Finance The Main Question

The question Of finance is one that
must be solved before anything else Is
undertaken. Mr.. Robinson must have
help from outside and some from with
in to put the project across. II Is
figured that at least $4,000 must be
figured upon with certainty.
One OF the mining companies doing
business here has already signifed It's
willingness to take $4,000 worth Of
stock and II is thought that the other
companies and the owners of fees in
this district will take like sums OF
stock. Mr. Robinson enjoys an ex-
cellent reputation as business man
and the companies have confidence In
his ability to make the project pay
although II Is not expected that a high
return will be had for the first five or
six years at least.
Mayor Bridges is outspoken in say
ing that the city should do something
in the way of making investors an In
ducement to invest This can be done
best through the matter Of taxes and
It Is quite probable that some con-
cessions will be made In that line.
Need Of Hotel Felt Badly
The need OF a new hotel Is felt very
badly these days Mrs. Moberg is do
ing nobley and so Is Mrs. Green in
taking care OF the travelling public
but both OF those places had plenty
OF business before the Lockwood burn
ed and the extra demand upon them
keeps both places on the jump.
II is going to be expensive build
ling now but the city needs the build
ing and the extra expense cannot be
looked at too much.
Mr.. Bridges says that such action
should be taken as to insure a hotel

PARIS, Feb. 1. (By Mail.)-The
babies now being born in Germany
are two centimeters smaller than the
average normal German baby in peace

This is due to the decrease both in
Quality and quantity of the food now
available in Germany.
German medical reviews and maya.
zines which have just reached Paris
dwell at length upon the fact that the
latest development of this under-nu-
triton of the German population is to
retard the growth and development
of babies both before and after birth.
AS early as in 1916, DIR. Schlesinger
OF Strasbourg was able to establish
that the rationing OF the German pop
ulation had resulted in decrease in
the weight of babies at their birth
In the Deutsche Medizinische
Woochenschrift of December 13, 1917,
he gives statistics showing that the
lack OF nutrition of the mother has
now resulted in retarding the growth
and development of the babies as well
as reducing the weight. He estab.
fishes that the average German baby
at birth now is two centimeters be.

FIVE LAST YEAR men
ON C. N. A. IS TEAM
MuMPs PUTS THREE STRONG
PLAYERS OUT OF OPENING
GAMES OF SEASON..

With five of last years men in the
lineup for the 1918 season Columbia
Military Academy has every prospect
of developing a pennant winning ag-
gregation before the end of the ses-
sion. A slight epidemic of mumps
has put three of the best players out
of the opening game and has delayed
the beginning Of the season, but even
with this handicap the cadets will
meet the Greene school Friday after
noon and expect to win. A practice
game between the cadets and the
high school team will be played this
afternoon.
The men who will be out of the game
with Greene school Friday are Nancy,
Mccall and Embry.
Burkhead Embry, Farmer, Buckle
and Duncan are veterans of last sea
son and will make the team strong
this year. J. Mccall is new man
who is counted on to put more than
ordinary brilliance into his playing in
left field. Buckle at first base and
Embry as receiver when he RECEIVERS
from the mumps, are expected to be
powerful factors in the victories that
are ahead.
The probable lineup in tomorrow
game will be: Burkhead and Swan,
catchers; Farmer, pitcher; Buckle,
first base; Couch, second base;
Thomas, short stop; Duncan, third
base; Mccall, j., left field; O'Neal,
center field and Yaeger, right field.
Horn, new man added to the
pitching staff, is expected to do val
liant work later in the season.

Correspondence of the Associated

front in Northern France won the
everlasting gratitude of the civilian
population of little market town in
the mining district this week by put

(which had started in to make life
miserable for the local inhabitants.
The gun opened up very suddenly
one market day, at an hour when the
streets were their busiest. Without
warning about noon, there was the
crash of a terrific explosion in the
central square, which by the way was
located more than eight miles behind
the front line. Other explosions fol-
lowed with deadly regularity at in
tervals of ten minutes. The death
dealer was a high-velocity 15-inch
gun of the naval type. 1t was using
shrapnel and casualties among troops
and civilians were numerous.
The task of locating the gun was

tain directions as to probabilities
Within few hours the task was duly
accomplished and photographs were
brought in which showed the position
plainly.
Unfortunately the job of putting
the big gun out of action was not sc
simple. Its position was too far back
to be reached by the ordinary coun,
ter battery guns and howitzers, and
| it happened that there were no long
range guns in the area capable OF

from another part of the lines would
mean considerable delay and speed
was vital.

universities and the press also was
mentioned as playing great part
in the alienation.
The education of men along moral
lines conducted by the medical ofic-
ers, through literature which was dis
tributed among the men, by exhibits
and through the agencies of the war

men in the right mental attitude to-

A MORAL ARMY

Paris-( Correspondence of the As

million men of the American Expe-

moral army in the world, according to
official statements of the United

Attributing the extremely low per-

to the medical programs of the Unit

that the two important factors in the
production of the most moral army
were vigorous work programs coupled
with the diversified recreations of the
camp and hygienic measures.

operation in the training camps of
the United States, where illicit houses
and the liquor traffic is suppressed
