The chief requirement for membership is the status of grand motherhood. Justice of the Peace George B. Tfeifer of Alton. Mo., celebrated his fiftieth birthday recently by reducing the price for marriage ceremonies from $2 to $1. and by offering to give every bridegroom a cigar. In the midst of burned and shattered houses, bullet riddled trees, shell torn fences and uprooted earth in the vil lage of Melle was found a very ordi nary cabbage patch protected by signs rending "Verboten."

The number of subjects and citizens of belligerent nations who have reach ed New York on "missions" from their respective governments has become uch as to attract attention from those who have to do with hotels. They In clude persons of title and without and persons who are believed to be using names which they have not been ac customed to use at home. "These men should not necessarily be blamed," said a foreigner to a New York Times reporter. "Take my case. I am not a coward, and yet I am so well satisfied with living In the United States and I have been uble to do so well for my family that 1 have re fused to go back. I do not see why 1 should return. Terhaps some may ac . cuse me of lack of patriotism, but then 1 put my family above every thing, and I have lived lu the United States a long time. "inese recent toreign visitors are mostly members of Influential fami lies. Perhaps they have relatives in a war office or some other department of the government In the army they have never arisen to commanding po sitions. If they are called to the col ors they must serve In the ranks, and there la no chance for honor or dis tinction. Perhaps if they bad commis sions they would prefer to stop at home and fight for their country. How ever, they have not So the Influential relative Intercedes. A 'commission' Is created. It Is announced that the war office is sending So-and-so and So-and-so to America to make inquiries about certain kinds of supplies. When the war Is concluded they will turn up at borne, and their acquaintances, know ing they have been on a government mission, will not ask too many ques tions. They will have served their country without going to war." CONSCIENCE ACCUSES HER. At Result Woman Deeds to Govern ment Farm Obtained by Fraud. For the first time In history a farm has been deeded back to the govern ment after It became known the land had been Improperly filed on. As a result the funds In the United States treasury have been Increased $0,000, for Mrs. Mary Mitchell, a Ne braska woman, turned over property valued at that amount Mrs. Mitchell got from the govern ment 1G0 acres of good Nebraska farm land by a method which has since been found Irregular. Her conscience both ered her and finally she wrote a letter denouncing herself. The letter came to the office of M. D. McEnlry, chief of the field division of the general land office. She frankly said she had proved up on 100 acres of lnnd a year ago. She confessed she had made state ments not justified as to subjects nec essary to make final proof on the claim, but now that the land Is deeded to the federal government she says she has peace of mind. Perhaps the chief requisite in the movement is a "safety first" con science. People who believe everything they bear might be lucky If they were a little deaf. Neither suffragist nor anti-suffragist adopts the shrinking, thornless violet as an emblem. A man may be as old as he feels, but a woman Is generally older than she thinks she looks.

BATTLEFIELD NO PLACE FOR RELIGIOUS SCOFFERS Real Man Under Fire Practices the Self Sacrifice of the Goapel. One of the British officers now In the fighting has some pertinent things to say about the religion of the soldier under fire. He states that Marshal Oyama was once asked what were tho dominant factors which led to Japan's success in hc great war. "Itellgion and discipline," he answer ed without hesitation. "The former teaches you how to face death, the lat ter how to fight I would rather com mand 1,000 men Inspired by religion than 10,000 scoffers." He goes on to say that In a fight you want men who will give their lives cheerfully when the call comes for des perate work. No one ever heard of a man giving his life for the cause of arithmetic, agnosticism or atheism; be will flght for religion and for what it teaches. "I am not arguing as to whether Christianity, Shlntolsm, Islamlsm or Buddhism be the source of Inspiration, for they are nil good," he claims; "each has the foundation stones of God prayer, immortality, worship a splen did outfit A nation with these will go far In peace and will not readily turn tail In the day of battle. In the moment of battle men ore not cheap; fhey are often godlike. Looking death calmly between the eyes they move forward, the Incarnations of relentless fate. "The earth shakes; shells explode; green and brown fumes poison tho air; men begin to fall; the faces of men grow sterner they might be chiselled out of steel. "There is only one thing which sof tens those truly brazen countenances the plaintive chant of battle, the moan me nuuimou. ruis is die minor music which keeps men human, the only safeguard ngalnst a heart of stone. The theme of that solemn chant Is God. The battlefield Is the mint wherein Is being coined supreme hero-Isms." ROCKEFELLER FOOLS TRANCE Concludes Bargain After Man Has Sevon Year Nap. John 1).
