MOTORCYCLES
MODERN
WARFARE
Daring Riders as Scouls, Dispatch
Hearers and in Hospital
Service.
IRISHMEN ARMED WITH GUNS
Germany Mounts Its Aids de Camp
end Messengers on Fast-Moving
Machines.
American array officers arc studying
the uso of the motorcycle In modern
warfare. Many of them are ardent ad
vocates of tho extension of that service
In our army work, confident that the
operations of the thoroughly drilled
motorcyclists of European armies will
show that It la destined to be one of
the most Important of tho auxiliaries
of the army. Already the motorcycle,
both in its original form na a means
of rapid locomotion for a single dis
patch rider and in the Inter develop
ment as n mobile way of carrying ob
servation officers about a field of oper
ations more quickly than on horse
back, have been tested here Incident
ally. Experimental use bus been made of
the machines In the regular service as
well as in the National Guard of sev
eral of the states. A serious study of
the possibilities of the service has not
yet been inado as It has been abroad.
Such men in the service as are a little
ahead of the sometimes dilatory move
ments of our military authorities have
speculated already on the possibilities
of the service, and are waiting with in
terest detailed statements of the con
duct of the campaign in Europe in
order to see wnat part tne macnines
have played and how far expectations
as to their utility have ben realized.
In the advanco of the German army
through Belgium both Germans and
Belgians used tho motorcyclist largely
in stouting work. Aeroplanes, used as
the eyes of both the invaders and de
fenders, have located scouting parties
and tho advanco armies, and then
through the services of motorcyclists
have been able to communicate swiftly
and certainly with the bodies of cav
alry, whose duty it has been to hew
the way for the safer movement of the
infantry masses and the supporting ar
tillery. The French and English hnve
used their motorcycle corps for the
same purpose. Whether Austria and
rtiUbln are now using these scouts is
not definitely known anions military
men In this country, no details of army
operations being at hand as yet.
k With the side cars attached to these
rapidly moving machines they wero
used in the transfer of surgeons from
reserve corps to tho front, where the
"services of tho doctors were needed to
nttend the wounded. These side-car
machines are also being used fo move
wounded from the field to the hospitals
in the rear, doing the work more
humanely and rapidly than It could be
Tioue by stretcher bearers or ambul
ances, thus adding materially to the
effectiveness of the hospital train and
relieving fighting mon of tliat duty.
urses have boon rushed In the side
seat cycles frcm'bno point to another
when motor cars Intended for their
transportation were in use elsewhere.
Supplies were also carried in the car
riers attached. to tneBe hirh-poyyuibu,
machines.

column while an army is in motion, his
work is dangerous in the extreme.
Only men who are absolutely devoid
of fear, reckless and yet cool-headed,
able to think and act quickly in emer
gencfes, are used In the dispatch-bearing
and scouting end of the service. A
soldier looking for excitement Ib pretty
certain to get all he wants in this part
of a service that lias been developed
almost entirely In tho last two years.
-"'British army officors have used the
motorcycle corps with tho best of re
suits in the stringing of field telegraph
and telephone wires and rapid instal
lation of this means of communication
on the field fn army maneuvers. They
took to France men trained especially,
in this branch of the service to bo used
in placo of the older methods where
bulky wagons wero used to transport
telegraph and telephone equipment.
American manufacturers have com
paratlvely little Interest in the use of
the mnchino in war, but one of .them
having extensive vorks abroad, that
one in England. But they have shipped
many machines for government use to
Japan, where it is believed thoro is an
efficient motorcycle corps attached to
the army, as tho machines have been
of Ihe 7-9-horse-power type, the most
powerful made. It is hardly probable
that theso are hitonded for rural mall
dolivery servlco.

"That's a line looking man who
just passed. Who is he?" asked the
stranger.
"That man is Professor Knowles,
one of the brightest men in the uni
versity. Did you
notice that he is
blind?" replied
the minister.
"Blind! No. He
didn't walk like
a blind man,"
and he turned to
look.
"He rarely
goes out with
out one of his
children, and
holding a little
hand he walks
off with the
stride that is
natural to him,"
replied the min
ister. "Then he has
n't been blind
long?"
"No. He is the head of tho de
partment of chemistry and a very
brilliant man. One day about five
years ago he was alone- in his private
laboratory bendinir over a crucible.
The, experiment was Tiearing com
pletion when. the thing exploded.
Students in the next room heard the
loise and raninic was lying on
the fio"br". They thought he was dead
at first, for hi was unconscious. Ho
was badly cut about the face. They
carriea" lnm to the hospital and the
cuts soon healed, but he was totally
blind."
"How terrible," said his friend.
"He has children, you say?"
"Yes, three of them; they were
mere babies. His wife is a very
pretty, dressy woman. She was a
leader in society, belonged to two
clubs, besides- the musical society
which she'brganized. She is an ac
complished musician. I tell you,
she's the stuff." said the minister en

"The day of rowdyism, of punching
and being punched, of whlte'hopea and
things like that, is going out," said
the girl who had merely dropped in
for a call.
"So you have met him, have you?"'
asked tho at home gill.
"Yes, I saw Morgan Brown yester
day. It is the first tline I havo seen
him since I turned him down. Ho waa
not quite a luff Ian while I permitted
him to call."
"Since you turned him down! So
you turned him down, did you? He
told mo something about that."

"My dear, you are right. However,
there was no other man connected

tended a club meeting since tl.e ac
cident, and society knows -her no
more. She has been eyes to that
man.
"During the dark days following
the accident he talked of resigning
his professorship. She would not
hear of it. She knew his whole
heart was in his work and that he
needed that interest in life more than
ever, so she persuaded him to wait
and see" if she could not help him
enough to make it possible to con
tinue the work. She took up the
study of chemistry with him for a
teacher; she learned to perform ex
periments with the greatest ac
curacy. They go together to his
laboratory and she is his hands and
eyes. His work has not suffered at
all. He has published a book, too,
dictating it to her.
"The children almost quarrel as to
which is to lead him when they walk.
Positively, it is the happiest family
I know. In the evening they gather
fn the big living room and she plays
and sings for him or reads aloud.
"If any mention is made of- his
blindness, he laughs and says: 'I
have four pairs of eyes; what more
do I need?" He has done his part
by never allowing his loss to sadden
him He is the life of the house,
just as he was before the accident.
" 'There's a great advantage in be
ing blind,' he often says. 'A man is
allowed to stay 'at home and enjoy
his life.' He always hated social
functions."
"How does he handle his class
room work?" asked his companion.
"He is a lecturer, and for experi-
ments before the class he always has
had an assistant," replied the min
ister. "Is his wife sensitive about his
blindness?"
"No, she seems perfectly happy.
You know nothing makes a woman
happier than the thought that she is
necessary to her husband, and they
fly swatter from the kitchen cabinet
and made a dasli at tho mouse and
nenrly broke his fingers against the
leg of the cabinet. Then he raced
after tho mouse across tho' kitchen
and bumped his eye against the cor
ner of a shelf. He staggered back
ward and hurt his ear when ho col
lided with the water heater. As if
this wero not enough, ho stooped to
look beneath the kitchen table just as
I moved a chair, and he struck his
mouth on tho chair back. Then he
saw the mouse going beneatli the re
frigerator and lie dived in pursuit.
But tho creature went through tho
lloor where the waste plpo leaves the
kitchen and escaped."
"Ridiculous!"
"Wasn't It? There was I in n chair,
showing silk, and Morgan spraddled
out on the floor holding his ear with
ono hand, a broken fly swatter in the
other, while ho looked at tlie hole
through which tho mouso had disap
peared, and said things. I novor heard
an angry man uso such language! But
you would never guess what ho said
as ho shook his fist at that waste
pipe."
"Very likely. Somotlmes tho char
actor of a person's upbringings pre
cludes their guessing along certain
markB?"
"Oh, yes. Ho shook his fist at the
mouso hole and said: 'You darned lit
tlo rascal! Tho next time I play tag
with you you "will know It!'"
"Ah!" said the girl who dropped In
for a call.
Changed Her Mind
"Girls," said young Mrs. Allison, ad
justing her crillnr to n bpquottlBh anglo
and smoothing her plqucBltjrt, "I have
news! Now, what do you think?"
"War on millinery?" Inquired the
young matron with auburn hull-, cou
cisely. VNolther," said young Mrs. Allison,
with a grin. "Matrimony."

breath and suspended needles. "Hurry

"I nover hurry' said young Mrs. Alii
non, placidly; JJHaste, my beloved hear
ers, is tho curse' of tho American com
monwealth, tho destroyer of courtly
manners and the handicap of the rising
generation,-' because "
''Do you, charge' admission?" inter
rupted the young, matron with auburn
hair, pertly.
"Because," continued the speaker,
firmly, "it racks the nerves and wastes
tho vitality and reduces tho mind to n
state of weariness. It makes tho fat
man look fatter and tho thin man look
thinner."
"She sounds llko a patent cement
house advertisment," murmured the
auburn haired matron. "Cool in win
ter and warm In summeror Is it the
other way about!"
"And," finished young Mrs. Allison,
with determination, "It cakes the pow
der on every woman's nose!"
"Nonsense, Celeste," said the fluffy
haired blonde. "Weren't you ever late
for a dressmaker's appointment?"
"You'd ' etter believe I was," con
ceded young Mrs. Allison, with sudden
ruefulness. "Three-quarters of an
hour, tills very morning. Where's my
powder rag now?"
"In your belt," remarked tlie auburn
haired member crl&ply. "And what is
your news?"
"Oh, that!" said young Mrs. Allison,
brightly enthusiastic again. "How
could I forget it! Such news, my
dears! Quite important enough to
honor this occasion of our last meet
ing before we adjourn for our several
vacation to fade our hair and peel
our noses. All right, then, I'll tell, Me
lissa is engaged."
"No!" cried the mombers, in unison.
"Will some one please tell me," in
quired tho fluffy-haired blonde, "why
It is that when a girl, even the hand
somest of girls, announces her en
gagement, the feminine audience al
ways says 'No,' just like that with one
voice?"
"The world is astonished at hor
temerity, my love," answered young
Mrs. Allison, promptly. "Here's Me
llssa now!"
The sewing circle fell upon the tall
brunette in the doorway and showered
her with felicitations.
"Now," ended the matron with au
burn hair, "tell us about him, dear.
You've always said you'd never, never,
nover marry a red-headed man, a per
son in the railroad business, or a Dem
ocrat, so, I suppose, he is none of those
tilings. Is he tall and dark?"
"His complexion is about like yours,"
hesitated the graceful brunette with
her eyes on her thimble.
"Wh-what?" cried the sewing circle,
aghast.
Young Mrs. Allison grinned again
and looked out the corner of her eye,
at the fluffy-haired blonde. "And what
does he do for a living, my child?"
she inquired persuasively.
"He's secretary of the J. B. & M. rail
road," said the bride-to-be. "And," she
added, Indignantly, before tho shout of
laughter quite drowned her voice, "he
says he voted last time for Wilson,
but he, has promised me positively that
next time he'll vote for Jane Ad

"I wished to ask you if you under

of refrigeration?"
"I do. I understand all about It.
But If you have your heart sot upon

"A refrigerator is for tho purpose
of keeping meats and vegetables from
spoiling. The cold air thrown off by
tho melting of the ice in a refrigerator
circulates downward. Hot air, you
know, rises "
"I know; there Is a quantity of It
