Austrlaus for you." As her eyes fell
upon the picture she screamed and
nearly collapsed. Then sho pointed to
a picture of some soldiers and ex
claimed: "That's him! That's Joseph,
my husband!"
Her Journey to this country from her

BETRAYED BY RAT
Pretty Girl Court Martlaled For
Seeking Fiance.
GOT INTO TRENCH ALL RIGHT.
Dobbed Her Hair and DisouUsd Hr

Across Hr Feet 8h Vm Talk
ing to SarflBint Sho 8oxmed Aloud
In Fominlno Volee.
Parii, If n girl bob her hair and
dlBgUtac her voice and dons a pollu's
uniform she may succeed In getting
Into the trenches undetected, but
If a rat scampers across her feet
when she Is talking to a sergeant she
Just can't help screaming right out
loud and In a very feminine voice.
At least that's what Ccclle Bourdler
says. Ccclle Is a slender, Dresden
china like lass of twenty-three, and
her fiance Is In tho trenches some
where. CecIIc doesn't know Just
where, and she has been court mar
tlaled for her last attempt to find him.
Sho says she won't tell whether she'll
try it again, but she admits she is do
lug her level best to find out just
where that regiment Is now.
Ccclle got to Amiens on a plea of
visiting a mythical aunt and took with
her a uniform belonging to a, member
ot her family. She cut it down to fit
her own slim form and hid her crop
ped braids beneath a rtcel helmet
Then she bid away In n motor truck,
having smiled at the driver and made
hlin her accomplice.
Five miles from the firing line she
quit the truck and stumbled through
the dark on foot. Finally she found
herself ln n communication trench
leading to tho front line works. She
met a sergeant and told him she was
on leave and bunting for her brother
The regiment bad been moved.
"Then," she said, "he asked me a
lot of questions, which I mnnaged to
answer without giving myself away,
but suddenly a big rat ran across my
feet, and I couldn't help but scream
And of course nfter that It was all off.
"First they took me for a spy. But
the general was very kind and sympa
thised with me He raid for the sake
of principle he ' would bare to court
martial me. They pave mo eight days"
I imprisonment, but you can guess
whether I served my full term."
TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS.
Eleven Hunired a Day Now In New
York Stato Outside of City.
Syracuse. With the permaueut es- '
tabllnhment of the New York Indus- '
trial safety congress, which concluded
Its first meeting here -nd Is to have an
annual convention hereafter, it is IioikmI
by exerts in safety appliances nud in
the education of workers to care for
themselves that there will be a great '
reduction in the number of Industrial i
accidents In this state.
It was brought out that, exclusive of
New York city, there are 1,100 acci
dents a day throughout the state, or '
approximately one every thirty seconds j
of a ten hour wage day.
The safety congress, which was pre
sided over by James M. Lynch, state in
dustrial commissioner, was attended by
300 men nm! women representing the
largest manufacturing coriwrations in
the state, from directors to 8hon fore
men. Trade unions and civic organi
sations also were represented.
GAME PRESERVES ABOLISHED.
Britain Removes Cause of Bitter Social
Hatreds.
London. Captain Bathurst, secreta
ry of the board of agriculture, In an
nounciug in the commons that the gov
ernment was about to eud tho preser
vation of game really gave another In
stance of the way the war Is healing
tho social dissensions of Great Britain.
During Lloyd George's land cam
paign ln 1000 unexampled bitterness
was displayed because tho country
dweller frequently was unable to ob
tain tho tiniest patch of laud to culti
vate, while hundreds of thousauds of
acres wcro devoted solely to game pre
serves. If the order remains In force after
the war the wholo character of agri
cultural England will bo changed.
COMMUNITY RABBIT DOG.
Daisy So Expert All Dobba Ferry May
Employ Her Talent.
Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. Until recently
Police Chief Patrick Costcllo was the
owner of Daisy, n rabbit dog famed In
five counties. Chief Tom Lee of the
flro department, Kenneth Toomey, A.
Knlppenberg, Morris Losce and scores
of other mighty hunters used to bor
row Daisy from tho chief.
So habitual did this borrowing be
come as Daisy's renown spread that
Chief Costcllo announced that Daisy
was the commuulty rabbit dog, and
nny resident in good standing could
ueo her for a day's rabbit hunting If
ho would supply a day's rations and n
ulght's lodging. He doesn't expect to
seo Daisy again until tho rabbit sea
son closes.

SLANQ IS NECESSARY,
SAY CHICAGO'S CO-EDS.
Th.ll Sling It For All Thty'ra Wortfv
but Only Highbrow VarUty,
Chlengo.-Blang, If It Is of tho btgh
brow variety, will still be in vogue
among the co-eds at Northwestern unL
versify and the University of Chicago.
And this despite tho announcement
that tho women of Vassar havo put
the "kibosh" on It in nil its variations.
Eastern girls nro putting on airs, My
the Chicago co-eds, v ho declare tbey
Intend to sling slang for all they ara
worth, but only, of coarse, the refined
and cultured kind.
"Highbrow slang Is not like the low,
vulgar kind," declared Miss Norma Cul
len at Northwestern university. "lt'
Just expressive, and, well It Just makes
one iterfectly first. Yes. 'perfectly first'
is cultured . slang, and It's a ripping
phrase."
"We've got to use slang, pleaded
M1J3 Mabel McConnell, also ot tho
Northwestern. "If we didn't we would
not be able to understand the men."
Almost the samo arguments were of
fered by tho girls at tho University of
Chicago, where "shoot," meaning "be
gin speaking." "hit the tub" and "!eat
it" are not only permissible, but nec
essary expressions.
"But vulgar, slang won't bo tolerat
ed," said Miss Helen Lindsay of Green
wood hall. "When 1 bear girls using
It I always batvl them out."
NEW TYPE OF MINE
TO PROTECT COASTS
Artillery Perfects an Improved
Device Which Rises and
' Falls With the Tide.
New York. A new typo of subma
rine mine which has recently been per
fected by the coast artillery branch of
the United States army and which will
be Issued to forts guarding American
harbors as soon as possible was de
scribed by officers who have been fol
lowing tests of the mine. All are en
thusiastic over the possibilities which
the new weapon affords of simplifying
and making more effective the nation's
coast defenses.
While the mechanism of the mine Is
a secret, it Is known that Its effective
ness lies in the fact that t!:' depth o
the tide nud the strength of the cur
rent In a harbor may be entirely dis
regarded when the mine Is planted.
An automatic device Inside the mine
Itself can' be set for any desired sub
mergence, which will keep the mlno at
that place usually eight feet below the
surface) no matter how the tide may
rise and fnll and In spite of any drag:
by tho current
This type of mine can be planted la
a harbor and then left alone on the
bottom, controlled by the operator at
the mine field switchboard in the fort.
To this switchboard every Individual
mine In the field' is connected by n ca
ble. From his post the operator can
send the mine on a moment's notice to
Its war position just below the sur
face. He can tell how far up It has
gone by a small signal device In tho
casemate, a goug, which sounds a
rliiiiiug note for every foot upward
the hidden destroyer travels.
