A group of Westerly. men were talk ing Tuesday of getting subscriptions for the purchase of motor ambu- lance, not for the soldiers at home or abroad, but for the benefit of emer- gency cases, in Westerly. That there is real need of an ambulance has been demonstrated almost every time there is an accident that requires hospital treatment There is no public hospi- tai in Westerly, although Mrs. Will liam Hoxsey furnished a nucleus of s1O, 900 that will be available when the fund reaches $10O. 900. Still there lance here, as a real life-saver. Ac- cidents have happened here. and the injured have died due to delay in reaching hospitals at New London, Providence or Norwich.
 Most of these cases are sent to New London and Providence, all depend ing upon the availability of train ser vice. There have been times when persons seriously injured nave been at the station waiting an hour and even longer for an east or westbound train to be taken to a hospital, and due to delay have died while on the way.
 With a modern motor driven ann bulance the service would be greatly improved as the injured could be de- livered at a hospital in New London ir less than an hour and in Provi- Gence sooner than by train, under the present circumstances. It has been suggested that twenty cents repre- senting every resident of the town of Westerly would be ample for the purchase of a high grade reliable ann bulance, and include maintenance for the first year. This could be readily raised by $1 general subscriptions, ard as one of the men who talked on the subject said: 'I don't believe there's a person in the town that has an in- come of a dollar a day but would cheerfully contribute a dollar and I know there are people in town who would gladly give ten times that amount, and more, for such a needed, and worthy purpose, and to insure it's absolute success. All that is need ed is for some of the people of in- fluence in the town to make a move. Perhaps those prominent in other worthy collections taken in the town, would be the proper persons to make the move in this purely local propo- sition."

time is chief of the German general staff. Curiously enough, outside the German frontiers he Is not considered to be a great strategist-except in the lake re- zion with which he Is So familiar. In his second (and unsuccessful Polish cam paign. Hindenburg, it is charged, need lessly sacrificed his men; and in the third he permitted the Russians to retire, week after weeks in perfect order.
 Hindenburg is in his seventieh year. He is six feet tall and of powerful frame. In common with other German generals, a conspicuous feature is his grey "mili- tary" mustache. By some observers he has been described as dignified in riage and ladylike In manners; others have called him stern, harsh, and even cruel. He is quoted as believing that the more mercilessly one makes war the more merciful he really is, for thereby he brings war to an end more quickly. He maintains that a commander in the field has no programme, except to defeat the enemy that confronts him. Since his own elevation to head the general staff, however, this veteran commander evil dently has 8 programme.
 Emperor William himself writing to Hindenburg last month, after successes in Rumania) gives us an insight into the way Germanys campaigns are planned:
 You have again conducted great oper- ations with rare prudence and you proposed to me with far seeing thoughtfulness measures which directed the way to separately marching columns for united blow. To you and your well tried assistants of the general staff the thanks of the Fatherland are again due"
 The Kaiser conferred upon Hindenburg -"the first of my generals''-the grand cross of the Iron Cross.

accuse you. for goodness knows I wouldn't make you uncomfortable for the world but the cold I've got, sir, contracted 10 long years ago, the day before yesterday; I have never men toned it. but it has never left me in all those long, weary days and hours. How can I recollect so accurately the date? Oh, very easily; women recol- lect things that spell absolutely noth
 ing to a man; they've got cause to do so. Ten years ago, one cold winter evening when I was sitting up for you, sir, until the wee sma' hours of the morning, it happened; please don't in terrupt me, sir; I don't mean to veX and worry you, Mr. Caudle, but do let me speak word. You always monopo- lize the conversation so that it's next to impossible for me to get in word edge-ways; but what I started to say was that 10 years ago one cold winter evening, when I was sitting up waiting for you I fell asleep in my chair; when I awoke, hours afterward, I found the the draft of the keyhole; that, MT. Caudle, is where I caught my death of cold; however, don't let that worry you, MT. Caudle, for perhaps you didn't mean to do it. It's just your incon- sideration, sir, when you get into a

 and too near deaths door to get up an argument with like, but think I ought to know my feelings, sir, better than you do. I'm not upbraiding you either; I'm too near gone for that; but I will say this before the last breath leaves my body; it was not going out in thin shoes that gave me this terrific cold that may result in pneumonia and death to me. On no, MT. Caudle, it was not the going out in thin shoes that's kill ing me, MT. Caudle; it's my mind. Take a little aspirin? MT. Caudle, believe you think that aspirin would cure a woman of anything, but you know can't take it; you know how I hate it and how 1t nauseates me; let me tell you now, Mir. Caudle. once and for all, aspirin can't cure what I'm suffering from, sir. But of course nobody in this house is ever allowed to be i'll but yourself. Now, Mir. Caudle, I didn't 6nJ begin to talk about thin shoes and in1- prudent dressing and why-why it makes a woman say a lot of things she doesn't mean. She Just can't help it somehow. You've always gone on about the kind of shoes I wear, from the very first moment we were mar ried, but think 1 know what becomes me, sir, and what is most comfortable, far better than you do. I dare say you'd l,e glad to see me in plowman's boots, but I'm not going to make specta- cle of my feet, sir. for you or anybody else. I've always had the reputation of having a beautiful foot and ankle. Think of woman of my size, weighing 160 pounds, wearing a No. l F shoe. Do you think I'd spoil my feet by wearing heavy shoes? Never, Mr.. Caudle; I've. some pride left.
 NO. MT. Caudle. I haven't caught cold on account of the shoes I wear, it's not that, and far be it from me to

 Its all very well for you to call it nonsense, Mir. Caudle, and all that sort of thing, and to try to lay your bad con duct on my poor little old thin shoes; that's exactly like a. man; there never was man born who killed his wife that didn't give a reason for it. No. I don't mean to say that you've killed me, Mr. Caudle; not yet; quite the reverse Still, there is never a day that l haven't felt that keyhole! Why don't have a doctor? Whats the use of doctor? Why should put you to all that extra expense? Be- sides, dare say, MT. Caudle, you'll do very well without me. The children may miss me when I'm gone and perhaps oc- casionally will put flower on my grave, but I expect very little from you, sir, and your second wife. After a very little time, MT. Caudle, you'll be the gayest widower in the world, sir. All men are. There's nothing So foolish and silly and disgusting as an old widower getting his second wind.
 By the way, the maid told me of the visit today of that Tattle-tale hussy. What of 1t? Wasn't 1t natural for her to call and inquire about me. as she'd heard I was i'll? I suppose MT. Caudle, she wants to find out how long I'm going to last. I think her visit was positively indecent She might have waited. shan't be in her way long, sir; I'm fading day by day
 Don't call me dearest in that way, Mr. Caude now; it's too late, sir; it's too late. I'm sick woman, Mir Caudle; my strength is going very fast You meant it when you said dearest? No doubt; but, MT Caudle, i'll as I am you can't expect me to lie here and hear you say dearest in that tone of voice and not think about how you'll be saying the same words in the same tone of voice to that Tattle-tale hussy when I'm gone.

The Wage Boom

From 'Labors Seven Billion Dollar
 'Raise." by J. George Frederick, in
 the American Review of Reviews.
 Today in the middle wes. large dig nified manufacturing corporations have competed breathlessly in an effort to tempt boys to leave high school to earn s15 per week simply screwing common nuts on machinery. Machinsts are being fought over like remnants at bargain counters, and in many in stances offered high premiums or un- precedented high wages to drop their jobs for others. Two dollars an hour has been nothing very unusual to of fer in order to tempt machinists to respond to a feverish call Two dollars an hour means $96 per week, or 5000 la year: which is a sum so greatly in excess of the average professional in come that it almost puts general cdu. cation and learning to shame. and may vet tempt some of the myri1 law yers, doctors and other professionals (the average of whose yearly income is admitted to be little more than s700) to don oyeralls and become real pro- .ucers!'

Hindenburg: The "Iron Man.

From German Military Leaders" in the
 American Review of Reviews.
 We first heard of Hindenburg in the early weeks of the war, as being sent hurriedly to rescue East Prussia from the Russian invaders. He had been on the retired list and was remembered chiefly as crank" on the subject of the Masuran lake region as an ideal battle ground. His pet theory worked out, however, and the rout of the Russian army at Tannenberg remains the greatest single disaster in the European war.
 Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg be- came the national idol, was the principal figure in the campaign that won Poland in the summer of 1915, and at the present

CLASS But FAILS.
TO DEFEAT SOLDIER
Harry Gillum Gives Cali
fornian Hard Battle at
Salt Lake but Not in the
Best of Condition.

Failure to be in the best Of physi-
cal condition is given as the cause for
Harry Gillums defeat at Salt Lake
this week when he met Gordon DeKay,
the California soldier. This Is the con-
clusion reached by Salt Lake scribe
with the Tribune, who says:
Hardy Downing gave the fight fans
the greatest run for their money at
the Manhattan club last night they
have ever had since the boxing game
was started three years ago. All of
the battles were six-round affairs and
the men fought them from the tap of
the gong until the end of the fights.
The battling was faster and more
furious than ever staged at the club
and every fight was a whirlwind. The
main event between Harry Gillum OF
Boise and Gordon Mckay was over
Swallowed by the fight between Kid
Bronco and Bullion.
In the main event, Mckay put It over
on Gillum. Giilum is one Of the most
likely looking boys ever fighting at the
local club and lost the decision mainly
because he was not in the best Of ply
steal condition and he shows best over
a longer route. He was unusually
rough in the early part Of the fight
using his arms and elbows. The figh,
showed that Mckay Is not a flash ir
the pan and is entitled to headline
honors in future boxing events.

THE PASSING OF NID-Nop.

Mamma told Betty that when little
children went to bed without regret
ting one single. thing they had done
during the day the fairies were sure to
visit them in their dreams. Betty had
been good all day and she tried hard
to keep awake to welcome the fairies
should they come.
Up from the meadow came the tiny
Mid Nod" of a cricket as he sang
sleepily. His song made Betty feel
drowsy. Then. suddenly q tiny tug
at the coverlet reused Betty, and she
saw queer little elfin struggling at
the foot of her bed. His boot was tam
gled in the coverlet. Betty sat up with
a start of surprise.
Hello, Betty. I'm Md Nod. Help mo
get my boot loose, and Ill take you
with me-" cried the elfin.
Betty untangled his green boot and
it left a hole in the coverlet.
Mamma will mend It," whispered
Betty sleepily as she looked at her lit
tie guest
Between his eyebrows two tiny hairs
stuck up like feelers in the air. On his
head was yellow cap with a green
feather in it, His suit was Of silver
and he looked like a moonbeam as he
danced over the bed and sang:
Moonbeams silver, moonbeams bright;
Give to Betty Fairy sight,
Let your magic silver glow.
And thus make her smaller grow.
Something soft and velvety touched
Betty's cheek and she grew SO tiny
that the bed looked like q great white
lake. Through the window floated q
silver moonbeam boat and Betty
jumped in beside Mid Nod.

Away they sailed on silver moon

ADJUSTMENTS
STRAIN D.

Thomas H. Ince, while discussing
THE Son of His Father" which is
Charles Rays first Paramount pro-
duction, and the universal appeal of
the young star said:
IF l could sum it up in one phrase
I should say that it is because Ray has
not only the gift of youth in itself, he
has the gift of naturally, spontaneously
and unerringly portraying the emotions
and mannerisms of youth which appeal
to young and old alike.
ut is a strange thing, but fact
| that nearly all young leading men
choose as their models actors who are
old enough to be their fathers-or their
grandfathers. Ray has never made this
mistake. He has Always played the
part exactly as called for by the
scenatio without any attempts at imi-
tation. There will be time for him
many years hence to act the classic
roles of drama"
THE Son of His Father" which is
at the Strand theater three days start
ing today, Is a stirring photoplay taken
from the famous story of that name
by Ridgwell Cullum.
