SSHOES MAY SETTLE THE WAR,
Germany Has a Sadly shed Any, De.
clares American Just Returned
From the Front.
Berlin dispatches via London are
not the best criterion of how Germany
is standing up under the burden of
'war, but a late bit of news regarding
the scarcity of leather there Is cor
roborated by first-hand Information.
The dispatch says, according to the
Baltimore News:
"Berlin's bank clerks today set an
example in patriotic self-sacrifice. To
aid the movement in economy of leath
er, the clerks discarded their shoes.
Scores of barefooted individuals were
,seen on the principal streets gingerly
stepping along and saving thelr.tender
feet as much as possible. Berlin's shoe
stores are now selling wooden sandals,
the only leather being in toe guards."
In the News there was an interview
with Dr. Joseph Ames of Hopkins, who
has Just returned from the front on
government business, having been sent
there as a member of the national re
search council. Curiously enough,
Doctor Ames saw but one sign of weak
ening in Germany, and that, he said,
was shoe leather. To quote from the
interview :
"I saw thousands of German pris
oners while I was in France, and in
none was there the slightest further
sign of want or privation except.shoes.
They all wore shoes that were in bad
shape, and that, you know, is a thor
oughly good sign, for a badly shod
army is a half-crippled army."
It may be put down as certain that
the army is the last to be deprived
either of food or of clothes and shoes.
In war the needs of the people at home
must yield to the necessities of the
men at the front. An army without
shoes is in a bad way. The dispatch
and Doctor Ames' account of what he
saw with his own eyes are interesting
as indications that Germany Is having
troubles of her own and, doubtless, a
great many more of them than we
know anything of.
DAY OF THE RIFLE NOT OVER
le Still Valuable In Warfare, Despite
Advent of Machine Gun, Hand
Grenade and Other WeaponC.
The overwhelming position In the
D war picture occupied by the big guns,
the machine guns and Lewis guns, the
D ,importance of trench mortars, hand
D grenades, bombs, rile grenades, and
3 other accessories of trench warfare,
, make some mea think that the day of
S,the rifle as an important adjunct to
success in battle is well-nigh past.
3 Such is not the case, declares Fred
Serie Coleman in the Saturday Evening
S'Post. Those of us who can remember ,
!the brave advances of the Prussian '
Guard at Ypres, when they marched I
in battalion formation right up theI
Menin road, straight at our trenches
-on one occasion, if not more, march
ing to almost sure death at the goose
step-knew the value of accurate,
rapid rifle fire. So do these Prussian
guardsmen, if any of them are still
alive. Not many of them were left
when the broken waves of gray were
swept back, like leaves by an automn
wind.
The rifles did most of it. Machine
guns we had, to be sure, but woefully i
few of them. Those that we had
were overworked to a point that made
us wonder, not when they jammed, but
when they worked long without Jam.
ming. The rifle, in the hands of a man i
who can shoot straight and shoot with
great rapidity, is a wicked weapon
still; and the value of cold steel,
though it is not a subject on which
men who have seen it used love to
dwell, has not, so far as I can see,a
changed greatly, if at all, in the three
,years of grim war in Europe.
Saved Napolioee Heart -
So the American military leaders
have been visiting Napoleon's tomb, re
marks the London Chronicle. Did
they, one wonders, hear the story of
his heart, which the tomb iocloses?
On the night that he died his body was
prepared for embalming and the heart
was placed In water in a silver ewer.
An Irish soldier who loved Napoleon
sat up with his old muzzale-loader to
guard the body, for Longwood
swarmed with rats. It the midst of
his vigil he heard a splash in the
ewer. He fired, just in time to save
the heart from the vile rodents which
were dragging It away. Amerlcans
'knew that sentry's grandson, Sir A.
thur Sullivan, and loved his musle.

I{E(GISTItATION DAY.
The women of Algiers are to be
congratulated upon their patriotic
demonstration of Wednesday the
1!tth. Woman's Registration Day.
when such a large number answered
the call to register. Everyone felt a
it a duty she oed her country to.
help the boys at the front win the
war by backing them up with her
share of national service by actual
work or by conforming to the regu-;"
lations for food conservation.
The answer to the call for regis
tration in this war far exceeded the
expectation of the ward captain antid
her lieutenants, as the list of regis
trations at each precinct will show. i
1st Precinct .......... ... 310
2nd Precinct ...... .........340
3rd Precinct ................ 196
4th Precinct ...... ..... ....514
5th Precinct ................. 355
6th Precinct ................ 250
7th Precinct .. ............. 260
Too much praise cannot be given I
to lieutenants. commissioners and
to all the ladies who assisted in this i
patriotic work. for without their I
help and co-operation ',Registrationi
l)ay" would not have been the suc- i
cess that it was in this ward. t
The captain of the ward and her j
precinct lieutenants want to espe
cially thank Messrs. Gaspard. Foster
and Moynagh at the booths; also
Messrs. Dilzell and Gaspard and Mrs.
E. D. McNair for the use of their
automobiles.
Registration Day in Algiers was
an unqualified success and we feel
sure that it proved to be an eye- 5
opener to many who were a little b
opposed to it, not understanding a
fully what would be expected of t
them. e
Every woman is now fully alive
to her obligation to her country and
there is no doubt that when their
country calls them to show their
patriotism there will not be a slack- i
er among them.
BURGLARS.
On Monday morning, about 2 o'clock
burglars attempted to rob the resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Wilcox,
corner Delaronde and Lavergne St.,
and that of L. E. Lorio in Lavergne
street. Entrance into the Wilcox
home was effected through a window
in the dining-room. The burglar was
frightened off by members of the fam
ily before he had stolen anything.
Entrance to the Lorio residence was
gained through the kitchen window
slats of the blind being broken off.
The screen was removed and placed
against the fence. The burglar took
a spade but did not touch the silver
ware which was within easy reach.
NO NEWS OF JOHN YOUNGER.
It is indeed sad to chronicle that
no more news has been received by
Mrs. M. A. Younger of Opel6usas av
enue, in regard to her son, John
Younger, who was a member of the
crew of the Antilles which was des
troyed last week by a submarine. We
deeply sympathize with the family for
the anxious hours they are spending
hoping against hope that he may pos- I
sibly have been saved.
Younger was first assistant engin
eer and itf he were in the engine 4
room, there is hardly any chance of
his having made his escape.
