Little Chance For Dodging Modern
High Velocity Bullets.

High Velocity Bullets.
Although under the altered condi-
tionS OF modern warfare both officers
and men take all the cover they can
get. it is still considered bad form" to
duck when bullets are whistling or
shells screaming overhead.
This is survival of the old Crimean
DAYS, when men were actually punished
for ducking bullets in battle. That the
service tradition was not always strict
ly observed even then, however, is APP
parent from a story told of d grlzzled
old veteran who. on being remOnStrat-
ed with by Il young corporal for indul-
gence in this very practice, replied, Its
all very we'll for you, m'lad, but I'm a
family man." and continued to duck at
each report.
1t is OH record, too, that Napoleon
strongly objected 20 it, and on one Occa-
sion he even went to the length of
publicly reprimauding one Of his staff
officers for STOPPING over his horses
neck in order to avoid the balls he
heard whistling over his head.
Genefal bOfuol, no mean duLhoA ltsf
was of a different opinion, though.
Writing i'll his journal, he says, For
my part. | do not consider jud1cious
durhing to be fault. for 1 remember
on two occasions seeing shells before
my eyes which certainly, had 1 not
bodied. would have taken off my head"
Needless to say, however, it would
be impossible to dodge a modern high
velocity projectile i'll this free and easy
fashion. 1t cannot be seen, and by the
time it is heard the danger is past

BANKS LOAN" MONEY.
They Don't Lend" 1t Because IL 10 q
Business Transaction.

they DON'T LenQ' IL because TX ~ u
Business Transaction.
Why is it banking houses always
loan their huge sums of money, new
er by any chance lend" them? Lend
is the true verb, while loan" was ex-
slusively the noun. How came it about
that ito loan" has uniformly supplant-
ed Ito lend:'
The purists make a great fuss about
this. They insist that the stupid and
untaught financial world has foiSted
upon the language a substantive verb
when no new verb was needed, when
the ancient and established usage was
fixed in the Specification Of Ito lend"
But prior to the modern development
of business enterprise when money
was lent it was bestowed upon the b0r-
rover either for temporary use with
out compensation. as a mark Of favor
or patronage. or by the professional
money lender who, taking advantage
of persons in eXtremities of need, de-
manded uSuriouS interest. This Anglo
Saxon verb today retains its ancient
connotation. When it was coined the
productive powers Of money We're un-
known and the wealth of rich men
was locked up for safety and kept out
of the channels of commerce.
Nowadays. 10y devices of credit and
rapid intercommuMfcation, it is kept
constantly working i'll productive en-
terprises. Immense loans are made, no
longer to relieve the necessitous and
the improvident, but to stimulate in
dustry and to enable the borrower as
well as the loaner to reap profit in his
transactions. Money is loaned in this
sense. 1t is not lent.-New York Times

Prusse was of a retiring disposition

CAREER SEEKING WOMEN.
One Hundred a Day Flock to New
York Tempting Fate.


York Tempting Fate.
One hundred women a day come ca
reer seeking in New York city. This Is
the figure furnished by Director G. B.
Barns of the state bureau Of employ
ment. He bases his estimate upon the
number of women handled daily by
the Travellers Aid, the number regis
tered at hotels and those registered by
the state bureau and other employ.
ment agencies.
One hundred women a day. $1,000
year. A fraction over four every hour;
approximately one every time the min
ute hand crosses the fifteen minute
mark.
Mr.. Barns estimates that large per-
centage of career seekers come from up
state and towns about New York and
New Jersey. Probably so per cent, ne
says. come from western states. The
smallest portion Of the number comes
from the south. Some succeed; more
fail. Yet always others come, answer
ing the call of the minute hand as 1t
mills round and round like the finger
of Fate, beckoning.
Statistics are impersonaL They say
nothing of who the women are nor why
they come nor what they find instead
of what they expect. They don't say
there's tragedy in a head shake. And
a laugh round the edge Of tragedy.
Statistics haven't told the whole
story. They do not say that hope,
promise, disaster wait hundred times

DRAFTED ARMY
GOES TO CAMP
Over 100000 Men
Their Homes.
NEXT MOVE TO FRANCE
Equipment and Supplies Are Coming
Rapidly. Although Soldiers Must
Wear Own Overcoats.

Washington. Sept. 19.--MarShaled
for the last TIME as civilians and I'M
der civilian authority, more than 300,
900 men OF the national army went
forward today TO the sixteen canton
ments to be trained for the battle
against German autoclacy.
Their next move will be as lighting
men tow lrd the battletields OF France
The whole nation will be astir with
the movement of the selective forces
The men represent approximately
40 per cent OF the total quota under
the first call from each of nearly o0O0
local boards. Already at the camps
is the advance guard of per cent
OF the fetal. composed of experienced
men, including cooks. Out OF this has
been created a skeleton organ cation
into which the second increment will
begin to be absorbed with little con-
fusion. When the Gast men of this IN
crement arrive the camps will house
half of the first call forces, of 43,3oH
men. and the other half will follow as
rapidly as quarters and equipment
are made available.
In a statement the war department.
says the enormous task OF obtaining
equipment and supplies for the army
is moving satisfactorily. Some or the
men Of the national army may be
ONLY partially equipped for some time
after they are mcbiliZed, and no at
tempt will he made to furnish them
with full war equipment until the eve
of their derarture for Europe. Some
civilian clothing such as overcoats.
will have to he used for long time
as the clot ing industry has not as
vet caught mp wit its work.
With the mobilization of one-half OF
the GS7 600 men of the first call under
the sele"tive service law in progress,
the question arises as to whether that
number Of men will be sufficient TO
fill all units o. The national guard and
national army There are indications
that a deficiency in men will he dis
closed when offrial reports from all
the thirty wo training camps are
available
Seventeen divisions of the national
guard have heen organized, but with
the exception Of the New York, Penn
sylvania and a few others and the
forty-second division, which soon will
embark for France, they are not at
maximum war strength. The fighting
strength of the seventeen divisions
under the new tables of organization
would be $4,000 men, supplemented
by many thousands of auxiliary
troops. Whatever deficiencies there
are will be supplied promptly from
the national army as the guard viii
GO first to the front.
Since the president called the first
$4,000 men of the national army, the
signal IA 81 u & =
section, has been greatly expanded.
Nearly 100000 additional men must
be transferred 10 this service alone.
The medical corps also has been
greatly increased. and numerous nee
essarv auxiliary units for immediate
duty abroad, not thought of when the
call was made. have been organized.
Hhere enlisted men of the guard o.
the regular army have been taken
their places will have to be filled
with national army men.
