bility of protecting the reserve soldiers
by vaccination. In January, 1910,
there were, roughly, $4,000 cases. In
December, 1916, there were but 325.
The difference between these hgures
represents another demonstration OF the
value Of anti typhoid vaccination. In
view of such evidence. it is strange that
any intelligent American citizen re-
mains unvaccinated, for the preventive
measure will work even better for
civilian than it does for a soldier.
The health of the French civil popu-
lation has also been far bette IN the
last year than it was in the first. In
1915, the contagious disease rate OF the
non military population was 70 per
1000 peoples, in 1915 it was but A.
It is an inspiring thing to see and
hear a man who has gone through what
Major Rist has and to see how calm,
sure, ana painstaking he is. There is
no hysteria nor excitement manifest.
Instead. he impresses one with the need
and the efficiency Of scientific method
in the control of disease and hence in
maintaining the fighting man power.
While, as he says, with the Germans
streaming toward Paris, it was necess-
airy to neglect practically every health
precaution in the first few days, as soon
as the immediate emergency passed no
amount of attention was too great to
give and no detail so unimportant as to
permit neglect.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Forty mem

American destroyers captured sub

hands in surrender after they had been
forced to the surface by crippled rud-

showing their surrender, they treach-

AIRPLANES AID WAR TANKS
Flyers Hit Foe From Behind as Land
Ships Attack Them in Front
at Cambria.

Paris, Nov. 27-The use on both
a feature Of the recent fighting in the
Cambria sector. The Germans tried
to repulse the advancing tanks by
dropping bombs on them from low
altitude, but they were not successful
They were less of n failure in attack
ing the British airp!anes which went
daringIy into the lines fifty feet or less
from the ground through the mist
under extremely low clouds.
The Germans who were sometimes
above the clouds, rarely broke through.
They did not take the same risks as
the British and consequently accom-

Some Of the accounts Of airmen fir

German infantry and artillery Indicate
they worked in cooperation with the
tanks. While the tanks craWled slowly
on the earth the airplaRes accompany
ing them made large circles overhead
and darted back and forth from one
tank to another, raining bullets on the

attacking directly with cannon.
One German "piIlbOx" or machine
gun emplacement is said to have been
abandoned when 1t was bombed from
a low altitude by a British machine
which a moment later was shot down
by German guns. Both the pilot and
the gunner escaped unhurt and took
refuge in the ''pillbox," which they had

BOMB KILLS 10
At MILWAUKEE,
Nine Officers and Woman Killed
in Police Station.
SIX SUSPECTS ARE ARRESTED
Criminals Responsible for Deaths Be-
Iieved to Be Members of Band OF
italian Anarchists With
lconoclastic Ideas.

Milwaukee, Nov. 26.-That the bomD
which killed ten persons, injured two
and wrecked the central police station
here Saturday night may have been
manufactured by experts in Chicago
is the theory that now holds the atten-
ton of the authorities who have the
investigation in charge.
This theory, the plan of offering OF
substantial rewards by the city ana
state for the arrest of the criminals
responsible for the explosion and the
detention of half a dozen Italians were
the outstanding developments in
crime that has stirred the community
as it has not been aroused in half
century.
In addition citizens have already
started pouring in subscriptions Tor
the families of the police officers and
the woman who met death when the
bomb exploded.
Bomb Found in Church.
The bomb was found in Rev. Gull
liani's church by Miss Maude Richter,
church organist. She sent an italian
boy, Tony Massone, with it to the Cen
trail station and handed it to Station
Keeper Deckert. The station keeper
carried it into the squad room, where
detectives and police coming on or just
going off duty were assembled. A mo-
ment later there was a flash and a
roar. Buildings rocked for blocks
around. The smoke cleared. Where
| detectives and the station keeper had
stood was a mass of Wreckage and
fragments of human bodies.
Gov. e. L. Phillip and Aldermen
William l. Greene and Louis Weiss
were authority for the statement that
substantial rewards would be offered
by the city and the state.
List of Dead.
The list of dead follows:
Frank NJ. Caswin, detective; Henry
Deckert, station keeper; Fred w. Kai-
ser, detective; David O'Brien, detec-
tive; Stephen H. Stecker, detective
Edward Spindler, switchboard opera
tor; Albert Templin, detective; Paul
Weller, detective; Miss Catherine
Walker, an employee of the Pietsch
dye works, in station to make com
plant; Charles Zehauer, detective.
It is the belief of Chief Jansen that

archists with iconoclastic ideas who

Map Has coIored Roads.

South Carolina Is one Of the states
which have marked the poles and sign
boards along the main roads by col
ored bands indicating the various
routes of which the roads form parts.
There are nine of these through
routes In all, crossing the state In
every direction. In order to make It
as easy as possible for the traveller
to follow any of them, the state COM
missioner of agriculture, commerce
and industries has issued a map of
South Carolina In which the routes
r indicated by the same colors used
in the wayside marking. This Is car
rying the idea of marking roads of
maximum convenience further than
has been done by many other states,
and is particularly interesting because
South Carolina has no state highway

Dying VILLAGES.

1t is the American village that
most betrays the impulse of our
civilization-a civilization that perpet-
ually overreaches itself only to be
obliged to surrender again and again
to nature everything it has gained.
How many thousands of villages, frost
bitten, palsied, full of the morbid,
bloodless Observation-Disclosures that
have lost, if they ever possessed, the
secret Of self-perpetuation, lie scat
tered across the CONTINENT Even in
California | used to find them on long
~cross-country walks, villages often
enough not half a century old, but In
a state of essential decay. Communi-
ties that have come into being on the
flood tide of an enterprise too rapidly
worked out, they all signify some lost
cause of a material kind that has left
high and dry-like the neutral area

Bicycle Balancer.

An apparatus has been invented by
Eugene Tourtier of Paris, France,
which gives bicycles, motorcycles
and every other similar vehicle a ver-
teal equilibrium regardless of whether
or not the road is level. 1t Is merely
necessary to support the machine in an
upright position by operating a lever
attached to the handlebar, according to
the Popular Science Monthly.
The lever can be operated while the
bicycle Is moving, making Ii possible
for a rider to remain In his seat as
the wheel comes to a stop and to start
again without dismounting. The steel
rod supports are strong enough to sus-
tain a combined weight of 800 pounds.
Bicycles fitted with the balancer have
been used by the Swiss police for some
time.

LIKED BIBLE GUY"
MAN WHO CARRIED THE WORD
POPULAR WITH SOLDIERS.
Boys in Blue Stationed Along the Rio
Grande Unanimously of Opinion
That Visitor Was Strictly
All Right.

1t was pretty close to taps when a
small car pulled up to the little border
station on the Rio Grande, satisfied the
sentry and came inside the earthworks
fertilization. Its driver, a tall, ruddy-
checked young man, who looked as
though he might be fresh out of col
lege, brought the mail-he'd succeeded
in crossing a swollen creek in his car
when the Mexican mail man didn't
care to try 1t, and he brought also a
carload of Bibles.
The soldiers in the border station
called him "the Bible guy" and the
opinion was expressed more than nee
that "the Bible guy was all right"
There are a number of him on the
Mexican border. They are representa-
lives of the American Bible society,
and their business is giving away
Bibles and Testaments to the soldiers
who are doing border patrol duty. This
particular one had come east from Ell
PasO, a matter of 450 miles, and did
not expect TO stop until he reached the
Gulf. He found a considerable demand
for his little olive-drab-bound Tesla
ments and Bibles, as well as real
friendliness for himself.
He was a modest young a but he
admitted that a good many interesting
things happened to a fellow who car
ried the Word along the border. Some
times one miscalculated or found the
roads worse than he expected and had
to camp out overnight-he carried a
few provisions and a skillet always to
be prepared for that emergency. And.
of course, One did have TO know how
to pull an automobile out of a mud
hole by one-man power and quite a
lot more outdoor things.

someone asked him.
The Bible guy laughed as though
that were the best joke in the world.
mo, indeed" he said. "Why should
they bother me? Besides, you know,
I'm prepared for Mexicans as well as
soldiers. l carry copies Of the Bible In
Spanish and find a lot of people who
are glad to get them. And now-if
you'll excuse me-I've got a lot to do
to this car"
Whereupon the Bible guy, clad In
brown overalls, disappeared under the
m~ud-crusted machine. II shows how
good a Christian he really is that In
the half-hour he stayed there nobody
heard him swear.-Kansas City Star.
