I Pointed Query at Boches j When Fire Was' Most Terrific in Belleau Wood, . _____ It isn't nice to swear in type. Neith- j er is war nice. This is a war story, j It was told by Brigadier General Cat lin in his book, "With' the Help of ; God and a Few Marines." Belleau Wood is the setting. The General had given his troops the order to advance. His last words j were, as they started across the wheat i V fields under a withering fire, "Give 'em , ^ell, boys." 'Some one * has reported," the Gen- | eral continues, "that they advanced j on those woods crying, 'Remember i the Xiusitania.' If they did I failed to hear itT / * "Somehow that doesn't sound like the sort of things the Marines say under the conditions." V Then General Catlin tells what they j did say. When the lines were waver* ing under the terrific German fire, a sergeant cried out: "Come on you ?' , do you want to live forever?" Tell the marines that you are not .going to take your share of the coming Victory Liberty Loan.

I 11 Philadelphia, l'a.?Coroner Knight | I has been caHed upon to perforin a judgment similar to the one that made 1 Solomon famous In biblical history. .Six "widows" have put in claims for the body of Anthony Oster. thirty-four years old. who died in the West Philadelphia Homeopathic hospital on De- i cember 20, of injuries received while < fighting for one of them. Each of the "bereaved" emphatically ' states that Oster was married to her. 1 It is the herculean task of Knight to i decide whose claim is legitimate. 1 It is likely that the body wiJi be j given to Mrs. Anna Oster, who says that she was married to Oster 11 years ago and that they had two children. The woman with whom tlv* de- ; ceased was living at the time of Mis death is known as Mrs. Frances osier. | Two "widows" and four children in Lancaster. Pa., and two "widows" and four children in Reading also claim the body. 1 Osier was killed by Henry Eugene Loom is, a boarder, after Oster ac eased him of insulting the woman witn whom Oster lived. KILLING SONG PETS IN WEST _______ I Butcher Birds Are Carrying Off Canaries by the*Score in California. San Francisco.?Scores of canaries ! have been carried away from their : cages during the last week by butcher- * birds, who by the thousands have 3 taken up their winter abode here in ] the fastnesses of Sutro forest. The Dotcherbird is described ns a -1 first cousin to the hawk, is about one- c quarter the size and possesses a nreda* * tory bill. It is his habit to circle high j* in the sky until his sharp eyes catch 11 sight of a canary as it perches In a h cage hung on some veranda. Then, J * when It is satisfied that its move- J ments are not being watched, it swoops noiselessly down, thrusts its talons and hooked beak through the bars of the 1 cage, pulls the luckless bird from its 1 domicile and flies swiftly away with its prey. Sometimes the butcherbirds < seem to be satisfied with the mere killing of the songbirds. ' I f AH U3.CU UII We have some in iikpH cars.

A. .lourdan, who is accused of shipping Bibles to dead poisons 0. O. D. and then waiting for the casli to roll in from relatives. .Tourdan is alleged to have obtained the names of dead persons in the Northwest from obituary notices in the newspapers. As soon as the names I ...wi were obtained Bibles ! were shipped with a hill for $ij each, j In almost every case the Rihles would j arrive on the day of the funeral and J the relatives would immediately s?>nd ! the Jm. The Bibles are said to be i worth about 75 cents. To add dignity ! i to the scheme the name of "Rev. lr:> I Worth," a mythical person, is alleged I to have been used. | Comeau says he discovered the j scheme when he received a Bible And j hill for $.*> when his daughter died re- j cently.
