SOUVENIR COLLECTORS
ARE BEHIND The LINES

BEHIND BRITISH LINES in France,
November 29-In every battalion at the
front there are a number of confirmed
souvenir hunters, and sometimes their
influence is so potent that an epidemic
craze for collecting spreads through
all ranks, and the main topic of con-
yersation is souvenirs in all their va
rieties.
In every walk of trench life one
meets the man with strong acquisitive
habits; in civilian life he might de-
velop his bent nto ether finance, art,
stamp collecting or possibly burglary.
In the trenches the fully developed
passion for collecting souvenirs is Of
ten trial for the collector, for a col
lection of any kind sooner or later
demands place to put it in, and
there is no place in knajsack and dug
out for a store of gathered treas
ures.
The available war souvenirs are sell
dom of much value, but there is con-
siderable variety of things to choose
from in most battle areas. In the
early days of the war, the German
helmets were valued as souvenirs, foI
the old-style German helmet was sub
stantial and picturesque, brilliant with
heavy metal garnture, There were
also unusual variations, like the quaint
Bavarian shakos, while one or two
cavalry regiments provided rare va
riety of headgear which has not been
seen on the western front since tho
first year Of war.
The German helmet OF today has
deprecated even more than the Ger
man mark 1t no longer even
leather, but kind of light paper-felt
The metal spike has given place to
one Of wood or composition. The solid
brass regimental badge is now thin
tinsel puaque. The true collector cares
very little for the modern helmet and
has no interest at all in the little
round convict cap, which so many
German prisoners wear. If the Ger
man only knew it, sure passport to
warm and instant favor on surrender
j. decent helmet. 1t attracts i'm
MEDIATE attention and the ofrtunate
owner is given cigarettes and other
marks of favor by his delighted cap
tor, instead of being merely herded to
the rear without ceremony.
The supply of helmets is seldom
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-11-29

adequate to the demand; indeed, the
market is only glutted on occasions Of
a big push or a large scale raid.
Among lesser trophies, the ambitious
collector finds great scope for his &C
tivities in the shells sent over by hos
tile artillery. Fuses and nose caps in
wonderful variation are to be obtained
with little pains, and the collection
of these is encouraged by the general
staff, because the setting of the fuse
may give the correct range of sus-
pected battery, and there is other in
formation of useful character to be
gained from the study of these tro-
phies.
The French have specialized IN
aluminium rings and jewelry made from
the nosecaps of hostile shells, and
quite an ambitious industry has been
developed in this way. The, British
prefer to work in brass, usually the
brass of empty cartridges and shell
cases With infinite patience and few
tools they produce what the French
man calls peculiar objects of the
mantelpiece." Little model coal scut-
ties with legs made of bullets, tiny
coal shovel worked up from German
rifle cartridge; vases of curious sur
face nothing made by indenting the
brass of the field-gun case; ambitio is
designs of allied flags and we'll known
heroes made from ration cases or
brass-these are only a few of the
things which the collector is offered
by his comrades. There is no end to
the ingenuity and variety of the work
OF the soldier craftsman, but his most
familiar work is ink-pots, candlesbucks
and decorative paperweights made
from hand grenades or the interior Of
shrapnel shells

Cantonment Talk.

A battery on parade was being in
spected by the sergeant major. In the
center of wagon a driver in a tub
had a haversack, which was none too
clean. The following dialogue took
place:
Sergeant Major-"Out of cells again,
Brown
Brownies. sir
Sergeant Major-"That's a very dir
ty haversack you have got"
Brown-"Y Yes, sir. / only got it from
the stores yesterday, and have not had
time to wash It."
Sergeant Major-"Get it washed i'm
medlately after parade and show 1t to
me-"
Just then the commanding officer
came on parade and the sergeant ma
jor called the battery to attention.
The commanding officer, riding along
followed by the sergeant major, came
up to Driver Brown (who was of a
dark complexion).
Commanding Officer-"Have you had
a wash this morning, Brown
Driver Brownies, sir
Commanding officer turning to the
sergeant)-"Do you think he has
washed his face this morning, sergeant
major?"
The sergeant major, not having
caught all the sentence, and thinking
the commanding officer was referring
to the haversack. blurted out: "No
sir, it is an entirely new one; he only
got 1t out Of stores last night"

Sim FEINERS KEEP
IRELAND IN TURMOIL

! DUBLIN, Nov 2S-The Sim Fem
agitation continues to steam without
boiling over into actual rebellion.
The purpose of the Sim Feintrs is
alleged to be to keep the nerves of
the government on edge, to produce
the impression that they mediate very
dreadful deeds, and at suitable mo-
ments to provoke the government ac-
ton as an evidence that England Is
holding down Ireland by force. Their
notions is said to be that the military
measures taken against them prejudice
England in neutral countries, and in
Russia
/ The attitude of the military COM
manders is that it is their business
to check anything that could facili-
tate another revolt. The last time
they we're caught mapping and besides,
inourred a formidable list of casual
ties in killed in wounded. The gov
eminent had to pay three million
pounds because it was obliged to adj
nit responsibility for tht failure to
protect the lives and property of
peaceful citizens. They are resolved
that that shall not happen again
That is why they have forbidden drill
ing, or uniforms, Or professions.
A disciplined body of men march
ing in military formation and train
ed to the word of command, even
if armed only with hurleys, could out
master any local police force and con-
troll any town. Hence such process
sions are prohibited. Today there
were to be Sim Fem national .parades
in uniform all over Ireland with a
great meeting in the neighborhood o.
the Curragh camp. That has been
prevented
The military authorities are par
ticularly keen on preventing the ac-
QUESTION of arms. The Sim Feiners
main hope of getting arms is not from
Germany but from the British army,
and there is constant activity to steal
or purchase arms from individual
soldiers.
For the present the government is
in the position that through the con-
vention it is offering the Irish people
home rule ut the convention drags
along without coming to a decision. If
it should not form a plan of govern
ent Ireland will be left where it was
at the beginning, with the knowledge
that there can be no home rule for
twenty-six counties, and that Belfast
will not come in and cannot be forced
in. The situation then would be that
the government would be obliged to
suppress the Sim Feiners.

SWISS COAL SUPPLY
RUNNING VERY SHORT

BERNE. Nov 2S-Ewitzerland has at
last attacked the problem of econo-
MIXING its large coal supply. 1t has
begu, none too soon and apparently
none too strenuously. for Germany's
initial delivery for September under
the new economic agreement has fallen
many thousands OF tons short of the
promised minimum of 100000. 1t is
scant satisfaction for Switzerland that.
Its loan TO German is reduced accord
ingly.
In anticipation Of having to struggle
along with 100000 tons or less of coal
month-the swiss government has
cut to the bone the railroad traffic,
raised rates and made it so difficult
and SO expensive TO travel that only
necessity is apt to induce a Swiss TO
move from one part of his country to
another The government also has is
sued drastic regulations governing
heating. The sale Of certain types
OF electric stoves was forbidden, while
electricians are forbidden to install
new switches and lines such as would
b e necessary for utilizing stoves.
Hotels and pensions may heat only
one quarter of their rooms and must
close their cafes and restaurants at II
instead of l o'clock The opening
stores are reduced.
The movies, cabarets and variety
theatres must close at least twelve
days out of each month. The tempera-
ture of theatres or of hotels must not
exceed a certain degree. Restaurants
and cafes have to lop off the best two
hours of their business by early clos
ing, and are forbidden to serve warm
meals before nine in the morning.
If coal were Switzerlands only
shortage, she would face the winter
with some degree of equanimity. Bat
she is running short of food all along
the line OF -four and breadstuffs she
has just enough, on the ESQ grams a
day for person basis now in force, to
last until late in the winter. Unless
America permits the export of wheat
liz some measure switzerland will soon
have to drop to 100 grams day.
The economic department of the
government has just issued a circular
calling attention to the fact that, in
addition to a shortage Of coal and
wheat. there is also too little cooking
fats and oils on hand. In some dis
tricts they have disappeared alto
gether, Foreign potatoes are to be
had only in two cantons, Berne and
Easel, and even wood is scarcer than
it ever has been.
So Switzerland is training its eco
nomic sails as rapidly and as dras-
t'cally as it ay It isn't the easiest
task in the world. and is the harder
because there is political opposition
- every move made by the govern
n,ent President Schultchess had one
Of the full days Of his political career
gently when he tried to explain
to refractory deputies in parliament
why it was impossible to lower prices
when foodstuffs and kindred things con
nued to become scarcer and scarcer.
