The Only Wildcat on the Job.

Coblenz, Germany-He was brisk
young lieutenant, and he had just ar
rived somewhere in the Third army
area where he had been assigned for
duty, says The Watch on the Rhine,
an A. E. F. publication. He wore on
his left shoulder the design of feline
rampant.
One of the persons he happened upon
who showed interest in him was gen.
eral who seemed to be a man of some
authority over the regiment to which
this lieutenant was assigned.
"What's that you have on your left
shoulder?" asked the ranking one.
"The insignia of a wild cat, SIR"
was the brisk reply.
"Take it off," bawled the ranking
one. "I'm the only wildcat around
here, and I'll do all the bowling that
needs to be DONE"
Which the lieutenant considered as
a sufficient hint.

Marvellous Feats of A. E. F.

On a bright day Of last September
word was received that the infantry
was going over the top without the
aid of barrage. mentioned the fact
to a sergeant who presided over a i
brother gun. He, being a big hearted
lad, thought it suicide for the boys to
go to the attack without the soothing
effect Of hell ripping artillery to pre-
cede them. It did no good to try to
calm Sergeant Speedum by telling him
that the guns had not yet been brought
up save for three, besides that fact
that the nearest ammunition was at
dump 100 yards distant.
Nothing daunted, Sergeant Speed
um's face took on determined grin.
He threw his coat aside and sped to
the dump, secured ammunition and
soon had the three guns splitting fire.
I, thinking the man loco, sat down and
watched proceedings. BY this time
the infantry had started from the
trenches, but, to their surprise, the
barrage was there, The sergeant's
speed was so great that in passing
back and forth from the ammunition
pile the friction of the air against the
shell set off the percussion cap, but,
meeting the predicament, he would un-
screw the mechanism and extinguesh
the spark before the explosive ignited.
In this manner he carried the ammuni-
ton 100 yards Gone shell per trip,
loaded and fired the guns, besides
thoroughly cleaning and oiling the
guns after each dozen shots.
I It seems incredible, but there is au-
thentic proof that the firing was done
so rapidly that it looked as though a
Ipipe line was running from the mouth
of each piece. Though all this seemed
supernatural to me, Sergeant Speedum
crowned the feat, and he would run
. around to the head Of the gun and look
l down it's mouth to see what detained
the shot.
i The infantry obtained their objective
without a casualty. Seeing the boys
well set, the now perspiring sergeant
put on his coat, sat up on rock,
[rolled and lit a cigaret, looked into my
staring awstruck face and said: "Kid,
h don't tell this on me. I could have
done a decent job if it wasn't for the
fact that the ammunition dump you
1spoke of was blown up and I had to
make my own out Of that scrap hear
over on that HILL" which by the way
was 200 yards distant. Leo M. Bund-

Real Relief for the Blind.

According to the Christian princi-
pie, if you fad yourself in bad
plight, you should strive to find others
even less happy that your own hurt
may be cured by relieving the hurts
of others.
When, shortly before the war, Sir
Arthur Pearson lost his eyesight and
was compelled to relinquish his chief
work Of conducting several daily
newspapers, he at first went abroad,
hoping, no doubt, by change of ASSOC,
citation to temper the affliction that
had come upon him. B.
every quickly I realized" he tells
us, "that it is the blind man who,
above all, needs occupation, and that
the more active, the more normal he
can make his life, the happier he will
be-"
Sir Arthur also found that blind
people receive "too much pity for their
blindness and not enough sympathy
with their human natures It began
to occur to him that in the past the
blind had been treated in the wrong
manner. Why impress upon blind
man the idea that he is terribly af-
f1icted?
Out of his own experience in the
world Of the blind, Sir Arthur devel-
oped his own theory as to how the blind
should be treated; and so, when the
great war broke out and hundreds of
blinded men began to be sent back.
from the front, he conceived the idea
of furnishing for these sightless SOL
diers little world in which the words
"aff1iction" and "pity" should never be-
heard, and in which it would be; posi-
BILE to escape, through re-education,
from that passive half-life which
seemed so commonly accepted as in
evitab1e." /
In February, 1915, Otto Kahn, the
American fnancier, placed his resi-
dence, St. Dunstan's, in Regent Park,
London, at the disposal of the blind
journalist; and it is there that Sir.
Arthur has worked out his great
dream. {
His newly published book, "Victtry
Over Blindness" tells how hundreds Of
men have Learned to be blind" at St..
Dunstan's; how they have been taught
to read; how they were trained in
various occupations, from stenography
to basket-weaving; and how, having
finished the training at this hostel Of
the blind, THEY were helped to posi-
lions in the great outer world.
Here is a very remarkable book.

Watterson on the League.

VoCCCA SON <OA CAtC AS06u NC
Colonel Henry Watterson, veteran
journalist, old-school democrat and
president of the league for the pres.
ervation of American independence
has this to say about the league OF
nations:
"'The proposed league of nations is
in my opinion, scheme to have the
United States pull England's chest
nuts and the chestnuts Of France out
of the fire.
"It would have US underwrite the
conclusions of Europe. The bedrock
of the religion of humanity from which
it springs is laid in the chimera Of
racial brotherhood, and the chimera
of racial brotherhood is laid in the
visionary theories of self-exploiting
philosophers more learned in books
than in life.
"America should stand as refuge
of hope as an example of wisdom to
the beleagured Of all lands. We are
strong enough to make our isolation
effective to punish the selfish and pro-
tect the stricken, and we shall only
weaken our moral power and inter-
national influence by high sounding
verbal covenant and one-sided foreign
alliances that, whilst raising many
responsibilities, put us at universal
disadvantage"

The Father of Baseball.

The father of baseball was Abner
Doubleday, who was born at Ballston,
Spa, N. Y, 100 years ago, and died in
Mendham, N. j., in 1893. He was a
distinguished general Of the union
army in the civil war, but his greatest
claim to fame is as the inventor of
Americas favorite pastime. It was
while a student at Cooperstown, N. Y,
that he originated the game to which
the name Of baseball was given, and
was an adaptation and development Of
the. older sports Of "rounder" and
sstownball."
The crude pastime contrived by Dou-

FOREIGN BANK BILL
PASSED BY SENATE

The Senate yesterday afternoon
passed the Edge bill, authorizing the
creation Of corporations to hnance
foreign trade, without a record vote.
The bill was materially AMENDED
By the Senate so that it would pro
vide for American control of the cor
porations, and would also make these
corporations subject to the banking
laws Of the United States rather than
the banking laws of the countries
wherein the corporations will oper-
ate. An amendment which provides
for double liability of the stockhold-
ers to the extent of their stockhold-
ing was also passed by the Senate.
Senator Gronna Of North Dakota
led the fight for the amendment OF
the bill, and just before the conclu-
sion Of the consideration OF the meas
ure he declared that he was satisfied
with the action taken by the Senate
to amending the bill, despite the fact
that he charged that large money
interests were opposed to amending
the bill

REVENUE
SHOWS HUGE GAIN

Total collections Of internal rsve-
nue. from all sources for the fiscal
year ended June so. 1919, amounted
to a total of $3,s3e. .95O. .612O5, an in
crease over'191s OF $145.S3O, 1888. ac-
.cording to a preliminary statement
Of the Commissioner Of Internal Rev
enue4 made public yesterday.
Collections from income and excess
profit taxes for 1919 amounted to
S2,596,oOs ,TO2.I0 as compared with
Sc, ,s39. .027, ,95s.5I for 1918. a decrease
Of $243.O10. .235.s7. Tie original esti-
mate OF receipts from these sources
for 1919 was S4.TO7 900 900. but the
revenue bill OF 1918 provided for pay
ment OF these taxes IL the taxpayer
so elected, in four equal installments
beginning with March Is, or the date
Of filing the return and in three sub
sequent installments due on or be-
fore June 10. September IS, and De-
cember Is. It will thus be seen that
the last two payments fall due in
the fiscal year 1920, which explains
the decrease in the collections made
during 1919. 1t is estimated that the
two remaining payments will amount
to approximately s.. 1000, 100000. which,
added to the receipts for 1919, will
bring the amount close TO the orig
inal estimate.
