A QUICK DECISION.

In his earlier years Lord Morris
(afterward Lord Chief Justice of Ire
land) was Recorder of Galway. On
one occasion the last case on the list
dispute over few shillings-was ar
gued before him at great length and
with much warmth. Lord Morris was
anxious to get back to Dublin, where
the courts were in full swing and he
held important briefs. Within a few
minutes the Dublin train was timed
to start. The Recorder looked at his
watch, but the wrangle did not seem
to be approaching an end.
At last he said to the opposing So
licitors: "See here, gentlemen, | must
catch a train. Here is the sum in dis
pute;" and throwing down the silver,
he vanished from the court.-Green

The reply of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation

by Alfred Lefkowitz, delegate from
the Teachers Union to the Central
Federation of New York, in which he
accused Mr.. Gompers of stigmatizing
him and thousands of other loyal so
cialists as disloyal," was read here
this week at meeting of the Central
Federation Union.
"There may be socialist here and
there" said Mr.. Gompers in his reply,

lean government and to the labor
movement. / have heard and seen
some socialists mouthing a declara-
tion of loyalty and yet in their every

so generally disloyal that it is the ex-

AT COLONIAL TOMORROW

Captivating Enid Bennett. in a de-
lightfully pleasing story, "A Desert
Wooing," will be the enjoyable attrac-
ton at the Colonial tomorrow evening
In this remarkable picture, Enid
bennett is seen as a jaded society girl,
who is placed in the matrimonial
market by her impecunious mother to
be sold to the highest bidder. She
weds breezy Western rancher, a
primitive man whose masterful ways
and manly qualities ultimately win
her love and rejuvenate her jaded
spirit She proves equal to every
emergency and when her great love is
placed to the test, she evinces re-
markable courage, and once the SER
pent has been removed from her Eden,
she finds happiness in the love of her
primitive husband.
Mixing the prim and proper East
with the big and burly West, was like
mixing oil and water But they got
around it by getting rid of the water.

supporting cast headed by popular

In the course of her occupation Jean

WHAT GREAT WARS HAVE COST
Expenditures That In the AggreJTt
Amount to Sum Sufficient to
"Stagger Humanity"

Recently the congress of the Unite
States passed, almost without dehat,
the greatest budget in the history -
the world. making available for Unc'
Sam $1,000, 100000 in order to carry GA
the war on scale commensurate VII
fore, to compare with this the cost OF
other wars. The Napoleonic wars
which ragged over Europe from 1893 to
1915, cost approximately 100000 ,O0o.
or the same amount that congress pro
vided for the United States to enter
into the conflict, and that was only a
beginning.
The Mexican war cost the United
States about S1O0.000,000, compare
lively trifiing sum. The Civil war,
however, was a very expensive affair,
entailing the expenditure of $S,OOO.-
100000 from 1861 to 1865. The Franco
Prussian war cost the two nations en-
gagged about SO, 800, 100000. The second
South African war, from 1900 to 1902
cost 81, 500,000000, the conflict between
Russia and Japan consumed almost
$4,000, 100000, while the United States
got off very cheaply in the Spanish

COLORED TROOPS
DOING WELL
Break Up German Attack On Their
Sector. COlOred Soldiers Hold
Up Their End

A dispatch from the American Army
on the Marine gives credit to the work
of the colored troops who are hold
ing up their end in a praiseworthy
manner 1t says:
american colored troops are now
participating in the heavy fighting
that has been developing since the re-
newal of the German offensive. This
is the first time the colored men have
seen heavy action and they are ac-
quitting themselves well.
Their commanding officer, who is
white. was in a hospital many miles
to the rear of the fighting lines suf-
fering from a broken axle. When he
heard that the offensive had been re-
sumed he summoned an auto and over
the emphatic protests of his doctors
he raced back to his organization
which already was in action and took
command. Three officers who also
had been in bed in hospitals with in
fiuenza rejoined their units.
THE German attack was complete
ly broken up by artillery fire at the
particular point where the negroes
were in the line. The Boches were
held in their trenches at the very out
set of their venture and the attackers
suffered heavy losses"

For a supply of tomatoes for can

One way of obtaining a crop of these
is to root a batch of cuttings now.
