MISS DID HER SWEET BEST
Dainty Maiden Interfered With Coal
Wagon But Failed in Effort to
Induce Team to Bulge

Irish profanity is not green. Ere
quently it is blue. 1t was recently-on
State street, above Main. muses. the
Springfield Republican. This cloud of
sulphurous rhetoric rose from the driv-
er's seat of an overloaded coal wagon.
Three possibly they belonged
to the uniOn-went on strike. And the
Irish driver, armed with a whip, tried
to break the strike. And the horses
tapped their ears, swished their tails
and twisted their neeks to blink at
him. A wisp Of thin, blue smoke
spouted from his clay pipe to mingle
with the fires of his wrath. The lash
Of his whip smacked the brass-studded
harness. and a crowd On the sidewalk
howled:
'Mush va bogger mush :" yelled
voice.
"Veer out the tiller lines and nail
'em on the bottom" laughed a sec
ond.
And still the horses blinked, Michael
rose to new heights Of novelty, and the
coal cart sagged.
A young girl tripped down the street
in a loud coat, shouldered through the
crowd and stared, with a gasp of hor-
ror pursuing her delicate lips. Then
her eyes narrowed, and she stepped
out into the gutter.
You stop beating those horses" she
shriAed, "or I'll have you arrested :"
Michael glowered at her, and smiled.
"Sure, and maybe you kin get thin go
in" he suggested.
"Of course I can" she tossed her
head, and climbed up on the grimy
load of coal.
She grasped the ponderous reins in
her tiny hands, stiffened her back and
scorned the whip with an acid smile.
Come, darlings." she cooed. ''be nice
and pull this little load right up the
hill" The sidewalk audience hooted.
She did her sweet best. And the off
horse stretched an elastic neck to see
what manner of malady the gods had
inflicted upon him now. The middle
horse tapped his ears again; the nigh
horse switched his tail. Then all three
sighed with resignation and - didn't
bulge. Finally a motor truck came
along and yanked the cart to the top.

JERUSALEM NOW IN
HANDS OF BR|TONS
CHRISTIANS REGAIN HOLY CITY
AFTER 673 YEARS OF TURK
lSH MlSRULE.
Capture Means Safety of Suez Canal
and Egypt, and Destroys Prestige
of Germany Among the
MosIems.

London.-Jerusalem, the Holy City
which for 673 years has been in un
disputed possession of the Turks, has
surrendered. Over the city, whose
history. mystic and terrible, dates
back to the Egyptian records of 140C
b. c., now flies the Union Jack, the
tri-color and the Italian emblem, for
General Allenby's Christian army has
entered the city where Mohammedans
have held sway for hundreds of years.
bethlehem, the cradle of Christian
ity, will also be in Christian hands
this coming Christmas.
Jerusalem, after being surrounded
on all sides, has surrendered"
A shout that Numbered a joyous
"Amen" straight from the heart of
civilized mankind, went up in the
house of commons as Bonar Law made
this announcement on Monday.
With a swiftness of execution and a
genius of generalship that equals the
greatest feats of this war from Tran
nenburg to Bagdad Allenby, "the bull"
as the army knows him. has completed
his brilliant campaign.
Great Britain and her allies hail him
as the twentieth century crusader.
Chancellor Law told the commons
that the holy places would be safe
guarded by British, French and Mo-
hammedan officials, who are now on
the way to Jerusalem
The enlightenment of the city was
effected when one portion of.Allenby's
army, advancing from the direction of
Bethlehem, attacked and drove back
the Turks and cut the railroad leading
from Jerusalem to Jericho, where
Christ spent the last night before his
crucifxion. While this operation was
under way to the east of the city, an
other part of General Allenbys force
launched a concerted attack upon the
Turkish positions to the west and
northwest of Jerusalem.
The victory is hailed by Britain as
the greatest feat Of British arms in
this war, for its consequences, both
and moral, are of transcend
ent Importance. The capture of Jeru-
salem by the allied forces mean the
safety of the Suez canal and Egypt,
and will destroy the prestige of Ger
many among the MOslems.
Apart from its connection with the
being waged against Turkey
by the British in Mesopotamia, the fall
Of Jerusalem was the definite collapse |
of the long-protracted efforts of the
Turks to capture the Suez canal and |
invade Egypt. Almost the first move /
made by Turkey after her entrance
into the war was a campaign against
peninsula.

A NATION OSTRACISED.

A German statesman is quoted as saw
ing: "The worst thing about this war is
that it will be ten years after it is over
before | can 60 to London, and twenty
years before can 60 to Paris"
The words were spoken likely, perhaps,
but they represent truth that is appar-
emily Just beginning to dawn on the more
intelligent part of the German people.
Germans, of course, will not be barred
from France or England or anywhere else
after the war. They will be free, legally,
to 60 where they like. But the moral and
social tolerance of mankind is not mat
ter of laws or treaties 1t will be many
long year before any German who is not
utterly callous to the opinion of those he
meets can visit any land with which he
has been at war without feeling a crush
ing weight of disapproval. There may
not be harsh word spoken, but the very
air of England, France, Belgium and 9TH
er allied countries will be heavy with hos
tility and condemnation.
Never has any civilized nation defied
the moral sense of mankind as Germany
has. She is paying the penalty now in
the spontaneous rising of world in arms
to put down her monstrous doctrines and
practices. Every German, wherever he
may 60 in the free and enlightened por-
tons of the earth, will pay the penalty
long hereafter in moral ostracism-Ban-

Women Knew About 1t.

We have a new word-camOuf1age
A new word but not new idea or a
new art. We have had the camouflage
girl with US for some time, says an
exchange. Camouf1age, so the diction-
airy people tell US, means painting to
deceive the eye. 1t is an art that is
being employed in the war. The tops
of submarines are being painted to
look like the ripping green sea waves.
Battle ships and cruisers are being
painted SO that their hulls will blend
with the gray sea mists. Along the
war fronts canouf1age is being used
to convey the impression to the enemy
balloon and airplane observers that
batteries are located where they are
not, also conceal the real location of
guns, ammunition cellars and strategic
troop movements. Paint is used to
deceive the eye. That is camouflage
But is it new thing under the sun?
Go to! 1t is not 50! Are we not all
distressingly familiar with the camou-
fage girl? The idea is just the same
when applied to faces, we take it, as
in the case Of the submarines and the
terrible tanks-to deceive the eye Of
the critical observer. Camouflage as
applied to ships and armored tanks
may be more or less of success, but
as applied to the ladies it doesn't fool
even the Wayfaring man.

Women Replacing Men in Banks.

There is at present no woman officer
of New York city bank, and only
one in New jersey but If the war lasts
long enough it may be, as it is in Can
ada now, that the banks will virtually
be run by women, according to an ar
ticle in the New York Evening Post.
Already, it is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States entered
the war, last April.
1t will not be decidedly new field
for women to become officers of banks,
for perhaps the majority Of bank presi-
dents in New York have women secre-
taries and assistants who thoroughly
understand the workings Of banks and
the duties Of those in high places.
