Paris Bootblack Can Tell

That's a hard question to answer, II
YOU don't happen to know, ana
there's only one man in the world
who can look at you and tell accord
ing to latest reports from the United
States Marines in France.
A prophet? No just plain, ordl-
nary human being-and what's more,
all he needs to see is your feet! TO
be sure, he's only a bootblack, but,
nevertheless. he's the acknowledged
mud specialist" of Paris.
A letter received here to-day from
an overseas marine states: While
awaiting my turn in the specialists s
parlor recently, l observed French
soldier getting his boots polished
The man examined the mud on the
Frenchman's boots and immediately
told him he was from Verdun. 'Oul
certainment," this Poilu said, much
surprised. Then the mud doctor
gave me the once over and said;
And you monsieur, are from B
He certainly hit the nail on the
head. He has made a study of what
he calls mud culture. and is consld-
cred one of the highest specialized

Officers Here to Plan For
Active Field Training

Reports showing that units of the
Pennsylvania Reserve Militia were
being rapidly recruited and that the
new infantry companies were being
equipped with uniforms, arms and
other accoutrements as soon as mus
tered in were made to-day at con-
ference held by Adjutant General
Beary with the field officers of the
three regiments and the Cavalry

gade commander, and Colonels j. NJ

majors and staff officers attended
Their reports were declared by Cen
eral Beary to indicate fine class of

the brigade would be practically or
ganized.'
General Beary announced the plans
Tor the rifle work, directing that the
indoor practice should begin imme
diately and that outdoor work would
start in June. He also outlined the
plans for the encampment at Mt
Gretna. The machine guns, he stat
ed, were on the way, and enough
rifles for the whole brigade are in

The single feature concerning Eek
perlence, the modern morality
drama, which comes
Universal to G. @ Orpheum Thea
Appeal of ter for the week of
Experience" March is, is the fact
that 1t has an appeal
ior everyone. Because George V. Ho-
part, the author, with the inspiration
OF genius, hit upon a theme which in
stlnctiVely arouseS memories and
hopes that are universal. The adven-
lures of Youth upon the Primrose
Path are both a warning and a remi-
niscence. The sight of Wealth, toss
ing his gold away on a drunken
spree, recalls the wild and adventur-
Gus days of spendthrift folly. Not only
does this act as a deterrment to err
ring youth, but also as a reminder to
old age, that such foolshness should
cease. The scene where Youth be-
comes intoxicated is merely the stag
ing of an experience which is prac-
tically universal. Many a boy has
said to himself. Never will | take
a drop" but how many men of 30 are
there who will admit that they have
never taken drink? So this is an
'other of life's experiences which
comes close home to nearly every
one. So it is with gambling; with
the other experiences of Youth: and
so on until the end of Mr.. Hobart's
wonderful allegory with its ever
present lesson. A preachment? Yes
but a wonderful presentation of facts
which are too often forgotten.

Standard Ships Built
Not Equal to Sinkings,
Declares Sir Ellerman
By Associated Press

London, Wednesday, March g.
Standard ships produced in British
shipyards in a fortnight are not equal
to the sinkings by submarines Sir
John r. Ellerman, steamship owner,
declared to-day at a meeting oil the
Chamber of Shipping. He explained
that owing to the conditions under
which shipowners are carrying on
trade and war conditions, marine
casualties, apart from enemy action,
are double and treble what they
were in the days before the war. He
Said the output of shipping since the
war was not sufficient to make good
the losses by marine causes alone,
leaving the losses by enemy action
vet to be made up.

DEATH
The death of John Redmond at
the moment when the convention
which is to settle the future of Ire
land is having its most momentous
sessions, is considered in political
circles to be nearly a disaster. Dur
ing the weeks which the Irish con-
vention has been busy trying to find
a solution to the Irish problem, to
which he gave his life, Mr.. Redmond
exercised a great moderating infiu-
ence and if, as dispatches from Dub
lin say, there again is a prospect of
agreement, he must be given a great
measure of credit for this state of
affairs.
In fact, since he took over the
leadership of the Irish Nationalists
on the retirement of Parnell Mr..
Redmond has been among those
Irishmen who fought for a settle
ment of the Home Rule question by
parliamentary means and when the
act granting self-government finally
became a law in 1914, it was a great
triumph for him and received rec
ognition throughout the world as
was shown by the thousands of con-
gratulatory kilograms he received.
