MlTHER'S DAY At
POST and THE AERO
STATION FEhTU RED

He was a splendid, rugged chap in
the middle twenties. Beneath his
bronzed skin stood out the firm mus
cIes that could drive bayonet through
u dozen Germans. Ills face was marred
by few hard lines that bespoke bit
or recklessnesS now and then He was
the type OF man who could go through
his baptism of fire without wincing,
who could stare death in the face with
jest on his lips. But now his cheeks
were wet, and his breath clutched in
his throat as he tried to steady his
words. And then, as he gripped the
hand Of the speaker in a vice-nke
grasp, his voice quivered and broke
Sir, you don't know how much that
talk meant to me. | tell you, it went
straight home. l didn't think anybody
cared what became OF me. But you're
dead right; I'd forgotten about my
mother. And I'll do it'll write her
a real letter today"
1t was only an incident at the close
of one Of the Mothers Day services
held for the men of the air station and
the forts yesterday by the Army and
Navy Y. Nj. C.. A, but it epitomizes the
spirit which animated each of these
services. Men who admitted that they
hadn't written to their mothers in
months; men who had drifted leagues
away from the redeeming influence OF
mothers love; men who had been
just a bit careless or thoughtless about
mothers heart-strings-all paused in
reverence to do honor to that spirit Of
0nselfish service and unsparing sacri-
flee which constitutes the crown OF
motherhood.

LABOR IN ACCORD WITH
IRISH NATIONAL SENTIMENT

London, May i2.-George Nicholl
Barnes, labor member of the war cab
met, speaking at a great meeting this
afternoon under the auspices o. the
national war aims committee said that
labor is in complete sympathy with the
irish national sentiment. But prob

nave parliament, so much Scotland, and
SO much Wales. At present Ireland is
doing little toward the war and 1t is

No "MayfIowers" In London?

If there are in England any de-
scendants of the little band of Pilgrims
who sailed in the Mayfower 29S years
ago, they are difficult to discover. An
American woman living in London has
been trying to find them, and with that
object she inserted advertisements
asking any "Mayflowers' now in Lon
don to meet her ut a hotel ut d certain
hour.
The appointed hour came, and the
American woman waited. A moving
picture photographer, several newspa-
per photographers and a dozen report
ers arrived and were mistakenly and
enthusiastically greeted as MayfiOwers.
There was an air Of eager expectancy
and suppressed excitement. Every
body waited for As minutes, but not a
single MayfiOwer' appeared. There
were signs Of disappointment.
But there must be some Mayfow-
ers in London" said the American
woman to the reporters. II can't be
the only One." She looked again at
the door, but there was no sound Of
footsteps and the meeting adjourned.

Rebuilding German Population.

All questions relating to rebuilding
of the shattered Germanic pOpula-
tons engage unceasing attention.
There has just been another German
AustrO-Hungarian medical congress
on the subject in Berlin. Eminent
physicians and surgeons pointed out
that, while there was vast deal that
their profession and the public health
authorities could do to help in the re-
population Of the two states, liberal
social legislation by their govern
ments was an equally important fac
tor. Education must be cheapened,
the cost Of living, so far as rearing
children Is concerned, must be re-
duced by every possible means; tax
alton must be readjusted so that the
lower and middle classes will hence
forth bear the minimum burden !;
housing reform was urgently called
for, and ways and means had to be
found for permitting more people to
share the benefits Of food-producing
land.

PoiIu at His Best.
Glad Of Opportunity to Divide Rations
and Make Friends With Four
footed Creature That Had Evi.

The sun, boring into his spine
through his thin shirt, made him reach
for his jacket. There was the little
dog still sitting on It's base, 20 yards
away. 1t covered and dropped It's
ears when he moved, and he thought !:
"PoOr beast! Some one has been do
ing the devils work on you, not badly !"
There were some biscuit in the
pocket Of his jacket, and he held one
out. The dog shivered and Its pink
tongue lolled painting with desire and
fear. Jean Liotard tossed the biscuit
gently about half way. The dog cow
cred back a step or two, crept forward
three, and again squatted. Then very
gradually it crept up to the biscuit,
bolted it, and regained its distance.
The soldier took out another. This
time he threw 1t five PAGES only In

Liotard held a third biscuit as far in
front Of him as he could, and waited.
The creature crept forward and
squatted just out of reach. There 1t
sat, with saliva dropping from its
mouth; seemingly 1t could not make up
its mind to that awful venture. The
soldier sat motionless; his outstretched
hand began to tire, but he did not
budge-he meant to conquer its fear.
At last 1t snatched the biscuit. Jean
Liotard instantly held out a fourth.
That, too, was snatched, but at the
fifth he was able to touch the dog. 1t
covered almost into the ground at the
touch of his fingers, and then lay, still
trembling violently, while the soldier
continued to stroke its head and ears,
And suddenly his heart gave a twitter
the creature had licked his hand. He
took out his last biscuit, broke 1t up
and fed the dog slowly with the bits,
talking all the time; when the last
crumb was gone he continued to muir.

Liberty Cycles Wheels.

One Of the outstanding features Of
the Liberty motorcycle, the standard
lied machine developed by the quar-
termaster corps for army service in
France, is the interchangeability Of its
wheels, says the Popular Mechanics
Magazine in an illustrated article. A
spare wheel, to be carried on the side
car, will take the place Of any one Of
the three wheels in case of an emer-
gency. Furthermore, such change
can be made in less than a minute. On
either side are transverse tongues
which fit into grooves in the driving
sprocket and brake-drum mechanisms
carried on opposite prongs Of the rear
fork. In mounting the wheel 1t Is only
necessary to slide 1t into place and
lock 1t with O Knockout axle, which
consists simply ola central bolt and
nut.

worth, trade commissioner Of the bu-

HAWK NO MATCH FOR CROWS
Cunning Creatures, by Clever Strate.
gy, Stole Titbit From the Claws
Of Bird Of Prey.

Travellers In the Orient have much
to say about the Indian cow, bird
that for uncanny knowingness and
prankish audacity has perhaps no
equal.
COrvus splendens-thus have Orni-
biologists labeled him; but famous
naturalist who knows the breed at
first hand has called them "shreds Of
Satan, cinders from Tartarus." To
give these impish creatures their due,
however, it should be said that life in
India is not little enlivened by their
presence. Here is a characteristic in
cident in this relation:
A small hawk had seized little
bird and perched on leafless branch
to devour his prey. The spectacle drew
two crows to the spot. They hoped
and tapped from branch to branch,
noisily discussing the strategy Of their
intended raid.
Then one Of them quietly slipped
away through the surrounding foliage.
At the same time his mate flew in
front Of the perching hawk, and how
ering steadily within foot of his beak
maintained busting menace Of
snatching the titbit.
That effectively compelled the atten-
ton Of the hawk. His prey grasped
firmly beneath his feet, he angrily
Kissed and lunged at the lowering
nuisance. So lively was the skirmish
that the human onlooker forgot the
existence of the second crow. But
now that willy bird reappeared some
distance in the rear of his destined vic
tim.
With stealthy sidlings and short,
noiseless flights he drew near. Then
he made swift dash, seized the
hawks long, barred tail by the tip,
hung on with his full weight and
tOppled the luckless hawk In a COM
plete-back somersault from the branch.
The released titbit was instantly
seized by the first crow, and the clever
pair bore off their booty with much
triumphant cawing.

Protect the Birds.

Saving the song birds of France Is
the object Of plan proposed by M.
Andre Godart, a Partisan. M. Godart
calls attention to the scarcity of
birds in France, due to insufficient
protection, and the consequent loss to
grape growers of the Gironde in 1910
Of 100000 Of francs, as well as a
decrease in the oil production of south
ern France, so great that the olive
growers threatened to abandon the in
dustry. He suggests that goldfinches,
bull finches, linnets, yellOwhammers,
thrushes. blackbirds and starlings, all
Of which nest readily In gardens, be
reared in large and specially designed
aviaries and released when full grown
to repOpulate the now deserted woods

Mr. Conroy was member of the old

chairman of the Board for years Of
that time, and as Chairman of the
Board served as member OF the Tax
Levy Board, for years.
Mayor Haynes selected Mr.. Conroy
to ACT as Chief of Police during the
years 1904, and it is generally con-
coded that while acting in that ca
pacity he gave much of his time and
energy 20 the welfare of the commun-
lty.
Following this in 1906 he was elect
ed Alderman from the Second Ward,
and served years in the City Coun-
Gil, and took active part in the field

former rate.
He also assisted in framing the pres
ent Gas Light Company franchise.
In 1893 Mir. Conroy, as member of
the Board of County Commissioners,
