HAS WON RI.ACE OF HONOR
6atvati< n Army's Work for Fifty-Fcur
Years Recognized as Worthy of
the Highest Praise.
Exc? ;>t for the war the Salvation
Army would ha\e celebruted its fiftieth <
birthday four years ujjo. but there
rould hardly have been a better rexuiuder
of what the army had done
and me in a half century than the
recent award of the Victoria Cross to
iiin-c .->aivaiu>n .\rmy soutiers ior tueir
service in France. Fifty-four yours
ago tilings were very different: the
first appearances of the Salvationists
aroused opposition, rowdies tried to
break up the meetings, and on at least
one occasion members of the future
Hrmy were arrested In Knglund us
"disturbers of the peace." Originally
simply an attempt to make converts
by outdoor preaching, the movement
which William ?ooth started in July.
lSr>.*>, was put on a military busts and
hocame ttic Salvation Army in 1 sTS,
since which time it lias grown from
75 corps In Kngtand to at>otit O.lHH)
corps and outposts in more than 00
countries. The army was otlicially
recognized by King Kdward VII wlien
lie received the founder at Fuckingham
palace In It KM; a ditTerctit yet remarkable
"ottic.al recognition" occurred
quite recently when n tableau
honoring the Salvation Army was made
lite A.max of the current "Ziegfeld
Follies" on Broadway.
SUFFERED FOR OTHER'S SIN
Pathetic Story Told as an Example of
the Peril That Lies in
Inefficiency.
A It. Ilawiey. president of the Aero
club told In New York the other day
nn inefficiency story.
"Itew are tiie inefficient man." he
#m!d, "for If you have dealings with i
film It is you. not be, that will suffer

"A foreigner In outlandish curb
claiming to be nn Armenian came here
to soli.-it funds ln<t year for hi* rumpatriot-;
It happened that another
Armenian was arrested at the time,
and tin' first chap was asked to go to
court and act as his Interpreter.
"Well, he reluctantly consented to
act, though the truth was that he knew
no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he
stalked into the courtroom, listened In
grave silenee to the prisoner's pas- i
slnnafe protestntions of Innocence, and
then turned to the Judge and said with
n low how. *"
"'Your honor, my compatriot has
Confessed all. lie heirs you. however,
to he lenient for suffering Armenia's
finite.'
"The Judire thanked the interpreter
wari.il> for his serviecs, and then sen
ten.ed (he Innocent prisoner to tivo
years' hard labor."

SEE VALUE OF MOTORTRUCK
French Busineis Men Reanfce That
Their System of Freight Transportation
Is Obsolete.
That the war brought to France an
object lesson in the utility of the
motortruck as a means of freight
transportation appears in plans now
under way to develop a long haul
system. It Is hoped thereby to quicken
i??t- invi vfim-iii ui ^oous MUM lesson
tlu* impatience of various business
interests with the slowness of rsillway
and waterway trallie. The prnetleabllity
of the motortruek as a
freight carrier was it revelation to
Frenchmen of business who luitl dep<
niled in nornial tittles on what would
be held nn abnormally slow service.
Front Havre to Paris by boat means
often a Journey of at least three
months, ami at the quickest, which
requires special arrangement wltfi the
government, takes about four weeks.
Commenting on railroad transportation
between Paris ami tbe seaports,
n Paris business man U reported as
saying that front Havre one must expect
a delay of one or two months,
front Bordeaux a delay of two or
three months, ami that "when goods
foi Paris reach Marseilles they stay
there." The humorous exaggeration
illustrates the condition which Is
turning Frenchmen to the hopeful
project of long hauls by motortrucks,
:i solution which will probably develop
because the nation is already
provided with excellent roads.
REMINDED HER OF SALMON
American Traveler In Europe Confesses
She Would Have Welcomed
Dish Once Despised.
Klisnbetb Fraser, a traveler and
writer, was talking at a diplomatic reception
in Paris about her recent experiences
In Vienna.
"It Is ditlicult, said Miss Fraser. "to
satisfy one's hunger there, even at
hotels that cost ?1.1 a day.
"Fating my unappetizing dish of
hashed turnips, which frequently composed
the principal dish of the menu.
I thought regretfully of the salmon I
once disdained on a Canadian trip."
Miss I'raser laughed.
"I was traveling in the back country
of Canada, where salmon boiled,
broiled, In salad, creamed, as cutlets
?figured at every meal and became
very monotonous.
" 'Is there nothing else for breakfast?"
I asked the hotelkeeper one
morning as a whole tish and pot of
mustard was put before uie.
"'Nothing else?' the man exclaimed.
'Why, there's salmon enough there
foi s,x. ain't lIihic?'
"'Yes.' I admitted, 'but I do not
want salmon.'
" 'Well, then,' mv host replied curtly.
'lire Into the mustard.'"
Peanut Now Important Crop.
The peanut has accomplished wonders
for agricultural development, and
ha? Increased production by acres arid
doubled the value of land In many
sections. It similarly helped Alabama
through tbe crisis when the appearance
of the weevil played havoc In
the cotton fields of that stHte. It has
done well throughout the South, and
Virginia, which formerly stood first In
its production, has sunk to fifth place.
The peanut oil industry has added
to the value of tha crop and this year
the total harvest ami value were the
greatest ever recorded. In spite of a
reduction In acreage. The once de

Persian Derv.shea Demand Aim* ae
Right, and Simple Peeple Read
ily Give Up.
A feature of Persian life* which Illustrates
the almple ami superstitious
nature of the people of the tnldenst is
their tolerttnee of the dervishes. These
weird, gypsylike beggars infest the
cities and annoy the village folk in
passing from one place to another. i\ecording
to their vows of itinerancy.
These are not the whirling tlerv si os
of eirctjs fame. Whirling would lie too
energetic a form of worship for the
members of this most ancient I sure
class. Their greatest exertion consists
of walking slowly and Mowing a horn
to announce their presence.
Tin- dervish of Persia is known I?v
his hogging howl, conical cap. animal
skin cape am* cluh. The wcapui
which is usually a stick driven through
witli nails, is carried conspicuously.
It fact. It seems unpleasantly ready
for u>e when its owner calmly demand*
trilmt#?. It i8 true that there
is stiuill danger of Its use. even if
alms art- refused, l>ut a refusal however
polite ami npologetleal, is sure to
arouse the'wrath of the dervish. Ills
vocabulary may he unintelligible, hut
the meaning of his threats ami prophecies
is usually understood. Fellow
citizens of the dervish tribe prefer to
make a gift at any cost In order to
avoid having the wrath of heaven
called down upon them in the masterly
language of nn experienced heaven Invoker.
The dervish makes himself useful to
the community honored hy his presence
by telling fortunes and stories,
reciting prayers, selling charms and
even curing the sick by blowing his
sacred breath on them all In return
for which he turns over to his chief
after deducting a living wage.
Nine Monthi on Warahlp.
A naval man, home on leave, was discussing
Lord .lelllcoe's tribute to all
ranks who fought at Jutland, and he
revealed what seems to the l?wr deck
the highest form of heroism.
It whs not the fighting. not the anxious
watching day and night?that la
