The king and the sol dier remained on the summit for half an hour, the guide discreetly, he thought, trying to question the king on his war record. The king was re- luctant to speak of his war expert ence. When the guide came down he asked a newspaper man:
 "What was it that the American General Sherman said about war? King Albert told me: Sherman said all that is to be said about war in three words"

CHEAP BEER IN GERMANY NOW
 ONLY MEMORY

BERLIN, Aug. A (by Associated Fress) A venerable Teutonic insti- tuition, the Stammtisch, is disappear ing. The Stammtisch was the middle class mans club, but since the price of beer has gone up from 30 pfen- nigs a pint to 2 marks for less than pint, the inducement to gather round the oaken board in some vault ed Keller" to discuss politics, art or philosophy has faded away and the great decorative steins with the en- bossed lids have become mere shelf ornaments
 Berlin Stammtische were many and various. Each had it's own customs and convival ritual Some. where pointers, cartoonists, actors and lit erary men foregathered, were famous throughout the German speaking en- pire and had been in continuous ex- istence for over a century.
 The latest one to go is the artists Stammtisch at Siechens, in the Behrenstrasse, with which many fam ous names are associated.
 To the traditional German, the end of the Stammtisch means the end of Gemuthlichkeit, thel particularly Gemuthlichkeit, that particularly good cheer and high thinking.

AMERICANS DO Y.M.C. WORK
 FOR RUSSIANS

BERLIN, Aug. A (by Associated Press) IA party of young Americans, all Rhodes scholars, has arrived here from Oxford university to assist in the Y. M. c. A. relief work in con- nection with the repatriation of Rus sian prisoners of war.
 They will be assigned to various prison camps throughout Germany where 175,OOO Russians are awaiting ships to take them home. About 25,000 already have been sent from Stettin to Narva but there are so few ships available it may be months before the last of them can be embarked. Meantime the Rus sians are suffering severe privations.
 Almost without exception the American students served during the war with the American expeditionary forces or were associated with relief work in Europe. Their leader is Francis F. Miller, of Lexington, Va, a graduate of Washington and Lee universities. Othem members of the party are David M. Amacker, Lake Providence, La, Joseph David Doty, Graham, Tex, William l.. Finger, Rip ley, Miss, Rex B. Hersey, Hunting ton, w. Va, G. A. Feather, Univer- sity of New Mexico; F. Treadwell Smith and s. M. Keeney of Harvard university; D. P. Miller, University of Denver and B. Naugle, University of Texas.
 Five years confinement in prison camps has reduced the Russians to a pitiable condition. Many are ill, some insane, and all undernourished, improperly clothed and dispirited. From the German government each receives a small monthly allowance which is insufficient to provide even the necessaries of life.
 Officers at the Wuelzburg camp re- ceive 1855 marks, which is about $310 For the meagre daily meal they get at the camp 53 marks is deducted Out of what is left they must try to buy clothes and other essentials Such a thing, for example, as dental attention is wholly beyond their means. Some have sold their last shirts to pay for shoe repairs Shoes are their crying need and the pris- orers hardly take step without cal culating the wear on their soles. Efforts made by relief workers to induce them to take up some form of athletes brought the reply, we should but it would be too hard on our clothes and shoes"
 Camp officials permit the prisoners to seek outside work, which, however. is most difficult to find One Rus sian who was employed for two weeks by peasant ruined his only pair of shoes and then was charged the full amount of his wages for his board
 Most of the prisoners have heard nothing from their families or their friends for more than two years, and the Rhodes scholars will try to help them get in touch with their , homes. In almost every camp there IS a rude theatre, the principal amusement and comfort of the men. who themselves perform the plays. In spite of their apathy, the men are interested in books and instruction, and school classes have been formed at number of the camps.

Born That Way

Some folks are born with
spirits sour, their nature is to
whine the planets. at their natal
hour, were badly out OF line.
They came complaining to the
earth, and squawk through all
their days, and they can see no
sense in mirth, they frown on
joyous jays. They choose the
grimmest sort of creed that's
filled with threats Of pain; for
there is naught will fit their need
that's pleasant, kind or sane.
They are the sad and gloomy
freaks who groan with every
breath, who see the bloom on
maiden cheeks and talk of
worms and death. In vain the
optimist may try to cheer up
gents like these; they'll answer
with dismal sigh his gladdest,
brightest wheeze. They'll say
his logic, blithe and brave, is
merely sounding brass; they'll
drool a while about the grave.
and claim all flesh is grass.
They make me weary and dis

guys. who cannot gayly laugh,
who wipe the briny from their
eyes, and quote an epitaph.
