M Life's Problems Are Discussed *" By MRS. WILSOX WOODROW Drink, the moralist will tell you. is the cause of a great part of the crime, evil and misery in the world: and In the same category, although probably in a lesser degree, he will list envy, jealousy, hatred, covetous ness and passion. I am not certain, though, that the greatest cause of evil and unhappl ness, the arch-instrument of Satan, is not just—friends. Deliver me from my friends! That has been the cry of all the ages, since the day that Eliphaz, the Tern anite, and Blldad, the Shuhite, and Zophar, the Naamathite, set out to visit Job in his affliction, and thereby to furnish a Rarable upon the value of friendship for all the years to come. "Miserable comforters are ye all!" Job finally burst dut upon them, Btung by their snug selfrighteousness, and that is the way many of us have felt under the tactless or malicious thrusts of those who come to con dole with us in our hours of sadness and adversity.' True friendship is one of the most precious things in the world, and like everything precious is very, very rare. But what crimes are commit ted in its sacred name. I tve a letter from a young ma tron In Brooklyn, which offers a fair example: "Dear Mrs. Woodrow: I am a young married woman, whose hus band is a traveling salesman, and obliged to leave on a four or five months' business trip every spring. "My husband and I are very con genial and we have the greatest faith and confidence in each other; but "A Golden Seal Customer— I A Satisfied Customer" I Convenient 1 Location helped to gain for us ! ha " hours, but as 1 was very weak / 0 from loss of blood •> i didn't cover much 7; time. Just before daylight, 1 came to cross, and 1 swam I it with everything 1 had on. This swim, which proved to be the first of a series that 1 was destined to make, taught me several things. In the first place, I had forgotten to remove my wrist-watch. This watch had been broken in my fall from the air, but I had had it re paired at Courtrai. In the leap from the train the crystal had been broken again, but it was still going and would probably have been of great service to me in my subsequent ad ventures, but the swim across the canal ruined it. Then, too, I had not thought to take my map out of my sock and the water damaged that, too. Thereafter, whenever I had any swimming to do, I was careful to take such matters into consideration, and my usual practice was to make a bundle of all the things that would be damaged by water and tie it to 'my head. In this way I was able to keep them dry. Hides by Day; Travels at Night It was now daylight and I knew that it would be suicidal for me to attempt to travel in the daytime. My British uniform would have been fatal to me. I decided to hide in the daytime and travel only at night. Not far from the canal I could see a heavily-wooded piece of ground, and I made my way there. By this time I had discovered that my left ankle had been strained in my leap from the train, and when I got to the woods I was glad to lie down and rest. The wound in my mouth had been opened, too, when I jumped, and It would have been difficult for me to have swallowed had not the piece of bread, which was to serve for my breakfast, got wet when I swam the canal. I found a safe hiding place in which to spend the day and I tried to dry some of my clothes, but slight drizzling rainfall made that out of the question. I knew that I ought to sleep, as I planned to travel at night, but sore as I was, caked with mud and blood, my clothing soaked through and my hunger not nearly appeased, sleep was out of the ques tion. This seemed to me about the long est day I had ever spent, but I was still to learn how long a day can really be and how much longer a night. When night came I dragged my self together and headed northeast. My clothing consisted of my Fly- Daily Dot Puzzle "~* r- 4* I* |6* *ig ° 3* I 18. *l7 J. 6| So. 49* 47 J #2 ' 46 * "yT" #25 46* / T / C 44* " — ss- — —^ • Si -> 43 \ at # i - *35 . 44 V > 4,- -4N- Sb y • v *37 A Trace the dots to five and naught, And the flsh will be -caught.

I had a wallet con taining several hundred francs in paper money and various other papers. I also had a jackknife which I had stolen one day from the prop erty room at Courtrai, where all the personal effects taken from prisoners were kept. For a day or two 1 car ried the knapsack, but as I had nothing to carry in it I discarded it. I traveled rapidly, considering my difficulties, and swam a couple of canals that night, covering in all perhaps ten miles before daylight. Then I located in some lbw bushes, lying there all day in my wet clothes and finishing my sausage for food. That was the last of my rations. That night I made perhaps the same distance, but became very hun gry and thirsty before the night was over. Lives on Raw Vegetables For the next six days 1 figured that I was in Germany, and I was living on nothing but cabbage, sugar beets and an occasional carrot, al ways in raw state, just as I got them out of the fields. The water I drank was often very rank, as I had to get it from canals and pools. One night 1 lay in a cabbage patch for an hour lapping the dew from the leaves with my tongue! During this period I realized that I must Tivoid meeting anyone at all hazards. I was In the enemy's coun try and my uniform would have been a dead give-away. Anyone who cap tured me or who gave information from which my capture resulted might have been sure of a hand some reward. X knew that it was necessary for me to make progress as fast as pos sible, but the main consideration was to keep out of sight, even if it took me a year to get to Holland, which was my objective. From my map I estimated that I was about thirty-five miles from Strassburg when I made my '.eap from the train, and if I could travel in a straight line I had perhaps one hundred and fifty miles to travel. As it was, however, I was compelled to make my detours, and I figured that two hundred and fifty miles was nearer the extent of the journey ahead of me. In several parts of the country I had to travel through forests of young pine trees about twelve feet high. They were very close together and looked almost as if they had been set out. They proved to be a serious obstacle to me because X could not see the stars through them and I was relying upon the heavens to guide me to freedom. lam not much of an astronomer, but I know the Pole Star when I see it. But for it I wouldn't be here today! I believe it rained every night andj day while I was making my way through Germany to Luxembourg. My invariable program at this stage of my journey was to travel steadily all night until about 6 in the morning, when I would com mence to look around for a place l wherein to hide during the day. Low bushes or woods back from the road, as far as possible from the traveled pathway, usually served me for this purpose. Having found such a spot, I would drop down and try to sleep. My overcoat was my onl ycovering. and that was usually soaked through! either from the rain or from swim-1 ming. The only sleep I got during those! days was from exhaustion, and it usually came to me toward dusk when It was time for me to start again. It was a mighty fortunate thing for me that I was not a smoker. Somehow I have never used tobacco in any form. I was now fully re paid for whatever pleasure I had foregone in the part as a result of my habits In that particular, be cause my sufferings would certain ly have been intensified now if, in addition to lack of food and rest, I had had to endure a craving for to (To Be Continued I Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX HOW TO "EXTEBTAIN" DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am in great Borrow due to the fact that I have lost my best friend and adviser, my mother.

He and his soldiers lived in the thick forests of South Carolina. The story is told that one day an English general sent a young soldier out to find General Marion and de liver to him a message. The mes senger found the general and his men about to eat their supper and he was asked to join them. When the plates were passed, they proved to be huge chips cut from a large tree near the eampfire. The English soldier locked these strange plates and began to wonder what the food would be. Soon a soldier appeared with some smoking-liot potatoes taken from the ashes of the eampfire. The English ribldier thought he had never eaten anything more dclicidus than those baked potatoes and a little later as they all sat around watch ing the plates burn in the glowing fire. General Marion said to the En glishman. "You now see what we Americans have to eat here in the woods. But just as long as we have potatoes, so long will we continue to fight for our country." American soldiers are now fight ing by the side of the English sol diers. In modern warfare, there is no need to eat from wooden chips. But there is need for plenty of nour ishing food for the soldiers. The po tato crops of Europe are diminished and it is not practicable to ship so bulky and perishable a food from America. The answer to this is that Amer ica must eat more potatoes and send that much more wheat to the boys at the front. One good-sized baked potato will equal in nourishment a slice and three-quarters of wheat bread. No patriotic American will hesitate to put into constant prac tice this litle service for his coun- r y - New Chief of Keystone Boys General Weigle Canip Hancock, Augusta, Ga„ April 23.—BrigadierGeneral William Weigle, formerly in temporary com ,mand of the Seventy-sixth division at Camp Devens, Mass., yesterday assumed command of the Keystone division at Camp Hancock, succeed ing Major General.
