the two men who can rightfully
claim to have knocked out Benny

sharpshooter.

moves, could hit like a middIe-
weight and did.

only ones who ever succeeded in
stopping the present king OF the
light-weights.

Bout Declared OF,

Philadelphia, Jan. 6.-The proposed
bout between Dave Astey, the unde-
feated amateur bantam-weight cham
pion, and Johnny Ertle, of st. Paul,
which was scheduled to take place at
New Orleans on February 4, has been
declared off. Astey was to substitute
for Pete Kid Herman against Ertle,
but owing to the fact that the pro-
moters Of the bout did not want to
give Joe Jacobs, Dawes manager, the
500 guarantee he required, and as
Ertle wanted to box at catchweights,
Jacobs declined to accept the match
under these conditions.

THE MOTHER FAITH.

Little mother, life's adventure calls your
boy away,
Yet he will return to you on some bri ght-
er day;
Dry your tears and cease to sigh, keep
your mother smile,
Brave and strong he will come back in
little while.
Little mother, heed them not-they who
preach despair
You shall have your boy again, brave
and Oh, so fair
Life has need of him today, but with
victory won
Safely life shall bring to you oncetagain
your son.
Little mother keep the faith; not to
death he goes,
Share with him the Joy of worth that
your soldier knows.
He is giving to the Flag all that man can
give
And if you believe he will, surely he will
live
Little mother, through the night of his
absence long
Never cease to think of him brave and
well and strong,
You shall know his kiss again, you shall
see his smile,
For your boy shall come to you in little
while.

GERMAN CRUELTY m TIiE PAST.

s'Every village they have passed
through has been the victim of what is
only organized pillage. Every city has
been practically sacked, ransacked on
system; its citizens plundered, its civil
officials terrorized, imprisoned, outraged
or killed. The civil populations have
been, contrary to the usage OF modern
warfare, forced to serve the invading
armies, brutally put to death, reduced to
wholesale starvation and desoiatlon.
Vast tracts of the richest and most in
dustriOus districts of Europe have been
deliberately stripped and plunged into
famine, solely in order that the invaders
might make war cheaply. Irregular
troops, contrary to all the practice OF
war, have been Systematically murdered,
and civil populations Unfortunately
massacred, solely to spread terror. A
regular system of ingenious terrorism
has been directed against civilians, as
horrible as anything in the history OF
civil OF religious wars. Large and popu-
lous cities have been, not once, but 29,
80, 40 times, bombarded and burnt, and
the women and children in them wanton-
ly slaughtered, with the sole object of in
fllctlng suffering. All this has been done
not In license or passion, but by the cal
culating ferocity of scientific soldiers"
The above was not written, though it
might have been, yesterday, last week,
last month, or last year. 1t appeared in
the English Fortnighly Review February,
1871, shortly before the surrender of
Paris. Frederick Harrison, writer, is
still alive Its statements were true
then, are true now. Julius Caesar in his
Commentaries narrates events which
show that even before the time of Christ
the Germans demonstrated the possession
OF all of the rudiments of their modern
"kultur." 1t is no new thing; and hun
dreds of thousands of men will have died
in vain in this war if this sinister thing is
not absolutely and utterly exterminated
forever by the forces of civilization ar
rayed against it.

Had Been THROUGH He'll.

Louis Raemaekers, the famous
Dutch cartoonist, now in this coun-
try, whom the London Times has
called the only great genius brought
out by the war;" was unheard of be-
fore the war began. On August 1,
1914 he was living quietly with his
family, contentedly painting the tulip
fields, waterways, cattle and windmills
of his native Holland. Four days later
he drew the first cartoon, "Christen-
dom After Twenty Centuries" of
series that was to reveal him as a
champion of civilization and make his
name household word in every coun-
try. Raemaekers personally investi-
gated the Belgian horror, and though
a hundred of his early cartoons bear
witness to the burning impression
made upon his mind, he has only once
brought himself to speak publicly of
this experience. 1t was at dinner
given the artist at the Savage club,
London, and pointing to the portraits
OF Peary, Shot, Nansen and Shackle-
ton. Raemaekers said: Il, too, have
been an explorer. gentlemen. l have
explored hell, and it was terror I'M
speakable" Raemaekers is In his for
ty-eighth year.

KEPT MOVING
EnqIish Major Has Machine Gun
Crew on the Jump.
About as Little Uncertainty In His
Orders as There Are Polite Phrases
in the Language He Employed
in Issuing Them.

make my way through the thick
brush at Camp Upton to a machine
gun range, guided by the intermittent
staccato chatter of Colt and hoping
that I'm not by any chance wandering
on to the private reserve Of any busy
'bnllets. William Slavens McNutt
writes in Golfers.
; l come out of the woods on the rear
of the gun position. Near big camp
fire a dozen or more American officers
are grouped around two machine guns
listening to the instructions of an Eng
fish ma or. The English officer is a
short, spare. peppery veteran with a
raspy voice that he can use for the
sane purpose that a mule skinner uses
q blacksnake.
"Rurr-wuff!" he shouts. That's as
near as | can get to it Theoretically.
Two captains leap to their places by
the machine gun. The one who sights
and operates the piece throws himself
fiat on his back with head Graded on
the knees of the man feeding. There
is some slight delay and the English
major breaks into song.
Come come! Carry on! What are
we waiting for? You should have
killed a hundred by now. What is it?
What is it? My word! Not so slow.
We're not having dinner. you know;
we're killing Boches. What the blink
ety-blank's wrong now? Come, come J!
Garry on! Carry on"
The gun speaks jarringly. One side
of the barrel spits stream of yellow
cartridge cases over the breast of the
operator holding the trigger. Three
hundred yards distant the blade of bull
lets slices the ground before the tar
get and throws up a little line of dust.
The major orders a fifty yard ad-
vance. The American officers dis
mount the piece. go forward at the
double-quick and set it up once more.
The operator pulls the trigger. Moth
ing happens. He fuses and tugs. Still
no result. The English major Gains
himself and heaves a deep sigh. He
looks at the gun crew like a man with
no insurance viewing a total loss. "Oh,
my eye!" he groans sadly. "How dead
you'd have been by now! All right,
leave off. leave off! Never mind"
He points to the man who carried
the ammunition and who is standing
behind the gun curiously watching the
efforts of the crew to make it shoot.
"Next time don't stand up behind the
gun. You stick up there like dummy
in a shop window. A body would
think you were an advertisement for
something. You're not trying to sell
the gun to the Boches, you know.
Standing there giving away the gun
position! Next time find cover twenty
PAGES to the right or left and try to
act like bit of mud Yes"

Weekly War Story.

From one of the training camps full
Of Ohio soldiers comes this absolutely
veracious story:
The company cook went to the COM
handing officer and respectfully asked
when the soldiers were to be supplied
with gas masks. The officer answered
that he did not know. A week later,
the cook again expressed his desire for
a gas mask. This time. the officer hap
pened to have a sample Of the latest
contrivance of this nature, which will
probably be used by our soldiers in the
trenches. He showed it to the cook,
who Immediately asked to borrow it.
Inquiry revealed that the cooks idea
was to put the mask on before he
tackled big job of peeling onions.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrb, which is
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces OF the
system
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

AVIATION FATALITIES.

Records of the War Department show
that from the beginning of training in
June, 1917, to February %, 1918, the ia
talities at military aviation fields in this
country have been 81; 10 officers and 29
cadets killed in training flights, and II
men killed in unauthorized flights and
ground accidents.
Since the training began in the United
States, student aviators have flown con-
siderably more than 1905 miles,. Hun
dreds of hitherto inexperienced men have
been learning to fly Their early flights
are under the guidance of instructors,
and prior to these flights two or more
months are spent in preliminary ground
work. There comes a time, however,
when every student aviator must take
his machine up alone, and every precau-
ton has been taken to reduce the num-
Der of accidents and safeguard the avia-
tor in his solo flights.
