Papier Mache "Brue."

Shades of Ulysses and his wooden
horse! The Germans have gone that
warrior one better. This newest
weapon in camoufaging is a papier
mache horse.
Not long ago many soldiers of the
allies were being shot. 1t puzzled the
men quite while, as there seemed
to be no places near at hand where
German soldiers might be concealed.
An officer finally put on yellow
glasses, for smokeless powder be-

Not far distant was a horse in which
a soldier had concealed himself and
the horse was of papier mache.

SMALL CROWD REUSED
DISGUST OF SUNDAY
SMALLEST IN THE CAREER OF
THE EVANGELIST, AND HE
THREATENED TO QUIT JOB.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Three hundred
and ninety-eight persons slid down
to the tabernacle Tuesday afternoon
and heard Billy Sunday threaten to
close up the tabernacle and go out
to Camp Gordon and preach where
he'd be appreciated.
And when we say three hundred
and ninety-eight, we mean 1913, and
not 399 or 400. That's the official
count, one by one, and it includes
seven soldiers, three women and two
children who came in when Billy was
half through preaching; an old Grip
pied man, with a house slipper on
one foot, who sat on the front row
and applauded everything Billy said,
and blind man, with black glasses
on, who sat on the end of bench
over near one of the stoves.
Don't Like Small Crowds.
Billy doesn't like to preach to small
crowds, and besides he isn't used to
it, he says. That crowd Tuesday af-
ternoon was the smallest crowd he's
faced in fifteen years, according to
his own statement, and he can't see
any reason why a little snow and
little sleet should keep the people
away from tabernacle that's as
warm inside as any home in Atlanta.
He doesn't know whether Atlanta
people have cold feet or cold hearts,
but if they don't thaw out enough to
come down and fill some of those va
cant benches at the tabernacle, Bill
Tvs going to shut up the whole place
and spend the remainder of his time

He laid down the ultimatum Tues

matum, but it sounded like one,
Here's what he said

came to Georgia that people down
here wouldn't stick their noses out

This is the smallest crowd I've

Astrology reads this as an unpropitious
day. Neptune. Jupiter and Uranus are
all in evil place.
1t Is a time in which to guard against
fraud and deception. Schemers of all
sorts are supposed to be unusually con-
vincing under this rule of Neptune.
1t Is read as an exceedingly un-
favorable sway under which to enter
into new partnerships or associations.
Jupiter gives warning that all CONNER
cial transactions have a forbidding as
pect Bankers and fnanciers are in dan
ger of serious losses. and they are also
subject to a lessening OF public conf
dence while this configuration prevails.
There is sinister sign for diplomacy.
A serious oversight or mistake may cause
embarrassment at Washington.
Uranus is in a place believed to dis
tort judgment and to encourage hasty
decisions. Persons in high place are
supposed to be peculiarly susceptible to
the sway.
1t is not an auspicious rule under which
to make changes or to travel.
Extra danger from explosives and from
electrically propelled vehicles is suppos-
ed to be likely while the sway continues.
Gossip and scandal will reach the high
water mark in the next few months. il
is predicted and then a movement to re-
strain speech will interest the country.
The slogan. America for Americans. u
which will be much heard during the
spring, may cause grave danger. the
seers declare, and they even foresee a
tragedy
Women continue under a government
of the stars making for sensational events
and increase of prominence In public
affairs
Radical reforms, which will be advo-
Gated by women, will arouse public
opinion and divorce sympathy next month
when an incident Of far-reaching sig
nihcance will startle the country.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is may ex-
pect year of anxiety. They should
not speculate or risk any money.
Children born on this day may be in
clined toward great extravaganza. These
subjects OF Pisces are likely to be ideal
