About Envelopes

II is said that envelopes were In.
vented during the carry days OF Louis
NV Of France. In 1860 NJ. De Val
lyer established u private post and
placed boxes at the corner OF the
streets for letters lnclosed In envel-
opes that were sold In offices estab.
lished for that purpose. It seems
likely, however, that envelopes were IN
use before this period because envel.
opes so used In France were special
postpaid envelopes. But precisely
what year Is marked by the first inyen
ton OF envelopes is unknown.

YOUR RED CROSS
1n a ,.1ur Wifhn,xf n I'm
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
OF the viqilantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument OF
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
days, the Red Cross surpasses it inmeasurably not
only in the range and variety Of its effort, but IN
efficiency and effectiveness ss's ssa aa
The Red Cross is we may say, the arms Of the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Cross is an army uifhoaf a gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache. Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner Of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go
forth to with spirit of hopefulness because we
know that this great agency of humanity presses
close behind them that it's work is not incidental,
but the intelligent directed effort of one Of the
most marvellous organizations contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds,-again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet again! For this is war for
the defense of civilization, and we of great. free,
splendid glorious America have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army of the Red
Cross solidly supporting our soldiers

YEARS TO BRING TROOPS BACK.
Senator Cummins Forecasts Difficult
les in Sea Transportation After War.

Washington. May Ex-senator A. B.
Cummins of Iowa told the senate that
when the war is over it will take
America two years, TO bring back men
ana equipment engaged in the con-
fiict unless an agreement is made be-
forehand with the allies to utilize all
available shipping.
Senator Cummins introduced reso-
luton expressing it to be the sense Of
the senate that the United States and
allied nations should enter into an
agreement that all their shipping ia
cilities should he utilized without dis
elimination after peace ls declared in
returning troops and war equipment.
At Senator Cummins' request, the res
olution was referred to the committee
on foreign relations.
Some day" said Senator Cummins,
1.-THE combined strength of the allies
win crush the German power and
some day will see a victory for the
United States and the allies. When
that happy day comes, we shall prob
ably have in Europe, three. four five
or six million men, with an almost in
conceivable volume of war materials.
These men and this material must be
at that time returned as speedily as
possible.
L believe the return of the troops
from the scene OF action and the re-
turn of the material necessarily ac-
cumulated in or near the battleields
Of Europe ought to he a common
cause for all nations engaged in the
war

an Arrangement row thai will enable
US to begin the race 10 recover our

Germans Kill Survivors Of Company
Whom They Try to Surrender.
How every man Of German COM
peny lost his life in an attack on the
Arrnentieres front is told in a letter
from an officer to his local newspaper,
in Liverpool, England.
THE fercest fight we had" he writes,
was when the enemy massed troops
with the object of widening the gap he
had made. The attempt was made in
open country. where we were able to
mass a number of battalions against
him, and the fighting was very fierce.
Our Liverpool battalion had the post
Of honor. When the Germans started
to throw their troops against us, we
poured into their ranks a very heavy
fire and did terrific execution.
Immediately in front of us Ger
man company got caught between our
fire and that Of another English reg!-
ment, with the result that they could
neither advance nor go back They kept
on trying to reach our square, but were
shot down one by one until only six OF
them remained These six threw down
their rifles and signaled that they
| wished to surrender. But they were seen
by a German officer near by, who CAV
an order, to his men, and the six were
shot down by their own comrades be-
| for they could reach u.s."

April IS, British prisoners Of war, who
We're working in a kommando nearby,
were shot for not stopping talking
when ordered.
1t is also reorted from Sennelager
by a British soldier who was in the
receiving compound that on Jan. II
there were sixty-two war prisoners
of all nationalities in the compound.
on the morning of Jan, Is a German
soldier entered the room and ordered
eight men to draw coffee from the
camp, 500 yards distant from the re-
Ceiving compound. Seven of the pris-
oners complied hut as the English
can not drink the German coffee no
Englishman advanced to draw the cof-
fee for the twelve Englishmen there.
\ German soldier ordered a British
private to fetch the coffee. but he re-
piled that the English were unable to
drink 1t.
He was ordered second time, and
again refused. The sentry then at
tempted to strike the British soldier
with the butt Of his rifle. but the Brit
isher pushed the RI ie down with botn
hands.
The sentry then ordered the remain
der OF the prisoners to the other side
of the room and turning about, walked
TO the door, ten PAGES away. When
he turned about again two French
men were standing in front of the
British soldier in line of fire and the
sentry ordered them to move over.
He then threw open his coat and came
TO aim and tired hitting the British
soldier in the left side. He. died in
four minutes.
This deed was not committed in the
heat of the moment, but was abso-
lutely deliberate. Is it any wonder"
asks the correspondent, that the
blood of our officers and men boils at
such crimes and that they look to
those at home 10 do something 10

War and Kentucky
Whisky Combine to
Make Mj1lionaires

Louisville, KY, May 25.-War and
Kentucky whisky have produced a
number Of millonaires. The story OF
its accomplishment forms an interest
ing chapter in present day history
Eight months ago distillers were
gloomy over the prospect of ruin as
the result Of enforcing closing of their
plants for a period Of :wo years and
the aggressive advance of the prohibi-
| ton movement Today, thru whisky
price advancement. according to state
| ments made in the Louisville whole
sale liquor district practically all have
become we'll to do. or have heen thrust
into the millionaire class. About
twenty men in Louisville alone are
said to have become wealthy as a re-
suit Of an advance Of approximately
$3.50 per gallon, in whisky prices since
Sept. !, last year.
One man. long identified with the
whisky business, said that whisky
owners and dealers who have supplies
have made money so fast that they
hardly know what 20 DO with il. one
OF them, he said, has made arrange
rents to provide annuities for certain
Of his Older employees.
Retailers say the consumer must
settle the bill and that over the bar
| customers are not only paying more IN
! cash in many cities, but are getting
| less for their money.
One Louisville plant had 10000 bar
rels when prices began soaring. If the
owners have retained il they will
realize a profit of about s3.525.n00. An
other distiiler is reported TO have 80
! 900 barrels which al present price
would yield him s5,s75, 900. Still an
other, il is said. had $4,000 barrels now
worth s2,937,500. Five others are re-
ported TO have holdings which would
net them $3.50, 900 each or a total
profit of sl1.750,Q90 One dealer is said
to have cleared $500, 900 alone.
Many small dealers who held from
100 to 200 barrels have cleaned up
from $4,000 10 $50, coo each. The in
dicated holdings Of the men and firms
aggregate approximately 100000 bar
rels Of whisky of forty-seven gallons
each, or IA Zoe 600 gallons. on which, it
is currently reported they have realized
s25, $50, 900. Many are holding their
stock for even higher prices.
The report of the internal revenue
department shows there were in bond
in the United States on july 81, 1917,
193. 900 gallons Of whisky. OF this
total there were in Kentucky los, 32l, 723
gallons. March l, Of this year, there
were in bond in the United States 49,
4o4, 900 gallons, and in Kentucky at that
time there were sS,4s2, 900 gallons, thus
showing a Withdrawal in the country
during that period of 15,2ss,0oo gallons
and a decrease in Kentucky Of 1b,8ss,-
723 gallons.
When the law closing distilleries be-
came effective IL was estimated there
was supply which would last for
two years or more, but at the with
drawai rate which began this spring.
it is estimated 1t will not last more
than year During March there were
taken from bond more than 10000, 900
gallons.
Last September the price Of whisky
in bond ranged from so to go cents a
gallon. Later in the fall 1t rose to
81. At this record price one dist!ller
sold approximately $4,000 barrels. Now
the price stands at s3.05 per gallon.

Increments to the American forces

brought the trench mileage held by the
Americans to the highest point yet
known and served to place our forces
third numerically in the mileage along
the French front according to informa-

Americans is greater than that held by
the Belgians, the French coming first,
the British second, the Americans third,
and the Belgians fourth.
New figures regarding the number of
Americans in France and those en-
route and ready to depart also were
given to the senators. Altho they adj

mitted that the actual figures did not
tally closely with the more optimistic
claims and expectations of the wax
secretary they withheld the details.
However. Secretary Baker has an
nounced that there are more than $780,
600 Americans abroad at the present
time. They hold sectors on the Picardy
and Flanders fronts. From the rate at
which the troops are departing it is ex-
pected that the Americans abroad will
reach the total of a million men by the
middle of summer.
In this connection it is said that the
100000 figure of Secretary Baker al
ready is out of date. One of the rea-
sons responsible is that the number of
men going "over there" weekly is in
