LEGENDS OF WAR
Many Strange Superstitions Are
Born on Battlefield.
GOLD COINS GOOD LUCK SIGNS
To Dream of Autobus Considered Death
Token—Appeals to Have Currenoy
Sent to Bank of France and Keep It
From Enemy Reduces Amount at
Front.
Paris.—The character of the war has
allowed a number of legends and su
perstitions to be born and spread,
some of which can be traced and ex
plained, while others remain obscure.
To dream of an autobus has become
a token of death. Apollinaire, the
poet, has found this superstition in
four different regiments and gives a
story of a sergeant who succeeded in
averting the omen in the case of a cor
poral who said he had dreamed of an
autobus. "How can tliut be,'1 the ser
geant asked, "when you have never
been to Paris or seen an autobus?"
The corporal described tho vision.
"That an autobus!" declared the ser
geauL "Why, that's one of those new
machines that the English are using.
Don't let that worry you."
A regiment from the south has the
same belief about an automobile wagon
Instead of an autobus and can quote
many examples of the truth of such
dreams.
Gold coins arc n mascot in the front
lines, a superstition not difficult to ex
plain. It was at first believed that
wounded men on whr>t<i some gold was
found would be better looked after by
those who fc.unl them, and by degrees
tho belief grew up, especially anions
artillery, that a gold coin was a talis
man against being mutilated if they
were taken prisoners whether wounded
or not.
Apolllnalrc knew of a certain battery
which in May, 1015, had f-ome ?1,000
in gold among its men, thanks chiefly
to their commerce in rings, paper
knives and other souvenirs, made by
them from cartridge cases and alumi
num and sold to foot- soldiers.
The government's appeals to have
gold sent to the Bank of France aud
not to let it fall into enemy bands in
case of capture have since reduced the
amount of gold at the front, but many
keep some coins as a charm. Mauy men
sew coins touching one another in such
a way as to make a shield over the
heart.
A story that is believed in the ranks
shows how gold can attract the Ger
mans. A sergeant made a gold coin
glitter in the sun ami some thirsty
German soldiers walked right up to the
French trench, charmed by its dazzle,
and were easily captured.
"Every man has his own particular
star,'' a Lyons farm hand said to Apol
llnalre, "but he must know it. A gold
coin is the only means to put you in
communication with your star, so that
its protecting virtue can be exercised.
I have a piece of gold and so am easy
in my mind I shall never be touched."
As a matter of fact he was seriously
wounded luter.
MULE BEAT HORSE AND MOTOR
Proved Superior In Rural Mail Service
Through Snow and Ice.
MUldleboro, Mass. — A sure footed
mule accustomed to many hardships
proved superior to horse and motorcar
In the delivery of rural mail through
highways packed deep with drifts of
ice and snow. Not since tile rural route
hereabout was established fifteen years
ago had such road conditions been re
ported os a result of a March snow
storm.
Samuel Guilford, a carrier, tried to
reach the country districts In a horse
drawn pung, but mnde no progress.
Later an automobile was pressed into
use; but, like the horse, It failed. Then
Guilford hired n mule aud experienced
no further trouble.
ODD MALADY IN WISCONSIN.
Swollen Glands and High Temperature
Features of Outbreak.
Galesvllle, Wis.—Four persons have
died here and scorcs are ill, some crit
ically. from a disca.se the nature of
which has baffled physicians from the
Rochester (Minn.) foundation and the
local health authorities. Schools have
been closed us a result of the outbreak.
City officials appealed to physicians
in other cities for assistance in check
ing the spread of the malady. Accord
ing to the statement of physicians who
have had the disease under observa
tion, little difficulty is experienced in
detecting the symptoms, swollen
glands and high temperature, but add
that the proper treatment has not been
developed
"BABY WEEK" IS SELECTED.
Welfare Association Sets May 1-6 as
Period of Celebration.
New York.—May 1 to C has been des
ignated as "baby week'' throughout
the country. The Babies' Welfare as
sociation of New York city urges all
organizations to undertake local cele
brations in the districts where they
work and advises that in view of the
present national situation no attempt
be made to form a centrally organized
committee to run a campaign like
those of previous years.
It is felt that the work of instructing
parents in the needs and rights of
babyhood can be done Just as effective
ly in this way.
