sD i it '»’_ e=g 00l N gl R Rg e o e g FRANCIS JOSEPH VERY SPRY, Aged Emperor of Austria Equal to the Situation, Extreme Though It Must Be Admitted. ! Francis Molnar, war correspondent; in the Carpathians of § Est, gives an interview with an otllc'_'i of high rank, who had had an aud!e%e of Emperor Francis Joseph a few days previously in Vienna. The officer said: 3 “I gspent half an hour in the working room of his majesty; and found him to be much more lively and agille than' at any time during the last years when 1 saw him. During the audience the emperor walked up and down the room. He was always noted for his excellent memory, but what Isaw in regard to this now was really marvelous. His majesty knows the name of the commander of ‘éyel‘y regiment, and even now is well informed as to changes taking place in commanders of brigades and regiments. “He is informed every day as to the ‘work being done by all the war material factories. On the table in his study lies an immense map with small flags indicating the position of the fighting forces. “Cordial relations exist between his majesty and the heir apparent. The emperor speaks highly of the young king speaks very highly of the young heir and is extremely proud and fond of him. -3 “His medical advisers do rot willing1y consent to his drives out, though he asks them daily to allow him to visit the wounded soldiers in the hospitals. The few visits he has paid fo the hospitals have been small victories over the doctors.” LAND FIGHTING NOT CLEAN Sailorg Objected to Work They Did Not Enjoy-That_ Was a Necessary Part of Warfare Ashore. The American troops who occupied Vera Cruz last year were the second body of our soldiers to enter the city within a century. When it was besieged in the Mexican war, Capt. Robert E. Lee, afterward the commander in chief of the Confederate army, was ordered to throw up breastworks to defend a battery manned by the jackies of a man-of-war. Lee put the tars into the trenches; and soon had the dirt flying, but the sailors did not labor cheerfully. They resenfed having to shovel dirt, and their captain Temonstrated openly with Lee. “My men,” he said, “do not want mud banks to hide behind; just let them get out and at the enemy.” But Lee would not listen, and the tars sweated away at the shoveling. Presently the Mexicans opened fire at the very point thus protected, and the sailors were glad to seek the shelter of the despised dirt. The ship’s captain felt that he owed Lce an apology and made a handsome one. “Well, Captain Lee,” he stammered, “I reckon you were right. I .suppose the dirt did save some of my boys from being killed or wounded, but you know we sailors have no use for dirt banks on shipboard. All we want is a clear ~deck and an open sea. The fact is, captain, T don’t like this land fighting, anyway. It isn’t clean.”—Youth’s Companion. i : New Naval Auxiliary. The German soldier, we are informed, is strictly forbidden in these days of a diminishing food supply to make private levies upon poultry vards of conquered civil populations. Chicken and geese especially, for their eggs’ sake, must be respecied. Only one feathered creature, the carrier pigeon, is fair game. He is outside the law because he is under suspicion of being the enemy’s messenger. It was somewhere in northern France that an officer on his rounds came upon Private Beck, just relieved of sentry duty and in the act of plucking a stately goose. To a discreetly worded question as to the corpus delicti the soldier answered without the quiver of an eyelid: “Your pardon, lieutenant, that there's a carrier goose, sir.”

Tabloid Aeroplanes. The British reason, quite logically, that the smaller the aeroplane and the faster it can fly the less danger of its being hit by shots fired from earth. So the British airmen favor an unusually small machine, which they call the “tabloid. ” A very light frame is fitted with an 80-horsepower motor, which will drive the frail machine through the air at the rate of 100 miles an hour. The engine is covered with armor. The aviator seeking to drop a bomb on the enemy approaches his target at a height of 5,000 feet. When straight above it, he turns the nose of his machine straight down and ~drops at terrific speed. When within 500 feet of the target he drops his bombs as quickly as possible and then shoots skyward at a tremendous pace. —American Boy. : Division of Coal Consumption. Of the 510,000,000 tons of coal consumed in America in 1914, 158,000,000 ,tons were used to generate industrial power, 184,000,000 were consumed in our homes and offices for cooking and heating; 97,000,000 were burned in the boilers of locomotives and steamboats, while the remaining 91,000,000 tons ,were consumed in our coke and gas Pplants. : Old Tree Dead. ~ One of the oldest trees in America. at Ravenna Park, Seattle, Wash., is dead. It is a fir tree 180 feet tall with a diameter of 20 feet and a cir «cumference of 58 feet. It is supposed to be eighteen hundred or two thousand years old s “The Garden of Allah” a drama of man’s tensest struggle.
