NEW MASK FOR FIGHTERS
rlous sizes for use of the French artillery on the Verdun front.
FOUR FAIR FINGER-PRINT EXPERTS
This new mask Is now used by Bel
gian soldiers. It protects the face of

drawn back when not In use. Some

print experts. They have recorded, classified and filed an impression of tho
digits of every' man In the nnvy from the rear admiral's down to the rawest
recruit's. They can do the Job they are working on now In five minutes, and
In another five minutes they can tell whether his print has ever been made

Who Wakes the Bugler?
Philosophers who iped In rosy pence
days on "Which arrived first, the egg
or the chicken?" might well train all
their wits, now that war Is about us,
upon the cantonment mystery: Who
wakes the bugler? Have you consid
ered the problems which Ids job en
tails? He lsnt even allowed an alarm
clock. His only harbor Is the guard.
And the guard is human. It Is more
horrible to contemplate than what
would have happened had there been
uo one around when the stars and the
suns and earths were waiting In the
wings for the call lKy to warn them
when their act was due. And, too, If
you wish to push the discussion back
nnd back beyond stars and suns, who
wakes the guard!
No Hatf-Way Measures.
