Soldiers In Trenches Made Excuses For All Sorts of Crimes, While Latest Amusement Is Writing Love Letters to Men at Front Just to Ch-eer Them on Battle Line. The happy days of fortune telling in Paria are over. Mediums, cltirvoyunts, astrologers, readers of jxilms and cards have uow to make their living some other way. The police found that too many wom en were sjn-nding their pittances la fortune telling parlors. So the ban hat gone forth and in one week sixty-nine professors of occult knowledge were brought before the magistrates. "What harm does Ji do?" ther asked. "We always tell encouraging things. We always prophesy letters and good news, it keeps people cheered lip and happy." Many of them wild their only boh> their husbands, were at the front All source of revenue was cut off and they had to do something. But the court was obdurate anil said the profession was entirely out of keeping with tha seriousuess of the times. They Neatly Evade Law. Home of them, however, continue to prophesy, but udhere strictly to the letter of the law in not giving any definite date. For instance, one of the best known of them told the fortune of a young actress in this neatly evasive way: "You will receive a letter soon. I can't tell you exactly when. The po lice have forbidden me to." Anil for that little phrase she ask j ed $2. In tie Paris police courts many pa i thetie cases are seen. There are man; i which are due solely to the war, ne\i 1 professions and new crimes which havt j sprung up. j There are men with one leg who ge a uniform and go around soliciting alms under tlie pretense that they iost the leg in the trenches. What scores of men and women up for theft al ways say Is: "Your honor, I have a sou (a brother or perhaps n husband) at the front. 1 know what he is suffering there in the trenches, and I couldn't resist the wish to send him something. Alas, I had no money, and that is why I committed this unpardonable act. Bur my love was stronger than my conscience." Having heard tills about twenty times one morning, one of the judges grew a little weary of it. When a woman came up accused of having given short weight in butter—only half of what she Was being paid for. in fact—he said: "Well. you. at any rate, can't make use of the argument that you wore sending something to the trenches.'" She Had ths Old Excuse, "it comes to the same thing." the woman sniil calmly. "1 have a friend In the trenches, and the morning this tiling happened I got word that I:e was seriously wounded. 1 simply lost my head anil didn't know what 1 was do ing. That was why I didn't notice how much butter 1 was selling." Every sort of charitable soc.ety ha/ been formed In Parm since the war. There are those ili.it concern them selves with the physical welfare of the soldiers and those of the mora! and religious.

RATHER HE HOLDS IT A HELP Harvard University Expert on Phys ical Training Declares His Experi ence of the Feata of Girls Proves That It Is Impossible to Set Limits to Their Endurance. Women could he made as fit for mili tary duty as men, in the opinion of Dr. Dudley A. Sargent of Harvard univer sity, who has given more than half a century of study to the problem of physical training of young folk. lie holds that sex is no handicap to mili tary training and cites many examples of physical feats performed hv women "Even,- day." said I>r. Sargenr. "I au astonished at the physical and mental possibilities shown by young women yet in college and those who are ah ready out in the world making good. Almost daily I find it necessary to re \ iso my carefully worked out theories und formulas as to what young women can do until now I find it safest not to suggest the limits of their capabilities. "In one of the sad stories that litis* just come to us of the terrible Lusita uia tragedy we have accounts of sev eral women who swam about for many hours until rescued. What they did any able bodied, well trained woman might have done. At the time >f the sinking of the Empress of Ireland in the Gulf of Ft. Lawrence a child only ten years old swam and floated about In the water for several hours and seemed none the worse for her adven ture. Capablo of Marvelous Endurance. "All theories to the contrary, wom en are capable of marvelous oniluraieu 1 . Ineligible for training for military serv ice. But in spile ,;f to supi>ort this contention, many per sons will shake their head s and say that I am forgetting that women are the hearers of the race and that their penalty for physical hardships will be sure and l'ar-reaehing. "Nature, in giving to her si spcial task —:v\ is not a In utlieup. ei ther mental or physical, unless woman chooses to make it one. "The great stretches of Russia could show up countless stolid faced, big muscled, sturdy women, who plow fields, reap the crops, make the bin' k bread and bear the children and who have never even heard that they are a weaker sex. "There are in most of our large cities today foreign born women who are fa miliar to us chiefly as picturesque fig ures on the streets as they are home ward bound with a week's fuel bal anced gracefully on their heads. They walk upright and easily, and the care ful observer will note a sturdiuess that will surprise him. Bs*ter Equipped Than Man. "Physiologically the healthy woman Ls better equipped by nature to with stand cold and exposure than the aver age rfian. Every one knows that in regions of severe climate men wear heavier clothing and more of it than women. "To say that a woman's pride is keeping her warm as she sweeps up the street on a blustering zero da> with open coat, thin shirt waist, ex posed neck and thinly stockinged feet is not altogether true, for nature is aid ing her. Fhe will, of course, suffer from unwise exposure, but not to the I same degree that a man would. "But the sad. fact Ls that few of our A me dean Ixiru women, the descend ants of our early settlers, are trained up to even a moderate degree of bodily efficiency. "An üblehodied woman who has un dergone the sumo rigorous training that a soldier has should suffer no more serious consequences than he from forced marches in a injuring rain or a sleepless night in a trench. "The type of modern woman who is n product of stoum heated apartments, matinees, teas and ennui is fitted nei ther for motherhood nor for suffrage to say nothing of tasks savoring of mil itarism. But a woman of this tyjn* is in a class by herself. To he sure, the class is rather large, hut the women who compose it are not the ones who will shape the future either of our homes or of our nation's destinies. "In a frame of miml that would be ludicrous if it were not pathetic these women shield themselves from physi cal exertion, accept headaches and of It er weaknesses as if they were a part of their heritage as women and resort to bridge and similar 'light' recrea tions."

Whether the American freighter hit a mine or was deliberately torpedoed t>y a German submarine will orobably not be divided until an expert ex amination of her hull after her arrival back at Liverpool.

Greene of San Francisco, said: "Struck either by mine or forjiedo forty-eight miles west of Fast net Am steaming under convoy to Liverpool. Water in lowc hold. No one injured. Greene." Four dispatches concerning the Ne hraskan were received at the state de partment in Washington -one frotu Walter 11. Page, the American ambas sador in I/omlou. and two from Rob ert I*. Skinner, the United States con sul general in London. The dispatch from the ambassador said: "Urgent. Report at midnight last night to British admiralty from Lands End stales that American steamer Ne braskan torpedoed forty-tivc miles south by west of Southclifi'e, crew tak ing to Inmts. British trawler standing by now reports Nebraskan still afloat and making for Liverpool with four holds full of water. No lives reopfLeU lost." British Say Torpedoed. The tirst dispatch from Consul Gen eral Skinner was as follows: "Admiralty reports American steam er Nehraakan. Liverpool for Delaware Breakwater, torpedoed forty miles south by west of Fast net. Crew In boats. Standing by. Weather tine." Later the following cablegram came from the consul general: "Nebraskan proceeding to Liverpool under own steam about eight and a half knots, crew having returned on j board. Apparently no lives lost. Ex tent of damage unknown." The fact that the Nebraskan was damaged while she was forty miles at eu in water of a depth of about 500 feet, as shown by the British admiral ty chart, at a place supposed t<> Ik* re mote from any <>f the British mine fields and with the water too deep to plant mines, created the distinct im pression that she must have lnvn struck by a torpedo. Dispatches from Ireland say that a submarine was sighted near Barley cove, about ten miles from Fast net, between 1> and 1# o'clock at night. The Nebraskan was struck between 8 and p o'clock. Irish People Saw Submarine. Several residents of Crook haven turn ed out aud went along the shore, keep lug a sharp lookout. They sighted a submarine off the cove near the mouth of a little crock. One of the inen on .--bore fired two shots with a rifle at Gh men in the conning tower of the sub marine.
