he said but it missed the mark, 50
nothing else can kill me"
MascOts and luck-bringers OF va
rious sorts are numerous in all tho
armies of today. They are Of grea;
variety. although perhaps tiny ra5-
bits and black cats made OF lucky
metal are encountered more fire.
quently than anything else Probably
in most cases the lucky charm which
soldier carries is something sent
him by his womenfolk in the home

trinket of some kind that has been
passed down i'm the family as a lucE-
bringer
Among soldiers superstitions, Of
which the British soldier has his IN ]
share. one OF the most characteristic
is connected with the number three
Fear Third Line.
THE third time is never the
same" is a proverb among the irish
troops The third of anything is
fatal is common expression
among the English country battal-
ions. Soldiers have been known to
refuse 10 take their third leave. feel
ing certain that it Will be their last.
A soldiers third wound is said 20
be the one which must be most
carefully attended TO. A develop
ment Of this same superstition pro-
hibits the lighting OF three cigarettes
with one match.
odd numbers, according to the
British Tommy. are more likely TO
be unlucky than even ones. and l.
is no worse than nine. Friday as an
unlucky day has been dethroned.
and there is no particular bad luck
connected with any day of the week
i'm TOmmy's estimation. Sunday.
however. is prominently lucky
day for battles.
The lucky flower. by common con-
sent. is white heather, and a piece
properly tucked away inside the hat
band is supposed TO save the wearer
from a fatal wound.
Some regiments regard certain
decorations and medals as unlucky
not to the wearer, but to the regi-
ment in general. One very well
known battalion objects strongly
every time one of it's number IS
awarded the military cross.
As regimental pets. black cats are
regarded as the luckiest possession
detachment can have and the ar
rival OF stray animal of this color
at gun-pit or dugout is an event
Of great Importance. Everyone is
bound to be lucky for some hours
at least. To meet a black cat while
marching mp TO the trenches puts
every member of the company in the
happiest humOr. On the other hand,
black magpie flying across the
line Of march is a bad omen. To
hear the cuckoo calling before
breakfast is another bad omen.

OFFENSIVE BY ALLIED
'NAVIES is PREDICTED
Authorities declare Raids Against Sub.
marine Bases Are Forerunners of
Further Sea Action

Washington. May 17-An Allied
naval offensive of sizable proportion.
with Great Britain. France, the United
States and Italy and probably Japan
participating. was predicted in Entente
naval quarters tody.
The authorities declared that the
British raids against the Ostend and
Zeebrugge U-boat nests. followed by the
successful Italian sally against Polla
and Durazzo, are evident forerunners
of further spectacular sea action.
Simultaneous action by the British
American naval forces against the Ger
mans in the North Sea, and by the
Franco-Italians against the Austrians in
the Adriatic is believed to be in the
allied plan of action. The British raids
have shown the possibility of getting
past the German mine fields around the
U-boat bases.
The complete destruction of the bases.
as well ass the decentralization of the
German line near the Belgium coast,
could perhaps be accomplished by the
English Channel action. And at least
the Teuton might be forced TO shift his
bases eastward.

COMPANY MUST PAY
MARINES INSURANCE
Courts Decision Is of Great
Importance to Benefciaries
of Service Men

An important decision affecting life
insurance beneficiarics of soldiers acct
dentally killed while in service has been
made by Judge Vessel who awarded
$4,000 to Mrs. Mary B. McCahey for the
death of her son. a lieutenant of ma
rines. The verdict was for the full
amount of the insurance policy.
The policy was taken out by Lieuten-
ant John McCahey. He was killed last
July while cleaning a revolver at Camp
tempted to collect the insurance the John
Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, OF Boston, refused payment.
The company resisted payment, beyond
the return of tine first years premium,
under the clause in the policy which pro-
vided that the liability of the company
hereunder, during the first policy year,
shall be limited to the premium paid
hereon II the insured shall die by suicide.
while sane or insane, during the said
year as the result of military or naval
service in time of war, or as the result
OF making or undertaking an aerial flight
without a permit for such service. or
flight from the company, signed by the
president vice president or secretary
or an assistant secretary"
Judge Vessel, in his charge to the jury
ruled that the accidental manner In
which McCahey met his death was not In
military or naval service as contemplated
by the limitation clause, and that the
fact that the insurance company ha6
knowledge from this application, which
was attached to the policy, that he was
in the military service of the Govern
ment and had been In the Government
service was equivalent to the granting Of
a permit for him TO continue In the MILL
tary service, and the insurance company
therefore. under the law was liable foi
the full amount ef the policy.
