HORNETS WEATHER PROPHETS.

The age of prophets is not past, at
least not the age Of weather proph-
cts. its right here. The most re-
cent instance Of this is Pennsyl-
wanna hunter called Bill Yapzapt.
Bill learns all about the weather
from the hornets. Here is the way
the narration runs:
Pointing up to two trees along the
Baltimore pike, near swarthmore,
upon which high up hang big hor-
nets hives, Bill said: "See those
hives3 They are high and dry and
that indicates little wind, but we are
going to have deep snow and plenty
Of it, and you can tell the world for.
me that ! am right when l say deep
snow and plenty Of it."
Vanzant declares hornets never
like to get into deep snow, and their.
nature always indicates to them how
to, protect themselves for the winter
months.

aBRAvEsT AMONG THE BRAVE

Thsmsslves q Name That Will D
Remembered Forsver.

Next to the all-pervading humor
Of the Yankee soldier that was the
wonder Of his European allies was
the modesty that followed the most
daring deeds Of bravery. One Of
many thousands Of cases will serve
to illustrate: The artillery was fall
ing short, its shells dropping among
our own men. The advance bad
been so swift that there were no
wires by which the warning could be
sent back. The need for action was
60 immediate that there was no time

tainty that he could get back. Abb
ruptly, and on his own initiative, q
signal corps sergeant started to
Shiny" up telegraph pole. I'M,
der the crossing fire Of batteries Of
friend and foe, in full sight and
within wickedly easy range Of Ger
man snipers and machine gunners,
he went up the pole, and from that
high and conspicuous place signaled
the message to the artillery. When
he came down French officer con-
graduated him warmly and asked
for his name and outfit. The SER
geant grinned and started to fade
away. "But you don't understand, =
the officer explained; 81 want to rec

what i thought" said the sergeant,
and then he faded away entirely.

ONE Of d: DEsT LANou AuEs'



When the Germans invaded Izith-
uania early in the war, one Of their
first steps was to suppress oil news.
papers published in the Lithuanian
language and substitute German q
far as possible. Later on they
changed their policy and published
newspapers in Lithuanian, but re-
served for themselves entire control
over the news and editorial columns.
The language Of the Lithuanian.
people is one Of the Oldest IN the
world. It strikingly resembles some
Of the ancient tongues and seems to
have nothing in common with the
Slavic and German. Although the
Lithuanians were surrounded for
centuries BY Russian, German and
Polish influences, they managed to
preserve their speech in its original
purity.
IN richness OF vocabulary, LAIllN'
anian is only equaled BY English.
Many Of it's U, 900 words are almost
identical with the corresponding
Greek, Latin or Sanskrit words So
we'll have some Of the primitive char
acteristics Of the language been pre-
served in the undisturbed backwa-
tiers Of Lithuania that, if it were pos;
sible for the Romans and Greeks I'd
rise from their graves, they would
have little difficulty in understands
ing whole sentences as spoken by the
Lithuanians today, while these
could just as easily understand some
Of the phrases Of the Sanskrit.

ert Hardison, in Police Court this
morning. to pay fine of $25. The fine

legged that he did not have such a
permit to bring milk here from a
Virginia producer and that he knew
the Virginia producer had no such
permit as required by law.
Judge Hardlson in passing sentence
said that as Shawn had been previous
ly convicted on a similar charge and
had been sentenced to pay a nominal
dne and as this was the second Of
tense he felt he should make the aen-
tence confinement in Jail as provided
by law in such cases. obut as this vio-
been through legal advice he would
not impose a jail sentence. The court
warned the defendant that If he came
before him again there would be "a
long jail sentence awaiting him.

was responsible Tor the advice to his
client that caused him to violate the
law the second time.

Hard Task Fixing Sums
Huns Former Allies Must
Pay as Part of War DAMAGE
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, April 15.-Austria- Hunga
Bulgaria and Turkey are not partic-
ularly promising debtors, but the
reparations commission, with the
problem of German compensation for
damages out of the way. is taking up
the question of the financial respon-
sibility of these states, or the rem
nants thereof. along the same lines
as in the case of Germany
Germany's former allies will be re-
ouired. to accept the principle that
they are responsible for damages to
civilian life and property under the
same categories as applied to Ger
many, and a subcommittee has
been studying the extent to which
they can be made to satisfy debts.
The results of the work of the COM
mission thus far are understood to
have been largely negative. as the
assets of the debtor states have van
ished to a great extent and rich parts
of their domain are now included
within the bounds of allied liberated
states. Something, however, may be
Healized from the wreckage for COM
pensating Italy, Rumania and
