ADVISED TO KEEP ALIENS.
Employers Told Firmness Demands
They Be Not Dismissed.

Employers are advised by the COM
mittee on public information not to
dismiss alien employees because they
have not completed their naturaliza-
tion. In statement last night in ref
erence to reports that some large en-
ployers have dismissed alien employees
the committe said:
Such doubtful zeal is contrary to
the spirit of the Presidents proclama-
tion of April s. which definitely prom
ises to lawabiding aliens freedom to
pursue their occupations. The tustness
OF our war measure should be matched
by the fairness with which we treat in
our private relations the aliens who
live among US in loyalty to our ideals
Many through neglect have not com
pleted the formal processes of acquir-
ing citizenship. Employers who make
this the basis of discharging them will
create divisions where none now exist
1t Is the part of sanity and national
good sense to avoid any implications OF
unjust persecution"

An Aerial Shepherd.

The gallant little republic of Vene-
zuela, which may shortly come in on
the side of the allies, boasts Of re-
markable bird which can be trained to
tend flocks, says London Tit-Bits. Not
only does the yak-a-milk, as it is called,
take the place Of the sheep dog, but it
Is frequently used to guard the home
of its owner.
When the Indians capture yaka-
milk they find little difficulty in train
ing it to domestic use. 1t is attached
to the farmyard and performs the
same duties as faithful watchdog. A
yak-a-milk soon learns to know and
obey the voice of its master. Its usual
gait is slow and sedate, but sometimes
it will execute most eccentric move
ments, waltzing and pirOuetting in a
very absurd fashion. Instances are re-
corded where these strange birds have
defended their charges from attacks
Of wild and savage animals, and even
driven them off.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1917-10-18

For this duty there were assigned the
troops Of Plckett's fresh and splendid
Virginia division, which constituted
part OF LOngstreet's corps. Long
street himself never believed this
charge could have a chance Of sue
cess. Between him and Lee there was
ever afterward bitterness. But as for
the charge itself, 1t was most gallant.
ly delivered. 1t almost won.
Meade began the fighting on. the
third day by aiming a heavy counter
offensive at Culp's hill, which after
four hours of fighting was retaken
from the Confederates. This, how
ever, did not deter Lee from following
his original plan. He was determined
that Pickett should make his grand as
sault. In preparation, Alexander, the
Confederate chief Of artillery, opened
with one long line Of seventy-hve
guns, while sixty-five of Hills guns
came into action on the left. Against
these the Federals, cramped for space,
could oppose but seventy-five, and the
fire Of these was soon stopped that
they might be held to meet the infan-
try attack.
LOngstreet, still certain the result
could be only failure, could not bring
himself to order the advance, but
shortly before two in the afternoon
Pickett himself asked and obtained
permission to go forward.
There followed one Of the most des-
perate charges In history, beside
which, when one reckons in loss Of
life, such an exploit as that of the
Light Brigade at Balaklava becomes
almost childs play. To reach the
Union line the Virglnians had to cross
1880 yards Of ground swept by terri
BILE rifle and artillery fire. All three
Of Pickett's brigadiers went down, two
killed and one, Kemper, desperately
wounded. The Union troops, Gibbons
division and u part of the Second
corps, all under Hancock, held un-
flinchingly. Lieutenant Gushing, COM
manding a battery, held in his entrails
with one hand while with the other he
helped roll gun into position, cry
ing out "Give them one more shot,
Webb" The slaughter was frfghtful.
but the dauntless Virginians actually
broke Meade's first line before they
withered under the fearful fire and,
abandoned by their support, fell back.
Brigadier General Garnett, who had
leaped the wall with his hat on his
sword, died under Il Union gun car
riage.
This ended the battle. Afterward
there was only retreat which might
have been q rOut, had the Union troops
pressed their advantage or had Lee
/ been less prompt and skillful in rail-
lying his men. The Confederates lost
10000 out of a total approXimating
$4,000. OF Pickett's division, which
charged 4,5OO strong, 1898 were left
on the field. Meades losses were 3d.
600 out of $4,000, but the Confederacy
had attained its greatest success and
had seen that success wane into hope
less failure.

Test of Endurance.

Human endurance is seldom tested
so severely as among the postal mes
sengers of the Chinese government be-
tween Peking and Lhassa. These mes
sengers are picked and trained men,
who in times of great urgency are re-
uuired to cover 4,500 miles between
the two capitals, on horseback, in SO
days, or 125 miles day.
The messengers letters, inclOsed in
a yellow bag, are never taken off his
back except when he changes his
dress, once a week. He changes
horses every few miles, eats and sleeps
in postal stations, is under the most
rigid restrictions as to articles Of diet,
and is permitted to sleep only four
hours a day.

The Moon In japanese Poetry.

Japanese fondness for moon-gazing
must not be interpreted as pure feel
ing of JOY in the presence of beauty !;
1t is mixed with melancholy sentiment,
says the New East. The soul Is
touched with strange and deep pathOs
when looking at the moon with night
sky as q background and-silence. Shi-
rakawa had the idea when he said:
"As I, in solitude, look attentively up
on the moon, seem to merge into one
ness with her." This attitude toward
nature quite differs from that which
one feels Mt sight of the first touch Of
day a spot of high light upon the
top Of Mount Full.
