Stole SUGAR by Bucketfuls.

Sugar thieves employed an ingenious
method the other day at Launceston.
Australia. A quantity Of sugar had
been bought for export but, ships not
being Immediately available, it, was de-
cided to store the stuff at the port. Ac.
cordingly huts were built on the
wharves, but as the decking had shrunk
somewhat, tarpaulins were first laid
down., and then the sugar bags
placed on this. The doors were
locked, and Waterman placed in
charge. When the time came to empty
the sheds the bottom tier Of bags
were found fiat and empty, with slit
IN the under side: Each slit CORE
sponded with one In the tarpaulin d.

Is years ago he came to North Da-

"Shuck" stayed with US two years, and
finally he disappeared one day. Pos
sibly some dog got him, or he may
have been crushed by train.
For the past 20 years an English
sparrow has nested in the caves Of the
tower. and this sparrow flies in and out
Of the tower at will, picks up bread
crumbs on the floor and catches an oc
cusional cockroach. What worries the
tower men is that our pet sparrow may
some day eat our pet cOckroach.
Last year a toad hoped up on to
the doorstep of the tower and sat there
blinking. One of the boys fed him
fly and the toad gobbled it in an
instant, and every afternoon all sum-
mer long that toad hoped up on to
the step and ate flies as fast as the
railroad men would feed them to him.
The boys took turns and fed him in
relays; the yardmaster said the boys
were neglecting their work to feed the
toad; but he became so fascinated
watching the performance that he
caught flies for an hour one day and
fed the toad. 49,.

she brought in snake nearly every
day.

Lonely Men in Signal Tower
Welcome All Sorts.
co<krc aeh That Likes Tobacco and
Drinks Ink Is One Visitor-Toad
IA Came Regularly for It's
Feast Of Flies.

A Boston and Maine railroad signal
towerman tells this story of pets he
has made in his lonely perch above the
tracks:
At midnight nine months ago cock
roach crept out from under the tele-
graph desk and began to drink out Of
the inkwell; just about that time laid
my cigar down on the desk and began
to work the telegraph key.
The cockroach walked over to my
cigar and sucked at the moist end for
q second or so, then ran to the ink
well again and took drink, then came
back to the cigar; he repeated this
performance several times and stag
sgered away drunk as lord.
~ Every night around midnight for the
past nine months this cockroach has
drank from the inkwell on my desk
and either sucked the moist end of my
cigar or some moistened tobacco I
place near the inkwell for him.
One Of the boys found tiny musk.
rat in the marsh back of the signal
tower one day, and he brought it into
the tower. The muskrat became very
tame and proved a most affectionate
pet. He slept on the desk near the
telegraph instruments for over two
years. Although he went out very
often. he wouldn't stay long, and
would scratch at the door until some
Of US would run downstairs and, let
him In. Unfortunately our pet was
killed BY freight train while cross
ln9 tho tracks near the tower one day.

tlHE FRENCH GUNNER
 DEFEATS HUN U-BOAT

PARIS, April 3O.-Heroism of French sailors, of which so little has been learned during the war, is told with the official story of the French sailing patrol boat Goeland II.
 During one of the blackest nights of January the Goeland II suddenly found herself under the point blank fire of the two guns of a German sub marine. Despite the fact that the ship was torn open beyond repair, the crew rushed to their single gun and went into action. Two gunners were killed before a shot was fired from the ship; third calmly worked the gun alone, and his second shell put the submarines rear gun out of action. The U-boat then submerged and gave up the fight.
 The Goeland II sank, and with her the captain. The second mate, gravely wounded, directed the remain ing men of the crew into the boats, which were floating where the ship disappeared
 The minister of marine has en- dowed the brave second mate and the third gunner with the military medal and cited the deed to the Order of the Army.

OFFICERS FROIV
 ENVIRONMENTS
 ARE GRADUATED

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-Ten thousand or more student officers who today have completed their courses of training at National army canton ments and National Guard camps will not be graduated and given commits sions, but will be placed on an eligibil- ity list, from which, in order of their ratings, they will be commissioned and called to service as the army needs them.
 The men are exclusively non-com- missioned officers and privates of the National army, National guard, and regular army, or students from col leges having military courses in the curriculum.
 Until called to duty as officers these men will wear white brassards on their arms as an insignia of their status. They will be called to the service in small groups. Consequently It IS impossible to present today any list of graduates" as was done when the two previous series of camps closed.
 Any man who has remained in the camps until today is assured of a place on the eligible list.
 Late reports to the war department bear out the estimate that 50 per cent or the men admitted will complete the course.
 Elimination of unfit students has been proceeding practically since the opening of the camps. Physical ex- aminations of those who passed all other tests began on April g.
 In each division school. students drawn from the division organization VIII be placed in eligible list for in- 1antry'' or eligible list for field ar tiilery," according to a war depart ment memorandum Students from other sources will be placed on sen arate lists for the same arms. It is the purpose of the war department to return the new officers. so far as IS practicable, to the units from which they were taken.

aIfERICAN TROOPS REST
 AT OLD ROMAN RESORT

AIX-LES-BAINS, April 3O.-Before the birth of Christ Roman soldiers pa raded the narrow streets of Aix-les- Bahs, and the toga was a familiar sight draped about the soldiers and officers of the army of Julius Caesar.
 Today the soldiers of the United States are doing what the Romans did 1000 years ago, and the olive drab is as familiar on the streets as was the Roman toga.
 Aix-les-Bains is an officially-desig- mated rest center for American troops on leave.
 The high command of the Roman evolutionary force selected the town on account of it's beauty, medicinal springs, Lake Bourget and the won derful, refreshing mountain air. To- cal inhabitants believe this was the very reason that the high command of the American expeditionary force picked Aix.
 Long before American "permission- aires" began to arrive the local mer- chants held meeting and decided to do the right thing by the Sammies. A scale of prices for everything sal able was fixed, and when the Sammy goes into store he knows exactly what he will have to pay before he orders.
