.HAIG'S ADDRESS
TO HIS SOLDIERS

LONDON, April 12.-Field Marshall
Sir Douglas Haig, in a special order
of tie day, addressed to "All ranks
of the British army lin France and
Flanders says:
Three weeks ago today, the enemy
began his terrific attacks us on a
ffty-mile front HiF objects are to
Separate us from the French, to take
the channel ports snd destroy the
British army.
''In spite of throwing. already, one
hundred and six divisions into the
battle and enduring the most reckless
sacrifice of human lie, he has yet
made little progress toward his goal.
1--WE owe this to the. determined
fighting and self-sacrifice of our troops.
Words fail me to express tn admira
ton which | feel for the splendid re
sistence offered by all ranks of our
army under the most trying circum-
stances.
MANY among US now are tired. To
those | would say that the victory
will belong to the side that holds out
the longest. The French army is NOV
ing rapidly and in great force TO our
support There is no other course
open to us, but to fight it out. ~
Every position must be held to the
last man There must be no retire
ment. With our backs to the wall
and believing in the justice of our
,ause each one of us must fight to
the end. The safety of our homes
and the freedom of mankind depend
alike upon the conduct of each one
of us at the critical moment"

necessitated complete control by the

Roses Stolen From Chicago Thas
ater Found Right Spot
After All.
SOLVE DEEP MYSTERY
Three Detectives Work Several Days
en Case, When They Find the
CuIprit-the Hat Is Passed
for Real Flowers.

Chicago.-Folks who went to the
La Sale theater the other night saw
O comedy. Upstairs in the Office OF
Nat Register, the manager, a tragedy
was being enacted.
Several days ago Register received
complaints from Joe DAILY, property
man, that artificial roses used in one
Of the sets were being stolen. The
flowers were not taken in large num-
bers. But every other day or so three
or four would be missing.
Three detectives worked on the case
for a few days. The roses continued
to disappear.
Then the detectives arrested Sophie
Korab, a theater scrubwoman. When
the detectives and Register questioned
her she sobbed violently, but would
not talk.
Where the Roses Went.
Finally she found a champion In
Miss May Bowling of the theater staff,
who pleaded for her release. Then
Mrs. Korab broke down and told her
story.
Six months ago her husband, Anton,
joined the army, leaving her to take
care of the two children, John, 2 years
old, and Mary, 8.
A few weeks ago little John con
tracted an ailment. There was nc

money for adequate medical attention
and he died. The day of the burial
Mrs. Korab appeared as usual to do
her scrub work at the theater.
She saw the roses and purloined a
couple of them. Next day she went
to the cemetery and put the artificial
flowers on Johns grave.
Real Flowers for the Living.
The detectives made an exit. Miss
Bowling slipped out and returned with
a handful of real flowers.
For Johnny" she said, and wiped
her eyes.
The scrubwoman f~earfully asked if
she could go. Register requested her
to stay. He left the room for a few
minutes and he saw DAILY, the prop
erty man; Charlie Heede, in the box
office; Bob Corning, the superintend-
ent the stage hands, the ushers, the
doorman, the cigar store man next
door, and the cafe fan next door, and
when he returned he handed $GO.35 to
Mrs. Korab.
For Mary" he said.

butt sha'n't endure it.. She laughg
at me. Well, your friends shall laugh
at you"
"Silence" commanded Esteban.
"Sell her, Or"
Without waiting to hear her threat
Esteban tossed his arms above his
head and fled from the room. Flinging
himself into the saddle, he spurred
down the hill and through the town to
the Casino de Espanol, where he spent
the night at cards with the Spanish Of
Fl ,ials. But he did not sell Evangelina.
In the days that followed many SINH
lar scenes occurred, and as Esteban's
home life grew more unhappy his dissi-
pationS increased. He drank and gam
blcd heavily; he brought his friends to
the Quinta with him, and strove to for
get domestic unpleasantness in bolster
u rcVelry.
His wife, however, found %opportuni-
ties enough to weary and eXasperate
him With %reproaches regarding the
slave girl.

at New York City was $2.2S per BUSH
ell. Here is how he went about it:
The freight rate from Sikeston to
New York being 1G.9S cents per bush
ell, he deducted that from $2.2S per
bushel and found the price at Sikeston
to be $2.11O2. From this he deducted
l per cent per bushel for the commits
sion firms charges, which put the net
price f. O. b. Sikeston at $2.1OO2.
He next compared this price with
what he could get if he sold at st.
Louis, his nearest primary market. At
st. Louis the basic price is $2.1S per,
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to st. Louis 6 cents per bushz
ell. This would make the Sikeston
price $2.12, less l cen per bushel for
selling charges, or S2.11 net. The st.
Louis price would therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller. -.
If our Imaginary 2 bushels of wheat
had started from Sikeston, since it was
a No. 2 grade, we must deduct 3 cents
per bushel, which would bring the
price f. o. b. the elevator point to
$2.OSO2 per bushel. AS our imaginary
elevator man is charging 5 cents per
bushel for handling, which includes
the commission fee just mentioned, we
deduct an additional 4 cents to arrive
at the price the farmer received. This
price would be $2.04O2 at the elevator.
Some of that 4 cents will return to our
farmer If the elevator prospers for 1t
is owned comparatively.

agree.

He might have refused to sell at all

might have taken it over to a COM
