TOMORROW USHERS IN
100, 00OTH WEEK OF
The CHRISTIAN ERA

Tomorrow will be the 10O0OOth Sunday of
the Christian era
Atho Sunday will be the first day of the
100,000th week, however, it will not be the
100,000th Christian festival of the Sabbath.
The ambiguity is due to doubt about the
year 4 A. d., as to whether it was a leap year.
In the first half century following the re-
form of the calendar by Julius Caesar in As
b. c., there were some irregularities in daily
calculations There is still dispute, therefore,
as to which of the years between As B. G. and
A A. ID. were leap years.
Most authorities however, agree A. d. 8
was the first leap year On this hypothesis
Jan. l A. ID. was Sunday and July 8, 1917,
becomes the first day of the 1000O0th week of
our era.

American Troops In France Will Build
Roads, Perhaps Read Omar Khayyam
They'll Probably Have to
Lie in Shell Craters to
Write Letters Home,
and Fight Lonesomeness
By Kenneth w. Payne
IyondOn Correspondent of The


Times.)
AT THE BRITISH FRONT, in
France, July This is a Dashed
in ditch, where make these
notes, twisting around the edge
of a sun-baked shell-cratered
mountain of mud.
IL was IA trench belonging to
Fritz only short time ago. Now
some London Tommies inhabit IL,
but their lease is of such a short
duration they haven't troubled to
repair it.
The boys lounging around in
the ditch here have been sent
back after their fight to rest up.
The whole atmosphere of the
place is loneliness, ennui. irk-
some leisure. Nothing to do,
nothing new to see, only lots of
time in which to be lonely and
to think!
Read Classics.
No wonder Tommy grows seri-
Gus, and develops surprising
traits Of thoughtfulness. Take
his reading for example. 1t isn't
the cheap, light stuff he takes to.
The better class of fiction is what
he wants-Steyenson, Scott. Dick
ems, Barrie, Wells, Bennett, Kip
ling.
Those who dole out the
books tell me, however,
there Is AN astonishing de-
mand also for works of
history, philosophy and
essays. Emerson, Ruskin,
Carlyle and Macaulay are
prominent in TOmmy's list.
And, in poetry, the univer-
sal standby of the trenches
seems to he the Rubaiyat of
Omar Khayyam!
The village in whose ruins so
many of their comrades fell is a
CHASTITY reddish-brown heap of
bricks, the whole landscape turned
into a treeless desert potted with
shell craters so close together
their rims overlap.
EEl Craters With Villages.
Across this waste, generally of
mud, new roads must be built
Even if there is a vestige of the
old road left, the new road can't
make use of it, for the German
gunners have it marked, and fir
ing by the map could make it i'm
passable.
And here's where the joke
is on the Boche. BY means
of a great mine, he converted
every crossroads all along the
front into huge mine era
ter big enough to engulf a
couple of lorries and half
dozen flivvers.
But he also INDUCED i'm the
worse than futile occupation
of blowing up all villages.
Now there is almost always
village near the cross
roads. So Tommy simply
takes this villages heaped-
up remains and dumps them
into the mine crater!
Everywhere behind the front
soldiers are today filling in these
mine craters, keeping old roads
in repair, and building new ones
across wastes of muddy battle
fields-that's the kind of soldier
ing our men are going to find
over here. All under a beating
hot sun or else in mud and rain.

GERMAN EXPLANATION
SATISFIES IRIGOYEN

BUENoS AIRES, Oct. 1.-Presi-
dent Irigoyen considers Germany's
explanation of the Luxburg incident
satisfactory, and will wirnlly adhere
to course of neutrality, according
to a detailed outline of his position,
the national juvenile committee an
nounced. Irigoyen insists the United
States cannot drag Argentine into the
war. He announced he would soon
call a congress of American neutrals
to decide on a united war stand.
The juvenile committee contends the
national honor wes offended by Lux
burg. German explanations were un-
satisfactory. Irigyen declared Argen-
tine. if entering the war, would be
charged with being guided with the
gertrude of victory. The juvenile
committee plans to redouble its pro-
ally propaganda.

PLAYED LOTTERY ON i
HIS WOUNDS AND WON


| Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }
ROME. Sept. s.-CBy MaII) A
black haired soldier dropped into tho
state lottery office at Brescia, hesi-
tating before the busy clerk while
vainly trying to think of lucky num-
bers."
20, play on your wound, 1t may
bring you luck advised the impa-
tient clerk. glancing at the silver
tape on the soldiers arm which in
dicated that he had been wounded
at the 'front.'
The clerk got out the soothsaying
book and between them they inter-
preted the wound In lucky num-
bers." The date and zone of the bat
tie. the nature of the bullet and the
feelings Of its victim. all had their
numerical equivalents.
Il don't want to win for myself
the soldier remarked I'm think
Think of what the money would mean
to them. Madonna mai, bless my
numbers"
The soldier risked forty cents on
the magic formula, far more than he
could really afford. Say, just jOt
my numbers down and send my win
nings to my wife and babies, if 1
don't come back from the Carso," he
told the lotteryman. The clerk jot-
ted the soldiers numbers in a note
book and turned to several talkative
peasants.
The drawings were held under the
eve of Italian officialdom. The next
day the clerk remembered the SOL
iier and referring to his notebook
discovered that the wounded stran-
ger had won $4,000.
