A Rcverf>eration.

In the overshadowed DAYS when
German armies menaced Paris and II
seemed prudent to transfer the French
government to Bordeaux. a proclama-
uon was issued which called upon the
French people for the display OF cour-
age and fortisude
Endure! Fight" was the refrain
of this appeal to a people who can
endure anything and have endured
much, who stand today types OF Hen
ley's "lnvctus." their heads lifted
high, bloody but unhowed."
1t ia over three years since these
words rang out: Endure Fight"
And now We hear one OF these
words again uttered likewise as an
entreaty addressed TO a whole nation
The imperial German chancellor
speaking to the people of German,
through the German parliament, III.
reichstag, cries.
Wait Endure' Hold OUT"
No word of fighting and no sugees-
ton of warning except perhaps defen
sIVeIy or extensively to lessen a pres

Wat! Endure, Hold OUT"
How sweet. O France, must thai
imploring echo be to your ears"

Alaska Natives Like Taxis.

High, white-topped shoes and silk
and satin party gowns, worn by native
Alaskans, are cited by J. L. McPher-
son of the Seattle chamber of COM
MERGE as proof of the prosperity be-
ing enjoyed by the residents Of that
territory.
Mr.. Mcpherson, who has returned
from a six weeks trip to Alaska, says
that the present fad of the Ketchikan
natives is taxi riding at a cost of So
an hour, according to the Seattle Post
1ntelligencer. The seven taxicabs re-
Gently installed at Ketchikan are doing
a land office business, he says. To
bid good-by to native departing on
one of the boats, an entire family Of
native friends rode down to the dock,
alighted and shook hands with him,
wishing him a good voyage, re-entered
their motor car and the head of the
family airily waved to the chauffeur,
'Home, James,"
With their rapidly acquired taste for
the latest styles in clothing, Mr.. Nc
Pherson says, has come a liberal pa
tronage of the bootblack by both the
men and women, much to the delight

fAvoRlTE SPORTS OF TODAY
Baseball and Football Are Games
Evolved From Daily Work OF
Our Forefathers,

Play is ancestral work. The things
our forefathers, near or remote, did
to live, we do for fun, muses. an ex-
change. Away back in the dim dis
lance, they lived by hunting-and by
lodging the creatures which were
hunting them. In those days, it con-
siderably strengthened ones grip on
life to be able to throw stone with
accuracy, to hit quickly and strongly
with a club, to run from tree to tree
so swiftly and with such nice judy
ment Of distance as to foil old Saber-
Tooth, the original apostle of fright
fitness.
The men who could do these. things
well left descendants. Generations,
centuries, aeons passed, and these
descendants, struggling to repeat the
daily work of their forbears, evolved
such games as cricket, one old cat,
and FOUNDERS. Out of this last, by
happy chance and happier. genius, was
developed baseball, to exercise our
lungs, improve our eyes and increase
our vOcabularies.
Far different is the origin of foot
ball. The keynote of that is the
massed rush-like the one which won
the battle of Marathon. Sometimes
the massing is extra close, correspond
ing to the charge of the Theban col
umn at Leuctra, and with pretty near
ly as high proportion of casualties
until the rule makers abolished the fly
ing wedge. But even in the most open
game, football is essentially a disci-
plined charge, and the activities it
calls into play are UNNECESSARILY 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
game which mimics ancient war.

Leopard Ship of the Sea,

Pooling the enemy is a remunera-
tive and interesting pastime with the
allies, says Popular Science Monthly.
They have their camoufage on land ;
now comes the camouf1age of the sea.
A ship is painted with spots which
fade out into glittering and SHIN
mering haze in the sunlight. A sub
marine commander one or two miles
distant might look straight at the ship
land never see her.
The spots are of light gray and navy
blue, which, even on a sunless day,
blend with the waves Of the ocean.
The indistinct outline which this gives
makes the ship a poor target.

A revised chart of New York har-
Dor, on a scale Of 100000, has been
issued by the United States coast and
geodetic survey. The labor involved
in bringing such chart up to date
is illustrated by the fact that in one
year there have been for this chart
,253 different items Of change, which
required 233 working days to compile
and engrave. Marked changes in the
contour of the bottom, disclosed by
recent surveys, are shown at the en-

Paw for Harmful Butterflies,

Butterfly catching was converted
from a schoolboy's amusement into a
serious business at Solingen and Dus-
seldorf, in western Germany. The COM
lnunal authorities offered a premium
of one pfennig apiece for every hut
terfy of the harmful varieties caught,
with the result THAT the school children
have already handed in $4,000 at Solin-
gen and 10000 at Dusseldorf. The
method was adopted to combat the con-
peQuent caterpillar plague.
