LETTER WRITING THE RAGE
Pretty French Ste%nographer ls Cause Of
Literary Epidemic Among the
Marines.

Somewhere in France.-Letter writ
ing has become all the rage among the
wounded United States marines con-
fined to the base hospitals here.
The reason is a French stenographer,
a pretty one, too, who has volunteered
to write letters home for her incapaci-
tated American brothers.
The petite Parisienne makes a daily
visit to the Marine hospitals for die
tation-and the wounded devil dogs
have suddenly become literary giants.
They anxiously await her visits and
fairly swamp her with mail.
"Gee, il l only had about three more
aunts and six more cousins to write
to" sighed one husky sea-Soldier, as
the pretty little "steno" moved on to
the next cot.

GRAND DUKE WORKS AS CLERK
"London Michael" and Countess En-.
dure Reverses OVERWHELMINGLY
In London.

London.-One of the Russian grand
dukes, known as the London Michael
to distinguish him from the other
Grand Duke Michael, has fallen from
great wealth TO comparative perjury as
a result of the Russian revolution.
Before the war he lived in one of
the finest residential estates In the
n~eighborhood OF London. When his
income from Russia was cut off he
subleased this property and is now a
clerk at $1,000 a year in an office near
Westminster abbey. His wife, the
Countess Torby. conducts their small
home with zest and without grumbling.
Probably no family in Great Brit
ain has endured greater reverses than
this one, or borne It's misfortune more
cheerfully," comments the Evening
News.

EXPLAINS POISONING BY FOOD
Science Has Discarded Theory, Long
Held, That Ptomaines Are the
Cause Of Infection.

Poisoning by food Is no longer ex-
planned as "ptomaine poisoning" but
In an address to the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science,
DIR. t.. o. Jordan showed that Ii is due
either to true bacterial toxins compare
BILE to those Of diphtheria and tetanus
bacilli, or to infection with specific in
lection carried by the food article. The
best known example of the toxin-form-
Ing microbes is the bacillus botulinus,
which has produced In the United
States % recorded cases of poisoning,
of which II were In California, while
Great Britain has reported no case.
This type of poisoning is rare, but in
lection with food-borne disease bac-
terra seems to occur in a great number
of cases. The bacteria are either pres
ent in the food itself, or the food is
contaminated from human sources.
The chief food-borne infections hith-
erto traced to human contamination
are typhoid fever and the various
p~aratyphoid infections; but to these
must be added certain infections rare
ly transmitted by any food except
milk. such as d~iphtheria, scarlet fever,
and s~treptococcus sore throat. The
type Of infection from food contain
mated at its source is exempllfed in
the diseases of certain food animals.
The chief infections known to be due
to food infected at Its source are those
mainly Northumberland by the
group of p~aratyphoid enteritidis bac-
terra, and those resulting from the use
Of Infected milk. The bacterial dis
eases Of plants do not infect man.

TO TEACH DISABLED
Australia Recognizes Duty to
Crippled Soldiers.
Subsistence Wages to Be Paid Men
While They Are Learning
Trades.

Washington-The manner In which
Australia is meeting the problem of
repatriating the men fighting in Eu-
rope is described in dispatches to the
bureau of foreign and domestic CON-
merce. Much interest was aroused by
the dispatches, as foreshadOwing what
the United States must do when the
tide of disabled men begins to flow
westward.
Two principles form the basis Of the
Australian system: First, that the
purpose is to secure the r~e-establish-
ment of returned soldiers In the indus
trial life of the community; second,
that as a soldier abandoned his civil
calling to serve the state, it is the
duty of the state to sustain him until
an opportunity for such r~e-establish-
ment is assured.
Subsistence wages will be paid to
men seeking employment or being
trained in technical schools. The
amounts will vary according to the
number of dependents. the maximum
being f3, 6 shillings, or approximately
$16.5O.
A feature of the vocational training
planned will be national workshops,
wherein men whose injuries preclude
the possibility of their ever becoming
competent to carr their living as nor
NAL workmen will be educated to new
tasks and perhaps employed perma-
nently. The totally and permanently
disabled will be provided for in hos
tells, or, alternately, by special grants
supplementary to their pensions, if
they prefer to remain with their
friends.
Widows DESTROYS of learning some
useful trade will be afforded the neces-
sary training and sustenance. Adj
vances of money will be made in GER
tain cases for the establishment of
small businesses, for tools and for
transit to employment.
Australia also Is following the prac-
tice of the United States after the civil
war of granting land to returned SOL
diers. Major Blizzard, who took part
in the historic landing at Gallipoli
and was severely wounded, has been
granted 700 acres near Echuca.

s MEN Of CITY
  ENLIST IN THE 4TA ARKANSAS

About 35 Pine Bluff men have enlist ed in the new Fourth Arkansas regi- ment at the local recruiting station 1 at the Y. M C. A., which is in charge l of Cage Cross, former Pine Bluff citizen. @
 This regiment, which will be feder- alized as soon as 1,50O men have en- listed, is making splendid progress. About 1,200 men already have enlisted in this new regiment.
 This recruiting office, only recently established at the "Y," will remain open for a few days longer, in which it is hoped that number of names may be added to the list of volunteers. All men between the ages of IS and 45 are wanted.
 Governor Brough, who visited Wash ington last week with the Arkansas Louisiana highway district commits sion, announced in Little Rock and he had been assured that, the Fourth Arkansas regiment would be given op- portunity to see service abroad, if more troops than those already assem- bled arises. The governors announce ment sets at rest rumors that the Fourth Arkansas would be used only nthis country, and probably will in- Gnce many young men anxious to servo their country, and yet desirous ot choosing their companions, to enroll at once.

BIG DRY DOCK AND STEAMER RESCUED
 FROM ICE GORGE

Memphis, Feb. 7.-Ice liberated by the breaking of the gorge at Osceola, Ark, 85 miles north of this city, in the Mississippi river continued to pass thru the local harbor tonight in de- creased quantities. Up to six o'clock this evening river men stated they had sighted 31 river craft of all descrip- tions imbeded in the foes, which, be- cause of the large volume of ice in the channel, they were unable to rescue.
 Reports early tonight from Fulton, Tenn, AZ miles north of Memphis, stated that the Ayr-Lord dry dock, in which the steamer America was floating toward this city, had been landed by fishermen. It was reported uninjured. The docks were torn from their moorings when the Paducah gorge gave way, and were carried to the Garfield, Ark, ice jam, where they remained until the break at Osceola occurred. The America was in the dock for repairs and is valued at $20.- 900. The docks are said to be worth $3O,OOO
 The ice has softened in the last few days and much of it is sinking to the bed of the river before it reaches this point. Shipping in Memphis and vii cinity has been well sheltered. The river here at ' o'clock registered 27.6 on the guage.
