WOULD KEEP LOVE IN WORLD
Pathetic Plea Made by Austrian
Woman More Than Her English
Sister Could Refuse.

She was a little Austrian woman
and she was crossing the ocean on a
great hostile liner. Most of the other
women were the wives Of Englishmen
and they could not forget that her
country was at war with their land.
They ignored her, and she was left
much to herself. And yet
One morning as she was walking
up and down the deck in her solitary
way she passed the steamer chair Of
a middle-aged English woman who was
knitting at gray woolen sock, re-
lates writer in the Christian Herald.
And suddenly she paused in her walk
and held out both Of her hands.
"Oh," she cried, in very good Eng.
lish, twill you not let me knit few
rows on that sock?"
The English woman looked up. And
her face was cold and rather hard. II
think" she said, "that you would
scarcely want to knit on this socki
For 1t is going to On English colonel
my husband"
The little Austrian woman looked
at the colonel's lady. And there were
tears in her eyes. "Listen," she said
in a low, shaking voice. IT, myself,
have a son. He Is an officer in the
Austrian army. But If you knew my
son I do not think you would hate
him! If knew the colonel, your hus-
band, I do not think I would hate
him either. =" She paused for
a moment before she went on, and
then-"now that the world is torn by
war;" she said, 1--WE women must do
what we can to keep q little love in 1t
May I, perhaps, knit few
rows on the sockf"
Silently, but with tears in her own
eyes, the English woman handed over
the gray wool.

After the lentils and similar crops Of
the bean family have been gathered in

When harvesting, the men wear p

Duty That Lies Near,

If only 1t could be impressed upon
each and every one of US that we must
do our duty, whatever that duty may
be and wherever 1t may be, just as
well as we possibly can, what tre-
mendous thing it would be.
1t has been said that if the American
people would save just 10 per cent of
what they have formerly spent the war
would be won and victory would be
assured. The girl in the home can do
tremendous part in the winning of
this war-she can save in many ways,
she can work in many ways and she
does not have to have any special tai
ent for 1t either.
Character and industry, these are
the things that count, these are what
make life really worth the living.

a concession from the Argentine gov

In Rio Grande, in the territory of Tier

The Portland Oregonian sounds the
keynote of public sentiment when it
says, in summing up the threatened
break of Turkey with Germany:
"Nor would the enlightened opinion
of the civilized world welcome cessa-
tion of war with Turkey. much less
the enlistment of that country with the
allies. The existence of Turkey, and
of the group of small, weak states
which have broken away from Osmanli
rule is correctly regarded as the chief
cause of the war, as it has been of
most of the European wars during the
last century. The world wants to see
the end of Turkey as the breeding
place of wars. Consent of President
Wilson and Premier Lloyd George that
Turkey should retain Constantinople
and Thrace as their national home is
condemned by many for the Turks
have consistently acted as band of
murderous, oppressive, robbing intrud-
ers; they have not established their
right by amalgamation with the native
population or by giving the least ap-
proach to decent government; and they
are a bare majority of the population
of their capital They should be driven
from Europe back to their real ances-
tral home which is Anatola. There
would be greater joy at an American
declaration of war on Turkey than at
that country's secession from the Ger
manic league, for that might clear the
way to extinction of curse to the
world and to regeneration of some of
the worlds richest territory"

NO EMBARGO CONTEMPLATED
ON PERlsHABLE CROPS, SAYS
FLORIDA SENATOR
(New York Packer)


Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 5.-Rumors
have been current through the state
of Florida in particular and through
the Southeastern states in general
that embargoes would be, placed on
perishable fruits and vegetables
These rumors became so persistent in
their nature that growers organiza.
tions In the state, becoming dissatis-
fed with their effect on the produc-
tion of crops, took the matter up with
Senator Fletcher of Florida, who
made an investigation of the situa-
ton.
Senator Fletcher, in replying to an
inquiry from A. r. Doran, of Gaines
vile, said:
81 am pleased to inform you that
have discussed the matter with the
Chief of the Bureau of Car Service
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, and with the United States Food
Administrator, and with the Director
General Of Railroads, and am advised
by them that there is no reason why
any one should be unduly alarmed re-
garding the transportation Of any
food and feed products during the
coming season, and that every effort
should be put forward to increase pro-
duetion. These officials state it is
their desire and intention to cooper
ate in every manner possible with the
farmers and truckers of the country
in order that preferential attention
may be given to the marketing of all
such products.
"The unusual conditions which re-
Gently prevailed in the North and
Middle West, were due to a general
congestion of freight and express
shipments making it necessary for
the government to take over the op-
Grafton of the railroads, and to one of
the worst billiards in many years,
which combination Of circumstances
made it quite impossible for the
transportation companies to properly
handle such shipments However, l
am informed normal conditions will
soon be restored and that there should
be no further cause for complaint un-
less another similar condition arises,
which it is thought quite improbable"

| RETURN OF U. S. GAS
MASKS FROM BATTLE
FRONT EXPLAINED BY
SECRETARY BAKER

The Secretary of War authorizes
the following:
Various newspapers during the past
ten days have printed a statement
that 100000 gas masks, made In this
country and shipped to Gen. Pershing
have been returned to the United
States, "being absolutely worthless
for the purpose for which they were
intended" 1t is due the parents and
relatives of the men who will use gas
masks that the facts be known.
Our experiments in the United
States for devising gas mask super
ior to any previously used have been
constant and gratifying. Previous to
January /, 1918, only 10000 masks had
been shipped from this country to Eu'
rope. Before these masks were is
sued to our troops in France, very
marked improvements were perfected
here. and Gen. Pershing was cabled
that superior mask would soon be
manufactured. He was asked to re-
turn the mask then on hand, for train.
ing purposes here. Gen. Pershing
procured from British sources sufici-
ent masks to completely equip his
forces, pending the arrival of the new
ly devised model.
The perfected masks now being
shipped to Gen. Pershing have not
been commented on by him as yet,
ror has there been time for an actual
test of these masks in battle. How
ever, after exhaustive tests made in
this country, British experts have tes.
titled that the masks give better pro.
lection than any now being used by
the allied troops.
The returned masks, which are now
being used solely for training soldiers
in this country, will not Withstand the
heavy concentration used in actual
gas attacks in Europe, but they afford
perfect protection against the gas
clouds used in training in this coun-
try. Being of the same general type,
however, as those now being sent to
Europe, they serve to familiarize the
men with the use and operation of the
masks with which they will be provid.
ed on the firing line.

U. S. NAVY DEPARTMENT
NOT IN HABIT OF MAKING
EXHIBITS WILL PARTICIPATE
AT FLORIDA STATE FAIR
State Fair Body Receiving Numerous
Letters of CongratuIation

According to A. A. Ormsby, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture bureau of exhibits, the Navy De-
partment has always been averse to
making exhibits, and it is was ex-
tremely fortunate in the Florida
State Fair and Exposition securing
this great $4,000 display of our sea
fighters for exhibition at the State
Fair in Jacksonville from February
26 to March 8.
The big exhibit of the Navy De-
partment will be larger than at first
intended and the display Of the De-
partment of Agriculture has also
been enlarged, resulting in Prof. F.
Lamson-Scribnef requesting Presi-
dent w F. Coachman to give them
1000 square feet more Of space. In
view of the Florida State Fair and
exposition securing these two big
government exhibits, the officials
have been congratulated on all sides,
and it is believed that on this ac-
count, many hundreds of people will
attend the State Fair who otherwise
might have stayed at home.
