90. H. BOY HERE, SAYS
ALL ARE DOING WELL

First Glass Private Howard Seip OF
Company II stopped In Abilene for q
visit on his way to Fort Sill from
Nebraska, where he was called by the
death of his mother. He said that
the company is generally satisfied
other than the quarantine. Forty
of the company are now out of quar-
antine, but the others must remain
for some time yet. 1t is rumored at
Fort Sill that all troops will be NOV
ed during December or the first of
January.
The report that all the officers are
reduced as soon as they are sent to
the Missouri company, is untrue, he
said. Some will be reduced, but
others will hold their present rank.
The first real rain since Camp Doni-
phan has been located fell Sunday.

nd naval district at Newport, r. /.
is once more open-this time for 2,
90 recruits.

Many men In the reserve who have
shown themselves to be possessed of
the necessary qualifications for off
cership have studied for the regular
examinations, passed, and received
commissions as ensigns and warrant
officers. Perhaps the greatest allure
ment that the restrve force has for
young men lies in the fact of its va
ried kinds of service
A radio school in the district is
ready to prepare men for positions as
wireless telegraphers in our navy.
Other men have successfully ap-
piled for a transfer to the naval re-
serve flying corps.
Every week examinations are held
for those who desire to improve their
ratings.

general service, and if they enlist and
remain in the seaman branches they |

see service In one of the 10 footers,
those small, fast boats that are do
ing scout duty in both these and for

had hard luck. He tried to enter

grounds was compelled to leave

Hereto Sermon Sends French Soldier
SwindIer to Prison for
Year.

Paris.-A soldier named Taillebois
has been sentenced by court-martial to
years Imprisonment and 250 francs
fine for impersOnatlng a Catholic
priest and swindling Catholics.
Taillebois is not a Catholic. He as
sumed the name of Father Henry,
gained the confidence of number Of
priests and parishiOners Of Orleans
and the surrounding country, Otficiated
in several churches and chapels, heard
confessions, administered communion
in many communes, all the while re-
ceiving money for masses and for char
table objects. His downfall came
from an attempt to preach in a church
at st. Jean lie Blanc. The cure of the
commune found his doctrine was not
altogether Catholic and asked for in
formation regarding the wandering
priest from MonsignOr Gibierr bishop
Of Versailles, who exposed the swim
die.

yNMASKED BY WAR CENSUS
Many Men Leading Double Lives or
Hiding Prison Records Unearthed
in New York Canvass.

Scores of men who are leading
double lives have been tripped up by
the police check census, taken some
time ago, of all the dwelling places in
the city, says the New York World.
These men are appealing to Director
Goodrich to know whether they will bs
allowed to register twice, once under
their proper" names and again un-
der the assumed names they employ
at their regular establishments.
Many cases have developed Of the
man without a country" Former
convicts now living respectable lives
have called and said they "lost their
citizenship" and did not dare to affirm
that they were citizens, but their chief
trouble was regarding the citizenship
Of their children, and whether they
would have to reveal their former
lives to their families. They were told
to state they were citizens, as they had
only lost certain Of the rights of citi.
zens.
A man was asked If he was married
and replied: II don't know; the jury
Is still out" Deserted wives have writ
ten in by the score asking for help In
finding their husbands.

Trade Made Palestine Great.

All that made Palestine populous
and prosperous at any time was the
course of trade. The route for ex-
of products between Assyria
and Egypt was over the desert Of
Stony Arabia, through the gaps in the
Lebanon mountains, and over the best
ford of the Jordan. From there the
fine wares of Ispahan and Babylon and
Nineveh were either sent down into
Egypt, or carried few miles. farther
to the ancient city of Acre, which then
had the best harbor on the eastern
coast of the Mediterranean. This pros
perity lasted until the harbor at Acre
began to silt up, and the course Of
trade changed to the north through
Damascus and Antioch. Then Pales-
tine became poor, because the people
went where there were greater oppor-
tunities, as they have to this day.

ELECTRICITY is A Big FACTOR IN WAR

ground. But at smaller distance
there can be wider choice for an
tennae-a kitchen stove, balcony, a
metal bed or the like, or even a BIZ
cycle or an automobile. The operator
may use his own body for the ground
by attaching the metal clip to his fin
ger, while the other clip goes to the
telephone wire. In this way signals
have reached Paris from distance
of no less than 270 miles.
Most interesting of all, perhaps, and
particularly so from n constructive
viewpoint, is the invention of an cleo
trical cOntrivance to remove particles
Of metal from wounds. This has not
come directly from the war, either,
though 1t Is being used there now in
the best of the base hospitals. 1t
came from Pittsburgh, from the fac
tories which have been furnishing
practically all Of the barbed wire for
the allies intrenchments.
This machine Is powerful electric
magnet that is taking the place of
the surgeons painful and perilous
probe, and 1t is one to save countless
lives and untold agony. The removal
Of pieces Of shrapnel, steel-jacketed
bullets and other metal substances
from wounds by use Of powerful cleo
tro-magnets in the war zone hospitals
has been acclaimed as the very latest
application of science to surgery.

Dutch Arc Heaviest Smokers.

How many of us will make the in
creased duty on tobacco jumping off
place for total abstinence? Probably
more in Great Britain that would be
the case, say, in Holland, where the
average smoker consumes four times
as much tobacco as does the English
man, says the London Chronicle.
An ingenious German a few years
ago worked out the rank of countries
in smoking. After Holland, which
takes easily the first place, come Aus
tria, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium
and Germany, Modest places are taxi
en- by France, Sweden and Spain, with
Britain almost at the foot, next to
Italy and Russia. The United States
smoker makes the nearest approach
to the Dutchman's eight ounces with
his consumption Of three ounces a
week.

ROMANS BUILD MANY ROADS
Many of Those In France Have Left
No Traces but Location Of
Others Is Known.

Caesars army marched the 45 miles
sons in one day, fact which proves
the existence of roads in that part
of Gaul. Tin from Cornwall took one
month to reach the RhOne from the
French side of the Channel, the route
being complicated by the necessity for
crossing rivers and mountains Some
of the roads Of old Gaui were mere
cart tracks, which ran through the in
terminable forests, and these have left
no vestige of their presence. But the
direction of some of the roads which
the Romans built is known Two Of
them ran through Paris, forming a
crossroads, one the modern Rues st.
Jacques and st. Martin, and the other,
running in a southeasterly direction,
the Rue st. Antoine and the ia
nous Rue de RivOli.
The direction of the great Via Do
mitiana also is well known. Starting
from Lyons, 1t crosses the Gard
Herault region from northeast to
southwest, and passes over the Rhone
at Aries, running through Mines Pont
Ambrose, SubstantiOn, st. Thibery,
Beziers, and Narbonne, the NarbO
Martius of the Romans, and the city
which Is famed in these days for its
heather honey. Not far from st. Thi-
berry, the Via passes over the Herault
and the Ort,, and then follows the an
cient road of Colombiers and crosses
the Capestand by Roman viaduct, the
Pont Selmis at Pontserme.
