thrust into the tree against the hero's

upon the stage, the sword is illumined
from within and CLEANS and elitters

but their effect is less disturbing than
supposedly natural objects in a food

How about the big trees in "St. Eliza

light OF dawn, but the massive trunks
cast no shadows, nor does the leafy
dome, which we must imagine upheld
by the massive columns, prevent the
solitary sapling before which Elizabeth
prays receiving a flood of light and a
shower of confetti. We never knew

SPILLED THE BATTLE:
A Touch of Nature That Halted Ware
 Carnage For a Moment.

A day was dawning on battlefield in northern France through a fog so thick that none could see more than few yards from the trenches. In the night the Germans had drawn DacK their lines a little. and the French had closely advanced, but between the two positions a lone farmhouse WAS still standing. AS the sun rose and the fog cleared and the gunners found their ranges, heavy guns began to boom and answer back. Thus began the old, old wearisome story of day after day or desolation and death.
 But suddenly on both sides the firing ceased, and there fell q peculiar dead stiffness. Midway between the trenches, near the now shattered farmhouse, there was-no, 1t must be impossible, 1t must be a delusion. But, no-there in the green meadow. crawling on It's hands and knees, was little child, q mere baby. It appeared perfectly hap py aud cGatented. and in the sudden

duinbness Of the Soldiers the DaDys laugh was heard as 1t clutched at q dandelion. Not a sound was heard but that; not a shot was fired; scarcely did a soldier on either side dare breathe.
 Suddenly c soldier jumped out Of German trench and ran to where the child was crawling. He tenderly took 1t up and carried 1t back to shelter. From the trenches of the French there came no shots, but there rang along both lines a mighty cheer.
 But soon, alas, the guns were boom ing again and answering back, and the towering bit of meadow was plowed by shells, for war Is war, and men must not long yield to plty.-Christian Herald

THOMPSON STICKS TO
 SPY EXECUTION STORY

New York, Jan. 26.--c. g. Thompson, a member of the exe- cutive committee of the American Defense society, was questioned again in the afternoon by federal officials regarding his statement that fourteen spies had been es- eeuted In the United States since the war begin. He said he refus- ed 10 reveal to Assistant United States Attorney Knox "the source of his information" other than it came from a man in Washington in whose word he had absolute confidence. lie still refused, he stated, even when told he might have to answer the questions be- fore a federal grand jury.
 Thompson denied that he had admitted to Mr. Knox that his as- sertion that ammunition for Ger many had been shipped from New York, had been based on "uncon- firmed rumor." He said the infor- nation came from government sources in Washington.

Widespread Plot to Cripple War Activi- ties is Seen in Many Fires
 Yesterday.
Rigid Application of the Rules of War to Ger man Agents and Spies Would Have Greater Tendency to Stop Ithe Work of the Kaiser's Agents Than Investigations

New York, Jan. 2G--lndications of a widespread plot to cripple the war activities of the United States were seen today in a series of fires in ship yards, on intuition ships, in war plants, and storage buildings at varl- ous points along the Atlantic seaboard and further inland. Nearly all of them were of distinctly suspicious origin.
 Fears that the hames may have been set by enemy aliens were given strength by the fact that they started within a few hours at widely sep- arated points, most week today
 after Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the United States shipping board gave notice that the government had been given authoritative warning of a Ger man plot to apply the torch to plants of all kinds, especially shipyards which are producing implements of war. &lft
 MT. Hurley ordered the trebling of soldier and police guards at all war plants and in some cases this pre- caution resulted in preventing even more serious losses. 1t was an- nounced from Washington today that this warning was issued because of a

lNHUMAN TREATMENT OF
 SICK BY OFFICIALS
SECRETARY BAKER DEMANDS MORE SEVERE PENALTY THAN
 DISMISSAL FROM SERVICE.

Washington, Jan. 26.-A heavier punishment that mere dismissal from the service was recommended by the war department tonight for two army medical officers, recently convicted of mistreating sick soldiers. by court martial After reviewing the records of the trials Secretary Baker return ed them to the trial courts with the suggestion that sentances of dismis- sal be reconsidered and that more se- we're penalties be imposed.
 One case was that of First Leuten- ant John Dwyer, medical corps, on hospital duty at Camp Funston. Evi- dence brought out at his trial showed that a soldier in advanced stages of pneumonia who reported for treat ment was reprimanded for failure to salute and sent back to duty. In fact. it was shown, that the doctor urged that a sick man, who died few days later. be given double duty.
 The other case was that of First Lieutenant C. w. Cole, Camp Beaure- gard, in charge of the base hospital. An ambulance loaded with sick men came to the hospital from the regi- mental infirmary, it was shown at the trial. and the officer kept the men wa ting for nearly an hour outside in the cold and rain before he went out to look at them. The ambulance driver told the doctor that one man in his car was delirious and might hurt himself Or others. The officer in structed him to tie the patient up and take him back.

he had several times found an att torney for the packers alone in his office when he returned there.
 It appeared from the evidence to- day that the packers received advance information of a postponement of action on the Borland resolution by the house judiciary sub committee.
 Close watch was kept on the views of congressman on the Borland reso- lution by agents of the packers in Washington, their reports usually be- ing cautiously devised so that iden- titles were indicated only by initial or state. Especial attention was given to Representative Gard of Ohio, and Representative Morgan. of Oklahoma, from whom opposition was feared Opposition. to the Borland resolution including flood of telegrams inspired by the packers was financed, accord ing to the evidence, by fund of $l5,000 raised on a percentage basis ahong the Armour. Swift, Morris Cudahy and Sulzburger, or Wilson firms
 This percentage received the close attention of the commission who were told by Mir. Heney that it was a con tinuation and extension of the pool known as the National Packing com pany," ordered dissolved by the fed eral courts in 1912.
 We will show that this under standing between the packers has continued and is now in effect" he said, and that they app0rtion the livestock purchases throughout the United States on the basis of their property holdings and that all their joint expenses meet the same basis. "
 The buying agreement tending to eliminate competition and to permit the packers to control the nation $ food supply long have been charged by the livestock growers in their de mands for governmental inquiry into the business.
 F. C. Lasater, of Falfurrias, Texas, q eading figure in the American Ma tional Livestock association, took the stand to tell of conferences requested by the packers to promote better feel chasing ends of the business.

Smith, regional director for the east, indicated only slug gish freight movement over the main line. Passenger trains were many hours late and some were withdrawn.
 About Chicago, these reports said, from seven to ten inches of snow had fallen and was being driven over tracks and trains by high west wind. More snow was forecast for most of the country eastward for tomorrow.
 In face of diseouraging weather re- ports coal was kept moving and neither the fuel nor railroad admin istrations had any reports indicating any more serious coal shortage tha1 has prevailed for the past week.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Confidential reports on the attitude of the con gressmen toward legislation for an inquiry into the livestock and packing industry taken from the secret files of big packing concerns were rea> today into the records of the fed eral trade commissions meat packing investigation.
 III addition to the continued recital Of the efforts made by the packers to forestall affirmative action by congress in 1916 on the Borland reso- luton for an inquiry. the commission was given further indication of the qualifications of the packers financial control which was said by Francis J. Heney, special counsel. to extend 10 the street railway lines of Kansas City, to banks throughout the country and to the tin industry Mr. Heney said further evidence along this line would be offered next week.
 Alleged political retribution visited 'congressmen inimical to the pack ers' interests will be one of the ma jor subjects taken up next week, ac- cording to Mir. Heney, who announced that he would offer evidence designed to show that one representative was defeated with the aid of the packers after he made a fight for the investi- gation of their business.
 "lnsidious" methods of endeavoring to influence congressman through business for their law firms and by appealing to their political welfare will be developed. MT Heney told the commission.
 After it had been disclosed today that in 1916 K. C. McManus of coun- sel for Swift X company made a re- port to the company giving a resume of complaint filed with the com mission and which was confidential under the commissions rules, notices were posted in the commission build ing that hereafter passes from heads Of departments would be required for all persons, even employees, who enter the building outside of working hours. When the McManns report was read Mr, Heney protested that the aractice of leaving the office doors unlocked offered chance for unfortunate happenings and said
