on which long lines of men in khaki
have already begun to sweep with
military precision. Looking for the
Three Hundred and Tenth ones au-
tomobile comes suddenly to spot
where the road seems to fall into a
pit, so sudden and so abrupt is the
drop. Down that hill and up slight
rise is the Three Hundred and Tenth,
tall trees standing on much of the
site, although it has its parade
ground, and the field guns its men
will use against the kaiser's armies
are drawn up in semi-circular form
on it, menacing grey things.
When one has reached the build
ings and started TO explore them one
finds them very much more extern
sive than they looked. One is piled
from floor to ceiling with thick warm
comforts for the beds of the men.
One is crammed with uniforms and
clothing. Each man gets two pairs
of shoes. one of thick horsehide for
rough work, one dressy pair for pa
rade. He gets heavy underwear,
heavy outer clothes, heavy overcoat
and raincoat, not a mere poncho,
but a raincoat which buttons down
to his feet. They've got all these
things now, since Col. Moore is of
that order of commander who goes
after things for his men and gets
them.
They have been in camp for only
Il matter of weeks, this organization,
but one can see the edge beginning
on them. There is better tutor in
the army than Col. Moore, and that
edge will grow. Presently they will
go Hp before the eye of Gen Andrew
Hero. Jr.. the youngest-looking
snappiest brigadier of artillery in the
whole army.
And since the home folks may be
interested in knowing whether their
boys are in this outfit, which undou-
Otedly will be known in the future as
crack organization, here is the list
N the counties from which they
come: Worcester, Howard, Caroline
Wicomico, Kent Dorchester, Anne
Arundel, Talbot, Charles, Queen
Anne's. St. Mary's. Hartford, Somer
set. Calvert and Cecil.

| Camp Meade, Oct. 13.-One Of
these days the men of the Three
Hundred and Tenth Field Artillery
are going to think of themselves as
a regiment of the United States Ar
my. When that day comes-and it
isn't far distant-there will be no
more chesty bunch in the whole
Seventy-ninth Division than those. l.
400 lads from the rural districts Of
Maryland, chiefly from the Eastern
Shore.
Because, for one reason, the War
Department in picking the officers OF
this command, from Col. Dan T.
Moore, the commander, right down
the list, has picked crack men. Col
Moore, six feet tall, weighing close
to 200 pounds, with the carriage OF
man who knows his job down to
the ground and a good-humored lgh,
in his Snappy brown eyes, is West
Pointer and a veteran of three years
actual service in the field maneuyers
with the German army. He was a
member of the general staff and OF
the faculty of the Army War College
when he was sent to the Three Hun
dred and Tenth and he is one of the
D6SI VI tue dl LlilcIy SApClto III thc
American army.
The list of officers who surround
him include such men as Capt. j. w.
| Keller, commander of Battery A, a
quiet, self-contained, competent Re-
serve Corps man from Delaware
county, Pa, who has had banker
! ing for military career all his life
and who, before the Kaiser broke
loose, back in 1908, 1909 and 1910,
was wandering about Europe making
friends with French and Italian Ar
my officers and learning many things
J which will be useful to him now;
Captain J. w. Diamond, master of
| the sword in one of the army train
ing schools, a cavalryman of much
experience who looks like he had
been born in uniform and wouldn't
know what to do out of one; Lieut..
H. B. Hare, a hard-riding fox hunter
in the days of peace, whose father is
the only American who has ever been
master of hounds of an English hunt
club; Lieut.. II. S. Middendorf, one
of the two six-foot twin sons of J.

KAISER FIXED
DATE FOR WAR
Decision Reached Before Assassina-
tion of Crown Prince, Says Nor
genthau.

tBy Henry Morgenthau, former Am
baSsador to Turkey
New York, Oct. 14.-This war is
no accident. Neither did it come
about through the temporary break
down of European diplomacy. 1t
was carefully planned and deliber-
ately. executed in cold blood.
The spirit and motive behind it
were the spirit and motive that brou-
ght about the war between Prussia
and Denmark, the war between Prus-
sia and Austria, and the war be-
tween Prussia and France.
It was undertaken in the further
ance of a definite program of Prus-
sia Imperialism. Premeditation is
now proved, and any American who
withholds evidence becomes an ac-
cess0ry after the fact that Germany's
crime. :,
Whenever the question of peace is
raised, the Kaiser solemnly asserts
that he did not will this war, but
that.Rith: the help of the good Ger
man God, he will see it through to
the end.
He did will this war, and he brou-
ght it about when it suited his pur-
poses and his preparations. The Ser
bian incident was more than an ex-
cuse. 1t was an opportunity.
On August Is, 1914, as American
Ambassador at Constantinople, L
called on the Marquis of Pallavicini,
the; Austro-Hungarian Ambassador,
to congratulate him on the Emper-
or's. Saith birthday. After exchang-
ink the usual DIPLOMATIC compli-
ments suitable to such an occasion,
he spoke of the condition of the
Emperor's health and his great phys
icaf and mental activity in spite of
the; strain to which he was subjeo-
ted.
The conversation then turned to
the war, which was in its third
week, and His Excellency told me

William Middendorf, of this city,
who, rowing in the Harvard eight in
the Henley regatta one month before
the European war began, left the
Cambridge and the Oxford and all
other crews far in the rear and brou-
ght the Grand Challenge Cup to
America for the first time in its his
tory.
When the men from the Eastern
Shore, who like quality, and those
from the Western Shore, who like it
no less, get up to the quality of the
officers who have been given them
they are going to square their shoul-
ders and ride their guns into the
field with a snap which will not be
excelled in all the American legions,
being possessed of some quality
themselves. There is a private in
the ranks of the Three Hundred and
Tenth who was a teacher of German
at Johns Hopkins University before
the draft got him and whose know
ledge of languages is not limited to
German. The mess sergeant of one
of the batteries is a Dickinson Col
lege man from Pocomoke City, Md,
who was preparing to become a cler-
ors There are numbers of farmers
who titled their own acres and were
their own masters.
Officers and men, the Three Hun
dred and Tenth is all there. Once
it becomes conscious Of itself the
public is going to hear from it. All
the men need is to begin to feel the
fascination of the army life, the
thrill of the bugle to which they get
up in the morning and to which they
go to bed, the quickening of the
pulse over the rattle of harness, the
clatter of iron gun carriages and ths
roll of wheels as the guns sweep up
in line for drill. Esprit de corps
they are going to have as sure as the
sun rises and sets. They can't help
it with the outfit they've got.
There is no regiment here which is
just now so inconspicuous before the
eyes of the average visitor to the
camp. That is because they occupy
a site back in the woods beyond and
to the right of General Kuhn's heao
quarters as one goes up the main
road. The road to their widely scat
tered group of buildings, barracks,
post exchange, messhall, officers
quarters, stables, and regimental
headquarters, is one of the hardest
and one of the best in the camp.
Elsewhere the timber is cut and
nothing interferes with the sweep of
the eye. One looks for miles and
sees group after group of buildings.

Why Shoe Prices Are High
tBoston Advertiser. }

In spite of shoe factories working
on reduced time and warehouses
bulging with feathers for which there
is little demand We have the curious
phenomenon of retail prices for shoes
staying up on absurd levels and
! threatening to advance rather than
decline. What is the explanation?
Women, we are told. The refu-
sal OF women TO adopt plain stand
ard styles. Their insistence on fancy
designs in fancy colors, and their
habit of changing their minds with
out notice The inability Of manu-
facturers to know what kind of de-
mand to anticipate, in which state
of perpleXity they play safe by tax
ing no chances. Interviewed by the
Brooklyn Eagle. one manufacturer
said:
The women won't decide what
they are going to wear. The embar-
90 on black kid has forced a break
in that market and we can get 1t at
half what we had to pay month
ago. But women won't wear black
kid Even the Washerwoman when
she goes to get pair of shoes won't
buy plain black ones. Shebuys a
pair of fancy ones a little out OF
style at a sale"
Tan calf, such as is used in wo-
mems shoes and boots, this manu-
facturer said, is costing as high as
6S cents a square foot. 1t takes
four square feet to make the uppers
of pair of high shoes, so that with
the eyelets, cloth and other material
there is nearly So worth of raw ma
terial in calf shoe before the sole
is on. Thus, plus the labor and 9TH
er things, makes a shoe that must
sell at high price. The manufac-
turer continued:
It's a style game now. Eighty
five per cent. of the increase IN the
cost of shoes is due to the fad for
fancy glazed shoes. We used to be
able to manufacture several lines of
staple shoes and be sure that we
were going to get rid of them. Now
we cannot make any staple lines or
shoes at all. If new line does not
sell heavily in 10 days we get panic
ky, unload it at anything we can get,
and try to make up the loss ON The
next line. A new style sweeps over
the country in day"
All of which is very interesting
but it somehow ceases to be convinc-
: ing when you start to price the shoes
for men Most men are content to
wear standard style of shoe. They
choose a last which fits and stick to
it. Does that bring any relief from
the high prices? If SO, we haven't
been able to notice it. What is the
explanation?

Under normal conditions most birds
probably bathe daily, and canaries in
captivity should be allowed the same
opportunity When individual birds OBJ
stinately refuse to enter the water
gentle spraying usually will induce
them to bathe.
Small china dishes that are not too
deep make good bathing pans. When
bird becomes accustomed to one dish 1t
usually will refuse to bathe in another
one OF different shape and color. In
winter the water should be warmed IN
til tepid. Even in warm weather too
cold water Is not advisable. If the
room, ordinarily warm, becomes cold
temporarily, birds should not be allow
Ell TO battle.
During molt the bgth should be given
not more than twice each week. When
breeding the female canary should not
be allowed to battle from the time the
eggs hatch until the oung are three or
four days old.-Unite1 States Depart
