The w ar Trade

Before the boons of peace re-
turn, those boons so long mislaid,
our Teuton foes will have to learn
that wars a beastly trade. In
times of peace they armed and
drilled, with war their end and
aim; million gents have since
been killed, and they are all to
blame. ooh, it is we'll to plow
and sow," their rulers used to say,
"and it is good to ply the hoe, and
put up stacks of hay; it's wise to
make our 1iverwurst and dyes that
will not fade, but war is always
best and first, the Teutons hon
ored trade. We like to see the
farmers raise their rows of sugar
beets, and labor through the sum-
mer days providing wholesome
eats; we praise the man who earns
his board with plowshare, scythe
or spade, but most Of all we praise
the sword, and war, the Teuton's
trade" And when this weary
war is done, the Teuton must ad-
nit that other tools than sword
and gun are billed to make hit.
If he goes back to arm and drill,
with energy insane, if he goes
back to learn to kill, the scrap is
all in vain. Before the scene of
war we leave, and sheathe the
cleaning blade, we have to make
the Teut believe that wars a
beastly trade.

Remainder Of Fifty Ordered by w.
B. and E. Company to Follow in
the Next Few Weeks.

Three of the fifty new cars which
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company ordered early in April
are on their way to Washington. and
the remainder will follow in the next
few weeks, it was stated today.
An official of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company explained
that the General Electric Company OF
Schenectady, N. Y, has been unable
to turn out the motors for the new
cars because government war orders
placed with that company had pri-
>ority.'
In letter to the local car officials
on October Is, the motor concern ex-
planned that it was working on a rush
order for the marine docks in France
but that it expected to begin turning
out the motors for Washington's cars
soon. An official of the car company
said that the government is cooper
ating in every way possible to hurry
the output of the motors.

tinued until 12:45 o'clock am. It was

the center of the disturbance was to the
southwark of Washington and prob
ably in the West Indies or Central
America.
Within the last few weeks there
have been earthquakes in both these

On the Run

The Bulgars, slow and stately,
consider haste a crime and so it
jars them greatly, the way
they're making time. There's
horror on their faces, there's
anguish in their souls; they hit
the higher places, in search of
hiding holes. To men who look
on hurry as being tinhorn goods
lit brings a lot of worry to hustle
to the woods. l seem to hear
them yapping in dire distress of
mind, l hear their coat tails flap
ping and see the smoke behind.
The Turks are lazy critters, they
loathe all exercise; they are such
'shirks and cutters they will not
swat the flies. They like to sit
round joshing, in some nice
shady spot, the while their wives
take washing, that garlic may be
bought. But, like the Bulgars,
lately they're bullying for the
brush, and oh, 1t Jolts them
greatly, this mad, unseemly
rush! No more the foe they're
facing-they're tired of that, l
guess; they're Looping and they're
pacing like Dexter or Maud S.
The words they use are tinting
the air around them blue, as they
go sprinting, sprinting, the
mountain passes through. Why
doesn't Wilhelm chide them for
such indecent haste; denounce
them and deride them, for show
ing such poor taste? He has no
heart for preaching to Turks or
horse marines his Huns are also
teaching the world what sprint
ing means. WALT MASON.
