 Herbert is the son of Color Sergeant Carl Seidel who is with the Fourteenth American brigade in France. Ser ,geant Seidel asked the Red Cross to repatriate his son, and after months of negotiations through Brigadier Gen. Harris of the interallied commission for the repatriation of war prisoners at Berlin, the German government con sented to permit the child to leave after the surrender of all his food cards and the presentation of papers establishing the fact that he was born in the United States.
 Lieut.. George Dunagan of the Am erican peace commission staff brought the boy from Berlin to Paris an turn ed him over to the Red Cross. which will send the lad to the United States immediately.

BENEDICT ARNOLDS OF kAISERS ARMY
 TO BE HELD IN THE U. s.

Washington, July PA story of the betrayel of the German high com mand through the efforts of the Am 'erican military secret service and of the organization among German off cers of a vendetta aimed at the lives of the traitors was brought to light with the arrival at New York today of two German prisoners of war con signed to the director of military intel ligence. Washington, D. e.
 According to information here the mysterious prisoners who landed from the Agamemnon under heavy guard formerly were German officers of high 'rank, occupying positions of great responsibility under von Hinderburg. Before the inauguration of the Amer ican offensives in 1918, operatives of the American military intelligence lcorps prevailed upon them through inducements which have not been di- vulged, to deliver plans of the German general staff coverinng the proposed movements on the western front, prob able lines of retreat points at which stands would be made and other de- tailed information of inestimable val ue With these plans before him Gener- al Pershing was able to lay out his campaign with great freedom and if Is believed that as result he was able to cut the cost of the American advance practically in half.
 These German officers later surren- ldered themselves to the American forces.
 Certain of their former associates had become suspicious however and
 are believed to have banded together to mete out stern justice. Utmost pre- cautions were taken even within the fallied lines to protect the informers, but as officials believed that as long
 as they were kept in France their lives would be in danger, orders were given for their transfer to this country. Preparations for the movement of the prisoners were kept secret and it was only through the carelessness of some clerk that it became known they were included in the roster of the Aga
 memnon when she left France. The plan was to send the prisoners to some isolated army post where they might be given military protection for
 time. Eventually, it is supposed
 they would have been permitted to l'escape" to some other country, there to begin their lives anew. Officials
 will not say whether this plan can be
 safely followed now.
 DivuIge Names of Prisoners
 The two German prisoners who reach led here on the Agamemnon were regis
 tered on the ships roster as Alfred
 Scholtz and Alvin Grothe. it was learn
 ed tonight. Scholtz is said to have been a German infantry officer who
 was made prisoner near St. Mihiel in
 September 1918 and Grothe. an avia- tor, who was captured in the Argonne region October IS. The prisoners ap Hpeared to be in high spirits and glad
 to reach the United States.

Javanese Use Mo Nails, No
Iron-0nIy Bamboo--in
Construction of Bridges

The natives OF Java have bridge
building technique which ufiiizes to
the limit their slight resources for
work of this character. OF raw mate
rails they are acquainted with but two,
and one of these is really product
of their own ingenuity. They have
no nails, no iron, no true wood; they
are forced to rely entirely upon bam-
boo for the structural parts, and upon
a rope of their own manufacture to eff
feet the junctures. In spite Of these
limitations, they achieve highly credit
able results.
The original element which the
J8van natives have brought to the con-
struction of these bridges is made of a
fiber taken from the native aren-palm,
which grows all over the island This
f1ber is of black and horny substance.
1t makes a rope that resists effective
ly the heavy decaying action of the
hot and damp tropical climate with
It's legions of fungi; in fact, it lasts for
many years without any indications of
rotting.

Majority of Big Animals
Are Extremely Lazy Even
in Their Native Haunts


Though not generally known, most
of the big carnivora are extremely
lazy, in their native haunts-only ex-
erting themselves when In need Of
food, and often going without it for
sheer Incidence.
Animals Of the geological gardens
obtaining their food without any eff
fort on their own part grow stupid and
i'll for lack of exercise. The pac-
ing up and down, just before meal
time IS not sufficient. Besides, ami
mails are like people; they need change
Of scene and air. For this reason the
animals in circus or show are really
more fortunate than their brothers in
the geological gardens.
The trick animals get plenty of ex-
ercise during performance, and the
constant change Of scene keeps them
interested Even such fierce animals
as leopards, tigers and lions enjoy
going through their tricks from sheer
relief of the monotony of their cages,
and often the big cats are quite play
full during the time of their training,
not from any love of man, but from
love Of motion.

Eliminating Steam
Electri6cation Of Railroads Would
Conserve Coal Supply

Railroad Identification is still looked
upon by the general public and by rail-
road men as having it's chief merits in
relieving cities and tunnels Of the OBJ
noxious smoke and cinders belched
forth by the steam locomotives. Elec-
trical men have in recent years en-
phasized the economy of electric train
service and In paper presented by
s. T. Dodd before the Western Rail-
way club this is very strikingly shown.
Mr.. Dodd cites figures proving that
1O0O00,0OO of the 140,000,000 tons of
coal now burned annually by our rail-
roads could be saved by general cleo
trification. In view of the continued,
IL not increasing, need for conserv-
ing the fuel resources of the country
for future generations, the urgency of
attacking the problem and at least
checking this gigantic annual waste
should be given prompt and careful at
tention.- Electrical Review.

Sahara Desert Once Well
Watered and Fertile Says
Professor of Egyptology

The Sahara desert was once well wa
tered and fertile, and hunters from
the Sahara plateau, moving gradually
down through rift in North
eastern Africa, located where Egypt
now lies, according to DR.. James
Henry Breasted, professor of Egyp-
tology and oriental history, Uni
versity of Chicago.
. Doctor Breasted said that this all
happened about the time of the stone
age. Egypt was then one huge lake,
but 1t gradually drained out into the
Mediterranean, leaving the Nile valley.
Here the hunters were afforded every
natural resource and founded a civ
ilization which outstripped Europe. 1t
was about 1000 or 5000 B. G. that
Egypt had a stable government CON-
trolling millions of souls.
The grain Of Egypt was 1000 years
older than that found in Asia, says
Doctor Breasted, and cattle undoubt-
eddy had their origin in Africa. The
stone age founders of Egypt early de-
veloped from hunters to farmers and
used the Oldest metal Instruments
made by human agency. They EVIL
IDENTIFY discovered the metal there; and
system Of writing was evolved in
Egypt thousands Of years before
Christ.

Samoyedes of the Russian

In the extreme north of the Rus

Birds Adopt Conservation;
Some Ride on Brake Beams

Some species of birds among the
migrants to the West and South do
not depend upon their wings alone to
speed them on their journey. Accord
ing to Nevada railway official, whom
the San Francisco Chronicle quotes,
various birds, especially sparrows and
iinnets, have adopted lees fatiguing
method Of transit than that which we
usually consider as their natural one,
by riding on the brake beams of trains.
He described an incident in which
some hundreds Of birds, riding on a
Southern Pacific train that was pass
Ing through Nevada from the East,
suddenly few from their perches be-
meath the coaches when the train pass
ed over rough crossing.

The Clarinda citizens have paid

support for year, through the Fa-
therless Children of France, an Ameri-
can organization with headquarters at
40 South Michigan avenue, Chicago,
cooperating with similar one in
France, Of which Marshal Joffre is the
head. The organization will see that
the adoption Of each child is made in
the name Of and as a memorial to a
dead soldier of Clarinda. The town
plans to repeat this sum annually for
each child until 1t is capable Of caring
for itself.
1t has been demonstrated that 10
cents day, to supplement the pension
of the same amount which the French
government, straining its resources,
granted its war orphans at the time Of
the early disasters, will suffice to keep
soul and body together in little VIC

THE SWANS OF YPRES

O-O-CeCSOCA-IF ~ ~
Ypres was once weaving town,
Where merchants jostled up and down.
And merry shuttles used to ply;
On the looms the fleeces were
Brought from the mart at winchester,
And silver fox from Burgundy.
who is weaving there tonight?
Only the moon, whose shuttle white
Makes silver warp on Cyke ana pono'
Her hands fling wells of lily-woof
On riven spire and open roof
And on haggard marsh beyond
No happy ghosts or fairies haunt
The ancient city, budding gaunt
Where wagons crawl with anxious
wheel,
And DER the marsh land desolate
Wind slowly to the battered gate
That Flemings call the gate of Lille.
Yet by some wonder it befalls
That where the lonely outer walls
Brood in the silent pool below,
Among the sedges of the moat,
Like lilies furled, the two swans hoat;
The Swans OF Ypres, men call them now.
They have heard guns and many men
Come and depart and come again;
They have seen strange. disastrous
things,
when fire and fume rolled Ger their nest;
But changeless and aloof they rest,
