PREVARICATING

Major Frederick Mears, in speech delivered at An choage prior to his leaving for the Outside said "Ihree million dollars has been expended in buying and putting in condition tho old Alaska Northern railroad between Seward and Ken Creek This amount means AN AVER AGE FOR THIS STRETCH OF THE GOVERNMENTS SYSTEM OF FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A MILE"
 Buying and putting in condtion.'
 We would like to ask Mr.. lIears who paid for the maintenance and the general operating expenses? Who paid the salaries etc. for this division? Is Major Mears trying fureh puzzle the world his great engineer ing feat .? by giving the impression that $43OOO has been spent in buyg and putting in condition this tract of railroad? Why didn't he say three million dollars has been spent on this division for buying putting in condition and general maintenance? Then perhaps IS doubtful if any such amount has been spent this division.

Fifteen years ago lIr.

TANK CHARGES TOLD ABOUT BY
 EYE WITNESS

LONDON, Jan. l7. -- A correspon- dent in describing an incident ol the British advance on the Germans in Flanders, says:
 British tanks had never been called upon TOT such extensive work, but they did m few hours what the artillery would have required days to accom- plish. The Hindenburg line was pier ccd absolutely on a wide front and to greater depth than ever before.
 The correspondent inspected the main Hmdenburg line near Hayrn- court ana saw the amazing work done by the iron monsters. In most places they mad nc trouble either in tearing through the wire or i'm crossing tren- ches.
 Gaps in the wire cntanglements were a Iod in width, where not one vcstigc of wire Was left standing, and by following the tracks of the tanks one could see where they had trundI- ed across the trenches as though they were merely scratches in the ground instead of wide, deep ditches.
 The tanks, of course, went through No Mans Land under the fall obseiva- ton of the German artillery and while the gun fire was weak, some fire was directed on the tanks as they adyanc- ed.
 It was interesting to follow the trai, of the tanks and to see where shells mad struck all about, apparently wi,h- out doing any damage, for in this whole section the correspondent did not see one tank which had been knocked out
 The condition of the German tren- ches showed plainly that the occupants had abandoned them in a hurry. All sorts of equipment and personal be- Iougings strewed the ground.

Theatrical Ball Nets
Good Sum for Red Cross

Ii there were anyone, even remotely
connected with the theatre, who were
not at the Hotel Aston last night, their
names escaped memory for the mo-
ment. The Red Cross Ball, held under
the auspices of the Allied Theatrical
and Motion Picture Team, proved a
huge success: Unlike many similar
affairs, the ball was dedicated to a
good time. And everyone had one.
Stunts" were few, but what there
were, were good.
Margurita Fonterse, of the Chicago
Grand Opera Company, who was the
model for the Red Cross poster, "The
Greatest Mother in the World" ap-
peared in the poster costume and auc
toned off 200 pictures of herself in it.
Belle Storey sang George Cohan's new
Red Cross song, Their Hearts are
Over Here While They're Over There. "
Later in the evening four copies auto
graphed by President Wilson and
George Cohan, were sold at auction.
There was beauty contest and q
beauty brigade. There were flowers
and badges and buttons and whatnots
for sale. Anyone who ESCAPED Iron,
the ball with five cent piece was con-
sidcred a Stacker. 1t was all for the
cause. VIZ

Egypt and Palestine
Linked as in Olden I iirne

Egypt and Palestine are now as
closely linked as in the days of the
Roman Empire" writes a correspond
ent with the British army in Palestine
in letter forwarded through military
channels to the Provisional Zionist
Committee.
"The broadgauge railway has been
brought up from GAIA to a point close
to the front line, distance of about
fifty miles. The old Turkish line from
Lodd to Jerusalem and the more recent
military branch line from GAIA to
Surar junction have been restored and
brought into USE
Metal roads, able to bear the daiIv
passage OF our lorries. have been built
and rebuilt over the mountains and
plains, and thousands of laborers
drawn partly from Egypt and partly
from the local villages, have been en-,
rolled to keep them in good rena;r
The communications along the front
lines, which are constantly expanding.
stretching now across the whole
breadth OF Palestine, from the Mediter-
ranean Sea to the Dead Sea, have been
nrmiy established, and we move for
ward with rs certain direction and as
ample purpose as when we advanced
last autumn on Beersheba and GAIA"

IS Per Cent of Women
OF East Side Qualify
To Become Voters

East Side mothers apparently thought
more of their holy day and their
Saturday homework than they did of
the privilege of enrolling in political
parties yesterday, for while their sis
tiers in some uptown districts stood in
long lines to qualify for the primaries
the women of the Bowery and East
Broadway struggled in casually and
infrequently to avail themselves of the
first experience in the great adventure
of voting.
With their babies on one arm, their
Sunday dinner under the other and
their naturalization papers tucked in
somewhere among the carrots and po-
tatoes, about 10 per cent of those eli
gible did appear in the morning and
afternoon, however. These were Ital-
ians, Irish and unorthodox Jews, for
the orthodox Jews may not write on
their Sabbath. 1t was not until after
shutdown, therefore, that the Jewish
mothers appeared in any numbers. The
East Side women as a whole probably
made about q Is per cent showing.
If it had not been for the working
have probably been even fewer enrol
ments. for everywhere the mothers
were piloted to the booth by their more
aggressive young daughters, whose
first act on returning from work was
to take mamma" by the hand and
lead her to the candy store or barber
shop to enroll. Mamma would often be
self-conscious and fearful of her right
to enter the sacred booth, but the diff
fcult business of answering questions
and the painful duty of signing her
name were engineered through by the
daughter, who then would rattle off
the answers to her own QUESTIONABLE
with the air of veteran.

Miss Lusk Was Insane.
Expert Testi6es
First Alienist for Defence Is
Called After Defendant
Finishes Life Story

WAUKESHA, Wis, May 25.-Grace
Lusk completed telling the story Of her
life to-day at her trial for Staying
Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts, and the
defence Immediately began the intro
duction CT expert testimony to prove
her insane.
DR.. H. w. Powers, of Milwaukee, in
answering Hypothetical question
nearly i've thousand words in length,
declared that in his opinion the de-
PENDANT was not of sufficient mental
capacity at the time of the tragedy to
distinguish Between right and wrong,
and that she was suffering from
paranoia.
The question recited at great length
Miss Lusk's early history, the fact that
she frequently suffered from headaches
which rendered her unable to perform
her duties as school teacher, that there
was an apparent strain of insanity in
her family, that just before meeting
DR.. Roberts she had suffered a nervous
breakdown, and her relations with the
veterinarian. Stress was laid on
points which had been emphasized in
the testimony of both Dr. ROBBERS and
Miss Lusk.
After Miss Lusk left the stand her
aged father, A. P. Lusk, was called by
the defence and testified that when he
was on -'is honeymoon his wife at
tempted to commit suicide because of
some trivial remark he had made.
More alienists will be called Monday
to testify for both the prosecution and
