Notice.

An appeal has been made by tpc Urt-
ed States Government to its patriotic
citizens to place at the disposal Of the
Government as much wheat flour as pos
sble that it or its equivalent in volume
may at once be shipped to our troops
abroad and the allies. Whatever amount
of flour is now so contributed in Wiscon-
sin enables an equal amount to be re-
leased for foreign shipment.
There are Z large number of loyal
American citizens who will be pleased to
avail themselves Of this opportunity to
return all surplus or excess OF supplies Of
flour they may now have. Many will
gladly make sacrifices in making such re-
turns.
There are unfortunately others who
must be reminded that there is a spe-
cifc federal law against boarding" who h
provides a penalty OF $4,000 fine or two
years Imprisonment or both for hoarders.
Chose who have more than their reas-
enable needs, particularly applicable now
to hour.)
A final opportunity is now given to
such persons to surrender their surplus
of -four and thus protect themselves
against the possibility Of prosecution in
the federal court. But we know that the
feeling of our Wisconsin people is such
that they will respond without drastic ac-
ton. At this moment, our boys-your
sons and relatives-are fighting with their
backs against the wall against the in
vading German hordes. The French
people and the French armies have had
their rations cut down to the bone and
even our boys during this terrible struggle
now going on are in danger of being out
of food if we do not respond to the call of
our government.
All dour dealers are asked to receive
all dours returned to them The -four
so returned and used by dealers will be
charged against their allotment
The dealer to whom -four is returned
by consumers thereof is urged to accept
it whether purchased from him or not;
but must accept it if the -four was pur-
chased from him.
The dealer may pay the cost to the
person so offering returned flour provid-
ed such price does not exceed twelve
dollars per barrel.
The maximum price of twelve dollars
(basis) to be paid in cash or trade at the
election of the buyer, (dealer) shall be
subject to the following mill differentials
according to styles Of package.

Please remember that every pound of
flour that is returned, or its equivalent,
will actually be sent to our soldiers at the
front, and that the amount of flour re-
ceived by the merchant and redistributed
by him will be deducted from his allot-
ment just in proportion to the amount
that is turned over to hm. The state
ment that food will win the war was

one Of them showed tall mass of sheep
skin, whence spurted the barrel of rife.
All six were crowned with the green
topped caps Of astrakhan.
"Faltering and rocking in the ashen
whirlwinds, they waved their long arms
like the sails of windmill, made the sign
of the cross and pointed their black faces
to right, to left and the big troubled eyes
they opened wide were rathke."
ImmObiIity shows a curiously planned
murder, done by a man Who has for a
year pretended to be helpless paralytie
unable to move n finger and who is never
suspected till he is seen one night counting
the stolen gold. =
There are dramatic situations and vivid
character pictures in the stories illustra-
tive Of the madness of love. 1t is never
happy love that Barbusse writes of, never
anything but cruel loss and ultimate
despair.
In the tales grouped under the theme Of
pity we get the most distinctive work Of
the book. These studies IN sympathy are
genuinely moving and give us a mournful
new realization Of the pain. the needless
pain, that exists in the world. Barbusse
has a deep sympathy with the sufferings
of animals and tells many tragical stories
Of beasts There is Saar, for instance, the
big greyhound who is left stranded on an
inland guarding flock of sheep and who
starves to death, but will not harm one of
his charges. LGHfHrlu tells of famous
race horse who dies m pathetic, neglected
old age. The Other World pictures a
great bull in the arena; The Brother is a
story Of an ass who loves his masters
memory; The Mort shows a tragic stag
at bay; The One Gr0pn Old tells of
dogs melancholy and so on. These stories
and sketches have dramatic and artistic
interest and commend themselves to read
ers of the modern short story.
The phrasing is particularly apt and
novel in its unhackneyed freshness. IS
few sentences may illustrate. 9Th child

The Inferno, a neurotic study of life seen
through hole in the wall, has had pub
lishad a vivid volume Of his short stories

mEe has something of the brutal realism
Of Under Fire, lacking the eroUcism Of
The Inferno and is distinctly interesting,
though with morbidity that is painful.
The stories. show a force out Of the
ordinary and remind the reader of certain
aspects of de Maupassant's genius. They
have a relentless realism, naked simple
ity, power of description that are i'm
pressive. They are classified under three
heads-Fate, The Madness Of Love and
PITY. In the first section are tales that
chow man as a toy in the hands Of cruel
destiny, incapable of ordering his life and
unable to escape the descending doom.

soldiers incorporated with the Bulgarian

"A Chance ia Live"

n OF BECkLEY in 4 chance 10 L,cc
IL has written the biography Of Annie
Hargan, who began life as little
mother of the East Side, became a fac
tory hand, Office girl and the struggling
mother Of four in due time, finding to her
chagl1n that she was about TO begin all
over again when she had reached this
point. 1t differs from the Elizabeth Hasa
novlch sort of thing, in having a Gen
tile and an American for heroine, and
although it covers much of the same
murky ground it differs also in the au-
thor's lack of personal bitterness, however
bitter the facts Of such a book must nee
essarily be. Annie Hargan decides after
years of narrowing experiences that 1.-The
answer is not smashing things. 1t ought
TO be. People ought not to be treated as
they are, / grant you that And making
fuss ought to mend matters, / also grant
you that. But things are not as they
ought to be; theyre as they are. And the
way to beat them is TO 90 ,cith them till
yOn get somewhere. Then when YOU have
got somewhere you can do something TO
help change things"
Zoe Beckley's style is exceedingly good,
As a large number Of people have had oc-
easion to discover from her newspaper
work, and her characters are real. Par
tlcularly well drawn is Aunt Moggic, who,
like many maiden aUnts, had chosen the
path of single blesscdness only to have
her married sisters burdens and children
thrust upon herl And of course there is
Annie. Miss Bcckley is fortunate in hav-
ing Kathleen Norris's introduction to
prejudice her readers from the start in
favor of zone small. ambitious, wistful,
life hungry girl, lost in the lower regions
of New York, Ike a hundred thousand
others, climbing and hoping in spite of
the pitfalls and despairs that we leave in
the path Of such girls"
The best part of the book is the frs
few chapters. Annie the child furnishes
more engrossing reading han. Annie the
woman, or shall we say d more cngrossing
variety of reading, and, generally speak
ing, more popular. The most disappoint-
ing thing about it as whole is the lack of
humor Miss Beekley shows US that she
can be funny and then deliberately re.
Trains from being so.

Wilbur Cranes Handicap
By GORDON B. MOSS.

4 MAN who spent nearly live years
\ IN prison because be was falsely
accused an convicted Of forgery Is the
central figure in WiLW Cranes HGnd'-
cap, by John Maxwell Forbes. Needless
to say, Wilbur Crane, whose name
sounds uneommonly IKE that of a well
known movie actor, is the wronged man
who comes back, and that he does feet
foremost. The last we see of Wilbur he
has the girl under one arm, $4,000 in his
poekct~and the dazzling vision before his
eyes of the real culprit doing two years
time for each year of his Imprisonment.
What beautiful day it must have been
for Wilbur Hear the band,
TFiIbr Cranes Handicap has the
iuality of being extremely readable. 1t
moves quickly and carries the reader along
with its smoothness. But as for plot, it is
, novel without novelty; rather a patch
kOrk of time honOred, threadbare ideas
thich the author has combined. Possibly
The one innovation is having a raft on
which are some unhappy survivors Of
wrecked steamship drift southwark into
he tropies-against the Gulf Stream!
However, why let things like that be an

kick over the traces of reality and make
his hero a superman7 Wilbur Cranes
Handicap viii be read to the end by all
who start It.
When Wilbur Crane was released from
prison he went TO Boston and lOafed about
the waterfront. He learned of a plot to
destroy a vessel of Martell & Burke,
his old employers. Burke, the unscrupu-
lous partner, was at the bottom OF it. He
hoped to recover $780, insurance on a
1000 cargo Villainl
To his horror Crane learned that Jessie
Martell, whom be had thought coolies Of
before his incarceration, was to take a
South American trip on the steamship.
He slowed away in the hold, was dis
covered, Owed overheard to save drown
ing child, and for his bravery was el-
evated to the position Of stoker. Four
hours on and four off
He saw Jessie but she did not recognize
him. She believed him still to be making
little ones of the big ones, or whiskbrooms.
Then he caught sight of Don Burke, his
former hated rival and the eontemptuous,
sneering, petted son Of old Burke. A mis-
take had been MI! He was aboard the
wrong ship. Old Burke would never sac
rifce his son.
There Is a wreck, then the raft, with
fights over the distribution of food and
water. This part of the story is a bit
but there comes relief eventu- <
ally and the crew, girl and reader are
saved.
1t viii be necessary to read the book to
earn how Crane finally fooled Burke's,
plans, and how almost single handed he
sailed steamship hundreds of miles into
Buenos Ayres. Wilbur Crane undeni-
ably started the story with handicap,

public mind.
 One of the favorite topics Is for a woman to spread a report of the ter rible conditions of our training camps, and to get the mothers and wives of the selected men worked up to such a stage that they will spread the story. Of course, the story is false hood from beginning to end, for while, of course, in so large company or men there will be some sickness the conditions of the men in camp Is far better than it was when they were in civil life. The food served to them is often more plentiful than that re- ceived at home by hundreds of them. Falsehoods concerning the Red Cross and its work are circulated in the giving to that wonderful society which has done so much to tighten the suf- fering of mankind. Gradually the American people have come to realize the origin of these stories and have either refused to repeat them or have traced them to their liar-always a man or woman of pro-German mind.
 Another and more dangerous class of spies are those who by some means at Washington, or in our Navy Yards, and camps learning the plans of cam paign or the time of the sailing of transports.
 As they have plenty of money at their command if they fail to get in at these places they make it their

 Founded Quarter Of A Century
 The Legion of Loyal Women was formed a quarter of a century ago by a group of three hundred Washing ton women belonging to the Potomac Corps of the Women's Relief Corps of the Grand Army of the Republic, who sought to broaden the scope of their work. The object of the organ ization was ''to unite for mutual im- provement; to \ extend aid to such widows and orphans of ex-Union sol diers, sailors and marines, and others as may need our assistance; and to provide convenient ways and means for the furtherance of such objects"
 The society was, further, to dissem- mate information relating to objects for which it was formed, and to pro- mote true patriotism and love of coun-

business to get acquainted with some talkative individual who is employed there, invite him to dinner and take him to places of amusement, in this way gaining his confidence and get. ting him to tell all he knows, report ing the result each day to the man higher up. These spies are clever at putting two and two together and often the work of 8 dozen or more men is required in learning some ap- parently simple thing, but when fitted in with the reports of other spies gives the desired information.
 Follow This Advice
 Apropos of this several of the most important branches of the Federal employees advising them to beware of enemy spies and to exercise care in conversing about Government works with fellow employees and others, especially chance sacquaintances and strangers about whom they know nothing.
 One of these which might be ob- served by all Americans as well as Government employees reads as fol- lows:
 Do not trust anyone whom you do not know. Do not forget that enemy agents or friends of enemy agents will attempt to draw from you in one way or another information for direct or indirect use by the German Govern ment. Do not forget that enemy
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-06-15

spies or agents seldom advertise them selves as such. They may not even be of German nationality The most polite stranger or casual acquaint- ance who may offer you cigar or have you at lunch with him may be the one who is engaged in enemy activity of one kind or another.
 Do not let anyone, either friend or stranger, draw you into arguments or entrap you into giving any informa- tion bearing in any manner on the activities of the military forces of the United States.
 Do-not talk with anyone about what you have done or what you are going to do, not even to your best friends or members of your own family. I'm portant information sometimes leaks out through so-called "conf1dential" conversations with your friends or ac- quaintances who talk "confidentially'' to others and finally the information may get to an enemy of the Govern. ment.
 Do not forget to report to your superior officers at once any person who tries to get information from YOU or from anyone else in your hear. ing. -'.
 Do not fail to observe all suspicious persons and report any suspected ac. tivity of the enemy.
 Do not forget that 1t is better tc talk too little than too much and that secrecy means safety. Your
