Chinese Servants.

Many Europeans and Americans Of
moderate means like to live In China,
because of the comfort, not to say
state, which a person Of income mod
crate by Western standards can main
tain in the Oldest of nations. Mer-
chants and even clerks live In fash
ion that might tax the resources of
a munition manufacturer to keep up
In America. Foreign residents agree
that the Chinese make the best do
nestle employees In the world If they
are allowed to go at the business In
their own ways. The chief servant in
the Chinese establishment is not the
butler, but the cook. This indispens-
able functionary draws a wage Of
about dollar and half week. Usu-
ally he Is good cook, and takes inf
mite pains in service, ornamenting the
various disheT until they resemble
Christmas packages. He does his own
marketing and invariably "rakes OFF,
commission from the merchants. If
his employer Is willing to sacrifice his
"face" sufficiently to try to market for
himself, he finds that food costs him
more than the cook pays for it, COM

THE FLAGS OF FIVE
NATIONS FLUTTER
OVER GRAVES OF DEAD HEROES
IN ARLINGToN-PRESIDENT
ATTENDS CEREMONIES.
The Marine Band Led the Procession,
Which Included Also Sons and
Daughters of Veterans.

Washington.-Over the graves Of
hundreds of heroes at Arlington waved
the silken flags of five great nations.
The ensigns of France, Great Britain,
Belgium and Italy, circling a great
United States flag, huttering in the
cool wind as if in salute to this ma
tion's Cead. President and Mrs. Will
son were present at the ceremonies.
in addition to many other figures prom
inent in the life Of the capital. Diplo-
mats representing the allied nations
attended the memorial exercises. AS
the flowers were scattered over the
graves of those sleeping soldiers who
have died in other years for America,
the thoughts of the throng at the ceme-
terry were waited overseas to the ma
tion's youth who now daily shed their
blood in France,
Before the exercises at Arlington,
veterans Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, of the Spanish-American War
and members of the Army and Navy
Union marched DOWN Pennsylvania
avenue, and went to the cemetery in
electric trains. The Marine Band led
the procession, which included also
sons and daughters of the veterans.
At the tomb of the unknown dead the
flags of the five natbns were set in the
green sod. Surrounding them all was
great wreath sent by President Will
son. Women's organizations laid their
tributes of flowers IN the tomb which
stands above the b'dies of 1000 men.
After these exercises Senator Curtis,
Of Kansas, the or;tor Of the day,
spoke in the Memorial Amphitheater.

NEVER GAVE UP PERFUMERY
Writer Asserts That Men Have Sim.
ply Changed the Variety Of the
Scents They Employed.

A prophet, a fanatic, or a practical
joker-which Of these three is the
man who now tells us that history,
like a machine gun, is repetitiOus, and
that, the cycle having been completed,
the world is about to enter upon an
other era conspicuous for its perfumed
fOps, ruffied dudes and staggering
dandIes?
1t might be we'll for this forecaster,
who calls up the ghosts of the seven
teenth century, to remember that so
far as perfumery is concerned men
have never given up its use; they
have simply used it in a different
form.
Ever since Sir Walter Raleigh blew
smoke rings at Queen Elizabeth, men
have been addicted to the use of per-
fumery in a form which is put up in
boxes instead of in bottles, and which
gives off rarefied fumes visible to the
naked eye. Tobacco, the boon COM
paniOn of many a man, occupies the
highest throne in the vegetable king
dom, and Is the friend of kings and
hoboes, bankers and blacksmiths,
saints and sinners.
Have you ever met Mr.. Nick O.
Teens wife, who sprays herself with
green stuff from a bottle, as If she
were bug about to be exterminated,
and then scolds because her husbands
hateful habit makes the house smell
SO smudgy, and says that the only
appropriate decoration for his coffin
when he dies will be smoke wreaths? /?

The new chief Of the British w. A

amusing story concerning an officer Of
that organization who had been de-
tailed to call at a certain house in or

there whG had expressed a desire to

A buxom, hearty old lady, who, 1t
afterward transpired, was the mother
Of the would-be recruit, answered the

cordially.
"COme in, my DEAR" she exclaimed
"Come in; you must be hot and tired
and ready for a cupful Of tea. Jim'l

"If you don't mind" faltered the
officer But it was hopeless to stem
the tide of the old lady's lOQuacious
hospitality. She ratified on insistent-

This was the visitors opportunity, and
she explained the purpose Of her call
The elder lady was evidently diSap-

KILL SISTERS OF MERCY
Germans Help Finn White Guards
To Slaughter Many
People.

London.-A Russian wireless dis
patch says the Central Committee
of Finnish Workmen has protested
against the terrorism Of Finland by
the White Guard, asserting that 10000
persons, the majority of them Social
Democrats, have been imprisoned and
brutally treated. OF these 10000 are
civilians. The wholesale slaughter Of
prisoners was begun by Finnish
troops, assisted by the Germans. In
one day, the dispatch continues, 1853
women prisoners were killed. Many
Sisters of Mercy of the Sacred Guard
were put to death without trial. Field
court-martials still are condemning
persons to death en- masse, although
tho civil war is over. The Finnish
proletrait calls out to- the civilized
world in the name of humanity to
stop this terrorism.

terms would place the matter before

Washington.-The American trans,

United States, was sunk by a German
submarine. The following announce
ment was made by Secretary Daniels
THE Navy Department received a
dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims stat.
ing that U. S. S. President Lincoln
was torpedoed at 1O:40 o'clock this
morning and sank an hour later.
THE vessel was returning from Eu-

been received.
Though details are lacking it is as
sumed from the fact that the trans
port was returning to the United
States that few if any troops were on
board. Meager reports so far received

registering 1902 tons, formerly was
of the Hamburg-American Line and
with all other German merchant ships
in American waters at the time, was

The vessel sank within an hour after
she was struck. Her position was not
disclosed in the brief dispatch an
nouncing her destruction. The Tusca-
mia, in the sinking Of which several
hundred American soldiers paid the su-
preme sacrifice, was a British trans
port, bound to France with American
soldiers on board and under convoy at
the time of British destroyers. From
the fact that the President Lincoln re-
mained afloat for an hour after being
torpedoed it is hoped that all on board
her had full opportunity to escape, pro-
vided none was injured by the explo.
| sion Of the torpedo. While originally
it was the practice not to convoy re-
| turning transports, since the sinking
Of the Antilles conveys generally have
been used. For that reason, too, the
hope heEe is that few, If any, Of the
| crew lost their lives.
