Praise "stars and Stripes"

Newspaper men, magazine men, lit
erati and, in fact, everyone in Amer
lea interested In catching the spirit
of the Yank invasion of Europe, should
by all means read copies of that
great voice of the American expedition
ary forces the Stars and Stripes.
Letters from pals and relatives paint
little Intimate tableaux of the extraor-
dinary life OF the Yankees In France,
but few copies of the Stars and
Stripes can rear an atmosphere which
hundreds Of excellent letters could not
begin to comprise. The editors, by
their work, show that they are regular
fellows. They have the viewpoint Of
the buck private, ms well as that Of the
gray-halred executive with the silver
stars on the shoulders.-The Quill.

HAD LIVELY FIGHT
Man Found coachwhip Snake No
Mean Antagonist.
Mr.. q. M. Robbins OF Atlanta 10 Ready
to Announce That He Is Not
at All DESTROYS Of Another
Such Bout.

| Some folk say coachsnake won't
chase you and tie you to pine tree
and whip the everlasting daylight out
Of you. They scandalize this ancient
tradition as unscientific and contra
dictory to the facts and the evil
1cnce.
The defense now calls to the stand
one G. w. Robbins. whose initials may
or may not stand for George Wash
ihgton, and who watches at the Dow
man-Dozier plant in Atlanta, Ca, by
night.
Mr.. Robbins AYERS that the blamed
coachwhip went as far as pos
sible-he chased Robbins three
times around his own garden to be-
gin with, and when Robbins finally
turned and gave battle he (the coach
whip) lassoed him and the ensuing
wrestling match simply ruined large
part of an acre of excellent radishes
and some fine young onions
Robbins says. he was out in the gar
den pulling some radishes when he
discovered six-foot coachwhip
snake watching him balefully. Mind
absence of pine trees Robbins turned
and fed, and the coachwhip after
him. Round and round the garden
patch fed Robbins, the coachwhip still
pursuing him.
The chase ended near the barn.
where Robbins was forced to pause
for breath. Whether the coachwhip
also was shy of wind does not -ap-
pear, but he started crawling under
the barn to think it over.
Robbins, encouraged by this maneu-
yer and angered at the damage al
ready wrought among his garden
sas, grasped the snake by his deli
cately taperlng tail and dragged him.
resisting furiOusly, from beneath the
,, barn. Instantly he coachwhip
changed his tactics and looped him
self about Robbins neck.
Business picked up at once, and the
warm spring atmosphere was shat
tered by rude exclamations of the
rcugh-and-ready variety. The coach
whip had a combination grapevine
and head hold on Robbins. who was
striving to achieve the deadly toe
held made famous by the late Mr..
GOtch.
The radish bed was used as a mat,
and the graprle was fast and fu-
/ rious. 1t is always difficult matter
t. put toe hold on large and sci
entific snake, but Robbins was bat
| Ting for his life and few remaining
radlshes-Rnd he got the hold.
The first thing Robbins did was to
unwrap the snake from about his
neck. The next thing he did was not
strictly in accord with the wrestling
regulations. Instead of pinning the
coachwhip's shoulders to the radsh
bed, Robbins deliberately and with
malice aforethought popped his enc
my's skull vindictively against the side
Of the barn.
| The battle ended there. The snake
measured two inches over two yards.

kei Hara.

For the first time in the history OF
Japan a man without a title Is at the
head of the government. Mr.. Kei
Hara. the present premier, is COM
moner, born In northern Japan, and
educated in Tokyo on a scholarship
founded by the feudal, lord of his
clan. He studied law as profession,
bur entered journalism, serving on
the Immediate journalistic ancestor of
the now well-known HOchi Shimbun.
From journalism he entered diplomacy
under Marques Inouye, then for
eign minister, and was sent as con-
sui to France. Returning to Japan
he became director of the commercial
bureau of the foreign Office under
Count Mutsu; and then in turn min
lister In Korea, and vice minister of
foreign affairs in Japan, retiring tenn
porarily to private life when Count
Mutsu gave up the political work that
had earned him the reputation Of be-
Ing the greatest modern japanese dip
lOmatist. Mr.. Hara returned to ma
tional politics in 1900 as minister of
communications In the new cabinet of
Prince Ito, and frcm that appointment
his rise has been steady till he was
lately made premier, and so became
the first commoner that has ever in
Japan occupied so high position.

How II Began.

Customary figure as the boy scout
has become in the United States, Gen
eral Baden-Powell's visit added much
to American knowledge of the move
ment. A good many newspaper read
ers were probably surprised to learn
that it owes its beginning to the Boer
war and the siege Of Mafeking. with
out which II may be questioned wheth-
er there would be any boy scouts. In
command at Mafeking, General Baden
Powell looked far beyond the siege
and saw that great and useful organ
ization of boys might be developed
from the corps Of boy messengers or
ganlzed to serve the forces holding
that hard-pressed town. That was the
beginning of II, but the same force OF
character that defended Mafeking car
ried forward the boy scout idea until
II was generally recognized as a
project for character building rather
than encouraging milimrism in the
young. Another bit Of information
that probably surprised many Ameri.
cans was that Beden-I'owell Is de
scended on his mothers side from
Capt. John Smith.

Mexican Child steaIer..

Mexico's "child stealers" engaged In
a regular business of stealing children
and making them beg coins for them.
according to a writer In the National
Humane Review. The headquarters
or central place of business for the
biggest thieves are located In Gomez
Farlas street, Guadalajara. Here a
regular market is held for the disposal
Of stolen children. either by outright
sale or rent.
"After passing through the hands
of this gang the innocent victim of
this barbaric system Is generally un-
recognizable and MANNED or blinded is
carried or hauled around with its poor
little hand outstretched for coins to
support Its fiendish MASTER" according
to the writer. "Such children are seen
any hour of the day or night in Mex
leo City, lowering around the theater
doors, sitting around the streets and
often among the beggars that line the
church doors. The pleasure seeker,
the passer-by or the communicant who
puts pennies In the autstretched hands
does not realize how well he is CO.
operating with the fiendish industry"

Pardon Recall. E.mou. Crime.

famous crime is recalled by the
granting of decree Of pardon to
large number of convicts in Italy.
Among those thus pardoned are
Doctor Nadl and Tullio Murri, who
were sentenced in connection with the
murder of Count Bonmartini, Murri's
brother-in-law. Count BOnmartini. a
Bologna spendthrift, who frequently
quarreled with his wife, was found
In his fiat with his throat cut, In
August, 1902. The trial, lasting six
months. of the countess and four ac'
complies In the murder, in 1905,
aroused enormous interest throughout
Italy. All the prisoners were confined
In steel cage in front of the judges

brother, declared that he demonstrated
with the count for ill-treating his wife.
and killed him In a quarrel that fol.
lowed. He was sentenced to 30 years
solitary confinement. Doctor Naldi,
friend Of Murri's. received the same
sentence. He declared that his part
In the crime was to cut the corpse In
pieces, but that this was not done ow-
Ing to the date arranged for the muir

was sentenced to ten years solitary

FIGHTERS GOT THEIR "EATs"
How American Soldiers at the Front
Were Supplied by the Com
missary With Food.

The service of supply of the Amer
ican army receives lions share Of
praise for our victory. Needs of men
in the trenches and on the fighting
line were well cared for. Hot meals
were served to them to an extent un-
precedented in any other war. Under
barrage fire and gas attacks, however,
hot food could not be carried forward.
To meet this difficulty sealed con-
tainers were provided. each holding
sufficient food for 25 men for a day.
These containers were absolutely air
tight to prevent poisoning of food by
gas. They contained dry. hard corn
bread, cOrned beef, corned-beef hash.
roast beef salmon, sardines, salt.
sugar and coffee soluble in cold wa
ter. together with the necessary can
openers. Each container weighed 1O7
pounds and was cleverly camoufiaged
for Its trip to the firing line. An
emergency ration similar to the "iron
ration" Of the British army was pro-
vided for the Americans. This was
| the ration they carried over the top
and used only in dire extremity. 1t

upon Its mighty accumulation of foods
from America for everything except
fresh vegetables. 1t was almost inde-

tables were contracted for in the

EnoIand to Honor Pilgrims.

Behind the efforts of those who
nre seeking to link Great Britain and
America in lasting union Of friend.
ship two historic episodes stand out
IN bold relief.
1t is almost precisely 800 years since
the Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Ply
mouth in the NSayflower to make. on
pn undeveloped continent, brave ex-
pertinent of self government. The
actual tercentenary falls next year,
and already preparations are In prog
ress to celebrate the occasion In this
country in fitting manner.
BY way of contrast to that great nd
venture one thinks OF that other pill
grimage last year. when 100000 he.
role soldiers left their homes In Amer.
leo to speed across the Atlantic to the
rescue of the old country. They
came actuated by that love Of liberty
which had been handed down to them
from the ancient Pilgrims, and with
their British brothers they testified on
the battle field to the essential unity
OF the Anglo-Saxon stock. II is now
for Great Britain and America to de.
termine that the friendship which
their gallant soldiers cemcnted with
their blood shall be a permanent in
spiration In their international rela.
tions.-London Daily Telegraph.
