JAPANESE Tioer Hunters.

Tadasaburo Yamamoto, one of Ja-
pans most wealthy men, who has i'm
mense shipping interests, returned re-
Gently from a tiger hunt in the Ko-
rean mountains. Mr.. Yamamoto had
with him 200 friends and professional
spOrtsmen who are experts with the
rifle. They left Tokyo on November
Is and established headquarters at
Gensang, a small port on the northern
coast of the Sea of Japan. The ex-
perienced sportsmen were distributed
among the amateurs in the party, so
that everybody was given an oppor-
tunity to bag what game was encoun-
tered.
Mr.. Yamamoto and his party re-
turned recently from the hunt after
several successful weeks in the
Korean mountains and has been feast
ing his friends on tiger steaks and
other dishes from the game brought

The time has come-it is here this
minute-to consider the tailored suit
for spring. 1t is an agreeable duty
because the season has in store s. me
happy surprises for us in novel trim
ming ideas and in ingenious comb ina
tons of cloth and silk. Designers have
been asked to conserve wool and have
responded in way to reflect honor on
themselves by furnishing models that
use little cloth but are SO cleverly de-
sighed, with such attention to good
lines and so much originality in fi1lSh
that we may give thanks for the ne ces-
sity which mOthered such fine in ven
tons. Make up your mind to have q
sprightly suit for spring; because this
years suit has characteristics all it's
own.
Among them are to be menti0 med
the introduction of vests which are
made of silk, brocade, crepe, pique and
of plain fabrics handsomely embEoid-
cred. Somewhere at the front the
sides of the coat may barely meet, or
just fail to, they are held togeth-
er by one or two link buttons. In
other models fronts are cut away like
a mans dress coat leaving an expanse
of handsome waist coat to entice the
eye. White cloth collars and cuffs,
with collars heightened into revers are
another feature that add to the at
Effectiveness of spring suits and they
belong to an attractive class which
includes suits with collars, revers and
cuffs of figured or plain silk.

AMUSING PIECE OF "NERvE"
How Cool Impudence of Young British
Naval Officers Relieved Ten
sion of Situation.

In Facing the Hindenburg Line"
by Burris A. Jenkins, may be found
number of incidents In which naval
men prove their coolness and heroism.
Nobody knows all the stories of cool
ness and heroiSm among the naval
men, says the author. We shall not
learn them till the war is over, but
here is one that perhaps the censors
will allow to go by. 1t was told by a
medical officer who was aboard the
Franconia when she was sunk acting
as transport.
1--WE had five or six naval officers
aboard. They were sitting in the
smoking room-remember the smoking
lounge in the old Franconia? 1t was
very long, as long as this dining room
and twice as broad. They had just
ordered whisky sodas. Suddenly there
was an explosion and the steel floor
of the smoking room just buckled up
and burst apart in the middle of the
ship. One of those officers called the
steward and said:
I ask you to witness, steward that
we nave PAID Tor these whisky SOFAS
and have not had time to drink them
''Then the rascals went below, got
on their lifebelts, came back again,
asked the steward for big sheet Of
fOOlscap, wrote out a long, we, the
Undersigned setting forth that they
had ordered six whisky sodas, for
which they had paid nine shillings,
with sixpence tip, and had not been
allowed to drink them. Thereupon they
entered a claim against the British
government for the nine shillings and
sixpence, with accrued interest from
date. Then they walked in a body up
to the bridge and handed 1t to the skip
per. The old man told me afterward
he never was so grateful to anybody
as to these cool young devils for the
steadying and bucking up influence OF
their impudence."

e. G. Grace, president of the Bethle-

guests of the Allentown (Pa.) chamber
of commerce at its banquet recently
that the submarine destroyers which
the Bethlehem corporation will build
for the government are more than all
Mr.. Grace said he regarded the rapid
construction of destrOyers as the solu-

as compared with 5000 five years ago.
Charles M. Schwab, who also spoke,

come out of the woods on the rear
of the gun position. Near big camp
fire dozen or more American officers
are grouped around two machine guns
listening to the instructions of an Eng
lish major. The English officer is a
short, spare, peppery veteran with a
raspy voice that he can use for the
same purpose that mule skinner uses
a blacksnake.
"Burr-wuff!" he shouts. That's as
near as 1 can get to it phoneticaliy.
Two captains leap to their places by
the machine gun. The one who sights
and operates the piece throws himself
fiat on his back with head Graded on
the knees of the man feeding. There
is some slight delay and the English
major breaks into song.
"Come, come! Garry on! What are
we waiting for? You should have
killed a hundred by now. What is it?
What is it? My word! Not so slow.
We're not having dinner, you know !;
we're killing Boches. What the blink
ety-blank's wrong now? Come, come
Garry on! Garry on!''
The gun speaks jarringly. One side
of the barrel splits a stream of yellow
cartridge cases over the breast of the
operator holding the trigger. Three
hundred yards distant the blade of bull
let's slices the ground before the tar
get and throws up a little line of dust.
The major orders a fifty yard adj
vance. The American officers dis
mount the piece, go forward at the
double-quick and set it up once more.
The operator pulls the trigger. Moth
ing happens. He fuses and tugs. Still
no result. The English major Gains
himself and heaves a deep sigh. He
looks at the gun crew like man with
no insurance viewing total loss. "Oh,
my eye!" he groans sadly. 'How dead
you'd have been by now! All right,
leave off, leave off! Never mind"
He points to the man who carried
the ammunition and who is standing
behind the gun curiOusly watching the
efforts of the crew to make it shoot.
"Next time don't stand up behind the
gun. You stick up there like dummy
in a shop window. A body would
think you were an advertisement for
something. You're not trying to sell
the gun to the Boches, you know.
Standing there giving away the gun
position! Next time find cover twenty
PAGES to the right or left and try to
act like bit of mud. Yes!"

Mohammedanism is the aggressive
religion of India, says the World Out

9 per cent in a decade, while the gener-

becoming Mohammedans every year
than are turning to Christianity, but
proportionately Christianity is leading
in growth, having increased % per cent
