All her territory is thrown open for
operations by the allies against Ger

the Americans. With them the i'm

because of that reason that the Amer
leans are always advancing.
''They have constructed somewhere
in France a depot Of enormous pro-

such depots In France and second Iarg-

Insurance for Deaths at Devens

The ws- risk insurance re0brd of Camp
Devens is considered little short of re-
markable by insurance experts. The can
Torment, with its more than 10000 men, is
practically one hundred per cent. insured.
With single exception, every man of
the more than $50 who died as the result
OF the recent epidemic, carried protection
for his family, and nearly every one was
insured to the limit OF $4,000. As result
the government is now paying the more
than 8, SOC, 600 OF liabilities due the fami-
lies OF these men.
Besides the monthly payment of $50,
which each receives. on the insurance,
there is an accompanying allotment of SIS
for each widow of a soldier, " hich is in
creased to S35 " here there is minor child,
and with proportionate increases where
there are several children. This allotment
continues throughout the life of the widow
provided she does not marry again, and
in the case Of the children until they be-
come of age. Most of the families of
soldiers who died there are now receiving
in excess of 500 monthly from the gov
eminent.

Turkey and Austria Hungary are
out of tine war, on terms that mean
virtually unconditional surrender.
Germany, the arch plotter of the I'M
holy alliance, now stands alone, fac
ing inevitable defeat. Terms of an
armistice have been offered her that,
if accepted, mean AFFECT surrencer,
leaving final peace terms to be die
tated by the victorious allies. Ger
many, if the military party still holds
the reins of government, may elect
10 fight on hopeless defensive war,
but it is not believed that she will.
The belief prevails thar the Kaiser
has already abdicated, and official
announcement OF the fact awaits
but the psychological moment. In
the meantime the allies have not
relaxed in their drive on the western
battle front, and the Huns are in re-
treat everywhere. Germany faces a
crisis on the battlefield no less than
in the peace negotiations.

Home Is Where the Boy Is In

eat"
what wouldn't give to be with him." she
said and we were silent, knowing her heart
But | thought of the Soldiers of Friendliness
who that very night would crawl out across No
Mans Land to take chocolate and hot coffee to
that boy.
Of the huts with their warm fires burning of
the great lecturers and preachers and actors and
motion pictures that are over there.
And | thought to myself; There is diff
ference between this and every other war. For
when the boys have marched away before, the
influence of their homes has stopped at the front
gate and could go no farther.
But in this war it follows the flag, across the
ocean, over the shell torn battle land, straight
up to the front line trenches.
Home is where the boy is in this war. From
every town and village the lines of helpfulness
run out.
And no boy leaves his home behind him:
step by step it travels with him, financed by the
folks behind him--a token of their love.

Three Men and the Vision They Saw

ness side by side and the Catholic has not dealt
with the Protestant; and the Catholic and the
Protestant have had no dealings with the Jew.
What is he TO me| each man has said.
''He is not of my faith: will avoid him.
So for thirty years they have dwet together,
strangers in a friendly world.
Then came the shadow of a fearful war.
And out of those three homes three boys went
forth alone. Three fathers waited heart-worn
for the letters from over there.
There are Soldiers of Friendiness over
here" the boys wrote home They bring us
chocolate, and motion pictures, and baseball,
and good lectures; and the memory OF mother
and of God
Help those friendly agencies when you have
the chance" each boy wrote home.
So it happened that the three fathers found
themselves working shoulder to shoulder in
great campaign for funds.
Not as Catholic and Protestant and a
Jew-but as good citizens united in a common
cause.
And as they worked they came to know each
other, and they were ashamed that for so many
years they had been strangers side by side.
Surely this is one of the compensations OF
war" they said, that in deeper love for
our BOYS we have learned a new respect for one
another"
So new spirit was born into that city. As
though in its heart it had discovered something
of the greater religion, whose God is Father;
and whose faith and creed are love.

JUDGE HOLLINGSWORTHS
COURT.

Judge Hollingsworth had a rooster
case before him one day last week.
Alb Taylor appeared complaining
that Lethe Clinkscales had taken his
fine Rhode Island Red Rooster. Lethe
was summoned to appear and did so
and claimed that the rooster was
hers, that she had raised it. Judge
Hollingsworth inquired into the case
and found that the two parties lived
on adjoining places with a strip of
woods between them. He found out
from the age of the rooster that he
wassSf sufficient discretion to know
when he was at home, so he wrote a
decree to this effect:
THAT said rooster be forthwith
takenstto the middle point in said
woods, ,Ghalf way from the home of
the defendant and the plaintiff, and
that there and then he be thrown
high in the air; that when he alights
he be allowed to select his own home,
and having done 50 each of the par
ties to this action in poultry be and
they are forever enjoined from TAX
ing any action, especially by the
light of the moon, towards changing
the domicile Of said rooster"
The parties were both satisfied
they said with the decree and Judge
Hollingsworth proceeded to see that
it was carried out. When the roos-
ter had taken the flight in the air
and came back to mother earth he
struck a bee-line for the home of
Alb Taylor, where he is now domicil-
ed.
