| SEE AGREEMENT
To AVERT Strike
Will Offer Compromise to
Managers in New York
Next Thursday.

l. Washington, March 13-The grim
| spectre of a nationwide strike of the
! four big railway brotherhoods is
| standing in the background of the
grave International situation.
Whether a strike will be ordered
depends on the outcome Of the con-
ference arranged for Thursday Of
! this week in New York between the
grand chiefs of the four brother
| hoods and the Conference Committee
of railroad managers.
The brotherhood chiefs do not want
to call a strike of their 100000 fol-
lowers in the face Of the submarine
crisis. They hope it will not be neces-
sary to do so.
Should strike be called definite
arrangements will be made to move
everything required by the United
States government lin order that
President Wilson may. not pc. en-
barrassed. .
Chiefs Will Seek Compromise

gincers; w. S. Carter Of the ~Docomo
tive Fireman land Fpginemen, and L

NEWEST OF AIR HAZARD
"Barrage Dumping" Described as Elk
perience That Tries Soul Of
an Aviator.

London.-"Barrage humping" is a
new phase of air work which has de-
veloped with the war.
After the British have gained
ground their artillery opens a furious
barrage fire against the territory be-
hind the German lines to prevent re-
endorsements from coming up for a
counter-attack
Aviators are sent out to fly over the
German positions and ascertain their
condition and strength. AS the ma
chimes are compelled to fly at a low
altitude to get a good view, they nat
urally have to pass through the shells
from their own artillery. This is
known as 'barrage humping"
One has to be call man" to go
through many "barrage humping" ex-
PLOTS without losing his nerve. In ad-
dition to the shells of his own guns
the German high angle artillery is
pumping shrapnel at him as fast as
the gunner can load and fire, and
usually he is low enough for the in
fantry to peck away at him with
rifles.
The machine is usually kept at an
altitude Of about 800 feet and it sways
and bounds in the bumps" in the air
caused by the passing projectiles.
The noise is appalling. Aviators say
the guns sound as though they were
only q few yards away.

Port Chester, N. Y.-Mrs. Mary Au-

the following January, when he for

Mrs. Woodcock divorced the chauf-

had been paying her much attention.
One admirer called himself count; an
other was a well-known Manhattan at

Also there is a gymnasium and a fully

Earn Money on Side.
Many Of the men earn money other
than their pay by doing odd jobs for
their fellows. There is a letter writer

burning love letter to a young woman
for a mate who finds 1t less easy to
express himself. Over in Camp Paul

interest. Mrs. Moffett, wife of the

three small sons, tries to take a moth

she has direction of the caring for the
needy families in the middle West of
officers and enlisted men of the navy

frequently offering bits of kindly ad-
vice simultaneously.

the idea that he, personally, must make

SQUIRRELS HAVE WAR CROP
When Green Peanuts Were Given
Them in Madison They Planted
Them.

Madison, Wis.-The squirrels in the
capitol park evidently knew it was
necessary to grow war crop this
year. Last spring someone gave the
squirrels green peanuts-not the fine
hot-roasted peanuts they like. Did
they eat them? Not on your life.
They had been listening to all that
food Of~ Oratory that came from the
open legislative windows about the ne
cessity Of large war crop; how peo-
pie might starve for lack of food, and
the like. SO they planted those green
peanuts.
Now Superintendent of Public Prop
erty NJ. f. Blumenfeld is exhibiting
the fine crop of peanuts grown in the
Capitol park from nuts planted by the
squirrels.

One Of the shortest cummings up
on record is believed to be that by the
:iate Commissioner Kerr at the Old
Bailey In case where a man was
charged with being in the unlawful
possession of gold watch and chain.
The appearance of the prisoner Ger.
stainly did not correspond with the lie.
lgltimate possession of such costly or
tnaments, but he asserted his innocence
OF the charge. and declared that he
had found the watch and chain on the
.pnvement.
The judge looked at the man In the
dock and then at the men in the box.
''Gentlemen of the jury" he said.
Il have walked over the pavements of
LoRdon during the last forty years.
and I've never found gold watch and
chain there yet. Consider your YER
diet.
And the verdict was LON
Asson Tt-Biss.
