THREE KINDS OF GENTLEMEN
Somewhat Peculiar Distinctions That
Ar Made by Inhabitants Of the
Emerald Island.


Ireland is the only country in which
1t has ever been customary to classify
gentlemen as Of three distinct kinds OF
species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized to some extent in the Em-
erald isle, but two centuries ago, and
even much later, they were defined
respectively as (one) the "half-mount-
ed." (two) the gentleman every inch
of him." and (three) the gentleman to
the backbone"
The first class consisted of descend
ants of Cromwell's soldiers, who, If
they could ride well, were called
"Buckskin Breeches," or "Squireens."
The second class was composed Of
descendants Of old families whose es-
tates had been forfeited to the crown
(for rebellion or other reasons). and
who had been compelled to lower them
selves by working for a living, in trade
or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen to
the backbone"-comprised the old
stock. or folks who lived on the ancient
family estates and the labor of the
peasantry pertaining to their domains.

fighting in P1cardy on both sides Of
the Avre river is reported in Mondays
official statement.
1t is now two weeks since the disas-
trous repulse north of Mont KENNEL
and in that time the Germans have
gained hardly foot either in Elan
ders or Picardy. The French and
British. however, have taken some
small and locally important positions
in limited attacks, the latest advance
having been made by the French north
of KENNEL village in the capture Of
Hill A and an adjoining farm. 1t Is
felt the Germans cannot delay their
attacks In strength much longer and
that important sectors southwest of
Ypres and between Arras and the
Somme will soon resound again to the
clash of mighty battles. Meanwhile
the opposing cannon are firing thous-
ands of shells into and behind the hos
tile positions.
On the Italian front, the lighting is
becoming sharper with the Italians on
the offensive. After the successful
operation on Monte Corno. south OF
Asiago, the Italians have wiped out an
Austrian advance post on the import
ant height of Col Del Orso, between
the Brenta and the Piave. Austrian
patrol parties were repulsed north of
Lake Garda and along the line west Of
the Brenta.
In Mesopotamia, the British forces
have progressed further up the Tigris
and have captured Kirkut, pursuing
the Turks for twenty miles to the
northward. The British are now sixty
miles east of the important city of Mo-

Nineveh and the crossing of numerous
caravan routes

spOOnsful that yOur family uses each
day? Suppose you have been careful
and use only three level teaspOOnsful
in YOUR tea and coffee and on your
cereals each day. If as war meas
ure YOU agree to sacrifice that sugar
you will have saved great part of
your monthly allowance. And after
a few days training you will not

! A group of ten persons binding
themselves together in Il solemn

can save at least thirty spoOnsful a

That's quite a hit toward preserv-

members of the league with a strong

Since requesting the American

All cane and beet sugars are in
cluded - granulated sugar, cube
sugar, powdered sugar, and all re-
fined grades. Moreover, this two
pound restriction includes all raw
sugars, brown sugars, and refin-
