Reprisals From the Washington star.

Col Richard L. Woodhouse said in recruiting address in Lexington.
 Nothing will stop the Huns bar barities but reprisals. If Rheims Cathedral is destroyed, let us destroy Cologne cathedral. And on every ship that enters the submarine murder zone we ought to put Germans of high rank"
 There's nothing like reprsals,' he said. "A tobacconist sent a doctor the other day a ten-dollar box of cigars saying he knew they hadn't been ordered, but they were so excellent he was sure the doctor would enjoy them. Bill inclosed. Terms strictly cash"
 The doctor wrote back:
 Delighted with the cigars. Though it is true you haven't called me in, venture to send you herewith two pre- scriptions for rheuma tism and dyspepsia respectively, that I am sure you will like as they have given universal satisfac- tion to my patients. My charges being 8 for prescription, we are now quits D

Surety Companies Urotect Employes

In an article entitled What Men Would You Bet On as Being Honest in the American Magazine Fred c. Kelly says:
 The surety companies now relieve in- dividuals of embarrassing bond-singing and protect employers against loss through dishonesty of employees in much the same manner that insurance com panies guarantee persons against loss by fire.
 Obviously, the surety companies must make their work profitable to themselves They must take in more money in pre- mums than they pay out in losses. In other words. they must be able to tell in advance that the majority of persons they bond will remain honest And how is that to be done? How is one to tell an honest man? What are the advance clues to possible dishonesty? If every employer and every person dealing with human

WOMAN LEAVES HER
Shoes IN Street
This One Penalty of Not
Using Corner
Crossings
BABY COACH
HALTS TRAFFIC

The habit that many women and
girls have Of cutting across Market
street between Fourth and Fifth
streets rather than cross at either
corner crossing, got several Of them
into trouble yesterday. and caused
eauch merriment to by-standers. 1t
also caused some under-breath cuss-
ing. loo.
For instance. yesterday, three
young women started across the
street, which is being repaycd, leay-
ing the tracks standing free. above
the temporary bed Of theEstreet. and
one OF them, stepping from track to
track lost both Of her shoes, and the
way she tip-toed around in the effort
10 recover her lost tootsie-covers al
most choked the other girls and any
number OF passersby with laughter
But from the color Of her face, il was
evident that the young woman did not
enjoy the fun quite as much as the
rest Of the people who saw Il 1t is
q safe bet that after she gets gravel and
stone-bruises out of her "tinys." she
will cross Market street strictly at
crossings hereafter.
Shortly before this happened, an
other young woman stepped across
the street at about the same place, or
started 10 do so, when she too, caught
her foot In a rail and fell prone.
There was a sp ce of danger in this
one. because a trolley car was COM
ing rapidly toward her. The careful
work of the motorman stopped the
juggernaut before striking the young
woman. but II is another safe bet that
she also. VIII use the regular cross
ings hereafter.
On Saturday a woman, trundling a
baby coach. started TO cross the street
between the crossings, despite the
torn-up condition Of things. and she
got about half way across when the
wheels became stalled in the trench
between the rails. and before she and
the baby coach could be removed from
the street. traffic was tied up for al
most a block This did not take much
more time than il does 10 write about
IT, but 1t is a third safe bet that it

Uncle Harry Explains No AnnexatiOns and NOIndemnites'

what does no annexations and nc

about IT, said Helen "Will you ex.
plain it to us?"

"And I'll begin my explanation by
asking Joe TO get the dictionary and
read to us what is the meaning OF the
word annexation.
Joe had soon found the page and
was reading: "Annexation--the act
Of adding or annexing"
And IN connection with war" said
Uncle Harry "the word annexation
generally means the taking of a ma
ton or a portion OF a nation--by
force That is. the victorious nation
takes or 'annexes' certain land be-
longing to the defeated nation. Now
Joe, look up the word indemnity
and then I'll explain about the No

1T means that the nations that win
the war will not compel the nations
that lose to give up any Of their land
or pay the winning nations any

many opinions as to whether it
should be applied in settling this
war"
HAS the Russian government
agreed to no annexations and indem-

ton for the Allies to take back the

would not be what is known as puma

"Why are some people opposed TO
snnexations and indemnities? ?" asked
Jimmy.
"The idea is this" said Uncle Harry.
I'm all past wars when the victOrs
have annexed land from the defeated
and made the defeated ray punatiye
indemnities. the annexations and in
IDENTITIES have left sore spots The
defeated nation has always hoped for
revenge and a longing for revenge
brings more trouble and moro war.
and II it is possible, when this war
ends. nothing must be done that will
plant the seeds for another war; too
many lives have been lost and the
sacrifices OF the people have been too
great That's why the question Of an
nexations and indemnities Is being
studied and discussed so much. The
different governments are not yet
agreed as to just exactly what is
meant by these two terms, but II by
the time the war ends it is clear to all
the nations that no annexations and
no punative indemnities' are necessary
to a lasting peace then the Russian
