her of the first contingent Of Salvation
Army lassies to invade this country,
and Sergeant-Major Louis Petain, 81,
iof Brooklyn, second convert made by
the struggling little band in America,
will be active workers in presenting
the Army's 1920 appeal for support Of
tits Home Service Fund to be made
throughout the country May 10 to 20.
These two workers have seen the
organization grow from the veriest
;kyre in the field of service and relief
i'm 1880 to the powerful influence that
ft is today. They have never left its
service and entertain no thought of
doing so. They want to help raise the
100000 necessary to carry the work
through another year.
Their enthusiasm is boundless, as 1t
well may be In people who have seen
such an inauspicious beginning in the
face Of jeering and antagonistic crowds
result In the universal respect and love
held for the Salvation Army today.

tie Salvation Army lassie was placed
under arrest and escorted by crowd
Of amused but sympathetic onlookers
to the patrol wagon and thence to the
local Jail, where she spent the night.
The case was taken before the su-
preme court Of the state. where even
tually the contention Of the Army"
was sustained.
Following the decision the entire
corps, led by Colonel Clifford, marched
to the city hall to demand the drums
that had been confiscated by the po-
lice. Twenty-eight Of the offending
prisoners" were released in the Gus
tody Of the corps. From that date to
the present none Of the meetings Of
the Salvation Army has been disturbed
by the police. Furthermore, the prece-
dent established has been maintained
in nearly every state in the Union.

POPE POSES FOR THE MOVIES
Pontiff Amused as photographer
Takes Groups and "close- Ups"
in Vatican Grounds.

Rome.--For the first time in history
pope has posed for the motion pie
ture camera.
Not only was permission granted for
the filming of scenes In the Lourdes
chapel grounds, but Pope Benedict
took a leading part, posing first with
various groups and then for "close-
ups" and expressing much amusement
ut the persistence of the American
photographers, who went within four
feet of the pontlff and snapped him
smiling into the camera.
This occurred after the pope had
celebrated mass for the visiting Amer
lean Knights of Columbus in the open
vatican gardens and had given holy
communion personally 10 each knight.
Vatican officials were amazed that the
pope appeared in these scenes for
about 20 minutes. and which proved
the most complete pictures ever taken
of vatican ceremonies,

DO you LIKE HASH?
Hash Properly Favored and Proper.
ly Cooked Worth all the Dishes
of Politics and Economics
In Creation.

An American who recently return
ed from London tells us Of visiting
a Salvation Army restaurant, one of
those Ravens for the poor man with
only a sixpence in his pocket. AS
usual the eating place was like pin
in paper and the walls were frescocd
with biblical texts, very many texts.
Also there were a number of signs
for the benefit Of those seeking food.
One sign read: "we make our own
hash" Underneath Was the biblical
text:
Father forgive them; they know not
what they do"
We can't help saying that, not be-
ing divine, we have been the direct
opposite Of forgiying after many
dish Of hash rashly ordered In a
restaurant. Why is It that public
cooks make such a botch Of dish
that is so easily made. That Is, 1t
seemed to be very easy for mother
to make it. But let's not in any way
compare restaurant hash with mo-
theirs hash--it's sacrilege. Hers was
heavenly. Hers was real hash!
We'd hate to be put on oath as to
how she did it. We just remember
that there was little brisk busting
in the kitchen, a sound Of quick
chopping, jingle and a sizzling,
then an odor--oh boy. that odor
was meal in itself, And few
minutes later a big, steaming dish
rested on the table with dad and
every kid ogling it and almost dying
for an instant taste OF its contents.
Newspaper editorials usually run
to weighty politics and weightie,
economics, but this editorial has to
say that hash properly favored and
properly cooked is worth all the
dishes of politics and economies in
creation.

MAD SQUIRREL ATTACKS MAN.
Fellow at Charles City Badly Cut Up
BY Animal.

Bit by mad squirrel, NJ. Holm of
Charles City, who was at Rochester,
Mimi, last Friday was mass Of
bandages following a hurry-up trip
TO physicians Office. His case was
the stranyest on record in Rochester.
At one-thirty O'Clock that after
noon police headquarters received a
telephone message requesting an
officer with a gun to come to the
seven hundred block on Center Street
w, to stop the ravages of a mad
squirrel. Patrolman Jim Clayton
hurried out in Ford, taking a
twenty-five rife with him.
Arriving at the scene of trouble.
nc discovered that a small boy was
keeping the squirrel freed by throw
ing rocks at him. Several reputable
citizens We're on hand to assert tina.
the little animal had been acting
in most astonishing manner for
hours in that neighborhood. 1t had
chased little children swapping its
teeth and giving every indication of
wishing to attac' them viciously.
One party of children escaped by
throwing an umbrella at the Great
ure.
Finally, NJ. Holm, the Charles City
man, came to the rescue Of the child
rem and tried to scare the squirrel
away by stamping his feet, instead
Of becoming frightened, the animal
rushed at him, clambered up his
his clothes, bit him severely in both
hands, and then rushed at the mans
face Mr.. Holm buried his face so
as not to have it suffer from the
creatures attacks. The animal then
grabbed him several times in the
back of the neck. Finally it hoped
to the ground and rushed up tree.
Mr.. Holm returned to the Office OF
DR.. Granger where his wounds were
properly treated.
Clayton fired four shots into the
squirrel before the animal was kill
ed and knocked out of a forty-foot
tree,
The squirrel is, to be examined
thoroughly to ascertain whether or
not hydrophobia was the cause OF
the mand antics of the tiny animal.
Efforts will be made, if possible
to learn whether or not there are
any more who are suffering from the
bites of the squirrel.

Of the Lords of Appeal, handed down
yesterday. confirming the judgment
of the lower court ordering him to
pay tax on the average of his income
for three years prior to assessment
instead of the income OF the assess

Singer thus has to pay on an in

SIBERIA HORRIBLE
D. oman DECLARES
Ralph A. Shinn, Back From
Land of Reds, Tells Of
Conditions There.

After a year in the interior OF ST.
IBERIA, where he was an eyewitness TO
the plundering and looting OF the
Reds. Ralph a. Shinn, Of 1424 w
street northwest, has just returned
home. He was assistant director OF
transportation of the American Red
Cross at Irkutsk, Siberia. and went
there with Red Cross workers includ-
ing Miss Emma c. Forster, Eleventh
and NJ streets northwest, and Frank
II. Hinkle, 1928 X street northwest
Conditions in Siberia are horrible
said Mr. Shinn today. Ninety per
cent of the Russians are inclined TO
Bolshevism and more than 70 per cent
cannot rear or write.
"They rob and kill each other, they
seizze farming implements and tools
from those who want to work. The
coal mines and the farmlands are not
worked. Were 1t not for the food
and administrations Of the Red Cross
they would starve to death.
"They do not seem to be able to
get hold on themselves. Almost
every other day, new government
is set up only to be speedily torn
down by the revolutionists. Condi-
tions have gotten such that they now
are experimenting with community
forms it's own government. Then the
other nearby community will come
along and rob, loot and kiln"
But where the true Bolshevists, or
reds, rule, it is a case OF seize, eat all
there is on hand. and them starve, or
resort to plunder and loot.
81 believe that ! fthe allies with
draw and leave the country to itself,
order will be restored. and, possibly,
firm Siberian national government
can be established.
"All of the allies are supposed to
be withdrawing as fast as conditions
will allow, but it is rumored that the
japanese are buying up property, but
for what purpose I do not know.
$50 little coal is being mined that
trains cannot operate over the Trans
Siberian railway in anything like the
number needed for the rapid evacua-
ton of allied troops"
