OFFICERS DRIVE GERMANS TO
 BATTLE BBAAfTfftiE
(By United Press)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE FIELD, May 24. - (By Mail. J. Unless the unexpected happens few here look for early peace. Generals speak of plans for the spring and summer of 1918, quite as if the war is to continue for years, so out of dozens of conversations the keynote impress sion is that the United States should push her preparations with as much dispatch as is consistent with eff ciency.
 The most recent German prisoners offer visible and audible proof that German troops are not to be spared if their sacrifice can help the Hohen- zollerns.
 Lean faced prisoners tell of insuf- ficient food, of brutal treatment by their officers, of being driven to the attack by automatic revolvers at their backs. Usually the men accept kicks and blows with a mere inward prom ise to make their tyrants pay in full after the war. A priest in a French village recently retaken from the Ger mans, told me he had seen many cases of bad treatment of men by their su- periors. One day at his house Ger man officer had told him. he said, that German soldiers had to be driven like

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF DIAz
 IS BEING SEARCHED FOR

MEXICO CITY. June G. - Earnest search Is being made for the autobI. ography of Porfirio Diaz, news of which has just come to light here. It Is alleged that Diaz in 1892 completed a book covering his life experiences and administrations up to that time. This book, it is said. he wished made public only after his death. Only 100 copies were struck off. The original manuscript was destroyed by Diaz, it is said, and the 100 copies placed in chest and put away. One of these copies, according to Diaz' directions, was to go to each state governor on Diaz' death, but Diaz died in exile in Spain and the interesting and valuable historical document has not been dis covered.

cattle, and just to illustrate his point he called an orderly to him, struck him powerful blow in the face, so hard in fact that the soldiers eye was black for days afterwards, telling him to fetch something from the kitchen. The soldiers only reply was a quick click of the heels and a rigid salute.
 That's the way to keep them in hand" said the officer to the priest.
 A prisoner just taken from a Grena- dier regiment told of being present in cabaret in Confines with 20 or 30 other Saxon troops, who were singing ribald songs, when six officers en- tered. AS the singing kept up, one of the officers objected, whereupon the tune was changed to shouts of "Raus init him!"
 In the main soldiers let themselves be driven without protest. The Prus- sian ruling class are daily drilling into the masses the idea that the world wishes to annihilate the German peo- pie. Such is the situation in the Ger man army today, as one views it af. ter talking with German prisoners.
 On the other side of the picture one sees the British and French doggedly determined to fight to a knockout if it takes another twelve months or any number of months.
 50 the war promises to be long un- less the German people suddenly see the light. And the United States must hold her part of the line. By the sum- mer of 1918 the American army should have taken over third of the French front.

BUILD UP WAR CORPORATION
TO DO WAR BUSINESS

TO DO WAR BUSINESS
Washington, March %. - With
characteristic American business in
stinct, the administration today was
building up its war corporation" to
turn out finished product designed
to match the best in the world.
The Council of National Defense
met here today to discuss practical
handling Of measures Of war dis
cUssed yesterday in the cabinet
meeting. It's experts will constitute
governments advisory body just as
soon as war is announced by con-
gress.
In meantime the administration is
sounding warning to people of ma
tiOn that preparations must be made
for possibility of long and bitter war.
1t is part Of a preparedness pro-
gram" Of the administration to pre-
pare the people to full realization of
what sacrifices they must be ready
to make; to achieve sober realization
of all citizens of magnitude of task
ahead of nation; to displace careless
optimism with studiOUs knowledge of
what is ahead.
Part of this preparation is in ad-
vance Of demands which will be made
shortly by government for men,
money, labor and materials on scale
unprecedented in nations history.
Administration proposes no halfway
measures if it can be aveTted.
1t is known government is cOnsid-
ering as one of initial moves the
lOaning Of a billion dollars or more
to entente allies - provided people
approve such a step.
One thing council of national de-
fense proposes to guard against, and
that is extoTtiOnate war profits by in
dustries affected. / Government will
undoubtedly undertake some special
taxing system to cut down many
enormous suTpluses.

WOULD CALL RUSSIA "UNlTED
STATES OF RUSSIA"
Petrograd, March 24.-New Rus
sia is likely to bear the name THE
United States of Russia" if the tenn
per of the people in Petrograd is an
index. At least the form Of govern
ment will be republican. Whether the
unmistakable feeling on this point
today in the capital is shared
throughout the country is difficult to
tell.
The Russian peasants mind is
principally fixed on the land question
breaking up Of great estates and
equal opportunities to all. This ques-
ton solved satisfactorily, the peasant
cares for little else.
Duma delegates today were scat
tering to all quarters of the empire
for the purpose Of explaining to the
people in distant parts exactly what
has happened. Doubtless they will
bring back to PetrOgrad an accurate
review of sentiment on the form Of
government.
In the meantime the council Of
wOrkmen, soldiers and deputies,
numbering 1900, continues its ad-
ministratiOn as organized on the first
day Of the revolution. Demands Of
various factions, however, are mod
Grating. The assembly has effected
a compromise with the new cabinet,
in which the cabinet agreed to await
decision by a constituent assembly
and not to attempt precipitate action.

MARKO's DILEMMA.
An Old Servian Legend Of ! Prophecy
and Its FuIfillment.

An Old Servian Legend Of > Prophecy
and Its FuIfillment.
Prilep. in Servia, Is dear to the
hearts Of all Servian peasants, for
around it cluster countless stories of
one Of the nations most popular Leg
endary supermen-Marko Kralievitch.
otherwise Kings Son Mako.
The ruins Of the castle of Kings Son
Mako overlook the town. and IL the
visitor proves to be a sympathetic au-
dit0r the guide will no Eoubt point out
to him in the slabs of rock which
strew the approach to the stronghold
the indelible hoof prints of the masters
favorite steed, Sharatz. And If you
should happen to be in Prilep on the
anniversary Of Marko's festival. or
"slava.' you can prove to your own
satisfaction whether there is any truth
in the widely credited peasant legend
that at midnight the doors of the castle
chapel burst open and the hero. fully
armed, rides in on his piebald charger,
although the Mako of the flesh has
been dead for 500 years.
In an old Servian ballad called MAR
kos Judgment there is recited this
prophecy: Kral (King) Vukashine, Mar
kos father, whose chief fortified city
was Prilep, speaks first: "Son Mako.
may God STAY thee! Thou shalt have
neither monument nor posterity. and
ere thy spirit leaves thy body the
Turkish sultan thou shalt serve
Then speaks the car, Stephen Dushan:
Friend Mako, may God help thee!
Bright be thy face in the senate. sharp
thy sword in battle. Never shall hero
surpass thee. And thy name shall be
endure"
And here, according to peasant folk
lore, is how hat prophecy was fulfill
ed: Upon the death Of yukashine, La
Ear Hreblianovitch, Count of Sirmium,
was elected car. Bitterly ~disappoint-
ed at the failure of his own candidacy,
Mako threatened the life of Lazar and
was forthwith deprived of his tief. Pen
niless and disheartened, Mako turned
to the court of the hated sultan and
enlisted in his army to fight the Mos
lens of Asia Minor. Ut should be re-
membered that it was no disgrace for a
Servian to fight with the Turks pro-
vided the opposing forces we're other
Turks, for a Turk less, in whatever
cause slain, was a blessing in the eyes
of the S%ervians.)
In time, however, Marko's command
was brought west to wage war against
the orthodox prince of the Roumans.
Loyal to his Mohammedan sovereign,
when he came upon the field of battle,
MarkO's heart failed him when he saw
the men of his own faith drawn up
against him, and, facing the dilemma
of choosing between proving traitor to
his chief or lifting his sword against
those Of his own faith, he cried out,
"Oh, God, do thou this day destroy all
those who fight against Christendom
and foremost Marko!" Saying which.
he threw his body on the Christian
spears and died without striking a
blow. - National Geographic Society

RIDING on BUBBLES or AIR.
Motoring Would Be Ideal If Tires Could
Be Made Thinner,

In the whole mechanism of modern
transportation there is nothing 80 par
adoxical, nothing so daring in concep-
tiOn as these bubbles of air which we
call tires. They are at once strangely
nOnsensical and strangely practical
n0nSensical because they must endure
great strains and yet are necessarily
made of uncomfortable material /; practi-
cal because nothing can match air as a
shock absorber. From all the tales that
we hear of tire costs and tire repairs.
let it not be forgotten that motoring as
We know it became possible because Of
the art Of riding on bubbles Of air had
been discovered.
What happens when the old fashion
ed iron tired, wooden buggy wheel
strikes a small stone in the road? 1t
simply rises and the entire load rest
ing on the wheel is lifted. There is
loss of power-more work for the horse,
for whenever you OF a horse lifts a
weight energy must be expended.
What happens when an air tube strikes
a stone? The tube is simply punched
in. as 1t were, m~omentarily! The wheel
need not be lifted over the obstruction.
In order to secure this extraordinary
result the air must have a chance to
compress. If it were possible to build
a tire with aswall as thin as a SOAP
bubbles and yet SO tough and elastic
that it would both yield to blows and
resist punctures and blowouts the ideal
would be attained. One Of the hardest
technical tasks ever set was that of de-
handing from the rubber industry a
tube which would hold air and which
would also be resilient.
Air tires serve not only to make mo-
toring luXuriously comfortable, but to
protect the car itself. Were it not for
them engines would not perform their
work so efficiently gasoline would not
be so economically consumed; high
speed would be unttainable; steering
would not be SO easy shock would not
be completely Observation-Disclosures

Soldiers and Socks.

The German soldier does not wear
socks, but fuss-lappen. These are strips
of cloth soaked in tallow and wound
about the feet. They are supposed to
be preferable to socks, in that they
wear more evenly, are more easily
cleaned and, when properly worn, are
not so likely to wrinkle and cause bis
tiers.
Military authorities disagree, howev-
er, asNtO the relative value of socks and
tallow soaked strips. Either covering,
though, Is considered preferable to the
custom of wearing no socks, which has
prevailed in the French. Spanish and
Italian -armies.-Outlook.

HE KNEW THE TURK.
So He Boldly Proceeded to Take the
Law Into His Own Hands.


In his book, Forty Years In Con
stantinople," Sir Edwin Pears tells the
following story to illustrate the Turks
attitude toward foreigners:
! knew the Englishman of whom the
story was told, and l persuaded him
one day to give me his own version.
He sued a man In the chief Turkish
court that has jurisdiction over cases
between Europeans and Turkish sub
jects. When the Turkish defendant
came to tell his tale he spoke of the
Englishman as a giaour. or infidel. The
E~nglishman objected. Although the
judges knew perfectly well that it is
contrary to Turkish law to use such
an epithet, they did not interfere,
w%Iereupon the Englishman said, IF
you call me a giaour again l shall take
the law into my W hands,"
The Turk at once replied. "Well. you
are a giaour."
The Englishman stepped across the
floor three or four PAGES and gave the
Turk a blow on the nose that startled
him and the court. AS the blood f1Ow-
ed freely, there was a great hubbub.
and orders We're given to arrest the
~Englishman. He was Il big, powerful
fellow. and instantly he smashed the
stool on which he was seated and
cried out that he would brain the first
man who laid hands upon him.
Alischan, the dragoman who first
told me the story, said that every one
hesitated to attack the Englishman,
and he, Alischan, was asked by the
president to tell the aggressor that if
he would apologize there would be an
end of the matter.
"ApologiZe!" said the Englishman.
Not a bit OF it. He insulted me, and
| let him have it."
Alischan went back to the president
and said, This is the kind of an Eng
lishman who won't stand an insult.
and l a do nothing with him."
Thereupon the court ordered the pro-
ceedings to go on as if nothing had
happened.

BEGINNING Of the Drama.

worth considering was born in Athens.
Both tragedy and comedy spring from
feasts in honor of Bacchus. and as the
jests and frolics we're found to be out
scenes a separate proyince-the true
drama-was formed and comedy arose.
The father Of the Greek comedy was
Aristophanes. who had lots of fun
lampooning the public men of Athens.
The creator of Greek tragedy was
Aeschylus, born B. C. 525. In sublimi-
ty Aeschylus has never been surpass-
ed. He is to the drama what Phidias
and Michelangelo are to art.
