MIGHT LAND UP IN MORGUE
A, N. Best II Would Be Hospital for
Man Who Yelled "Hurrah for
the Kaiseri"

Two men talking on the rear
rlst form Of an East Tenth street a
were discussing the poor service ana
how long II would take a person to get
n place by depending on the city
cars. when one Of the men said NAT
he had heard of a quick way to reach
the city hospital.
He explained that while he was
down town, a few days before. ne han
overheard the conversation between a
man who was evidently a stranger and
another man Of Irish descent.
"Could you tell me the quickest way
TO get to the city hospitalf" Inquired
the stranger.
"Sure." said the man of Irish de
scent, "you walk one square east, turn
TO your right and go n square south
There you will find a recruiting sta
ton. Go In there and yell: 'Hurraf
for the kaiserr' and when you come t.
you will be in the city hospital
The man who told the story said ne
thought that was one way of reach
ing the city hospital In record-breakint
time, but his friend did not agree witt
him.
"why don't you agree with mef'
asked the first man. Don't You thinl
the plan a good onef"
"Oh, the plan is all right" replied
his friend, "but I think the destina
ton is all wrong. Any mar going into
a recruiting station and yelling: 'Hur
rah for the kaiserp would make 9

Allies Have moro Wheat.

England and France have made q
remarkable wartime record In raising
crops this year. The French crop of
wheat promises to be 100000 BUSH
els more than last year. and England
probably will have 100000 more
than In 1917.
With 100000 fewer male laborers on
the land than before the war. England
and Wales have planted 39 per cent
more land to crops this year than In
1915, and the area OF grain Is the
largest on record. The increase In
grain and potatoes is 2,042.O 900 acres.
Scotland and Ireland are expected to
show almost as great an increase. The
wheat acreage In England and Wales
is 2,665.0O0 acres: oats, 2,820,OOO
acres; barley. 100000 acres rye and
minor grains, $4,000 acres; potatoes,
645,0O0 acres.
The entire wheat area Of the United
Kingdom this year as estimated by
Broomhall is 100000 acres, on which
the crop may exceed 10O.OOO.OO0
bushels.

CAUGHT SPIRIT or OCCASION
Colored Porter Meant That Eagle
Should Shine In Celebration Of
American Victory.

It happened after the news that the
allied forces were chasing the army
Of the crown prince. There was great
rejoicing on the steps of the custom
house building. Everybody was shak-
ing the hand of everybody else. The
man who had never before been known
to lose his dignity was pulling the hair
of the office boy and whooping IL mp
generally.
All of which was at first rather In
comprehensive to the colored porter
Of the building. He didn't know just
what Ii was all about, but IL looked
good to him, nevertheless. Finally, he
seemed to "get" it. With the agility
of a cat he climbed one of the ped
estals at the front Of the building.
On the top is a bronze globe, with a
spread eagle owe 1t. Hanging pre-
c~ariously on the ledge, the negro pull
ed a grimy cloth out of n pocket
and a can of paste out Of another.
Then with a vim and vigor that had
never before characterized any of his
actions he began polishing away at the
eagles head. While he polished he
talked:
"Oh, lady, lady, we're goin' a make
you shinel oh. lady, that shineTl take
the eyes out dem Germansl Oh. lady,
that head o. your'n is goin' a be some
bright"
And the other celebrants stopped to
cheer him.-New York Times.

YANKEE SOLDIERS WELL FED
u Cannot Be Said That In Any way
Uncle Sam Stints His Fight
Ing Men.

More than a billion pounds OF meat
a year and an equal amount of pure
wheat flour are required for the Amer
lean army bill Of fare. That impos-
ing total will increase rapidly as the
United States enlarges its fighting
forces In France and the divisions In
training on this side of the Atlantic.
Uncle Sam does not stint the quality
or quantity of food for his husky fight
ing men. There is a bountiful supply
of every essential foodstuff on q care
fully balanced menu that provides
more calories than the rations OF any
other army In the world. Twenty
seven standard articles figure in the
list from which mess sergeants select
material for the daily meals. They
are beef, bacon, flour, baking powder,
beans, rice, potatoes, onions, tomatoes,
prunes, jams, apples, peaches, coffee,
tea, sugar, milk, vinegar, pickles. salt
pepper cinnamon, lard and lard sub
stitutes, butter and oleomargarine,
strip and flavoring extracts. Even
with this elaborate selection. and not
withstanding the mounting cost OF
food, the government finds 1t possible
to give the boys in khaki all they can
eat for the modest sum Of Al and a
fraction cents a day. The soldiers get
many articles Of food, however, that
are not included In the standard" list
Supply ~sergeants are instructed to
vary the diet by purchasing eggs,
chickens, green vegetables and fresh
fruits. This plan is followed In
France as well as In the United
States. Under favorable circumstances
poultry and fresh vegetables and fruit
are served in the front-line trenches.
Uncle Sam believes that Napoleon was
right when he said that 'an army
fights on Its belly."-Thomas F. Logan
In Leslie's.

AIR GUNNERS EXCEL
Allies Flyers Guido Foe With
Machine Guns.
Skill In Use Of Weapons Gives Vie
tory in combats With
Huns.

Somewhere in France. Accurate
machine-gun fire is the chief require
ment of the successful combat avia.
tor, allied aviation experts agree. For
tunately for the allies, that is one de-
partment in which their aviators ex.
eel.
II is interesting to note the progress
made In the weapons used by aviators.
At the opening of hostilities airplanes
were used mainly for observation
work. Their pilots were armed gener-
ally with carbines, and sometimes only
with a revolver. Then came the fight
ing airplanes and the single and dou-
BILE machine gun.
But these newer and more deadly
weapons are useless unless properly
aimed, and this is no small task, as
the pilot must aim not his gun, but
his whole machine. He must use his
airplane as a gun mount. 1t Is easy
to c%Onjure some of the pilots difficult
ties when the gun mount is maneuver-
ing and travelling twice as fast as any
express train, while it's target is In
similar action.
Nor is that all the difference be-
tween aerial and ground gunnery. On
the ground ammunition is practically
unlimited. In an airplane every ounce
of weight counts, and ammunition is
therefore strictly limited. The great
er, consequently, is the need for ac-
curacy in shooting.
1t is important that no ammunition
shall be carried which is not absolute
ly reliable, and all is selected and
tested. Guns are vigorously inspected,
for a jam at a critical moment might
prove fatal. In training, on the other
hand, ammunition is carefully select
ed for its badness, the object being, by
means of frequent gun jams to make
the clearing of a stoppage automatical-
ly simple to the pilot.
The successful air fighter must be
a good pilot, but even the most brill
liant trick flyer, the "stunter" who
a throw his machine about In the

ACROSS OCEAN IN AlRPLANE
Expert Is OF Opinion That Successful
Flight viii Be Made Before
End Of Year.

The most famous voyage In the his
tory of the world was made In 1892.
Columbus sailed from Spain. touched
the Portuguese coast, paused at the
Azores, and then drove across the un
charted seas until his jollyboats nosed
the sands of a new world.
Another voyage that will shine In
history beside that of Columbus will
almost surely reverse the route OF the
great discoverer-from the American
continent at Newfoundland, say, TO
the Azores, thence to Portugal and
finally to France. But II will be made
through the skies by airplane. And II

science II will be made this year.
At least this is the settled opinion
of Maj. Gen. William s. Brancker, con.
troller general of equipment on the
British air council. General Branckei
is now in Washington to help co-ordi

Atlantic is simply this: That 1t mus
