FIRST CLEAN. UP THE MESS
Bfafish Majors Attitude on the War : :f,Typicai of Most of the Soldiers
 lover There"

Generalship, heard a chief of staff knowledge of the mood. the cnlnli, ton and the character of your men For q week travelled the British front with q grizzled major of a High land regiment, who had been in the game since 1914. We lunched one day with a mingled group of field and in telligence officers, Belgian on Unison work, and q visiting French captain. The talk, which was chiefly upon spe- cialtieS beyond the range of war. made one fact eVident--thp world of civilian fife was more interesting rhan ever siOnately desirOuS to get back. to "clean up the mess" there, to go on with their broken careers,
 "HuW do you stay so keen on vnnr job here, l asked the ma inr. after ward. "when you are more weary of war than they are at home?"
 He flushed little, British fashion "Havc to clean ,p thlS mess, first" he answered.

GERMANY WITHOUT 4 FRlEk
Nation Stands h;~~a r the Wori; = Seemingly With Nc O:,2 Is Mourn
 for Her

One cannot help wondering Wfl"1 German agents in SpAiu Nh"n they read the dispaIch ~"nl by Kin" .Alfnn so to frCS;drnl I0incare ThnSe agents have worked hard throH"h :sI' these years of the war and speHl money laviShly to make and keep Spain the friend of Germany. They can claim with some show of truth to have kept her neutral. but now. in the day of Germany'S humiliation, she gets no sympathy from the Spanish king. In stead, he: lefcGraphS to the Frencl, president enthusiastic congratulations on the victory Gf the allies, and calls the result achieved the reaching of ''the end of this glorious epic 0f in" French army and nation. which have shown US all," he adds, "Wh"t bravery and patriotism nlcan."
 Alfonso says ''uS al,." and no Span iard protests, so they must join no' only in the kins'> feiicitaIiun of Ger many's enemy hnt also in the implied denial that Germany has shown any body what bravery and patriotism mean.
 Another failure. therefore, must lie scored against German ,lipium;cy and prOpagAndu. lS il the hundredth OI the 1liousandllI?-NeW York Times.

SAID ICE CREAM "BURNED'
Think of 1t, French Riddles Had to Be Coaxed to Partake of Strange
 DeIicacy!

Striking proof of the well-knOwn fact that extreme heat and extreme cold have the same physical properties was recently furnished by "Jugger" Crane. the scientist-philosopher of Company B. -th engineers. when he fed some American ice cream to group of French children, says the Spiker.
 The inhabitants of the French farm houses near the camp had never seen any Ice cream until "Jugger" took them over mess kit full of the great American delicacy.
 The children gathered around ex- pectantly. The first one took spoon full and at once began to weep and de- clare that the strange food was hot.
 The others who had watched rather horror stricken the fate of the first be- came convinced that 1t was some sort of white fire and would have nothing to do with the cream.
 The mother had to eat virtually all the cream in order to induce them to believe it was cold rather than hot and that when not taken too fast, was good to eat. Eventually, the children ate the last of the dish.
 But they partook of It gingerly, evil dently greatly mystified that anything which first seemed hot, then cold, could be good to eat.

CANDIDATES MUST DOLL UP"
Will Have to Look Their Prettiest if They Expect to Find Favor With
 Woman Voters.

It Is not necessary to go away from home to find either the latest or best, regardless of what is wanted. Consider eyebrow arching. for instance. A local beauty salon announces to the public that it does eyebrow arching. and ex- plains that this operation gives the eyes a deep. soulful expression with everlasting charm" Eyebrow arching advice for woman electors is more or less superfiuous. It is to the men, and more especially to the men who aspire to public office, that this beauty hint is directed.
 Throughout the country women are getting the ballot on equal terms with men. Women cannot vote in Indiana, but they are going to have that privi- lege before long. So many women have been enfranchised that they now hold the balance of power In this na- ton. So the woman vote will be more and more a real political problem to the candidate.
 Some electors care little for the per sonal appearance of candidates. but most of them prefer a man of char acter. one who at least Is presentable. Candidates In the future will have to bear this in mind. It will be well. in order to match rival candidates, for each to have good tailor and an ad- visory committee on the proper shade of cravats. Immaculate linen will have to be in every candidates platform. The high arched eyebrow will be even more essential to candidates than to the average woman. Doubtless those who have political aspirations will be- gin early. because eyebrow training takes time.-Indianapolis News.

Learns of the War

A woman was discovered in this city yesterday who has lived all through the great war and did not know that it was going on. She is an aged woman of German birth. Her age kept her son from telling her about the horrors of the invasion of Belgium and of the sinking of the Lu- sitania. He didn't wish her to worry and fret. But the day of the peace demonstration made 1t impossible to keep silent. The old lady heard the whistles blowing and the crowds cheering and she demanded to know what 1t was all about. When they told her she raised her hands In a gesture of imprecation and said: "Oh. if only could get these two hands on the kaiser." The interesting part of her story is that her husband was a Ger man soldier. The gray uniform was 50 detested by him that he made his wife. before his death. promise that she would come to America 80 that none of their sons ever would be con- pelled to wear the livery of the kai- seF.-New York Sun,

Victim of Popular Soma,

Lawrence Kellie tells of an amusing experience he had over the song, Douglas Gordon" He was intro- duced one evening to gentleman whose name he did not catch. II have no desire to meet you, Mir. Kellie," said the stranger. Kellie naturally looked a little astonished, but said nothing. 'In fact" the other went On 'I hate the very sound of your name For months pasr my mother has been worried by the receipt of telegrams and letters of coincidence on my behalf, and the thing Is beginning to get mo- notonOus." .""Fm sOrry," said Kelie but what's that got to do with me?" Well. I'll tell you" said the other. My names Douglas Gordon. and everybody imagines that your confounded song refers to me-" And with that he turned on his heel and went.

Bomb Dropp:1g Balloons.

The first bol:n-dropping balloons were humble enough and equally flu tile. Ballo, Hs had been used in War as early as the siege of Maubeuge by the Austrians for observation purposes.
 The first talk of Domb dropping was in 1912, when the Russians were said to have huge balloon for that pur. pose, but. nothing was done with it.
 In 1847, however, the Austrians. when attacking Venice, sent up paper fire balloons, whicii were to drop shells into the town. Bur they forgot to al low for contrary air currents. The balloons got into cEe, drifted back to- ward the Austrians and bolnhed them instead of Venice.
