Opinion of Military


Britain at bay before Amiens will
stand off thh boehe and turn him
back, in the opinion of military men
today.
That strong defense re before the
city Is assumed. The military men say
that protection of this strategically i'm
portant center will be defense of
men fighting for their very existence.
The fall of Amiens, the experts add,
would be more tragieal than the cap
turee of Paris at least from military
standpoint. Because of its important
rail lines Amiens is vital to the allies
Its loss would mean hacking the French
and British in twain and running the
present supply lines.
In view of this situation, the allies
may be counted on to battle more
strenuously than ever, the authorities
say. Lacking full information of the
allied strategy or disposition of the
allied reserves, the experts were un-
able to predict the course ef events,
but they did vOuehsafe the confident
guess that the German will be halted.
France and Britain have been gath
ering their reserve strength hastily.
Whether this reserve viii be used only
to stem the Teuton tide is not now evil
dent, but it is sufficient strength to
accomplish at least that, and it may
be large enough to hurl back the Ger
man.
The latter is moot question here.
Some authorities say that the allies
have waited too long to make an eff
fective counter offensive, others rely
ing on the ability and strategy of Gen
eral Foch declare that he has some
tricks In the sack which will surprise
the world.
In any case fresh American strength
is badly needed and is being added to
THE struggle as fast as it is humanity
possible to do it, authorities declare.

"John. the Oysterman" everyone

TO make his customers eat oysters out
of season. To each customer who
comes into his place he hands them an
envelope. pay size, with an enclosure.
Printed on the envelope is the fol-
lowing: "Simplified Coat Hanger. The
most universally used coat hanger in
the world Made of the finest drawn
steel wire by automatic machinery.
Easy to attach wherever and when
ever needed. Warranted for five years
with ordinary usage" And when one
opens the envelope they naturally ex-
pect TO find something new to hang
coat thereon. They are not disappoint-
ed, but 1t is surprise. Wrapped in
small piece of paper is ''the simpli-

WHY DO MEN WEAR HATS?
Really, When You Come to Think Of
1t, They Are of Little Use and
Not Ornamental.

Men themselves do not know why
they wear hats. Hats aren't ornamen
tai. They do not keep off the rain. A
mans hat is Il legacy of tradition, bru-
talized in its descent from the age of
adornment. Straw hats are the least
awful.
The derby, the iron lid of common
phraseology, is tragedy, and the silk
hat is useful only to lend dignity to
men who otherwise might be undigni-
fed. This dignity is traditional rather
than real. Bridegrooms, undertakers
and members of congress need all the
dignity they can command. So they
keep the silk hat handy.
Spring, which brings the straw hat,
is welcomed by men, since it removes
the hideous necessity of wearing other
sorts of hats. The straw hat rOuses q
dim memory in the blood of the days
of garlands. 1t may be worn with q
bright band. On the whole, it makes
life little easier for those who
haven't the courage to go without hats
at all.

Wealthy Wisconsin Maids
Did Bit in Pea CannerieS
To Save the Great Crops

Wives and daughters of wealthy cit
izens in the Wisconsin pea-canning
districts entered the canneries to aid
the labor situation. On Saturdays
they lined up for their pay envelopes
and received a minimum wage for
their ten hours work.
Forty per cent Of the peas canned
in the United States are put up in
Wisconsin plants.
Earlier in the season pea packers
expressed grave fears of serious
labor shortage and pointed to the food
administrations request for all the
peas possible.
George p. Hambrecht, labor commits
sioner after q conference with Food
Administrator Hoover. sent labor COM
mission employees into all homes and
obtained pledges from women in all
walks Of life to work in the canneries.
Then q conference was arranged
with the packers, who were Informed
that they would be provided with help
If they paid the women a minimum
wage, established ten-hour working
day except in an emergency, and
then not more than twelve hours, and
made proper sanitary arrangements.
The packers signed an agreement.
the women who had pledged their
services were called on, the response
was most satisfactory, and the can
neries operated with a full force.

II Millions Burned
in Year
Total Covers Fire Loss in 2l0
Cite. Of Over 10000
Population

During the fiscal year 1917 the 210
American cities estimated to have
more than 10000 inhabitants main
tanned $3.50 fire companies, with 40,141
employees, and 162 volunteer compa-
nies having 14,472 active members; the
total number of stations was 3,OS2;
and the equipment included 994 motor
propelled and 1878 horse-drawn en-
gines. A number of the smaller cities
now rely entirely upon motor prOpul-
sion of fire department apparatus. Sep
arate high-pressure service by direct
pumping into fire mains is maintained
by nine cities. The property losses by
fire during the year aggregated ST.
S42, 10. The total value of fire de-
partment property was reported as
Sill, 2,201.
The foregoing are some of the
more important statistical facts set
forth in report on fire departments
in cities of more than 10000 pOpula-
ton, issued by Director Sam L. Rogers
of the bureau of the census depart
ment of commerce.
OF the 40,141 paid fire department
employees, 35,S27 were regulars"
the remainder comprising "call men,"
substitutes, "supernumeraries," civil
ian employees, etc.
Volunteer fire service, subject to call,
was reported by 80 cities, including
New York and Chicago. The total
membership of these volunteer fire.
service organizations comprised A.
472 on the active and 2,S57 on the hon
orary rolls. By far the largest num-
ber of active members-5,S40, or
about two-fifths of the total shown for
the 80 cities-was reported for Read
ing, Pa.
The property loss amounted to $71.-
$40, ITO, or about S2.20 per capita. This
loss was distributed as follows: On
buildings, $27,076,4S4; on contents,
S37 ,4S0 233; on marine property, S1O1,-
80; and on unclassified property,
S7,1S4141. These figures do not in
clude the loss, amounting to $7,0OO,OOO,
caused by the Black Tom explosion at
Jersey City. Though Chicago report
ed more fire alarms than New York,
the latter city's property losses from
fire, SS,746, ,404, were more than two
and One-half times as great as those of
the former, $3,47O,97s. Chicago's fire
losses were exceeded by those of De-
troit, which amounted to $3,54O,2S4.

GOT THE PROMISED CHILD
How chiIcat Natives Kept Their Word
With the Missionaries, of Five
Years Standing.

In my intimate companionship with
Muir I'm Alaska / saw many instances
of his warm human sympathy, 5. Hall
Young writes In World Outlook. One
occurred when in 1879 we were visit
ing the tribe of Chilcats. These Chill
cats, recognized as the most warlike
and arrogant of the Thlinget tribes,
were nevertheless SO interested in the
gospel message 1 had to bring them
that they crowded the house where we
lodged, filling it full and prying off
planks from its side so that those with
out could hear.
The first night we spent in the viii
lage, after an all-day's palaver, we
were about to retire to our blankets
when woman brought baby to us
which was almost skeleton from lack
of nourlshment, and whose feeble cry
was most pitiful o hear. The woman
explained that the baby's mother had
died, and that they had no food for the
child-nOne of the other women being
in condition to nurse 1t. AT once Muir
and / set about preparing condensed
milk for the baby. We diluted ii with
warm water until we thought it of the
proper consistency, and fed 1t to the
starving baby. The child was almost
too weak TO take this nourishment, and
1t required the utmost patience and
care to feed ii. Muir worked with
that little papoose almost all night,
rocking Ii in his arms and soothing
its cries, and when at last it rested in
n healthful, refreshing sleep, he care
fully showed the woman how to pre-
pare its food, and insisted upon leav-
ing all of our remaining canned milk
for the baby. The natives voluntarily
told me when we were about to leave
that If the baby lived 1t belonged to
me and they would bring it down to
Fort Wrangel. 1 thought but little of
this promise, knowing how easily
people forget such things; but five
years after this occurrence | was sur
prised to have some Chilcat natives
bring a sturdy and healthy little boy,
and formally give him to me, saying
that this was the baby whose life we
had saved, and he therefore belonged
to us. The child was taken into our
mission at Wrangel, and / baptized
him with the name of "John." after

out at the headquarters of. the service
that many of their requests for help
came from ranches near those TO which
