politically early in the game, but
usually comes under the wire at as
lively a pace as most communities.
1t is not thought this year will be an
exception to that rule. No claims are
made by the harrington supporters
as to the number already enrolled in
the club, but those who have seen
the list say that 1t is good one and
should be pleasing to Mr.. Earring

Tobacco Dries Up
AS Yankees Leave
Natives Don't Like It

Coblenz, Jan. 25-(A. T. by MalD-
The last of the American troops left
Collenz something like a year ago,
and today about tho only visible re-
minders OF them are packages OF
stale American pipe tobacco and
cigarettes on the shelves Of the little
shops of the city. waiting for the
purchaser who probably never will
appear. For Germans do not care
Tor tho American brancs.
These Saily colored little boxes,
once eagerly sought by the boy
from Kansas but now neglected and
dust covered, have moved n local
writer to speculate on tho part to-
| bacco has played | in warfare. He
, finds that the weed always has been
enc of the soldiers best friends, and
that men in the field have consumed
1t in great quantities. This was
, doubtless due in large measure to
the open air life. European soldiers
! always have been heavy smokers, in
the last war as well as in the con-
flicts of olden times. Napoleon used
snuff, lots of it when on the march:
the life of Frederick the Great was
once saved when a bullet nattcncd
out dS'tIuot a. SUlll DON III HIS pocket,
and Seydlitz, one of the famous cav
airy generals of history, was 4 slave
TO his pipe.
Back in 1894 the records show that
German officers, campaigning with
the Duke of York in Holland. were
invetTate smokers and in the French
army in 1858 there was an Issue Of
enc pound month Of tobacco to
every soldier.
But nevertheless there have been
famous soldiers who disliked tobacco
as much as the Duke of WELLINGTON
who smoked but once, after dining
with the Duke of Cumberland at
Portsmouth. and then more 10 obligc
the duke than anything else. 1t is
related also that General Butcher, in
1907, noted with horror that many Of
his officers were in the habit Of
smoking in the streets ana other
public places even though III uni
form. SO he issued an order in
which the practice was denounced.

There is, however, so little Amer
lean tobacco left in Coblenz that the
argument of this German observer
seems to be justified: aathered all to-
gcther and issued to a coupe or com

probably would last them not more
than one day.

by Bulgaria agreeing to pay approx

the Rumanian claim on the proper
