PAYING THE PIPER


NA
"They fight and you pay" is the title to a car
toon depicting Uncle Sam talking to a man at his
desk and pointing to the battle lines in the dis
lance.
With wheat going way above the So a bushel
already, with a slack winter crop, and a multitude
Of other necessities seeming to be members of the
aero corps, it looks as though the man that stays
out of the army is paying for the dance.
There isn't the slightest doubt that the stu
alton is shaping it self exactly as it did in Europe.
We will have high prices and then in response to

WoMEN's RESPONSE
AAAA
The celebrity with which American womanhood
has responded to the call Of war and has Joined
numerous organizations having for their aim the
alienation of suffering, including the Red Cross,
s a wonderful indication of patriotism.
American women are acting quickly. They
have found another good cause to espouse and are
.ackling the task with energy and efficiency.
Their actions will be an ever-present encour-
agement to the men who must 60 forth to fight
the battle of civilization.
AAAAAA
EXIT PACIFISTS
The state of war in which the United States
finds itself is the end Of pacifism for the present.
The men and women who spoke for peace at any
price made q staunch stand for their principles.
h, AT heart we are all for peace at q big price
and when the banquet table Of the victors mater
ializes, it will be well for our p~acifists to join with
the rest Of us and insist that the kind Of peace w
bring about is a genuine and lasting peace.

FRENCH STEAMER SINKS
U-BOAT

New York, Feb. 19.-In a running
duel at sea between the French line
freighter Guayne and a German sub
marine, the U-boat was sunk, officers
and crew reported today on their ar
rival here from Bordeaux.
The submarine, they declared, fired
three ineffective shots at the ship and
went down when the second shell
from the 65-millimeter gun on the
Guayne struck her squarely.

u. S. DEMANDS RELEASE OF
YARROWDALE PRISONERS

YARROWDALE.. PRISONERS
Washington, Feb. 19. - Peremp-
tory demand for release of the Y
American YarrowdaIe prisoners, now
held in Germany, has been sent to
the imperial government, the state
department announced today,
The department announced the
demand had been sent Saturday.
Sec'y Lansing, in making an
nouncement that the demand was
dispatched secretly Saturday, added
that late yesterday evening the de-
partment received word from Berlin,
presumably through the Spanish am
bassador, that the prisoners would
be released shortly"
It is not believed this COmmunica-
ton of Sunday evening is a reply to
this governments demand sent Sat-
urday.
This demand, it was made clear,
was Just short of an Ultimatum, re-
cited the attitude, policy and steps
taken regarding Germans, German
property and German ships inteTned
here and pointed out clearly Pres.
Wilson's policy to take no step that
could be construed as having been
taken for military exigency."

PAT FOUND WAY TO KEEP IT
Resorted to Simple Device to Keep
Companion From Spending His
Own Money.

A Scotchman and an Irishman once
set out together on holiday. The lat
ter was a steady, frugal man, the for
mer was careless and spendthrift.
Conscious Of his own weakness
Sandy entrusted all his money to his
friends charge, with a strict injunc-
ton not to give him back more than q
stated sum for expenses each day.
After a few days Sandy thought his
daily allowance inadequate for his de-
mands and pleaded for an increase,
but in vain.
Holidays over, the Scotchman In
formed Pat that, after the latter's re-
fusal to comply with his wish, he got
out Of bed every night, when he found
the Irishman asleep, and made On ex-
tensIve search to find the cash, but
could never succeed, and inquired or
him where he kept 1t.
"Well," said Pat, 81 allowed you to
20 to bed first every night, and as we
occupied the same room, l had no diff
fculty in putting my purse, unob-
served, into one of your pockets. was

Crows Holding Their Own.

There has been hostility between the
farmers and the crows ever since there
were farmers in New England, but the
number of crows, so far as anyone
knows, has not decreased. They are
efficient, they are able to care for
themselves and are likely to hold their
own, no matter how much the popula-
ton may increase. More than that,
despite the severity of winter, each
crow looks sleek and well-fed, perfect
" at home and contented with Its sur
roundlngs. The English sparrows and
the starlings may seek shelter during
severe weather, but, no matter how
cold or stormy 1t may be, one hnds
the crow doing business as usual. Ii
the quail and ruffed grouse were as
hardy and intelligent and possessed
with an equally catholic taste for food,
a whole volume of game laws might
be done away with.

First to Adopt conscrip.ion.

Switzerland was the first European
country to adopt universal military
service. The original founders Of the
Swiss confederation enacted that who
ever shlrked military training was de-
clared devoid Of honor and perjured,"
and his house was vowed to destruc-
ton.
Should a man summoned to take
part in a military expedition prove I'M
able to respond, owing to illness or
some other valid reason, he had to fur
nish a capable substitute at his own
expense.
From the earliest days Of the confed-
Grafton, too, the military authorities
made special provisions for tending
the wounded.

SINGING CALLED LOST ART
l. Is Now Confined Chiefly to Profess
sIonaIs, prunkards and Phono-
graphs, Says Writer.

SINGING. as far as most people are
>onceTned. IS a lost art. Thousands
attend operas, recitals and musicai
comedies, tens Of thousands VINO up
monographs; but as for singing them
solves informally at their work or play
thew have forgotten how. In times
mast people Of all ranks sang togetheI
as a matter Of course. Sailors sang a.
their work, peasants, shepherds cow
hovs-sn had their favorite and APP
nropriate songs. The songs OF chl-
dren at games, the lullabies OF moth,
ers are in the collected ballads ana
folklore of many peoples, says the ln'
dianapolis News.
"Tbe pastimes and the labors OF the
hnshandman and the shepherd" says
Andrew Lang, were long ago a KIND
of natural opera. Each task had It's
own song; blowing, seeding harvest
burial-all had their appropriate PAL
lads or dirges. The whole soul OF the
peasant class breathes In their Dur
dens as the great sea resounds Id the
shell cast up on the shore"
Nowadays the whirl OF machinery
makes all the noise. The workers IN
mills might find 1t unsatisfying TO sing
at their work, but it is doubtful II they
would sing even If their voices could
be heard; while singing In an office OF
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the BOSS" or the police. Thou-
sands congregate every night IN the
silence of moving picture theaters' ana
even in the churches where singing by
the congregation used to be customary
the attendants now usually listen In
silence to paid singer.
Singing in this age is largely con-
fined to the professional performer
drunken men and gramophoncs.

 Drafted men failing to report now will be promptly advertised as de 'serters and reward of $50 offered for their apprehension.

The purest irish blood is not to ba found in Galway proper, for the town was long held by the English, and cen tUries ago if did an immense trade with Spain that resulted in mixed mar riages. producing sundry heads of black hair and black eyes. But across the little river, by the bay, is fishers colony where the oldest Irish blood is still pure. This little group have mar 2ted strictly among themselves, and their stock is said to go back to IriSb natives who even antedareu the Irish CeltS.

The season being over, no- body paid any attention to the score, but much to the batting. The attend a1ce was small, but this waB no cris terion of the interest felt in the big series. It ia intense.
 The recent announcement of those who have brokers at work between the box office and the ultimate con gumer8 that they would have plenty of tickets for all at ultra profitecring prices, went into eclipse JnrlnR the day but their prices soarcd. The brok- CTS paid back thousands of dollars in deposits. and it was learned definitely that none of them had more than T dozen of the three game tickets Tor sale. The price of box seats accord inply scared to S75 and reserve seats were quoted at $35 for three games.
 The lines at thefour ticket offices at the ball park began forming at z o'clock this morning and the pro"ep- aion continued until all of the lo.ooo reserved seats tickets had been given out.
 In the matter of betting, the locals bookars talked loudly 6 to , on the Comiskey men and New York adher- cnts talked the same odds as to their men, but what actual betting could be located was at even money. There were many freak bets involving small sums, ranging from 10 to 1 that neither club would take four straight games to 2 to 1, that Collins would outbat IIcrzog
