MEET SUFFERING WITH SMILE
sFave Men in France Set Example
Which We In, Safety at Home
: Might Well Follow,

They love to laugh, those boys in
France. Of course, they reserve the
right to grumble, too. "GrousinR, .
Is what Tommy calls it, and he
grouses to his hearts content when
there's nothing serious the matter.
But when it comes to real things,
like suffering and dying, he meets
them with a smile.
There are more smiles in the hos
pitfalls of France and of England
than-well, than in an appalling lot
of our happy homes" here in Amer
lca. There is more brave smiling in
those pitiful lines of the walking
wounded, on their way to the dress
ing station, than in any Easter
"church parade" that ever strolled
up Fifth avenue.
[ wish I could make every man
and every woman in the United
States see those smiles. They are
rather difficult, rather grotesque, for
the faces are stiff with mud and
blood and are drawn with pain. But
there they are! The suffering lips,
which make no murmur, can some
how manage to smile.
If they can do that, it seems to
me that we ought to be able to pack
up our troubles in our old kit bag;
we ought to manage to hide them
away in our hearts somewhere, and
to smile, too.-Charles W. White

Acting upon them the trawlers stationed themselves at the four corners of wet quadrangle while the destroyer bept her guns ready to talk to Fritz should he ap- pear above the surface.

Far.Reaching Reforms.

The late Lord Kitchener first wen'
to Egypt in 1882, when he voiun-
teered for the army then being or
ganized by Sir Evelyn Wood. he
soon became q valued chief Of the In
telligence department, as result OF
his deep insight into the native char
acter. During this time he took par
in the Gordon relief expedition
which failed for lack Of proper trans
portation. In 1886 he was appointea
governor of the Red Sea territories
and began a series Of raids OH os'
man Digna, the Dervish leader. On
one of these his force was fanked ano
forced to retreat. and he was wound
ed, his jaw being broken BY bullet
England had heard Of Kitchener by
this time, and when he returned to
recuperate he was received with
honors and made aide-de-camp to
Queen Victoria. His health returned
Kitchener went back to Egypt, where
he was appointed commander Of the
Egyptian army on the resignation OF
Sir Francis Grenfell. He Immediately
took charge Of the army with an iron
hand, and built it up from a fella-
heen rabble, without stomach, heart
or backbone" to a splendid hshtins
force, with which he crushed Osman
Digna at Omlurman in 1898. The

APPEAL TO THE SOUTH
McAdoo Asks Farmers to Raise lts
Own Food.

The south Is asked to help win the
war by raising its own foodstuf1s and
eliminating the necessity OF trans
uorting food from other sections OF
the county, said Director General
McAdoo Friday in an appeal to the
people to farmers. Without reduc-
ing cotton production, farmers ought
to produce more milk, butter. eggs
poultry, fruit and vegetables. he sug-
gested.
"One of the great tasks confronting
the American people," said Mr.. Nc
Adoo, "is that Of improving and max
ing thoroughly efficient their railroad
transportation system. The people oi
the south, and especially the farmers
are in the habit of using the trans
portation system Of the country to
degree that is highly uneconomic and
unnecessary. for the purpose Of trans
porting food and feed from other
parts Of United States. because they
do not produce enough foodstuffs and
feedstuffs for themselves.
II wish to urge upon the people OF
the south and especially and the farm
ers to do everything possible during
the next year to relieve the strain on
the railroad agencies OF the nation By
producing their own food and feed
crops. The south can, II 1t will. feed
itself and produce the rations both OF
roughage and grain for its own I've
stock.
The best farmers Of the south rec
ognize the fact that 1t pays as a mat
ter Of good farming to produce on
each farm the hay and grain for the
livestock, all the garden products
fruit and poultry products which are
needed by the farm. and II possible. a
surplus Of all these for sale In the I'm :
mediate vicinity.
1T Is not desired nor do I suggest
that the growing Of cotton should be
discouraged. Every southern farmer
should raise all the cotton that he can
vel cultivate. since cotton constitutes
the best cash crop Of most Of the
south, but he should grow the hay
and grain to feed his draft animals.
He should produce his own milk. but
ter, eggs, poultry. fruit and vegetables,
and every city and town Of the south
be to the largest possible extent sup
piled with these commodities by the
farmers of the south. It Is not only
good agricultural practice. but 1t be-
comes In this exigency q patriotic
duty.
IF the south can feed itself It will
Laease from unnecessary service In
{aGe south a vast number Of feright
ears and engines and win help win

LONDON TO coNsTANTINoPLE.
British Airship Makes a Bombing TrIl
of 1000 Miles.

Interesting details Of the recently an
nounccd flight of British battle air.
plane from London to Constantinople,
where It bombed the battleship Goe-
ben, the German headquarters and the
Turkish war office. were given at a
banquet in London the other day by
IIandley Page, who described 1t as the
longest distance military attack on re-
cord. The flight of 1000 miles was
made without mishap.
The feat was accomplished by BIZ
plane with two 270 horse power en-
gines. carrying two pilots, an engin-
eer and two mechanics.
Loading up at Hendon," said Mr..
Page. "the machine. which with
spares and luggage was over six tons
in weight. proceeded to Paris. Lyons.
and. to avoid the Alps, continued by
way of Marseilles. From Marseilles
the journey was by way Of Spezzia to
Pisa, Rome. Naples and Otranto, the
last point over a friendly country. The
next and perhaps the most difficult
stage of the journey, was over the
Albaian Alps to Saloniki trip OF
$50 miles across mountains varying
from 5000 to 10000 feet, with no
suitable place for landing In case Of
need. In covering this distance only
two stops were made, the first at
Paris and the second at Pisa.
From Saloniki the adventurous
party few to their base. overhauled
the machine and prepared for long
distance bombing expedition to Con-
lstantinople, q distance Of 320 miles.
"On their attacking trip they set
forth with 16 bombs and on arriving
at the seat Of Marmora throttled
down from 1000 to 1900 feet. the
Golden Horn and other points being
clearly in view.
After a short survey Of the lights
Of Constantinople, and to make sure
of their detectives. they came down
to 500 feet and dropped a salvo of
four bombs, hoping to hit the Goeben
which was anchored just beneath
them. Unfortunately they missed the
ship. but managed to hit one or two
submarines that were lying alongside
her.
turning on their track, they made
another attempt on the Goeben, and
this time in spite OF the attentions OF
"a number of Turkish and German
anti aircraft guns. managed to land
four bombs on the battleship. Then
they few to a ship called the General.
which was the headquarters Of the
German staff and dropped two bombs
ON her. Next they made their way to
the Turkish war office and dropped
two more bombs on that building, the
Turkish official report Of the incident
stating that the war office was not
destroyed
.After half an hours bombing on
Constantinople c they turned round and
made for their base. One OF their
engines was disabled and no fewer
than 2s bullet holes were made In
their machine. The Journey to Con-
stantinople and back, q distance OF
$40 miles. occupied seven hours. They

Followed in the United States.
Framing Of legislation contemplat-
ing drastic changes in the government,

Of an American war council similar
to those of Great Britain and France
and a director Of munitions. was be-
gun last Wednesday by the senate
military committee.
Two bills--one proposing the wal
council Of five members. including
the secretaries Of war and navy. and
three civilians. appointed by the
president, and second centralized
munitions control in Il director OF
munitionS-wcrc prepared by sub
committee consisting Of Chairman
Chamberlain and Senators Hitchcock
and Wadsworth. The munitions di-
rector measure, was presented to the
fuel committee Friday and immedi-
atcly introduced In the senate.
Chairman Chamberlain announced
that the committee virtually had
agreed upon the two bills in lieu OF
his measure for separate department
of munitions with a new cabinet
member.
The plan Of the committee for the
war council Is TO have II under the
president but wholly independent OF
the cabinet.
The bill TO establish a director OF
munitions Is modelled after the Brit
ish law. The committee proposes
that the director should be subordi-
nate only to the war council and to
the president and not the cabinet
taking over many supply functions OF
the war. navy, shipbuilding and 9TH
er branches. The director would have
control of all war supplies. the pro-
duction. purchase. transportation and
distribution.
The title of director of munitions
was definitely decided upon by the
committee. Today the committee re-
ceived from Director Clifford of the

Virtually the only important point
in the legislation left undetermined is

Senator Chamberlain said the plan
for five members. including the wal
and navy department heads. prob
ably would be adopted, but other
committee members favor having
only three civilian members and eX.
