VICTIM OF GERMAN "KULTUR'
irwin Q. Cobb Writes Of Work of Beast
Of Berlin, az He Saw u In
London Hospital.

In q London hospital I saw a little
manned In an air raid. / am not going
to dwell on the state Of this child.
When think Of her have not the
words to express the feelings that I
have. But one Of her hands was gone
at the wrist and the other hand was
badly shattered; 80 she was just q
wan little brutally abbreviated frag-
ment of humanity, q living fraction,
most grieVously afiicted.
Her wounds had ceased to pain her,
the dead nurse told me before we en-
tered, and for the rest of the time she
was a good patient, one OF the best In
the ward.
She was lying, when / saw 1ler, with
her head propped upon a pillow that
was no whittier than her face was, and
there was a pltiful wrath Of a smile
on her poor little pinched common
place face, ana to her breast, with the
bandaged stump OF one arm and with
her remaining hand that was swathed
in q clump Of wrapping, she cuddled
up q painted china doll which some
body had brought to her, and she was
singing to 1t.
The sight, take Il, would have been
very gracious In the eyes Of his impe-
rial majesty OF Prussia-except, Of
course, that the little girl still lived /;
that naturally would be drawback to
his complete enjoyment Of the spec
tacle.--Trvin g. Cobb In the Saturday
Evening Post.

 '~Tne shooters, in squads, usually of five, take their places 16 or more yards in the rear of the traps. and shoot in rotation.
 Your skilled trapshooter is fellow with steel nerves, quick and unerring judgment, and unfaltering action. In the majority of cases these positive, manly qualities were as latent in the trapshooter as they are. in the average man. until the devotee of the trap and gun took up this most fascinating of recreations.
 Few sports are as scientific as trap shooting. The rapid calculation of lead elevation, angle, etc, the nice decision and instant action quicken the eye and hand and develop qualities which make for success in the affairs of life. Work at the traps drives away brain flag, for the. reason that it requires in- tense concentration on a pleasurable pursuit Thus. the brain worker finds real relaxation in trapshooting, with out the physical exhaustion which in many games more than offsets the good effects of the mental diversion"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET EXTREMELY DULL.
Sales Were the Lowest Recorded
 Since August, 1916.

New York, April 5.-The stock mar ket was at a virtual standstill during the greater part of todays' session, exceeding all previous days of an ab- normally dull week in it's unparalleled apathy. Total sales amounted to 145,- GOO shares. the lowest recorded since August, 1916.
 Resumption of the Germar drive in France accounted for t,te further cessation of operations, even the trad ing element taking no interest in the course of prices.
 Losses of points among investment shares and as much as two points in specialties resulted from sheer indif- ference or inertia. The market seemed so thoroughly. liquidated that no pre- text for pressure existed.
 The decision of the interstate com merce commission to inquire into pe- troleum freight rates and institute 8 physAlcal valuation of various tele- graph and cable companies caused scarcely a ripple among the shares of the properties most concerned. Other domestic developments were along more constructive lines, general trade advfces offering further encour- agement and bank ctearings holding well up to recent high levels. More time funds were available at the long prevailing per cent. rate. Liberty issues again furnished an overwhelming quota to the days deal i ings in bonds at slight fractional re- sessions. International issues were variable, French municipals harden ing. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated $5,25o, 900.

New York. April 5.--Althcugh there are not as many baseball games scheduled for decision by the eastern college and university teams this sea- son as in normal years, there will be close to 300 contests played during the next three months, weather per hitting. About ninety per cent. of the institutions which have supported varsity hines in past years will be represented upon the diamond but the usual lists of twenty to thirty games have been cut, in many cases. to about half this number.
 The leading universities of the sec ton will put combinations in the field and in some instances outdoor prac- t;ce and few games already have been played. Reports from the vari- ous college centers, however, indicate that there Is a dearth of the usual large squads of candidates and the play is hardly expected to reach the high standard that has marked this department of intercollegiate sport competition in recent seasons.
 In many cases the regular three game series between old time rivals have been reduced to two and no pro- vision made for third contest should the teams break even in the two matches scheduled. & Wednesdays and Saturdays are ths favorite days for staging these college
 games, although almost every day c1 the week, except Sunday. finds a few scheduled. The greatest number O
 matches are planned for May ant
 very few of the college teams vii continue play after the first week O. June. .

through the watch. Superstition had not left the seas in those days, and the men of the watch deck were alarmed
 At seven bells the fog lifted little and two men-of-war were seen not more than a mile away. After the United States ensign was run up at the main peak of the Hero. one of the war ships sent a boat alongside with an ln- vitation from Commander Belling- hausen, of the Russian navy, for the captain of the American 5loop to come on board his ship.
 Captain Palmer went just as he was dressed-in sea boots and sou'wester. The scene was one of impressive con- trasts when Captain Palmer stepped into the commanders, luxurious cabin.
 The polished, accomplished Russian comander insisted on sitting down to luncheon with the rugged young Yankee in sea boots, a meal tthat Captain Palmer found elaborate after the fare on the Hero.
 The Russian officer had been two years on a voyage of discovery. He examined keenly the chart and logbooll of the Hero and questioned Captain Palmer at length concerning the land he had found.
 Finally the commander arose, placed his hand upon the young captains s head, and said:-'I name the land you have discovered Palmer Land in your honor; but what will my august master
 say, and what will he think of my cruising for two years in search Of
 land that has been discovered by a l boy, in a sloop onlysa little larger than 1 the launch of my frigate?" | Islands named Peter. and Alexander are still so designated on charts of 1 that part of. the Antarctic; But the land found by the boy captain of i Stonington appears on every chart of that part of the world as Palmer
