FRENCH CHILDREN.

AS the liberty loan campaign in the
schools has started, it will be of Pc
culiar interest to pupils and parents
of the seventh federal reserve district
to know something of the part that
teachers and students in the schools
of France are bearing to help finance
the greatest war. The following in
formation, supplied by the French de.
partment of education, was obtained
at the French consulate from M. Bar
thelemy, the consul in Chicago:
In the last two years the primary
schools Of the department of the Seine
alone have bought 100000 francs
of the national loan, or in American
money $6,000.000 worth. This aston
ishing participation was the direct re-
suit of an appeal issued by M. Paul
Painleve, minister of public instruc-
ton, to all schools to subscribe stead
lily to the loan. He had pictures Illus
trating the loan distributed in the
schools, and these were commented
upon by the teachers before classes.
Thus the families of the community
as we'll as the pupils we're reached.
Minister Painleve founded an annu'
al national defense prize in every
school in France; and, loan informa'
ton becoming regular part of the
curriculum, loan examination were
held periodically to determine to
whom this prize should go. The loan

Styles Of Trenches.

German officer, the Germans, divide
their trenches into four different
classes. There are, first, the rifle pits
shallow excavations dug by the SOL

feet long and two feet wide, with a
low earth parapet pushed up In front;
second, the kneeling trench, simple
ditch about three feet wide; third, the
standing trench, which has shelf-like

Only Woman Jailer In World.

Switzerland possesses the only wom'
an jailer in the world. She is governor
and warder In the prison of Aigle, In
the Rhone valley. A good many years
agO she married the chief warder Of
the prison and soon proved to be a
helpmate indeed, for, being a strong
built woman, and with proper notions
of discipline, she made as good a jailer
as her husband. and more than once
did his work when he was away. When
he died the authorities asked her to
take his place permanently, and she
accepted. All the year round the Aigle
prison contains from twelve to twenty
male prisoners, sentenced to terms Of
Imprisonment ranging from three
months to three years, and although
the woman jailer has no assistants she
has never had any trouble with the
prisoners. Strict disciplinarlan though
she is, the woman-jailer has the
kindliest Of hearts, and takes great
interest in her guests" as she calls
them. Many a prisoner has been set
on the straight path again by her wise
and kindly advice. ..

WILL SILVER COME BACK?

With bar silver at over dollar an
ounce, price higher than the white
metal has enjoyed since the crime OF
'73," with silver at a premium over
gold in 1ndia-where silver has al
ways been the popular medium, with
South American coinage at higher
value than its face as currency, with
the gold OF the world piling up in the
United States and in Japan; with all
these things confronting the monetary
world. it is small wonder that some
people are beginning to talk of the re-
monetization of silver, Of bimetallism,
and the like. The conditions Of In
debtedness which gave the silver
movement its force in this country
twenty years ago will be Of interna'
tional scope when the war is over.
Every country will be in debt, and 1t
will be to their temporary interest at
least to increase the stock OF basic
money. 1t would indeed be strange

WHERE Is LABOR LEADERS,

Months ago. among the war plans
of the administration, an adjustment
board was provided. whose duty was
to be to prevent strikes and other dis
turbances in establishments engaged
in war work. The supposed leaders
Of the labor organizations agreed to
the plan; if we remember Alright, they
accepted membership on the board.
Yet strikes have not been obviated;
they have been numerous-the one In
the Pacific coast shipyards being the
most serious; and it is pertinent to in
quire whether the leaders OF organ
lied labor, meaning by that the men
who hold high Office in those organiza-
lions, are without influence and au'
thority over their members. In mat
tiers of politics and legislation. these
men assume to speak with the united
voice Of organized labor, trey promise
to deliver" it's vote, they threaten
to make use of its power at the polls.
How does it happen that they are i'm.

Risked Life for Another.

The story Of a mans extraordinary
bravery in jumping into the mouth of
a blast furnace to rescue q fellow
workman was told at an inquest at
Cleveland, Yorkshire. A man fell from
the top Of the furnace and was lying
unconscience on the 'bell" on which
the iron ore is tipped before 1t is dis
charged into the furnace. George We'll
ford, who is chargeman, at once
sprang a distance Of five feet into the
midst of deadly gas fumes and in
tense heat, at the peril of his own life.
He lifted the unconscious man-who
was so badly burned that he died af-
terwards-to the top of the furnace,
and then scrambled out, almost over
come with the heat and fumes.
