.KREISLER HANGS UP BOW
Noted Musician Cancels All Engage
! ments, Even Those For Charity.
From the n. Y. Sun. }


Having arrived at the conclusion
that for the immediate future ap-
pearances in the United States are
likely to cause him more embarrass-
ment than pleasure, Fritz kreisler,
the violinist, caused the announce
, ment to be made that for all public
purposes he has hung up his fiddle
and his bow and will not be heard
here again until the treaty of peace
has been signed.
Mr. Kreisler, in addition to being
great musical artist, is lieuten-
ant in the Austrian Army and bears
the scars of war. At the beginning
of international hostilities, and be-
fore this country was in, he served
with his regiment on the Austrian
front and was slightly wounded in
action.
While Mr.. Kreisler was GONZALES
cent his Government, deciding that
he was too valuable an asset to the
nation to be risked on the fighting
line, granted him a furlough and he
came to this country to keep series
of concert engagements.

Yiddish.

Yiddish Is a term used to deSigI

Yiddish Is term used to designate
a language which is spoken at the pres
ent moment by some millions Of peo-
pie. Strictly speaking, Yiddish is not
a language, nor dialect, but jargon
the jargon used by Judeo-German
communities dwelling chiefly in Ger
many and Russia, and by the immi-
grants coming from those countries to
the United States. Yiddish owes its
existence to the persecution to which
the Jews were subjected in Germany
at the time of the Reformation. Its es-
sential basis is high German, with an
adnixture of Hebraic and Slavic ele-
ments.

In loving remembrance of my
dear father, James M. Gould, who
departed this life five years ago to-

Five years have passed away;

That have happened since that day

But never from our hearts.

WOMEN HANDLE BIG SHELLS
ton of Their Physical
Fitness to Do So. ~

Liverpool Eng.-When women first
were put TO work in shell factories here
they handled only the light field-gun
shells. Later 1t became necessary for
them to turn out larger shells, and
doubts were raised as to whether the
women were strong enough to handle
them. A young mother settled the
question.
LET me heft the SHE'LL" she said,
picking one up from the floor. AYE"
she commented, "this shell is a mite
heavy. it's true, but it's not so heavy
as my baby"
There Is a shell factory in this dis
trict operated almost exclusively by
the daughters Of business and profess
sional men. Many are young girls
who had never done any kind of work
other than needle work and cooking
The heavy work of the establishment
is performed by the wives of sailors.

U-BoATS USE OIL CAM0UFLaGE
Submarine Commanders Try a New
Trick, but Twas Quickly
Found Out.

London. - Tricky German U-boat
commanders have conceived a new plan
designated to deceive crews of the al
lied submarine destroyers in the game
of hide and seek in European waters.
When a depth bomb is discharged and
does not cripple or destroy the Ger
man undersea boat as sometimes hap
pens, a quantity of oil is released by
some device of the submersible and
quickly rises to the waters surface.
The hope Of the German U-boat cap
tain is that the commander Of the de-
stroyer will see the oil, believe that the
submarine has been wrecked and drop
no more depth charges. Meantime, the
German is endeavoring to escape.
American and British commanders Of
destroyers and submarine chasers dis
covered the scheme of the Germans
some time ago and since then have
been dropping depth bombs in greater
numbers than previously, using the oil
as a guide to the general location of
their target. "Oil camoufiage" the
American and British navy men call
this latest German submarine trick.

AN ARMY. OF 5000, 900.
Cheaper TO Put the War Through 20
Prompt Conclusion Than Let il
Drag ON.

There are plenty OF doubters who
a few months ago said the United
States could not raise and supply the
army of 100000 men for which the
government is now calling. In so far
as they figured on shortage of ship
ping, their gloomy forecasts will not
be sustained. With the tremendous
increase our shipping production,
far exceeding sinkings by subma-
rines, We are going to have. plenty of
ships. 1t twill be no worse supplying
the men than to take care of them
by shipments by rail.
During the Civil war the men en-
gagged on both sides numbered $780,
600. At that time the United States
had less than a third the population
it has now, and about one twenty
fifth Of the present wealth. We
would have to put 100000 men
into the field to equal what our
fathers did.
The machinery of civilization of
course has grown more complex.
In Civil war times more men pro-
portionately worked at farming and
in small workshops. They probably
felt freer to leave at the call of the
country. Those were simpler times
People were accustomed to get along
with fewer things, and could deny
themselves with less effort.
Today in spite of all our great
army already called out, things run
along with far less disturbance than
would have been thought possible

ing. Our burdens may be trying
but they are not yet anything like
what those who have gone before us
have borne.
So let us not be satisfied with
small results 1t will be far cheaper
in lives and money to put this wal
through to a prompt conclusion
than let it drag on year after year.

The Cow Was Grateful, Anyway.

"A thrilling and unusual incident
in which Peter White, the former
noted hunter and fisherman, but who
the past several years has been con-
filming his energies to daring, truck
gardening, farming, etc, occurred at
his ranch near Spring Lake last
week, Pete missed one of his best
cows at milking time. Next morning
he went to a piece of woodland
bordering the Cedar, where he pas
lures his cows, and found bessie
tied fast to a sapling by the tail.
She had evidently been switching
flies and her tail caught around the
sapling in such way that she could
not pull loose. She had been fast
eighteen hours and was almost fam
ished, but with proper handling soon
recovered. Pete, alone and unaided,
made the rescue, drove the unfor-
tunate animal to the barn and ap-
piled restoratives. The grateful
creature, apparently much affected
by the attention gave fourteen gal
IONS of milk at the next milking,
with three and one-half inches or
cream. Pete says honesty is the
best Waverly Independent.

Must Lend or Be Taxed.

Another point we must remember,
taking this whole matter simply on
an economic basis: That the more of
these Liberty bonds we buy the less
taxes we will have to pay. The gov
eminent must have the money to keep
up the war and feed and clothe our
boys. This year II needs about S24, 000,-
100000. This amount it must get from
the people. And If the people won't
loan In bonds, 1t must take In taxes.
Hence, the more we loan the less we
will have to give.
It's all question of saving, saving,
saving-and never was there a better
time TO begin than now with the Lib
erty loan bonds as an attraction. The
man who has no ready money with
which to buy the bonds is the very
man that the government wants above
all other classes of men to loan 1t his
money; his money saved here with a
dollar and there with a quarter. 1t is
the finest kind Of money to give to our
country: the money that we save by
some act of self-denial. 1t isn't the
money that we have In the bank. that
we want to draw out and buy Liberty
bonds with; 1t Is the money that next
winter we can save, month by month.
That is really helping your boy "oyer
there" helping the government to
keep him warm and At, and, incidental
ly, helping yourself to lay by the most
valuable pieces of paper that you can
buy, put away, and all the time getting
a good interest on them.

BY EDWARD BOX.

Editor Of the Ladies' Home Journal
Each time new Liberty loan Is an
nounced we should hail it with pleas
ure. For years we have used the
phrase 'as good as government
bond" as indicating the safest invest
ment possible, but before the war it
, was impossible for the average in
yesto%to secure government bond
Periodically an issue was made, but it
was so quickly subscribed for by the
bankers that the small investor had
little chance. Now we all have a
chance, and chance at all that we
can afford to buy.
1t will, of course, be argued by some
when the fourth Liberty loan is an
nounced that they have not as yet
paid for the third loan bonds for which
they subscribed. That may be true
but that is no reason why we should
fail to subscribe again. Before the
fifth loan can be issued we will have
paid for the third loan bonds and be-
gun paying for the fourth loan bonds
that we subscribed for. Thus If we
go on we will have distinct part in
each loan, have each month put aside
a sum for the best investment on
earth, have acquired the steady habit
of saving, and when the last loan Is
announced and we shall have taken
part Of that and paid for 1t, we shall
find ourselves in possession Of col
lection of bonds that will make us
proud of the share we took in the war
and have a comfortable NEST egg" In
the bargain.
