developed baseball, to exercise our

Far different is the origin Of foot

until the rule makers abolished the fly

game, football is essentially disci-
plined charge, and the activities 1t
calls into play are immeasurably less
ancient than those of baseball.
Why the one game has become the
greatest of professional sports and the
other the peculiar joy of colleges, no
one can say, but SO it Is. Perhaps half
the problem can be solved by recol-
lecting that the college age is the mill
tary age, and takes naturally to q

A ship Is painted with spots which
fade out into glittering and SHIN

The spots are Of light gray and navy

blend with the waves of the ocean.
The indistinct outline which this gives
makes the ship poor target.

SOME KINDS OF sTIMvLAHTs
Alcohol and Wine Favored BY 4srs-
psans, Poppy BY Chinese, ehano
BY the Indians.

When the European is weary he
calls for alcohol to revive him; when
he Is joyful he takes wine. that he
may have more joy. In ike manner
the Chinese woos his ''white lady"
the poppy flower, the Indian chews
bhang, the West African seeks sur
cease in kola. observes a correspond
ent In National Geographical Maga-
zine.
Khat is more to the Yemen Arab
than any of these to its devotees. 1t
Is no narcotic, wooing sleep. but q
stimulant, like alcohol. Unlike al
cohol, it cOnceals no demon. but q
fairy. The khat eater will tell you
that when he follows this fairy 1t takes
him into regions overlooking paradise.
He calls the plant the flower Of para
disc"
How and when khat came into the
Yemen is not certain. Botanists say
that 1t was brought over from Harrar,
in Abyssinia, many centuries ago.
There is a tradition among the wise
men of the East that the sheik Ibra-
him Abou Zarbayn introduced 1t into
Hodeidah from Ethiopia about 143O.
But ask any Yemen Arab and he will
tell you ut has been always. Allah
gave 1t to us in the beginning. to make
US forget labor and pain"
Contrary to the general opinion held
by those who pretend to know any
thing about it at all, khat Is never
used as a beverage in the Yemen. but
the fresh leaves are invariably chewed.
The youngest leaves are the best. They
have a sweetish. slightly astringent
taste, not unpleasant to the European
palate, but certainly not alluring.
When brewed, they lose most Of their
strength and the flavor Of the decoc-
tion is much like that Of those grape
vine cigarettes" which most Of us en-
joyed (O in boyhoOd days. The old
leaves are tough and ought to tan a
leathern tongue.
Just what Is the exact toxic ef-
feet of khat on the human system
has never yet been ascertained. 1t is
certainly a stimulant with lively
and nearly immediate effect upon the
brain and nerve cells; the gloomiest
man becomes cheerful under Its infiu-
ence, the most enervated active. With
al, I have been unable to learn of a
single case of immediate or harmful
reaction such as invariably follows the
use of other stimulants.

StoCkmen and Breeders Appealed to to Make Good Waste of
 the War.
FOR ADEQUATE SUPPLY
Millions Destroyed by the European Conflict Must Be Replaced
 Immediately.

NEW YORK, July 7.-In view of what is believed to be a serious men ace to agriculture and industry re- sulting from the destruction of B. 000,000 horses in the war, the un- precedented export of 1,000,000 head in two years from the United States to warning nations and the present sharp curtailment of live stock pro- duction because of the high cost of feed, Reginald c. Vanderbilt, Presi- dent of the American Hackney Horse Society and the Association of Amer ican Horse Shows. has started a con tinent-wide campaign to increase horse breeding in America.
 An appeal for cooperation was sent to breeders, live stock owners and agricultural societies throughout the United States and Canada At a special meeting of the Hackney Horse Society, called by Mir. Vanderbilt to devise measures for meeting the emergency, resolutions were adopted declaring that the export of horses threatens to assume still greater pro- portions in the near future, and urg ing breeders to use every means to keep up the supply. The resolu tions said
 Abundant harvests are not more vital than an adequate supply of horses, whether in war or peace, but while a single seasons prepara tion can produce a harvest, at least five years are required to produce serviceable horse.
 "It is therefore, of the utmost i'm portance that the American breeders begin at once to replace the millions destroyed in the present war, and to this end this society urges upon az ricultural societies and horse-show as- sociatiOns everywhere the need of using their exhibitions as a means of encouraging breeders
 Among the directors of the socie ty who are cooperating with MT. Van derbilt, in the movement are Fred Pabst, Oconomowoc, Wis. Samuel Insull, Chicago; w. D, Henry, Pitts burgh; John Ashton, Philadelphia William DuPont Wilminton, Del. Daniel J. Driscoll, Reading, Penn. Paul Moore and William Ziegler. New York and Colonel Wesley Allison, Canada.

Every Step in Proposed Advance of European Army Is Gone Over
 Before Battle.
ASSEMBLE FOR FIGHTING
Enemy Is Kept Screened by Artillery Fire Before Maneuver
 Is Executed.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Friday, July 7.-Battles now be- ing fought in Europe are not only planned out in advance to the minutest detail, but are often staged and rehearsed in advance in precisely the same manner that a theatrical performance or motion picture scene is staged and rehears- ed before its first actual perform ance.
 When a battalion, a regiment, a
The Alaska daily empire., 1917-07-07

brigade or even division goes into prepared action now, it is not until every man has been made letter perfect in his part by a ser ics of daily rehearsals that have been enacted under conditions re- sembling as nearly as possible those under which the actual battle is to be fought.
 When the battle itself takes place this analogy to the enacting of a carefully rehearsed drama is even more striking. Up until the mo- ment for the assault the attacking troops are screened from the enemy by curtains of artillery. When the prearranged moment for the launch ing of the attack arrives, this cur tain fire lifts and the troops dash forward. From that moment on un- tol the end of the battle when the same curtain fire of artillery closes down and screens again from the enemy the troops in their newly captured positions every soldier en- acts his carefully rehearsed part
 When the plans for a modern en- gagement have been fully prepared and are ready to give to the troops for rehearsal, there is not a detail or contingency that has been over looked The performance, as it were, must begin at a scheduled moment and every detail must be enacted down to the final curtain of artillery fire as planned by the army staff
 Mathematical Problem.
 This method of staging engage ments in advance has reduced the certainty of winning an attack al- most to mathematical precision and 1t has reduced to an amazing ex- tent the loss of life. Every soldier Knowing just what he has to do, and just how to do it, has vastly more chances of coming out alive than the man who is merely launch- ed to the attack with nothing more than luck in his favor to carry him through
 In staging and rehearsing in ad- vance of battle, efforts are made to obtain ground where just about the same conditions exist as those where the battles will be fought.
 In the new infantry tactics and arms adopted by the French since the beginning of the war there is such variety of weapons as well as such extensive possibilities in their use, that it has been found the best results can be obtained by little preliminary rehearsal ol the men.
 Every man in the French infan- try at the present time is spe- cailist Some are hand grenade thrOwers, some bayonet experts, some portable machine gun men, others rife grenaders or baby can non marksmen.
 Where before the war, soldiers were merely drilled for fighting generally, the French soldier of to- day in addition to being given the most efficient training possible for fighting in general is now drilled and rehearsed for some particular engagement that he is to fight.
