The Last Leaf

You remember Oliver Wendell
Holmes The Last Leaf" 1t is very
timely at this season Of the year and
al this season Of the world war.
Not so long ago there was a won
derful lour-leayed clover bearing the
names of four OF the Powers Of Cen
trail Europe. It was the taIlsman OF
invincible destiny which wa 20 lead
the HohenzoIerns and the napsburgs,
the Jehovahs and the Allahs to domin-
ion over mankind,
But where is that four-leaved mas
cot now?
Truly "the melancholy days have
come"-the days of last leaves every
where First the leaf bearing the
legend, Bulgaria" withered and
dropped. Then Turkey Then Austria
Hungary To-day only a last leaf is
left 1t is interesting mainly now as o
bean bag is interesting as subject
of speculation How long win it be-
everybody is guessing, before this last
Leaf follows it's erstwhile companions
to the limbo Of last and lost leaves?

John Ziska

The reported successful revolution
in Bohemia recalls the fact that the
patriotic spirit of Bohemia produced
in John Ziska, leader whose military
genius has been compared with that
of Hannibal.
Ziska. educated in the profession OF
arms at the court of King Wenceslas
at Prague, fought OH the English side
Of Agincourt. He led the HUSTLE re-
bellion against Emperor Eigismund, in
1919. organizing a well-dsciplined
army. Lacking cavalry he substituted
for defense against cavalry charges
cart forts" made OF baggage wagons
When Sigismund sent an army OF
80. 900 against him, Ziska took his po-
sition upon Mt. Vitkov, near Prague
with levy OF 1000, defeated the
enemy with great slaughter The VIC
tory gave to the heights the name
"Ziska Hill" which it bears today. lie
defeated Sigismund at Pankpatz, cap
ured The fortress Of Vysehrad, again
defeated Slgismund at Deutschbrod'
and invaded Austria.
One-eyed at the beginning Of the
war. lie lost his other eye by an AFRO"
al the siege of Raby Castle, but con
tinued with unbroken success to direct
his troops.
sieismund found it impossible to
subdue Bohemia, and began negotla-
tons by which the Hussites were to
have full religious liberty, Ziska to be
the Governor of Bohemia. Ziskas
death occurred before the plan had
been completed.
II was upon the life OF this remark
able Bohemian that Messner based his
epic "ziska."
The patriotism of Bohemians al
ways has burned as a steady flame.
Not from The Prince Of Pilsen,
nor yet from Henri Murger's use OF
the term bohemia" does one get an
impression of the Bohemian.

CANDY MAKING SUP
PORTS THOUSANDS
OF EMPLOYEES

In answer to complaints that while
sugar at their grocery store, the con-
fectioners windows next door are
filled with candies, Magnus Swenson,
Food Administrator for Wisconsin,
explained the attitude of the Admins
tr2tion toward the manufacture of
candy.
Consumers have no knowledge of
the amount of sugar used by the con-
dictionary industry" he said. The
Bureau of Chemistry and clever con-
PETITIONERS are constantly experiment
ing upon sugar saving formulas con
tanning corn and maple syrup, honey
and invert sugar.
I'VE have cut their sugar allot-
ment to so per cent of the amount
they used during a corresponding
period last year Before this ruling
went into effect confectionerss used
only per cent of the total sugar con-
sumption in the United States; now
they consume only 4 per cent. This
averages one-half teaspoonful per per-
son per day.
Would you have the Food Admin
istration close a big industry involv-
ing millions of dollars and which pro-
.vides the means of living to hundreds
of thousands of employees to save
one-half teaspoon of sugar day for
vou?"

So JEWISH WORKERS
GOING lover THERE"
Col. Barker Bids Godspeed to
the Graduates of Train
ing School.

The whole-Souled cooperation be-
tween the seven great organizations
working for the happiness and welfare
of our soldiers and sailors was re-
Gently illustrated at the graduation
exercises of the tenth class of the
Jewish Welfare Boards Training
School in New York. Col William S.
Barker who went to France represent
ing the Salvation Army with the first
contingent of our troops and has been
cover there" fifteen months, was the
principal speaker and wished the fifty
eight Jewish workers of the class God
speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi-
nent Jewish attorney and philanthro-
pist of New York, lauded the work of
the Salvation Army among the boys
at the front.
"What our fighting boys need is in
spration and heart and character in
those who are there to help them"
declared Col. Barker you will rep
resent in the camps and overseas the
ideals and standards of the Jewish
faith, and it is up to you above all
things to be consistent in your re-
ligious practices. Practice what you
preach. That, l am sure, has been
the secret of our own success. If you
live up to the principles of your faith
and give what you have to give from
heart big with love, the boys will re-
spect you, whether they be Protestant,
Catholic or jew"
The newly graduated field workers
will make a total of 260 men doing
field work in our camps and naval
training stations under the auspices
of the Jewish Welfare Board. The
Board has about fifty "huts" in the
various camps and maintains centers
in all large cities where soldiers and
sailors of all faiths are welcomed. a
headquarters has recently been estab-
lished in Paris, and 100 men are being
recruited here for overseas work.
There are now nearly 125,000 Jews
serving in the army and navy.

SERVICE THAT WINS
The SOLDIER HEART
Fred LoCkIey, Y. M. c. A., Tells of
the Gratitude Of the Boys
at the Front.

"One of the discoveries men are
making over here" Fred Lockley, of
the Y. NJ. G. A. and of Portland, Ore
gon. writes from London, lis that
more pleasure can be had out of Civ
ing than getting. Many man who
has spent money freely in the old days
to buy pleasure is finding that he gets
more pleasure over here by the spend
Ing of ones self in the service of others.
"A few months ago | went out with
fellow Y. Nj. c. A. secretary to hunt
up out-of-the-way detachmenls of
troops. A stable guard here, a ma
chine gun company there, platoon
somewhere else. We carried our
goods in an automobile. We had
plenty of writing paper and envelopes
for free distribution, and chocolate,
cookies, chewing tobacco and smoking
tobacco, cigarettes razor blades,
tooth paste and things of that kind for
sale. American war service workers
were busy everywhere. We found Sal
walton Army lassies making doughnuts
for the boys and X. of G. secretaries
giving help. Books furnished by the
American Library Association were to
be seen on all sides.
Hearing firing at a distance, we
drove down the road and found a
score or so of men at machine gun
practice The officer gave the men
half an hour recess to buy goods
AT another place we came In sight
Of a lieutenant drilling a platoon |
said to the lieutenant: How soon be-
fore you dismiss the company? We
have Y. NJ. G. A. goods for sale
"IIe said: Right now Sergeant,
dismiss the company
And ten seconds later the company
was In line waiting TO buy goods from
our travelling ". Grateful is no name
for It. The men can't do enough to
show their gratitude"

ASK FRUIT PITS
FOR GAS MASKS
GAS DEFENSE SERVICE NEEDS
ALL FRUIT PITS AND NUT
SHELLS TO MAKE
CARBON.

"a Few Peach Stones May Save a
Soldiers Life" is the caption adopted
by the Wisconsin Food Administration
for its work in collecting fruit pits for
gas masks
Pits of apricots, peaches, prunes,
olives, dates, cherries and plums and
the shells of Brazil and hickory nuts,
walnuts and buttelnuts are needed by
the Gas Defense Service of the Army
to make carbon for the masks. Only
those mentioned in the above list are
of use; no others should be mixed
with them because time and labor
must not be wasted sorting them out.
The nearest Red Cross organization
will take care of all that you may
bring them.
Commercial Gamers and packers
will be able to contribute the most and
are urged to save and dry all their
pits. They should communicate, with
Lieut.. w. NJ. Jackson, Chemical War

WnsOnstadt

A Wilson dispatch forwards news
paper reports that The Czccho-Sloyak
Council OF state has decided to make
presburg the capital of Sloyakia and
TO change it's name to Wilsonstadt
"Wilsonstandt,' a city OF Hungary,
important as a strategic point and a
trade center from It's river and rail
road facilities has It's place in the his
tory OF Middle Europe" For more
than 200 years it was the capital OF
Hungary and il was the seat of Par
lament until lSlS. II had it's full
share in history when hungary was
making history and gave It's name to
the treaty Of peace between France
and Austria by which Bavaria and
Wurtemburg. two of Prussa's present
yassals, became Kingdoms and Aus
tria, suffering a defeat only second 10
what she has now suffered, made over
her Venetian holdings to Italy.
Such are some Of the passages in
the story OF Presburg, not nothing in
that story approaches IN importance
the new chapter which is written in
the change OF It's name to Wilsonsladt
and It's adoption as their capital by the
emancipated citizens OF one Of the new
sovereign States rising with the now
age that follows the overthrow of the
last stronghold OF autocracy and ty-
ranny
Wilsonstadt is we'll rechristened.
