THE CASUALTY LISTS AGAIN
Seattle P.I)

The latest regulation for the pup lication of casualty lists is the equal in expediency and propriety of the previous rules, which common sense has reversed. On the face Of it it IS 9 small matter, designed charit- ably, but, like many charitable pro uosals, it sacrifices the innocent for the sake of soothing the guilty.
 MT. Baker now proposes to cease designating the causes of death in the ranks of the men in France eX- cept such as are the result Of mtli- tury action. Heretofore accidents, suicides, murders and military exc cutions were segregated, but un- der the new order they are to be Jumped together, on the theory that the relatives and friends of suicides, etc, are to be spared the humil- iation attendant upon such publica- ton. All these deaths will be list eG, under the heading Accidents and Other Causes"
 No doubt the impulse behind this change is a most kindly one, but evidently the greater harm was not considered. The war department probably forgot that the soldier who G4es by accident, under this new rule, dies, as far as the public at home is concerned, under the sus- picion of suicide or by military exc cutiOn. White the suicide may gain some reSpectability by being class -G, with the accidental death, the accidental death goes before the put lie as a possible suicide or worse. And it would seem more to the point that the reputatiOns of the boys who give their lives just as truly, by mishap, as if they fell in the trenches, should be kept free from the blemLSh or BuSplclOn, than that the relatives of suicides and military offenders should be spared humiliation.
 The name of 10 boy who dies hoL' orably in Fance should be put ip any category where the least Gou0t will be cast on his honor, and to link the boy who died by the explo- sion of practice hand grenade wiht him who was executed, after a military court martial is most un- just. It Is well to draw the veil of obscurity across the fate of the dishonOrable man; that is kindly act with which no one can reason ably find fault, but the reputa- ton of the honorable soldier is still morepreCiOus.

How KaHirs sMokd.

The natives of South Africa are in. Teterate smokers, but some of them in- dulge in the habit in distinctly queer fashion. The natives of Harrismith, in the Orange River Colony, smoke in the following novel manner: A pipe" is made by thrusting two sticks into the ground so as to meet at an angle; when they are withdrawn two tunnels are left behind. A hollow reed Is stuck in one hole and the tobacco placed in the other and lighted Before beginning operations the native fills his mouth with water, drawing in the smoke with a gurgling sound and blowing out the water and smoke through seconl reed. It seems mighty poor way of smoking to white man, says writer in the Wide World Magazine. but the Kafirs are very fond of 1t.

Now Does America
Challenge Skill Of
Teuton Toy Makers

The much vaunted supremacy OF
the German toy makers OF Fremberg
Is being challenged, as Is the Teuton
military machine, by soldiers OF Uncle
Sam.
In a tent on the parade ground OF
historic old Fort Wayne, near Detroit,
convalescent soldiers are speeding
along the weary hours OF recovering
their health by carving out OF rough
wood ferocious looking lions, cats
and dogs; airships and . variety Of
other objects that win the hearts Of
children at Christmas time.
Miniature reproductions OF Noah's
Ark seem to be most popular mong
the soldier toy makers. II is said. how
ever, that the designers are making
many improvements in the appearance
Of the food survivors rcfuge--so
many in fact that some OF the prod
ucts Of the ark building department
will have to be placed among the
stock OF more modern water craft.
Another toy the eonvalescent soldiers
are turning out Is war poster puzzle.
Many of the attractive posters used
for various war fund campaigns are
pasted on strips OF wood and sawed
into small pieces of odd shapes. Furni.

duccd, and one soldier 10 making Z
reputation for himself at the fort by

The toys are to be placed on sale In

under the supervision of the local
Junior league. The proceeds will be
turned over to the toy-makers as CON-
pcnsation for their work.
