SPARROWS' NESTS IN A SHIP
Attracted by Grain and Not at All AZ
fected by Noise, Birds Make
Home There.

A large tramp steamer had been
tOwed into northeast coast port for
repairs. After having discharged her
cargo Of grain, she was placed in a
dry dock, situated in the middle Of a
large ship-repairing establishment,
with all the usual accompaniment Of
noise from pneumatic hammers, steam
whistles, shouting Of men, and other
noises common to all such works.
The grain, of which there is always
a good deal left about after the holds
are swept up, attracted the sparrows
in large numbers, and, as if guided by
instinct, they commenced to build
nests in various parts Of the ship.
Undeterred by the noise or by the
constant going and coming Of the
workmen, they reared their broods
before the repairs were completed,
and the vessel sailed. This is believed
to be unique case, for although the
sparrow is bold bird, it needed some
pluck to undertake home building in
such circumstances. The workmen ad-
mired the pluck of these boisterous,
cheeky birds, and watched the proceed
ings to the flight of the young birds
with great interest.

Washington.-The supreme court
held that the Reed "bone-dry" proni-

state transportation into dry states of
intoxicating liquor for beverage pur-
poses even when intended for per-

AS interpreted by the court. the iaw

Justice McReynolds, in a. dissent

Clark, declared the Reed amendment

LESSON FOR HUMAN BEINGS.
World Might Be Better If Mankind
Would Copy the Doings of the
Honey Ant.

An interesting resident Of central
Australia is the honey ant. This in
sect Is found in dugouts going dowt
as far as five or six feet. The opens
Ing is small, about an inch across, buf
If you did out one of the nests you will
find tunnels and crosscuts running
from the main shaft. In one or more
Of these chambers Is found the true
honey ant. The ordinary workers run
the show as a cooperative concern
They collect the honey, bring it tt
the nest, and there feed it to certain
members of the clan. The sweet stuff
is forced into these animated pantriea
until the abdomen becomes SO large
that the remainder of the ant Is fly
speck on it. The swollen ones are abs
solutely helpless, and have to remain
in the chambers. When the honey
season slackens off the community
falls back ON their cold-storage supply
A prod In the abdomen Of the honey
ant, and that patient servant Of the
camp disgorges his accumulated fOd-
der and once more resumes normal
proportions.

| treatment for the German dead only
emphasizes the need that Germany
pay for the dissertation Of the graves
of the allied soldiers committed by her
troops in France.
Further Display of Impudence.
Just at the edge of the little French
city of st. Mihiel, held by the Ger
mans for four years and retaken by
the American troops late last summer,
is a German cemetery that stands as
an insult to the French people. Here
are buried large number of German
officers. In this cemetery the German
government erected magnificent
marble shaft commemorating the valor
of these German officers, and over the
graves stand elaborate marble and
granite monuments erected to the
memory of these German officers.
These monuments have been erected
on what has always been French soil,
and they stand there as one of the
greatest pieces of impudence commit
ted by the German nation in this war.
This is but another of the many,
many incidents that add to the seri-
BUSINESS Of the crimes committed by
the Boche, and for which he should
pay.
A very considerable portion Of the
soil Of Belgium and northern France
is today given over to the graves of
soldiers of the allies, and these sol
der boys would not be dead, these
graves would not be there, millions of
homes would not today be in mourn
ing, had not selfish people started
war for the purposes of conquest and
loot; war conducted with all the
wantonness and cruelty of savages.
Why should they not pay, and pay,
and pay, until they find that an IN
holy war, such as they waged, is the
most Improbable business in which
man can engage?

GERMANY MUST PAY

Millions of Murders.
CANNOT PAY FOR LIVES LOST
Nation Must Be Forced to Pay and

BY WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

There are in France and Belgium
today very close to 100000 soldier
graves that would not have been there
had Germany not started a war of con-
quest to crafty the selfish ambitions OF
a selfish people for world domination.
In these graves are buried the
heroes of America, of England, of
France, of Belgium, of Italy, of Can
ada, of Australia, of South Africa. of
India, of Portugal, of Morocco, of
China and other parts Of the world.
These heroes gave their lives that the
cruelty selfish plans of the Boche
might be defeated; that the world
might be a dwelling place for freemen
and not for the slaves of autocracy.
And the war in which they made

punish the nations that have commit
ted the most terrible crimes known to
modern times, at least, by making the
people of these nations work only that
they may pay.
Among the saddest sights to be
found in the battle areas of Europe
today Is the lonely grave, the little
cross that stands by itself and marks
the spot where a soldier met death by
stray shell. There were many, many
thousands Of these seen along the
sides of the thousand miles of road
ways l covered In Belgium and north
ern France, and in very many cases
they marked the spot where a German
shell had caught transport driver as
he guided his truck to or from the
front. The boys who lie in these lone
ly graves were heroic American boys,
heroic French boys, heroic British
boys, and they have paid the great
price that the Boche might not de-
stroy the freedom of the world They
gave their all, and whatever the Boche
may be made to pay will be small in
comparison with this sacrifice.
Near what was the city of Noyon
one may see a striking comparison be-
tween the methods of the Boche and
those of the nations that have been
fighting the Germans. Here lie buried
side by side both French and German
soldiers. Around each cemetery the
French have built a fence. Over each
French grave flies French flag, and
on each German grave green boughs
have been placed by the French. Such

the last great sacrifice was started by
Germany only to crafty the selfish
greed of people who had been taught
that might is right.
I realized the tragic interest of
America in these graves as l walked
over the hilltop at Guillimont farm,
near the village Of Bony, and found
there two large cemeteries in which
American dead lie buried. I realized
it anew as Gen. Henry Rawlinson,
commanding the Fourth British army,
recounted to me the incidents of that
battle in which American troops made
the first break in the Hindenburg line,
and when he told me of the wonderful
gallantry of those American boys, "the
most gallant troops that ever fought
on battlefield"
Today more than 1000 of those gal
liant American boys are buried in sol
der graves on that battlefield, and lit
tie wooden crosses mark their resting
places.
Severe Lesson for Germany.
German money cannot pay for those
lives, but that spirit Of greed, of wan
tonness, Of selfish ambition, that pro-
duced the senseless, needless war in
which they died, must be crushed, and
it can be crushed only by making the
German pay, and pay, and pay, until
he has learned that might is not right
and that war for the purposes of con-
quest and domination is not profitable.
An American regiment, to which I
had belonged some years ago, and in
which were enrolled many personal
friends, had fought on that field. AS
I walked beside the long rows of
wooden crosses, and knew that some
of them marked the resting places Of
my friends, felt, as any other Ameri-
can would have felt under the same
conditions, that Germany must pay in
might is not right.
l am sure that every father, every
mother, every brother, every sister,
every relative and friend of those
American boys who are buried on Eu-
ropean battlefields will feel that Ger
the desolation she has caused through
out the world.
There is on the Somme battleflelds,
not far from what once was the beau
tiful little city of Peronne, a soldiers
cemetery in which British troops are
buried. On each little wooden cross
had been painted the name Of the sol
der buried beneath it, as we'll as the
letter Of his company and the number
Of his battalion. In the onrush Of the
Huns last March this cemetery was
taken, and the wanton cruelty Of the
Boche Is nowise better illustrated than
by the fact that he went through that
cemetery and painted out the names
Of these British dead.
Should Pay to the Limit.
Should the Boche not pay for such
dastardly work as that? Should he
not pay for attempting to deprive the
relatives and friends Of those British
soldiers of knowing their final resting
place, even though, thanks to the Brit
ish graves commission, the attempt
will not be successful? He must pay
the penalty just as any other criminal
must pay the penalty for his crimes.
The world cannot send an entire ma
ton to Jail, bur the world can today

ARSENAL and
SILvIS SHOPS
SHOW COLORS
Ssad Largest Delegations Repre-
senting Interests TO
Tabernacle.

From the platform it looked like
il was $3.50 in the size of the two
big delegations at the Sunday tab
ernscle last evening; the employees
OF the Rock Island arsenal and the
employees of the Silvis shops.
But by actual count the arsenal
people had it on the Silvis delega-
ton for the former numbered 5000
while the latter was something less
than that. These are the largest
single shop delegations that have
as yet taken part in the Sunday
meetings and they made a splendid
showing as they rose to their feet
at the invitation of Rodey, in fact
it looked as if the entire audience
was made up of employees from
these two shops.
The arsenal people had boys
drum corps to help in their demon
stTation and they sang America"
and Hold the Fort" with the as
sistance of the choir and audience
although they could have done it
S&ry we'll themselves.
IN duQlLiOn 10 the SlINiS anu dI-
senal delegations there were
number of other groups Of people
that occupied reserved seat sec
tions and included among these
were: 100 West Davenport boys,
200 brotherhood men, $50 Moline

people. $50 Moline Union Congre-
gationaI people, boys class First

ranged, though the latter people
