THE BABY CARRIAGE
philadelphia Telegraph

A protesting cry Is sure to follow
the announcement of the baby vehicle
manufacturers that there will be a
shortage of gocarts for the duration
of the war. One doesn't mind the cur
tailment of wheat, and the shrinkage
of wool, cotton and other cOmmodi-
ties; but when it comes to cutting out
the baby carriage the powers that be
are sorely twisting the sacrifcial
heart.
The baby carriage is not non-es-
sential. Everything considered, it is
just as important as the freight car
that carries munitions to the coast.
Without 1t we are confronted with Il
handicap that impedes the progress of
the rising generation The baby must
be toted, and the knitting bag and
suitcase fall far short of meeting
transportation requirements Neither
can the little one always be carried
pick-a-back by papa, nor permitted to
crawl on damp days.
Government work, of course, has
the priority. Steel and cushion stuffs
may be in urgent demand. But let us
make further sacrifices along other
lines in order that the baby carriage,
like Tennyson's brook, may go on for
ever.

KRUpp's TRIBUNAL
(Pearson's Weekly

The most secret and amazing Court
In the world, perhaps, Is to be found
at the villa Hugel In Essen.
Here In an underground apartment
the mansion tenanted by Bertha
Krupp, traitors employed at the great
Essen death factory are tried for the
crime OF treachery. Death Is their in
evitable portion.
The cannon queen herself Is the
Judge. Pitllessly, mercilessly, with
out vestige OF emotion, she passes
the dread sentence. And she sits
statuesque and unmoved as the
shrieks for mercy from the doomed
wretch who has sold the carefully
guarded secrets Of Essen pierce the
artificial atmosphere of the chamber.
More than one hundred thousand
people are employed at Krupp's. Hun
dreds of nationalities are represent
ed. And although 1t Is the most care
fully guarded arsenal in the world,
there are occasions when, tempted by
money, workmen disclose some cher
ished secret to the agent of foreign
power. Such thing Is inevitable in
mixed collection of humans like the
one to be found at Krupp's.
There are hundreds of detectives
ing to and fro unsupported. All sorts
of traps are set. The loyalty of the
workers is subjected to the most
searching tests. Even wives are in
duced to test the fidelity of their hus-
bands. And when a Judas is discov-
cred, he or she Is arraigned before
this amazing Court.

theory that the strange epidemic of

has swept Europe attacked only

of lack of proper food, was exploded
when the disease threatened to take
hold among officers and men of this
American destroyer base.
Aside from American soldiers, the
American sailors are probably the
best fed persons in Europe, but the
disease attacked several score of
them here and for a week or SO dis
rupted crew assignments. 1t has

will in twice. the time and conse-
quently it required several days for
recuperation.
Victims suffer differently when
the disease first begins. Some sud
denly become dizzy and even faint.
The most prevalent symptoms, how
ever, are first a cough, then terrific
pains in the back, followed by fever
and a chill now and then.
Physicians say it is dangerous to
attempt to continue activities, as
pneumonia may develop and they
prescribe bed for four to seven days,
with ordinary remedies for combat
ting fever.
