Clearing the Trenches.

From Leslies.
Perhaps the hardest thing to learn Is
to clear the enemy's trenches after a
foothold has been gained in portion
of it. This is where the hand-to-hand
lighting comes in and 1t is the work Of
the grenadiers, seconded by the grenade
bearers. They must advance from en-
brasure to embrasure ten yards ahead
of them into the next section Of trench
and drive the enemy. back along the
trench or down into the dugouts. As
they move forward, they must clear the
dugouts, throwing grenades, down the
steep stairs, often twenty to thirty
yards underground, then descending
into the pitchy blackness to send their
grenades searching into every corner
of the dugout. not to leave an effective
enemy behind them.

Genius is no respecter of persons. A
great gift is intrusted to a human soul
irrespective of material surroundings
and the halls of fame are crowded
with names which have risen from the
obscurity of the rank and file of grind
ing poverty. We are too prone to preen
ourselves upon making such discov-
cry or find, forgetting that the touch of
the Master Sculptor will make itself
seen in due time with or without our
puny assistance.

it was that Gilbert Carroll received at
fourteen his first professional inter

PEACE MEETING Is
RAIDED BY MOB
Pacifists Swept Off Feet by
Patriots Despite Police
Guard

Baltimore April 2.-After the
greatest patriotic demonstration this
city has seen since the Spanish
American war, a crowd of 1000 per-
sons stormed the Academy of Music
last night, swept a Gordon of police
aside and smashed a big pacifist meet
ing to bits, stopping DR.. David Starr
Jordan in the middle of a word and
refusing to allow the speaking to
continue.
Police reserves from all over the
city were called out and broke up the
crowd with their clubs, beating sew
eral young men numerically and ar
resting two wagon loads.
One man, Douglas G.. Ober, was so
badly beaten that he had to be taken
to a hospital. The other five arrested
were Carter G. Osburn, Jr., Allison
Muir, William Upton, Leonard Ober
and Louis Merriman, Cockeysville, Md.
Just as DR.. David Starr Jordan was was
beginning his plea for peace, the
crowd of anti-pacifists, composed OF
business men, professors of schools
and colleges in the city, and students
from the same, made sally through
a Gordon of police, rushed down the
aisle of the theatre to the stage, Where
they demanded that the meeting cease.
In the front ranks were professor
Robert w. Wood, of Johns Hopkins
University; Professor John ii. La

asked.
"Yes. mann. I got it off Pop" was
the answer.

an actor and possessed a voice, but the
most adroit questioning could not
bring to light that he had played in
anything but 'Uncle Toms Cabin" the
music possibilities of which are scarce

Carroll took in sufficient money to
open little bank account from which
he has been able to buy his own

day evening, but all business has it's
competition, and a street corner evan

up singing in the open.

hands in his trouSer pockets he COM
piled. The clear soprano took up the
words of "Silver Threads Among the
Gold" and the air of the little room
throbbed and vibrated with the power
and volume of the boys voice. His
listener thought of what he had been
called, the second John Mccormack"
and thought how very like the great
tenor's was the full rich rounding of
the notes.
Unlike many boys of artistic bent,
Gilbert Carroll is a good student,
carrying an average of rs per cent.
to 20 per cent in his school work. But
his ambition does not lie along the
line of books.
What kind of a man would you
rather be?" he was asked.
"a great singer" was the instant
reply.

best known choirmasters wrote to the
