''Oh, I've been mapping there in that
chair, where I could keep one eye on
you. I'm terribly selfish can't bear
to lose one minute" After while she
said: "Pye made a discovery. Father

never heard anything like it, and it
frightened him nearly to death. He
says the father must be a very fierce
man to growl so loudly He says, too,
that he likes me much better than his
mother"
1t seemed to Dave that the bliss of
this awakening and the sweet intimacy
of this one moment more rewarded him
for all he had gone through.

learn the news, and it's not very nice.
It's good we stopped here. He says
Neuvo Pueblo has been destroyed, and
the federal forces are all moving south,
away from the border. So our troubles
aren't over yet. We must reach the
river tonight"
"Yes, by all means"
Juan is going with US as guide"
''YOu arranged everything while

reckon the government figures that the
original of these newspaper pictures
would be safe anywhere. Well, we've
got our own ideas in Jonesvf1le, so
some of US assembled ourselves and de-
clared war on our own hook. These
gentlemen'-Blaze waved his hand
proudly at his neighbors- constitute
the Jonesville Guards, the finest body
of American men that has invaded
Mexican soil since me and Dave went
after Ricardo Guzman's remains.
Blamed if 1 amt sorry you sidetraeked
our expedition"
It was evident, from the words Of the
others, that the Jonesville Guards were
indeed quite as needless of interna-
tiona1 complications as was their com
mander. One and all were highly in
censed at Longorio's perfdy, and, had
Alaire suggested such a thing, it was
patent that they would have ridden on
La Feria and exacted a reckoning from
him
Such proof of friendship affected her
deeply, and it was not until they were
all under way back toward Romero
that she felt she had made her appre-
citation fully known. When she reflect
ed that these men were some of the
very neighbors whom she had Stunned
and sighted, and whose honest interest
she had so habitually misconstrued all
these years, 1t seemed very strange
that, they should feel the least concern
over her. 1t gave her new apprecia-
ton of their ehlvaIry and their worth ;
it filed her with a humble desire TO
know them better and to strengthen
herself In their regard. Then, too, the
esteem in which they held Dave-her
husband-gratihed her intensely. It
made no more difference to them than
to her that he was poor man, q man
without authority or position; they evil

ADVANCING ACROSS WIDE
STRETCHES EXPOSED TO FIRE.

| The advance in such a succession Of
thin lines as that described in the last
article is used to progress across a
wide stretch which is swept, or in dan
ger of being swept, by artillery fire, or
by lOng-range rifle fire. In short, this
type of advance is undertaken in places
exposed to a fire which it would be
proftless to return. The advance by
short PUSHES would both be costly Cbe-
cause of the comparative concentration
of the men in the fire-swept area) and
| impracticabIe, since to return rifle fire
against artillery world be futile 1t
would be almost equally futile against
lOng-range rife fire. However, when
| the thin lines have advanced, as was
said before, from 100 to $50 yards, they
may then be in a better position to re-
turn the fire.
The purpose of this movement is to
| build up q strong skirmish line at a
point where it may engage in a fire
fight, and to build it up with the mini
mum cost. This method, while advan-
tageOus from certain standpoints, also
has its drawbacks. Because, during
the progress of the advance, there is
almost entire loss of control over the
company. Each individual is left to
his own initiative in reaching the new
line, but unless otherwise specified,
the advance is conducted at quick time,
and there is a general uniformity Of
movement.
Yet the seriousness of the loss of
control depends very largely upon the
previous training and discipline of the
Rn =
proper kind, and the company is sufi-
GENTLY grounded in discipline, team
work, and esprit de corps, it will con-
tinue to assert itself even when the
man is proceeding across the exposed
area alone.
1t is precisely the same as with a
back-feld player on a football eleven ::
He is alone, his responsibility is single,
generally speaking, but at that he
never loses his consciousness of team
play and the essential coordination of
his efforts with those of the rest of his
team.
Against the possible disadvantage of
a temporary loss Of control over the
company, moreover, is the more than
compromising advantage that such an
advance is less likely to draw fire.
This is not only important from the
standpoint of casualties, but would in
itself reduce the degree in which such
control may be lost. In other words,
it would be even more difficult to re-
tain control over a deployed company
which is subject to a whitening fire
than over a company advancing in a
succession of thin lines, if the fire is
scattering and Intellectual.
The war in Europe has in many re-
spects cancelled previous theories Of
combat. In view of such developments
the. regulations specifically state that
other and better formations may be de-
vised to fit particular cases. But this
basic principle remains 1.-THE best for
nation is the one which advances the
line furthest with the least loss of men,
time and control"
Training in the existing regulations
for extended order work, therefore,
schools the young soldier in the under
lying purpose of the fire attack, and
after comprehending this, he can much
more easily adapt himself to any spe-
cial methods which conditions may re-
quire.

Money In the Idea.

@There is money in maintenance" the Electrical Merchandising Magazine points out. Large hotels do not buy glassware; they contract with a glass concern which keeps them stocked at so much per month regardless of the amount of breakage. Ta1icab compa- .nies in the big cities do net buy tires; they contract with tire dealer to keep their cars equipped at set price per car per year, regardless oflpunctures and blowoyts. Now comes the story of an electrical contractor who is profit ing by keeping the electric equipment of his customers in order on monthly maintenance basis.
 sThe idea is not new. The glass man borrowed it from somewhere; the taxi tire man borrowed it from him, and so 1t goes. Originality is almost an un- known thing. A clever business man is simply one who adapts borrowed ideas successfully and who does 1t
 first in his locality"

Voluntary Prisoners.

During the early weeks of occupa- tion of Port-au-Prince by the Ameri- can marines the patrols rounded up seventy three prisoners. The jails be- ing unspeakable at that time, these prisoners were parked out in clean, roofed over corral, where of course they were regularly fed. A few days after the collection was put into the corral the captain of marines asked his sergeant to go in and make, care full count of the prisoners, as he feared some of them might have escaped. The sergeant counted over his haul three times. Well" said the captain, "are they all there?" "I can't make it out, sir" said the, sergeant, i've put seven ty-three of lem in here on Monday and there's, hundred and two of lem, mostly soldiers, in there now."-George Marvin in Worlds Work

 Connecticut: Rain tonight and probably Wednesday; some warm CT tonight, colder Wednesday; fresh southeast winds, becoming 1forthwest.
 A disturbance central this morning over porthern Ohio is causing unsettled weather with rain or snow in the lake region and the Ohio valley. A long ridge of high pressure extending from North Dakota southHard to Texas is producing pleasant weather with unusually low temperatures for the season between the Rocky mountains and the Missis- sIppi river. Freezing temperatures extend ms far south as Texas.

A Dayliaht Saving Scheme.

Instead of setting clocks an hour for ward in spring and an hour backward in fall, Professor Lecorbun suggests to the French Academy of Sciences a simple method of making the change gradually and with the seasons. This consists of altering slightly the length of the pendulums of clocks at the win ter and summer soistices, so that be ginning with Dec. 21 they would gain thirty seconds a day, and beginning with June 21 would lose thirty seconds day.
 4 The effect of this would be that by March 21 they would be forty-fve min utes ahead and by June 21 they would be an hour and thirty minutes ahead. After which the pendulums would be changed, and the clocks would lose at the same speed.
 Under such an arrangement we should have to set our watches for ward or backward half minute every night.

Thorough Investigation of the ac- tivities of Martin Herasinovite, of 1O7 Reilly street, an employe of the Rem ington shops, accused of trying to thwart the Liberty loan campaign. is being made by Charles H. Lane, spec ial agent of the Department of Jus tice in, this city Herasinovite was ar- rested yesterday at the Remington shops by Policeman Foley on com plaint he had been talking against the Liberty loan.
 Agent Lane said today that he has found that the man came from Rus sia to the United States in 1910, had resided for most of the intervening time in Claremont, N. H., and, came to Bridgeport about four months ago. He is known to have talked against the Liberty loan, and is also believed to be a draft eyader, This feature of the case is now under investigation
 It has been alleged that Herasino- yite registered twice. once in New Hampshire, and once in Connecticut but this feature has not been cleared up as yet.
 Herasinovite was before the city court today on technical breach of the peace charges, the case was continued until October 27, and bonds fixed at $500.

 MONEY HERE FOR. | IBE:R'|TY BONDS
Many Offers Are Already Re- ceived by Federal
 Official.

Washington, Oct. 23-Property and money amounting to $200. 100000, or more, belonging to German subects or owed to them by corporations and in- dividuals in the United States will be seized and used to buy Liberty bonds with which to finance the war against Germany. Already preparations are under way by A Mitchell Palmer. Custodian of Enemy Property, to ern- ploy this money against Germany.
 MT. Palmer, who qualified yester- day as custodian and opened offices at 920 F street will be the largest indi viduaI purchaser of Liberty bonds. All the money he obtains in his official capacity will go toward the purchase of the bonds.
 Upon coming to Washington yester- day to take up his important duties MT. Palmer found hundreds of letters from corporations and others offering to turn over to him large amounts of money in the shape of dividends from German-owned corporations in the United States as well as amounts due in settlements of estates and bills owed German business houses by American houses.
 Inasmuch as the moneys can be easily received and their status does not require any great amount of in- vestigation by the custodian they will be received without delay. MT. Pal mer will completely qualify today when he will file a bond as large as that required by the government of the Secretary of the Treasury, $150,- 900.
 Transcepding in importance the collection of money is the confisca- ton by the custodian of metals and materials owned by German citizens here, among them cotton and other products that go into the making of war materials. These will exceed in value the amounts owed German citi- ems in cash It is estimated unom- cially that the value of cotton. cop per, steel and oil stored in the United States for German corporations will amount to s15o,000.000. although no official tabulation has been made of them yet.
 As soon as MT. Palmer can organ ize force he will begin seizing ma terials. The first step in this drec- ton will be formal notice to all cor porations to inform the custodian of the materials held by them, as well as money owed German citizens. Under the law 60 days is. allowed for making the returns. Therefore probably three months will elapse before the vast stores of German supplies in the Limited States are confiscated and finally employed, for use by this gov ernment.
 It is expected that MT. Palmer will soon confer with William J. Flynn, chief of the Secret Service, and that the first conf1scation of materials will be that of cotton, of which there are l millions of bales in the United States paid for. hy German money

|CANARD ABOUT RED CROSS SELLING
 KNITTED ARTICLES IS NAILED BY
 OFFICIALS OF THE ORGANIZATION

Reports which have been circu- lated in this city and elsewhere to the effect that knitted articles made by the Red Cross workers or donated to the Red Cross are being sold to sol- diers and even civilians were charac- terized today by MT. w. B. Lashar, chairman of the Bridgeport, Connecti- cut chapter. as part of definite propaganda to destroy public conf dence in the Red Cross and thereby seriously hamper the work of car ing for our soldiers and sailors.
 The rumors were started simultan- eously in many localities, said MT. Lashar, and were related with such spacious detail that many persons ac- cepted them as true. Investigations were started by the Red Cross with the result that the stories were found to have not the slightest foundation There was every reason to believe that these stories were circulated malic- 'iously, MT. Lashar continued, the fact that they originated at the same time in som any localities, making them appear part of propaganda to in.Aire the Red Cross. Supposed letters from American soldiers in France to their mothers were cited in support of the stories that knitted goods had been purchased by the men either direct from the Red Cross or through deal- CTS, MT. Lashar said.
 One very popular report told how one woman accosted another on the streets recognized a sweater the latter was wearing as one she had made for her boy in France, and ripping open one of the sleeves pulled out a small piece of cloth inscribed with the makers name. This story has been told all over the state with many variations. " afs#k VI
 "Doubtless every one by this time has heard the tale of the woman who Emitted sweater for the Red Cross, placedsher name in the pocket, and a few days later received word from a department store that her sweater had been purchased with 9 number Of other from 8 manufacturer" said Mir. Lashar.
 ''She is curious person, this lady of the sweater. Never by any chance has she a name, and the speed al which she travels about is really re markable.

DISASTROUS TRIP IS DEATH BLOW TO TUET0N zEPPS

Zurich. Switzerland, Oct. 23.- Is in mourning over the loss of at least four zeppehns in the hl-fated raid on England. accord ing to advices received here from Swiss towns on Lake Constance. The majority of the crews of the de- stroyed zeppelins lived in Friedrich shafep, where they received their training. The king of Wurttemberg has sent messages of condolence to the families of the men lost in the raid.
 The Swiss newspapers express the opinion that the disaster in France is a death blow to aircraft of the zep- pelin type.
 The newest zeppelins, according to information received here. are 760 feet long and 7S feet in diameter. They have eight engines developing 1000 horse power and are able to keep in the air for 50 hours with a crew of 20 men and a load of projectiles.
