Is that she belongs to a stock Of west

Old Fctty Officer Reminds the Recruits
There Are Some Things That

The old petty officer in charge or

were from the farming districts; but
the greater number were under%radu-
ates from colleges and universities
flocking to the colors at the first in
timation of their country'S need, and
all were astonishingly transformed by
the mere donning of uniforms and
caps. into potential sailors for the

With gold The Dutch war protiteer is
a marked nan, Isaac +. MarcoSson
writes in the Saturday Evening Post.
l was walking down the Hoogstraat-
the leading retail business street in
Rotterdam-one day last June. when
my companion. widely known Dutch
man, tugged at my sleeve, pointed to
a Iaan driving in a smart new dog cart
and said: Hes an over.
"What is tha,?" asked.
"a war profiteer," he replied
/ then discovered that the Dutch
have coined this phrase, to indicate the
despised type. 1t is combination OF
the first letters of the two Dutch
words Oorlog winst, which means war
profits. When pronounced it sounds
like "ower."
Holland ''has the number" of these
gentry. They are spotted wherever
they go. and by an interesting system.
1t was explained to me by Dutch
man in this fashion: whenever you
see man with a new motor car or a
new carriage you can put him down
as a profiteer. No self-respecting
Dutchman will buy new vehicle these
days. Besides-as far as the motor is
concernesl-petrol is scarce and tco
high for the ordinary man. Some
profiteers try to disguise their cars by
buying low motor car numbers
The protiteefs have grown to such
numbers in The Hague alone they oc-
cupy whole residential district. By
fitting irony it is located near the
peace palace. Here they have taken
possession of scores of imposing res
iderceS. whose owners have not been
ehle to maintain them under war con-
ditions. IL is the domain Of the Dutch
new rich. Holland imposes tax Of
SO per cent on war profits. Since 1915
it has yielded the government nearly
$lOo000,000, which would mean a
gross total of nearly $300,000,000. But
these actual taxes are about as fair
an index to real figures as the in
heritance tax in America is to real
inheritances. Besides, there is the
huge pool of untraceable profits gar
nered by the farmers, who have been
among the principal proiteers.

LEARN BEST FARM METHODS
Modern Principles of Agriculture Be-
ing Instilled Into the Youth OF
Our Ally Italy.

The use of scientific farming meth
DDS is spreading and developing in
Italy; the eliminating Of waste and
the replacing of the old-fashioned de-
vices is becoming fact in the fertile
land south of the. Alps. One of the
most useful agencies for popularizing
these modern methods are agricultural
Institutions where boys are taught the
principles of modern farming.
The department of civil affairs Of
the American Red Cross has recently
given material assistance to one OF
these schools of agriculture estab-
lished by the Saiesian Fathers in the
fields just outside the Porta Furba, one
of the historic gateways of Rome. This
assistance has been conveyed through
an Italian organization, engaged in
work similar to that carried on by the
A. r. C. anu known as the "Comitato
De gil Orfani de Constadini Morti in
Guerra" The boys of the school, all
orphans of peasant soldiers, are given
training in sciertific and practical
farming. the object being to strengthen
their attachment to the soil, also to
convert them into good and intelligent
farmers. Lectures and classroom in
struction are accompanied by field
work with modern tools, under the di-
rect supervision of the younger ia
Tiers of the institution, who work side
by side with the boys in the fields,
teaching and demonstrating.

hero BELITTlES DEED
Doesn't Think Much of Act That
Won Cross.
All He Did Was Swim River Under
Fire and Rescue Wounded
Frenchman.

Pittsburgh.-"Now listen, get me-!
There's been so much hot air about
this hero stuff that 1 want you to get
Il straight. I saw this French bird
across the river and I went and got
him. If hadn't someone else probably
would have taken the same chance"
In these words Capt. Walter r.
Fiannery, who was awarded the Cross
OF War for swimming the Marne river
and rescuing wounded French sol
dier at the time the Germans held the
Aisne- Marne salient. disposes of any
attempt to make a hero of him for the
deed. At the time Flannery was a lieu
tenant. He is at his home here on a
fufiough.
The wounded man lay on the bank
across the river from where the
Americans were stationed at Savigny.
Disregarding a French officers warn
ing that it probably was ruse to at
tract Americans over that the Huns
might learn what division opposed
them, F1annery waited until nightfall,
when he stripped to his underclothing
and swan across. The Germans
spotted him and most of the trip was
under water. Fiannery tells the rest
of the story as follows:
sSWhen got over I found the man.
All the French I knew was lei, ici'-
here, here'-and then the bird went
hysterical and refused to come into
the water. He was too weak to tie
the rope I had brought along, so
had to drag him in. We got over all
right.

days later / got orders to report to a
French colonel. Headquarters was
about seven miles away. so I hoofed
it back, expected to be put on patrol
duty of some sort. I presented my
self and couldn't find out what the
program was. They told me to go
stand behind major. / did, but the
major kept rambling around, and me
after him like a goof.
Then I was told to go forward on
the parade ground, and French gen.
eral lined me up. pointed sword at
me and turned on the French. It
wasn't much Of a conversation, for
didn't know what he was talking about,

the sword, pinned this on me-the

me. Say, that mustache tickled me
from ear to ear. I'm of saving men
