CHAPTER XVII.

Getting Through the Lines.
Waiting until 1t was quite dark, l
made my way carefully through
dreaded barrier.
1t was all that I had heard about 1t.
Every foot OF the border line between
Belgium and Holland is protected in
precisely the same manner. 1t is there
to serve three purposes: first, to pre-
vent the Belgians from escaping into
Holland second to keep enemies, like
myself, from making their way to free
dom; and third, to prevent assertions
on the part of Germans themselves.
One look was enough to convince any
one that it probably accomplished all
three objects about as well as any con-
trivance could and one look was all I
got of it that night, for while I lay
on my stomach gazing at the forbid
ding structure I heard the measured
stride of German sentry advancing
towards me and l crawled away as
fast as l possibly could, determined
to spend the night somewhere in the
fields and make another and more
careful survey the following night.
The view I had obtained. however,
was sufficient to convince me that the
pole-vault idea was out OF the Ques-
ton even IL had pole and was a
proficient pole-vaulter. The three
fences covered a span Of at least twelve
feet and to clear the last barbed wire

death. There would be no second
chance If you came cropper the first
time.
The silt idea was also Impractical
BILE because of the lack of suitable
timber and tools with which to con-
struct the stills,
It seemed to me that the best thing
to do was travel up and down the line

more favorable, although don't know

lines.

COAL SCARCITY NOT ENDED.
Estimated Visible Supply Three Tons t,
Customer.

Philadelphia. Pa, March l9.-DangeI
OF a continued scarcity OF coal and the
necessity of conservation to supply war
industries and the government are point
ed out in statement by the anthracite
operators general committee here
The committee discloses that there
are only three tons of domestic coal,
on an average, for every consumer
The statement, which serves as a
warning against boarding says:
with the fuel administration sug.
costing to the anthracite consuming pub
lie that they order their next winters
supply of coal after April |, the in
ference should not be taken that coal is
plentiful now and that yards are stocked
up with it,
"The total population of the anthra-
cite burning area, which includes New
England and the middle Atlantic states.
Is 32S77 800. II merely 25,000,000 of
this total should be taken for a basis,
it would mean that there would be three
tons TO every consumer, there having
been 100000 tons of anthracite mined
in 1917.
The fact should also be noted that
the constantly increasing number of
war industries in the anthracite burn
ing area, with the larger body of work
crs, adds TO the growing demand for
anthracite in the coming spring and sum
mer.

AMUSEMENT NOTES
Patricia Ceilings Has a Large Circle of
Admirers.

In recent years the movie actor and
actress, with their audience of five ia
fifteen millions, have taken place in
the public mind as having the biggest
correspondence outside perhaps some of
the nations largest corporations. But
Patricia Ceilings, who plays the title
role in "Pollyanna," the glad play that
is to appear at the opera house Friday,
March -, is an exception among act
resses of the legitimate stage when 1t
comes to question of mail.
Miss Ceilings has an audience almost
as large as that of the movie actress.
She has won the interest not only of the
hundreds of thousands of men, women
and children who have seen the delight
full comedy which Mrs. Catherine CHS
holm Cushing has written, but she has
also an additional audience running into
millions who have read Mrs. Eleanor
II. Porter's glad books of the same name
and from which the play was made.
To the reader of the book as well as
admirers of the play, "Pollyanna" is
really nothing more or less than Patri-
ella Ceilings. Her photograph is to be
found on the walls of most of the now
famous Pollyanna clubs of which there
are many scattered from coast to coast.
And with most of the folks young and
old, Miss Ceilings is constantly in touch.

told. Barnes was accompanied TO a po-
lice station. where he explained that
Uncle Sam was an impersonal term,
that his criticism was that the country
was not responsive 10 the alarms of
war and that there was no reason TO
challenge his patriotism.
Barnes left for Albany Sunday. 4

LANSING MAY SOLVE TANGLE.
Will Testify Before Foreign Affairs Com
mittee in Regard to Right of
Entry Bill

Washington, March l9.-Secretary OF
State Lansing will appear before the
House committee on foreign affairs this
week in an attempt to straighten out
the committees differences over the right
of entry bill. A number of the commit
tee members headed by Congressman
John Jacob Rogers OF Massachusetts,, arc
opposed to the bill III it's present form
declaring it rivals the Oyerman bill in
the drastic provisions it contains. These
members believe that some legislation is
advisable and they hope to be able to
get together after Mr.. Lansing testifies.
Most of the testimony is held conf
Dental. Heads of various departments
have declared that had the bill been law
when the war began it would have been
possible to have kept many German
propsgandists out of the country and to
have expelled many others.

HOW TO BALK
THE INFLUENZA

Don't congregate in crowded
places, more especially if there
is lack of ventilation. When rid
ing in street cars see that the
ventilators are open.
Don't use common towels or
drinking cups. Persons appar-
emily we'll may carry the germs
in the secretions of the mouth
or on their hands.
Don't fail to wear clothing
according to the temperature of
the day. Avoid exposure to wet.
Don't allow yourself to become
fatigued. Regular habits, good
food and exercise are excellent
preventives.
Don't sleep with the windows
closed. Fresh air is good germ
icide.
Don't cough or sneeze with
out using the handkerchief. The
fine spray of mucus blown into
the air by these acts may con-
tain the germs of influenza.
Don't work among others
when you have a severe cold.
Employers are instructed to send
home those who have suspicious
symptoms of influenza.
Don't treat cold yourself.
Call in the family physician,
who will determine the nature of
the case. The patient should oc-
cupy the sickroom alone and
should be isolated from others
in the household.
