Heroic Red Cross Doctors.

Few incidents will stir Americans
with more justified satisfaction than
the conduct of two American doctors
at Annel, an outpost of Compiegne, on
the night Of March 25. The patients
Of their hospital had been evacuated
the preceding night. The French sur
geons and all the nurses were gone.
The Germnns were within n half.dozen
kilometcrs and advancing. Heavy ar.
tillery, set in the hospital grounds
made n terrific din. But the American
ambulance sections kept on coming to
Annel Chateau. They did not know
where else 10 go. Two Red Cross
doctors. Major Tarnowsy and Major
MOrehead, stayed on in the deserted
chateau. Two canteen women volunteer
ed from -r>ompeigne. The two doctors
kept on operatlng, the canteen women
handing them instruments and dress
ings, the Red Cross truck drivers hold
ing candles and bringing in and carry
ing out the wounded. A day and q
night and second day the two doc
tors operated. The crisis passed. The
regular attendants returned. the ron.

NAPoLEON'S MAxIMS or WAR
Rules Laid Down by Great Soldier
Were Followed Almost Literally
by General Foch.

Napoleon was a prolific war maxim
maker. His maxims number more
than hundred. Many of them are as
true today as when they were made,
observes London Answers.
"In war;" said Napoleon. there is
never more than one favorable mo.
ment. The great art is to seize II and
use 1t we'll"
Foch seized the Favorable moment"
and in month not only saved the sit
uation. but turned the tables on the
enemy. He concentrated his troops
and acted with energy" as Napoleon
laid down.
Commonscnse - the application of
wisdom TO circuriStances-is FOch's
maxim. as it was NapOleon's. Naro-
Icon has written: "Plans may be mod
fled ad infnitum according to circum-
stances. the genius Of the general, the
character of IN" troops, and the fea-
lures Of the country"
Napoleon insisted upon the study o.
past campaigns. "The science of
strategy" he said, 'is to be acquired
by experience and studying the cam
paicnS of all great captains"
Foch haS been lifelong student OF
military history. In the spring he was
acting up tn Napoleon's dictum-"the
measure which is not profoundly
moditated in all it's details produces
no result" When Foch was ready he
dared at the right moment" For 20
years past Foch has been profoundly
medtatnc" the details of the strategy
which has given him such signal sue
cess.

Amethysts will he much worn In
this country during the postwar pc
riod as mourning jewelry. Amethysts
and Jet are the most widely used
mourning stones. The vogue of anne
thysts in the mourning was fixed after
the FrancO-Prussian war, when the
gems became popular in France and
Germany.
An abundance of good amethysts are
found in the mountain region Of the
western United States. The best anne
thysts come from Cambay, in India,
from Ceylon, Persia and Siberia. There
are also large amethyst mines In
Uruguay. The war, which curtailed
imports of all gems to the United
States, gave American amethysts wild
er market than they ever had before.

Woodrow Wilson. There has new

humble servant was tickling the

and voice some where in the dis
lance said Your Country needs an

the paper will be Democratic as it
always has been.

service without the encouragement
and cooperation of the people, so

SPOILED BIG WEDDING FEAST
How Ex-German Emperor Upset Din.
ner on Which Herr Balm Had
Spent Much Money.

Herr BALM was noted for the ex-
travagant dinners which he gave on
great occasions, says the Edinburgh
Scotsman. Probably the most maglifi.
cent of all was that which he arrar ged
to grace the wedding Of the kais er's
daughter to the duke of Brunswick.
The floral decorations alone cost S10,-
600. the dinner worked out at about
$50 plate. and the wines mt sbout
$50. But the dinner. from Herr Bal
Inns point of view, was failure, for
the kaiser and kaiserin, who were TO
afternoon that they could not come;
and it was in their honor. of course,
that Herr Ballin had spent his thou
sands on the banquet. one of his
servants has said that when Herr Bal
lin received the message that the en-
peror could not come, he flew into n
tremendous rage. He sent for his
butler, and ere the man had reached
Herr Ballin's study, his master shouted
out to him: "The emperor cannot come
to dinner tonight-put the whole show
OF" and then slammed the door. The
butler did not know exactly what to
do. To put off so important guests as
were to be present was, of course, an
impossibility; but no one in the house
hold dared to approach the master OF
II to suggest this. However, at about
o'clock Herr BALM had sufficiently
recovered his temper TO come down
stairs and give some necessary direc-
tiOns about the banquet.
