WHEN MASEFIELD FIRST SANG
Author of Many Songs as a Youngster Often LulIed His Boss Baby
 to Sleep.

In the hidden recesses of Paradise alley you may see a service flag with one star. But how are you to see Para disc alley? It Is in Greenwich village. The entrance is through hole in the wall in Sixth avenue, between Jeffer- son Market jail and Eleventh street, recalls writer in the New York Mail.
 In Paradise alley there is row of quaint dwellings that seem to slant in outrageous fashion. In fact, everything in Paradise alley is strange to the point of queerness. But once within the alley you forget the world and its hustle. You are in land far away.
 Around the corner from Paradise al- icy is Patchin place. If memory does not serve i'll it was in this queer back water spot that John Masefield ate and slept and rocked the cradle of man child in the days when he tended bar" in New York town. A queer lad was John ManSefield. A thousand songs struggled for birth in his brain. The day, for he ranks in the second flight of living poets.
 But when John Masefield tended bar" in Greenwich village and ate and slept at the boss home in Patchin place, the only part of the public that got the benefit of his poems was the boss baby, for Masefeld, while he waited for the boss wife to cook a meal or "set" the table, had to rock the cradle and sing to keep the child from raising the roof with his walls.
 The babe never cried when John Masefield sang. It is the testimony of that good wife of the boss that she never could make head or tail out of the songs the queer youth sang-they neither had rhyme, nor reason, nor things that songs should have. They were like chants, she says.
 But the baby seemed to make them out, even if his mother could not. Never vail came from him while John Masetield sang.

War Beer In Germany.

Reports from Berlin recently re- ceived in London show that the kaiser's subjects are facing a further reduction in the supply of beer, says the New York Times. The amount of malt available for brewing has just been fixed, and, whereas the amount for the last year was 25 per cent of the peace quota. the amount for the next year is to be only 10 per cent in North Ger many, and 15 per cent in Bavaria.
 When the requirements of the army and of the munitions factories-which in Germany get precedence-have been met, there will be enough malt to provide the civil population with about one-third of its consumption in peace time, but the beer is only the thin 'war beer" The barley harvest in the rest of Germany has been bad, and there is now a great increase in the proportion of barley that is used for food.

Remember Lexington mad Bunker Hill. Don't let your heart have any pity. Slay and kill-kill and slay. Durn my hat if I don't wish I was going with you! l have got kidney trouble or I'd have enlisted long ago. Well, good by, old man. If you never return we will hold you in memory as gallant man."
 MT. Bowser's butcher came running over, as he stood there, to say:
 "Mr. Bowser, are you going to war?"
 "Yes."
 There is a little bill of fifty cents against you, but, if you are killed, I shall not ask Mrs. Bowser for 1t. I like brave men and you are certainly mighty brave."
 MT. Bowser had thoughts as he leaned against that fence. He thought of Mrs. Bowser and the cat. He thought of the good dinners he was getting every week. He thought of the grave. He thought of having his two short legs carried off by cannon ball. Slowly-very slowly-he as- sumed an erect position. Slowly very slowly-he walked down to the corner, from where he could see his front steps. Mrs. Bowser was not out there. Slowly-very slowly-he walked down to his gate and entered. He heard Mrs. Bowser singing, and the cook laughing, while the cat was in the back yard looking for trouble. Mrs. BOwser heard his step, and called out 1:
 'Is that you, MT. Bowser?"
 "Yes."
 q was expecting you back. Take your things right upstairs and put them back in your dresser"
 And Mir. Bowser went upstairs with his suitcase knocking against his leg at every step and climbed up into the garret, and sat down on an old trunk, and thought and thought and thought. Mrs. Bowser-good woman that she was, never spoke of war during the whole evening.

SCOUTS AID THRIFT STAMPS

Oscar A. Price, director of publicity for the treasury department, writes na- tional headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America as follows:
 "I am delighted to learn that your executive board has favorably acted upon the request or the treasury de- partment for the cooperation of the members of the Boy Scouts of America in connection with the plans of the treasury department to raise $2,OOO,- 100000 through the sale of War Sav- ings stamps.
 'The splendid results of the co-cp- eration of the Boy Scouts of America in Liberty loan No. 1 and Liberty loan No. 2 have impressed upon the treas ury department the strength and value of your organization for services of this new undertaking.
 1.-The greatest opportunity for service will possibly be along advertising and publicity lines by cooperation with the local committees now being organized in every part of the country. A spe- cial primer of suggestions and instruc- tions is being prepared for use by the Boy Scouts of America.
 "Please congratulate your officials and through them each member of the Boy Scouts of America upon their splendid achievements in the two Lib- erty loans."

gave her formal kiss, and picked up the suitcase and walked down to the gate. When he reached the corner he left his suitcase against a tele- graph pole and returned to the house. Mrs. Bowser was still on the front steps, and she hailed him with:
 "You will miss your train if you don't walk faster than that. What brought you back?"
 Say, did you put in a couple of clean handkerchiefs?" he asked.
 q don't think I did, but I will run right up and get two or three for you They say that men in battle perspire in an awful way and, of course, you want handkerchiefs."
 MT. Bowser sat down on the steps and, when she had brought the hand kerchiefs, he seemed in no hurry about going. The cat came up to him and he stroked her back in an affec- tionate way and said:
 "Of course I must uphold the honor the cat. She seems to realize that am going away to be fodder for gun powder"
 "Yes, you may be killed," replied Mrs. Bowser, but other men will be killed, too. It isn't so very dreadful to be war widow"
 MT. Bowser stood up. He looked all around. He looked up and down. He hated to go, but his country called him. He shook hands with Mrs. Bow ser, gave her another kiss and was off. He went up to the corner again and re- covered his suitcase and went march, ing. He marched about 50 feet and then came to a halt and leaned against the fence. Half a dozen men who knew him came along and stopped and asked him if he was going on jour- ney, and his reply to each was:
 q have started for the war;"
 And their exclamation in each case was:
 Good for you, old man! You are the stuff. I have been expecting to see you go for the last year. Let yourself loose when you get there.

your duty. When the honor of your country is at stake, you should be one of the first to uphold 1t. I will gladly help you get ready"
 "Yes, I am going to war and shall do my best to rout the enemy" said MT. Bowser, in less enthusiastic tones. Its one chance in thousand that ever return, for shall ask to be sent right into thi first battle which takes place."
 "Of course you will," replied Mrs. Bowser. "There will be no such thing as keeping you out of battle. As for your being killed, you must run the risk of that. Won't it surprise the neighbOrs around here. l can boast that my husband has gone to war and that he will kill terrible number of the enemy. Are you through with your dinner? If so. will help you pack"
 "Yes, I've got to pack" said MT. Bowser, but he was rather slow about it. Indeed, he did not get up from the table for about five minutes, and then he did not rush upstairs.
 About my writing you?" said MT. Bowser, as he scratched his head. "Of course, want to write you as often as can, but you mustn't expect a let ter every day."
 "Oh, no, no, no. If you write me once in two weeks, shall try and be patient about it. You will be in bat tie every day, probably, and, of course you won't have much time to write Tell me in every letter how many of the enemy you have killed that day Now you can be off us soon as you like"
 "But was going to say something important, and 1t has gone out of my mind."
 "Never mind. It will probably come back to you after your first battle, and you can write 1t. You have only a lit tie time to get to the depot. wouldn't have you miss the train for any, thing"
 Bowser was not enthusiastic. He followed Mrs. Bowser downstairs mad

MT. Bowser was half an hour late In coming up to dinner and Mrs. Bow ser had begun to worry for fear of accident, when he arrived. He came along in brisk, excited sort of way, and he had not yet entered the door when he called out:
 "Is that dinner ready? I have only ten minutes to spare."
 What Is it?" she asked, as she fol- lowed him down to the dining room.
 Tt has come, Mrs. Bowser. I have held myself back long as possible on your account, but it has come nowy'
 What do you mean. MT. BowserY
 T mean that I am going to war. Yes, sir, five of us in the office en- listed this afternoon. We are going to take the train in about an hour and 1 haven't got minute to spare. I shall have just time to pack few things and kiss you good-by and, the next thing you hear of me, shall be on the bloody field and, perhaps, have fallen with the others"
 If MT. Bowser expected Mrs. Bow ser to faint away, or burst into sobs and tears, he was disappointed. She took the news very calmly. Indeed, she rather smiled than grieved as she said:
 Il have been wondering for some time why you didn't go to war. You are an able-bodied man and 1t is really

GENERAL BYNG A SCOUT.

Boy scouts in this country are much interested in hearing that General Byng, who cracked the Hindenburg line, is one of the foremost scoutmas- ters in England.
 It was General Byng who, nine or so years ago, first instructed James A. Wilder, the famous author, traveller and Boy Scouts of America leader in the elements of the scout movement.
