GHOSTS OF THE WAR.
How Science Explains Strange Battlefield Manifestations
That Hover Over Strip Between Contending Forces

Soldiers serving in the trenches of
the front battle line of France tell
strange stories of ghosts that hover
over mo Mans Land" as the mar
row strip that separates the contend
ing forces is known and which is of
ten for weeks and even months at a
time thickly strewn with unburied
bodies of heroic dead. Warm, dark
nights seem to favor the appearance
of these ghostly performers.
The men in the trenches describe
these phantoms of the firing lines as
often dancing in groups and resem-
bling luminous cloud that rises
slowly from the ground short dis
lance away and remains almost sta
tionary, wavering to and fro only
whenever a breeze disturbs the still
ness of the air. All of this produces
a most weird effect, the soldiers say,
as fitful currents of air agitate the

phantasmal "drapery" seem to fut-
ter and at intervals gives them the
actual appearance of dancing.

According to no less an authority
than Prof. Charles E. Munroe, of the
George Washington University, who
is the governments chief expert in
explosives, there is nothing at all in
credible in these. ghost tales, brought
back from the fighting fronts by SOL
diers on a furlough. There may be
such phantoms, and plenty of them,
but science accounts for them with
out reference to the supernatural.
Chemical analysis of human bodies
reveals the fact that in the body of
a man of average size there are about
55 ounces of phosphorus, seven
eighths of which are in the bones.
This phosphorus is the secret of
the ghosts of the battlefelds AS the
unburied body of dead soldier de-
composes the calcium of the bones
mixes with the phosphorus, which
combination produces a gas luminous
in the dark. On quiet, moonless
night this gas, dissolving into the air,
might easily assume that of spec

excited imaginations of soldiers with
overweight nerves,

MACON, Ga.-An unusual case
has been called to the attention of
Mayor Smith, in which a young wo-
man who was sent to the state farm
some time ago in order that she
might be cured of the drug habit,
IS begging that her mother, also a
drug victim, be arrested for va
grancy, if necessary, and sent to the
farm that she, too, may be cured.
This mother and her daughter for
years were familiar figures on the
streets of Macon and they are pas
sionately devoted to each other Both
became physical wrecks and dropped
down to the very depths of depMvity
through the drug habit. For days
they have been known to do without
food, sleeping in stairways and the
corners of alleys, or any other place
where they thought they could es-
cape the eye of the vigilant police
man. They were arrested time with
out end on charges of lettering, beg
ging on the streets and vagrancy un-
til the authorities finally decided to
send the daughter to the farm.
There are usually from so to 100
drug addicts in the state prison, sent
there on charges of vagrancy or 9TH
er minor offenses, and they always
leave cured of the habit and won

Press 1.-THE wide brimmed cam
paign hats have been abandoned by
the United States army for troops
actually in the field. In their place
hats like the fatigue headgear of the
French army have been adopted.
The new hat is a sort of fore and
aft arrangement made by sewing two
heavy pieces of khaki cloth together
with the seams, front and back and
adding to the sides other pieces of
material which fold up on the side
of the hat or may be drawn down
to cover the ears. The hat is most
comfortable. 1t also can be rolled UP
to pocket size or worn under shrap-
mel helmets.
The old campaign hat to fold was
cumbersome for troops in the field
and officers recommended a change.
1t was so unyieldly that some of the
troops discarded it entirely when
they were changing to the shrapnel
helmet.

COTTON CONSUMPTION
50 FAR A RECORD
DURING MONTH OF OCTOBER
SECOND LARGEST DURING
HISTORY OF INDUSTRY.

The consumption of cotton during
the month of October was the second
largest in history of the industry.
The United States census bureau on
Wednesday reported that 595,332
bales were used last month, against
550,655 bales the corresponding pc
Rod last year. The greatest quaint
ty of cotton consumed for any month
in history of the United States was
in May last, when 615,171 bales were
used.
October's consumption surpassed
September's by more than $4,000
bales, and swells the amount con
sumed so far this season up to an
unprecedented total of 1857, ALB
bales. This compares with 1887, 900
bales the corresponding period a
year ago.
Active cotton spindlage in the
United States last month established
new high record, totaling 1876
922, against the previous high rec
ord, May last, of 33, 459,18O. Active
spindles October a year ago totaled
32,557,717.
The heavy consumption of cotton
last month is exceedingly gratifying.
inasmuch as expert statisticians ar
gued that the nation wide agitation
for strict economy would curtail the
use of the staple. However, the rec
ord-breaking demand for cotton by
the government in the way of MAX
ing explosives, tents, underwear,
bandages, ETC., together with the
scarcity and high price of wool and
silk has created an unprecedented
demand for the feecy staple, and
conservative cotton men state that
consumption of cotton this season
will set new high record. Mills, as
evidenced by record spindlage activi-
ty, are operating to capacity.

DENVER MAN CLAIMS HE HAS

'Cat-tails," Which Grow Wild.


"Cat-tails," Which Grow Wild.
DENVER, Colo.-A wild flower,
grown in practically all sections of
the country, will be the means of
supplying munitions manufacturers
with sufficient "guncotton" to keep
Uncle Sam and his allies we'll equipp-
ed with fighting materials, according
to Charles Goard, Denver inventor,
and Beau Brummels need have no
fear of shortage in raw material
for the making of mems clothing.
Goard says he has discovered that
the wild flower known to youths all
over the land as "cat-tails" has a
bulb containing nearly a pint of silk
like floss that can be substituted for
"guncotton" in the manufacture of
ammunitions, thus allowing the en-
tire cotton crop to be used in the
manufacture of clothing.

Milford chronicle., 1917-05-11

THE PEOPLE of Sussex County
have a right to demand of the men
who are chosen to serve them in the
county offices. that they do something
for the public for the salary they re-
ceiye by making themselves accessible
TO the public. 1t is the duty of each
official elected to an Office, to make
himself available for quick and con-
venient access whenever the public
may desire to get into touch with him
or her. The Coroner is one official
to whom this applies especially, and
II is too frequently the case, that the
man elected by the people resides at
some remote point from railroad ia
cilities. but worst of ALL distant from
any telephone or telegraph station.
The Coroner must be compelled to
install telephone at his home before
he is commissioned. This necessity
was emphasized this week in Milford
when attempts were made to get into
communication with the Coroner in a
supposed murder case. The Coroner
resides many miles from the railroad
or telegraph office, and a mile or more
from the nearest telephone. and the
result was that it was ten hours and |
more before he could be gotten to the
enot TO take charge of the case Had /
there been a foul murder, the culprits
could have escaped before the Cor
oner arrived on the scene. This is
only a repetition of what is usual in
this especial instance.
