On arrival he was conducted to his room. He shuddered ns he mounted the stairs at the new gilding which disfigured the lovely old woodwork. His room was sumptuous, but more wonderful was the bathroom, with Its marble walls and tinted marble bath, let into the floor In 'Roman fashion. j "wiint iro vnn rtnine?" asked a i ".....

"Oh. you cripple." They closed the doors and windows to the joy of life for the b<>y of sixteen years old, paralyzed on one side from his infancy. The bitter tragedy of his fate must have overwhelmed his bright, sensitive. soul yesterday, alone in his home No. 81 Washington Place, Passaic, says the New York World of last Wednesday. His brother John, eleven, j a newsboy, was busy on the streets with his papers. His sister Sophie, j fourteen, was out or. some school girl affairs of Christmas holidays. His i father was at work In a mill and his mother had gone to shop for the family dinner. Willie's three canary birds twittered as their cages swung In the sunshine of his room. Pictures of birds and dogs and wild animals cov- ' ered its walls. But Willie had no eyes ; for them. The picture Hi his soul was a future of hobbling through jeers and I lameness. So the boy cut loose from so btack a life. He nnngea nimsew from a gaspipe in the bathroom. Sometimes with a crutdh, Sometimes j making his painful way without it, j the child was a pathetic figure in the ! neighborhood where he was held in warm affection. He was invited to every Christmas tree party, and almost always Willie was Santo Clans because, he took the part so well and the little children were so tickled with what he said when he gave them their presents. ' , The little ones loved him but the boys of his own age made his school life unbearable. Willie was so much brighter than most of them, with their whole legs and arms, the stupid and cruel among them could never forget and .seldom forgave him. Many, many times, his mother said, her little boy came bravely home but cried his heart out for hours when safe from the* eyes of the boys who had taunted him with his lameness. Dogs would do tricks at his nod and j bite at stronger lads who tried to inaHq them obey. Animals trusted him and he loved them, reading every bonk on natural liiutory he could get. I'retty little girls would gather around Willie as he sat on the iloor and told | ghost stories as nobody else they knew eoulil tell them. Their ktilekcr- i bockered squires shivered in delight over Willie's tales, but treated him with mannish contempt then and called him "Cripples" when the lit tie girls were not around. The child, because his age was less than his years, had a real identity and every neighbor who went to the Simkowltz home last evening had tears for the boy who had found life too hard. WATSON IS SATISFIED / Senator Believes He Underestimated Number cf Illegal Executions. "Hearttrending evidence is pouring in every day." said Senator Tom Watson of Georgia, referring to his charge that American soldiers were hanged abroad without trial and that many brutalities were committed by officers in the Expeditionary Army. "Ex-service men all over the country are sending .in corroborations of my statements. There \. ill be ample and conclusive testimony to prove every declaration 1 made." The special committee of the senate designated to investigate charges preferred by Senator Watson is now in recess, sovs a Washington dispatch to the New York World, subject to the call of Chairman Brandegee. It 13 possible that the resumption of hearings will be postponed until after the holiday recess. I The names of more than 100 former soldiers in the ^American army abroad have been furnished the special committee by Senator Watson. It is expected that all of these will l?e subpoenaed. An additional list will be prepared by Mr. Watson as communications are received by hint outlining just what line of testimony can . be supplied by the writers. A synopsis ot' all the letters and telegrams has been arranged by Mr. I Watson for the use of the committees i when it reassembles. He has briefed j each communication, t-iking out only I the portions referring to illegal exeeu< tions. Each has l?eon numbered, so I that the original letter may be obtained by the committee if desired ' without trouble or delay.

Ae| cording to the intcrpreta-tlors put upon it by Mr. Watson the officer vh. tunlly admitted he had shot private* i soldiers himself. | oenaior nam uhu, j<kihmi? 1 from the numerous communications reaching him, his original charge of illegal executions had underestimated rather than overstated the number. | It has been clearly demonstrated, ho . said, that the; records of the War De( partment are incomplete r.nd do not I furnish accurate information ' con- ! corning the refer number of soldiers executed without trial of any kind. 'I certainly have proved my case as far as it goes," said Senator Wat- , son. "The special committee re-1 etrictod its investigation to illegal executions. leaving out all other forms J of brutalities. This meaab tte inquiry is limited to hangings, shootings, beat- I ings and other methods l>y which | former soldiers were killed without trial." The utmost confidence was expressed by Senator Watson In the outcome of the Investigation, It is certain, he said, that lhos$ who are being brought J here for the purpose of te3ti 'ying will fully substantiate all the assertions ! made t>y him on the floor of the senate. ; PROTECTION FOR POTASH ?;? Thirty-four American Concerns Ask j for Heavy Tariff en Fertilizer. The thirty-four American fertilizer' concerns which contracted to take 75 per cent, of their potash requirements for this season from the Gorman Potash Syndicate have contracted with French mines in Alsace for the remaining 25 por cent, the Senate Finance committee was- told last Friday by Wilbur Iroe of Washington, of counsel for the United States Potash, Producers' association. These thirtyfour companies produce more than GO peg cent of'the potash fertilizer turned out in this country. Mr. I-a roe said. I He testified that the federal trade commission had reported in 1910 that the Virginia-Carolina Chemical coyi- [ pnny which is opposing a tariff on pot- j asli, nyd important nomings in werman poUish mining companies. The j witness declined that if given protoe- I tion for Ave years, as proposed, ttie American potash industry could supply all the needs of tlic United States. | Unless it is protected, he. ndded, American faniifciti will be at the mercy of tin* German potash company. The committee was told that even if the tariff were reflected in the* price ol domestic jvotash it would amount to an increase of only from ten cents to forty cents an acre of1.crops. Mr. Igiroe said the American industry was built j up during the stress ef war end at war prices, hut that desrdtc this prices had been cut sev?ral hundred per cent. I from the peak price of the war, costing now ot:e dollar per unit of twenty j [ pounds of pure potash. | American farmers are in favor of the proposed tariff, the witness con- j tinned declaring that they realized j that competition in the production of 1 potash fertilizer was to their advantage in the long tun. EXPRESS TO BE LOWER New Ruling Rerults In Five Per Cent. Lower Rates. According to recently printed slatisj tics, it is estimated that the public ; will save approximately $1,500,000 as a result if the removal of war tax of express shipment#. The revenue act of i !>21 removes f me war inx 01 ui:e ii-.n un i > j twenty cents and fractions thereof in transportation charges on all express shipments. The tax during the year 1!)20 imounted to $17,502,018. The avI erage war tax paid on these ship* i ments was eight cents. The remove.! I of tlits tax, therefore, will virtually j amount to a decrease in rates of api proximately five per cent. In view i of this decrease in transportation I charges, as a result of the elimination i <>f the tax. it is believed that there ' will be a stimulating effect and busii n ess will begin an increase, throughi out the country. It is estimated that the American ! Railway Express company handles j pearly one million shipments every j day, or approximately four hundred ; million shipments a year. This fact j indicates thai the express company ' will lie relieved of a great amount of labor in the matter of ealcubting and the collection of the tax. ?

GERMANY CANT PAY? I J Hamburg Chamber of Commerce Says It Is a Physical Impossibility. Tiie < fon ts of Germany during .19"1 j to fulfill her peace obligations have failed and ii is idle* to think that any! political'or economic efforts will now sue . ceil unless these conditions nrej j uodifiid, dfc'arcd the annual report of; .he Hamburg Chamber of Commerce,, ssued recently. "Those who still bclieVe the London j u tinuuum can be cirried out,'* saysj the report, "cither are without judg-i rent or do not desire fulfillment, but j the destruction of (Jermany, which in; time would react on France, England, and America." The report asserts a way out of the Hii?mmn could be found by a very sim??lo means, as follows: He vision of the treaty of Versailles! and of the London agreements to a| r easonable basis, making it posslblt j j for Germany to secure foreign credits; j a conference of issuing banks of inj tcrested nations for the regulation of German exchange uod the restitution of the German colonies, or at least a German mandate over these colonics.

The Doctor.?They laugh at sears ! who never had a wound. Those who are well de'ight in calling the doctor a (quark. The doctor, they say, is a solid thodv of ignorance entirely surroundedi by bluff; lie knows a little concerning Uw ills that afflict mankind, but for the tnost part he must rely ui>on his ability as a guesser; when he guesses right, the paiifnl may survive; when lie i gliesses wrong his mistake is hidden under six feet of merciful clay. He writes his prescription in u dead language' the better to hoodwink those who take his sugar pills and hydrant water and he serves best when he is too busy to answer a call. Uniting doctors has assumed the proportion of a national sport. Hut those who crack the wittiest Jokes at tho doctor's expense are lirst to call him when pains rack their bodies. Our disbelief seldom survives the first .cramp of an attacic or appendicitis or the first hot flush of fever. In the book of those who serve mankind. the doctor is the Ben Adhom whose name leuds all the rest. Among doctors arc devout men, and others who scarcely believe anything at all, but ajl follow the path blazed by the Great Physician. All sacrifice romfort and independence at the call of thoso who suffer. And Ihose who appear cynical and hard have but fashioned a crust to protect themselves from the burd'-n of their sympathies. When accident leaves a fellow-mortal twisted and broken, there is no effective sympathy one may offer except to say: Aj'Hold. hard, Old Man; Doc's corning." And when in the night watches a little child moans in pain, there is no other comfort to offer save this?that the doctor Is on his way.

General F'erein, In a book describing more than 200 battles in' France a;:d Il^lgium during the late war, concludes from data collected by him that 75,000 French soldiers were killed -by* their own artillery through defective liaison, says a Paris dispatch. The losses, he says,/were higher by 50 per cent, in thetfrench anny than fn the German -army. The losses of the French infantry, he finds, wore comparatively four times greater than the losses of the artillery. He fixes the French losses from the enemy's fire at 5,000,000 killed and wounded. General Percln was military governor of the fortress of Lille just after the outbreak of the war. He evacuated the fortress on orders rtreived from the government when the Germans approached, the frontier and was for a long time, supposed by the general public to have evacuated the place of his own volition. A lively controversy between his friends and adversaries has been going on ever since as to whether he was badly treated by the General Staff. He has | severely criticized the conduct of the war in the Held by. the French stuff. MANY HORSES AND MULES Still 17,003,000 of Them on Farms Despite Increase of Tractors.
