TELL OF ENEMY'S APPROACH
Certain Birds and Animals Make the
Best Kind of SentineIs That an
Army Can Employ.

! A wounded soldier, asked what had
surprised him most in the battle zone,
told of finding robins nest in an
empty shell case.
AS rule birds are the finest SEN
tinels in the animal kingdom. They
become aware of approaching aircraft
long before man hears anything. Early
In the war parrots were kept at the
Eiffel tower as sentinels, but they
grew accustomed to the sound of en-
envy planes and were no longer of use.
Pheasants always grow restless and
chatter noislly if zeppelins are APP
preaching, even when they are far
away, so far that man can hear no
sound.
What is perhaps stranger is the fact
that such ordinary creatures as pigs
should sight a balloon when 1t is COM
ing over. The "blister" makes no
sound, yet, should one appear against
the sky, miles from a farmyard, the
farmer will be made aware of the fact
by the curious antics of his pigs and
the ciuclxing of his hens,
Toy dogs always are susceptible to
the presence Of danger, and many a
pet shows uneasiness before a raid,
Cats, too, show fear Of gunfire md
seem TO know when danger threatens,
Dogs, birds and horses are very SEN
sitive TO sound. Watch the birds dur
ing daylight raid, listen to the dogs
and visit the stable where the horse
restively stamps up and down. But
that all animals can accustom them
selves to sounds that cause fear is
proved by our cavalry horses, dogs
that accompany their masters into the
firing line, and the robins nest in the
empty shell case.

VICTIM OF GERMAN "KULTUR"
Irwin S. Cobb Writes Of Work Of Beast
of Berlin, as He Saw It In
London Hospital.

In London hospital saw little
girl who had been most terribly
MANNED in an air raid. I am not going
TO dwell on the state of this child.
When l think of her I have not the
words to express the feelings that I
have. But one of her hands was gone
at the wrist and the other hand was
badly shattered; so she was just a
wan little brutally abbreviated frag-
ment of humanity, a living fraction,
most grievouslS afflicted.
Her wounds had ceased to pain her,
the head pgrse told me before we en-
tered, and for the rest Of the time she
was good patient, one Of the best in
the ward.
She was lying, when saw her, with
her head propped upon a pillow that
was no whittier than her face was, and
there was a pitiful wrath OF a smile
on her poor little pInched common
place face, and to her breast, with the
bandaged stump of one arm and with
her remaining hand that was swathed
in a clump of wrapping, she cuddled
up painted china doll which some
body had brought to her, and she was
singing to it.
The sight, take 1t, would have been
very gracious in the eyes Of his impe-
rial majesty of Prussla-except, of
course, that the little girl still lived;
that naturally would be drawback to
his complete enjoyment Of the spec
tacIe.-Irvin S. Cobb In the Saturday
Evening Post.

NAME GUNS BETSY and ELSIE
Yankee Artillery at ~ font Follow
Gallant Custom of French
Cannoneers.

Following a gallant custom of the
French artillery, the boys of Battery
b in one of our own f. A. regiments,
decided TO name their guns after those
whom they considered the outstanding
figures among the patriotic women Of
American history.
Many were named but two were
chosen. The first, according to Stars
and Stripes. France. was Betsy Ross,
who, In her little house in Philadel-
phia, made for General Washington
the first American flag. The second
was Elsie Janis, who, in the little huts
of France, made the first hit of the
A. e. F.
These guns are of the railway ar
tillery," the captain says, "and among
the most powerful in France, and the
names selected are now painted on the
carriages, where they will be constant
inspiration in the future, and. we hope,
credit to their namesakes."
One of these two namesakes, who
probably never thought of herself as
figure in American history at all. is
just back from a tour Of the front
where she had good many thrills, in
Guiding the thrill of finding her name
In divisional general orders.
There she delighted one of the bands
by turning drum major throughout a
long march, cheered up some young
German prisoners by talking to them
In their own tongue, and came away
much pleased by the news that Elsie
Janis II had just raised merry h
with German machine gun emplace-
ment

FIENDISH ENEMY
ADDS TERRORS

OF course they are going through
hardships, those boys from your
home and mine. Hardships are a
part of war They are the inevitable
result of a state of war. And when
war is waged by an enemy so skilled
in all the fiendish deviltries in
which the Germans have INDUCED,
they are the unacceptable portion Of
every soldier participating.
But hardships are not the part OF
the war these soldiers of ours are
thinking mos about. They are but
the incidents in the days work.
'The boys are taking hold in the
good old American way"
Could there be better statement
Of their manner of facing what comes
to them? Could there be a more def
mite course of action prescribed for
those of US at home during these
days which test the mettle of our
souls?
The time for our message to the
boys has come again. The Fourth

Are we going to take hold in the

We have not had to go through
hardships,- have been an easier
part. We have known little of sacri-
flee or deprivation. Compared with
the offering of our boys, we have
done nothing as yet And now, here
is the challenge sounded to us.
The good old American way is all
that is asked of US. What is that
way?

GOOD old AMERICAN
WAY, SOLDIER SAYS
Hardships Ignored, Wounded Man
Tells Mother-Don't Let Them
Hinder Your War Work
By Mrs. Hazel PedIar Faulkner

From a hospital somewhere in
France wounded American has writ
ten to his parents:
I'VE are going through hardships,
but che boys are taking hold in the
good old American way"
What a message for those of us
who have remained at home. What
a challenge to the vast army of men
and women who are in the home
guard, carrying ON in the thousand
and one ways that the exigencies OF
war have brought upon us.
I'VE are going through hardships."
We can believe that, when we re-
call the dauntless charges which our
boys have been making over there,
and the daily frightening casualty
lists which are resulting from their
fearless devotion to the task that is
set before them
We know they are going through
hardships, when we stop to think of
the hundreds upon hundreds who are
wounded, and who for the time be-
ing at least need care and attention.

Immediate Need For
Young Women to Re-

Mrs. c. o. Gayle, Of this place, Bos-

Council of National Defense, has sub
mitted this week additional matter
relative to the call for nurses for the
Army and those to 90 in training in
preparation for such duty. These are

mittee of Nursing OF the WOmens

IA Division, and form letter signed
by SUPERINTENDENT w. C. Gorgas, the
first mentioned merely calling atten-
ton to the other.
The SUPERINTENDENT directs his ap-
peal to the young women of the United

to the nursing campaign under direc-
ton Of the WOman's Committee Of the
Council of National Defense follows:
/ Il want every young woman in the

what ! have to say, and to give it
earnest attention. 1t is message
which every girl ought to welcome, be-
cause it tells Of an opportunity to help
the nation.
The Army and the country face Il
shortage of nurses.
The Army alone will require some
thing like $1,000 nurses by the LIST of
next January. We have secured 1900
of this number: we need 12,OGO more.
We have got to have them. or the
Army would run short, and this would
he all outcome incredible and intOler-
able to the American people.
Only graduate nurses who have
been through the full course of train
ing are available for this high service.
These nurses have to be taken out of
the hospitals and from the care Of the
sick at home. This means that when
we recruit our full quota for the Army
their places in the civil communities
must be filled. Hence. this call for
student nurses--tO fill the vacancies.

ceSsfully conducted many cases in both
the state and federal courts. He is
now serving his second term as Dis
trict Judge. During his incumbency
no civil decision rendered by him has
ever been reversed by the Supreme
Court. He has made it rule to
always open court on time, and to de-
eide cases as soon as all the evidence
was heard and the arguments submit
ted, thereby saving money to the liti-
gantS and taxpayers. The claims of
Judge Reynolds should be carefully
