BurGomaster Retorts.

The Prussan town of Altwasser has developed d humorous burgomaster. The Schwaehische Taswacht says:
 'The burgOmaster of Altwasser, who has been flooded with anonymous let ters accusing him of failing in his duty as regards the food supplies, has caused reply to his accusers to he posted at the town hall. It reads 1:
 "1 am blamed in letters for the scarcity of potatoes, for the heavy rains and the consequent muddy state of the streets. and for the unlawful appropriation of food cards on the part of many inhabitants. Besides. the writers of these missives attack me for providing my household with more than I am entitled to and for pocket ing public funds as salary.
 "T invite some of these pettifog- ging spirits. who have no other re- course than to besmirch the reputation of their public officials, to come and dine with me any Sunday
 ""They would regret not having stayed at home to partake of the meat with which they are no doubt provid- cd, instead of the cabbage and turnips which they would find representing the joint on my table"

Animal "Shrew."

The word "shrew," as applied to an animal, will probably puzzle good many persons There are two distinct species. one called the common shrew and the other the lesser or the pigmy Shrew. The common shrew. especially numerous in Europe, Is about the size of a mouse. and closely resembles 1t in shape of body, feet and tail, but it's muzzle protrudes far beyond the lip and its eyes are so small that they are scarcely discernible through the fur. The ears are wide and short and the tail is four-sided. with the edges or the angles rounded off.

NOT CALCULATED TO CHEER
invitation to Prospective Soldiers to Purchase Cemetery Lots Criticized
 as in Poor Taste.

Down in south Jersey they are wide awake. The hour of the Jersey clocks had not gone twice around the dial after 300 newly drafted men in a certain city had been called for physi- cal examination when the postman brought to each of them an invitation to buy a cemetery lot. The invita- ton read as follows:
 (Which Is the better time to con- sider matter of this character? Now when there is ample time for calm, deliberate selection, or later, perhaps, when there is necessity? Experi- ence has proved the former the better course; there is a satisfaction in own ing an unused plot, and in knowing you have relieved others of a respon- sibllity."
 There are possibilities for the hu- morist in this, if anyone feels like get ting fun out of it. Probably it does not seem funny to the young men about to be taken from their work and their wonted ways of daily living to go into the trenches.
 The clerk of the county is going tO investigate the manner in which the names get out. and 1t may not be funny then for the people who sent out these cheerful invitations.
 Somebody ought to investigate, while investigation is in order the psychol- ogy of these Jersey geniuseS. New York Tribune

FORCED CHANGE IN WARFARE
mated All Possibility of Sur prise Attacks.

The first war use of airplanes was patrols used to do this work. They would try to gain some height from which they could look down upon the opposing army and size up it's forces. writes A. Russell Bond in St. Nicholas. But the airpane proved far superior to any other form of scouting, because II gave the scout an unohstructed view of the surrounding country for miles and he could see just what the enemy was doing. He could see whether large forces of men were collecting anywhere for a drive at some particu- lar point. He could locate the artillery of the enemy and discover his weak spots. And so it came along that there was complete change in warfare. The surprise movements that used to play such an important part in former days are a thing of the past No general of today can expect to spring a sur prise on the enemy as long as there are enemy eyes in the sky
 Modern long range guns are placed far behind the battle line. They may he as much as five or six miles behind their own lines, well concealed in some wood or back of a hill. The gunners cannot see what they are firing upon but their aim is directed by a Spotter in some observation post, such as a captive balloon or a tall tree But the best observation poSt is one that can take wing and soar over the enemy during bOmbardment From such q post the spOttcr can see just what his own artillery is doing, and he can signal back when shell goes beyond or falls short of the mark. Such air planes are constantly proving around in search of suspicious objects for the big guns to shoot at-A. Russell Bond in St. Nicholas.

Wilson Uses Peace Drive as War Move; Hopes to
Win Conflict By Steady Pressure On Austria.

Washington, Feb l5-President
Wilson's rejoinder to the statesmen
OF the central powers has started an
avalanche of speculation upon the
possibilities of an early peace in
Europe
It was learned that the PRESIDENT
move was not the result Of any secret
information of the readiness Of the
enemy to enter into peace negota-
tions.
The president delivered his reply to
Chancellor Won Hertling and Count
Czernin after sounding the allies upon
their views of the rropriety and ad-
Visibility of the move. BY some Of
the allies he was advised to refrain
from making a reply at this time.
Some of his official advisers also were
opposed to the step as likely to
strengthen the enemy impression that
America is too proud to fight
Wages Peace and War.
Mr. Wilson however, went ahead.
He made 1t known that he intended to
wage peace as we'll as war. He took
the second step in great peace drive
which he inaugurated in his address
to congress on Jan $.
While sending American armies q
battle he intends to keep the discus
sion of peace terms going in the hops
that the belligerents sooner or later
will find themselves close enough TO-
gether on peace terms to make fur.
sner bloodshed unthinkable.
The president will be greatly disap.
pointed if the Teutonic statesmen dc
not seize an early opportunity to repl.
to his address. He gave them assur'
ances that he is ready to make cor
