. There waa one
sNMT thing which sur
prised me very
much as l journeyed through Bel
GUM, and that was the scarcity CT
dogs. Apparently most of them have
been. taken by the Germans and
what are left are beasts of burden
who are too tired at night to bark or
bother intruders. This was mighty
good thing for me, for l would GER
tainly have stirred them up in pass
ing through backyards, as 1 some
times did when l was making short
cut.
One night as / came out of yard
1t was so pitch dark l could not see
ten feet ahead of me and l was right
in the back of a little village, al
though did not know it. l crawled
along, fearing l might come to Il
crossroads, at which there would in
all probability be a German sentry.
Twenty Feet from a Hun!
My precaution served me in good
stead, for 1 had come out in the
main street of village and within
twenty feet of me, sitting on some
bricks where they were building a
little store, l could see the dim out
line of a German with a spiked hell
met!
l could not cross the street and the
only thing to do was to back track
1t meant making q long detour and
losing two hours of precious time
and effort, but there was no help for
it, so plodded wearily back, cursing
the Huns at every step.
The next nigh while crossing
some fields l came to q road. 1t was
one of the main roads of Belgium
and was paved with cobble stones
On these roads you can hear a
wagon or horse about a mile or Two
away. / listened intently before l
moved ahead, and hearing nothing
concluded that the way was clear.
AS 1 emerged from the field and
got my first glimpse of the road,
got the shock of my life! In either
direction, as far as 1 could see, the
road was lined with German SOL
diers! What they were doing in
that part of Belgium 1 did not know
but you can be mighty sure I didn't
spend any time trying to find out.
Again it was necessary to change
my course and lose a certain amount
of ground, but by this time l had be-
come fairly we'll reconciled to these
reverses, and they did not depress
me as much as they had at first.
At this period of my adventure, If
a day or night passed without its
thrill / began to feel almost disap-

CALEX|C0 PAVING
MAN ENJO|NED

The filing of an injunction suit may
seriously interfere with the compile
tion of the paving for Calexico.
Contractor G. R. Daily and the city
were served with a notice of an in
junction suit which was filed in the
United States district court at Los
Angeles by Warren Brothers Company
to restrain Contractor DAILY from US
ing a patented paving known as ''Wlar-
renite" and "Bitulithic" in the work in
this city.
/ The patented paving can only be
laid upon the payment of a royalty
which, it is understood in this case,
is placed at $1.25 a yard. The COM
plant filed charges Daily with at
tempting to lay this paving without
having paid a royalty thereon, and the
city has been made a party to the
suit, although having no actual respon-
sibility.
Former City Attorney Butcher said
that the DAILY contract was for s174,-
90 0and that the city held bond from
DAILY in the sum of 100000 for the
faithful performance of his contract
and was thus amply protected in that
direction, although it was probable
that a delay would be caused
City Attorney Blaisdell will repre-
sent the city, and Daily, it is under
stood, has Los Angeles attorney. Mr..
'Daly is absent in San Diego, so no
statement is available of his side of
the case, although it is limited that
some rather interesting developments
will be the result of the suit.

COLL|NCE
TO Be HEARD HERE

Private w. F. Collinge Of Canada S
"Fighting Seventh" who served nine
months as a bomb thrower in the
trenches of France and Belgium, will
appear under the auspices of the Ell
Centre Home Guards in the Tulane
Theatre, Tuesday evening, April %, in
his vivid narrative, Lights and
Shadows of No Mans Land,' based on
his life in the trenches and said to
be the most gripping warlogue on the
American stage today.
Collinge leads his audience through
the atrocities of Kaiser-cursed Bel
GUM; on night raids of the bomb
squad in No Mans Land, that she'll
spattered strip between the lines;
amid the daily events Of life in the
trenches; into action; under the Flag
of Mercy-the Red Cross; and along
the western front, where he fought
and where our boys are fighting to-
day.
Collinge does not tell what he
heard or read, but merely his own
actual experiences. His talk is full
of optimism and does not dwell upon
the horrors of war.
Collinge lost his arm while lead
ing a bomb raid near Messines. A
German bomb had fallen among six
teen of his companions, who froze in
their tracaks, momentarily expecting
death With rare presence Of mind
Collinge seized the sputtering bomb
and attempted to hurl it back into
the Hun trench whence it came. The
missile exploded just as it left his
hand, wounding three of his compan-
ions, in addition to putting him out
of action, but cheating the death which
would have ensued ha dthe bomb
exploded on the ground.
Private Collinge has met with un-
qualified success since he has been
on tour and has received unstinted
praise from the press and the public.

OLD D|Az PAVING
FOUND IN JUAREz
(By Associated Press)

Juarez, Mexico, April 1S.-Ameriean
street paving construction crews
working on Gale Comercio; the prin-
cipal business street of this little
border town, recently uncovered a
coating of bitumen paving while ex-
cavating for the new paving to be
laid along the street. At the same
time a sidelight of the old Diaz ad-
ministration was uncovered. When
the meeteing between President Taft
and President Diaz was arranged to
be held here on October 16, 1909, Pres
ident Diaz sent special commission
er here to arrange for the affair.
Among other improvements ordered
was the paving of the two principal
streets over which President Taft's
party would pass from the interna-
tional bridge.

German Treachery.

"When the soldiers reach a trench
the Germans are ready to throw up
their hands and call TKameradE while
they are sending men around to at
tack you from behind. They muir
dered men sent to receive their sur
render and English soldiers were found
crucified in their dugouts," said Cap
tain David Fallon in one of his ad-
dresses to big Eastern audience.
Captain Fallon's right arm is useless
as result of his war experiences,
but he can tell about "The Big Fight
as few other soldiers can. He is an
orator as well as a soldier.

THE oLDIADIFS, HOME

One of the most necessary institutions in Mississippi is what Is known as the "Old Ladies' Home,' situated in the suburbs of Jackson. As it's name indi- cates, it is a home for old women who are unable to take care of themselves and who have nobody on whom they can de- pend for shelter and the necessaries Of life. The capacity of the institution is about 50, and every room and every bed is always in use. They have every home comfort and are given every possible care and attention-the majority of them faring far better than they ever knew before, but there are many inmates who have seen far better days The home Is supported entirely by voluntary contrl- buttons, except that counties may appro- priate as much as Sl00 per year for the support of each inmate from that coun- ty. The directors of the home are now appealing for funds, declaring their cup board is almost bare. Thursday was "tag day for the home, and there was generous response on the part of the citizens of Jackson, as is always the case, but more is needed.

LOSS TO MISSISSIPPI

pr. F. R. Lloyd, for more than quarter of century a member of the faculty of the A. and M. college, has rendered his resignation, effective the first of January, and it is announced that he has accepted the office of director of the bureau of farm development for the Memphis Chamber of Commerce. This is a very distinct Joss to the agri- cultural interests of Mississippi and IS regretted by all well-informed persons. However it is well to remind Misslssip- plans that Dr. Lloyd, as has been the case with scores of other distinguished educators, especially along agricultural lines, has gone with those who consider the laborer worthy of his hire. When it comes to paying valuable teacher a decent salary, Mississippi will not just lets him go-and more progressive and more appreeiative states have gobbled LID scores of the best.
