uncosey feeling, which is further height
ened by the benches, which, with their
high backs. reminded me of an old Eng
fish coffee house.
The place is furnished in severe mascu-
fine style, the walls hung with sketches by
Jack Yeats and A. E., engravings and
portraits. In the middle of the rather
spacious study is a plain wooden table,
upon which were strewn several books,
papers, writing materials, and the then
recently completed Memories on ChIld-
hood and Youth.
Back to Ireland.
We seated ourselves comfortably under
a small hanging lamp, and chatted at our
ease about Ireland, the Abbey Theatre,
Synge and Moore. gathered that Yeats
was as vitality interested in the theatre as
he ever was, though he had less time TO
look after it. He was pleased with the
success of the Irish Players in their three
American tours, though he begged TO be
excused from telling me whether or not
they were financially successful.
The MS. Of his Memories, lying on the
table before US, gave me chance to ask
him about his poetry. He Herewith gave
me two privately printed brochures, the
one containing the latest version OF The
Hour Glass, the other a few occasional
poems. He asked me to read the latter.

seemed to me uninspired topical verses
On a Rich Man who failed to subscribe to
something or other. Was it to such things
that the author of score of lovely lyrics
was condescending? l wanted so much
to tell him to go back TO Ireland!
He has gone, but will he find again the
mood that inspired The Lorer SPEAKS to
the Rose in His Heart!
Toward the end of the evening l sum-
moned up courage to mention George
Moore. l told Yeats everything Moore
had said. Yeats's brows contracted, and
it seemed that he, too, like Lady Gregory,
had resolved not to allow any one to see
what he thought of his self-appointed
photographer" He told me that he
had not asked Moore TO write about
Synge, because he had never known him.
As to Moore's putting Yeats into Had
and FareueH-alas that was an indiscre-
ton!
As / afterward wrote Moore late the
same night on board the Havre steamer,
Yeats was irritated, but like the others
who had been immortalized, he was really
very much flattered.

1914, after visit with William Butler

be there, and l was disappointed on ar
irving to learn that business had detained
him in Dublin, but it so happened that
our failure 10 meet led to an appointment
in London, whittier Yeats soon after re-
turned. This was doubly fortunate, be-
cause l had already seen Shaw, Lady
Gregory, the friends Of Synge, Ervine,
Stephens and George Moore, and We could
talk about them at our ease, and also be-
cause l should see Yeats at home.

suited in most un-Ir;sh silence.

in regard to Moore's in,putaticns left no
doubt in my mind that Moore was no

Yeats had not asked him to contribute an

too to learn that Moore did not know how
Yeats felt about being put into the public

frankly amazed when he asked me to find

GERMANS STAB WOUNDED IN BED
 DECLARES CAPTAIN

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Capt. J. II. Finlay of Canada told in St. Marks Church in the Bouwerie ot having seen eighteen men in tenn porary hospital stabbed in their beds by Germans who were in tenn porary control.
 He also told of personally exam ming d captured German Captoin who had in his pocket thirty-two identification tags. ReproacheG for retaining them, because by so doing as many families of the Allies would remain in ignorance of what fate had befallen them, the German Cap tain attempted to justify his act, and added that his Instructions from his Government were 10 do as he did in order to inhict pain on people at home as well as on those in the field.
 Capt. Finlay pleaded with Ameri- cans to realize the character of Germans, not Prussians only, but the entire nation.

SALARIES FOR
 STENOGRAPHERS
 NOT BEEN RAISED

WASHINGTON, June 2S. The United States Civil Service Com mission announces that through some misunderstanding an impression now seems to prevail that the Govern ment has raised the usual entrance salary for stenographers and typists in the departments at Washington, D. C., to $1,400 a year. The Con- mission states that there has been no change in initial salaries for po- sitions of this kind; the usual sal aries at the beginning range from $1,O00 to $1,200 a year, appointments at $1,200 being in the minority. The War Department makes all appoint ments to such positions at not less than SLIGO a year, and agrees to promote to $1.200 year after three months satisfactory service. Ap- pointments at salaries higher than $120O year are rare, and the ap- pointees must possess exception quali- fications.
 There is still great need for steno- graphers and typists in the Govern ment offices at Washington. Those who have had considerable office experience are most desired The Civil Service Commission urges qual- flied persons to offer their services to the Government Full informa- tion may be obtained from the rep resentatives of the Civil Service Commission at the post office in any city

WOMAN'S LABOR HAS DOUBLED IN
 PRICE RECENTLY

ROME, June 2S.-Womans la bor has doubled in price during the past six months, partly due to the employment given by the govern ment to women in factories directed by the War Department or manu- facturing materials for it. In or der to be sure of employment a woman or girl must have hus- band, father, son or brother at the front. Their lowest pay is lire per day, or to lire above mans wages paid before the war. Many earn double this sum by overtime. The wage is not now considered un usal because in the same factories skilled men workers earn as much. as 1G0 lire per day, a sum once equivalent to $20 and before the war the average pay per month of bookkeeper.
 Women not working in such gov ernment supply factories have lately struck for fifty per cent. increases in the dressmaking and clothing es- tablishments, and obtained their demand, now receiving an average of 4 lire per day. Unskilled women and girls are also so highly paid on the farms that servants arc difficult to find.

severely than gallant little Serbia, and our debt to- her is all the great CT because her real offense in the eyes of the Central Powers is that she held the Gate of the East against German aggression and blocked the road which leads from Berlin to Constatinople and Bag dad.
 Since the autumn of 1912 she waged two wars, and quelled a for midable rising, under circumstances such as strained the material re- sources of a small country of three million peasants almost to the breaking point. And yet, despite the exhaustion of consequent up on such events, Serbia, after a brief respite of nine months, be- came involved in third war against a far more powerful and dangerous enemy, and too far from allowing herself to be overwhelmed, successfully repelled three attempts at invasion on the part of Austria Hungary.
 Those who already know at first hand the splendid qualities of Ser bian infantry, the deadly precision of their gunners, the ideal relations which unite officers and men in q common bond, had from the first only one fear-that they might be overwhelmed by sheer force of num- bers. Happily the Russian offen- sive in Galicia compelled Austria Hungary to retain her main forces in the north and though the armies sent against the Serbs were each time superior they could not resist the victorious clan of veterans de- lending their native soil. The sudden rally of Serbian army in December, 1914, and its decisive rout of the enemy at the very mo ment when their punitive eXpedI- ton seemed at last on the point of succeeding, will questionably rank as one of the great achieve ments of the war.
 ''In the same way nothing can equal in tragic heroism and suf- fering, the great retreat of the Ser bian army and Government across the snow-clad mountains of Alba nia in November and December Of 1915. Assailed from three sides It once by overwhelming numbers If the enemy, the Serbs hoped till he very last that the troops of the Allies would reach them before it WIS too late; and when the Bull garians entered Nish, they found the public buildings still decorated with British and French flags in honor of the friends who never ar rived"
 Transported to Corfu the Serbi- m army quickly organized and has been fighting on the Macedo- nian front since 1916. In Novem- Der of that year Monastir was freed from the foe, and the too-much pressed Serbs have now at least the satisfaction to fight again on their native soil. They have since been reinforced by thousands of their brothers from Austria Hungary Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) who partly surrendered and then put on the Serbian uniform, and partly came as volunteers from the United States.

Cincinnati Man Discovers Drug That
Loosens Corns so They Lift Out.

Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dispens-
ing freezone, the recent discovery of
a Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn so it lifts out with
the fingers.
A quarter of an ounce costs very
little at any store which handles
drugs, but this is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet Of every hard OF
soft corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn or toughened
callus and instantly the soreness is re-
lieved, and soon the corn or callus
is so shriveled that it lifts out with,
out pain. 1t is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the sur.
rounding skin.
This discovery will prevent thou,
