Huns Continued
Devilish Acts
ToTheEnd
With the British-American Armies.
—Oe-'t'"r •! vi' :eemed to know no
a ; »f fighting on
the Hriti.-h fro:it. after the Hinden
burg lino had been shattered. They
attached grenades to the bodies of
dead Huns left behind in the German
retreat, so that when the bodies were
lifted the grenades exploded, killing
or wounding the bearers.
Near the town of Le Gateau, a num
ber of Australian stretcher bearers
were killed by these grenades in at
tempting to remove some German
dead from the field from in front
of an American machine-gun position.
Thereafter, no Australian would put
hand on a dead German. In some
cases the bodies were dragged to their
burial places by means of a long
rope, which allowed the stretcher
bearers to keep out of range of any
exploding baud grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand,
hit upon a plan of making the Ger
man prisoners bury their own dead.
In one instance, a Boche prisoner was
summarily shot because he refused to
remove the body of one of his dead
companions. An examination of the
body later led to the discovery that
It was mined. The German was aware
of this fact and refused to touch It.
In one small town evacuated by the
Germans, many of the bods werd
found to be mined. An American offi
cer, tired and worn by hurd fighting,
sought rest on a lounge In a room pre
viously occupied by a German officer.
The lounge blew up and he was in
stantly killed.
Another officer picked up a pair of
field glasses, left by the Germaus, anil
was adjusting the focus when the
glasses exploded in his hands auil
blew away part of his face.
The Huns had become adept in the
nefarious business of making Infernal
machines, mines and time fuses, and
there was scarcely an area where the j
electrical and engineering experts of
the allies did not find some new form
of their fiendish ingenuity.

JAMES KNEW IT WAS COMING
So, Contrary to All Precedent, He
Pleaded With His Mother to Ad
minister the "Dose."
James, his mother culled him, but
he preferred the nanie of Jlmrale. by
which the neighborhood knew him.
He also preferred rough-and-tumble
clothes to starchy clean apparel—the
movies to Sunday school—and almost
anything to grade school, although he
had given It only n few weeks' trial,
the Kansas City Star says.
While his f.ither is overseas with a
government permit to hunt the Hun,
the mother adds to the family Income
by working In nn office close to home.
James had made it a custom to meet
his mother at the closing hour and ac
company her home.
Early one morning James started for
school dressed In a clean new suit.
That evening en almost unrecogniza
ble six-yenr-old youngster awnlted his
mother at the office. Immediately
upon her appearance he stepped forth
with the explanation, forestalling any
thing that might be said or done on
her part. "I didn't go to school. I
went riding with the coal man. I
'spect you're going to whip me." Plac
ing a smudgy hand upon his mother's
arm, he continued: "Come on, let's
hurry home and get It over with."
The Frenchman
Is Devoted To
His Home
In counting the sorrows that hare
fallen upon Franc# one must remember
that her people, for the most part,
have no wandering Instinct In their
blood; various causes, temperamental,
economic, have made of them a race
that roots stubbornly. A race that
plans forward, that builds and saves
and stints; that has little careless
trust In the future, In the haphazard
turn of events; that holds to what
It has and Improves it uuadventurous
ly but steadily; a race, In the prov
inces especially, of small owners, small
landholders, \mnll shopkeepers. With
such the roots are driven deep Into the
soil, are entv.lned about the house they
seldom move u-ora; for which reason
the towns la which they and their
fathers have dwelt have 4 lasting Indi
viduality unict.own with more emigrant
races. And :!or the ?ame reason, I
make no doubt that when they are
driven forth by the chances of war
their suffering Is greater than that of I
a people as Instinctively emigrant as
ourselves. To the Frenchman, home
Is In very truth an abiding place, and
the unknown and unsettled future a
greater dread than with us. Always I
shall remember the dulled, tight-lipped
faces of the older women of the town;
of one, In particular, wTio stared
through the splintered windows of the
little shop thut was her home, not
seeming to hear while I stumbled
out my sympathy, resentful and si
lent In her hopelessness. The little
shop and the rooms behind It had been
life and the world to herself and her
husband for years. . , . None of them
was emotional outwardly; but their
mouths and their eyes were despair
ing.—Cicely Hamilton In the North
American Review.
Valuable Books Found.
Sharon, Pa.—In moving Thlel col
lege library at Greenville to another
building many rare and almost price
less books of Latin and Greek text
were found. One book was printed by
Zell at Cologne In 1473, a Virgil's
Aeneid was printed In 1501 and one in
1508. A history of Rome, printed by
Andrew Welcher in 1586 at Frankfort
and a German religious work, printed
In 1504. are in a good state of preser
vation. Among the other volumes is
an iron-bound Bible.

TOOK 375 HUNS
An example of the supremacy of
American valor over that of the Hun
Is shown by the feat of this Yank,
Sergt. Harry T. Adame, who distin
guished himself in a cleanup in the
salient of St. Mlhiel by capturing 375
German prisoners with only firing
two shots. The Germans without
doubt were so frightened by the Amer
ican manner of fighting, that of stop
ping for nothing, that tfiey all surren

FUEL OIL KILLS SEAGULLS
Stick Fast In Fluid From Wrecked
Steamer and Starve to
Death.
Seattle, Wash.—Thousands of dead
seagulls soaked with fuel oil strew the
waters of Lynn canal near the wreck
of (he steamship Princess Sophia, ac
cording to steamship captains arriv
ing here. When the Princess Sophia
was swept on the rorks of Vanderbllt
reef her fuel oil tanks burst, releasing
the (>11, which soon covered the water
for a great distance. The gulls alight
ing la the water were Instantly made
helpless and soon starved to death.
Where a Motion Was Just as Good.
In the woods just west of Thlnu
court a lieutenant in the sanifary
corps went out to test the water in a
near-by spring. While he was on this j
Job he looked up Just in time to see ,
two Boches advancing. Alt'iough
armed with nothing deadlier than a j
flrst-ald pouch, he made n motion
toward his right hip. Immediately j
both Boches, catching the motion,
lifted their hands In surrender.
Other Boches soon came forward I
from the woods, and each, coming sud-1
denly upon the officer still making j
threatening motions toward his pistol-1
Jess hip, surrendered in turn.
By the time a sergeant and five j
Tankee privates came along the lieu
tenant had a bag of 19 German prison- j
•r» to turn over to them.—Stars and j

Many Dog Heroes
Were Put To
Death
All but six of the famous St. Ber
nard dogs kept by the monks cf that
ancient monastery In the Alps have
been killed. Shortage of meat caused
by the war led to this massacre.
The St. Bernard pass Is o< histori
cal renown. It connects the valleys of
the Rhone and the Dora Baltea. It
was traversed by Roman legions thou
sands of years ago. In medieval times
the pass served the armies of conquer
ors and the band9 of mercenaries. Na
poleon crossed the Alps at this point
in 1800.
The great monastery was built In
the middle of the sixteenth century. It
was maintained for the relief of trav
elers who were surprised by snow-'
storms while crossing the pass. The
St. Bernard dogs were used to find the
frozen victims of the storms In the
snowdrifts. They were specially train
ed for this work of relief and carried
the first aid to the Injured In a little
basket attached to their collars. These'
dogs rescued thousands of human be
ings, many of whom were of historical
prominence. And for the first time In
the history of this famous monastery
the dogs had to be slaughtered for want
of food. At other times a report of this
sort would create profound Interest In
Paris, but at present the human race
Is thinking of Its own necessities and
cares less about dog heroes living more
than 8,100 feet above the surface of
the sea.
CORNCOBS PUT TO GOOD USE
Belief That They Can Be Made the
Nucleua of a Great and Profit*
able Industry.
Corncobs—a great waste product In
the world's greatest corn-producing na
tion—hare been made to yield adhes
ive gum and other useful substances
In quantities sufficient to convince
chemists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture that the nucleus
of a profitable and Important Industry
lies In this direction.
In addition to adhesive gum, experi
ments have produced cellulose and glu
cose, both of which have many com
mercial uses. The glucose so produced
crystallizes well, and It Is believed can
be used In the same ways as crystal
line glucose from starch. Manufac
ture of alcohol by the fermentation of
corncob glucose appears practicable If
sulphuric acid Is obtainable cheaply.
To utilise corncobs commercially,
the chemists believe, a large and cost
ly plant would be necessary, and the
bureau of chemistry does not advise
any enterprise of the sort In war time.
