BEHIND THE TIMES
His Wife Tells How She Has Lived
for Many Years Without Modern
Conveniences.

In the American Magazine q farm.
er's wife tells Of some Of her expert
ences. She says:
my husband does not, or will not,
realize that the world has moved, and
that what were luxuries a generation
ago are necessities now. One Of my
children died Of typhoid fever, the
germs of which were, no doubt, brought
by flies from the house down the road
where they had the disease; for we
haven't q screen door In the house, and
only few cheap adjustable screens.
1--WE sleep on feather beds, because
mattresses cost money, and the feather
beds were in the house-a part of the
furnishings that l married, when took
my husband for better or for worse. We
have chairs with rounds missing, worn
carpets, nlcked dishes and cooking
utensils that have long since outlived
their usefulness.
"The house is inconvenient, and for
that reason alone housework Is much
harder than 1t ought to be, and house
work Is hard enough In all conscience
on a farm. We have no water In the
house. For 25 years I have fetched
and carried water. There are two
steps between the kitchen and the din

Nolan said he could speak Por.
tuguese, and one or two fine-looking
Kroomen were dragged out, who, as II
had been found already, had worked
for the Portuguese on the coast at
Fernando Po.
"Tell them they are free" said
Vaughan; "and tell them that these
rascals are to be hanged as soon as
we can get rope enough"
Nolan explained 1t In such Portu-
guese as the Kroomen could under
stand, and they in turn to such of the
negroes as could understand them.
Then there was such a. yell of delight,
cllnching of fists, leaping and dancing,
kissing Of Nolan's feet, and a general
rush made to the hogshead by way of
spontaneous worship of Vaughan as
the deus ex machina Of the occasion.
"Tell them," said Vaughan, well
pleased, shat 1 will take them all to
Cape Palmas."
This did not answer so well. Cape
Palmas was practically as far from
the homes of most of them as New Or
leans or Rio Janelro was; that is, they
would be eternally separated from
hGe there. And their interpreters, as
we could understand, instantly said,
"Ah, non Palmas," and began to pro-
pose infinite other expedients In most
voluble language. Vaughan was rath-
er disappointed at this result of his
liberality, and asked Nolan eagerly
what they said. The drops stood on
poor Nolan's white forehead as he
hushed the men down, and said:
''He says, Not Palmas.' He says,
Take us home, take us to our coun-
try, take us to our own house. take

An officer was sent to take charge OF
her, and after a few minutes he sent

Portuguese. We were ak looking ovef
the rail when the message came, and
we all wished we could interpret, when
the captain asked who spoke Por-
tuguese. But none Of the officers did
and just as the captain was sending
forward to ask If any Of the people

this boat 1t was my luck to go.

BAN ON SOCIALIST PEACE.
State Department Refuses Passports
For Stockholm Meeting.

Washington.-Emphatic disapproval
of the peace propaganda of European
Socialists was expressed by the Ameri-
can Government, which denied pass
ports TO American delegates to the
Stockholm conference and issued a
warning that any American taking part
in the negotiations would be legally
liable to heavy punishment. No
formal announcement OF purpose was
issued, but officials explained that the
Governments course would have the
two-fold effect of discrediting general
ly any peace moves by unauthorized
persons and of condemning in particu-
lar the present Socialist agitation, re-
garded since its inceution as inspired
by Germany.

BIG FIRE SWEEPS ATLANTA.
Confined To Northeast, Outside Busi.
ness District OF City.

Atlanta, Ga.-Fire that started in an
obscure negro section swept a broad
path throusii the residential section
of Atlanta, devastating scores of
blocks and destroying many of the
Jsfty's finest homes and hundreds of
negro houses. Before ii was checked
it had burned halfway through the ex-
elusive Ponce de Leon avenue resi-
dence section.
First estimates of the damage placed
it at between 100000 and SO 900, 900.
So far as could be learned, the only
life lost was that of woman, who
died from shock. The fire was con.
fined to the northeastern part of the
city and the only business houses
burned were several warehouses near
Decatur and Fort streets, the point of
origin.

THE RED CROSS
STARTS CAMPAIGN
No Less Than 100000, O,OOO Will
Meet War Needs.
APPEAL TO THE NATION
Member OF British Parliament
Describes Suffering In
France.

Washington. = The greatest cam
paign the Red Cross ever has waged,
designed to raise $1O0,OOO,OO0 to care
for American soldiers who fight
democracy's battle on European fields
and to lend helping hand to thou
sands in the districts already devas-
tated by the war, was launched here
at meeting Of representatives of the
larger cities of the country.
Forty Cities Represented.
More than 100 men and women were
present from 40 cities and the meet
ing was enthusiastic to a degree that
indicated strong belief in the will
ingness of Americans to contribute to
the cause of mercy.
Henry p. Dawson, chairman of the
Red Cross War Council, announcing
the amount to be raised, said it was
certain $1OO,OOO,OO0 would be required
even to approach compliance With
the most pressing needs"
Must Handle Big Task.
''If each individual American con-
tributes his bit there can be no fail.
ure," he continued. America will,
We feel sure, again demonstrate her
ability to handle big task in big
way. That We may be able to per-
form this great task we shall appeal
to the generosity and for the hearty
cooperation, Of the whole American
people"
Mr.. Division did not go into details
of the plan for raising the money, but
an intensive campaign will be under
taken under the leadership of some OF
the most prominent and active men
and women in each community. Eff
forts will be made to secure the CO.
operation and assistance of recognized
leaders who will devote their entire
attention for time to the work.
War Conditions Described.
Many of the speeches describing the
suffering in France and Belgium under
German rule brought tears to the eyes
of the audience. Ian Malcom, member
of Parliament and Of the visiting War
Commission, pictured the vast machin.
cry that is behind the fighting lines to
care for the wounded, and the desola,
ton that reigns in the once thriving
and populous communities where Ger.
many has brought ruin. He said he
did not doubt the success of the effort
to raise the money needed.

England made call on Ambassador
Page and later separated for a series

cials in regard to their various special
ties. They were entertained at lunch
con by the Earl of Derby, Secretary

American khaki was very much in
evidence in London. A number of ad-

have arrived and nurses, especially Of
the Cleveland and Harvard units, in
their blue uniforms with white arm
bands labeled with the insignia of the
American Red Cross, already have be-

THE BRITISH GUT
.H|NDENBURG LINE
German Defenses Wiped Out BY
Artillery Fire.
GERMANS FIRE FEEBLE
War-Nearly Whole Line From
BulIecourt To Arras.'
Is Taken.

British Headquarters in France
So completely did the British artillery
do its work before the attack between
Croisilles and Bullecourt that 5000
yards of the Hindenburg line are
totally missing. This segment of the
German defenses was completely
wiped out
Trenches Gone.
Airplane photographs taken May
show beautifully symmetrical zigzags,
but the latest pictures taken contain
no trace Of the trenches. The support
line also was badly "strafed," some
5000 yards Of 1t now being in British
hands, leaving the Germans holding
the remaining 1000 yards. The Hin
denburg front line between the south
end of the captured trenches and
Bullecourt is in dire danger, as it Is
hanked on both sides by the British.
Germans Fire Feeble.
The engagement was really made up
of two attacks-one in the early morn
ing, when 20 prisoners were taken, and
the second late in the afternoon-the
two netting some $50 prisoners for
the days work in this sector. The
German artillery's response was very
feeble and the counter-barrage during
the attack was particularly weak.
The prisoners taken came mostly
from the Forty-ninth Reserve Division,
which was recruited in the region OF
Posen and Breslau. 1t came to the
west front from Roumania in Febru-
airy. Three officers are among the
prisoners. The men showed by word
and action that they were thoroughly
tired of war. They had been in the
line Fl days and constantly under the
British shellfire. All of them said
they had never seen anything like
the artillery fire.
Little Left OF Portions.
Although they were concreted, all
that remains of the captured portions
OF the Hindenburg line are cement
and concrete machine gun emplace-
ments. An underground corridor
parallels the support trench 35 feet
below the surface.
Several isolated posts are still
standing between the scene of the
latest smash and the Queant-Drocourt
line. These include the villages of
Reincourt and Hendecourt and other
strong points, in which the Germans
are capable of putting up strong re.
sistance.
