T COLLINS CUP.
~ MARI RAHAM RQNNER

'T've not had a scrap Of fun lately"
said Peter Goblin. "Tve had SO much
work to do. | had to 60 around to see
so many children when they were
dreaming to let them know they
mustn't eat foolish things which made
them sick.
Il also had to tell them that I wasn't
a bad soul at all, but nice and jolly"
Peter Goblin grinned when he said
this.
Its annoyed me SO many times to
hear folks say to children, Look out,
the COLLINS will get YOU
"And the children always shivered
and looked into dark corners ut night
and under the beds. Oh, how angry
1t has made me. And all my brother
COLLINS have been talked of in the
same way.
Its nothing but idle gossip. to be
sure, but it has been very annoying
most-because children have believed
1t to be true.
ITO Think and Peter Goblin looked
as If he were going to cry, ITO Think"
he repeated, that children shouldn't
like us. Why, children are the incest
creatures in all the world, and l love
them, l do. That's why / am SO un-
happy when they talk about me-"
The Fairy Queen had been listening
to this talk and she felt sorry that SO
many untrue stories had gone around
the children's world about Peter Cob
lin and the goblin brothers.
"Ill tell you what I'd do, Peter" she
said.
"Keep on trying to tell as many chill
dren as you can how much you like
them. Tell them that in years gone by
people were far more nervous than
they are now. They were afraid of the
dark and things like that.
TELL them that you are W hid
ing In the dark, and that you only
come to them when they are asleep.
Explain as much and as often as you
can that you never carry them far
away from home, but that you simply
sit on their bedposts and talk tt Them"
Il give them little friendly advice
about not eating too much that won't
agree with them. But that's only be-
cause I love them,'' said Peter Goblin.
Il am SO afraid they will be sick, the
| precious dears."
"You said you had been working
very hard lately, Peter, and that you
wanted some fun. Have you been
hearing sad things? And why has your
work tired you? OF course you should
play too. I'll tell you what We'll do.
Wen give a coasting party for all the
COLLINS after your work Is over tonight.
Eth, Peter? A coasting party and a
! good hot supperY"
Zine !" said Peter. "Simply fine !"
Yes, l have been getting discouraged

their health must be conserved-in a
word, they must be kept fit to bring

And those who remain at home real

that upon the endangered shoulders of
American manhood in the fighting
ranks. BY thrift and saving, by sac
rifice, If need be, they are called upon
to form the second, but none the less
important, line of defense. They can
not engage in the actual business of
fighting, but their government has the
right to expect them to aid in support
ing the American fighting forces by
lending their money to the cause.

Of hitting them. The essential thing Is
to forbid the enemy infantry to follow

many OF these cruel speeches about
me. I do consider it's cruel to make
children hate me when / love them So"
1T does seem hard" said the Fairy
Queen. SWELL just have to work hard
to make them get over such ideas.
And I'll help YOU too, Peter
THANK you," said Peter Goblin, as
he hoped and jumped away, for he
felt far more cheerful now.
He went to call on his friends, the
children. He had a very hard time
with n little girl. "Good evening"
said Peter, as he perched himself on
the edge OF the right bedpost Of her
bed.
She drew the clothes over her head.
"Oh, don't do that" screamed Peter.
1T will make you have bad dreams
and maybe you'll smother"
"Oh, dear" thought Peter, .tshe will
dream I'm horrid indeed il she does
that" But after a moment she poked
her head out again and looked at Peter.
She couldn't help laughing at him,
for he looked SO funny and yet so sad.
But still she was frightened. until
after she had looked again (for be-
tween looks she hid her face), she saw
two big tears rolling down Peter Cob
Inns funny little face.
whats the matter, little sir?" she
asked. She wanted to be polite when
he felt so badly and yet he seemed SO
small and tiny to be called just sir.
I'm blue and sad" said Peter,
"'cause children think I'm bad. They
think / hide In the dark to catch them,
And / love them, and want to tell
them stories. Not a single goblin has
ever hurt a child-no, no, no! Why,
we would disown a bad goblin, we
would"
And at last the child saw that Peter
certainly WAS nice. and he went to the
coasting party happy that he had
proved to one little girl the truth about

action by direct hits. Every shot which
hits the mark kills several men of the
crew and often sets fire to the tank.
The artillery sections which are held
in reserve back of the front do not
know what is going on, and In general
arrive too late to be of use.
1.-The cannon, in principle, should be
placed far in advance; thus the enelly
is not able to surprise us.
1.-THE commander Of the front line
troops should be responsible for the
placing Of antitank cannon. Pieces
mounted on auto trucks are very use
full, if the roads are good.
Infantry Should Be RepuIsed.
"Infantry-The line Of battle must
not be opened, except to allow intact
tanks to pass; the troops may seek
cover, but should not fall back. 1t is
necessary that the tanks should be
put out Of action back OF the line. The
main thing is to repulse the enemy In
fantry. Several posts should be de-
tached behind the front for the de-
Tense against the tanks.
armament - The most e%flicacious
weapon against the tanks is the armor-
piercing bullet. 1t Is feared by the
crews Of the tanks, because it pierces
the N and produces at the same
time a great flame. which frequently
sets fire to the fuel reservoir.
1.-THE best method Of attacking a
tank is to attack it from the rear, be-
cause it Is not easy for its crew to fire
from behind, and because the rear is
the part the least protected. Street
fighting against the tanks is very ia
vorable to the infantry; the troops
shelter themselves In the houses, let
the tanks pass, then open fire with ma
chine guns and rifles from close range.
"Hand grenades, employed one at a
time, are useless. It is necessary to
employ q concentrated charge (several
cylinders grouped around q central
grenade), and throw 1t under the tank !;
but this Is not easy to do.
Light trench cannon (minenwerfer)
are e~fiicacious when they are fred
from a feeble angle; good results
have been obtained by the fire of iso-
lated pieces.
I'm general, the tactics II employ
against the tanks must be made the OBJ
ject Of theories and practical expert
ences; the tanks will thus lose their
terrifying effect"

SLEEPER CALLS ON
FIREMEN FOR AID

Montpelier, Jan. 1.-The Boston-Mon
real northbound sleeper arrived here a
little after 10 o'clock this morning, due
TO late connections and trouble at Bethel.
According to passengers who came here
on the train, when the crew reached
Bethel It was found they were low on
water for the engine An effort to get
some from the water tank revealed that
the equipment there was frozen. 1t was
thought that the crew would have to
pull the fire." but this would have
caused the train line to have frozen.
Then some one thought of the idea Of call
ing the hre department, which was done.
In the meantime. until the firemen could
get there. the water was fed to the tank
Of the tender from q garden hose con-
nected to a nearby house. Upon arrival
Of the department the tank was filled with
the hose used for fighting fires The
use of the small hose furnished enough
water so that the crew was able to keep
the train warm. The train came along
until 1t reached Montpelier Junction where
the engine was "coaled," after which it
proceeded enroute to Montreal. leaving
about seven hours late.

Final Is per Cent. Of the First Draft
Will he Summoned after
Second Call.

Montpelier. Dec. 27.-Gov. H. F. Gra-
ham received this morning a telegram
which In effect means that the Is per
cent. Of the drafted men who were not
called under the first draft will not be
called until after February 15. unless
they are in the FIRST class Of the new
regulations. The information has been
given to the local boards and the
press, through Col. H. T. johnson, as
acknowledgement.
Colonel Johnson has issued this in
formation to the local board:
II. Reference department Of COM
merce page 24S 8. s. r. Hereafter in
stead Of writing a letter the secretary
of commerce will indorse his approval
on the face of supporting affidacits
which he has considered favorably, and
will not write a letter.
"2. It has been decided that there will
be no more formal calls for deferred per-
centages of the present quota before
February 49, While boards should, until
they have enough men finally classify in
class one, send forward promptly men
selected under the old regulations to make
up deficiencies in calls already made, the
result Of this decision will be that we shall
be able to give the benefit of the new
classification system to all men whose or
der numbers are SO late as to place them
within deferred percentages of the present
call. Calls will. however. be made very
shortly under the provisions Of section 149
for the special class of men there mem
toned. For the sake of composing the
public mind and for the convenience OF
regstrants this information ought to be
given wide dissemination.
