The poorest of oak, for example, makes better furniture than the best of ash. But the best of oak makes a poorer axe handle than the poorest hickory. * We have lumber that is excellent for indoor use, but it would be very fool ish to use it where ex posed to the weather. Consult us before you place your order. Our knowledge of the proper uses of lumber will enable you to make * a better selection. United Ice & Coal Co. Forster & Cowdcn Sts.

JOHNSON, LAWYER, DIES [Continued From First Page] ! Trust case, the United States Steel . ("orporation suit, now pending, and in i all the anthracite coal trust cases that have been instituted in the last ten years. He was probably the busiest lawyer in Pennsylvania and one of | the most reticent when it came to his I personal affairs. Offered Cabinet Places Mr. Johnson refused positions In presidential cabinets and twice de j alined offers of appointment to the Supreme bench. In his long career he accepted but one prblic office and that was an appointment as a Fair mount Park commissioner, a purely honorary local position. John G. Johnson was born In Phila delphia in humble circumstances, his father having been a blacksmith. Left fatherless in boyhood, he was graduated from the Philadelphia high school and succeeded In being admitted to the bar in 1863 without going to law school. Xote Art Collectors Hardly second to his legal prestige 1 was Mr. Johnson's standing as an art connoisseur. In the acquisition of noted pictures he gradually obtained a large and highly valuable collec tion. 1 ther collectors eagerly sought his aid In adding gems to their private galleries. The fine collection of the late Peter A. B. Widener owed much of its prestige and value to the fact that it was chosen under Mr. John- I son's assistance and advice. Mr. Johnson leaves no direct heirs, lie married late in life. It is said that Mr. Johnson never ; sat for a portrait, the only likeness I of him in circulation being a copy of ; a drawing made by a newspaper ar i tist some years ago. Kaiser Conspired Against United States in 1898 By Associated Press Washington. April 14. lnteresting liplomatic information not heretofore made public was disclosed in Entente ; r ircles yesterday concerning tho friendship which Arthur J. Balfour, he British Foreign Secretary and 'tead of the Bri'ish Commission bears to the United States. At the outbreak of the Spanish Am erican war in 1898 the German Em j peror sought to form a coalition of European Governments to exert pres sure on Spain's behalf against the I'nited S'ates. Mr. Balfour, then in the British Foreign Office, opposed the idea so vigorously that It died prema 'tirely and the Kaiser's scheme came to naught. This fact is a matter of record In 'he British Foreign < >ffice. according to Entente diplomats. Inquiry in Brit ish Embassy circles confirmed this in every detail.

It Is totally unliku the de pilatory. electrical and other meth ods heretofore employed for the re moval of hairy growths.

It Is an In stantaneous method, and so thorough that the skin is left perfectly smooth snd hairless, bearing not the least > evidence of its former disfigurement. NATIVE OF PENNA. DIES IN TRENCHES [Continued From First Pa arc] of # the world are losing through this dreadful war." Dr. Gregory was 70 years old but en tered the war when it started as an ordinary soldier. He liad gained the rank of lieutenant when he was killed. lVnnny lvauia lloy He was a Pennsylvania boy who ] went to Germany as Dr. Schaeffer did. to complete his education. They were 1 fellow students at the University of i Deipsic where Dr. Gregory tilled the > chair of professor of theology. They I parted at Deipsic in 1875, Dr. Schaeffer 1 to return to Pennsylvania to become. | as he says, a "schoolteacher." Gregory 1 to till the highest chair in the univer sity. Upon the death of the world-famous 1 Dr. Fischendorf, who discovered and I translated a part of the manuscript! bearing rm the New Testament, Dr. Gregory was elected to till his place. , Dr. Schaeffer walked in the funeral ! procession of Fischendorf, and said this i morning that he had seen a cushion! carried behind the casket bearing gold- j en decorations from crowned heads. That Dr. Gregory should be selected | to fill the position vacated by Dr. . Fischendorf shows, according to Dr. Schaeffer. where he stood in the intel- | lectual world. Wrote Own <-l)atli Xotlee Professor Gregory wrote his own ! death notice as it appeared in German newspapers as long ago as August 27, 1914. his relatives only adding the date of his death. The notice reads: "Casper Hene Gregory, professor, I.eipsic University, fell in battle for tlie German cause April 9, 1917. His fam ily must not wear mourning nor la men* his loss but should be happy he is resting in God. Visits of condolence J ought to be omitted. He extends hearty : farewell and hopeful atifwiedersehn to] all his friends and acquaintances." Doctor Gregory was educated in the ological seminaries at Philadelphia and Princeton. He undertook many voyages to explore Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, and for other scien tific purposes. The results were seen in books written in German. English and French, and which, in scientific cir cles were considered of great merit. Since IS9I Gregory was the regular professor of theology at Leipsig, but he often visited the United States, lectur ing at the famous universities and sem inaries. His last grand lecturing tour through Canada and the greater part of the United States, took place in 1911- 1912. He was a member of many scien tific societies, and in Germany played a political part of some importance In the so-called national social move ment. When the war broke out, Professor Gregory, despite his age, immediately insisted on joining the army iis a com mon soldier and was never known to skirk duty either in drum fire or drudg ery behind the lines. When on Novem ber 6 of last year he celebrated his seventieth birthday anniversary at the front he was made a sergeant-major. When death overtook him on the field of honor he had reached the rank of lieutenant and was leading a company in battle. 17-Year-01d Lad Among First to Enlist in U. S.

HARMBBtJRQ irfStfti TELEGRAPH GERMANS FAIL IN 1 FIELD FIGHTING British Outwit Teutons in Drives Through the Open By Associated Press From a Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press. British Head quarters In France, via London, April 14. lt is not without difficulty that one conies to a realization that semi open warfare has replaced the old deep trench lighting on the greater I part of the British front. It is diffi cult even for the lighting men actually to grasp the situation, a situation for j which they have waited so long. Tho ' Germans possibly feel the change more than any one else for above all | things they love their underground | comforts. The Hermans were the first; to transfer lighting to ditches and they : are reluctantly giving up that style of ! warfare. The deep concreted dugouts and' tunnels along the old front were the only protection the Germans had | against the ever increasing British j gunfire and every time they get an j opportunity to pause now they im- j mediately begin to dig in. They take to cover as if by second nature. The j British have always contended that' the German " dugouts softened the. men, who congregated in them al-; ways and could only be kept with 1 difficulty in the open trenches. So it I was easier to' break the British of the j trench habit than has been the case j with the Germans. Open Field Tactics Open field tactics have been a part! of the training of the new British j army ever since its organization be gan in 1914. There has been some j criticism of that system from time to ! time on the ground that the war would I always be fought from trench to trench j but for the last few months the Brit ish army in France has been drilled in open tactics almost daily. The results of these training methods have been apparent in the last few days and will undoubtedly prove still more valuable in the wider operations which are un- , cfuestionably coming. The correspondent saw a bit of field maneuvering two days ago in which the British troops completely outwit ted part of Germany's crack regi ments. It is rather a striking com mentary that when the war began, the officer in command of the Brttisli unit was a young solicitor and such a I thing as leading soldiers into battle I had never entered his head. Two years j on training in the school of actual war | works its own wonders. "ON TO BERLIN" RECRUIT SLOGAN [Continued From First Page] York district, which is three times j as large." he said.
