Fate and Fancy,

Many Of us feel that Fate has not
treated US fairly-that II we had had
such and such an opportunity how full
and satisfying life would be, says a
student Of human nature. But Fate
Is pretty accurate, after oil. II VIC
Snly look around us we will discover
and all too quickly, that those whom
we consider more fortunate" have as
much and even more to contend than
we have.

LETTER FROM
MISS MAE
EDWARDS

Logan has a double cause for
congratulating herself on booking
Madame Hammer and her excellent
company Of players who will play
"Hedda Gabler" and THE Master
Builder" at Nibley Hall on March 4
and 5. Among those players one Of
our own home girls will be found
Miss Mae Edwards. whose excellent
ability has SO often been demonstrat-
ed IN the plays Of the Utah Agricul-
tural College Dramatic Club and the
Periwig Club. She was chosen by
Madame Hammer. out of many anna
teur applicants for the place. to play
the part of Miss Tesman in "Hedda
Gabler." the part. though minor
one. affords an excellent opportun-
ity for doing a bit of real creative
acting. and 1t will be very interest
ing to see Miss Edwards taking her
place In a company Of professional
actors Of the highest rank. She has
unusual talent and has had excellent
training In the various college plays
In which she has taken part and we
shall not be surprised to see her
holding her own with other men,
bers of the cast.
Miss Edwards writes 10 a member
Of the Clio Club that Madame Ham,
mer is most inspiring coach, a
strong and interesting personality
and an actress of remarkable power,
and that the experience of training
made such a great artist is its own
rich reward. She says of Maurice
Brown who will be remembered by
Logan theater goers for the excellent
work he did in 1.-THE Trojan Woman"
when 1t was presented here two or
three years ago. that he makes a
very strong leading man for Madame
Hammer. In the roles Of George Tes-
man and Halvord solness.
Logan has much cause to congrat-
ulate herself In securing a great ar
list like Madame Hammer to inter-
pref two Of the great plays of great
playwright. The opportunity to see
her is q privilege that even the war
should not interfere with.
Susie Modgeska played in the old
Thatcher Opera House in 1905. Lo-
gan has had no such notable dram
attic feast as 1t will have next Mon
day and Tuesday when Madame
Hammer, the famous Norwegian ac-
tress Of the National Theater Of
Norway and the Little Theater Of
Chicago. comes to us in two plays.

of it were eagerly and scientifically arranged.
The use of poison gas, the dissemination of
disease germs, the bombardment of unforti-

unarmed passenger vessels were all details
of deliberate preparation for 'hightful-

the murderous planning secret, so that its
effect might not be lessened by anticipation
of it. The Prussian manner of thought and

CHAPTER XIX.
(COntinued1

Copyright, 1913, by William Fox)
DUT General Pershing knew that his
- men were Americans. He knew
that they could be trusted to hold
their part of the line with the tradi-
tionary bravery of their race. He
knew that their morale would coun-
terbaIance their lack of training. All
night he pondered this question. In
the morning he went to General Foch.
the commander of the gallant French
army.
There is at this time no other
question than that of fighting he
said. Infantry, artillery, aviation,
all that we have are yours to dispose
of as you will. I have come to say to
you that the American PEOPLE would
be proud to be engaged in the great
est battle in history"
France gladly accepted the offer of
the American troops, and a place was
assigned to them in the battleline.
There was great rejoicing in the
American camps that day. Hurried
preparations were completed and
soon thousands were under way.
Great army trucks filled every road
leading from the American encamp-
ments. Long lines of artillery plough
ed through the mud. Men in olive
drab marched by the thousands. The
American army was going to the
front to help to stop the Germans.
It was during this great crisis that
the Allies completed a plan that was
to have the result of solidifying their
forces against any drive the enemy
could make. Heretofore the army of
each country had been under the
separate command of its own gener-
abs.
During the great spring drive of
1918 the disadvantage of this ar
rangement made itself heavily felt.
There was lack of coordination be-
tween the British and the French
armies of which the Germans took
advantage, and it was a disunited

front that met them. 1t was seen
that in order to fight the enemy most
effectively there must be one su-
preme commander of all the armies
in the field.
At the Allied war conference it was
decided that General Foch of the
French army should be given this
supreme command and should as
sumo the tactical defense and offense
of all armies in the field. Thus for
the first time the Allied nations were
putting a united front against the
enemy.
The March drive was halted. Fol-
lowing in swift succession came two
other great drives. each of which was
less effective than the preceding one
The presence of Americans in the
battlline was making itself felt. Raw
American regiments had been bri-
gaded with British and French divi-
stonS to be given the training that
heretofore had been confined to their
training camps. Other regiments and
divisions held a part of the line alone.
Under such an arrangement PERISH
1ng's forces soon became as efficient
as the regulars with whom they
fought.
On April 4, 1918. King Albert of
Belgium conferred upon General
Pershing the Grand Cross of the Or
der of Leopold, the highest mark of
distinction that Belgium can bestow
This was in appreciation of the great
work he had accomplished against
the invader of Belgium.
By May, 1918, new arrivals of
troops had increased Pershings COM
nland to more than a. million men. A
force of this size was one to be reck-
oned with, and the high command de-
cided that General Pershing should
be given a command that not only
would include the American army
but also several units of the French
and British armies.
His forces had become so import
ant factor that General Pershing
even at that time. held the same rel

ative rank in the Allied War Coun-
Gil as did Sir Douglas Haig, COM
handing the British army and Gen
eral Petain of the French army. This
did not mean that the American
forces could properly be compared
numerically with the French or the
British; but it did mean that the AL
lies anticipated the important role
that America soon was to play in
building up those necessary reserves
and in bringing up the much needed
manpOWer to the battlelines at a
very critical time.
There was no tendency to wait I'M
til further American reinforcemen ts
arrived before giving General PERISH
ing duties commensurate with the
importance of the aid America was
fast developing.
The United States could we'll feel
proud of her achievem ents. No other
nation in history ever had despatch
ed and maintained an army of more
than million men to a battlefield
more than 5000 miles distant. She
has given her all with the same
cheerfulness as has France, without
the same pressing motive. Her mo-
tive was q beneficent one, while that
of France was self preservation.
America entrusted her sons to the
care and the leadership OF her ablest
soldier and she is depending upon
that man-General Pershing-to win
for her and the world. General
Pershing has shown that he is the
man for the work and that the world
will not be disappointed in him.

Ground Glass i'm Candy
Sold to Camp Dix Men

CAMP DIX, WRIGHTSTOWN, N. j.,
Feb. 5.-Discovery of what is believed
to have been an attempt by an alien
enemy against lives of American SOL
diers, through placing ground glass In
candy, resulted in an order from Divi-
sion Headquarters to-day warning off
GERS and men against purchasing any
products manufactured by a Boston
Confectionery company. AS far as is
known, no men in camp arc suffering
any i'll effects from eating the candy,
the discovery by chance of the presence
of the glass having permitted the de-
partment to seize all the goods made by
this company which were on sale at
regimental exchanges.
A New Jersey artilleryman pur-
chased q five-cent CONNECTION at the
308th F. A. exchange. Breaking it in
half before he placed it in his mouth,
he saw glitter of light on particles
in the candy. Chemical analysis, divi-
sion officers say, showed the candy and
much other candy in the same ship
ment was filled with powdered glass.
The case has been reported to Federal
agents for investigation. No charge
has been lodged against the company,
but it is likely that every employe who
handled the CONNECTIONS shipped to
Camp Dix will be subject to investiga-
ton.

so as to provide retrospective rate

IS of ~ Passengers
Held on Dutch Liner
Freed After Inquiry

Fifteen of the forty-ninc passengers
of the steamship Nieuw Amsterdam,
held at Ellis Island by the Federal au-
thorities, in the course of thorough
search of the vessel for German spies,
were released last night. The examina-
ton of the remainder will continue to-
day, it was said.
| In addition to the member of the
crew arraigned in Newark, another
man, it is understood, has aroused the
suspicion of the intelligence agents
combing the ship. A number of sheets
of paper were found in his possession.
On these sheets were inscribed rows OF
numerals, and, it is said, the man made
some effort to conceal them from the
searching squad.
On the theory that the numbers con-
stitute new German code, intended to
carry information from Holland to
spies in this country, the sheets are
being put under careful scrutiny, and
the man is being detained at Ellis
Island.
A young and talented woman is
among the passengers still under de-
tention for the investigation being made
by the special board of inquiry. This
girl, it is said. came with much bag
gage, which was examined with care.
She remained calm until the inspectors
became interested in a supply. OF ap..
parently blank paper she had brought
writing paper of an exceptional quail
ity. She became hysterical when the
paper was seized and taken with her to
Ellis Island.
The germ hunt in the cargo of the
Nieuw Amsterdam, especially among
the lily bulbs, was continued yesterday
by agents of the Department of Agrl-
culture, who are looking to see if any
"poison pollen" destructive to wheat
and vegetation, is contained in the
/ bulbs.
The 300 steerage passengers Of the
liner were yesterday taken to Ellis ISL
and for examination. Late in the at
ternoon it was stated that more than
100 had already been permitted to land.
SANTA ROSA, Cal, Feb. 9.-Ger-
many's attempt to destroy the wheat
crop of the United States by poisonous
pollen or germs does not form any real
immediate danger to agriculture, in the
opinion of Luther Burbank, the great
horticultural expert.
Indeed, Mr.. Burbank believes the at
tempt to cripple America in such
manner argues a surprisingly low
morale and general nervous debility on
the part of Germany.
"Poisonous pollen cannot be used sue
cessfully to injure wheat, as the wheat
plant is almost entirely self-polli-
nated," he said to-day. "There are,
however, fungus and bacterial life
germs which couldtpossibly be used for
this purpose, both on wheat and other
important crops.
"Perhaps the cost of such a campaign
would hardly pay, and in any case such
undetermined work is pure manifesto
ton of weakness and general nervous
debility, not of strength. The univer-
sal hereditary tendency of all mankind
points to the fact that justice accom-
panies moral force. This intangible
but all-pervading force in mankind, a
world community spirit, will win over
the futile Vaccinations of weaklings,
for all mankind everywhere will arise
to annihilate such destroyers."
