HE BEGAN AS PRIVATE
BUT NOW Is BROADER

CLEVELAND, O., June S.-"What
chance have 1 got, enlisting as a
private?"
It's an oft-repeated question in
these war times, and here is the an
swer:
Charles Y Zimmerman has just
been appointed by Gov. Cox as brig
adier-general of the newly formed
third Ohio brigade. And there is an
interesting lapse between 1879 and
May. 1917-a life history TO be
proud Of.
His father died when he was 3
years old and Charles Y. quit school
at IA TO help support his mother.
He worked in a foundry, but he
spent his evenings studying. He
took bookkeeping, and at 10 became
a regular boOkkeeper. He also en-
listed in the fifth Ohio infantry as
a rookie and a very green one at
that. But he got ahead. He was
made a corporal in a few months.
then a sergeant and a first sergeant.
And he kept on reading and study
ing, both business and military
books.
When the war with Spain came
he had risen to a captaincy in his
regiment and in civil life to assistant
city auditor After the war with
Spain he was elected colonel of the
NTH. In private life he kept pace
by becoming manager of Luna park
and father of the Federal League
club here.
Last summer. on the border. he
won further hOnors by receiving
merits for the efficiency with which
he handled his boys He is popular
with his men, for he has always
seen TO il that they had all that
was coming TO them
Now he is brigadier-general of
the third brigade and his "old boys
are fiOcking by the dozens to be
transferred to his command.

good and for the most part is fast

good. A feature of the act is that
no songs are sung Fiske and Fall

tertainers. The girl has an excel
lent voice.
The opening act is a juggling nov
city produced under the guise Of a
ball game. Hats and bats form the
principal part OF the stunt. Frear,
Baggett and F'rear are responsible
for it. A bicycling act that does not
drag is offered by Gordon and Rica
as the closing number. a good line
OF small patter helps put the act
across.

GERMANS BURY DEAD
IN PAPER SHR0UDS
AMSTERDAM.

AMSTERDAM, June s. The
Kreuz ZeItUng of Berlin publishes
an appeal by the German imperial
clothing office for the abandon
ment of the traditional practice of
using fine materials in clothing the
dead before burial. The cloth
ing office says that such material
which is indispensable in war times
has thus been withdrawn from the
use of the community and suggests
that, in view of the pressing neces-
sity for economy OF woven and
knitted wares. the dead should be
clothed in paper shrouds.
The imperial office also recon-
mends the use of paper for the flu
neral pillow case. lit recognizes
that compliance with these sugges-
tions may be painful. but urges that
patriotism enjOins il. Clothing the
dead in shoes and stockings also is
declared 20 be quite uncalled for
in the existing circumstances.

TOXIC, June sE"Bureaucratic

means of Old-fashioned ideas and
exploded doctrines" asserted Mar
quis Shigenobu Okuma, the former
premier and opponent of the pres
ent Terauchi administration, in
commenting upon the political stu
alton in Japan and the recent cleo
ton. In this election the Terauchi
government was victorious.
Absence of a strong controlling
power was most seriously felt in
Japan, added Marquis Okuma The
consequence was, in his opinion,
that the people have no fixed or
stable political views and change
their opinions With chameleOn-lik
rapidity.

AGED WOMAN BURNED
 TO DEATH IN HARTFORD
Sister, Aged 70, Tries to Save Her and Is Now
 in Hospital. \

Hartford, Oct. 31.-Mrs. Frances F. Spencer, S2 years old, was burned to death at her home No. ' Bucking- ham street today. Her sister, Miss Martha Loomis, 70 years of age, died little later at the Hartford hospital as @ result of her desperate efforts to rescue her sister from flames which enveloped the aged woman from head to foot. Just how Mrs. Spencer's clothing caught fire in a room on the second floor of the two-story brick dwelling will never be learned as Mrs. Spencer died a few minutes afterward Miss Loomis and another sister, Mrs. Henrietta
 Martin, were on the lower floor when suddenly Mrs. Spencer, who was alone on floor above, cried out that she was on fire. The two women ran up
 the stairs, Miss Loomis in the lead.
 She tried, in vain, to beat out Mrs. Spencer's blazing clothing with her hands. In another moment Miss Loomis herself was in flames. The screams of the three women were heard outside and an alarm of fire was turned in from a nearby box.
