TO1 MAPS SECRET OF VICTORIES Extreme Care Used in Marking Down Every Point Showing Strategic Places Envolved in Campaign. BERLIN. Feb, 16.In modern warfare, and especially in the present world conflict, accurate maps are tbe greatest .auxiliary of the armies and they play a far more important part in the operations than the general public knows. Without them success is Impossible. These maps are worked out with tbe Infinite care of special departments of the General Staffs of tbe armies of the different countries. The first military topographical bureau was established by the General Staff of the Bavarian army nearly a century ago under the direction of General Von Naus, who also became famous as a mathmatician and daring mountain climber. Other countries, however, were slow to follow the example of Bavaria. In Prussia an exact topographical survey of the country was not undertaken by the General Staff until 1862. About the same time the leaders, of the AustroHungarian army became convinced that the maps then in existence were not sufficient fo war . ' The Austrian Topographical .Bureau was organized in 1863 under the direction of.Capt. Julius , von Payer, who '.later became fampus as an Artie explorer. France waited until longer and as a result, were badly handicapped in the war of 1870-71 by the lack of accurate maps. In this war it is' said the French officers were supplied with ' maps of Germany but not of France. . During the last forty years all the countries are using the same system in the production of tbe -General Staff Maps. .The method seems complicated, but is simple enough, First tbe country Is divided into triangles, the corners of which are , marked by

church: steeples, high poles, trees and other landmarks. Every one of these triangles then is surveyed aeperately and again divided up into smaller triangles. . The corners of these sub-divisions are marked by small square granite blocks which are sunk into the ground so that only their tops are visible. After the subdivisons have been laid out and marked the officers entrusted with the work draw large maps of every one of them. These maps show the minutest details of the landscape and are then joined together and, reproduced on a smaller scale by expert draughtsmen. ' In this manner an exact topographical picture of the large triangles, and finally of the whole country 13 obtained. The General Maps speak a language of their own. This language is very simple, but must of course, be understood. Every object in the territory covered by the maps is shown by certain signs. Pine woods are marked by little sharp cones, other woods and trees by groups of small circles and dots, elevations by curves which show the heights of the bills, roads by double and foot paths by single lines. There are certain signs for church steeples, mills, ponds and brooks, and isolated farm houses. Nothing is missing and a man looking at one of these maps and understanding it has the impression of flying over the teritory and looking down upon it from a height. -

Old Folks Need "Cascarets" For Liver,. Bowels Salts, Calomel Pills Act on Bowels Like Pepper Acts in Nostrils. Enjoy Life Don't Stay Bilious, Sick Headachy and Constipated. . Get a 10-cent box now. Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condition is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active as

youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles. So all old people need Cascarets. One might as veil refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this pentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is important at all ages, but never so much as at fifty. Age is not a time for harsa physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But a lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep. Adv.

WORKS AND SMOKES

PRIEST IN LONDON SAYS BRITISHERS WORSHIP CHAPLIN

LONDON, Feb. 16 "Charlie Chaplin is more to some people than Almighty God," said Father Watt, a priest, who is . recovering from wounds after

year spent on the battlefield, in' a sermon at Alton.

I "Although the best blood in the

world is being spilt at the front, a nation here has gotten itself into the clutching hand of the cinematograph shows," he added. "Many people seem to know more about Charlie Chaplin than God. Chaplin is silly, but the people who want to see him are sillier." Meanwhile attempts are made here to stir a patriotic agitation against American films for the alleged purpose of saving $10,000,000 paid yearly for films imported. The leading film trade, papers admit that if the government

prohibits American pictures the majority: of motion picture, theatres will be obliged to close. ARRANGE FOR CONCERT
