AS such they wore closely observed and wide

Such things now seem TO have little or no

Foreign Minister may rise up in Austria or
new Chancellor in Germany, but neither Of
these powers is shaken or even disturbed by
the fact. France has had three or four Pre-
mcrs since the began. and tho present
head OF the French ministry has served in
that position twice. The Asquth ministry
gave way to tho Lloyd George regime in Eng
land, and while this marked new epoch in
the war, tho fact that it did was the cXccp-
ton and not tho rule.
The recent shakc-up in the Cabinets OF
Austria and Hungary, therefore, should not
be taken furccastng any new change Of
policy by that empire. Austria is completely
dominated by Berlin 1t has reached the
stage OF vassalage. Either fear or impotence

designs and German military programs.
There was time, somewhat more than a
year ago when the people OF Austria Hungary
were close to revolt. They wero sick and
hungry. Their losses had been stupcndous,
and their government had nothing whatever
to show for their sacrifices. The people were
clamoring for peace. and their statesmen were
yielding TO the clamor.

Foch's Name Not Teutonic;
Almost Rhymes With "Hush"

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived regarding the correct pronuncia-
ton of the name of the new generals
Simo of the allied armies.
On paper Foch seems T%eutonic, says
the Chicago Herald, and suggests
throaty gutturals of the kind that are
no longer popular in the civilized
world. But the name is pronounced
as if it were spelled Fosh, with a short
So" like "uh," and almost rhymes with
"hush." This is on the authority of
LIE Courier DIES Etats Unis, a French
daily newspaper published in New
York.
General Foch is a Basque from the
Pyrenees, not an Alsatian. All Basque
names terminating in sch" have the
soft Ssh" sound instead of the Ger
manic cultural.

"The provost marshal-general's de-

as the finest army and navy cops In
the world. Wherever United States
uniformed men are found in large mum.
Der, wherever American property in
warehouses and on the waterfronts in
France is collected and made ready
for shipment to the front lines, the
provost marshal has his men on the

Sudden Retreat of an Army
Is Often Reduced to Chaos
And the Resultant Disorder

Moving a great army Is an affair
of timetables. There is room for only
q certain amount of men and mate
rial on the roads and railways at one
time, and every nan and every
wagon above that maximum becomes
a factor of confusion and retards the
movement of the whole mass to a
dangerous degree" writes G. Ward
Price in the Century. "The sudden
retreat of an army is often reduced
to chaos, first, because a thoroughly
worked out plan of general retirement
exists but rarely in the strong-boXes
of any general staff, and, secondly,
because in the absence of a timetable
drawn up in detail and strictly en-
forced, the elementary principle of
self-preservation leads every unit of
the army to put itself on the road
just as quickly as it a get trans
portation. This is not to say that
confusion is an invariable indication
of personal panic; but it is very nat
ural, and eve very proper, that every
battery commander, the director of
GNGly AililldiJ 9iO1C liz dCDOI, lin
the leader of every body of troops
which is not definitely ordered to re-
main, should have the individual de-
termination that his particular COM
mand shall not fall into the hands of
the enemy.
1.-THE artillery officer firmly resolves
that he will save his guns at all
costs; the heads of the supply depart
ments are in charge of valuable stores
which their army needs for its very
existence and which would be of great
aid to the enemy if captured, and the
troop leader naturally argues that it
would be futile to allow his men to
be cut off when a general retreat has
been ordered. So if the organization
of withdrawal is left to the discre-
ton of the people involved in it, as
it has to be when the whole thing has
not been deliberately arranged before
hand, confusion is almost inevitable"

SAW DEVIL IN RED HAIR
But the Preacher Was Smashed and
Fined.

Rev. Frank L. Johnson, pastor of a
Pentecostal church at Chico, CAL, saw
the red hair of Walter Kemplery in his
congregation and mistook it for the
red challenge flag of the devil.
Grasping a chair near the pulpit,
Rev. Johnson made a wild dash
through the crowded pews, crying as
he sped:
"There's the devil within a red
haired nan The divine spirit tells me
to drive out the sin with forcel"
And leaping over or brushing aside
all Instructions, human and otherwise,
the pastor reached Kemplery, and by
means of the chair began converting
him to the ranks of the blessed.
But Kemplery took his turn at see
ing red about that time and instead of
the devil he made a flank movement
and sent an artillery blow into the
midst of Rev. Mr.. Johnson's front-line
trench.
Furniture was pretty well banged up
and the resG of the congregation were
worse than panic-stricken when the
police arrived. Both Johnson and KEN
plery were arrested and taken before
Judge Barnes, who fined them $40
each.

Take Tip From Old Mother
Nature When in Doubt About
Time to Plant Your Garden

From the United States Department OF
A~griculture)
BY watching the processes of moth
er nature and taking a tip from her,
the home gardener who is not certain
when he should plant his seeds may get
some valuable information. Garden
specialists divide vegetables INTO two
classes swarm temperature" and
"cold temperature" vegetables. When
peach and plum trees r in blossom,
they say, it is time to SOW in the open
ground such seeds as lettuce, radish,
parsley, beets, turnips, cabbage, car
rots, peas, and onions. The wrinkled
peas should not be planted until later,
as they are more likely to rot in cool
ground than are the smooth varieties.
When the apple blossoms fall it is
time to plant the heat-loving vege-
tables, such as cucumbers, beans,
sweet corn, pumpkin, and squash.
This is said to be an old but excellent
rule.

HAS A BIRD FARM
Takes the Trouble to Build House for
Them on His Place.

Them on His Place.
There is a man in Michigan who
takes the trouble to build comfortable
homes for birds. In March, 1914, f.
A. Stuart began to equip his property
of 1878 acres, near Marshall, as q
bird sanctuary. At the last count he
had set up 1,434 bird boxes in scien-
tific arrangement so as to realize the
best possible results.
On June 13, 1916, he found 292 bird
families enjoying the hospitality of his
houses, besides the multitudes breed
ing after the native wild fashion in
the trees, bushes and fields on his es-
tate. Martins, bluebirds, tree swal-
lows, wrens, robins and phoebe birds
are among the varieties in this bird
refuge.
Mr.. Stuart takes great care to in
spect the premises every 81 days, these
trips of inspection including the exact
number of homes occupied, the num-
Der of nests, eggs or young, and the
kinds of birds. The houses farther
away from the buildings are more
freely used, especially by tree swal-
lows and bluebirds. At a distance
from the buildings the little bird
houses are mounted on fence posts, or
on iron gas pipe eight or ten feet high.
Others are on the edge Of the wood
land and in the interior of the woods.

FOR THE POULTRY !
GROWER

the United States Department of Agri-
crltura


Owners of back yards in cities and
towns are asked to do everything in
their power to help the meat and egg
supply by raising small f1ocks of poul-
try in back yards. Farmers are re-
quested greatly to increase their farm
fiocks of hens so that 100 on every
farm will be the average for the ma
ton.
The following statement regarding
the poultry needs is taken from the
official agricultural program for 1918
issued recently by the United States
department of agriculture:
"Poultry production should be in
creased greatly, especially in back
yards and IN farms, where waste ma
terial is available and the purchase of
expensive grains and other material is
not required.
Increased poultry production may
be attained most economically by early
Matching; by combining mother hens at
least ten days after the chicks are
Matched; by reducing losses on ac-
count of rats, weasels and thieves, and
from cold, damp conditions; by thor
ough sanitation; by discouraging the
marketing of early-hatched pullets as
broilers by eliminating non-producing
hens and keeping good layers through
at least two laying seasons; and by
the poultryman raising his own feed
as far is possible"

HAS SIX SUPER-SUBMARINES
Germany's New Boats Have Cruising
Radius of 10000 Miles.

Information received in an official
quarter in Washington credits Ger
many with having completed the con-
struction of six super-submarines of
1900 to 1900 tons capacity, with a
cruising radius of 10000 miles, and
that six more U-boats of the same de-
sign are being rushed toward compile
ton.
Germany has designed the newer
submarines, it was said, to be superior
to destroyers. 1t was said that the
allied admiralties have known for more
than three months of the actual con
struction of these super-submarines,
which, it is believed, follow or general
lines the construction of the CONNER
cfal U-boats, one of which, the Deutsch-
land, visited the United States.
