Should Not BED

In Columbus, O.. the blind mother of soldier
with Pershing was brought before the city coun-
Gil for begging in defiance of newly adopted
ordinance.
Blind mothers of soldiers should not be per-
mitted to beg.
The authorities should see that all such prac-
tees are stopped at once.
BLIND MOTHERS OF SOLDIERS SHOULD
BE WE'LL CARED FOR BY THE COMMU-
NIFTY SO THEY WILL NOT NEED TO BEG!
This is a problem America must face at once.
So far no adequate provision has been made for
those the soldiers leave behind.
OF course in the new national army there will
be few taken who have dependents, but there now
are in service many who have left dear ones be-
hind who must be cared for.
America cannot afford to be other than Justly
generous with the mothers and wives and chill
dren of soldiers. No soldier ought to have to
face death in France knowing dear ones are in
poverty at home. That is not what this great
democracy wants.
Let lis hope the case of this blind mother in
Columbus will arouse the nation to making prop
er arrangements for such cases.
Blind mothers of soldiers should be kept from
begging by abolishing the need for begging.

PRESSURE IS
BROUGHT FOR
FREE FERRY

Public opinion in Tacoma will
force the county commissioners to
grant free transportation on its
new island ferry, the City of Ia
coma. according to the prediction
of Mayor Fawcett Monday.
Everyone Is getting into the
fight for free ferry fares" said
the mayor.
Hundreds of Tacomans are
telephoning the county commits
sioners each day demanding that
no charge be made. The reply of
Commissioner O'Farrell that the
city should give free rides on its
street car line If the ferry gives
free rides, is foolish, because the
city has already been forced to
spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars for it's 18th street bridge
and other streets over which the
car line will rum"
The Central Labor council to-
day notified Mayor Fawcett that
it would heartily support the cam
paign for free transportation on the
new ferry.

Nailed DRIVE In BALKANS
0|MAY YET DECIDE THE WAR
Strengthening Out of tho
Greek Situation Makes
Possible Cutting of Rail
road From Berlin to
Constantinople.

Some war strategists hold the
real key to winning the war is in
a campaign through Serbia, with
the idea of cutting the Berlin
Constantinople railroad.
Worry about the allied flank
and rear kept the armies under
Gen. Sarrail marking time for
months In northern Greece. Com
mard of the Greek situation i'm
proves the case in three particu-
lars:
1. The allies can land men,
food and munitions at western
Greek ports near the heel of Italy.
involving a sea trip of but a few
hours. instead of the seven-day
trip from Marseilles to Salonika
through the submarine-infested
Aegean sea.
2. The allies no longer need
fear what a Greek army under
Constantine might have attempt
ed to do.
B. If they choose, the allies
can commander the wheat sup
plies of the rich plains of Thes-
sally.
At present the allies have a
line between $50 and 800 miles.
1t runs from Axalona, Albania, to
Lake Ochrida, to Monastir in
Serbia, over to Lake Dorian and
then to the gulf of Kavala, Greek
city given over to Bulgarians by
command of Constantine.
This line is held by Italian
troops on the west, then a Rus
sian division. three Serb armies,
the French in Vardir valley and
around Lake Dorian, then the
British in Struma valley.
BY possession of Monastir the
allies are within 16 miles of
Prilep and Veles, which can be
taken after one smash through a
mountain range directly south of
them. Once the allies have these
two towns, they can turn the big
Babouna range by thanking it and
fighting their way 40 miles to
Uskub, key to tie allied objective.
At Uskub they would be astride
a railroad that leads directly to
Nish. They could then either fol-
low this railroad to Nish or go
across the plateau to Sofia.
Capture of either Of these cities
would cut the railroad between
Berlin and Constantinople. This
would cut off Turkish grain from
shipment to Germany. and would
prevent the Turks getting ammu-
milton from Germany. so it is fig
ured Turkey and Bulgaria, for
largely the same reasons. would
quickly have to get out of the war.

Q.-Dlu our soldiers IN the
Civil war fight in trenches as
they are doing in the present
world war? READER.
A.-The world has never known
before the methods Of warfare
which have developed i'm this
great war. The Germans and
probably other European armies
have been Taught trench digging,
but i'm this war they have so in
tensified earlier methods that lit
orally thousands of miles of con-
crete trenches and slibterranean
forts have been built along lines
never conceived Of before in war
fare.
Notifications in the Civil war
were called breastwOrks or earth
works. Earth rocks were thrown
up and supplemented by bags of
cotton or sand or hay. In front
of Petersburg, General Grants
army succeeded i'm exploding many
mines. Long months Of labor
were devoted to the setting Of a
series of mines which created the
celebrated "Great Crater" where
hundreds of men were killed. The
ground back Of the trench lines
in France is filled with such GRAFT
ers created by the explosion of
dynamite and great shells.
Q.-Who wrote the Ara
bian Nights" or is the au-
thor known? ELSA
A.-The origin Of this cOllec-
ton of oriental tales, the more
exact name of which Is "The
Book Of One Thousand and One
Nights" cannot be traced, since
IL is rooted in antiquity. Like
the folk tales of other lands,
these stories were circulated
orally for centuries before a writ
ten record was made. However,
the 13 stories which form the
nucleus had been reduced to writ
ing as early as tho 10th century,
and the collection had assumed q
definite shape in the 18th CEN
fury. In 1904 Antoine GaIand,
n French orientalist, introduced
these stories into Europe. He
supplemented the original manu-
script with tales from professional
story-tellcrs with whom he came
in contact during his travels. The
success Of his book was phenomi-
nal. Il was promptly translated
into every language.

SEES HER LOVER SHOT IN DREAM OF
 TRENCH BATTLE

LONDON.-(Special. )--Many we'll authenticated stories are told of how sweethearts and wives have been warned by dreams and telepathy of impending danger to loved ones at the front. One of the most vivid stories on record is related by young lady whose finance was recently wounded.
 Almost as soon as she fell asleep one night she dreamed that she saw her fiance in the trenches preparing for a raid. In her dreams she saw him, with many others, climb out of the British trenches, cross out of the the British trenches, cross No Mans Land and enter the enemy'S lines. Her dream became confused for mo- ment, and then quite plainly she saw him climb on to the parapet of the German trench and fall forward wounded.
 A big man came up, took the wounded man on his shoulder and carried him back to the British lines, The young lady awoke feeling very alarmed, and the next day wrote to her fance for news.
 A few days afterwaM she received a letter from him in a hospital, stat ing that on the night of her dream about midnight, he was one of ra'd- ing party, composed of English ana New ZealanderS, and was wounded whilst standing on the top of the Ger man trench. A big Maori carried him back to the British lines, exactly as the young lady had pictured in her dream.
