NEWS NOTES.

War Camp Community Service,
one of our great war relief organiza-
tions, has received from q Denver
man the following prayer for the
welfare of our boys "over there:"
"Our Father which art in Heaven,
bless and inspire our armies in the
field, our ships upon the sea. Watch
over the sons of America fighting for
Liberty. Strengthen and hearten
them in the hour of pain and peril.
Make us who love them do our part
loyalty; keep us united in our will
to bring to earth a reign of right
and freedom. Anon"
Pushing toward the town of Ghent,
the French captured the town of
Thielt. The entire Belgian coast is
now cleared of the enemy. Ostend
and Zeebrugge, from which Germany
launched many q submarine attack,
now are in the hands of the Belgians,
while the enemy continues to retire
to the outer defenses of Antwerp. 1t
is believed the Germans are seeking
safety i'm shorter and more COM
pact line, which will probably ex-
tend from Antwerp to Namur, thence
to Sedan or Metz.
1t has been learned that thousands
of men in our army cannot speak or
read English. English classes have
been established by the library war
service Of the American Library AS
sociation in nearly ell of the big
training camps. There is big de-
mand for books, and even First
Readers" are on the list of books
asked for. They ere, of course, sup
piled.
American soldiers are not salts
fed to return home knowing no more
than when they enlisted in Dur great
national army. The library war
service of the American Library AS
sociation found it necessary to buy
nearly 100000 books on mechanical,
technical and scientific subjects to
meet the demand of these boys for
informative reading matter.
The Pan-Germans are crousod over
the demands of tho Poles for inde-
pendence. The demands of Warsaw
are branded rs rank ingratitude. OPP
position also to the pacific part of
the German population is volubly ex-
pressed by members of the Father
land party.
The Military Deficiency Bill, car
rying appropriations of more than
$ 5000, 600, 900 to push the war, was
passed by the House without dis
senting vote. Few changes were
made in the draft of the measure as
reported by the Appropriations Com
mittee.
representatives of the Czecho-
Slovak nation issued declaration of
independence in Paris, renouncing
allegiance to the Hapsburg dynasty,
proclaiming a republic and outlining
the main features of a constitution.
A recess from October 29 to No
vember IL is planned by the leaders
IN Congress to enable members of
both parties to go home for the cleo
ion. The War Revenue Bill will not
be presented until after the recess.

What the Y. M. c. A. Does

Roy Durstine, an American news
paper man, with tho fighting forces
in France, tells story of French
port town that will comfort the
heart of every mother who has a son
lover there"
In the heart of French port town,
where traffic is tnickcst, there stood
bar room. 1t was just at the point
where a sailors or soldiers thirst
mught be greatest as he trudged up
the hill. 1t did such a rafting good
business that the military authori-
ties kept an eye on it, and because
the military police had tho habit of
dropping in there frequently, the
sailors and soldiers grew uncomfort-
able and quit patronizing it. Then
the madame, who managed the busi-
ness, found it unprofitcblc and had
to sell it.
1t was bought by merchant who
sold the fixtures to Arthur s. Taylor,
another former newspaper man of
Philadelphia, now Y. M. G. A..
man. Taylor told the boys they
could continue to have o bar without
the military police bothering them,
SO he exchanged the liquors in the
stock for the kind of soft drinks
found at an American soda fountain.
The fighting men came back and
stayed. They found chocolate milk,
ice cream soda, nut sundae and
strawberry pop instead of gin fizz,
whiskey straight and brandy as in
the days when madame ran the bar
room. And they found moro. They
found pretty American girls in the
Y. M. C. A. uniforms waiting at the
little tables and operating Victrolas
with new tunes, fresh from back
home.
1t was another instance where the
Y. M. G. A. saved an ugly situation
and saved many boys from spending
their spare time in harmful way.
The boys showed their appreciation
and the place is throngcd twice as
much now cs in the old days when
intoxicants were sold there.

Increase from sheep in two
years ........... S4OO.76
Mrs. Harris owns only fourteen
acres of land, on which is located the
house, small barn, garden, orchard
end truck patch. She has four acres
in cotton, leaving seven acres on
which her sheep Craze. In addition
to the sheep, she has on this pasture
one COW, two sows, sixteen pigs and
seven shoats. In the winter the
sheep are dry fed with the exception
of stock beets and turnips grown in
the truck pasture.
: Mrs. Harris docs not claim to be
an expert in the sheep business, nor
does she have fancy flock of ewes
but her experience has shown clearly
that small number of sheep given
shelter and attention is profitable
even in the hands of an inexperi-
enced sheep raiser. 1t shows, too,
that sheep can be successfully kept
in small boundary.
Under the imperative needs of our
country for more wool in this crisis,
one would think that the farmer
with the life and comfort of his own
boy at stake would hardly ask if
sheep are profitable, but Mrs. Harris
has satisfactorily answered this
question for those who wish to know.

How Sheep Pay.

In order that the beginner in the
sheep industry may have some idea Of
what to expect under ordinary con-
ditions, l will give the experience OF
Mrs. Mary Harris, of Obion County,
Tennessee. Until two years ago Mrs.
Harris had had no experience in
sheep husbandry. In July, 1915, she
bought twelve common southern
ewes, paying for them $50. At the
same time she placed with them a
plain grade ram costing $40. Dur
ing the following winter one of these
ewes died, and another lost. a set OF
twin lambs. In June, 1917, Mrs.
Harris sold her entire lamb crop for
S120, her wool for SIS and her
grade ram for $11.25. In July,
1917, she bought q better ram for
$40. She now has eleven ewes and
one ram. Last winter she saved from
these eleven ewes eleven lambs and
sold them in June of this year at Is
cents per pound. They brought $3.50.
The wool at 70 cents pound brought
her $34.50. She has at present the
same eleven ewes at which she
started in business, and much bet
ter ram. She can cash her ewes at
$12 each and her ram at $25. Her
books when balanced look something
like this:
June, 1915, paid for IL ewes. $ 5000
June, 1916, paid for l ram. 1000

sian government by the Allied powers,

sian government by the Allied powers,
the Bolshevik newspaper "Izvestia"
says:
Recognition Of the Soviet power by
the Allies will help Immediately to es
tablish business contact by Russia with
America, England and France relative
to the equipment of the Red army, the
financing of the country, coordination
of action and settlement of questions
of international policy. All that would
be a direct blow at German imperialism
and German orientation in Russia. Not
for nothing do German official circles
regard seriously the expected recogni-
tion of the Soviet government by the
Allies"
NJ Noulens, French Ambassador to
Russia, in an interview recently said
that Germany was trying to gain eco
nomic control of all Russia and that
If the Allies, in response to that
menace. were constrained to take mill
tary action, it would be friendly assist
ance without thought of conquest or
interference in the internal affairs of
Russia. Foreign Minister Tchitcherin,
in a statement in reply, declared that
such assistance was not desired by the
Russian masses, who would regard it
as an armed invasion Nj. Tchitcherin
added:
"Real friends Of the Russian people
can assume but one task--to help the
Russian people in its hard work of in
ternal regeneration on an entirely new
basis of domination by the laboring
masses hemselves--that is, to render
all possible assistance to support the
Soviet power in its immeasurably diff
cult work of reorganizing the whole

Belgian War Exhibit
Will Open To-day
Proceeds Will Be Used for
Wounded Soldiers and
Babies

The Belgian War Exhibition, the pro-
ceeds of which are for the relief of
wounded Belgian soldiers and for Bel
gian babies, opens to-day at the Amer
ican Art Galleries. 6 West Twenty-third
Street. The exhibition is in charge of
Major Leon Osterreith, of the Belgian
army, who has two veterans of the army
with him to explain the various ex-
hibits.
A private exhibition was held yester-
day for a number of city officials and
other guests. They declared afterward
that the exhibit YVES not only the most
complete of it's kind they had ever seen,
but that it was certain to arouse
greater interest than ever in the story
Of Belgium.
One part is given over to Belgium in
the days before the war--samples of
her industries and photographs and
paintings illustrating the condition Of
the country before the invasion by Ger
many. The remainder is devoted to ex-
hlbits which show German methods of
ravishing the land and Of intimidating
the people.
One feature expected to rouse great
interest is collection of drawings by
artists of the entire world, save Ger
many, illustrating the looting of Bel
gum. Visitors commented on the fact
that the horror of the stories depicted
made the drawings strikingly alike, de-
spite the various nationalitieS and tenn
peramentS represented

Ex-Khedive, Policeman,
Got French War Secrets
Bonnet Rouge Trial Reveals That Official French Reports
Sarrails Army Saonca Were Sent to Abbas
tilmi; Hearing of Callaux Opens

PARIS, May 3.--That Abbas Hilmi,
former Khedive of Egypt and devoted
ly pro-German, obtained in 1916 off,
cial French reports regarding condi-
tions in General Sarrails army at
Salonica, was brought out. to-day in
the sessions of the trial of the direc-
tors of the "Bonnet Rouge" the de-
funct Socialist and Germanophile
newspaper.
Testimony was also given to show
that NJ. Duval. one of the directors on
trial, had become unrcservedly de-
voted to the interests of Marx, the
Mannheim banker, and had become
Marks man.
A preliminary hearing in the case
of Joseph Caillaux, former Premier,
who is charged with treason in con-
nection with the operations of Bolo
Pacha, was also held this morning.
Most of to-day's session in the Bon
net Rouge" trial was taken up with the
consideration Of trips to Switzerland
by M. Vercasson, one of the accused
men, in behalf of M. Duval. nj. Ger
main, an expert accountant, testified
that Vercasson brought from Switzer-
land 47500O francs (S95,0O0), which he
gave to Duval. On being cross-ex-
examined Germain said that Vercas
sons operations appeared to be regu-
lar and in good faith, although he per-
sonaly benefited to the extent of 25,
900 francs from his work.
Loan Offered by Duval
According to the testimony, Duval
offered to lend .Vercasson 10000
francs, taking French national defence
bonds as security. When Vercasson
presented the bonds at a bank he was
Informed that no loan could be made
on such collateral because Alexander
+. Ribot, then President of the Coun-
Gil, had forbidden such transactions.
Captain Paul Denoe, recently Sc
verely wounded at the front and wear
ing the Cross Of the Legion of Honor
and the War Cross with five stars and
two palms, was another witness. He was
formerly administrator of the San
Stefano Casino Company, and said that
he resigned from that post because

ciety and desired to entirely domi-
nate it.

Poles Take Over
Choir,1, Granted to
Ukrainia in Treaty

LONDON, May "a dispatch from
Kiev to Copenhagen, as forwarded in
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch, says
that the Cholm district, which under
the Brest-Litovsk treaty was given to
the Ukraine, has been taken over COM
pletely by the Poles. Polish function
aries have been appointed and Polish
courts have been established.
The Cholm district was included in
Russian Poland and large part of it's
Inhabitants are Poles. When the
Ukrainians declared their independence
of Russia they laid claim to this terri
tory, and under the arrangement made
at Brest-Litovsk it was included in the
Ukraine. This caused great dissatis-
faction in the Polish state set up by
the Germans and Austrians, and for a
time threatened to bring on crisis
ia its relations with the Central
Powers.
