GERMAN OFFICERS AID
SENDING BRITISH MAIL
English Messenger outwits Huns in
Time of Need and Then
Collapses.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. :
LONDON, January 25.-Two German
officers recently handled more than o..
dozen cases of confidential British
dispatches, but they do not know IT.
The story is one of the many ad-s
venturous incidents which befall that
select body of British public servante
who wear a silver greyhound in their
buttonhole and are known as kingss
messengers. Many people imagine that
any one who carries dispatches for the. I
British government is a kings mes-S
senser. That is not correct: there
are only five men who hold commits 5
sions in that service; the others aree
merely adsuiralty couriers or war onoo1
couriers, and have. no right to the
higher title.

Pores Over Maps Early.

1t was close to o'clock in the morn
ing and the captain was busy porting
over maps when soldier raped at
the door and crawled through the cur
tain inside. AS the faint candle rays
revealed him I rubbed my eyes to see
whether 1 was awake or dreaming that
was at a minstrel show. The mans
face was BACKED in the most approved
style.
Our party has returned, sir. and
the last man has reported he SAID:
When the soldiers go on raids they
black their faces or rub them with
mud. so that they will not shine in the
moonlight" explained the captain.
Sitting at little charcoal fire after
twenty-five hours of tramping through
the trenches makes a person drowsy.
Have supper at o'clock this morning"
were the last words heard the captain
say before he dozed off for a two-hour
sleep.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
March 1.-The central powers. as every
one knows, have been basing great ex-
pectations economically on peace with
Russia. They hope to fill many empty
larders from the Russian granaries.
Up to the present nothing definite has
been decided upon between Germany
and Russia, ewing TO the unsettled
state of the latter country. but Aus
tria-Hungary, which no longer has
frontier with Russia, but only with the
new Ukrainian republic. is already
planning a system of imports. accord
ing to the terms Of the treaty Of Feb.
ruary .. which dealt fully with conn
mercial questions.

All Given Serious Consideration.

There is no doubt but that serious
consideration is being given to all these
compromise suggestions. Whether the
various sections having regard to the
opinions of their followers could af-
ford to agree upon them is debated
question. In politics as in trade a
man is often willing to accept less than
his demand. while refusing in the ne
gotiation to lower his demand lest a
breakdown in the bargain should pref
udice him for the future. There is a
growing feeling that If the operation
of this principle Is likely to prevent
an agreement by consent the govern
ment might take the matter into it's
own hands. having now heard what
everybody has to say, and impose q
compromise settlement on its own re-
sponsibility.
There Is no reason to insist on the
finality Of such a settlement. If 1t
were practical and workable and con-
tanned the germs Of its own expan-
sion. however easy it might be logic
ally to criticise its details. it might
prove to be Of great service.

MAY Be AGREEMENT
ON IRISH HOME RULE
Talk in Dublin That Compro-
mise Will Start Parliament
to Work.
BY WILLIAM H. BRADEN.
Cablegram to The Sunday Star nj
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918

Cablegram to The Sunday Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1913.
DUBLIN, March 2.-There is talk here
of the possibilities of compromise on
| the home rule question. Like all COM
promises, it would fully satisfy no.
body, but it would have the advantage
of starting almost Immediately the
working of an Irish parliament, giving
the Irish control of their own admin
istration and relieving Great Britain
Of task which she is now quite will
ing to have devolve upon those to
whom it ought to belong.
The first and greatest claim is that
+ the compromise would remove the
Ulster mon possumus" and make the
Irish parliament one for all Ireland.
To secure this result the nationalist
will go far in making concessions.
The concessions suggested are that
the Irish parliacent should have no
control of education in Ulster. should
plicable to Ulster. and not have, at
least for a term OF years, control over
the Irish police. The first of these, al
though apparently the most controver-
sial. would not in practice make any
difference in practice, though religion
is a source of division.
Ulster Suspicious of the Pope.
Ulster is insistently suspicious of the
Pope. The general basis of edu-
cation all over Ireland is pure denomi-
nationalism more or less disguised, but
perfectly effective for giving each de-
nomination control over its own
schools The Catholics do not want in
fiuence in the Protestant schools, and
on the other hand that day has long
since passed when it was hoped to
wean the majaeity Of the people from
their faith.
AS to labor legislation, it is hard to
see why the big business men of Bel
fast should prefer legislation from the
Westminster parliament, which prom
ises in the future to be largely in
f1uenced by the British labor vote. to
the labor legislation likely to be passed
by an Irish parliament. Still it is be-
lieved that they do prefer it and would
regard the suggestion as valuable
concession.
Withholding from the Irish parlia-
ment control of the police Is a serious
reduction of any power of seif-govern-
ment, but it is pointed out that the
resolution was contained in former
home rule bills, and that the present
condition of Ireland in resistance to
law, as shown by raids for arms and
cattle driving, makes necessary such
reinsurance.

Babies Die in Mothers Arms.

Fragments were blocking up the exit,
and we had to fight through to clear a
way out. 1t was pitiful to hear the
women, some calling out distractedly
Tor their children. and others screaming
that their babies had been killed in
their arms. Some of the children We
brought out were dead.
Our frepen were at work as quickly
rs possible, but in few minutes the
whole place was like a furnace. The
bomb had fallen and exploded, yet not
more than ten feet away I came across
two little children standing absolutely
untouched. They were crying with
fright, and I got hold of them and man
aged to get them out That was about
the last / remember of it, for almost
Immediately 1 fainted-I suppose with
the pain of my hand and arm, of which

had fallen down right on a group of
four women. Three of them were kill
ed outright, 1 think. but the fourth was
only pinned down and was screaming
out to be released. Four of US tried to
get her out, but we couldn't make the
stonework bulge an inch, although we
tried to lever it up with all kinds OF
things.
Forced Off by Flames.
'.All the time the flames were getting
hercer and flercer and coming nearer
and nearer, and at length one great
burst of flame and smoke drove US right
away, setting light to our clothes. and
we could not get near the woman again.
One of the men was alight from head
to foot. and we had to roll I i'm in the
water. which was ankle deep, before we
could put out the flames.
Its simply horrible inside there a
fireman told me. Masses of stuff had
fallen down, making escape impossible
for some of the people, and we found
them crouching down in all sorts OF
corners, all dead, where they had OBJ
viously tried to get away from the fame
and smoke. One woman was kneel1ng
down with two little mites huddled up
TO her.
1T took five men to lift up one great
lump of concrete which lay across a
woman's leg. She was dead. partly from
burning and partly from suffocation.

REFUGE FAILS TO SHELTER

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 21.-The murderous
work of a German airplane raider by
whose bombs many women and chill
dren were crushed or burned to death
! in n recent raid on London is WILDLY
described in an interview by one of the
victims in the Daily Chronicle. 1t Is
such stories as this that have reused
the Briton to grim wrath and the de-
mand for vengeance. The narrator, a
man, had taken refuge in shelter with
many others. including d number of
women and children.
I'VE had scarcely got the last of the
people in when the bomb fell, said
the man. "All of them had been as
TO then. The children particularly were
fine. They were singing The Bull Dog
Breed and Way Down in Tennessee,
and the younger Riddles were yelling
until most of them tumbled off to sleep
in their mothers arms or on the piles
of paper strewn about the place.
Then came the explosion. There was
q short. sharp kissing sound. which
suppose it made in its descent, which
even in the basement we could hear
quite distinctly, and then came the
crash, worse than anything i have ever
heard. i think most of US down there
the air seemed full of flying pieces of
concrete. Fortunately 1 was just out
side two big iron doors at the time, so
] escaped the worst of it, but / think
1t must have been at that time my hand
was injured.

SM|LEAGE BOOKS
COT TO CAMPS
More Than $4,000 Were Sent to the
Various Army Camps During the
First Week. All Are Urged to DO
Their Part Towards Making it a
Million in Another Week

$4,000 Smileage Books We're sent
by the patriotic citizens of this coun-
try to the Liberty Boys in the thirty
two big training camps the first week
iof the Smileage Book Campaign and
the War Department by telegram
today urges every man and woman
staying at home to help make this
one million books before the end OF
this week.
The official opening of the Lib
erty Theatres built by the govern
ment in each national army camp will
start Monday.
At Camp Taylor, near Louisville,
KY, the Cincinnati Symphony oY-
chestra, conducted by Victor Herb
ert, will be the opening attraction. At
Camp Devens, Massachusetts, vaude-
vile from Keith's Circuit will get the
soldiers mind off military matters
for couple Of hours.
At Camp Sherman, in Ohio. mu-
sical extravaganza started action last
night, and three thousand soldiers
walked through the slush to enjoy the
show
1t is at these theatres that Smile
age Books will be used. The Smile
age Coupons will be exchanged for ad-
mission tickets. The coupons are
worth five cents apiece, and the cost
of admission varies from two coupons
to five. 1t is never more than five
which means that for the equivalent of
25 cents, the men in training camps
will see attractions that cost two
dollars outside.
The Smileage campaign, which will
place these books of coupons in ev-
cry town in the United States, is
being backed by members of the Ro-
tary Clubs in the larger cities, and by
the local chairman of the Lyceum and
Chautauqua committees in ten thou
sand towns. The people are splendid
ly united behind the movement, for
the Smileage System will provide the
means of financing the performances,
and, at the same time, enable the sol
der to see the shows free Of charge
A closer bond of friendship than that
formed over a laugh can not be made
The shows supply the laughs-civil-
ians supply the way to get in. Every
one knowing a soldier in National
Guard or National Army training
camp should send him a Smileage
Book.
