ALL ENEMIES MEET IN BERNIE
Streets Are Thronged With Thousands
Of Men Who Have Been Interned-
Must Wear Uniforms.

At any time of the day in the Swiss
capital one sees the uniforms of both
sides on the streets, for there are thou
sands of French, British, German and
Belgians interned In Switzerland, and
according to the rules Of the game,
they must wear their uniforms, In or
der to make the breaking of parole
harder writes VIII Irwin in the Sat
urday Evening Post.
My first sight of a German Fritz
clumping down the streets in his neu-
trail green uniform and his stout mill
tary boots gave me a kind Of shock
of surprise. 1t Is three years now,
since-in Belgium last beheld free
man In German uniform. Today
saw dozens of men in French uniform
pass other dozens in German uniform.
Each party to these meetings would
look straight ahead, pretending he had
not noticed.

pies the shops are displaying such
signs as these: "Swiss Manufacture"

"PlU BoxT Defense e

The ''pill box" defense appeared In
the German lines some time this year,
says the Scientific American. The
pill box" is the British soldiers name
for a small, round, concrete block
house which contains German machine
gunners. The pill box" appears to
be the smallest Of German concrete
defenses, some Of which are nothing
short of fOrtresses in every sense Of
the word.
The pill box" strategy, which has
been offset by heavier allied gunfre,
comprises the use of shell holes, trees,
rocks and every other available shell
ter for machine guns, instead of the
old style rows of trenches. In other
words, there is a "zOne of Defense"
The organization of this zone of de-
fense is such that the aerial Observ-
ers of the allies cannot detect the in
dividual machine gun posts; hence di-
rect hits by artillery become almost
Impossible except by mere chance.

RenzoI 70 the Rescue

Experiments recently conducted BY

Power, proved that mot only is ben
zOl more valuable than gasoline as a
motor fuel when used straight, but it's
effective value is increased by being
mixed with gasoline. These expert
ments indicate that a mixture of equal
parts of gasoline and benzOl gives a
value over 16 per cent greater than
that of straight gasoline, which shows
30 per cent increased value for the
benzOl half. In many quarters alcO-
hOl is looked upon as the ultimate fuel,
but it cannot be employed except with
great difficulties, owing to it's high hy-

Explaining the Universe.

l suppose that we have all had mo,
ments of sudden illumination when il
occurred to US that we had explained
the universe, and it was so easy for
us that we wondered why we had not
done it before, says S. NJ. Crothers in
the Atlantic. Some thought drifted
into our mind and filled us with vague
fOTebOdings of Omniscience. It was
not an ordinary thought that explained
only fragment of existence. 1t ex
planned everything. 1t proved one
thing and it proved the opposite just
as well. 1t explained why things are
as they are, and if it should turn out
that they are not that way at all, il
would prove that fact also. In the
light of our great thought chaos
seemed rational. Such thoughts usual
ly occur about four o'clock in the
morning. Having explained the uni
verse, we relapse into satisfied slum

we wonder what the explanation was

LACK OF PRAISE FOR POETS
Complaint Is Registered That Insuffi-

Living English Writers.

In an article in the Bookman on
twentieth century English poetry, Prof,
William Lyon Phelps quotes William

nent praise bestowed upon living Do
cts and as saying that with one ex-
eeption, meaning Kipling, there is not
4 single English poet the sales of

ron. with that one brilliant excep-
hOn," says Watson, "England's living
singers succeed in reaching only a
pitifully small audience" In COM
menting on this passage, Professor
Phelps says:
we ought to remember that Scott
and Byron were colossal figures, so big
that no eye could miss them, and that
the reason why Kipling has enjoyed
substantial rewards is not because of
his political views, nor because of his
glorificatiOn Of the British empire. but
simply because of his literary genius.

Refugees Stole From Police.

The gratitude" of some people who
found shelter in an East London pO-

a new broom and some enameled

stole a clock, two pairs of boots and
some provisions, and damaged some

Lacustral Settlements

The lacustral settlements were
places Of refuge for a pastoral and ag
ricultural people, and the light and
dryness that characterized the dwell
ings show a step in advance toward
more permanent abOdes. In this period
science places the beginning of civil
zatiOn. By these lacustrine men spin
ming and weaving were invented. Ag
riculture was born among them; ami
mails were dOmesticated-the OK, the
COW, the sheep, the goat the dog. The
uses Of metal were discovered, and
the age of iron was ushered In. Habi
tations similar to these still exist in
the East Indies, and among the Anna
zonian tribes of Maracaibo. They ex
listed also In Lake Prasias, in Thrace
