THE LAUGHING CHILDREN

The blessed babes keep laughing
through the crises growu-up
feel;
The children 60 on hplaying thong
Earth's holocaust impend;
They know no apprehension touching
future woe or veal,
But take, each day, sans question,
what their childhood gods may
And oh, how glad and grateful should
we be that it is SO!
How much we mead their laughter
and the frivoling Of them!
With such to help we're leaving off
the cerements Of woe;
With them to cheer, the turgid flood
Of warfare we shall stem.
Give thanks then for the children and
the surcease children bring,
We romp with them, then .fearlessly
we buckle to our task.
And when we win-as win we must
If while we fight we sing
Gods blessing on the children who
have saved us, we may ask.

To Re-Educate
Disabled Men

The bill now before Congress pro-
viding for the re-education of soldiers
disabled in battle should be passed in
some form without delay. Wounded
men in considerable numbers will
soon be returning from the front, and
justice as we'll as expediency de-
mands that those who are incapaci-
tated from taking up the work they
laid down when they entered the
army shall be taught at government
expense some other vocation by means
OF which they can maintain their eco
nomic independence despite the han
dicap of their wounds.
The experience of other nations now
! al war teaches us that the re educa-
ton of disabled men is a tremendous
aid to national efficiency and morale.
Their experience also shows that this
re-education should begin as early as
possible. The first steps should be
taken in the hospital and then fol-
lowed up in the convalescent home.
Thus the wounded man is given an
Opportunity to occupy his mind at a
time when he is most likely to brood
over his misfortune-a good thing in
| itself-and at the same time he is
shown how to become useful to him
!self and to society in general.
1t must be clear to all now that the
attitude hitherto taken by this coun-
| try toward it's soldiers disabled in
battle has been mistaken one. Pen
sions, no matter how liberal, can new
err mean so much to the ambitious
self respecting man as the ability to
earn his own living and do useful
work. Let us compensate in money
insofar as that is possible, our wound.
ea men for the sufferings they have
undergone while fighting for their
country. But let us go farther. With.
out counting the cost let us prepal
them to lead happy and useful lives
after they have returned from fight
ing our battles "over there"

Ell Paso, Texas, May 9.-Gun rum
ners, ammunition smugglers, "boot-
leggers" and other border law break
ers who thrive upon the the illicit
traffic between countries character
istic, of all borders, have turned their
attention to smuggling sugar into
Mexico.
Sugar is on the American embargo
list for the period of the war. So is
lard and also -four and butter and
other foodstuffs. But sugar is the
most popular commodity with the
smugglers. 1t is easy to carry across,
does not spoil and can always be dis
posed of at high price once It is
over the border. The smugglers
match their wits against those of the
government keenest secret service
men, taking their winnings in Amer.
lean gold and their losses in the fed
eral penitentiaries.
Although bustles went out of style
many years ago the wearing Of them
has been revived by the sugar snug
glers. The Mexican women of ample
girth wear the rude canvas bustles
more for revenue than for style. Con-
cealed in the pockets of their bustles
are pounds and pounds Of sugar. Mex
lean women confederates of the snug
iglers fasten these cumbersome affairs
about their waists under their dress
skirts and walk or ride across the in
ternational bridge, until some curious
inspector discovers the ruse and stops
the practice by placing the smuggler
in Jail.
Kerosene cans are converted into
sugar receptacles by having the top
cut off, false bottom made to con-
tain a pint or less of kerosene and
the remainder of the space in the can
filled with sugar. Ten gallon-milk
cans have a milk container in the
center with sugar packed around it
in the remainder of the space. Three
of these cans were discovered with
100 pounds of sugar in each.
Petticoats with pockets sewed to
them, waists padded with sugar and
extra size stockings filled with sugar
are used by the smugglers and their
Iconfederates.

THE LONG ARM OF MERCY
(By DR.. Frank Crane.)


The Red Cross is the Long Arm OF
Mercy.
It is the kindness of mankind-or-
|ganized.
In man is an angel and a devil, a
DR.. Jekyil and Mr.. Hyde. The Red
Cross is the good, aroused, energized
Ito thwart the bad.
It is the best antidote we know to
he bane Of war.
There are other charities, more or
less helpful. The Red Cross is the
mightiest of all charities, the love and
pity of all men made supremely eff
cient.
II, as Emerson said," Sensible men
and conscientious men all over the
world are of one religion this is the
expression of that religion.
The Red Cross is humanity united
| in service.
It asks no mans opinion; only his
freed.
Black or white, friend or foe, to
the Red Cross there is no difference;
/ it only asks: "Who is suffering" And
to him it goes.
The, Red Cross is so efficient that
governments recognized It; so pure In
its purpose that whoever wishes well
his fellow men, desires to help it; So
clean in its administration that the
most suspicious can find no fault in it
The Red Cross not only seeks tc
alleviate the cruelties Of war; it Is
the expression of those human senti.
'ments that some day will put an enc
to war.
| It is the impulse Of Love, striving
tc overcome the impulse of hate.
1t is mercy's cooperation strug
lgiing against wars rivalries.
1t is the one society in which ever,
man, woman and child should be en-
Irclled; for it knows no sects. ne
lprejudices, no protesting opinion; the
human being does not live that does
not feel that the starving should be
fed, the sick tended and the wounded
healed.
Majestic and divine is this Long
Arm of Mercy; it finds the fallen or
the battlefield, it brings the nurse and
the physician to the victim in the hos
pital; it leads the weeping orphan to
a home; it feeds the starving, cares
for the pest-smitten whom all Others
abandon, and pours the oil of help and
pity in to the bitter wounds of the
world.
Where volcano has wrought desc.
lation in Japan, or a flood in China
or hurricane in Cuba, or a famine
in India, or a plague in Italy, or raw
aging armies in Poland, Serbia OF
Belgium, there flies the Red Cross
the angel of God, whom the fury OF
men cannot Danish from the earth
ard to the ends Of the earth, over all
the ways of the Seven Seas, wher-
ever is human misery, there is extend.
eG, to bless and to heal, its long Arm
OF Mercy.

This is a horrible example of what
can happen to a nation or to an indi-

The Kaiser is a thick, conceited

mouth and fall in a fit if anyone dared
to laugh at him. A thick, conceited
person is without sense of humor.
If he had one, he would realize the
absurdity of his own thickness and
conceit.
Similarly, the German people are
thick and conceited. They have stuffed

WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
in Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as well as the
neutrals, the U. S. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop OF
1917-191S is at least three and a half
million tons.
That the 1917-191S crop of cane sug-
ar was two million tons in excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half of
the world cane crop, and the Java sug-
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java a large part of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
it requires $50 to 160 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production FailS.
Taking the Allied nations as group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war The French
yield of beet sugar is now only 29.1
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding, the out
break of hostilities in Europe France
produced an average of 1882 tons of
sugar each year. For 19i7-18 the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as COM
nared with more than 200 that were
in existence before the war and before
the general campaign of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar In 1918
than in 1867, when the total output
was O2,415 tons.
Italy in 1917-1S produced 100000
tons of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
11O250 less than the annual output of
sugar for the five year pre:war pc

TELL OF ENEMY'S APPROACH
Certain Birds and Animals Make the
Best Kind Of SentineIs That an
Army Can Employ.

A wounded soldier, asked what had
surprised him most in the battle zone,
told of finding a robins nest in an
empty shell case.
AS a rule birds are the finest sem
tinels in the animal kingdom. They
become aware of approaching aircraft
long before man hears anything. Early
in the war parrots were kept at the
Eiffel tower as sentinels, but they
grew accustomed to the sound of en-
envy planes and were no longer Of use.
Pheasants always grow restless and
chatter noisily if Zeppelins are ap-
preaching, even when they are far
away, so far that man can hear no
sound.
What is perhaps stranger is the fact
that such ordinary creatures as pigs
should sight balloon when it is COM
ing over. The "blister" makes no
sound, yet, should one appear against
the sky, miles from farmyard, the
farmer will be made aware of the fact
by the curious antics of his pigs and
the clucking of his hens.
Toy dogs always are susceptible to
the presence of danger, and many d
pet shows uneasiness before raid.
Cats, too, show fear Of gunfre and
seem to know when danger threatens.
Dogs, birds and horses are very SEN
sitive to sound. Watch the birds dur
Ing daylight raid, listen to the dogs,
and visit the stable where the horse
restively stamps up and down. But
that all animals can accustom them
selves to sounds that cause fear is
proved by our cavalry horses, dogs
that accompany their masters into the
firing line, and the robins nest In the
empty shell case.
