German Many May Sail Out to Battle

TRANSPORTS would be necessary. the
troops required would be merely a
force Of light. fast. well-armed craft,
sufficiently formidable, with the ex.
ercise of the strategic element OF
surprise, to rush the defense force
ba rrier so as to permit passage into
the Channel Of p swarm of submar-
ines and mine layers. With luck n
latter might assemble beforehand at
Belgian ports and, once through II
straits could exercise a powerful in
fluence for a time upon cross-Chan-
mel communications by transports
with reinforcements and supplies for
French ports.
1T must be assumed against these
undertakings or any combination OF
them that every precaution has been
taken. j..
"A cardinal point is that If any OF
these plans were tried it would nee
essitate coming out from its shelter
of the high seas fleet. with all its at
tendant auxiliaries. in an endeavor

lied force under Admiral Beatty's
command. Then the British and Am
erican seamen would have their most
ardent wishes fulfilled

GUNNER IN ANCIENT ATTIRE.
Called from Amateur Theatricals to
Defend Against Air Raid.

London, March 10 (By Mail}-
During one Of the recent air raids
the largest anti-aircraft gun in the
London district was worked by a gun
layer armed cap-a-pie in medieval
plate armor, a breeeh-worker clad in
chain mail and a sightsetter attired
in silk tights and a velvet coat.
The reason for this motley attire
was that the alarm came while the
gun crew were taking part in some
amateur theatricals in their barracks
and they rushed cfe the stage ii their
medieval attire, straight to their dut-
les on he gun platform.

the railroad passing thru Hazebrouck

SO important are the points won by
the Germans that the British must be
expected to counter-attack at once in

which attempted to Withstand the

Dreadful Couch cur.d

A severe cold is often followed by
a rough cough, for which Chamber

pecially valuable. Mrs. F. w. Olsen,

years ago my little boy Jean caught

is to double the number by the use of

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.

DR.. Livingston Farrand, director of
the American commission for the pre-
vention of tuberculosis in France,
says that 10000 men were rejected in
the first draft in America on account
of tuberculosis. This is the first au-
thoritavive statement issued on this
point dealing with totals, and where
as the number has been known to be
large for some time, the figures are
An additional 10000, says
DR.. Farrand, were returned home
from the environments, making a total
of $4,000 men found tubercular in the
first draft alone. DR.. Farrand's state
ment follows:
While the war has thus effectually
disclosed conditions which existed be-
fore in America, in Europe the war
has substantially increased the tuber-
culosis problem. These INDIRECT re
suits of the war are clearly evident
in France and will doubtless become
increasingly evident in America as
the war advances.
An Appeal to America.
"If l may make an appeal to Amer
lea on the eve Ct sailing for France,
it is this: That the people of Ameri-
ca throw themselves into the winning

the same zeal and efficiency with
which h 7 ave thrown themselves

a way to lessen its ravages if not ac-

"He found out, too, that not all the
rat trouble is at the front. A large
part of it is at the base ports, where
the rats get into the storehouses, and
cause damage to the food and cloth

Greenville, s. Can ingenious ma
chine for harvesting clover seed has
been perfected by J. L. Canada, a pi-
oneer clover raiser near Greenville.
Mr.. Canada devised an exhaust fan
mounted on wagon driven by a

connected with the fan is lowered over
the cloverheads and the current of air
lifts the seeds out and deposits them
into a suitable receptacle. The ma
chine is said to work perfectly.

TROUBLES IN THE FIVE CENT
STORE.


One of the principal five and ten
cent store managers in Washington
warns that sit is about time to tie the
crepe on TIE five cent piece of our
forefathcrs, since you can no longer
buy a good five cent cigar, package
Of cigarettes, 3 full grown orange, or
q roll Of life-saver candies with it,
while the number of articles sold for
the coin IN the stores with the red
fronts are becoming fewer in num-
ber." The same authority declares
that the fvc-cent piece has shrivelled
until it actually represents about one
half the purchasing power that it had
in the days when Woolworth, Kress,
McRory. ct al, discovered their recipes
for getting rich.
Clerks wages in the five and ten
cent stores have advanced from fifty
to one hundred per cent. The differ
ent elements surrounding the kind Of
merchandising are of good deal of
interest at the present time, when the
druggist HIS nothing left on his
shelves that sells for five cents, and
when the grocer refuses to cut off
enough cheese, to bait mousetrap for
less than ten cent coin. The nickel
is struggling hard to maintain its an
cient responsibility in the commercial
world, but as it lost out in the jitney
experiment so is it losing out in all
lines Of trade and industry. The Wool
worth stores are adhering to their
time-honored policy of handling only
five and ten cent articles of merchan-
disc, but in doing this cloth off the
bolt that formerly sold by the yard is
now displayed at "ten cents for a
quarter yard" Writing paper in bulk
and in packages remains in the five
cent zone, hut shrinkage in quantity
and deterioration in quality forebodes
that the commodity will move into
the ten cent class. The Kress and
McRory establishments are deserving
FIVE and ten cent standards, and in
Vulnerable articles have been advanc-
ed by them to fifteen, twenty and
twenty-five cents, and even higher.
Tinware and earthenware, for in
stance, that has permanently parted
company with the Woolworth stores
since it can no longer be sold within
their price limits, remains on the
shelves and counters of the "inde-
pendents," but at the advanced fig
ureS.
The cake 6fSsoap on the fve-cent
counter is getting so small that one
will be compelled to look for it with
a spy glass before long; five cent tow
els have moved up in the world and
nothing less than ten-cent piece ac-
complishes their removal from a store
Of the five-and-teners. The fve-cent
package of needles is no more, and
the girl at the counter tells you that
imported goods like them that comes
over here from England and France
can't be sold no more for less than
ten cents, and you're mighty lucky to
get 'em so cheap"
The conditions as pictured at Wash
ington are found to obtain in all parts
of the country; and they are signif-
cant in showing the constantly dimin-
ishing power of the -honored
nickel.
