Counting Up to ~soomt,t." :"

Counting Up to "1oomfit."
 4 reader who was interested in u Indian counting" that the Companit told about on this page some montl ago, has found in the London Chron cle something about a similar sort counting that was long in use in retired part of England. The Chro icle says:
 The elder generation of farmers one of our northern dales used-r strange set of numerals, especlte when counting sheep. They madss gap in the wall just wide enoughhi admit one sheep at a time, and as He sheep went through they couL.. them, making Q notch in a sticb ,. every fifteen. ....
 Theoretically the numerals sG like "Yann, tane, tether, neither, H- sax, sane, caterer, wheeler, d. yann-er-dick. tane-er-dick, tetheEe dick, mether-er-dick, boomfit."
 "BOomfit" was fifteen; when reached it they made a notch in stick and began the strange chant !. over again.-Youth's Companion. !.

For s Miles
In New Sector in Lorraine,
Repulse a German
Attack
; Divisions in Sector,
Belief in Washington
Speculation Aroused on Who
Is Commanding First
Army Corps

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Ame erican
troops are now holding something over
eight miles Of trenches on the battle
front in France, it was learned to-day
although in an airline their frontage
is only about four and half miles
This frontage is liable to extension
at any time to the regular trench allot-
mcnt for an army corps.
1rregularity of the trench lines is
responsible for their eight miles OF
length. They are laid out so that flank
ing fire may be obtained along every
part of the front. Strong points con.
tainipg machine guns jut out for this
purpose. The trenches also follow
closely any protective slope of the
country and wander up and down hill
The American sector is understood
to be divisional frontage, which
means that at least three divisions ol
American troops are there to give the
necessary support in depth for the
front lines. This fact has aroused
speculation here as to who would be
selected by General Pershing to com
mand the first corps Of his army
Major General Hunter Liggett j.
known to have acted in that capacity
but as yet the expeditionary com
mander has not made any recommen
dation.
1t is possible that the French sys
tenn will be followed in the American
army, so far as the appointment O
corps commanders goes. 1t is the Gus
tom in France TO select any one of tn,
division commanders in corps and tt
place him at the head of the corps H,
retains his rank as division com
mander. however, and in the case O.
the American army that would be ,
major general. If the French practic,
is adopted, therefore. the grade Of lieu
tenant general may be employed onl,
for field army commanders.

Especial Correspondence

DETROIT, March 6.-That plans have
been completed for the building of Il
big feet of tanks" for the United
States Army by the Ford Motor Com
nanv at its Detroit plant became known
to-day.
The first model, drafted less than two
days ago, is well under construction,
and when it has received the War De-
partment stamp Of approval manufact
urc Of the machines on an extensive
scale will be pushed with all possible
speed. 1t is expected that the first
batch Of these "tanks" will be ready
for shipment to the American forces in
France within the next two months, and
they will go forward thereafter with
the same dispatch that has marked
Ford production Of ambulanccs and
tractors. and that which is promised
for the submarine chasers which viii
be turned out soon at the new Ford
rlant, near Detroit. Oh the River Rouge
The latest Ford contribution toward
helping America win the war is to be
:. comparatively light machine. 1t is
designed to carry. driver and a ma
chine gun operator and is to be driven
/ by two gasolene engines OF standard
tpye.
It win have the familiar caterpillar
! type Of traction. and, although not in
! tended for the heavy work that has
! been done by the immense British and
French tanks" in the warfare in
! Franco, il Is expected TO prove an cx-
ceptionally effective fighting machine
The reason advanced for the haste in
completing the model for governmental
inspection is that the War Department
desires. il possible, to have the new
! "tankE" IN operation with pershing's
! forces over there in time to play a part
! in hurting back the long predicted
! spring drive Of the Germans.

and Grant All Aus
tria's Demands

The Bolshevik government in Petro-
grad may not keep it's engagement
to ratify, next Tuesday, the peace
compact signed with the Germans
at Drest-Litovsk. The capital is
being evacuated both by The gov
ernment and the populace. Mos
cow will be the new Russian capt.
tai.
Leon Trotzky has announced that
the Bolshevik leaders are pre-
pared to retire as far as the Ural
Mountains and proclaim 'holy
war" to save the Revolution from
German imperialism.
Meanwhile, according to Russian adj
vices, the Germans have not
ceased their advance into Russia,
and they have landed troops on
the Finnish Aland Islands.
Ambassador Francis. at
Vologda, has issued an appeal to
the Russian people pleading with
them not to ratify the peace pact.
Meanwhile Rumania has been forced
to accept humiliating prclimi-
nary peace agreement with the
Central Powers. The chief Teuton
demands are cession Of the Do
brudja, which means everything
south of the Danube, "rectifca-
ton" of the border between Ru-
mania and Hungary, economic
privileges for the Central Powers
and support for the transport of
Teuton troops toward Odessa.
1t was made plain that the United
States has neither assented nor
disscnted to any plan of Japan for
action in Siberia. The American
government has been fully in
formed concerning the situation
by Great Britain, and discussions
between London and Washington
are continuing. Japan has not yei

An official Russian statement saw

mander in chief, has sent message
to the German and Austrian chief com

Austrians are still fighting, notwith
standing the conclusion OF peace. En-
sign Krylenko asks whether the Ger
man high command has taken all steps
necessary for cessation of hostilities.
The Bolshevik leaders are prepared
to withdraw even as far as to the IRA
Mountains rather than subn::. to the
defeat of the resolution, said Leor
Trotzky, Bolshevik Foreign Minister
in an interview to-day with the Asso-

NJ. Trotzky said that If the Bolshe

before they overthrow the Kerensky

Sue Lawyer for
Failure to Get
Handicapped
Drafted Men Demand That
Former Boxing Commission
Head Return Money

Frank S. O'Neil, d lawyer and former
chairman of the State Athletic Com
mission, was ordered by Justice Whit
aker of the Supreme Court yesterday
to show cause next Monday why he
should not be compelled to return
$3.50, which he is alleged to have re-
ceived under promise that he would
either have relatives Of persons who
paid the money to him relieved from
military duty or at least would have
their conditions in camp ameliorated
O'Neil is associated in business
with Alphonse G. Koelble, who has fre-
quently been mentioned in connection
with pro-German propaganda, and who
is the attorney for O'Neil in the
present case. 1t is alleged by the plain
tifs that O'Neil was unable to make
good his promises.
The plaintiffs are Hanne Latner. of
1904 Fifteenth Avenue, Brooklyn; Abe
Honing, of 144 West .Twenty-seventh
Street, and Hyman Schneider. of 90
West Seventeenth Street With their
affidavits were filed checks and receipts
bearing the signature of O'Neil aid
one 'E. II. Cole,' who is said to be
man who used to appear in military
uniform
Says He Paid 81 900
Latner said in his affidavit that
his son was drafted in September.
Some one told him that O'Neil was
man of influence in army circles and
could probably arrange to have the son
released from service Latner says
that he paid $1,000 to O'Neil, getting
receipt which read that he was to
get back his money if O'Nel failed to
have the son exempted. The son was
compelled TO serve and the money was
not returned. he alleges
The complaint Of Abe Honing is that
he first paid s400 to O'Neil to have
| his brother exempted, and later paid
another S400 to the lawyer to have his
! brother transferred to an easy berth
in the quartermaster's department.
Schneider's complaint is that he gave
! $3.50 to O'Neil to use influence
to keep his brother, who is at Camp
| Gordon, near Atlanta, Ga, in civilian
clothes Subsequently, when Informed
! that his purpose might be accomplished
/ on the payment Of an additional 81 900,
/ Schneider says he gave 5000 to O'Neil.
Met Mr.. Cole
Honing said in his affidavit that at
| a meeting with O'Neil at the Hotel
Breslin the lawyer introduced him to
the man referred to as "E. H. Cole" who,
| it is alleged, ONeil said was an officer
who would bring about the transfer Of
Honing's brother to the quarter
masters department.
Another suit against ONeil,
brought on the same ground, has been
lied in the Municipal Court by Harry
Schwartz, who says that he paid $1,000
to ONeil to have his brother, who is
at Camp Upton, exempted from service.
