ONE OF WARS GREAT DEEDS
Crossing Of ST. Quentin Canal by Brit
ish Troops Conceded to Be
Remarkable Exploit.

Probably one of the most remark
able exploits of the war was the cross
ing of the ST. Quentin canal by a
brigade of South Stafford and North
Stafford (British) troops in the course
Of the advance on Cambria. The
canal is a landmark in the country
for miles around because of its dimen-
sions, and just where the crossing was
effected the waterway runs for some
distance between very steep and high
banks covered in some parts by dense
low brushw0od. That the crossing
was made by such a large number of
men and so expeditiously is a remark
able tribute TO the determination of
the men and to the forethought of their
commanders. 1t is related that their
commanding officer had sent down to
channel port and had had sent up to
the line for the occasion all the life
belts of one OF the weIl-knewn cross
channel steamers. 1t was this measure
Of precaution which was the means
Of enabling many men to cross before
foot-bridges could be constructed and
which was the main contributing fac
tor In the success of the operation.

TOO STRONG ON SYMPATHY
EIvira Parkins Had a Fault From
Which Too Many of Us Are
Not Quite Free.

Aunt Harriet's niece. Eileen. turned
from the flowers she was arranging
flowers left by the departing guest.
"She's just going down the path" she
replied "Shall call her back? Do
you want to see her again? Did she
leave anything?"
IF you call her back. I'll disown
you. even If you are my fayorite
niece" Aunt Harriet retorted. Tell
me the minute the gate clicks"
Eileen's eyes began TO dance.
Months of illness had not broken
Aunt Harriet's spirit. She left the
flowers and devoted herself to the
window.
"Nowl" she announced.
Aunt Harriet drew a long breath,

There, I've said 1t, and feel better!"

a laugh that broke bounds in spite
of her.

to me the most relieving thing ! ever

good woman. She wouldn't hurt the

feet off doing kind things for people.
I could stand the kindness, but what
can't stand is her sympathy.

Elvira's mother had an accident like
mine and was hard of hearing like
me and had a heart just like mine.
Elvira saw me lodging streak of sun
light for a minute, and she jumped
for the shade and pulled 1t clear down
and came back and patted my shout
der. murmuring. My mother had just
such sensitive eyes. You must be
very, very careful. Mother suffered
so with hers the last of her life"
Aunt Harriet's mimicry was delight
full. Eileen was enjoying herself
greatly. do tell me some more Of
Elvira's conversation she pleaded.
'Tm ready to vow never to be sympa-
thetic again as long as live"
Aunt Harriet sank back on her pill
lows, but her eyes were twinkling.
"I'm not saying that I'd advise you
to go quite as far as that, Eileen"
she retorted. I'D only call your at

Wars Influence on Music.

Have you noticed what speeding
up" Of music has come out Of this
war; There has been so much music
In 1t. When the famous retreat from
Mons was made, one set of soldiers
was kept awake and moving one night
by the music of little toy fife and
child's drum, which the commander Of
1t bought In kind of desperation In a
shop shortly before. The music acted
like charm on the men, who began to
move more quickly and more easily as
soon as they heard 1t. A battalion
marching without singing is unusual In
this war, unless secrecy of movement
is called for. There's Long, Long
Trail" is a favorite song, but dear old
'"Tipperary" is not sung much now.
Little French boys sing 1t well, though,
and sing it great DEAL Mother Ma
chree" is sung still, because It has so
much of the old home feeling In It.
Whenever q wounded soldier in the
hospital says he wants to hear d
photograph, 1t Is taken to mean that
he is getting better. And the very
sick soldiers, when they hear sweet
music played in their wards in hoqA
pitfalls, are soothed and Gained by IL

The United States commercial APP
pie crop for 1918 will exceed the 1917
production by approximately per
cent, according to the November fore
cast by the bureau of crop estimates,
United States department of agricul-
ture. Production for this year is now
estimated at 25.00S,O00 barrels, with
22,519,000 barrels in 1917. Attention
is called to the fact that the barreled
and bulk apple production is estlmat-
ed at 81 per cent increase over last
year, while the 1913 boxed apple crop
will fall short Of last years produc-
tion by % per cent. However, the
latter deficiency is more than Offset
by the increase in the Eastern states.

ly the lives of the women in that
country and showed what education is

tablished there, and by educating the
children of today, the next generation

Growing Sugar Cane Under Paper.

A new and very odd method OF
growing sugar cane is proving highly
successful in the Hawaiian islands.
When the cane is beginning to sprout,
yard-wide strips are laid lengthwise
over the rows of little plants and held
In place with cane-field trash. The pa
per is strong enough to keep down and
smother the starting weeds, but not to
kill the stout and hardy young cane.
In five or six weeks the weed seeds
beneath the paper have all germinat-
ed and been smothered to death, but
the cane shoots have either forced
their way through or erected them.

along the rows and with long knives

the shoots to come through. The lib
Grated shoots at first are blanched
white, but quickly turn green and
lusty. Wedding thereafter is almost
wholly needless. because there are
very few weeds There is an increase
Of ten tons (abo4l % per cent? in the
yield of cane per acre. Half the labor
is saved and the production Of actual
sugar per acre is augmented by more
than a ton. The paper used Is made
out OF "bagasse," which is the residue
Of the cane after the sugary sap has
been squeezed out of it.

Very ENJOYABLE

A very enjoyable card party was
held last night in st. Mary's Hall
under the auspices of the local Coun-
ell of the Knights of Columbus. Two

there were eleven tables. and six
tables of pinochle players.
Mrs. George Marshall won first

being tied with Miss Marion Duvall,
and winning in the drawing. Miss
Duvall secured second prize. Other
prize winners included Mrs. Mamie
Lang, Mrs. John Kramer. Mrs. VIM.
Zipfel, Miss Isabella McNasby. Miss
Agnes Quinn. and Mr.. William Flood.
Aside from the prizes offered, the
Knights made the affair one of social
nature, and the players enjoyed the
company of each other. as they pro-
crossed around the hall.
Something of novelty in the way
of refreshments was the serving OF
"hot dogs" which was included in the
menu of coffee. chocolate, cakes and
candy.

U. S. TRUCKS USED
TO FEED ARMENIANS

Several hundred United States Army
trucks. used by the Yankees in their
invasion of Germany, have been rushed
to Armenia and are being used there
now in feeding the hundreds of thou
sands of starving Christians, victims
of the cruel Turk and his former Ger
man master.
1t was at first intended to send
trucks from the United States, but the
need for immediate relief of the starv-
ing hosts became SO pressing that, at
the request of the American Commit
tee for Relief in the Near East, the
Government agreed to sell the COM
mittee what trucks it needed and to
ship them at once to the famine
devasted land.
danelles, says Booth Harrington, the
noted author, they felt safe in carry
ing out the program of killing OF all
Christians. How all they succeeded
before the boys from Maryland and
other States ended the power of both
the Turks and the Germans is told
by the thousands of Armenians who
were killed and starved to death.
The campaign of the American Com
mittee for Relief in the Near East,
which begins in this state within two
weeks and will be the means of help
ing finish the work begun by the SOL
diers. Some $30,000,000 is needed to
relieve the suffering of these Eastern
Christians.
Organization of local committees in
the counties to direct the drive is go
ing on rapidly. Many of the most
prominent men and women in the sew
eral county seats are giving much of
their time to the preliminary work.
Indications are that the counties will
do their share toward raising Mary
lands quota. Allegany county has al
ready appropriated a sum for the re-
lief work from her war chest.
The Baltimore Committee is also be-
ing rapidly organized with Judge John
c. Rose, former Governor Phillips Lee
Goldsborough, General Robert Garrett,
John T. Stone, J. Henry Baker, Will
liam H. Moriss, Jacob Epstein, General
Felix Agnus and other public spirited
men taking keen interest.
