The Halt, the Blind and the Manned

Of before the war, are not always IN

the good times of their more fortunate
brethren. Instances Of 1t are very no.

nave musical instruments which they
perform upon. Others sing, some are
blind, and others are minus limb.
They all have caps or other receptacleS
for coppers. When the works gates
are open, and the workers come fort,
with pockets full Of money, there t.
n variation in the music which can
be described as weird. But is Is Il
great time for the musicians. There
is continual "clink, cllnk," into the
caps OF the poor folk until the last
worker has passed their line.

Cleveland, O.-The men who be.
lieved that they could not be touched
by the law for Liberty Bond dealings
of almost any character whatever are
learning their mistake.
The recent arrest and conviction
and sentencing of men who have de.
pended upon alluring ads to lead Lib
erty Bond owners who needed the
money into their offices ought to have
a chilling effect upon other brokers
who have built their hopes upon the
same foundation.

ANENT THE WEST LIBERTY SCHOOL.

1t has been suggested that the Courers motive in in
sstng that statement OF the condition OF the West Lib

that only wanted the statement published that
We would get the work and the pay lisa lie made of

statement personal and put the proper adjective before the
sic if they desire We don't give rap where nor how
it is published just so it is done. The trustees can
write it out on piece of cardboard and nail it to tee
phone poe or they can have it published in Lexington
or Louisville paper and buy thousand extra copies for
distribution for all we care What we are interested in
is how in the Sam H the fiscal affairs of the district
are being conduced-or have been conducted-wthout
set of books. We would like very much to know upon
what account and by what authority the money which
should have been applied toward the liquidation of the dis

the things which we the most interested at present.
and the things we intend to find out or know the reason

The Courier has given the school page after page of

IN CAESARS Steps
Allies Fight Germans on Ground
He Made Famous.
Campaigns Today Have Many Strlk-
ing Points of Similarity to Those
Fought by the Great Roman
Conqueror.

Over the same ground where Caesar
fought nearly 1000 years ago, ana
with many implements of war remark
ably like those used by his army, the
allies are fighting the Germans today,
says writer in Pittsburgh Dis
patch. The foe is the same in cruelty
and in overbearing nature, as any
school boy or girl who has read the
commentaries of the great Roman gen
eral can tell you. How history repeats
itself and how important as well
as interesting is the study Of the
Latin language become since the war
is illustrated in telling fashion by
classical exhibit in the University of
Pittsburgh.
In the exhibit, which was arranged
under the direction of p. L. Ullman of
the State Classical association, is a
model of a bridge built over the Rhine
by Caesar. 1t was made from the de-
scription given by Caesar.
The bridge is almost exactly like the
temporary bridge the soldiers at
Plattsburg are now being taught to
make and on which they expect TO
cross the Rhine as they go into the do
main Of the kaiser.
The Roman balIlsta, used to throw
stones at the enemy, is made exactly
on the same principle as the machine
used today to throw trench bombs.
Modern springs now take the place OF
the twisted rawhlde with which mo-
mentum was obtained by the Roman
machine. A model of the Roman bal
lista is in the exhibit.
On the same principle is the cata-
putt, used by the Romans to shoot ar
rows. Several Of the weapons used by
the Roman soldiers. including sword
and spear, fOrerunners of the bayOnet
are much like those used In the pres
ent war. Models of all these are In
this exhibit. There are also models
of the Roman soldier and Of the sol
der Of today, both wearing headpiece'
of metal much alike.
The boy who Is reading Caesar car
tell you that Reims, whose wonderful
cathedral has been destroyed by thu
Germans, was named from the Ram
tribe mentioned by Caesar and tina
Scissors takes its name from the Sues
stones tribe, conquered by Caesar. TIL
Commentaries are full of names made
familiar by the war going on toda!
and the schOOlboy reads with addet
interest how Caesar defeated Arrows
tus, king of the Germans, and wol
other tritmphs on the same battl
front as that Of the allies today. TIL
wolf holes he describes are much Xix
the traps used to ensnare and bewilde
the enemy now.
Other articles in the exhibit made b,
: a;inderfreSh6w what a wSsirfn IA II
man tradition has been handed dow
TO us. The Roman fasces, shown @
the new United States dime, Is II
original of the mace, the symbol
power, used by the speaker of II
house of representatives. The fasce
in turn. had its origin In the sticl
$ used by the Romans to fog Offender
7 and the ak used by them to cut o
the heads Of the worst Of them.
