FAITHFUL TO HIS TRUST! Native African Kept Eyee on Watch * for Hour, Leet It 8hould Qo "Jump, Jump." France has ninny black lighting men from Senegal In the field; nor are they the only troops recruited from savuge or setiilsuvage ro^as that are engaged In the great conflict A young British officer found himself one night, by a mischance to hU motorcycle, stranded by the wayside, and with only a little ; group of negro stragglers anywhere In sight. He was very tired, having had no sleep for many hours. One of the Africans talked the pidgin English ot a coast town, and this man informed him that some motorlorries would be coming along soon,* upon which It would be possible to get u lift. '8oon," In the mouth of un African, la an elastic term, hot Mi? thought he could afford to wait ua hour before setting forwurd on foot in geurch of some other means of transportation. Meanwhile, he wanted a imp?bunted it desperately?but he could not trust himself to wake at the end of an hour. The African could not tell time, but the captain determined to depend upon him, nevertheless. Showing him the dlul of his wrist watch, he explained that he wished to be wuked when the long hand reuchcd there und the short hnnd there. Then he luy down, with urtj extended, and the negro crouched beside him, with his eyes on the dial. Exactly at the right moment the sleeper wus culled; and us he opened his eyes they fell upon the African, In precisely the sumo position, .with something strained In his aspect that suggested Inquiries.

I Every few days one reads In the papers stories about a "match famine," , but the largest manufacturers assert that there is no need for alarm from that source. There Is, they say, a cer- ( tain shortage in "strlke-on-the-box" . matches, due to the fact that all for- I elgn matchmakers, especially the Swedes, nre having trouble In K??t11nsr materials, and are shipping here very 1 few matches of that sort, while the : Uhlted States government has virtually commandeered the output of that type of muteh made In America for use In the army and navy. But as for household matches thrtre are plenty of the well-known brands to he had, and no prospect of a shortage. A few of the small manufacturers occasionally have a period of shortage In certain materials, hut the big companies are turning out plenty. She Wat a Poor Picker.

His Democratic Ways, and Courage In the Face of Danger, Have Greatly Endeared Him to Both Soldiers and Citizens. The war has met some kings down from their thrones and held up others to the ecorn of the world. But It has also made Rome honored and beloved, not by their own people only but by millions of the citizens of other countries. King Albert of Belgium Is one; King Victor of Italy Ih another. Victor has not the Imposing presence and heroic bearing of Albert, but his soul has risen nobly to the occasion. The extreme democracy of Itnly, says itir. nernert Vlvinn In "Italy nt Wur," has always expressed Itself In the freest criticism of the monarchy. During the agitation of May. 1915, when many persona feared that Italy might shrink from- war, the name of King Victor Emmanuel III was frequently taken In vain. The press published Impudent caricatures and openly accused him of being swayed by Austrian sympathizers. Poor little mnn!

He buzzes about the battle front In | a little grny motor, without escorts, , and with no precautions for his safety. He sleeps little and cares not where; ' j he Is quite happy In an Alpine hut or ; on straw. His fare Is of the simplest? a little cold meat, bread, cheese and 1 j chocolate?and he Is always ready to ( share It with the nearest soldier. He : says "T?i" to everyone In a fatherly way, and welcomes familiarity from j the soldiers. They treat him as one of themselves, but none have ever taken advantage of his good nature. ' He laughed heiiHHy when an old soldier called out to 111 in; "Nay, majesty, what he doing here? This Is no place * for thee. Get thee gone at once!" . ITe Interests himself In all the men he meets.

The -j soldier still struggled with the officer's body, hut the lieutenant died I In his arms. Flinging himself on the corpse, the young fellow exclaimed ' with tears: "Even the king has gone away!" Then n hand touched his shoulder. | lie shook himself, rose and stood at attention. "My dear hoy," said the king, "the car has gone, hut the king Is still with you."

Calomel acts like dynumite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, heuduchy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson.'s Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. iV you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if umi fnlrp Dnftnnn'n T.ivpt* Tnnp vmi will wake up feeling great, full of j ambition and ready for work or play.

Japan having decided upon an increase In her navy thnt involves the expenditure of $150,000,000, spread aver six years, n general increase of taxation lias been proposed, and it will probably be carried out. The Income tux Is to be raised in a way to bring an nggregate addition of 20 per cent, the Increase being graduated so us to be only 10 per rent upon the smallest incomes and 50 per cent upon the largest. The minimum income tax will be $250. A war profits tax is to he iuitiated on both business profits and ou incomes, but no personal income of less than $1,500 n year will be taxed on account of its having risen during the war, and in this way the wages of working people and moderate sularies do not have to puy for the wuge increases of war time. Higher than $1,500, personal Incomes must pay 15 per cent of increase und companies that have increased profits must pay 20 per cent tax upon the increase. Pershing of French Descent. Some Interesting associations may easily lie woven Into a news Item telling about a celebration which recently wok piace at laictode, Mo. The town, one of the oldest In the old Southwest of the United States, was named ufter l'ierre Ligueste Laclnde, a native of Itlon, France, founder of St. Louis, Mo. Years ago a man named Pershing, u descendant of an emigrant who left Alsace when It was a French province, settled In Laclede. Ills son, the present Gen. Joseph Pershing, commander of the American expeditionary forces In France, was horn there. The celebration referred to was, of course, in honor of General Pershing, and it was one of the most enthusiastic ever held In what used to be an almost exclusively French section of the country.

TRIBUTE TO HERO F. H. Simonds Eulogizes Col. Raynal C. Boiling. 8?rvices of Aviation Expert, Before His Untimely Der.th, Were of ths Greatest Value to the Coun? try He Loved. . The men whom wo could least spare, and there are none we would willingly Rpare, nre the men who are giving their lives to stem the fury of the uvrmrni onslaught, writes F. II. Slmouds Id American Review of Re* views. It Is this thought which must he In the mirnl of all who knew Col. Raynal C. Rolling, dead to the enemy In the early days of the grent German offensive In March. Among all the Americans who felt and foresaw the coming of this war to our own country, none with clearer vision or more Instant response set himself to the task, alike of preparing himself and of striving to persuade his fellow-countrymen to prepare themselves. He chose for his work the aviation branch-and for the three years, while the war was still remote and meaningless to millions of people on this side of the Atlantic, he devoted his life to study and to practical training In flying. When at last the war came, no Amerlcnn of his age counted greater material success or was richer In the things men sacrifice for an Ideal, than Colonel Rolling. General solicitor for the United States Steel corporation, respected and honored in the legal profession for his attainments nnd his promise, recognized as the one whose Influence nnd power for usefulness In the future was to be great, happy In a home which gave him all that a man can hope to receive ?on this side of his life, Colonel Rolling laid aside all of these things to respond to the call of his country, not only willingly hut ready trained for practical service. For those who knew him nnd loved him the tragedy of his death, a death which all who knew his daring spirit, the unfailing response It made to every challenge of danger and difficulty foresaw, does not lie in the fact that he met the death heVoxpeeted and they expected for mm. Rather it Is found in the realization that a man who might have done so much more In aiding his country nnd his countrymen to prepare for the real struggle, whose services were so essential, whose loss was so irreparable on the practical side has been lost to us at this grave hour. ti HI * ... - diiiiiii^ ma not ?11?? before he had done much which will count In the future and will he a portion of the history of American organization for the conflict.

Millions of others, not so tit In one way or another for actual lighting, will he listed for other work directly connected with the carrying on of the war. In a few weeks the relative standing of the 13,(H)0,000 will have been determined. According to Provost Marshal (ienernl Crowder, the flrst to he selected for the cantonments and camps will be those between nineteen and twenty-one and between tlilrty-one and thirty-six. The matter of granting deferment to registrants because of the work In whlcti they nre engaged Is of utmost importance, and the aid of all employers In this lias been enlisted. The government Is especially desirous that no essential Industries shall be disturbed by the draft, hut enough men must he selected to maintain a steady How of registrants to the training amps. ? to As had been foreseen I.ere miri abroad, tho (ieriuaua have begun an Intensified U-boat campaign directed especially against the transports carrying American troops and supplies. Up to date this has resulted in the torpedoing of the Mount Vernon, formerly the Kronprlnzessln Cecelle, which was bringing home wounded and sick soldlers, and of the I'ersle, carrying 2,si to American troops to Europe. In the former case the casualties were con fined to inen In the engine rooms and the vessel put back to a French port under her own steam. All the men on the I'ersle were safely transferred to the convoying vessels, after which the steamship was beached on the English coast. The submarine which attacked It was destroyed by depth charges. In both Instances the utmost bravery and coolness t ere exhibited by the crews and the soldiers aboard. The British steamship Mlssannhte also was torpedoed while on her way to America for troops and supplies, tin waa the goal of a race between the British and the French, the former winning Vermand, Attllly and Vendellee and closing In on the important city from the northwest, while the French southwest of the objective crossed the Crozat canal and took u number of villages. A little farther south the French forces captured Travecy on tIk* Olse, Just north of Ln Fere, and from Its heights were aide to dominate the latter town, which was reported to have been burned by the Germans. This operation, together with the French udvunce eastward from t'ouey-leChateau, threatened to llauk on both aides the forest and massif of St. Gobaln, the chief defense of Laon. Withdrawal of the enemy frotu that forest, Vhlch Is full of guns In strong defensive positions, might thus be compelled without direct attack, which would be expensive and dlflb cult.
