Ten thousand boys toe young to fight are doing what they consider the next best service for their country, turning out munitions In the government arsenal here, In ordinary time! many would have become offlo boys, clerks or tale graph messengers, btu today the major ity come from point miles from th fac tory and help th older men make the hll and guns nseded by th men at the front. The pay Is attractive. A smart boy can earn 17.50 a week or even $10 If he has a good machine and can keep etead lly at work for a long as twelve hours a day. Parents who have to choose be tween putting thlr boy to learn a trade at U or UM a week and allowing them to go Into th arsenal at the higher re muneration are naturally Inclined to de cide on the work which not only brings In the quickest returns, but seems te be In the national Interest a well. Social workers who have the boys' wel fare at heart are Inclined to lament that lo mahy should be entering what may not, perhaps, provs a permanent occupa tion. They say that their future Is not unlikely to become a problem after th wsr and that th eountry might well re member then that the great army of boy munition workers played no small part In the difficult time. Th dally life of these boys shows what sacrifices they are msklng. Thousands live an hour's journey from the factory, and some have to leave home a early as C M In th morning and cannot get bark till 30 In th evening. All work twelve hours day. starting at I and finishing at I. They take th night shift, too. also for twelve hours, and often a boy may b seen asleep from sheer ex hauatlon on hi way horn In tramcar or train. Every effort Is made by th ministry of munition to safeg-uard th haalth of the youngsters, but th problem la a difl rult on. Eight-hour shifts are being ursed arid efforts are being made to 'mprove the transportation facilities to ind from the arsenal. One of th latest uectln and th one moat likely to carried out Is te build miles ol huts lose to the . arsenal, where the boy i uld live while enjafd In shell mak n REAL ESTATE Farnam Street, A Growing Street Extend.?

He had remarkable girts as a showman and a powerful personality that ensbled him to work his cures. He inspired faith., drew people to hlra like a tnasnet snd ekecrised a certain spell of hypnotic nature over them. Touring tha country In magnificent est y le. he would hire the largest hall In the place, work up enthusiasm with a brass band and then proceed to work hi miracles of cure. He was srv exceptionally fine elo cutionist, a fluent speaker and something of a singer talents he later put to use on the variety stage after giving up the hiedtcine business. Another natural en dowament wa great phyilcal strength. He could pull out the most obstinate tooth, even if he took a piece of jawbone with It, and then make the patient ewear before the audience that the operation was painless. When be applied his magic oil against rheumatism, he geve the pa tient such a severe rubbing that the origi nal pain was forgotten. Wsny patients who hobbled on the stag earn off with out crutches, owing to faith and excite ment. But reliirf was, of course, only temporary.

LONDON, Feb. 20.Whsn the British were fighting around Ctosiphon, trying to pimh through to Bsgdad, a barge loaded with 3i British wounded and the neces sary medical ataff got stuck on a mud bank of the Tigris and had to be aban doned. The Turke towed the barge down stream under a white flag and sent the lot, both wounded and attendants, back to the British ramp. This is related In a letter from a Brit ish officer who was wounded at Cteal phon. "I have the greatest admiration fur th Turk," h writes, explaining that he means the Puoca Turks and not the Kurds who cut down the Armenians, or the Turco-Arsbs. Another incident concerns two woundsd British officers left on the battlefield In the night and found by the Turks. Al though th Turk took away all their equipment such as field glassea, haver Sack, belt, revolver and papers, they gave the offloers watsr, loosened their clothing and made them comfortable. The officers were left on th field, where they were rescued next day by their owa nyn. The writer says In regard to conditions In his hospital that th number of Jaun dice cases is remarkable. Ther seams to be a curious tendency to develop jaun dice la Mesopotamia, owing cither to the water or weather conditions. Key to the Situation Be Wsnt Ads.

Unable to Import from over ifi markets whst formerly had come 'rom abroad, Austria-Hungary and Ger- ynany, the writers point out, mobilised if the war. The utilisation of home re ources and the prevention of waste, and later the partial withdrawal from gen eral consumption of stuffs and materials needed to carry on the war, made the two empires economically self-contained. Frlenc contributed much to this. The result wa that while th entente bought In foreign countries the central powers, unable te do so, kept the money which otherwise would have gone out of the countries. Today th population of the two empire haa become accustomed to he frugality and self-denials which con ditions Imposed and those who Judge the situation psychologically assert that the degree of sseetlclam which has been fos tered In this manner ha" become an tm norlant causal agent of military spirit and strength. Money Hot Starkest Factor. The economic scheme which the war forced upon central Burope Is not wtth out Its novel and Interesting features. In th first place th theory that money was likely to ' be the biggest factor In a modern .war haa been exploded, aay the write ra. It has been praven that the capacity to resist economically la more Important, a condition which presup posed both the availability of raw ma terial and a good industrial organiza tion. Oermany, It is pointed out, pos sessed the latter to a high degree, and ably supported by its scion t Is ts the em pire wss in a position not only to ob tain maximum results from its resources and stores, but to augment them, princi pally by th aid of Its well-developed chemistry and physical sciences. Aus tria-Hungary followed suit, so that at the beginning of the year 1916 most chan nel leading to economic wast had been shut. One of the most disquieting problems wa that of metals for military purposes, notably copper, tin and . nickel. The metals were needed In large quantities copper for th guide-flanges of the ar tillery projectiles and copper and " tin together. In th form of brass, for shrap nel heads and rifle cartridges, while nickel was required for the shells or mantels of rifle bullets. Iron and steel were available In unllmltel quantities. Muoh copper, tin. bras and nickel were during th summer turned over for use of th armies by the population. Thou sand of ton were unearthed In the metal campaigns." These are still go ing on, but with th taking of Serbia and th opening of th road, to Turkey cop per and tin are now no longer on the list of Worries. Copper is produced- In considerable quantities In Serbia. Bul garia and Turkish Asia Minor, ' th latter country also producing tin. Chemicals and other substance needed for th manufacture of explosives have never been really scare. This Is 'espe cial! true of cotton, on of th principal ingredients in tri-nltrocellulos explosives, of which gun cotton 1 the best known. It 1 considered likely that the costly methods In whioh soms of the chemicals were won, from th nitrogen of th air, for instance, will be superfluous as soon as transport conditions from Anatolia hav become normal. In that part of th Ottoman empire many of th element needed in pyrotechnic chemistry are found. s Th food question, by reason of lta magnitude, required ' much thought and attention, th artlcl says. It affected the entire population. No precedents were available. Mistakes were made, but in th end satisfactory result were ob tained. Supplies were husbanded by re stricting consumption, and speculation and "prlc driving" wer prevented by fixing maximum rates for some articles, and making th "handling of necessities and commodities for profit" illegal and punishable with heavy fines and im prisonment War loans wer mad with little dif ficulty, say th reviews. The fact that littles of th money raised by the central power governments went out of the country Is largely responsible for thla. Had Austria-Hungary and Oermany been able to buy abroad, they might be in a dlMcult position today, especially since an unrestricted, or partly restricted Im port would In no wise have been coun teracted by export. With nearly 12.000,000 men under arms. Oerman and Austro ilungarlsn Industries could not hope to supply their foreign purchasers in measure great enough to maintain the balance of export and Import . of normal time. Imports, therefore, it ts sad, would hav caused detrimental financial drains. As on of th writers says: "England did us a great favor In cut ting off our avenues of trade." Fully 5 per cent of the war loans have remained In the two countries. The money haa been spent for war mateii.il turned out In the home plants and mo-i of It ha been paid out In wages. Rich and poor alike have subscribed to the war loans. The savings bank subscrip tions and participation ef working peo ple show that the war loans keep more or less the same money In circulation. The surest barometer of leakage Is the conversion of commercial securities. It Is asserted, and this, vrhll Increasing a little with each surresJlv loan, has nevertheless been Slight.

GETS PLEDGE FROM GERMANS (Correspondence of the Aasoclated Press.) PARIS, Feb. 7. Madame "Pare-Devil" Is dead. Madame Dare-Devll was th nsme given by French soldiers to Madam Meunier, wife of a fsrmer at leaart. not far from the Nanteull-le-iraudouln, where the English troops passed September S last under the pressure of continually multiplying Oerman troops on Its left flank. The peasants of Lrf-seart,' most of them, plied their personal effects Into carfy-alls and carts and fled before the conflict. Madame Meunier, however, re fused to budge. Solidly braced against her door-sill, she turned a deaf ear to all appeals. She remained alone ther with her old mother of 73 and three young servants. . fhe burled her choice pro visions, hnr wine and a number of bottles of old brandy In the garden, bought a polgnard for personal defense and waited for the Germans. From the surrounding" country ther succeeded wave after wave of thick rank of gray. Five army corps, nearly 300,000 men, marched through that region toward the Marno. In the early morning hour of the next day a German officer knocked on the door of Madame Meunier farm house with the hilt of his sword. "I must have milk, bread, meat, wine, salt and pepper for my men," he cried. Nnmea the Condition. Madame Meunier got together all the provisions that were visible in the house, and when the count had been made, the German officer offered her a bank bill. Madame Meunier drew herself up and pushed the bill back with her hand. "I have only given you what you woul l have taken if I had refused. I do not want your money. Tou can take every thing you find here free of charge," she added. "But on one condition." "A condition?" "Yea, on condition that I shall go and come at will. I wiil attend to my affairs' In my own way. Otherwise you shall have nothing more at all." "So be It," the officer replied, Vhut let me give you a little advice. Take good care Of yourself. My men don't trifle." Scarcely had the officer turned upon his heela when Madame Meunier ran to the stable, hitched up the only convey ance she had, stuffel her cart full of the provlsiona she had secreted and in a few minutes the old horse was trotting at top speed along the road between the line of German troops on the march. At Versigny a patrol stopped her, searched tho cart and showed their delight at the find they had made. The legend has It that Madame Meunier, with a raised whip, exclaimed: "Down with your paW These pro Vision are for Ui German general staff." - a, Paaaew-fthe Guard. At this, it is said, th patrol divided respectfully and allowed the cart to pas on. Violating all orders by her audacity. Madam Meunier g-ot through th Ger man line, reached th hospital at Nan-teull-U-Haudouln and distributed her pro vlsiona among the wounded French and English soldier at th hospital, lipping' Pieces of money into their hands, and left with the triumphant cryi "Until tomorrow, my lad." The next day and the following and for ten days thereafter, Madame Meunier" passed through the German line every day with her charge of provision for her protege in the hoepltal at NanteuU-Ie-Haudouln. On September 12, -on th road from Nanteull to Lessard, her old cart was suddenly caught in a storm of hells. (The Germans ail around, under brief and nervous orders, were forming In columns, hitching their horse to their field guns.
