MEN OF MANY NATIONS
IN GRAVES AT NISR
Germans Buried in Cemetery
With French, Serbians
and Russians.

There is a cemetery at Nish in which
is eptomized HE entire history of the
great war in the Orient. In it the vari-
Gus groups of soldiers. prisoners and
refugees have their separate plots.
Largest of all is that of the German
soldiers and officers. Each grave is
marked by a permanent, heavy, solid
cement stone, roughly in the shape of
an iron cross. a neighboring factory,
formerly devoted to the manufacture
of briquetS for fuel was diverted to
the manufacture of these tombStoneS.
Next in size is the Bulgarian. each
grave being marked by Il heavy wood
en- cross. These timhers We're reQui-
sitioned by the Bulgarians from the
houses of people of Nish and each
cross represents not only the grave
of a Bulgarian but the partial demoli
ton of the home of citizen of NiSh.
These wooden crosses are so numerous
as to almost give the effect of a forest.
The group of Austrian graves is CON
siderably smaller. Separated from
these are the plots for the allied sol
dierS. Here are to be found much
smaller number of graves of the
French and the Italians. On the hill
side WAS q large number of new
graves, those of the Serbian soldiers
who died in the final capture of Nish.
The Germans made one of the last
stands here and NiSh was taken only
after five assaults with the bayonet.
Here are three queer-looking plots.
One includes the graves of the Rus
sian prisoners of war who were
brought here to work by the enemy.
They are numerous. Another is that
of the Roumanian prisoners of war,
also numerous. Less numerous are
those Of the Italian prisoners of war.
Nearby are two newer groups of
graves. One includes the grave of the
Greek refugees who died, many of
them from the influenza, as they
passed through Nish on their way back
to Macedonia. Another is that of
Serbian refugees who met a similar
fate in the course of their wanderings
toward their homes either to the north
or south.

the greatness and the beauty of its
service to the poor. the unprotected

Secrated workers moved our people to
an affectionate regard by the nature
of it's service on the battletieldS of
France. Its members carried pas
sion for Christian service and Sacri-
flee TO the trenches, through the fire,
wherever men were hurt or unhappy
or in want They We're brothers and

est tribute to their zeal has come
from other devoted men and women
in the Red Cross, the Y. NJ. c. A, the
knights of Columbus and the \. Nj. ii.
A., with whom they co-operated.
THE Salvation Army now proposes
to extend it's service in the United
States and to contribute the inspira-
ton of its great purpose to the times
ahead. In the week beginning May
10 this great Army of Service will
go before the American people with an
appeal for financial aid and support.

AN APPEAL FOR "oUR BOYS"

General Pershing himself is sending
this urgent request:
'Stand by our boys little longer
and help them over the last long mile.
the hardest mile of all"
Our boys are still in France. They
want books. Send them popular
novels and magazines.
Won't you give those books you've
read and get your neighborS to give
theirs?
In one week the Library Association
had to spend $400 for books for our
boys 'OVer there"
Isn't this a shame when the shelves
and atticS of the average house are
full of interesting books?
The librarian of Cliffside Park
Library, Miss Bowman, is very anxious
to receive lot of magazines and books
and all you have to do is to get them
TO the libary at the Park Avenue
school for shipment.
This is the lax time, after the eX-
citements and regular drills of war
time, and your donation may save
somebody's boy from dire temptations
or from that awful inconsistencies and
melancholy which attacks many in the
dull routine and long waiting time on
the other side.
DO it now !

Why "Behemoth" Survives.

The books of the New Testament
were originally in Greek; those of the
Old Testament. of course, in Hebrew.
When the first "authOriZed version
of the Bible was framed, early in the
seventeenth century, the scholars who
undertook the work of translation
were puzzled to identify some of the
Scriptural beasts. The crocodile was
unknown in Europe at that period,
and, not having even heard of the hip
pOpotamus, they let the Hebrew word
''behemoth" stand.

SAYS JAPs ARE JEALOUS.
w. n. Gilbert Gains That Impression
From Iona STAY In japan,

That the japanese are jealous of the
United States Is the opinion of w. H..
Gilbert, formerly of the Central Iowa
Business College, who arrived home
Sunday morning from close to ten
months stay IN Tokyo.
Mr. Gilbert left this city May 30 for
Japan to audit the books of the +. w.
Horne Company, large japanese cor
poration on whose business the Ameri-
can International Corporation OF New
York City held an option for purchase.
The American company took over the
Japanese concern In December, and
since then Mr. Gilbert has been en-
gagged In installing a new accounting
system for the purchasers. It developed
that Mr. Horne head OF the Japanese
company, but native of this country,
was the engineer who built the first
electric light plant and gas system in
Marshalltown about forty years ago.
Altho the Japanese people In Tokyo
treated Mr.. Gilbert with great cordial
ity, and he had no reason for believing
that there was. any spirit Of Jealousy
in Tokyo, Mr.. Gilbert says that he
could not help but notice this spirit in
the smaller towns of the empire. In
these smaller centers, too. there ap-
pears to be the impression that some
time there will be a war between Jap
an and the United States. Japan Is
anxious to secure control of the Chi
nese trade. says Mr.. Gilbert, and In
attempting to tie up China to contracts
the United States has interfered. on
the vessel on which he sailed home
was a party of Japanese men coming to
this country with the hope of getting
the cooperation of the United States
in securing Chinese trade, so that the
two countries may participate in the
business.
While in Tokyo the talk of the
United States was all friendly said
Mr.. Gilbert, outside found the people
quite cocky, and imbued with the spirit
of some day ven let the United states
know we are just as good as they are.
The people of Japan are taxed very
heavily, and sometimes / have felt that
there was politics in the effort TO Keep
uppermost in the minds of the com
mon people that there was danger Oh
war with Anierira, so that the people
would submit more graciously to the
heavy taxation 20 maintain the army
and navy.

paper readers" added Mr.. Gilbert, and
Japan is a great newspaper country.
Most Of the papers are yellow, ana
they print everything they can fIno
from the yellow papers Of this country
so that the people have continually be-

there will be war between Japan and

As result of the circulation Of a
petition, shortly after the annual school
election In March, a special election is
to be held at Liscomb to vote on a
proposal to issue $4,000 worth OF
bonds with which to build now
school. The election has bcen called
by the school board for Thursday. May

Of and 8 o'clock.
The proposal submitted by the board
is; shall the independent school dis

shall. state Of Iowa, issue bonds in the
sum OF not to exceed S3b, 1000 Tor tho
purpose of constructing and eQuipptns

The fact that the vote at the March
school election was so small made It
very easy for the petitioners to obtain
the required number of signatures to
the petition, asking for the special
election. Only eleven votes were cast
at the election so the petition required
only three signatures. More than that
number, however, signed. The present
school building is very old and Is too
small.
