Early Trench Journals.

There is a very long list of these
early trench journals, the majority of
which have been collected by Mr..
Charles de La Ronciere, who has de-
posted them at the Bibliotheque Ma
tionale in Paris for the benefit Of the
future historians of the war. They in
clude LIE Petit Echo du 18e Regiment
d'infanterie territoriale, which was
very artistically edited by Corporal
Huhuet and autographed in many col
ors; L'Echo des Tranchies, the editor
of which was the famous short story
writer Paul Reboux, and which con-
tained articles and poems by such
writer's as Poincare and Rostand,
Theodore Botrel and Henri de Reg
nier; and the Echo du Ravin, the or
gan of the Forty-first chasseurs, which
boasted of a private wire connecting
the office with abroad-the barbed
wire reaching right up to the trenches
of the Boches.-Wide World Maga-

ONE LESSON TAUGHT BY WAR
Seems Certain That Soldiers Will
Spread knowledge of the Value
of Outdoor Living.

Most of US are already planning
what we shall do "when the boys
come home!"
They have been away so long, on
such dangerous heroic mission, that
when they come back we will love
them more and treat them better than
ever before. We will appreciate them
and take more time from our fool
ish hurryings for love and comrade-
ship. We will spend more time enjoy
ing the human companionship of the
boys and each other.
But if we spend more time with
them we'll have to spend it out OF
doors-for they won't stay in the
house to playl
The men in the army and navy,
drawn from the cooped-up places OF
modern social and industrial life, have
suddenly been taught the uses and de-
lights of plain. everyday fresh air.
They like it so we'll that they won't
be content with any other kind. They
have learned what it is to sleep under
the Stars-a joy once reserved to
tramps and poets. They have watched
the exuberant glory and triumph OF
rosy sunrise and learned the solemn
beauty Of creeping twilights.
sIn Flanders fields where poppies
grow" they have learned a new and
mighty language of the common grass
and flowers, and thrill to the song of
the lark that braves the battlefelds
as they never thrilled to solemn or
gan tones.
A day in June or October is more
to them than square on the calen-
dar. 1t is a God-given time of sun
and air, and work and play, and
friendship and service-a glorious
period of full use of mind and soul
and body-for splendor Of living un.
guessed in the old cooped-up life of
indoors.
The soldiers have learned that out
doors is not just an interlude between
work and home and amusement. Out
doors is freedom and health and hap
piness-and If we want to work and
play with them hereafter we too shall
have to follow them out-of-doors.-

ments In the terminal room the
wires from the street conduit enter
to a connection with the wires to
the switch board. All the apparati
of the latter are in the terminal
chamber. next to the Partition on the
other side of which the switchboard
is fixed, making easy all work OF
adjustment, repair, etc., without IN
terfering with the operators on the
other side. In the terminal room IS
the wire chiefs desk and testing ap-
paratus.
The wires from the street conduit
enter the building in the basement
at the corner of the building, passing
through that up into the terminal
room. to connection with the
switchboard wires. The wires now
strung are sufficient to carry 1900
telephones. In the basement are
work benches, storerooms, vaults
for records, etc.
In the operating room the switch
board is the principal and most i'm
portant piece of furniture. Tt has
positions for six operators, and it is
well arranged and effective in SER
vice. 1t has a capacity sufficient to
perform four times the present SER
vice. Each call displays tiny
electric light, and when the call is
answered another light appears
alongside. So long as the conver-
sation is continuing those two di-
minutive lights continue to glow.
When the conversation ceases they
are extinguished automatically, an
intimation to the operator that the
wire is busy no longer. When the
call is made the first light shown is
all that appears unless it is answer
ed. From that fact the operator
knows without cutting in and asking
whether the party wanted has re-
sponded to the call or not.
At the long distance position is an
automatic clock like register for
making record of the minutes taken
in use of the wire by any call.
Adjacent to the operating room
there is a retiring and restroom for
the use of the operators, with toilet,
bath room and lavatory.

PROVED EFFEcT'oF MICROBES
Experiments Made by French Scientist
Reveal Possibility of Marvellous
Things in the Future.

If there were no microbes men
would grow to gigantic stature and
have intellectual powers far in ad-
vance of those which they possess at
present. What is more, It's possible,
at least, to live without microbes.
Anyway, these are the conclusions OF
no less an authority than Doctor Roux,
who heads the Pasteur institute in
Paris. They are based upon the re-
suit of some experiments carried on
by one Of his pupils, DR.. Michael Co
hendy.
Doctor Cohendy placed some guinea
pigs under glass at the moment of
their birth. The air which they
breathed was thoroughly sterilized, as
was all the food administered to them.
Unquestionably many germs were able
to reach them, but every precaution
known to science and possible with
the application of one of the COM
pletest laboratories In the world was
exercised to protect them.
The result rather astounded the doc
tor. The subjects grew with amazing
rapidity, three or four times as fast
as guinea pigs of the same age sub
sisting under normal conditions. In
the brief span of II days they were
for the most part third larger.
Doctor Roux concludes that man, If
under perfect antiseptic conditions
from birth, would develop very far be-
yond what is possible as things are
at present. He even hints that with
advancing knowledge, such conditions,
If not attained, will be so approx
mated as to materially enhance the
physical welfare and mental vigor Of
the race.

TRENTON, Aug. 9:-Adjutani
General Frederick w. Gilkyson today
notified all local boards throughout
the state that they are to have imme-
date direction and supervision of the
registration within their respective
Jurisdiction under the proposed ex-
tension of the draft age. which, it is
confidently anticipated. will be enact
ed by congress very shortly. He re-
quests them to appoint at once a
registrar or registrars for each pre-
cInct within their jurisdiction. Where
there is more than n registrar In a
precinct one will be appointed as
chief registrar. Registrars should be
appointed for each probable eighty
registrants in a precinct, the adjutant
general says. This will require one
and one-thIrd times as many regis
trars as were required In June of
1917.
Mayors, city clerks, and county au-
thorities will be called upon by the
president in regulations to assist
local boards in providing suitable
places for registration and to obtain
the cooperation of the proper election
machinery and public building, Mr..
Gilkyson asserts.
The task confronting local boards
is a great one, says the adjutant gem
eral in concluding, but 1t is confident
iy expected thai the state draft or
ganization will respond to the call
and make all preliminary arrange
ments for the registration in order
that there may be no delay ia regis
tering the person to be subject to
draft upon the passage of h neces-
sary LEGISLATION and the issuance OF

TRENTON, Aug. 9:-The Burling-
ton Sewerage Company may charge its
customers the increased rates. which
the Public Utility Commission allowed
1t to put Into effect, as of February
10, last, and the Collingswood Sewar-
age Company Is authorized to charge
its increases dating from April "a, ac-
cording to a decision OF the Utility
Board today. The action was taken as

the city OF Burlington against the

ough of Collingswood against the com
pany OF that place stated that the
companies intended to put their new
rates into effect as of August /, 1914
