Schedules Are Things Of Past
With Passenger Trains
Through This City.

Since last Friday Paris and Henry
county have experienced the severest
weather that has been recorded in
many years. Beginning Friday af-
ternoon with a deep snow, the con-
ditions have varied so that each day
new brand of weather has been
served.
Saturday holds the record as the
coolest day in twenty years. The
blizzard began late Friday afternoon
and at midnight the thermometer
registered seven below zero. Satur-
day morning at six o'clock the icy
fingers Of the gale had forced the
mercury in the little tube down 60
eighteen points below. The temper
ature rose slightly as the day wore
on but the mercury hesitated in the
region of zero until Sunday morn
ing.
| Monday it rained steadily through
out the day and the natives herea-
bouts waded about over town when
ever it was absolutely imperative that
they go out; otherwise, they stayed
indoors. Monday night the promised
cold wave came along and obligingly
froze up the mess on the streets so
that all day Tuesday pedestrians slid
and skidded as they went about their
business.
Wednesday morning it was snow
ing again, and continued SO practical
ly all day, coevring the ice clad
streets with about four or five inches
of the fieecy white and hiding the mul
titudinous sins of the weather man

MANY JEWS IN

 TO BE DESTITUTE

LONDON. Oct. 17.-Thousands of Jews in Poland and Lithunia. idle and destitute, are described as in sorry plight" by a representative of the Dutch Relief Committee in the Judische Press of Berlin.
 Shortage of raw material and lack of machinery have cut the means of earning livlihood from vast portion of the Jewish population in both countries, he says, and the nor tality is exceedingly high, particu- larly among the young.
 Conditions in Wilma are said to be unusually bad. Deaths which nor mally were per cent. have risen to 44.4 per cent. and in Warsaw here in 1917 the rate of mortality showed an increase of per cent. for non Jews. the statistics show an increase in the death rate of Jews of 21 per cent.

 DESCRIBED Some of the Handicaps of Carrying on War in the Valley of the

JERUSALEM, Oct. IT. - Allied soldiers in the valley of the Jordan know now how really nnkipd were persons who, in pre-war days, wished them in Jericho" To these fighting men. Jericho and it's dust covered environs mean heat, flies, mosquitoes and snakes, mildly advertised by the Turks in this message set up opposite the British lines: Don't fear an offensive from us; we will come over later when you are all dead"
 This summer, day after day, army thermometers along the Jordan reg istered from 105 to 125. Yet with scarcely breeze, and these dust laden, the Australia and New Zea- land horsemen holding these lines, bringing from temperate climate a reserve of health and vigor lack ing in the natives, withstood the ordeal.

with MT. R. II. Cochrane, and he
 has never claimed, or been given

 Last summer he told me that
 the most advertised man in all the history of the world was the Kaiser, and that no title ever given a play or a picture would have the draw ing power of The Kaiser He told
 me that if I could make a picture even half as good as the title
 would have a world-beater. "A little later he suggested that in order to make the title fool proof, as he called it, and to pre- venting any one from thinking that this picture might be a boost for the mad dog of the world, I ought to add to the title the words, The Beast of Berlin. Well, you know the result Mr. Clawson and I have been showered with congratulations from all parts of the country, but all the time we were accepting the praise we felt that the real big, original idea of the whole thing should be credited to MT. Cochrane
 Be good fellow and tell the boys about it and thank you kindly. Mr. Cochrane told me to take the credit for the idea myself; but I simply can't"

How 'The Kaiser"
 Received Its Name.

What's in a name?' is a say ing which needs no proof or repeti- ton to make it intelligible in terms of experience to every one. But there is no better example of it than "The Kaiser, the Beast of Der lin," the tremendous expose of the
 private life of the Jackal of Europe.
 And the application of the saying
 to ''The Kaiser" which will be seen
 at the Palace tonight, has just be- come known through the public acknowledgement of the origination of the Kaiser picture and the title. As the star and director, Rupert Julian has received extravagant praise for his wonderful portrayal |of the best hated and most enthus- iastically hissed role he ever es- saved. But when he and Elliott J. Clawson, who wrote the story with
 him, began to receive compliments on the genius of the idea itself and the master stroke of the won derful title, he felt that he was re- ceiving something to which he was not at all entitled. Like the thor ough gentleman and scrupulousfy
 honest man that he is, he immed-

In the early days of the fighting, when it was impossible to take the necessary sanitary precautions, they bred in myriads, but now pools of stagnant. water have been eliminated and large tracts of scrub burned. As result, the number of malaria eases has been surprisingly low. Of the minor evils. the snakes are the worst, but due to the pre- cautions taken by officers and men. casualties from snake-bites have been comparatively insignificant, de- spite the number of the reptiles and their venomous species.

N DAVENPORT, Ia, Oct. 22. - De- scription of his experiences in re- cent offensive on the Western front in which American divisions disting- uished themselves is contained in a letter from George w. Jones, former football coach at St. Ambros Col lege, now second lieutenant with the 122d. Field Artillery, A. E. F.
 Prior to the war Lieut.. Jones had reputation among small college football coaches as the originator of open football tactics of a novel na- ture. He was one of the first men tors to adopt the forward pass.
 In his letter Lieut.. Jones said:
 This is a corking division and did wonderful work in the big dirve; l got up just in time to see the end of it. I passed through the villages you have been reading about and in some of them not a single house escaped shell fire. The Germans had evacuated only day or two before and all sorts of material lay about with numberless dead heroes and some unburied boches.
 'I had wonderful view of the battle one night Seated on a high ridge at the edge of wood one could look across the valley and see flashes and hear the rumbling of the cannon while their shells whined over head. Everything was brilliant. ly lighted by flares and rockets. It was like having a grandstand seat and having the battle staged for your particular benefit.
 "This division has been in for six months only and a few days ago we got a relief. Coming back here to our billets was not a summer time stroll, for travel had to be by night and damned roads in mud and inces- sant rain. Everybody was worn out and many of the horses had to be cut loose and shot or left by the roadside in the hopes that few hours rest would put them on their feet again. Chasing the Boche has been a trying experience for both men, and beasts. It was work, night and day, and the wonder is that they stood it so well. A few days of rest here has worked wonders, but our Armies need little more rest before returning to active service. The Roche are heavy fighters. but our boys are giving them more than they can stand.
 This division has been compliment ed both by it's officers and those of the French high command. The ar tillery has been doing brilliant work and the doughboys are fighting fools. I am mighty glad was sent from the rear where I was detailed for so long because being back there is like being on the sidelines in uniform at football game. Of course. some. one must stand on the sidelines, but 1t is lot more consoling to be in the game"

 Ut is not the plan of the com pany to install machinery at the plant this year but we will put up salmon and salt herring. The sur plus fish caught by our traps and nets will be taken to the Port Wal ter plant where they will be canned. It is our intention to gradually de- yelop the plant.
