place within 24 hours of the time tho sentence is imposed"
 Notwithstanding the fact that the shipyard workers in Hamburg in large numbers have returned to their dutie S tine latest reports are to the effect that they were again to have been called out Saturday The lack of in formation from German sources, how ever, leaves impossible of verificatior whether these men again threw down their tools.
 The social unrest now has spread to Triest, Austria's principal seaport on the Adriatic sea. Here also strike among the shipyard and other workers was declared, the main point of insis- tence by the men, as in Germany, being for peace and better food. On being referred to the premier's recent speech, in which Austria's desire for cessa- ! ton of hostilities was emphasized, the strikers resumed work.
 In Finland, the white guard, which iS DdchlHS tiIe HSW governments IS Stltl reported to be making progress in putting down the dissatisfaction among the reyolutionaries headed by the red guard, although in Helsingfors serious situation continues to exist. Here, the red guard, which controls the capital, aided by Russians, is re- ported to be carrying out a reign of terror, murdering and plundering.
 Apparently the peace conference at Erest-Litovsk has not as yet again ap- preached the point at which the Rus sians and the Teutonic allies were re- ported to have reached an impasse at the previous session. Last accounts of the deliberations show that the del- egates were engaged mainly in dis cussion of the status of the Ukrainia n and Finnish representatives, concern ing whose right to participation in the pourparlours some doubt exists among the Russians and the spokes- men of the central powers.

The Germans apparently in earnest, began a 'strafing' of the American sector in Lorraine Saturday. Late in lhe afternoon they let down a barrage on the American line on front of sev- eral kilometers, the heaviest in many days, but at last accounts. General Pershing's men were answering them shot for shot
 The casualties among the Americans were slight when the report was sent ard their marksmanship had been so effective that several German dugouts had been made untenable.
 Under the strong repressive meas ures of the military authorities in Ger many, the general strikes continue to diminish in importance and according to several official advices from Berlin, tho trouble is expected to cease in the early week.
 Already, probably spurred by the threats of the military authorities of drastic action against them, many werlmen throughout the empire, and especially in the provinces of Bran- denburg, in which Berlin is situated, again have returned to their duties, and even the recalcitrant ones are ex- pected, beginning Monday, to start to work without further loss of time.
 In Brandenburg the order of the mill itary commander telling the dissatis- fled workmen that they must resume their duties, was terse and sharp, and evidently was intended to convey to the strikers the intimation that the government at the present. moment re- quires the full efforts of workers for the further prosecution of the war.

When Lauder Heard of Sons Death


 Harry Lauder tells in the American Magazine about the war and what it has done to him. He says: Tt was on New Years day of 1916 that the news came to us of Johns death at the front. I was lying in bed at my home in London. resting for my performance in the theatre that aft ernoon. when all at once I heard ter rible cry from the front of the house was stunned for moment and then my head began to swim because of the awful fear that clutched at my heart.
 No. no, nor cried to myself, prop ping myself up in bed. God couldn't be so cruel. He simply couldn't take my boy
 But when saw my wife's face. I doorway, her agony reflected in her eyes, holding out the telegram to me. Somehow, she crossed to my bed and sobbing her heart out as she gave me the printed message, she rested her head against mine and cried out her woe and her pain, while with eyes blinded with tears and a heart sud- denly struck dumb, I read the fateful telegram which informed us that Capt. John Lauder of the Argyle Sutherland Highlanders had been killed in action on December 2S, 1915.
 "'What are we going to do now 9 cried to my wife, after a moment. What are we going to do now?'
 For days I burned my brain with sickening, despairing thoughts. and asked of what use, indeed, were ali my labors, aRs my toll during all these years. At times. the raging agony at the realization of my loss was almost too much. At times, too, during those first days, almost questioned the jus tice and wisdom of God who would allow such thing to happen"

CAUSE OF z|ON|SM IS GIVEN IMPETUS
 AT MASS MEETING
Miss Szold, Noted Leader in Zionist Work, in Three Addresses Stirs Enthu-
 siasm of Jewish People

The cause of Zionsm was greatly ad- vanced and the campaign for the Pales- tine restoration fund was given a de- cided impetus among local Zonists yes terday when Miss Henrietta Szold, noted Zionist leader and publicst, made three addresses on the principles of Zionism and the proposition to restore Palestine as the home land of the Jewish people.
 Yesterday morning Miss Szold made an semer and enlisted practically everyone present in the cause Yesterday after noon she made an address at the Y. M. H. A. clubrooms before the Birmingham Hadassah chapter and recited the story of the birth growth and purposes of the Hadassah orga nization. At the close of her stirring address the women present stood up and made the resolve to work for the realization of the hopes of the Zionists and to further the work of the Hadassah organization.
 Last night Miss Szold addressed a mass meeting at the Knesseth Israel syna- gogue, dealing extensively with the con structive work of the Zionists. She re- ferred at length to the recent procla- nation of the British government in ref erence to Palestine and stated that the Jewish people should be quick to grasp the opportunity offered by Great Brit ain to make home land for the Jews. In response to her eloquent appeal for subscriptions to the first installment of the Palestine restoration fund, which is $1 100000 the local Zionists last night subscribed S100 and this amount is ex- pected to be raised to $500 through the local campaign committee.

THE LITTLE GREEN TENTS

The little green tents where the soldiers sleep,
And the sunbeams play and the women weep,
Are covered with flowers today,
And between the tents walk the weary few
Who were young and stalwart in sixty-two
When they went to the war away.
The little green tents are built of sod
They are not long; they are not broad,
But the soldiers have lots of room;
And the sod is part of the land they saved
When the flag of the enemy darkly waved
The symbol Of dole and doom.
The little green tent is thing divine;
The little green tent is countrys shrine
Where patriots kneel and pray;
And the brave men left, so DID, so few,
Were young and stawart in sixty-two,
When they went to the war away

news OF OUR SOLDIER
BOYS
Interesting Letters from Our
Boys at Home Camps
and Abroad.
From "The Boy"

May 5-Everything has been awful
ly quiet here the past week and there
isn't bit of news to write home, sc
the Family Guide will have to dc
without its big feature this time. The
weather is fine and it is getting SC
warm that we have even been able to
do without fire in the stove, even
in the evenings. 1t is raining again
this evening, so l wouldn't be a bit
surprised if it turned chilly and dis
agreeable again. So you see, I have
absolutely no use for the weather here,
at all
Friday night l walked over to the
city to get the weekly edition of the
Stars and Stripes, and that is the only
time have been outside of the hospi-
tai grounds since my last letter, l am
certainly living mighty model life,
to stay in camp for over a week at a
stretch
We received another issue of tobac-
co this week, and as we had our choice
this time between smoking, chewing
and cigarette tobacco, stocked up on
smoking. So mother needn't have any
fear of me going entirely wrong for
the next month, or until the next is
sue of cigarettes.
Howard Gaylord has been made a
7first-class private, so now all the En-
NETT boys have graduated from the
buck private class. Howard is in
charge of the kitchen at nights now,
and is certainly making good, along
with the rest of the boys. John Gam
age is in charge of the hospital barber
shop and has the best job in the outfit,
for he is the only one who has a
chance to make any extra francs.
l see by the papers the War Lord
is getting ready to make another of
his famous peace proposals. We are
always glad to see them for they are
just as good as the comic section of
the Sunday papers, and they furnish
US boys lots of amusement. But some
day we will catch him with his pants
down and he will have to give US
real peace. But I guess it won't be
this year for Dad writes me that the
peach crop has failed, and we can't
win the war without peaches, of one
kind or another.
A postscript by Major B. o. Clark
says: "Tell Charlie Gamage that he
would die to see John shave big,
black buck niger"
