WHEN YOU ARE
SMOKING THINK OF
BOYS IN FRANCE
Muddy, Wet, Low-Spirited
Sometimes They Need To-
bacco to Cheer Them

The winter evenings are near at
hand, when the heads of families will
arrive at home after a long days
work. Their tired wives will have
steaming dinner ready for them, and
after the meal,-they will put their
feet up on some object higher than
their heads and enjoy the after-dinner
smoke.
In contrast picture the soldier who
has been living in the trenches where
the earth is always wet and the air
is cold and damp, and even the water
doesn't taste like the water did at
home. He will have meal at night,
but 1t won't be the good old home
cooking like mothers. Suppose after
he finished the wholesome but not too
elaborate meal that he must remain
on duty without even the solace of a
smoke. He can see nothing but the
dismal trench. What must his state
of mind be?
But the soldier must not be allowed
to get down in the mouth; he must
be kept cheerful and as comfortable
as possible. Those who are left at
home must provide the silver lining
for the soldier. and the Telegraph
believes that by giving the soldier
the smokes. that he will be better
lighting man and therefore a better
protector of the country. Remember
that twenty-five cents sent or handed
to the smoke man will give pleasure
to the boy in khaki for a week.
Those who sent the remembrance
to the soldiers yesterday are:

Tribute to 4 Doa,

To the mind of the true dog lover
there are few human passions not
shared in by the dog. The dog is sub
ject to anger, jealousy, hatred, envy.
love and grief. and it shows gratitude.
pride. courage, generosity and fear. It
sympathizes with its master In his
troubles, and there are numerous cases
on record where dogs have rendered
the most valuable kind Of service at
great risk to their own safety and COM
fort. The dog has an excellent mem-
ory, it is capable Of associating ideas.
and its judgment is often singularly
correct. These are the qualifications
which raise the dog above all other
animals and fit him for the cOmp0n-
ionship of man. 1t has the physical
and intellectual faculties that never
fail to arouse our love and admiration.
Pet and companion Of old folks, guar
dian and playmate Of children, friend
and servant of man, behold the dog!
Long live this noble animal! William

The Killed Exzone.

The Greek soldier may present to
some highly humorous picture in his
ballet skirts and tunic. Despite his
peculiarities of dress-which. by the
way, are scarcely more peculiar than
those OF some. other nations-he IL an
excellent fighting man.
The evzOne. as he is called, would no
more abandon the skirt than would q
Scot his kilt. It is part Of his ma
tional honor. part OF his personal be-
ing. It is a right handed down to
him from ancient times. A bas relief
of the soldier who fought at Marathon
shows him in similar costume. His
costume Is no ephemeral piece Of cloth
ing, for 1t Is worn with the dignity Of
ages behind it. The evzones are fg-
norant of fear. and If they look any
thing but soldierly their appearance is
belied BY their ability to fight under
extraordinary conditions. Syracuse

TO BUILD AUTOMOBILE

Will Connect Shanghai With Woosuns.
Deep Water Port.

Arrangements have been made for the
construction of road from Shanghai
: to Woosung, the deep water port at the
point where the Hwangpu discharges
into the Yangtze.
AS all vessels beyond certain draft
with cargo for Shanghai have to dis
charge at Woosung, convenient connec-
tons between the two are important
A railroad has been in operation for
twenty years, but road passable for
motor vehicles has been lacking.
The distance is between ten and four
teen miles, according to the route Sc
lected. By the arrangement now made
the Hwangpu conservancy board, which
is in charge of the maintenance of
navigation on the river and receives
the proceeds of customs and surtax
levied for that purpose. is to loan from
its funds TO the public works Office Of
Shanghai the sum of $4,000 Mexican
t$23,632 United States currency, re-
payable in forty annual installments
without interest. The remainder OF the
total cost OF the work, estimated at
100000 Mexican, is to be horne by the
conservancy board itself
1t is understood that immediate ac-
ton on the project has been delayed by
an investigation to assure officials that
the proposed work will not impair the
embankment Of the Hwangpu.
The construction of the road will pro-
vide an important addition to the very
small number Of highways in China
outside the cities which are available
for motor vehicles. The number. how
ever. is slowly increasing.
A concession by an American COM
pany for road in the environs of
Peking was obtained recently, and

struction of road from Dairen. in the

leased by Japan. to the summer resort
! at HoshigaGra or Star Beach. An ap-
propriat ation Of 100000 yen 1888 800, has
been made for the purpose by the local
administration The road will be
forty eight feet wide and be reserved
for rubber tired vehicles.

These volumes are worth not merely
their weight in gold, but their weight
