Hun Scars

Five months in a German prison camp have made Cpl. R. Feeney, 4th Canadian rifles, but native of Johns town, Pa, l.. s. A, see red every time he thinks of a Hun. The Prus- sian is a born brute, he says, and he'll never forgive the dupes of the Hohenzollerns as long as he lives. His experience at Rastatt, more than confirmed a conviction, which ex- plains why he crossed over to Canada and enlisted, long before the United States entered the war
 Corporal Feeney sat up in bed in one of the big, airy dormitories at Eagle Hut, enjoying a fine cup of coffee that a pretty waitress had brought him, with a stack of cakes, like those which pleased King George so much, when he visited Eagle Hut recently. He drew a long, contented sigh of relief and stretched bit. As he did so, his shirt sleeve dropped back. revealing to the girl some ugly looking scars. As she shrank from the sight, the corporal said:
 That's what you get when those brutes of Prussian officers are put over the prisoners of war. If ever l meet another Hun, I'll fix him prop erly-war or no war. Hundreds of our boys died of starvation and neg lect and more would have gone the same way if it hadn't been for the home relief committee and the Amer ican Y. M. C. A., which did wonder full work in providing food and cloth ing. Any one who doesn't appreciate the Y. M. C. A. now, never will, and it's safe to say that he has never been in a German prison camp"

 Bateman's was built about 1760, the architecture being Jacobean, famous for its gables. chimney stacks and warm roof tiling. Mir. Kipling has re- tained. as far as possible, the original outlines of the terraced lawns, the square ponds, the rose gardens and the picturesque outbuildings, now used for his offices, stables, garages, etc. In a central pool. at one end of the house, are boats, and on its edge are rustic seats, about which are woven English ivy. The whole scene is one of natural beauty, not overly kept, but rustic and charming.
 The great hall into which the inter viewer was shown is of the 1760 pc riod The livery, cupboards and oak tables are of lighter and more ele- gent design. The succeeding age of walnut, represented in the Charles II chairs. and Queen Ann china cabinets, are worth examining, as against the dark wooded chests, wall clocks, great high-back chairs and sideboards which compose the principal furnishings of the room.
 Mrs. Kipling received the inter viewer. As is generally known, she is American by birth and raising. marrying the young Anglo-Indian ge- nius when he first left the scenes of his early triumph in India. She re- gently entertained at tea three Amer ican soldiers who ment to Bateman's hoping to see MT. Kipling. He was not at home, but arrived before they left, and was very cordial to them.

 CLEVELAND, Ohio. Jan. 3.-More than 200 war material manufacturers here from all parts of the United States and Canada today organized the Association of Manufacturers of War Materials, with a view to concert ed effort to ask congress to enact legislation which will permit payment by the government of obligations aris- ing from informal contracts entered into under the stress of war eondi- tions
 Unless speedy discharge of these obligations, aggregating over Sl,500.- G00,000 is made possible, serious dis turbances of the country's industrial conditions were predicted
 The manufacturers adopted a resO- lution recommending the immediate passage Of the Dent bill with neces- sary amendment 10 meet the situa- tiOn; asking Secretary of War Baker 10 take steps immediately to check the claims of sub-contIactOTs and urging immediate payment or such amounts as may clearly appear to be due"

Kipling' s Home

Rudyard Kipling. whose genius got beneath the skin of the soldiers as no other writer ever did. says that the soldiers must have plenty of amusement, that there should be a theater in every camp. Breaking his rule about not granting interviews, the creator of Soldiers Three" talked briefly for publication. in praise of the work of Americans to divert the minds of the fighting men. The in- terview was held at the authors se- cluded country home, Bateman's, among the Sussex hills.
 "The Americans have done remark ably well and We all look forward with hope for the future" said Mir. Kipling "I have a great admiration for America and her people; and the part they played in the war is typical of your country. The real stories Of your activities can best be told by the boys from the trenches and camps. The soldiers must have plenty of amusement. They had no time to talk war when out Of the trenches. They want to be entertained"
 Mir Kipling has aged considerably in appearance in the last five years and is quite gray about the temples, according to the interviewer, who ob- tained this statement Nevertheless, the creator of the Jungle Tales" is vigorous and keenly alive to every thing going on in the world despite his selfimposed seclusiOn.
 The country home of the author is tucked away in the Sussex hills, sev- eral miles from Buckingham station. As the interviewer approached the place he caught sight. through the trees. of six tall chimney stacks sur mounting a, long tiled roof and many gables. As the road turns. one sees a gray mass of buildings, nestled in the lap Of the hills.

Give Mining an Even Chance

Now that the war is over, many re strictions on mining development should be removed.
 Owing to government orders large producers were restricted and many small producers suspended entirely.
 Restrictions were necessary in crder 10 win the var and the mining in dustry responded with superb patriot ism.
 Thousands of skilled men and min ing engineers were taken out of de velopment work and sent to the front to help win the war.
 Thousands of mines suspended pro duction and development work to meet the governments demand for man-power
 These mines suspended financial op' eratious and closed up their proper ties until after the war and put their money into the war.
 All restrictions, hindering legitimate development, should now be removed and let the work of opening new mines go ahead.

Warren Park

It is a peculiar fact, that nature reckoned without human nature, when she created her old world.
 To the people of the rolling valleys she gave trees, grass, flowers and water Verdure of the rarest beauty is bestowed on some parts of her great universe.
 In the mountains of the Mule, she painted the golden-hued sunset. She gave rugged scenery, rough, hard hills of rocks, colored beyond the imagination, and split and shattered by fire and shock.
 To the inhabitants of the plains, she denied the beauties of the noun tains, the scenery of barren, rock strewn canyon, the purple blend of glorious sunset.
 Residents of Mule mountains were denied the green fields, the tall, grace ful trees, the flowing streams and canals
 Here it is that nature reckoned without human nature.
 In the Mule mountains of Arizona men wish for the beauties of the roll ing valleys In little yards, rock bordered and rock bottomed, they place rich soil, and nurse precious grass, schrubs and flowers. They care little for the beauties of the mountains and the colors of the sun sets, compared with their precious lit tie greenery.
 Now, in the Warren district, nature is to be forced to supply a greater portion of that which originally she denied. Already a large start has been made in this direction, in the Vista Park at Warren, where two complete blocks of grass and trees and parks have been laid out and carefully nursed into green beauty.
 Within a few months these two blocks will be doubled. Grass and trees and small green brush, parked and plated, will extend from the baseball park directly through the town.
 And it will all be dedicated to the people of tbe Warren district.

.STOCKNEN REJOICE IN WINTER STORMS

Cattlemen of Cochise county, who because of the prolonged drouth had been feeling dispirited over the out look for next year, are beginning to take heart and express optimistic views regarding the spring season. The snowfalls of the last few weeks which have been Tar heavier in the mountains than in the valleys, have caused this change of heart.
 Mack Cleveland a well known cat tleman who was in the city yester- day from his ranch over the Tomb stone canyon divide, felt quite optimis- tic about the spring season, not only believing that the snow would bring out plenty of grass. but because of the severity of the winter. an early spring was coming. This. Mir. Cleveland said, was an Indian sign that seldom failed
 Near the top of the divide, he said, snow had fallen to the depth of three feet.
 Reports received from the Chiri- cahua mountains said that section and the Swisshelm region had been visited by a snow fall which presased plenty of moisture to carry cattle through the spring. With an ordinarily good rainy season next summer, the stock men feel assured of a prosperous wear
