Except in the Italian theatre, the
military activities are still confined
to small affairs carried out by raid
ing parties and bombardments on
various sectors. The Austro-Ger-
mans, both in the mountain region
of northern Italy and around the
lower Piave river, have made vicious
counter-attacks, after heavy prepara-
tory artillery work, to recapture po-
sitions wrested from them early in
the week. All the attempts were
without result.
Again there has been considerable
aerial activity in this region, in which
five enemy aeroplanes were sent to
earth.

Hindenburg Supreme In West
Leaving Russia to Diplomats

Although the peace pour parlers
between the Bolsheviki and the Teu-
tonic allies have been resumed at
Brest-Litovsk, the peace by agree
ment section of the German populace
and some of the newspapers continue
their expressions of dissatisfaction
with the ambitions of the pan-Ger-
manists and the terms that have
been advanced by the German dele
gates at Brest-Litovsk as the basis
for a peace.
Amsterdam dispatches announce
that an understanding has been
reached between the military and po-
litical parties in Germany on the
basis of the Russian program of no
annexations and no indemnities in
the east, and leaving to Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg, in case OF a
German victory, the liberty of deal
ing with possible annexations in the
west, but the evidence tends to show
that the factions are still at odds.
Additional meetings, at which
speakers endeavored to outline the
viewpoint of the militaristic element,
have been broken up, and it is an
nounced that Chancellor Won Hert-
ling is to be permitted to deliver his
delayed address on Germany's war
aims to the main committee of the
reichstag next Friday, for which the
country has been clamoring.

Smoked Dry Pipe.

The lost pipe of a Hun raider was
found in the garden of house in an
Essex town over which a German air
ship passed. A portion of the stem
has been cut and flattened and upon
it is written in indelible ink. Karl
Werner, 1313S-A. G." The under side
of the bowl and the stem have been
notched eleven times and on the side
of the mouthpiece are more notches.
The finder of the pipe said: There
was no smell of tobacco about the pipe
and it had not apparently been recent
ly smoked. 1t is possible that it was
used by the owner as dry pipe as the
mouthpiece shows signs of hard bit
ing. The notches cut in the stem may
record the number of times the air.
man had flown with it in his mouth"
Smoking a dry pipe is not unusual.
especially would it be the case in a
Zeppelin in which spark from light
ed pipe might cause the ships destruc-
ton.

DOFf|NG The HAT
PoIiteness Traced Back to the
Primitive Times.
Ancient Peoples, as Mark Of submls-
sion, Uncovered Body and Surren-
dered Their Clothing.

We consider q man a gentleman VINO
takes off his hat to lady. At least
the act Is thought to be gentiemanly,
polite. The origin Of this custom, ike
so many other customs common among
so-called civilized peoples, goes back to
primitive times. says the Salt Lake
Tribune.
When person was made captive his
conqueror stripped him of his weapons
and clothing and left him without any
thing he could call his own. The cap
tive was thus made slave, his lack
of clothing being evidence Of his sub
jugation. We need only to look at the
sculptures of the Assyrians to see the
truth of the fact. And in Isaiah 20 "a,
we find the following statement: And
the Lord said, like as my servant
Isaiah hath walked naked and bare
foot three years for sign, so shall
the king Of Assyria lead away the
Egyptians prisoners and the Ethio-
plans captives. young and old, naked
and barefoot"
The first step, then, In tracing the
origin of taking off the hat, is the
surrender of the clothing among primi-
tive and ancient peoples as mark OF
submission. The next step is the un-
covering of the body as mark of rev.
erence. There are all degrees Of I'M
covering, though often only the most
valuable parts of the clothing are taken
off in the presence of superiors.
1t must be remembered that this
act of uncovering the body was cere-
monial In nature and used to show
reverence to superior. Then came
the use of the ceremonial to propitiate
the dead. We can see a remnant of
this most any time. At funerals and in
our graveyards men take off their hats
They still take off their hats on enter
ing churches and before the images
of Christ and the Madonna.
In times of chivalry men raised their
hats to ladies to show reverence. But
this was only superficial in meaning.
A knight would ride down poor peas
ant woman carrying a large burden
and never think of helping her-least
of all would he think of taking off his
hat to her. However, if he heard Of
some beautiful damsel of his own class
in the slightest danger. imaginary or
real, he would go to her and. hat in
hand, kneel and dedicate himself TO her
service.
Today much the same things occur.
Ordinarily a gay youth forgets to take
off his hat to his mother, yet he
shows this Difference to his best girl"
After all it is only form, and polite
ness should go deeper than this. How
ever, the form persists, and it is Of
some historical interest to remember
that it is remnant of the primitive
stripping of captive by which process
was expressed the fact that he yielded
up all he had. Taking off the hat to a
wealthy girl means, occasionally, not
only the yielding up of all you have,
but the getting of all she has. Cere-
mony is often nothing but hard cal
culation in regard to personal results. |
