MILITARY COP IN BATTLE IS
 OF SOME USE

With the Ameicans on British Front in France, Sept 30 Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-One of the interesting characters seen on the roads behind the dine is the military military policeman. He is stationed at every crossroads, regulating traf- fife with all the gestures of a profess sional traffic policeman in New York or Chicago, but in a khaki uniform and with red brassard on his arm as the badge of his authority.
 Everything from gigantic motor truck to sputtering motorcycle comes within his jurisdiction. The haughtiest staff car, with its proud staff flags and it's red-capped pas sengers, is subject to the law as laid down by that firm arm in khaki.
 It is a motley pageant that he mar shals. There are big closed cars con- taining generals: there are great op- en cars filled with young staff off cers of leser rang, but alert, energetic and keen. There are evenly-moving ambulances with the doctor sitting calm beside the driver. There are huge lorries, long columns of them.
 All day long the rush of traffic on these great main roads continues. To- wards night the roads are sometimes ouieter, but there still activity. All through the night. the lorries plod their way backward, and forward, the cars dash by, the dispatch riders come and go There is no rest. Layer after layer of white dust settles on the houses and the fences. Day after day the machinery behind the war goes whirring on growing constantly more complex and more powerful.

RURAL SOLDIER RECRUITS GET A

Boys at Camp Zachary Taylor Learn What 8 Bath Tub and Soap
 Is Used For.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 Louisville. Ky, Oct. 12.-The clear eyed, keenly alert, recruits that come to Camp Zachary Taylor, drawn in the main from rural districts of Ken lucky, Indiana, and southern Illinois, are receiving an object aesson in per sonal sanitation and disease preyen- tion that promises much for the fu- ture health of their respective com munities.
 The regime under which they come is something totally strange to them, the extreme care in correcting small faults of the human mechanism seems a trifle old maidish, and the scrupulousness with which health of men is guarded appears a bit foolish. This is the first impression.
 Then comes the time when Jim, after being at the camp for a few weeks, visits town and becomes cur iOus as how much weight he has lost by hard drill.
 To his amazement he finds that Though girth may have decreaseda weight has increased. and that this condition is general at his barracks. Then he learns that companion. who came into camp with the tired movement of the hook-worm victim. has prodded and poked while in the hosnital for a couple of weeks, that he had been cured of the hoOkworm and his infected tonsils removed. Furthermore that he had gained thir- ty pounds in the 1.-two months follow in1 the physical overhauling.
 Twice daily the men are lined up ard questioned regarding their state of health. Those with flushed cheeks. slightly sore throats or other symn. toms of illness are hurried to the regimental infirmary for rigid exam

FIND NEW MAMMOTH
CAVEiN CALIFORNIA

Viscilia, Cal-Hidden deep In the re-
cesses of a hitherto practically unex-
plored section of the Marble Fork OF
the KeWah river, almost within q
stones throw OF the Black Oak trail
and within eight miles OF the famous
General Sherman big tree, in Giant,
Forest, is said to lie one OF the most
subterranean caverns known
to the mountains of California. The
ave was discovered only-last week by
per reaches Of the stream and these
men, pioneers of the region, declare tho
newly discovered Sequoia national
park wonder. to be the largest OF the
several big caves in the park.
Enthusiastic accoun Of the caye.n
interior are brought in by the noun
taineers who ventured as far into ita
recesses as possible without LIGHT.
Strangely, they declare, the air within
appears fresh without the usual foul
and this fact, they believe, is due to
the stream of pure, snow water which
Flows through the cav and across -
bed OF solid marble Of varied hues and
which evidently enters from another
opening to the cave beyond.
The accounts recite at least a dozen
large rooms within the cavern, n OF
sufficient size for a modern ball room
setting. and all covered with q fine
white sand. Beautiful stalactites are
IN great number n OF every color In
one instance, they declare. forming an
arch like canopy not unlike q great
throne room. The fishermen did not
venture further into the cavern than
600 feet as they had no lights and
bones found there indicated that the
cave had been the lair OF the wild
animals which are in the Sequel park.
Government agents will inyestlgate
the new discovery at once, 1t is said,
and a new trail will be built from Giant
forest directly to it, probably cutting
the eight mile distance In half. Other
improvements said to be In contempIa-

The cycIops Mystery.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Few mysteries Of the sea have been SO
inexplicable as the loss OF the collier
Cyclops. All the West Indian waters have
been diligently secured for some trace OF
her, but none has been found. Now tho
passengers on a ship which has lust ar
rived from Rio tell a strange tale which
may have some bearing on her fate. One
OF the passengers on the yclops was the
American consul general at the Brazilian
capital. Two weeks before she was re-
ported as missing an advertisement in
Portuguese appeared In a Rio newspaper
stating that mass would be said in a GER
tainschurch for Mr.. Gottschalk, the dig
t1ngufshed North American consul. At
that time, of course. none OF his friends
knew he was dead. The pastor OF tho
church denied that any arrangements had
been made for a mass. Whence, then,
came this ominous hint? What was tho
purpose OF such an announcements Some
one must have had knowledge that tho
snip had been sunk, or foreknow1edgo
that She would be.
There are two obvious explanations for
the appearance of the advertisement. ono
is that it was a disguised assertion that
the Cyclops had been sunk~py a German
submarine. The other is cha 1t was q
message to some German agent or agents
engaged In the plot. The difficulty in
accepting either is that no trace of the
missing vessel has yet been found. Ships
have been "spurlos yersenkt', before, to
be sure; but it seems Incredible that q
ship of the character OF the Cyclops could
go down in waters 80 near our own
shores without even a wireless call or .
piece of wreckage to reveal her fate. Il
there is really a German submarine lurk-
ING in the Caribbean or somewhere Off
the Bahamas. it may be one of those with
the wide cruising radius which have been
built recently. The story from Rio is per-
picking, but It is too circumstantial to
be wholly i9ra0ar1adN%T r. tho royyvyT oo,y1A
have first help from some genius ofsdeteo-
tive fiction he mystery might be solved.
In any event, there are likely to be re-
newed efforts to solve It.

Drds for both height and endurance
were set. An army flyer whose name
is withheld by order of the executive
authorities at the post, climbed to 20.-
600 feet, only a little less than four
miles in the air. On the same day, a

suit, they said was gratifying and Of
great value in demonstrating the util-
ity ~of-certain innovations and improve
ments that have been under consid-
Grafton for some time. The climbing
quality n power and speed developed
exceeded expectations.
In the endurance trial some Of the
officers had been ofSthe opinion that
the motor to be tested would stall be-
fore the gasoline in the tank was COM
pletely exhausted, while the manufac-
turer's demonstration contended, of
course, that the motor would consume
every drop of available fuel. With a
passenger he arose at 1928 a. m. and
stayed aloft until he volplaned to a
landing at 6:1S p. m. without a hitch
to interrupt his fight. The engine
continued running without the slight
est indication of stalling until the last
drop of fuel in the tank was drained
into the cylinders.

River Jordan Not a River.
BY Richard Newton, b. d.

10y 1hlStldEQ N0WICu, DID. E[IfNE 49,
The Jordan has nothing to make II
specially attractive beyond the historical
associations Connected with it. But az
the stream that is woven In SC, freely
with the thread of the bible narrative. IL
will always retain the place 1t has held
SO long In the estimation of Christians
who visit the Holy Land. 1t is the only
river of any Importance in all that part
of the country which the Jews occupied.
And yet there is a great deal of truth In
the description which one has thus given
of it:
For all practical purposes to which4as
river is ordinarily applied, the Jordan In
useless; SO rapid, hat its course is to a
great extent a continued cataract. so
crooked, that in the whole of its lower
and main course it has hardly half a mile
straight; so broken with rapids and other
impediments. hat no boat can swim for
more than the same distance contfnu-
ously: so deep below the surface Of the
adjacent country, that it is invisible. and
can only be approached with difficulty:
resolutely refusing all communication
with the ocean, and ending in a lake the
peculiar conditions of which render nayi-
cation impossible" With all these char
acteristics, the Jordan, in any sense we
to the word river is no river at
al. Alike useless for irrigation and navi-
cation. 1t is, in fact, what its Arabic
name signifies, nothing but a great
watering place."
The plain of Jericho, owing to the want
of culture and the neglect OF irrigation.
has lost very greatly its former fertility.
We found the ride across hot and uninter-
esting, and We're not sorry when we
reached he banks of the sacred stream.
and got our first view of its randy
flowing waters, which are invisible tiil
that position is gained. The banks Of the
river are fringed with broad belts Of
tamrisk, %oleander. and willow trees
among which reeds and underwood spring

These offer secure dens for the wild boar
and the Leopard, and from these in former
