Had the United Sfates of America been embroiled in a war with ‘Imperial Germany sometime before the fourth of last Murch there would have been an elimination .of the Inaugural pro- cession at Washington. As it was, this event was characterized by all the solemnity chafacteristic of a nation about to enter the war. celebration, the second inauguration ceremony of Woodrow Wilson. Since that day in Congress when the indictment against Germany was read by the American President and later acted on by the American Congress there has come over the nation & sub- lime sense of the importance of quiet- Many national functions that. usually take place:about this time of the year have been: stricken from the books, postponé'to more, favor- able tithes. Many of the events scheduled for the future are being held in abeyance because of the war. It was only last week that the great order of Elks held their annual con- vention in Boston. But it was not a conventipn that could be compared with the fifty-odd that went before. It was, on the contrary, a very solemn, a very sober, a very silent affair. Now the oity of New Orleans has decided to forego Its Mardi Gras celebration during the continuance of the war. Only once before has this great merry-making event been held up and that was during the Civil War. Introduced in 1857, the Mardi Gras and Carnival of New Orleans has long been the classic celebration of -its kind in this country. People have come from all parts of the nation, and the world, to witness the weird capers and the fantastic festivities that take place the week before Lent, Ordinarily, the people of the United States cannot forego their amuse- ments. They should not even now shut down on their just quota of re- laxation. The war will bring enough sorrow of its own without the people making more for themselves by going entirely into a role of national penitent, Nevertheless, such events as the Mardi Gras, where wholesale fun :s in order, just as well be disprnsed with Upon their resumption they will be all the more appreciated. may WHERE THEY COME FROM. definitely established the birthplace of the cigarette. Re- search parties, if there are any, have failed to bring in data tending to set up an authoritative date for the introduction of this form of smoking among the men,—and now the wo- men,—of the world. Probably Sir Walter Raleigh ‘“rolled one of his own’ on the way back from Virginia No one has when he carried with him the first al- lotment of tobacco export from the New World. From that day to this, however, there has heen a great in- crease in the consumption of tobacco via the cigarette. During the fiscal year just ended six*billion cigarettes were exported from the United States. This, cording to a compilation by the Na- tional City Bank of New York. The value of this great number of cigar- imated at $12,000,000. Two- thirds of this entire shipment, or four ac- ettes ig es billion ¢ rettes, found thelr way into China. Which goes to show that China has dropped the opium pipe for American made cigarettes. In ad- dition to the great exports to China there were large amounts sent to the Straights settlements, to Siam, Corea, British India, Ceylon, and the Dutch | East Indies. Anent this same subhject, it is inter- esting to learn that or nothing to do with the American cigarette, while America to other lands for the same method of enjoying tobacco.

German Treatment of Irish, Skibereen Cor. in the Cardiff Times) Some time ago the crew of the St. ‘Bridget were busily at work, when they saw a long gray hull rising from the sea about a mile away. It was a German submarine. It bore quickly down upon the St. Bridget, and whilst it was still two hundreds yards away the command *“Hands up!” was shouted from its deck, Half dazed and frightened, Michael O’Flaherty and his men hesitated. Then rifle’ shots rang out over the waters, and little Patsy Flaherty fell wounded. In a few minutes the submarine was alongside, and several of her crew came on board the St. Bridget armed to the teeth. Fishing baskets, fish, spiller lines and sail were quickly _thrown overboard—a few blows of a sledge hammer smashed the engine to fragments—and then, having photo- grahed their handiwork, the pirates, decamped, carrying with them all the the parafine and white bread they found on board. Dazed and broken, Michael O'Flaherty and his men were ordered to make fast to the subma- rine, and towed toward a mackerel boat, Which the submarine sank with a bomb.

The system naturally will be enlarged to fit needs. At present it consists of in requiring of each soldier or officer that he ad- dress his communications of every nature from the American training camp and deposit them in a special post office from where they will be taken by pouch to Paris and mailed in the ordinary way. How to Address Mail, All return mail should be addressed to the training camp of the Ameri- can = expeditionary . forces, Paris, whence it will be forwarded to the proper address, When the troops deft their base they took with them surplus supplies which are now being turned back to the quartermaster’'s department head- quarters for redistribution 8o that there will soon be more than enough of such things as tobacco and similar little luxuries which have been some- what scarce among some troops and sections. Each succeeding day brings a better degree of order and system out of the inevitable confusion atten- dant upon moving a large body of troops. Offifficers’ Billets. who billeted among the in- are still billeting at the prices that prevail for the majority. They may by request pay one franc daily for quarters and, pro- vided they eat a ‘hotel” expend seven francs daily for food. Prices are thus kept low to prevent a repetition of events early in the war, when allied troops in French territory, accus- tomed to city prices, all but spoiled the French population by paying what seemed to them moderate but really were enormous rates for everything. Thetroops have been here for less than a week-—they are_not all here by any means—and they have already made themselves thoroughly at home, so much ;so that this section of France looks like a little bit of America. The correspondent made an ex- tended visit to the encompments this morning and found the men fit and in good spirits and full of praise for the friendly co-operation of the French people, who have gladly given up many of their own comforts to ac- commodate all the Americans who have arrived, and so the countryside is dotted with newly erected barracks that heve sprurig up over night, and make even more picturesque this beautiful neighborhood. Training Is Intensive, An even more strenuous course of training is in force here than at the original camp near the landing point of the troops. The men work a mini- mum of eight hours daily. The offi- cers have twelve to sixteen. In addi- tion, they take tremendous hikes to get into condition. Here and there one falls by the wayside by the exer- tion, but the majority are standing the gaff in a way that speaks volumes for the efficiency of the system. Plans are rapidly developing for regular and constant training in co- operation with the French troops en- camped in this district whose long ex- perience has been placed at the dis- posal of the newcomers. The French and American headquarters are in the same building, and there is constant co-operation between the two forces, which will seen be so developed that the Americans not only will have guidande and instruction from French officers, but virtually there will be as experienced and trained mentar for each trooper. They will be willing mentors, too, for the French are so enthusiastic about the Americans that they even march about,with American flags attached to their bayonets. Pure Water Needed. * Water is abundant here, but un‘u. tain &s to purity, so the troops are adopting filtering methods by means of bags suspended from tri-pales, which astonish the local inhabitants almost as much as the Americans’ in- explicable thirst for water. which is unknown to wine drinkers, many of whom seldom touch water. A task which the army has taken Officers habitants moderate ! upon itself is the clearing up of the entire countryside, and at the present pace the whole district will soon leak like a well ordered garden. Such prisoners as are under arrest for minor infractions of the regulations are employed each morning in making headquarters spotless, and are bring- ing such a degree of orderliness into the place that the original residents are amazed. Likewise they find it difficult to understand why the saldiers | take so many baths, for the men make ! for the nearest s‘vea™ and dive in as soon as they ar eat liberty. The presence of the soldiers here has naturally introduced many novel- ties, but probably none is more wel- come ttan the daily evening concert, which attracts people from far around, people chiefly who have never heard lively American music: who have bheen without music since th eoutbreak of the war, . Telegraph Service Poor. but not altogethsr cnai brief mes The length of the despatches cc{ letely upset the operators at the beginning, and their unfamiliarity with the English lan- guage increased the diffioulties. The situation, however ,is improving. As a tribute to the marching ability of the troops, it might be mentioned that the soldiers have lost so many hobnails on the roads that about half of the motor cars in camp have picked them up and have rejoiced thereby in punctures. An attractive feature of the camp is & lion cub, which occupies a corner in the camp of a certain regiment. The cub was presented as a mascot by Americans resident in Paris. He was young and playful and harmless a short time ago, but is growing astonishingly, and is a veritable ter- | ror to the townspeople and now a source of doubtful amusement to the soldiers, many of whom bear scratche es to testify to the nature of his play- fulness. MILITANT SUFFS PLACED IN JAIL Sixteen Women Start Serving Sixty Day Sentence Washington, July 18.—In the workhouse of the District of Colum- bia, the Occoquan, V&, twenty miles below the national capital on the Po- tomac River, sixteen militant Suffs of the National Woman's Party be- gan & sixty days’ sentence yesterday afternoon. \ They were convicted in the police court for staging a Bastile Day. cele- bration at the White House on July 14 which resulted In the blocking of traffic there. Judge Mullowny gave each the alternative of paying a fine of $25, but after a thirty-minute con- ference all declared they would not pay the fine and would go to prison. These are the sixteen, who were taken in autpmobiles to Supt. Whit- taker's penal institution: Miss Julia Hurlbut and Mrs. J. A. H. Hopkins of Morristown, N. J.; Mrs. Beatrice Kinkead of Mount View, Cal; Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles of Wilmington, Del,, daughter of Thomas F. Bayard, the first Unit- ed States ambassador to Great Brit- ain and Cleveland's secretary of state; Miss Minnie Abbott of Atlantic City, N. J.; Mrs. Paul Reyngau. of Detroit, Miss Anne Martin of Nevada, Mrs. Robert Walker of Baltimore, Miss Jane Frothingham of Buffalo, Mrs. Gilson Gardner of this city, Miss Doris Stevens of Omaha, Neb.; Miss Mary H. Ingham of Philadelphia, Mrs. John Rogers of New York, a sister-in-law of former Secretary of War Stimson; Mrs. John Winters Brannan of New York, daughter of the. late Charles A. Dana; Miss Eleanor Calnan of Methuen, Mass., and Mrs. Louise P. Mayo of Framing- ham, Moss. As soon as the militants had made known their decision tc Judge Mul- lowny, they were herded into the pris- oners’ deck, where they held a levee. Judge Mullowny passed sentence on them shortly after the noon recess. He read to them the peace and order act and told them there was nothing unusual about a case under the act. Go Of Own Free Will. “I have before me ladies of cul- ture, refinement and broad knowl- edge who are well informed and well read,” he declared. “You actually and earnestly believe that you can do this thing and you belleve that you must not be disturbed—must be priv- ileged characters, that you must not be bothered and not taken to task for violation of this act. I will hot attempt to argue with you or reason with you. I cannot see how I can be fair without declaring you guilty. In my judgment you are guilty and I so find you.” Miss Stevens noted an exception. Judge Mullowny asked If the de- fendants had anything to say as to\ sentence. Corporation Counsel Hart interposed by asking for the maxi- mum sentence. Miss Stevens called attention to the fact that no member of the group had been before the court previously and that was all they wished to say for themselves. Judge Mullowny said the wowmen had undoubtedly talked over and con- sidered their action. “If vou go to Jell’" he stated, ‘it will be because of your own free will and pleasure.” Malone Interested, Dudley Field Malons, collector of the port of New York, who was a witness for the Suffragiste on Mon- day, was again in court and held sev- eral conferences with trem on their plans for going to the workhouse. There were rumors he would resign his position to handle the legal end of the case for the Suffragists. “I am going to the White House ee¢ the president,”” he declared. “Further than that I will make no comment at this time.” To the court Mrs. Hopkins made a speech from the dock in her own defense, saying: “I was arrested on the Independ- ence Day of our ally, France, for car- rving a banner bearing the motto of the French republic to the gates of the White House. The crowd gath- ered not to see the pickets, but to see police arrest the pickets. The way to disperse the crowd is not to withdraw the pickets but to withdraw the police.” FISHERMEN PROFIT.
