Chestnuts to AidfWar.

British children all over the country
wherever the chestnut tree grows are
gathering horse chestnuts as told in
the Christian Science Monitor. 1t is
their particular contribution to the
winning Of the war, for ripe horse
chestnuts have been discovered to pro-
vide a good substitute for the grain
which is used in the making of NUM-
lions. 1t will be quite valuable serv-
Ice, for the computation is that every
ton of chestnuts will save half a ton
of grain. The gathering is organized
by committees in connection with the
schools, and woods and lanes see
bands of young patriots enjoying their
"war work" hugely.

RUINED CITIES OF FRANCE
Many of Them RSve Taken on a
Character Of Permanently, So End.
less Does War Sc en- to People.

There is new kind of city on earth
city that has taken on for the people
of northern France almost q character
of permanency, so endless is this war.
I People have lived through so much
SHINE August, 1914 that they seem to
themselves to have been always at
war, and, looking forward, they see
nothing but long years of warfare. The
ruined cities such as Arras have be-
come part of the natural order of
things, and the strange life in them has
come to seem a natural sort of life.
Towns like this are found by the score
where the slow pressure of the allies
Is forcing the Prussian back, says a
war correspondent.
They are the towns that have been
bOmbarded and bOmbarded again,
taken and retaken, assaulted and cap
tured, and cannonaded by those who
held them the day before. until 1t is a
marvel that one brick remains on an
other. They are full of ruined houses
and shattered quarters of all degrees
of destruction, and, stranger than all,
they have blocks and sections that by
some miracle escaped.
Here is row of houses that might
be in the far South, 200 miles from the
battle front. The shutters are up and
the streets are deserted, as though the
people were late in rising Here is a
public square pitted with ShellhOles,
one side frOnted by row of buildings,
whole save for broken windows. the
other bounded only by shapeless
masses Of brick and stone. Here and
there slow smoke curls upward from
some gnawing fire. A hundred yards
away there may be n stubborn family
still occupying its Old home, but no
body puts out the fire. The civilians
are too hopeless and the soldiers are
too busy.
And here is a house with the front
sliced off by shell and the rooms still
all in Order-a strange spectacle-with
beds and bureaus and chairs and tables
all in order, as though some enterpris-
ing furniture dealer had undertaken
new and ambitious form of window
display. For the most part the noblest
buildings, the churches and public halls
and the lowered relics of the Gothic
period are gOne-they furnish too easy
Il mark for the rangefinder. And ever
and again duh crash tells of another
smell carrying on the barbaruus work.

Something might be said of the
changes that three years of war have
brought about in our clothes, says the
Manchester Guardian. Evening dress
Is not abolished, but It is becoming
much less customary In theatcrS and
restaurants, and people coming up to
London who used TO bring evening
clothes with them no longer do so.
sim white collars are disappearing,
and the soft collar is worn by all
classes. The democratic process had
already set in at the house of COM
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr., Ecir IIardies cloth cap created
On IT'S first appearance there, but it
loE advanced Immensely since the war
began Frock coats are in small and
diehard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive mirac-
ulouslN it might seem, until one re-
members their enduring qualities, so
that their persistence is only Il form
N var economy after all.

Despite the war the permanent wilC

that it takes many hunters out Of the
field and has raised the average price
of guns and ammunition about 80 PEI
cent, making hunting what it is rapidly
becoming in this country, anyways

The wild life protection fund, in its
literature and the lectures of its cam.
paignlng trustee, William #. Horna
day of the New York geological park
is seeking 10 spread the idea that the
spOrtsmen must act to save the game
that they are robbing themselves and
future generations if they do not. This
idea has been well set forth in . pos.

with determination and success to save

Another difficulty in the path of

The fact which the average sports

no matter how much it is protected.
For example, in 1884 the buffalo hunt

always be plenty of buffalo. In 1885
they went out to hunt them and there
was none. 1t took them two years to
realize the fact that the buffalo wac

OF course the buffalo has been over

nininn With the Private.

II has come at last-the olfense of
an officer dining in public with Il pri-
vate. It was bound to come, soon or
late. The present writer, notes the
London Daily Chronicle, met not long
ago a private In uniform and two men
in muft. OF the two, one who should
have been wearing the uniform of a
second lieutenant, explained: "Prlvate

Blind Belief.

Swedish Consul Gustavus Swan said.
in discussing the war:
"The exposures from Buenos Aires
show that Germany believes alps fair
In love and war. Germany duped my
own government no less than the Ar

Germany, 1t is clear, believes alps
fair In love and war as blindly as
scientists believe in facts. Hence she
goes horribly wrong, like the eminent
New England scientist wrote TO Tenny-
son one day:

to Finish on Present Oper-
ating Company.

That a prominent lawyer Of Tulsa
approached him yesterday with al
offer 10 accept street car franchise
in 1Slsa, regardless OF the fact that
two concerns are already in the iIeIo,
was the statement last night Of city
Attorney Meserve.
President Bosler OF the Tulsa street
railway. who came from his home I'm
Dayton Tuesday for a conference with
the Chamber of Commerce and city
han Joint committee, left last night
He expressed the opinion that the
conference produced no results.
I'VE viii 20 ahead with double
tracking OF our existing lines" said
Mr.. Boslcr before departing. "and
will install ten new cars just as sOui,
as they are completed. Whenever the
city lifts the objections 10 our six
proposed extensions we Will build
them, as the material is on the grounu.
We Will not accept a new franchise
based on the city charter. The char
ter VIII have to be amended before a
franchise could be issued that would
be satisfactory to US. We are not
seeking this ourselves. We cannot
build any new lines until a new fran
Chise is issued.
Different Opinion.
"a franchise based on the present
charter" declared CITY Attorney Me-
serve. would be good franchise.
Mr.. Bosler is talking up his sleeve.
One of the best lawyers in the City
came 30 me today and said he had Il
client who would accept francnisr
without the charter being amended.
II he should procure the franchise ne
would build iuterurban lines 20 Okla

think II would be "A fine thing 10 get
someone like that In the field here.
Competition between the three ,u,.i
panies might result in the city get
ting the service II deserves"
That the Tulsa Street Railway COM
pany may ultimately go into court to
contest the right OF the city to pre-
vent other extensions from being Dui't
was intimated by Mr. Bosler before he
left the city.
Legal Question.
I'VE filed with the city an applica-
tion 10 build an extension on Utica on
April G." he said I'VE purposely fiIcu
II on that date as on April 3 the con
struction rights in our franchise eX-
pired The franchise provided that
after ten years no new lines could be
built. We contend that this does not
prevent us from extending lines that
existed prior To April 8 This ques-
ton may be taken TO court. II We ara
upheld we will not need n new fran
chise to make extensions"
