lay ranges from a fifteenth to an
eighth, according to mis- whaling rec
ord. The mate and three lower OIL
GERS, the four bOat-steerers or har-
pooners, the cooper, steward, cook,
carpenter, seamen and green hands re
ceive proportlonate shares, and so
down to the cabin boy, whose lay is In
the neighborhoOd of one two-hun-
dredth, called the ''long lay" Thus
the profit of each individual depends
upon the success Of the cruise. Ships
have sometimes failed to pay for their
fitting out; on the other hand, the On
ward of New Bedford once returned

is that, if one throws a live snake into

This idea probably arose from the
