 During one recent torrid spell about 50 buck privates were recuper- ating in the pool from two hours drill in the morning before the noon day meal.
 Suddenly. with a terrified shriek, soldier sprang out of tn baths:
 ''Crocodiles, Lieutenant. there are crocodiles in the pool"
 Put a blanket around this man and take him to the guardhouse. He is crazy with the heat" said the lieu tenant.
 Then with concerted rush which edualled anything ever shown against the Germans, the other 49 bathers leaped out. "Crocodiles, crocodilesi' thev shrieked
 The lieutenant veteran of many battles, looked closer at tn water and there with jaws set and eyes staring at him, surely enough were six large crocodiles. The lieutenant's face hlanched and he wondered whether he too had become affected by the heat or, perhaps. the red wine. Just then two men bearing an instru- ment which resembled machine gun on high stilts came along: Don't hurt our crocodiles." they begged the lieutenant 'They're harmless and we need them in our film"

Question in England is: Can Famous Publisher Bring
 About Leader S Fall?
BY MIlTIN BRONNER

LONDON, Aug. 6. - It's war to the death now between the two most in fluential men in the British empire Lloyd George, the premier, and Lord Northcliffe, the publisher.
 Lord Northcliffe made Lloyd George premier.
 The question is, can the publisher unmake the premier?
 Williams there are in the British Isles who will bet he can.
 The issue will be decided either be- fore or during the coming disarma- ment conference in Washington. Lord Northcliffe is opposing the apparent intention of Lloyd George to attend this conference as the representative of Great Britain "Of all the states men in Europe he is probably the most distrusted," the publisher says of the premier
 Personal Affront
 Whatever Lord Northcliffe had said through his papers and whatever Lloyd George had said in reply was regarded as merely differences on matters of public policy until the British embassy at Washington per sonally affronted Lord Northcliffe by withdrawing invitations to a din ner which it had planned to give fol him.
 This is a personal insult which Lord Northcliffe will exact retribu tion for, if it takes his last pound, say close acquaintances of the pub | fisher.

DIXMUDE, Belgium. Aug G. The inhabitants of Langemarck.

 The peasants around the forest have become experts in artillery and the barrage that night, they say, was something more terrific than they had ever heard during the war First there came volleys of the familiar German seventy Austrian eighty-eights to which there would raniv the rapid staccato of hundreds of batteries of French seventy-fives.

NEW YORK. Aug. G. - Geological gardens the world over. after letting the wild animals stay in the wilder ness during the war. are emulating Noah again.

 So when the war was over there was a shortage of caged animals. The Allies. having captured Germany's goat. now set about tO acquire her other geological possessions.

Rumor That Noted Inventor Sleeps Only Four Hours

 That question has been asked more often than any other concerning the answered till today.
 But now l have the straight of it from none other than Mrs. Edison her self, who has just explained to me her husbands theory and system of sleep.
 Edison does sleep only four hours a night, and sometimes less than that when he's working.
 But when he plays and relaxes. he catches up in sleep He sleeps at , night and he maps through the day seven hours, ten hours, sometimes a great deal more.
 Rests Scientifically MT Edison takes his rest scien- ! tifically," said Mrs. Edison When he works he works hard and works long hours. When he sleeps he sleeps ] just as hard.
 | This is the time when he sleeps here in camp. Another time is at Ft. Myers, on the west coast of Florida.
 Down there he almost hibernates, and with sleep he rebuilGs himself against another rigorous spell of work ! We have hammocks all around the house. Mir. Edison goes from one hammock 10 another sleeping his way around the house. moving on as the sun drives him out.

 Sometimes at night he may sleep only few hours. But when he is back close to nature to the trees and woods and creeks he loves he sleeps during the day.

TASSELED TURBANS IN GRAY
Color in Numerous Shades Popular for
Millinery, Furs, Shoes and
Other Apparel.

A color which is very popular just
now is gray. Years ago gray was
gray and that was all there was TO it,
but now it has q myriad of names and
tones. MoOnstole, cloud, cinder, pe'i-
can and zine are q few of them.
Many of the new draped and tas-
Seled turbans are shown in sthis color,
silk and soft dYvetyns being the mate
rails employed in the fashioning of
these new shapes.
Gray furs such as squirrel and lamb
are popular, too, and worn with q
bright blue suit, a neckpiece and a
jaunty chapeau in one of these soft
tints make a most pleasing combina-
ton. But blue is not the only color
which combines artistically with gray
brown, so much in vogue this fall as
n street shade, goes splendidly with
it, too, opossum being used on many a
beautifully tinted suit or coat.
Shoes are another part of the cos
tune which has fallen under the spell
of gray, and many of the newest boots
are coming in delicate tones of this
color.
