London, March 5.-According to the

Italian ambassadors in Toxic have
been instructed to jointly ask Japan
to take the necessary steps to safe

The German explanation to the

Officials and diplomats here profess
ignorance of what preparations have
been made by Japan for the opera

matter of course, secrecy has bene
observed and strict censorship in

force at Toxic. Possibly the next

It has been stated in official quar-

"Thorns and Orange Blossoms
One OF the cleverest bills OF the
week will be THE Man Who

suggest it is a story OF series of
ludicrous situations in which the
hero manages to get tangled and
eNtTicated without loss OF lie or
limb. "Vanderburg," the orchestra
played by Mr.. Hickman, is a young
society man who has recently lost
all his money. He decided to COM
nit suicide and makes all arrange
ments according. He later changes
his mind, but finds all his well laid
plans maturing, and he is kept busy
them throughout three
acts. The play is original clever
and IS sure to please. Miss Virginia

A Pulling Statement
About Tomorrow

Most people have observed the puzzling
ways of tomorrow how it is always
coming but never actually arrives, being
invariably separated from today by anything
from full "a hours down to fraction of
second and then in a wink suddenly
springing upon us but simultaneously
changing into "today." Here is an inter-
esting thing about tomorrow that you
may never have thought of before: eyes
terday was tomorrow, and tomorrow today
will be yesterday" Perhaps this will not
mean anything to you at first but after
thinking the statement over little its truth
will come home to you. 1t will be under
stood more readily by placing comma af
ter the first yesterday and one after the Sc
cond tomorrow. Selected

And fairly shaved her special Brigadier

In temporary movement to the rear.

While the rank of air-mechanic-an he

While Augustus sails the ocean as tenn

There's temporary shortage of the things

And the temporary pleadings of the tank,
Plus the temporary taxes that we're called
upon to bear,
Lead to temporary trouble at the bank:
The only things that haven't changed since
Wilhelm butted in
To show how Armageddon should be run
Are the views of Thomas Atkins as to who
is going to win,
And his personal opinion of the Hun.

Indians are Recruited in
Wilds of Canada

One of the strangest recruiting expedi-
tons of the war took place in the wilds of
Canada when an English lieutenant journey
ed by rail, and then seven days by canoe, to
Moose Factory, on James Bay, in the hope
of enlisting the support of Cree Indians,
says the Popular Mechanics. After con-
vincing them that he was not CONSUMPTION
officer they responded in considerable num-
bers, insisting, however, that proper allow
ances be guaranteed their families while
away. On arriving at the nearest railroad
station, where other recruits were located,
they eagerly procured such white-man con-
veniences as white pocket handkerchiefs,
and demanded shower baths in their recrea-
ton tent. These Indian soldiers are re-
ported to have done splendid work overseas.

At the beginning of the Civil war an
Irishman raised a company of volunteers.
was commissioned its captain and proceed
ed to drill the raw recruits. Being as raw
as his men, he studied his "Tactics" assid-
uously, but certain company evolutions
persisted in evading his memory and he
had recourse to his quick Irish wit to sur
mount trying situations. One day he was
marching his men in column of tours to the
drilling field, when he approached fence

The Voice of America

Now battle-born refrain,
Born in France and heard in Maine,
Rolls in mighty waves to westward
Through the shipyard and the train:
"We'll do anything you ask,
Mr.. Wilson: Name the task!''
Through the boulevards and alleys,
Up the rivers, down the valleys,
1t goes sweeping like torrent
Only heaven could restrain:
Gwen do anything you ask.
Mr.. Wilson: Name the task!''
He must feel his arm grow strong,
Fortified by such throng;
Fortified by bone and sinew
And the fighting power of song:
''We'll do anything you ask,
Mr.. Wilson: Name the task!"
Neither creed nor caste nor station
Lifts its voice in domination
Of the greater voice that's singing
With heart to right wrong:
"We'll do anything you ask,
Mr.. Wilson: Name the task!"

PiCk-UpS

155 Aviation Fatalities. Figures recently
compiled show that 155 army men lost their
lives while training at aviation fields during
the period from September l., 1917, to July
20, 1918. The list includes "a officers, IS
cadets, and 16 enlisted men and civilian in
structors. The average percentage of
deaths in the American army flying corps is
said to be slightly lower than the records of
the Allied air service and far lower than
those of Germany or Austria.
