forces as those which preceded the
other famous retreat to the linden

Meanwhile the greatest interest
outside OF it's own fighting front was
centered here on the great success
which is attending the Italian drive
toward Trieste. Unofficial dispatch

LoNELIEST SPOT ON EARTH

loneliest spot on earth. AS a matter
of fact, st. Helena is 1,400 miles near

SLEEP AS THEY MARCH ALONG
Soldiers and Horses In Civil War
slumber a. They Tramp
Along Road.

Soldiers remember how they and
their horses used to sleep as they
marched along, Erasmus Wilson
writes In the Pittsburgh Gazette
Times. Strange as 1t may seem this
was often the case. There seemed to
be no trouble In performing the me-
chanical part of walking, but there
. wss tendency to wander QffsthA road.
For this reason sleepers had to be
guided or led by someone who was
awake.
|. The time Kirby Smith chased Cen
eral Nelson md Ms men from Lexirfg-
ton, KY, to Louisville, he didn't allow
them a moment for rest pnd' what
sleep they got was snatched as they
marched. The men were mostly
new to the business, but even the old
fellows had to succumb about the third
night. At times 1t seemed that the
whole line was asleep, but It moved
right along.
When General Jackson and his cav
airy Joined the retreating forces his
men were nearly all asleep in the sad
die, and not few of the horses were
snoozing as they went leisurely to the
front. They seldom stumbled on a
smooth road, but If there happened to
be halt they would go head foremost
into the crowd, and waken up scared
and confused. -
AS soon as the first rays Of dawn
began streaking the horizon. the
sleepy, tired feeling that possessed the
weary walkers would begin to disap-
pear, and by the time the dawn had
faded into day the men were stepping
out quicker and stronger, the horses
holding their heads up and all hands
looking out for something to eat. The
effect was magical.

GERMAN SPY
ORGANIZATION
is UNEARTHED
Roundup to Follow Revelations
Made by Chief on Pacific
Coast.

San Francisco, May 14.-Vigorous
action for the overthrow of the Ger
man secret service in America and
the arrest of ringleaders and subord-
mates throughout the country was
begun today by the federal authori-
ties acting on information they said
had been furnished by Rudolph Flam-
indinghe, alleged German master spy
on the Pacific coast. Flamindinghe,
under arrest in Los Angeles. is said
to have given the government agents
information which, it is believed, will
result in the immediate roundup Of
virtually every German secret serv-
ice operative in the United States.
According to federal authorities.
the United States has been divided
into ten districts with a chief and
subordinates operating in each di-
vision. Afraid to communicate by
mail or telegraph, members OF the
alleged spy ring have developed an
elaborate system of codes which are
carried by messengers from one dis
trict to another.
After grilling Frank Wolf, alias
Frank Fels, deserter from the
United States aviation corps at San
Diego. under arrest here as spy
suspect, the authorities declared that
Wolf had been employed by Flamin-
dinghe. Orders were received from
Washington today to hold Wolf in
solitary confinement.
Practically all of the important
members of the spy organization are
under surveillance and simultaneous
arrests are expected to follow their
exposure by Flamindinghe's reported
confession.

The question OF an armistise has

Cats and Dogs.

II any man knows why there should
be tax on dogs and none on cats, let
him step forward and explain. Cats
spread disease thousand times worse
than dogs. Cats climb trees and catch
birds, while even bird dog will do no
worse than point toward them. Cats
bite as often as dogs and they scratch
u great deal more frequently. A black
cat crossing your path is bad luck, and
you never give black dog a second
thought. There is no reason why dogs
should be Disseminated against. If
there is to be law imposing tax on
dogs, there should be an amendment
that win include cats from the time
their eyes are open until they give up
the last of their nine lives.-Columbus

Stew Fruit for Children.

For some children it is still safer
to stew the fruit, dlscardlng the skins
entirely. Every mother must watch her
own child in this particular. In stew
ing these fruits, owing to the large
quantity of natural sugar present,
other sugar need not be added. Slow
cooking and u little lemon or orange
rind or juice will bring out the flavor.
Figs and raisins stewed together are
especially recommended.
