tens of thousands of their fellow

that their government is sending out
commissions full of piteous appeals to
other lands, America included, to spare

that these commissions could not have

LIFE is SAVED BY
HANDKERCHIEF

Of dead German. 1t took me a min
ute to realize what was happening and
l awoke to the sound of bullets whiZ-
zing past my head. That didn't disturb
me much, because l was wondering
why somebody hadn't buried the Ger
man. Looking around, however, all I
could see was dead Germans. IT sud-
denly dawned on me that l was in No
Mans Land. OF all the places there
are to land In France and Germany
had to land between the two.
Then l realized what predicament
l was in and began to think up some
way to get out of it. The thought came
to me that If l was nearer the German
lines than to the French, I had better
get rid of those incendiary balls in my
pocket, for If the Germans catch you
with them you are shot at once.
climbed back into my machine to the
tune of bullets and took out load Of
over 300 cartridges, threw them on the
ground and then removed my compass
and altimeter.
"The first thing 1 struck was grave,
unfinished, with two of the enemy In
it. l eased myself down into 1t, lifted
up one Of the Germans and put the
cartridges beneath him. l started
walking back to my machine. AS
got near 1t the Boche lines started
their mitrailleurs and rifles at me, and
the French, unaware that was one Of
them, also opened up. l had to walk
500 feet between the lines and 1t was
no joke with all that fire concentrated
in my direction. One bullet passed so
close to my face that l really felt the
wind. ! decided that I'd have to go to
one of the lines, enemy or friend, but
just then l heard machine overhead.
l looked up and saw white puffs break
ing out all around 1t.
ION the way the fire got so hot
had to fall face down, and l didn't
move for, guess, five minutes. There
being no good reason for my being
shot like a dog, yanked out my hand
kerchief and waved 1t at the French
lines.
"They finally got it, after ten min

ran so fast that l ran right into the
officer, and very nearly knocked his re-
volver out of his hand. i showed him
nv Identification card and then started
cursing him for shooting at me. He
had been taking potshOts at me out
there. He apologized, saying that he
could only see my head. because his
position was slightly lower than No
Mans Land.
"They took me up to the divisional
general, and reported that had seen
more than 300 dead Germans and only
two Frenchmen. 1t made him so happy
that he gave me dinner, and cOmpli
mented me for being good soldier"

slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for
this war against disease.
OF the men called to the colors by

indications of the prevalence of the
disease.
while the war has thus effectually

ways 1t has substantially increased the

comrades, Sergeant Baugham said:
I'VE had been sent out to patrol

firing. The enemy replied by turning
loose both guns at me. l must have

ROMANCE IN RUSKTN'S LIFE
Divergent Religious Views for Long
Time Separated Him From the
Woman He Loved.

In 1866 Ruskin declared his love for
Rosie La Touche and told her parents
of his hope to make her his wife, says
J. Howard Whitehouse In Scribner's.
There was a great difference OF years
between them. Ruskin was forty-sev-
en-: Rosie was in her eighteenth year.
There was some natural hesitation on
the part Of the parents, and 1t was ar
ranged that the matter shoul6.be post
poned for three years.
But when the period Of probation
was ended new difficulties arose.
There was hesitation not only on tho
part OF the parents. but also by Rosie.
Miss La Touche was. OF deeply re-
llgious nature, but her views were or
thodox and she did not share the wider
views on spiritual questions in which
Rusllln increasingly believed.
Her love for him had never wav-
cred since the days of her childhood
but she doubted If. holding the views
she did, she could marry him. Both
she and Ruskin suffered the deepest
distress.
For little time there was es-
arrangement, and there Is a moving en-
try in Ruskln's. diary In the year 1870:
Last Friday about twelve o'clock at
noon my mistress passed me and
would not speak" In tho following
year there 1as reconciliation.
The end of Ruskins dream came In
1875. Miss La Touches health never
strong, began to fail. and she died In
May Of that year.

Stockholm. Sweden.-"You want to

out They smuggle nearly everything,
so it is rather difficult to answer the
question offhand." So said custom
house officer at Haparanda, the little
Swedish town on the frontier of Fin
land, to Herbert Ericsson, a Swedish
writer who went up the Tornea valley
to investigate the smuggling stories.
"While l was waiting for the Over

Ericsson.

presently he told me that at the
outbreak of the war he had been
clerk ia one of Norrland's coast towns.
He had earned his money in rubles.
at Is not generally known that
many hundred Swedes have made big
fortunes out of rubles. 1t happened
like this: After the occupation of
Poland and other regions of Russia,
the Germans found that the population
refused to take marks in payment for
such supplies as were paid for. The
people demanded rubles, and rubles
the Germans did not have. The only
way of getting them was through
Sweden The Russian government
permitted no more than 500 to be TAX
en- out of the government by each
traveller, but with the incentive of
good reward smugglers were not lack
ing. The Haparanda agents bought
up these rubles and sent them down
to Germany by bales.
when the Germans had bought all
the rubles they wanted Karlsson tried
TO smuggle drugs to Finland. That
failed absolutely. He met with dis
