Remember.

When the war is over, no excuse win
go. l.,...
Either you were in it or you were
not.
Either you shouldered your gun,
served in the trenches, or the Young
Mems Christian association, the Red
Cross or in some place where the door
was opened, or else you did nothing.
If you could not serve, you could
send your boys with a Godspeed, as
they marched out to the front. To
hold them back stamped them as slack
erS.
Either you strained your resources
to buy Liberty bonds or you forgot
your obligation to those who fought
and died for your flag.
Disqualification for active service is
no justification for forgetting the boys
behind the guns who sacrificed all
thought of gain and were willing to
sacrifice their lives at their country's
call.-Leslie's.

NO D0UBTING HIS MEANING
tained Full Information Even to
the Most Unintellioent.

This weeks story from the front:
A certain company sergeant major
was not popular with his men. They
accused him Of having cold feet.
One day the company went into a
rest camp 20 miles behind the firing
line, where it was an impossibility any
shells could reach them. The ground,
however, was very waterlogged, and a
fatigue party was detailed to dig a
drainage trench.
Presently sergeant happened to
pass that way.
''What are you digging there? he
shouted to the corporal N charge Of
the job.
A grimy face, from which the sweat
was pouring, popped up from the
trench. 1t belonged to one Of the SER
geant majors most persistent and re-
lentless adversaries.
"Diggin' a communication trench
from the sergeants' mess to the SER
geant majors dugout," he shouted, in a
voice well within hearing Of the mess
tent, at the entrance to which the N.
G. o. in question was standing.-Pear-

POSTAL SYSTEM IN DISARRAY
German Government at Its Wits End
to Stop Thievery From the
Goods in Transit.

Extraordinary steps have been taken
by the German government to call a
halt to the thieves within the postal
system. 1t was claimed that out of
ten parcels sent three would disap-
pear. Packages to soldiers at the
front containing food, delicacies and
clothing would disappear more fire.
quently than any other shipments. All
appeals to the patriotic spirit Of the
thieves were of no avail. The per-
centage of thefts increased steadily.
Finally the government was compelled
to take drastic and systematic meas
ures. The military branch was called
in and stations of control manned by
non-commissioned officers and soldiers
were planted at principal railroad
points in the empire. The employ
ment Of mere youths is blamed for
the deterioration of the postal service.
Practically all the employees of milf
tary age had to join the army and
their places were filed by boys and
girls. Besides, the scarcity Of food
tempts many to steal.

Morionn Type of Stars.

The youngest stars of which we
have knowledge are the "Orion" type
Of stars. The constellation Of Orion
is composed mainly Of them, as well
as parts Of Taurus, the Pleiades, and
parts Of Perseus. In color, they are
much like the Sirius type, blush white,
and brilliant. but a spectroscope at
once detects the difference between
them. Stars like Sirius and Vega
are surrounded by hydrogen gas, but
the Orion stars have no hydrogen, and
are made of helium and nebula. They
often have great volumes Of fine nehu-
la dust about them, showing that they
are still in the process Of condensing
out Of the primitive star matter.

In Tucson a number of Sy-

to raise funds for the Syrian
Red Cross Association, which
has had a great deal of relief
work to perform among the des-
titute and suffering in their
native land, which has been sub
jected to frightful ravages at
the hands of their Turkish over
lords; and they were quite sue
cessful in raising a goodly sum
Of money to go to that lauda-
BILE purpose. One of the ladies
sent to Mr.. A. K. Saleeby of No

what was being done. Mr.. Sa-
leeby headed at once a subscrip-
ton list, and took it around
among his compatriots in the

scriptions. Then he presented
the paper to Mayor Harrison
and a number of other Ameri-
cans, receiving liberal subscrip-
lions among them, also.

HANDLESS PLAYER
 LOSES ID COCHRAN
Sutton, Though Beaten, Makes Fine Showing at 18.2 Balkline
Oh, Man!

New York, Jan. 15.-After George Sutton, the handless but very handy hallkine player, had given Welker Cochran, a two listed expert, a hard battle at Maurice Dalys last night, the final score being 300 to 257 in favor of Cochran, the opinion was eX- pressed by the onlookers that Sutton is one of the most remarkable billiard ists in the world.
 Considering the handicap under which Sutton labors his performances are astonishing, and the delft manner in which he handles a cue is amazing. Sutton gave the IOWan a stiff battle in the afternoon game, which Cochran won bq 300 to 198, but in the night game it looked in the early innings as though the youth were about to suffer a defeat at his favorite game of 18.2.
 Sutton got the worries to rolling we'll in his second session, and by artistic work gathered 113 points before he fell down on a hard draw. But the handless player won right along and gathered 43 in his third and 2S in his fourth, at which time he led Coch- ran by 197 to 1858.
 After this Sutton fell off slightly, and as Cochran collected a fine cluster of 85 in his tenth inning he took the lead and and held it to the clost. Slut ton said that as soon as he gets his stroke he will do even better work.

IS KUNZ MISBEHAVING
Reports From So. NorWaIk State That Champions Faithful Trainer Has Quit Him in Disgust.

South Norwalk, Jan. 15.-Quite a stir was caused in local boxing circles last night when it became generally known that Joe Cans, colored trainer for Battling Kunz, had quit the state champion flat. The action of Cans, while not unexpected, proved a big shock to local fans, as Cans had play ed an important part in the training activities of kunz in all of his impor- tant bouts.
 A 1oval report of the breach fol- lows:
 '"The partins > ccurred last Saturday night, when Kunz refused to listen to Cans sensible and fatherly advice to take better care of himself. Some how or other Kunz does not realize that the bout with Chic Brown. of New Haven. is only a few days dis 'tant. For some unknown reason he has been careless and not so particu- lar about what he does. This is no way for champions to behave, and, if what his friends say is true, Kunz will fall to the mat next Monday be- fore the sixth round.
 Cans worked out with the state champion all last week, but the Nor~ walker did not round into form the
 
 of the champion and his uncaring manner disgusted the colored trainer. Friday night Cans quit Kunz in dis gust because the champion refused to observe the training rules he had set down. Kunz at that time was looking on the basketball game be- tween Norwalk and the Blue Ribbons of Bridgeport.
 Dancing followed the game, which ended at about 10:30. kunz was among those who stayed in the hall after the game was played. Cans happened to come in about 1 1 o'clock ing himself dancing. Cans, after the dance mum Der, approached Kunz and informed him in a fatherly way that it was time for all Well-trained champs to be in bed instead of being out dancing. Kunz remonstrated and continued his dancing
 The colored gentleman, however, refused to take that decision as final, and took Kunz's hat and coat, but even then the Battler refused to leave, saying he was going to escort a friend home. Argument was of no use, so Cans, realizing the futility of his floor of the armory and left, inform ing Kunz at the same time that he was through with him and that he had better look around for another trainer to prepare him for the big test with Chic Brown at New Haven next Monday night"

 In the semi-final bout George PrOtO of this city won on a foul over Danny Murphy of Boston. Murphy fouled Proto shortly after the start of the fourth round. Following a lively ex- change in the center of the ring Mur phy struck Proto low and the latter dropped to the floor in pain. He had to be carried to his dressing room.

SHEA RESTS LAIN
Elm City Boxer Earns Decision Over Brooklyn Battler After Lightning 12-ROund Battle.

New Haven, Jan. 15-Tommy Shea, the local featherweight, scored an inn pressive victory over Battling Lahn of Brooklyn in a fast 12 round bout staged under the direction of the Quinnipiac A. c. at Music hall last night. Shea fought one of the best battles of his career, displaying un- limited responsiveness, plenty of speed and q tantalizing left hand which bothered Lahn from start to finish. At the close of the twelfth round Ref cree George Monroe pointed to Shea in token of victory and the cheering which greeted the decision easily indicated that the local bril- liant had regained his alleged lost prestige. Lahn put up stubborn fight all the way but proved no match for his raw-boned opponent.
 In the early rounds Shea con- fined his attack to long range which enabled him to pepper Lahn with lightning left hand blows when and where he chose. Shea occasionally shot over a right hand punch, and be- tween the two, the Brooklyn boy had a busy time trying, to get out of harms way Lahn had no satisfactory defensive for Shea's lightning jabs and chose to fight at close quarters. At his game Lahn also had his hands full and made no impression upon his crafty opponent.
 Lahn did not appear to be in tho
