LUNCH DOGS" CARRY FOOD
How the French Troops In Isolated
Trenches Are Supplied with ~
Their Needed Ratlons.

Trench warfare certainly interferes
with the fighters meals After cap
turing the enemy's position In partic-
ular, Is the fighter at loss TO know
how he viii get his regular rations;
for no sooner does the enemy find
himself dlsposscssed from his original
trenches than he opens up with an In
tense barrage fire designed to prevent
ammunition and food from reaching
the new occupants.
The French army believes II haa
solved the problem Of carrying food
TO men in Isolated trenches, in It's
lunch dogs. Carrying light lunches
and coffee, and even cartridges for the
men In the first-line trenches when
the combat Is hot and protracted these
spIenddly trained dogs are more GER
tain to get through barrages than men.
Each dog Is equipped with Il sort OF
double bag, strapped tight over It's
body and provided with numerous
pockets for food. coffee cans, ammuni-
ton and other supplies.
II is at the military dog training
grounds at Paris that dogs are pre-
pared for this service. Not only are
these four-legged couriers taught to
avoid the enemy and beware of tricks
but also to crawl on their stomachs In
order to escape flying bullets. Special
masks are provided for these dogs
when they must pass through poison
gnS area.

II is one Of the regulations OF the
British army that every soldier, "heh

stick. In order to preserve soidieris
appearance and prevent anything IKE
slouching In his gait. This rule, says
Dundee Advertiser, applies TO all
ranks. and should anyone seek 10

Privates generally carry light canes

officers fairly stout sticks. and ofiicers
Invariably &C in for the more expen'
sive kind.
From the earliest times drill ser.
geants and drum majors have carried

How Forest Fires Are Started.

That man Is al least three times as
destructive as nature, at least so far
as forest fires are concerned, Is re-
vealed in a compilation which has
lust been issued by the federal forest
service. The figures OF this agency
show that Of 1874 forest fires on gov
eminent lands during 1917, all bur
2.l32 were caused by human agencies
Over $4,000 acres Of timber, forage
and young growth to the value OF
81 1913. 600 was destroyed. This loss,
while larger than that OF the past few
years, Is considered remarkably light IN
view OF the unusually dangerous CON
dtlons which, owing to protracted
drought and periods Of high winds.
were practically the same as In 1910,
when many persons were burned 10
death and s25,OOO,000 worth Of timber
on the national forests was destroyed.
II is estimated that In addition to the
actual loss In timber, etc. $1,12l.45l
was spent by the government for the
purpose Of fire fighting and prevention.

~MarseiIIaIse" Author q RoyaIIst.

The "Marseillalse" Is often consid-
cred a hymn by radicals and Reds, be-
cause It was first widely used by rev.
.olutionsts, but Rouget de Lisle was
when he wrote It and to the end OF his
long life, convinced roynlist, true 10
his oath Of loyalty to Louis XVI. Some
months after his great hymn was writ
ten he was arrested as counter-revo-
lutionary, and was saved from the
gulllotine only because Robespierre,
the master terrorist, was executed.
Rouget de Lisle was so hostile TO
the radicals that, rather than take
part In the wars Of revolutionary
France, he retired from the army, be-
coming prominent again only after the
July revolution. when King Louis
Philippe made him a chevaller OF the
Legion Of Honor and gave him a PEN
sion.

The following, taken from the Chill

1918, will be of interest TO Mrs.
Barneys old time friends in this To-
cality. Mrs. Barney was a sister OF

Manchester: Mrs. Martha Prindle
Barney, relict of DR.. Reuben Barney,
was found dead early this morning in
the bath room at the family home, All
Jackson street. A recurrence OF an
attack Of heart disease, an allment with
which Mrs Barney had been affected
for some time, was the cause OF death.
Arrangements for the funeral will be
announced as soon as the children Nv

Yesterday Mrs. Barney was in her
usual health and in good spirits. In
the evening she sat on the porch OF
her home and conversed cheerily with
members Of the family. She went to
her room about IL o'clock, and that
was the last time she was seen alive.
Her passage from her bedroom to the
bath room did not attract the atten-
ton Of any of the members Of the
family. Mrs. Barney was a cultured
and highly intellectual woman. She
had been prominent in Eastern Star
circles for more than a quarter OF a
century. She served one year as
Grand Matron Of the state auxiliary TO
the Masonic order and time and again
she occupied the post Of matron in the
local order Of the Eastern Star. She
was a devout COMMUNICATE OF the
Episcopal Church and took an active
part in Red Cross work and the vari-
GUS activities designed TO aid in the
successful prosecution Of the war
She had knitted some for the REQ
Cross every day for the last year

JUNGLE SAM" IDEAL FIGURE
Old Gentleman Happy Blending of the
Cardinal Virtues Typical of the
American.

My father used to tell me that his
great-uncle Major Samuel Wilson, was
quartermaster in WashingtOn'S army,
and that when the supplies came in
marked e. s. the boys in the army
used to say, More food for Uncle
SAM When the war was over the
army took this saying to every part
of the. land, and Uncle Sam soon dis
placed Brother Jonathan as the IA
vorite nickname for our country.
'In picture and phrase Uncle Sam
is still, for good or i'll, our national
figure. He incarnates the American
character. What con you see in him
ITO me he means a happy blending
of four cardinal virtues which are
typical of the Observation-Disclosures
and energy, Kindness and humor. If
Uncle Sam were only shrewd and ener-
getic, he might be very stingy old
specimen, not at all to be admired.
Sometimes our good friends across the
water have only seen this side of him.
If Uncle Sam were only kind and
humorous, he might be shiftless
good-for-nothing. But, fortunately for
us all, energy and shrewdness give him
power without waste, while kindness
and humor make him human and
friendly."-H. n. Maccracken in st.
Nicholas.
