How Countries Are Making Provisions
for Future Of Soldiers Return.
ino From the War.

Our own efforts to care for our sol.
diers after the war can best be full
filled If we keep up with what others
are doing. The British empire as
whole is taking long steps toward pro-
viding for the soldiers after the war
in way to increase the supply of
food. In England, Wales and Scotland
some land has already been bought for
the purpose by the board of agricul-
ture and fisheries. Canada has set
aside land and arranged to lend 5000
to each applicant, as 8 per cent first
mortgage, running Is years, Norman
Hapgood writes in Leslie's. Applicants
must have had previous farm expert
ence, though intending farmers can go
to demonstration farms and be paid
current wages while they obtain the
required experience. In New Zealand
the rules are much like those in Cam
ada. Australia has set aside 500, ,OOO,-
600 for similar work, and others be-
sides soldiers may apply. The capital
of the government will be used in all
enterprising countries after the war to
settle men on the land. 1t is the way
not only to mitigate the threatened
unemployment situation but also to
meet the threatened food shortage.
That food shortage will be met sue
cessfully, if we are wise. Our consul
at Trinidad, British West Indies, points
out that in boys reformatOry 80 per
cent of the cost of feeding has been
saved by using only locally grown food.
Another interesting step in this direc-
tion is being taken in Canada, with
great possibilities in the future. Land
Is secured near a town or village, the
cultivation is supervised by an expert
farmer, and under him the work is
done by men from the town factories
and industries. Sometimes this work
is cooperative. In any case it is an
answer to the seasonal aspect of unem-
ployment. In this connection we may
recall the statement by Victor Boret,
the French food minister:
'The allies should be grateful to two
men after victory has been obtained.
First, to the general who leads the SOL
diers to win the decisive battle, and
second, to Herbert Hoover, who rem
dered it possible for the soldiers to
eat so that they might fight"
And Mr.. Hoover is one of those who
realize that the food problem of the
war should not be separated from the
food question after the war.

Rainfall and Battles.

Actual observation by French, Brit
ish, and American observers have fail
ed to establish any relationship be-
tween storming the enemy and storms
from the skies. Careful studies show
that rainfall and battles do not COIN
eide enough to give the basis for
theory Of cause and effect. The great
battles in France in the spring of 1917
failed to interrupt the long spell of
fair weather that accompanied them.
Furthermore, an examination recently
made Of the records of local distribu-
tion Of rainfall over England during
the first twenty-five months of the
war made by the British meteorologi-
cal office resulted in strengthening the
evidence against the theory.

lowed him. Inside the house was
passageway under the ruins. It was
about seven feet wide and fifty feet
long, I should judge.
At the other end was the great old
'75," poking its nose out Of hole In
the wall. The gun captain and the
crew were sitting around waiting the
word for action, and they seemed to
know Brown well. was surprised at
that, but still more so when he told
me I could examine the gun If ]
wanted to, just as If he owned it.
So I sat In the seat and trained the
cross wires on an object, opened and
closed the breech and examined the
recoil.
Then Brown said: "Well, Chink.
you'll see some real gunnery now" and
they passed the word and took sta
tions. My eyes bulged out when ]
saw Brown take his station with them
"Silence" is about the first com.
mand a gun crew gets when 1t Is going
into action, but l forgot all about 1t,
and shouted out and asked Brown how
he got to be a gunner. But he only
grinned and looked dopey. as usual
Then came to and expected to get o
call down from the officer. but he only
grinned and so did the crew. II
seems they had 1t all framed to spring
on me, ard they expected I would be
surprised.
So we put cotton In our ears and
the captain called the observation
tower short distance away and they
gave him the range. Then the captain
"called 412S meters" to Brown. They
placed the nose Of a shell IN fuse
adjuster and turned the handle until
Il reached scale 412S. This set the
fuse to explode at the range given.
Then they slammed the shell into the
breech, locked it shut and Brown sent
his best to Fritz.
The barrel slipped back. threw out
the shell case at our feet and returned
over cushion of grease. Then we
received the results by telephone from
the observation tower. After he had
fred twelve shots the captain said to
Brown, "You should never waste your
self in infantry. son." And old dopey
Brown Just stood there and grinned
That was Brown every time. he
knew about more things than you could
think Of. He had read about gunnery
and fooled around at Dixmude until
they let him play with the "75s," and
finally here he was, giving his kindesl
to old Fritz with the rest of them.

Pocket Stove.

The japanese have invented little
stove that you can carry around in your
pocket. 1t is in the form of a small
brazier, shaped rather like a cigar
case, and the fuel is a sausagelike
roll that burns for three hours with
out emitting smoke or fumes.
The Scientific American says that
one of these little contrivances ear
ried inside the bosom Of kimono
prevents journey In a railway train
from being chilly. Delicate pupils
keep one in their clothes while at
school in winter, and so equipped sit
comfortably in an unheated room. The
aged and the cold-footed sleep with
the stove at their feet. 1t is also used
like a hot-water bottle to soOthe the
pains Of cramp and collie.

Doduino the Draft.

When examined recently by physi-
clans at Jefferson barracks, st. Louis,
one drafted man, seeking to evade mill
itary service, showed marked i'm
pediment in speech.
He suffered so prOfusely, in fact,
that he was returned to Des Moines
as physically unfit for service. 1t was
clever sham-the man so admitted
boastfully to friends.
Then secret service men learned Of
it. While they listened, Several mer-
chants called in the man with a pre-
tended view of employing him as a
salesman. In celebrating on his Prov
ess as a salesman the evader's tongue
suddenly developed the facility of q
book agent.
Now he is back in the army.

MOTHER SAVES
SOLDIER HERO
Her Love, More Than the Work
of Surgeons, Aids in
Recovery.
WITHOUT A PARALLEL
Chance and Bravery OF Wounded OFF,
Ger, Who Was Treated as Private,
Won Him Place Close to
Relative.

Boston.-Lieut. Everett Pope, one OF
Harvard's most famous oarsmen, IS
convalescent in a French hospital at
ter one of the most remarkable recov-
cries recorded in these days when army
surgeons and nurses are working
miracles every day. Lieutenant Pope
was severely wounded during the tight
ing around ChateauThierry and for
days his life was despaired of. Then
it was found that the hospital in which
he was being treated was in the same
town where his mother was employed
in an officers rest station. She was
summoned, and from the moment his
lips whispered the word mother" and
his eyes beheld his relative, Lieuten-
ant Pope's recovery was assured.
Lieutenant Pope was one Of the grad
yates of the first class at Plattsburg,
n. Y, and early was on French soil TAX
ing final training with the American
troops. When the memorable offensive
at Chateau-Thierry was started, Pope
went forward with a regiment of infan-
try. Fighting like a wild man for
hours, he was finally knocked out by
machine gun fire. His shoulders were
shattered. In the terrific fight he had
lost his belt, coat and other insignia
Of rank and was carried along back
with the privates.
Took His Chances as Private.
Back Pope went, through the first
dressing station, to the field hospital

our noses worse than the coolies. They
certainly were game little devils, and
came right back at us.
So most of the poilus threw the
dope at Fritz and fought the coolies
hand to hand.
There was plenty of food In the
trenches most Of the time, though once
in a while, during a heavy lombard
ment. the fatigue-usually corporals
guard-would get killed in the COM
munication trenches and we would not
have time to get out TO the fatigue and
rescue the grub they were Bringing.
Sometimes you could not find either
the fatigue or the grub when you got
to the point where they had been hit.
But, as l say, we were well fed most
of the time, and got second and third
helpings until we had to open our
belts. But as the Limeys say: "Gaw
blimey, the chuck was rough They
served thick soup Of meat and vege-
tables In bowls the size Of wash ba-
sins, black coffee with OF without
sugar-mostly without land plenty
Of bread.
Also. we had preserves In tins, just
like the Limeys. II you send any par
cells over. do not put any apple and
plum jam in them or the man who gets
II will let Fritz shoot him. Ask any
Limey soldier and he will tell you the
same. never thought there was so
much jam In the world. No Mans
Land looked like city dump. Most
of US took 1t. after a while, just to
get the bread. Early In the war they
used the tins to make bombs of. but
| that was before Mills came along with
his hand grenade. Later on they fiat
tened out the tins and lined the dug
outs with them.
Each man carried an emergency ra-
ton In his bag. This consisted of bully
| beef, biscuits, etc. This ration was
never used except In a real emergency,
| because no one could tell when 1t
might mean the difference between
| life and death to him. When daylight
catches a man In shell hole or at a
listening post out In No Mans Land
he does not dare to crawl back to his
trench before nightfall, and then Is the
time that his emergency ration comes
in handy. Also, the stores failed to
reach us sometimes, as have said,
and we had to use the emergency
rations.
Sometimes we received raw meat
and fried 1t In our dugoutA We built

him In the trenches, because our out
fits were nowhere near each other. but
whenever we were In binets at the
same time, we were together as much
as possible.
Brown was funny card and never
saw anyone else much like him. A
big. tall, red-headed, dopey-looking fell
low, never saying much and slow In
everything he did or said-you would
never think he amounted to much or
was worth his salt. The boys used to
call him "Ginger" Brown, both on ac-
count Of his red hair and his slow
movements. But he would pull sur
prise on you every once in while.
like this one that he fooled me with.
One morning about dawn we started
out for walk through what used to
be Dixmude-piles Of stone and brick
and mortar. There were no civvies to
be seen; only mules and horses bring
ing up casks Of water, bags Of beans,
chloride Of lime, barbed wire, ammu-
milton. etc. 1t was good thing we
were not superstitious. At that, the
shadows along the walls made me feel
shaky sometimes.
Finally Brown said: "Come on
down; let's see the '75's.'" At this
time had not seen "75," except ON
train going to the front, so I took
him up right away. but was surprised
that he should know where they were.
After going half way around Dix
nude Brown said, "Here we are" and
started right into what was left Of a
big house. l kept wondering how he
would know so much about 1t, but fol-

Removing Germs From Water.

BY using filter alum in rapid sand
filters good results are being obtained
in reducing the bacterial content of
the well water at American mobiliza-
ton camps in France, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The chemical
coagulates on the sand at the top and
forms a film to which the bacteria ad-
here as the unpurified water trickles
through the bed. AT regular intervals
the upper surface Of the sand is re-
placed and a fresh supply of alum in
troduced.

times the program was changed; for

For the children tragedy, for the
older members Of the family a joke
occurred In certain Hillsdale, O.,

all day gathering sap from two maple

used the sap for dishwater, and the

remarked that the water was sticky.
