Too Soon to Tell About It

The eager old man removed the bat tered slouch hat from his head and sighed.
 "No, 1 mustn't tell it yet. l would like to, but it is not wise. Business before everything. How long? Oh, have been here for some time, work ing all the while. Yes, 1 have a son He is alive, l believe"
 There was more talk and then the bell rang for supper. MT. Paige arose, apparently refreshed. A smile lit up his face and he strengthened his little white beard. He replaced his hat and started for the dining-room.
 The corridors were lined with old men, who walked with their eyes low cred, who muttered and shivered and stared blankly at each other. Paige, ward of the county" passed them briskly, oblivious to them and with the eyes of man wrapped in dreams. He, too, was muttering. The words were: "Revolutionize the whole in- dustry by the great Paige"

Keeps His Air of Dignity

An old man with white hair and a still rugged face, an old man with the air of the great Paige compoSitor' still about him, came into the office of John Welch, the farm superintendent at Oak Forest. The old man walked firmly. He wore the uniform" of the poorhouse, the discarded black coat buttoned at the throat with a safety pin, the sweater and the heavy soggy shoes. His hands trembled somewhat his voice was eager. His eyes, un, filmed by age, still shone brightly forth. It was Paige. He sat IF straight in his chair as he used to sit at a meeting of the board of the great Page compositor.'

DRAFT APPEALS VOID
CASES AUTOMATICALLY THROWN
OUT BY NEW RULING.
Men Not Completely Crippled VIII Be
Held Subject to Special
Army Duty.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Men who
have been drafted and have appeals
from the decision Of their local board
pending will have their cases auto
matically thrown out by ruling of
Provost Marshal General Crowder in
connection with the revision Of the
draft regulation.
Major Easby-Smith. legal expert of
General Crowder's staff. explained that
all such appeals will automatically
cease to exist, as the man will be re-
turned to his original status-that is,
to the position he was ia before being
called before the draft board.
The provost marshal general made
clear on Sunday that because the new
regulations provide that men not COM
pletely crippled may be held subject
for special army service, and will not
be exempted, this does not mean that
the army proposes to fill up it's ranks
behind the lines and on routes of COM
munication with semidisqualified men.
Such men will be put practically in
special class, and can be called only
under a special and specific summons
for men disqualified for general mill
tary service, but qualified for special
service.

FIVE U-BOATS SUNK
BRITISH PREMIER TELLS COM
MONS OF ONE DAYS VICTORY
OVER SUBMARINES.
SAYS DIVER PERIL IS ENDED
Lloyd George Defends Paris Speech
and Declares He Acted to Arouse
PubIic-Pershing Backs War
Council.

London, Nov. 21.-Five German sub
marines were destroyed on Saturday
alone, Premier David Lloyd-George
told the house of commons on Mon
day. The premier added that he had
no further fear of submarines.
These statements were made during
the debate in which Mr.. Lloyd-GeOrge
fought the fight of his political life.
The opposition against the premier,
headed by former Prime Minister Her
bert H. Asquith, apparently switched
it's plans since last weeks opening fire
on Mr.. loyd-George and, when Mr..
Asquith summed up against his success
sor, he centered his fire not SO mucn
on the proposed supreme inter-allle0
war council, which it was feared would
change the British army system, as on
Lloyd Georges ''brutally frank" Paris
speech.
Responding, Mr.. Lloyd-George de-
clared his Paris speech was mot an
impulsive one"
"It was carefully considered and
submitted to the cabinet" he added.
81 resolved to assume the risk In or
der to arouse public sentiment, not
merely here but in France, Italy ana
America"
The new scheme had been launched,
he declared, in an indictment OF the
general strategy Of the allies, on the
ground that it had been in several In
stances dilatory or misdirected.
Taking up Mr.. Lloyd-Georges "Dru-
tally frank speech at Paris, he vigor-
ously criticized the premier's state
ment that the allies action toward
Serbia and Roumania had been IAN
ineffeccable blunder."
.sSuch statement is unjust to the
allies statesmen and soldiers" he as
serted.
s'The allies consultative machinery
has been inadequate and it's effects
grievous,'' replied the premier, open
ing his defense.
AS far as he could gauge, public
opinion in America would have pre-
ferred council with executive pow
ers, but there were reasons why he
thought it undesirable to set up
council with full executive authority
unless the allies were absolutely
driven to it by failure of the present
scheme.
General Pershing was among the
commanders who agreed to the coun-
Gil plan last July, the premier de-
clared. Others were General Foch OF
the French staff, Robertson (British)
and CadOrna Utalian).

at some points to prolong their de-
tense at some advanced positions,
which have been abandoned in an or
derby withdrawal after fierce resist
ance and brilliant counter-attacks.
North of QuerO the Como brigade has
again shown its valor.
Yesterday along the Piave parties

loss for the enemy an attack attempted
by the troops closed in at Zenson, driv-
