Star Correspondents Chafe

Man Is "At Home" in

By WILLIAM O. SHEPHERD
LONDON. Oct. 12.
"Floury Laure Is nt lha front,
And. I must get there, too.
Why ds you let him go to war
An'd keep u back wlUi you?"
Fleury Laure la at the front!
Why can't I so there, too?
It Isn't a song; It Isn't even a poem.
It's a chant of woe that was Intoned
by the war correspondents during certain
days of the present war. Monocled Eng
lish journalists, who hadn't worn ordi
nary street clothes for weeks, drawled
It In the War Office In London to walrus
Mustached officers.
Whiskered French war writers who had
thrown away nil their everyday fllothos
except their flowing bow ties gesticu
lated It to wax-ended mustached officers
and the war correspondents, who have
their own ways of dressing for warfare
went to the high school building whero
the Belgian Government now lives and
said It In Flemish to the Belgian war
lords.
In Fctrograd, too, the war lords heard
the plaint In Russian, from bearded war
reporters.
Perhaps even German journalists
chanted It. American war correspond
ents yejlod It In every capital.
Nobody had heard of Fleury Lauro be
fore. One day, in a London newspaper,
there appeared on article by him on the
fall of Charleroi. It was a splendid
first-hand story of tho battle and the
entry of the Germans. The next day
another first-hand story by Lauro ap
peared, from another town which the
Germans had seized.
The war correspondents of Europo
grew worried. A mysterious man, of
whom they had never before heard,
named Laure, was at the front. Whether
he was at the German or the French
front they couldn't tell. The third day's
story from another town of another bat
tle started the war correspondents'
lament In every capital In Europe.
Who is this Fleury Laure? How did
he get to the front? These were tho
questions asked by ovcry worried editor
In every newspaper office in Christendom.
"We must get that fellow away from
the front," said tho War Offices. If they
had only known It, Fleury Laure was
trying to save them the trouble.
And now at last tho truth about Fleury
Lauro Is out. I write It to praise his
CHILDREN'S CORNER

BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
ONCE upon a time the moon fairies
decided to have a silver wedding
all by themselves.
They weren't quite sure what a
silver wedding was, but they had
heard about one and they thought it
sounded very nice. Maybe they had
been snooping around the society
column or maybe they had heard
somebody talking about one, or may
be they just made the idea up out of
their heads folks do sometimes, you
know.
Anyway they decided to have a sil
ver wedding and the queen of the
iairies called a meeting to decide how
to do it.
(Sometimes when the moon is full,
look right on the old nian-in-the-tnoon's
left cheek see the bright,
shiny spot there? That's the very
Place where the moon faiiies hold
their meetings.)
Fairy friends," she said when they
all assembled, "we want to have a sil
ver wedding and we don't known how
to begin."
. "Poof, that's easy," said a little fairy
i the corner, "just get pieces of silver
nd hang them all over the moon
aP.d then have a regular party, that's
"But where can we get the silver?"
asked one fairy.
, An,d wn't it make the moon too
heavy?" asked another. "Maybe that
would make the moon fall out of the
.t?llJver is s heavy"
Oh. dear," they all exclaimed "We
dont want to make the moon tumble
Pown, let's think of some other way I"
Juek, his pluck and presence of mind.
He, had ben the local correspondent of
n London newspaper In his homo town of
Chnrlerol.
Tho War Offices of Europe were keep
ing all the big war correspondents of
the world away from tho firing line, but
they couldn't keep the firing line away
from this local correspondent.
As soon as Laure saw what was hap
pening to him In the way of a gift from
fate ho took full advantage of the op
portunity, Ho loft Charleroi at one side
of the town while the Germans were
coming In nt tho other.
At tho next town ho sent his story to
London and waited for tho Germans
again. They came, too.
Day after day, being only two Jumps
nhnad of the Germans, ns you might
any, he got stories of the German ad
vance through Belgium which tho news
papers of tho world were huncrv far.
And so the front, which came to Fleury
Laure, Instead of his going to It, chased
him clear down Into Franco and, at last,
squeezed him Into Paris, where tho great
big, world-famous war correspondents
could get n look at him, slap him on the
back and say, "Welcome, son, to our
noblo midst."
Ahd now' he belongs.
GOVERNMENT ASKS $250,000
Suit Against Delaware and Chesa
peake Canal Company Begun.
WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 12.-In tho
Federal Court today the case of tho
Government against the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal Company began and may
have a considerable result on tho pro
posed purchase of the ca'nal, although It
was brought before tho purchase was

w'hlch amounts In all to more than $250,000.
Chapman W Jlaupln, United States at
torney, assisting District Attorney John
P. Xlelds, declared In his opening to tho
Jury that the Canal Company had not
only defaulted, but the president and
treasurer of the company, with a double
stroke of the pen, had forged to docu

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12.-Tho House

35 feet
Tho committee amended the resolution
to provide that New York city shall pay

CAPTAIN DANIEL D. BACON
WILMINGTON, Del.. Oct. 12.-Captlaln
Daniel D. Bacon, one of the veteran rivpr
men on the Delaware, died today. Ho
was 64 years old He had been In tho
employ of the Wilson Line for a number
of years. Before that ho had commanded
the Thomas Clyde, Major Reynold and
other river craft.
Wide Awake
The evening is so hot ,
That in my little bed
The pillow hasn't one cool spo
Where I can lay my head.
It's very nice of mother dear
To blow me tvilh her fan.
And tell me all I want to hear
About the good Sand-man.
And yet, though every story brings
The children home to sleep.
And lullaby my mother sings,
Still jvide atal(e fcep.
Malcolm Sanders Johnston
So they sat very still and thought
and thought, and the stars kept very
still, so the fairies could think.
"Oh, I know," said a little fairy way
over in the other corner, "let's weave
many, many fine nets like cobwebs
and spread them all over the surface
of the moon. Then, when all is ready,
maybe the queen can change the cob
webs to silver."
"To be sure I can," exclaimed the
queen, "If you will get the nets all
made and spread out over the moon
I'll magic them into silver for the
party, and that won't be as heavy as
silver pieces," she added.
Immediately every fairy set to work,
making nets and spreading them out,
till the old man-m-the-moon could
hardly wiggle his nose or wink his
other best eye he was so covered up!
When every bit of the moon was
covered up the fairies called their
queen to come and see their work
"Those are beautiful nets," she ex
claimed, "and I'm glad to change them
to silver."
So just as the pink in the sunset
sky faded to twilight gray, the fairy
queen waved her wand; instantly the
moon shone with a silver radiance and
the fairies went on with their party.
And the poor stupid people on earth
looked up and said: "My, how bright
the moon shines tonight!"
They never even guessed about the
silver wedding!
Tomorrow Jitnmla South-treeza Saves
the children.

Armies Do Not Use Shells
of Same Size and Guns
May Be Rendered Useless
Before Retreat.
LONDON, Oct 12.
Up to date the allied armies In France
and Belgium have captured about 200
pieces of field artljlery nnd soveral heavy
siege guns from the Germans. The ques
tion arises, what will they do with them
and with the captured?
"At first sight," n war expert said, "one
would think that the captured guns would
bo Immediately turned upon the enemy
from whom they were taken, but In
actual practice this can seldom be done.
To begin with, they are generally thrown
out of gear before being abandoned.
This Is" a simple matter, the modern
equivalent of 'spiking the guns' can be
done In a moment. All that Is necessary
is to damage tho breach block so that It
will not close from the gun.
"Or, again, seeing that the correct rang
ing of a gun Is dependent upon Its sight
setting, simply to break the eight would
bo BUfflcIent to render tho gun useless.
One may be sure that In virtually every
caso of capture from tho Germans, one
or the other of these things has been
done.
Apart from this is the question of lnter
changeablllty of ammunition. Thero Is
generally a difference of a few milli
metres In tho calibre of French, English
and German guns, and this of Itself
would render guns taken by one army
from tho other of no uso to the victors.
"It may bo taken as certain that unless
a gun Is captured intact with a eupply of
Its own ammunition It would bo of Httlo
use to Its captors. The main advantage,
thorefore. In capturing guns from the Ger
mans Is to deprivo them of their uso and
reduce their fighting power.
"Another viewpoint Is the sentimental
one. Loss of guns Is always of bad
moral effect, like losing colors. If guns
arc not retaken they ore uteful for cast
ing medals for distribution to tho troops
after war Is over. Tho Kaiser already
has distributed 3S.00O Iron Crosses among
his soldiers, which would require more
guns than the Germans have taken from
the allies."

Game of "Corresponding"
Not So Picturesque as in
the Olden Days "Seeing
War" With a Chaperon.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
PARIS, Sept 30 (by mall).
Burglars In a miser's money box are
welcome parties compared to corre
spondents on the firing line. War "corre
sponding" has come to be a prison offense
In France. General Joffro simply won't
have It.
"I have Just pasced two days under
guard at the front, one day under guard
In Paris part of the time In the famous
military prison of tho Chcrche-Mldl and
eight days of parole, all because General
Joffre refuses to have correspondents giv
ing his war operations the once over at
close range.
And I was not the only member of this
1.
ecelng tho war' party. There wero seven
of Us In all four of us Americans, In
cluding Richard Harding Davis, 'an old
offender' in the war corresponding game."
Having previously been "pinched" by
almost every other prmy In Europe, Davis
remarked dolefully after tho French
nabbd him:
"Bv ctavy! This war Is my Waterloo;
I'm going home'."
I understand he 'is leaving today, his
eight-day parolo being up, his "time"
served and fines paid.
Thoro were three of us and a chauf
four In or own party. We had by rare
good luck witnessed an action around the
French left wing and were bound toward
tho centre at Rhelms when It happened.
It was a merry captain who arrested us.
"Hey," he called out gaily, "where ore
you folks going?"
"To Rholms." wo chorused. "How far
Is it?" '
'Let's go ask the general," ho said, and
laughed like a sphinx, mysterious like,
but with a Joke in tho chortle.
Slowly we realized what tho Joke was.
It wus on us. The general said Rheims
was sevon miles uway and quite too far
to walk.
"Oh, we have a car," we chirped un
comprehending the general's grim humor.
"Oh, I've requisitioned that," he said.
"Captain, will ou escort the gentlemen
out."
Tho captain would and did escort us
out. Alio In. Imagine a country village
where there isn't even a railway depot,
whore a postofllce, Government tabac,
three farmhouses and several cow lots
are bunched together and you will have
the scene of our arrest. Imagine again
a stone farmhouse built In U formation,
with a stone fence across the top of the
U and the ground plan of our prison
will be clear. If you add to the centre of
the cow lot a tableland of hay and other
stable rakings, the whole thing wet and
very smelly under the cold drizzle, the
picture will be fairly complete.
Through a gate In the stone wall we
were conducted by our smiling captain.
On the right was a door leading Into
tho sentinel's quarters, the rooms of the
farmhouse. At the back, across the
fertilizer plateau, wero two more doors
through one of which I spied two of the
biggest cows I ever saw, one lying down
chewing her cud and the other standing
in that bent-doublo position assumed by
kine when making their toilet. She
ceased licking her flank to eye ub "new
comers. The second door was open and
was labeled In chalk:
"Prison."
We wore ushered into this. The room
was Identical with the cows' bedchamber.
German prisoners, French deserters,
spies, suspects and pillagers stood or lay
about on the hay which covered tho
floor.
We were put on parole not to try to
get away. They took our word for It
that wo would not run, but to make sure
they kept a sentry at the gate with in
structions to shoot if we showed any in
clination to get absent-minaed. They
were very, very nice about It, Insisting
all the time that we were positively not
considered prisoners as prisoners were
entitled to soldiers' rations and we wero
not.
A kick about quarters among the pris
onerssince, we were not prisoners and
would be shot only If we ran got for us
an empty hayloft and the proper use of
money got us hay to sleep on.
The snoring was fine.
On the morning of the second day we
were given our car back and taken to
Paris, an armed gendarme along with us.
Arriving late in the evening, we had din
ner In the corridor of the Cherche-Mldl
military prison. Almost we had the ex
perience of sleeping there, where Captain
Alfred Dreyfus was shut up, but mys
terious forces suddenly shifted us, be
tween midnight and la m , to the In
valldes where, in the shadow of Napoleon's
tomb, we slept In officers' beds. Then
we were let go.
Yes, the war correspondents' game Is
gone that Is, the game as It used to be.
No more will the correspondent tell gen
erals how to fight their battles, and also,
perhaps, no more will the generals have
fine battle cries put into their mouths and
become famous for having uttered them.
The prison doors yawn for war writers
and the "lid Is on "
