HORSE IS APT uNGUIsT
Quick to Respond to Either French or
American Command.

American Command.
The American horse is an apt lin
guist.
Sold overseas to the French from
America during the first three years Of
the war, he had to learn French to I'M
derstand his new masters. Then sold
back to Americans for service with his
own army after the United States en-
tered the war, he had to learn English,
or rather American, all over9 again.
Hundreds of these American horses
were bought from the French when
the first forces from the United States
landed. The drivers were constantly
In trouble, and at first couldn't under
stand the reason.
II had a team out during a review"
said one driver, "and couldn't make
'em bulge. l yelled. 'git-up' and every
thing else at 'em. and they just sort OF
looked aroun' like they thought / was
foolish. Then l remembered that l
heard a frog yell ALLEY at his horses,
I yelled ALLEY and away we went"
The horses now are a good deal like
the soldier. They'll respond to either
French or English commands.

SOLDIERS OF DEATH REFUSE To .
LET THE ENEMY take THEIR DEAD
Each Slav With the italian Army Has Sworn to Garry Off to the
italian Lines the Body Of a ~compatriot Killed in Action
As Subjects Of Austrian Emperor Death Is Only
Thing in Store for Those Captured.

In the last days. during a reconnois-
sance, a Bohemian fell close to the
enemy lines. Drawing a hot fire, the
explorers hurried to carry him off,
fearing that in a night sortie the Aus
TRANS might get the body.
These soldiers of death"sknow that
If an operation fails Of success they
must kill themselves. To the igno-
minious death inflicted by the enemy
they prefer suicide. Whether through
death by the enemy or through their
own hands, they have ~consecrated their
lives to the distant fatherland, from
which they have come to fight in the
greatest cradle of all liberty and all
ideals-Italy.
Eliminate Weak and Unfit.
Rome, the ancient lighthouse of CIV
ility and of liberty, has substituted
these new companions In arms for
those of Russia. These warriors for
the freedom of their country have
found in the ranks of our combat
ants fraternity and sturdy faith. This
fraternity, more than common ideals
for the redemption of their respective
countries. is cemented by the knowl-
edge and vision of the real difficulties
and the resolution and flrmness of pur-
pose of the new combatants. From
their own ranks on a spontaneous vote
they have eliminated all about whose
military vigOr or enthusiasm there
could be any doubt, so that the re-
cruits represent the flower of the sol
diery of the oppressed nationalities.
Drawn from the same country, speak
ing the same tongue, In the daily i'll
timacy of their e military life, they
have subjected each other to voluntary
but inlexible tests. The results are
confided only to their officers.
Titus does not please me. He would
not make a good corporal. We do not
want him." they say. Thus, out Of the
ancient military system of Austria
spring elements of criticism which ex-
clude the weak and unfit. The officers
must heed these verdicts, which. like
all collective judgments, arise from a
full consensus of the judges.
The examination of the political
opinion is not less exactlng for be-
ing carried out by fellow soldiers. A
Czech recruit who spoke his mother
tongue well was challenged by his COM
patriots. "He speaks u language
well, but his heart Is not Czech" they
said. 1t was learned that during pro-
tracted business transactions In VI
emma he had lost the fierceness and in
trepidity of the Bohemian character
through daily contact with the Aus
TRAN authorities.
Elect Own Officers.
This control has been fraught with
excellent results. Those whoehave sur
vived the tests of the assembled judges
have furnished the best war material
and proved themselves dependable In
military and moral affairs.
The officers are also elected by the
soldiers, who trust their leaders with
blind faith, and give them the most
rigid obedience and discipline. Such
discipline the new soldiers of liberty
are taught by their remembrance of
imperial oppression to hold essential
to the triumph of their cause.

GOLF LINKS AS A LAW COURT
Some important Cases Have Been Set
tied Far From the Recognized
Halls of Justice.

The late Sir Thomas Bucknill, when
vacation judge. once granted an in
junction on the golf links while actual
ly playing a round, relates Answers.
On another occasion he granted an
INDUCTION while out shooting. On the
case coming into court counsel said:
"Your lordship may recall the case"
'Indeed / do" replied the judge, 'be-
cause l nearly killed a pheasant, a bar
rister and a solicitor with one shot"
Quite lately n judge tried a motor
accident case on the very spot on
which it had occurred, and a few years
ago a case concerning ancient lights"
was decided under a tree in a heavy
storm.
Not long since a chancery judge
heard an application in the waiting
rooms of a railway station.
A woman charged with stealing was
tried by a magistrate in the streets of
Hoole, and it will be remembered that
the. late lord chief justice emulated
Sir Thomas Bucknill by deciding a
question In the Crippen case on the
golf links.
And, doubtless, other judges would
welcome the opportunity to do their
work far from the stuffy courts.

TAKE CHANCES ON SUCCESS
Crews of American Whaling Ships
Work on a Basis Of Cooperation,
and Profits Are Divided.

The business principles of American
whaling are often mentioned as an ex-
cellent example of industrial co-opera-
ton. A ship is stocked and equipped
by the owners, and the profits OF the
cruise are distributed in the ratio of
two-thirds to the capital invested and
one-third to labor. No member of the
crew receives wages or a guarantee of
any sort, but to each is allotted a GER
tain share, termed the "lay." Of the
net results. In general, the captains
lay ranges from a fifteenth to an
eighth, according to his whaling rec
ord. The mate and three lower Off
GERS, the four boat-steerers or har-
pooners, the cooper, steward, cook,
carpenter, seamen and green hands re-
ceive proportionate shares, and so
down to the cabin boy, whose lay is in
the neighborhood of one two-hun-
dredth, called the '1ong lay" Thus
the profit of each individual depends
upon the success of the cruise. Ships
have sometimes failed to pay for their
fitting out; on the other hand, the On
ward of New Bedford once returned
with a catch worth at the prevailing
prices $685. 00, of which the captains
lay was $4,000, and that of the least
member of the crew about $1,000

Warned by Electric Sirens.

In England many of the large nan
ufacturing establishments employing
numerous hands make use of electric
sirens for warning employees in the
event of air raids. The sirens are de-
signed for use In connection with in
terror calling or alarm systems and
to supersede bells, gongs and other
signaling methods. They are capable
of operation In regular lighting cir
cults, and require little amperage.
These sirens are instantly responsive
to either button or self-operating mech
anism, and may be wired in series or
parallel as desired. Code signaling can
be readily obtained with these horns,
which, owing to their distinctive tone,
command instant attention.-Scientihc

Counting Up to "Boomfit."

A reader VINO was interested In the
'Indian counting that the Companion
told about on this page some months
ago, has found in the London Chroni-
Gle something about a similar sort Of
counting that was long in use in a
retired part of England. The Chron-
icle says:
The elder generation of farmers in
one of our northern dales used a
strange set of numerals, especially
when counting sheep. They made a
gap In the wall just wide enough to
admit one sheep. at a time, and as the
sheep went through they counted
them, making a notch In a stick at
every fifteen.
Phonetically the numerals sound
like 'Yann, tame, tether, neither, pip,
sax, sane, caterer, wheeler, dick,
yann-er-dick, tane-er-dick, tether-er-
dick, mether-er-dick, boomft."
"Boomft" was fifteen; when they
reached 1t they made a notch in the
stick and began the strange chant all
over again.-Youth's Companion.

WHY


WASHINGTON. December 31-The
Republican Publicity Association.
through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne. Jr., today gave out the fol
lowing statement at its Washington
headquarters:
Some administration newspapers
assert that this is no time for poll
tics, and that this is no time to talk
about the tariff
IF this is no time for politics, why
has the Democratic National Commit
tee recently recognized on the most
systematic campaign basis ever at
tempted by any party committee in
the United States? Why is hat COM
mittee issuing partisan publicity mat
ter and maintaining an extensive pub
licity bureau? If this is no time for
politics. why do we have a solidly
Democratic cabinet, why are the
Democratic campaign contributors
given the most powerful positions in
N war organization and why was
the chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee chosen to go as d
representative of this country to the
war conference in Europe?
IF this is no time to talk tariff,
why are we maintaining a tariff COM
mission, why was that commission
placed in the control of free traders.
and why is the commission now con-
Quoting a tariff inquiry? Shall the
business men of America keep silent
while an official organization of free
traders talk tariff? Shall men who
exercise alert foresight in their pri-
vate business adopt a 'watchful wait
ing policy in public affairs? Shall
we postpone preparedness for peace
until peace has come? Shall men be
told that they are nervous and hys-
terical' when they urge preparedness
for commerce just as they were when
they urged preparedness for war?
Shall men who believe in America
First leave tariff discussion and
tariff legislation to that political
party which, in 1913, legislated for
Europe and Asia first?
Shall Republicans cease to talk
politics while all the power of the
administration is being used to place
Democrats in Office? Let the Demo-
cratic press answer"

An official letter from Fred L.
White of Reno, Nevada director OF
savings, says, among other things:
When the detailed history of this war
is written, the success of the United
States will have been due in immense
measure to its editors and their news
papers. They have voluntarily with
held military information; they have
worked dogge lily for every good cause:
they have given their time and space
and money without stint; in the fur
therance of the governments propa-
ganda and purposes. Especially is
this true of the newspapers of Ne
vada. We want you to know that this
is appreciated; and that if there is at
any time a way that the State Council
of Defense of tie Nevada representa-
tives of the national departments can
be of service to you, they are at your
command" Well. the Reno postmas-
ter is some little patter-on-the-back-
low, isn't he?
