church and thence into the steeple.
There they found squad farm
in full operation. Two small boys
were perched out on a cornice,
catching pigeons with their hands.
AS fast as they caught the birds,
they placed them in large cage
made of tin cans.

one Of the young culpirts. There
were more pigeons flying around
this steeple than any other place
on the hill, SO we located here.

The boys had 25 pigeons In
their cage, with several young
ones.
They were taken to police head
quarters, given a lecture by De-
tective Capt. Strickland on the
error of selecting church steeplo
as site for a pigeon breeding
farm, and turned loose again.
How the boys gained access to
the high steepls is mystery to

TURMOIL
in CHINA
GROWING
DATED Press Leased wire.)

TOXIC, July 6.-Endless
chaos in China seems at hand.
Dispatches today revealed the
makeshilt monarchy to,tering on
its throne. President LII Yuan
Hung of the former republican
regime, has escaped his pursuers.
The southern provinces are
planning secession from any Man

They have established a provi-

cording to a Reuter- dispatch.
An armed clash is impending
between Picking and Tien Tsin
between the two factions in the
monarchist ranks.
The monarchists have so far
failed to force President LII Yuan
lungs resignation, altho the
former executive has not shown
any signs of a fight.

HARD UP
FOR ALL
METALS


WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, July 6.-Some of
the countless makeshifts with
which Germany is tiding over her
dearth of war metals were revealed
at headquarters.
First of all, prisoners say there
is a fierce demand from the Ger
man fighters for more guns and
that orders have been given by
German commanders for a curtail-
ment in the expenditure of shells
wherever possible.
Captured cartridge shell cases
are of steel now. Apparently lack
of brass and copper has made the
enemy try this metal for ammuni-
ton cases for field guns and howit-
zers.
Steel cartridges are also being
issued to soldiers. Attempts have
been made to make these steel
cases available for use in machine
guns, but up to the present they
persist in a tendency to burst and
jam the guns.
Captured automobiles from the
German lines show construction
also without brass or copper. Motor
lorries show fabric and wooden
tires instead OF rubber.
Estimates from prisoners give
about Is per cent of the present
German fighting infantry made up
of men 81 and % years old. From
II to Is per cent are men aver
aging 20. Lads of 10 are now
being brought to the front in large
numbers and about or 10 per
cent of the fighting infantry is
made up of these youngsters.
German prisoners say home
depots are now filling up with 49,
year-old youths and boys of IT are
undergoing examination prepara-
tory to conscription.

Conditions at Camp Wheeler
As Seen By Mrs. Steitz

There has been much in the papers
of late relative to the reported un-
healthfulness of Camp Wheeler, and
we are glad to give space to an inter-
esting article on the question from
the pen of Mrs. William Steitz, wife
of Captain Steitz, of Company D, who
recently returned from Macon, and
who, after a thorough examination of
conditions there is able to intelligent
ly write about the matter, Mrs. Steitz
says:
Whence has arisen the talk against
conditions at Camp Wheeler?
We may dispose Of a lot Of it by as
cribing 1t to ignorance. A majority
of those who are doing the talking
know precious little about conditions
at Camp Wheeler and still less about
what constitutes ideal conditions in
a military camp.
Then there is lot Of misunder-
standing as to what constitutes a
hardship is doing without something
you have been used to. What is a
hardship for one man is part Of every.
day life to another.
In the above sense Of the word
there are hardships in the life of q
soldier. There are also hardships in
the lives of us who are at home
Hardships accompany war. There
never has been a nice, agreeable war
In these times, it is particularly un
becoming real men and women to say
much about their hardships. They
are an unavoidable part of present

conditions.
Now, some people regard sympathy
as an expression of love. Loving the
soldiers, they feel that they ought to
be sorry for them. And some Of the
boys are far from averse to hearing
extravagant expressions Of sympathy.
1t is rather soul-satisfying to have
your sweetheart write, "Oh, feel so
sorry for you when l think of your
having to miss your sleep to do guard
duty on these dark, lonely nights"
But one keen-minded girl did not
write anything like that. She wrote.
"Do you think they are running a
boarding school up there? You are
in a training camp for men,"
Weeping with those that weep is
not the highest expression Of love. II
you can not remove the cause of the
weeping, you can be real friend by
increasing the spirit with which your
friend meets his trials and tempta-
tions and endures his hardships.
Now, much of the talking about ply.
sical moral and sanitary conditions
in the military camps is only an ex.
pressions of grievances on the part of
the takers. Here is a mother who re-
sents her sons going to the war, here
is a politician with a grudge against
the government, there is pacif1st
who is confusing opposition to military
conditions with his conscientious pro-
test against war in general The gov.
ernment is undoubtedly doing the best
| it can under the conditions. Who

ever would have us believe otherwise
is deliberately or thouhtlessly trait
or. Governments have been know to
make mistakes. Our government is
trying to avoid mistakes and to rem
edy anything that shows up as a mis-
take. This is no time to foster dis
trust of the governments intentions.
You may say that the boys them.
selves say they are freezing and starv-
ing. Sure. Didn't your boy ever
complain at home? Above all, did he
never have the "blues" or a griev-
ance? Did he never say the teacher
"had it in for him., and his father was
too hard on him, and his mother
didn't understand a fellow? Did he
never say he was tired of pancakes
for breakfast, and that his room was
the coolest one in the house? Well,
he is kid, yet, in some respects, even
If he has become one of Uncle Sans
boys in brown.
We all get the "blues' sometimes.
The boy who says the first sergeant
has it in for him is the son, perhaps,
of the man who says his boss never
gave him a square deal. And. when
a boys girl has just written about
going to dance with some detestable
Stacker that he never liked anyway,
then the beef stew looks unappetizing
and the wind comes down the com.
pany street with keenness unknown
before, and the other fellows in the
tent are a bunch Of loud-mouthed
"rough-necks," and the cot is too hard
and the covers too thin. He writes
all this to his mother. Maybe, he
adds a few words about his cough get
ting worse, and says If he should die
OF pneumonia in few days, will she
take good care of his dog? Just the
way we act when we get the blues,
you see. The next day the world
looks different, and he writes home
that he is all right, don't worry. But
mother does worry; she knows he is
trying to conceal things, for mother
has the blues. too. by now, and she
is almost fierce in her determination
to look on the dark side.
Well, the truth is that the soldier
has hardships, some of which cease,
In the course Of time, to be hardships.
There are inconviences and privations
which are an unavoidable part of the
life. When all is said, the soldier ia
making sacrifices. That is whv we
love him. If his life were easy, he
would deserve no glory.
But what are the conditions under
which he is living in the training
camps? The conditions-physical,
moral, and sanitary-are better than
those that surround the boy who is
sun at home. You have to see the
camp to appreciate this. You have to
see with your own eyes that the com.
