Colonel's Orderly Has an Altogether Unflattering Opinion of French intelligence. j lied, the colonel's orderly, stood In j the doorway picking his teeth.

The sandbag if nf the most useful pieces of mill- .j equipment found r anywhere and the soldier puts it to manifold uses. Their official use, of j course, is to be filled with sand or clay j and built into ramparts, barricades and trenches. Their unofficial uses are j legion. | a The infantryman always uses a sand- ! bag for carrying and storing his ra- i r tions, for patching and re-enforcing; ? his clothing, for lining and curtaining e his dugout, for muffling mallets and n stakes when putting up wire in No j Man's Land. They make excellent gai- j c ters, being tied on over the puttees as ! ^ a further protection against mud and i clamp. They make cozy mufflers in j 1 bad weather. They are used to cover I shrapnel helmets to prevent reflection, I j anH thf?v frpnnentlv in demand for r v"v^ ^ - / rifie covers. \ Many soldiers always pull two. sand-, ^ bags over their feet and legs when go- . ing^o bed in billets;, in other words, i-1' the sandbag is Tommy's pajamas. The | ,s warmth and comfort of a burlap sand- t bag -when pulled over chilled feet is , V. astonishing. j j The postman's mailbag at the front ' ^ is nothing more than an empty sand- ^ bag, and the water carriers also use t two sandbags, slung back and front over the shoulder, each containing a d petrol tin full of water. | c "1 t- - ~ 1 ^ X **Tne war will ne over, a. suiui^r i t wit once said, "when all of Belgium s and France has been put into sandbags." ! Birds Finally Agreed. A family of rcbins and a family of ; bluebirds are occupying the same j house, something quite unusual in ! bird lore, E. M. Cashman, caretaker ! of the Altocna (Pa.) reservoir, has re- j ported. Mr. Cashman has erected a num- ! ber of bird boxes en the watershed and he watches over his charges lovingly. , Wlien Papa and Mamma Bluebird j came north this spring they were hor- ! rified to find their usual cozy birdbox ! was occupied. That is, a pair of rob-; ins, arriving a week earlier, had start- j ed to build a nest on the tiny porch I of the house. A wordy battle started, ! which lasted for several days. The j ( bluebirds wanted the robins to move. '< i The robins maintained their posi- j tion. And then,-quite suddenly, hos-! tilities ceased. Investigating, Mr. Cash- j-3 man found the bluebirds were build-1 * ! ing a nest inside the box, while the < robins made themselves comfortable 5 on the porch. Then both mothers sat ] on a nest of eggs. j Upbuilds Chinese Army. ! | Ken Wang, twelith graduate in the i 1919 class at West Point academy, a j, year ahead of time, announced that he j j will return to China to take part in the ( upbuilding of its new army. : Ken Wang was selected to come to : ] America to be educated in the best military academy in the world expressly for the part he is to play in j I bringing military coherence into Chi- j 1 nese army affairs. j ( ; , j 1 Discouraged.
