COBLENZ, April 5-The Fest Halle
of this city on the Rhine never saw a
livelier, noisier, happier party than 1t
did tonight when the soldiers Of the
Third Army gave their second weekly
costume dance. More than 1000
men on leave in the city joined with
the men stationed here in putting so
much jazz into the dance that the
stolid German ghosts of the Halle
early rose up their hind legs and
busted away from there.
The dancers came In all kinds of
costumes. Some they made them
selves; some they borrowed, and
many came from the wardrobes Of
the municipal theatre. There were
Pierrots and Pierrettes, Irishmen Of
the Chauncey Olcott period, Brunn-
hides and Kremhildes and other Ger
man Hildas, monks, bishops, warriors
bold Of the days when men made love
with war clubs and meat axes, clowns
and Just plain soldiers with no more
makeup than smile and an ambition
to show the several hundred specta-
tors that they could shake a mean
leg, even in hobnails." The prize win
ming dancers were Pvt Ira Burns Of
Evacuation Hospital No. 2 and Balti-
more, and Pvt. William McGrail Of
Evacuation Hospital No. 6, and Gin
ton, Mass. Carroll Ferguson Of the
18th Engineers and Brooklyn, took the
prize for the best costume. He was
a fetching Pierrette. Tony Hunting
and Corinne Francis of the well-known
vaudeville team. Hunting and Francis.
and for several months entertainers
on the Y M. c. A. circuit, helped the
soldiers get into their strange clothes
and to make them up for the competi-
ton.
The band of the 55th Pioneer Inf.
furnished the music, and the dancers
simply wouldn't let the band rest un-
til Wayland Wilcox and his assist
ants, who are running the Fest Halle
for the soldiers and the Y. M. C. A.,
brought in real American ice cream
and real American cakes. After the
refreshments the band had to start
again, and it was 10 o'clock before the
music stopped and the dancers reluct-
antly decided to call it an evening.
The costume dance has now be-
come a weekly attraction. 1t threat

now COLD STORAGE FACILITIES
WERE DEVELOPED BY PACKERS

OF the country great enterprises for
the prompt dispatch OF business. Can
you imagine a civil service protected
government Official getting up before
daylight and rushing his breakfast to
accommodate Tom, Dick and Harry
to get their hogs over the scales at
the opening Of the market, in all
weathers, and to lose sleep because
OF inadequate facilities which a
wrangling congress failed to provide.
You can't. you say? well neither can
we. That the packers own stock in
the stock yards is foregone conclu-
sion and no one has better right, in
our view, nor does any one need that
these facilities be keyed to the high
est pitch at all times, regardless Of
cost. But the packers say they will
be willing to sell out their stock yard
interests to the government, or to any
one, who will guarantee to provide
equally good facilities and to keep the
plants down-to-date for the transac.
ton OF business. They can all find
use for the money paid them, in their
own business, and would need to Dor
row less from year to year. As a
matter OF fact the packers do not own
any Of the big central stock yards and
many persons not identified with
packing house interests do own such
stock, just as the packers do.
Engaged in Many Lines.
A chapter might be written, in
structively. as to the interests pack
ers have In other than strictly pack
ing house products and resultant by
products. This is a large theme in
itself, deserving Of sepcial considera-
ton. And 1t has had that considera-
ton on the part of men with whom
they come into competition, not to the
public detriment, however, as the
packers explain. Their vast cold
storage spaces and facilities for dis
tribution and marketing largely ex-
plains this expansion The problem
is too wide in scope and too far.reach-
ing in its effect to be considered here.
1t is not part of our subject but it
has been Of benefit to thousand com.
munities which have benefited by the
distribution of various fruits and food
products in the packers refrigerator

the country.

those who stood for the treaty is q peculiar one. It is possible that he acted courageously in defense of what he believed to be right. This IS, in a way, laudable. But a senate, should remember, and too often they forget, that their own opinions should not take precedence over those of their constituents, when there is no more doubt as to how their constituents feel than there was in the matter of the wishes of the people of Tennessee and the treaty.
 Vardaman in Mississippi had T stronger hold on the people of that state than Shields ever had on the people of Tennessee. Vardaman misinterpreted the wishes of tht in regard to the war Today Vardaman is dead forever in Mississippi politics. Shields might take warning.

IDLENESS X CRIME.

likeness is crime. Deliberate idleness is unpatriotic during the days when reconstruction adds its burdens to the usual load of govern ment. No man in good health has any right to be consistently idle in the days when decreased production is doing so much to push even high CT the already high cost of living. Every able bodied man owes it to him. self and to the country to keep his brain and brawn employed in some useful line. It is criminal to be n loafer, an offense against pubic policy, and plain violation of law in many states. Ohio has law that sends a man to the penitentiary for being a tramp and men are in the big prison doing service for trampine and begging during the war.
 likeness in cities brings groups of loafers together, and from these groups come the young men and boys who are being sent in such large numbers to the Ohio penal in- stitutions. If these young men had been employed, either voluntarily or through police court pressure, there would have been decrease in of- lenses. and consequent saving in the awful wastage of man power anJ time in prison.
 There are laws against idlenesS and vagrancy in Ohio that should b' applied with vigor. It would hell nut a stop to any crime wave fol the mid-winter season.-Ohio State Journal.

World Convention of the w. c. T. U. to
 Meet in London

London, Nov. 21.-New signifi- canoe will be attached to the Trien- nial worlds convention of the Wo- mems Christian Temperance union, to be held in London next April. For the first time in the history of the organization delegates from many countries will assemble in possession of voting power and able to bring di- rect political weight to bear on their problems.
 The British Women's Temperance association is preparing for the meeting. The last worlds confer ence was held in the United States six years ago. In the years that have elapsed since, it is cliamed, the movement has made marked strides tho it's routine work has been partly checked by the diversion of many members to war activities.
 Miss Agnes Black who is super vising arrangements for the London conference, has been assured that, in connection with the meeting, tenn perance sermons will be preached in St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral. The Salvation army intends dealing with the organization work in spe- cial services in every one of its halls thruout the world.
 The home office has instructed British consuls in South America ana eastern countries to give facilities for the delegates coming to England.

ANGELES.

General Felipe Angeles, artillery expert, diplomat, soldier and stud ent, and regarded as the chief in- tellectual leader of the Villista for ces, is likely to be executed by the Mexican authorities who have cap tured him.
 When the Mexican federals kill Angeles they will have slain one of the biggest men that Mexico has had in the last quarter of century.
 There is much doubt as to whether Angeles was, as the Mexicans claim, an enemy of the state. On the oth- CT hand his claim to have been throughout all the years a patriot, is pretty well-established. It is true that he cast his lot with Villa, a bandit chief, and that his associates for years have been bandits and out laws. But it is also true that he al lied himself with them principally because he believed that by doing So he could do the greater good Tor Mexico. He regarded Carranza and his associates as worse enemies of Mexico than Villa and his band. And developments have shown that be- tween Carranza, recognized presi" dent of Mexico, and his enemies there is very little to choose. The pity of it is that in the fight between these two selfish adyenturers such men as Angeles, and Mexico has few enough of his sort, should be allowed to play the role of martyr, and give up for a worthless chief battling against another equally as worthless a life that might have done much for the good of Mexico.

Rise in Price of

 of Great Concern

London, Nov. 21.-The rise in the price of silver is being watched with much anxiety here. Already the price per ounce is almost equivalent to the face value of the coins them selves. If that point is passed it would pay to melt the coins down and sell the metal.
 This would be state of affairs in English history. France has already encountered this grave difficulty, the silver in a franc be'~~ worth more than franc.
