ought to make it his whole purpose
to see that America is saved.
Why Not Have A =.
Used Lewis Gun.
Take the machine gun. It's an
old controversy and much may be
said on both Sides The Lewis gun
has been manufactured here for the
British army and there are 10000
of them on the battle fronts. Every
British officer I have seen has ex-
pressed approval of that gun. Am
erica was prepared to produce them.
but with the country standing ON
seething volcano the ordinance de-
partment was trying to decide on a
gun. The War Department didn't
even adopt a gun until May, and
finally adopted it in June (191D, l
believe, and then only on paper, and
it still is gun on paper. 1T has
never had field test. Maybe the
Browning gun is doing good work.
WHY not manufacture the Lewis
gum"
The Secretary of War testified, he
recalled, that in September the Unit
ed States had nine Browning guns
with which to go out against the
millions of Germany" He announc-
ed the cry that investigation gives
information to the enemy.
Germany knows more about AM
erica today than the men connected
with the department" Senator Cham
berlain declared. IF the govern
ment would be frand with the people
then we could rely upon the people
to rally to the support of the presi-
dent and the prosecution Of the war"

London, April There was stir
in the House of Commons the other
DAY when the Prime Minister, David
Lloyd George, suddenly appeared on
the floor just before the close with an
portant-looking document in his
hand. Instantly members began to
speculate as to what might be the sub
ject of the announcement he was to
make.
The Premier started talking conf
dentially with one of the underwear
ministers as soon as he had taken his
seat on the treasury bench, and It
was Immediately inferred by observ-
ers that the subject was military, pos
sibly the military situation in Ireland
or some development on the fighting
fronts. other members noticed that

llhood of a great victory somewhere,
or perhaps good news from the Irish
convention.
Then the Prime Minister arose, His
message was a signed documest from
the king, asking the authorization of
Parliament for a grant of Sl25,OOO to
Lady Maude, the widow OF General
Frederick Stanley Maude, who COM
manded the British expedition that
captured Hut and Bagdad. The gem
e"al. after a wonderful career OF vic
tory, died a poor man, leaving hardly
mere than enough TO pay his funeral

ferred to It's proper committee and IL
is expected that the grant will, in due
course be made.

H0BOES AND MLEONAIRRS
TO BE REQUIRED TO WORK
(By Associated Press.)

Camden N j., April They are
going after the idlers in New Jersey
All over the State the police ana the
reace officers are planning to round
up the idolent ones under the Anti
Lcafing law recently passed by the
legislature
There will be no distinction. Ho-
hoes and millionaires. If they DO net
work. will be put in the same class.
All are required to put in at least
thirty-six hours each week at work Of
some sort. If any one refuses to obey
the law it means fine of $10e, three
months in Jail, or both.
Plans for carrying out the provi-
sions of the new law were discussed
at recent meeting of police officials
and sheriffs from all parts of New
Jersey. Sheriff Corson of Camden
county said after the conference that
idlers, without regard to their statioa
in life will be seized and will be al
lowed one week to go to work or else
face prosecution,
The State Commissioner of Labor
submitted the following plan for tbs
enforcement of the law: Whenever an
officer of the law sees an idler he
will take him to the nearest police
station. There the man must fill out
a form card, which will indicate the
kind of work he is best fitted Cor. He
viii then be directed to hunt for work.
The card will be turned over to one
OF the public employment offices. If
the man cannot find work the em-
ployment bureau will offer him a
choice of jobs. II he should reject
this offer, specific job will be picked
out for him. If he still refuses to
go to work he will be prosecuted.
Large posters announcing the pre-
visions of the law and warning idiers
that it will be enforced will be seat
to all sheriffs with instructions to dis
play them prominently.

FOOTBALL HAS TAKEN
ON NEW POPULARITY
SINCE WAR BEGAN
(By Associated Press

Paris, April Football has made
such wonderful strides since the be-
ginning of the war that 1t bids fail to
become as popular in France as it is
in England. AS it stands now it may
already be looked upon as the nation
al sport Of France.
The game was in favor with the
French people before the outbreak Of
hostilities. With the advent of the
English troops in France, football has
made more progress during the last
three years than during all the years
that elapsed since it was introduced
in France.
The French soldiers are especially
fond of the game and each division
boasts of one or more star elevens.
The Twentieth Corps gave very
creditable account of itself some days
ago when it met the champions of
1917, the Associated Franchise, the
game ending with a score of two to
one.
But it is among the younger gen.
Grafton that football has taken firm
er hold. There are more than five hun
drer elevens in Paris alone and every
Sunday about two hundred and fifty
games are decided 1t is estimated
that over one hundred thousand peo-
pie see the games each Sunday.
Before the war the "Ligue de Foot
ball Association" composed of twelve
clubs, played weekly games which
we're attended by numerous enthusi-
asts Of the sport but with the mobili-
cation most of the athletes Joined the
army and during the first few months
of the war they had more serious bus
mess. However, in 915, with the arm

end owing to the close contact with
the British troops, which lost no op-
portunity of enjoying their favorite
pastime, football received an impetus
hitherto unknown in France.
The British government has ordered
cne million footballs for its troops in
France, delivery to be made within
the next six months. Some of them
have already reached France. A new
experiment in footballs has been
made. Owing to the scarcity of leather
tie covers are made of heavy canvass
which has been given chemical treat
ment. The new footballs give salts
fiction, the ball often being in better
condition at the conclusion of the
game than a leather covered bali
would have been if it was subjected
to the same usage
