(In previous adventures Pt.ggy has been
mad Princess of Rlrdland and baa been
given the us of a wonderful aerial chariot
The spell worked by grass from a fairy
ring makes her small enough to ride
through the air In the chariot.)
CHAPTER I.
The Mighty Whiw Army.
-T)RlNCESS PEGGY, wake up!
There's an army marching by!"
Teggy blinked her eyes half
open, then closed them drowsily
igain. It was just dawn far too
early to wake up for the day.
"Princess Peggy, get up at once or
you'll miss the wonderful sight."
This time Peggy opened her eyes
wide. Then slie hopped out of bed
and to the window. General Swallow
wa outside on the sill.
-rOh, are the soldier boys starting
for France?" cried Peggy.
"This is a different kind of an
army," shrilled General Swallow.
"Make yourself small; your aerial
chariot will be here directly."
Peggy felt in the pockets of her
pajamas to see if she had any fairy
ring grass left. Yes, there were sev
eral blades. A nibble at one of these
and, presto! she was as tiny as Gen
eral Swallow.
Over the treetop came sailing her
aerial chariot. The same eight Scar
let Tanagers acted as its flying
wheels, while 12 Bluebirds were its
winged horses. The Yellow Warblers
flew beside it as guard of honor and
in the rear were the righting guard,
the King Birds, who had whipped the
Crows.
The chariot landed on the roof of
the porch and Peggy climbed into it.
Then the Birds soared over the still
sleeping city. It was a beautiful time
for a ride in the air. The eastern sky
was just putting on its prettiest col
ors in honor of the rising sun and
from gardens and parkways came the
morning song of hundreds of town
dwelling Birds.
"There, can you hear the army?"
shrilled General Swallow.
Peggy listened intently. Above the
music of the. birds swelled another
melody: i
'My country, 'tis of thee.
Sweet land of liberty.
Of thee I sing."
Accompanying the song was a clat
tering, a banging and a drumming,
all in perfect time with the tune.
Peggy was eager with curiosity.
She leaned over the side of the chariot
to see whence the song was coming.
Below her was the city street. It
seemed deserted. But there was some
thing moving something like water
flowing along the pavement.
"Why. the street is flooded.'" she
exclaimed.
"Yes, flooded with soldiers."
shrilled General Swallow.
Beneath a Boche Airplane!
Nebraska Boy Tells How It
Feels in Letter Back Home
"We have plenty to eat, most of
the time. No! we get plenty to eat
all the time, but more at some times
than others."
Thus does Corp. Leslie Stark, now
with the engineers in France, clear
up one cause for worry, in a letter
to his parents at Holdrege, Neb. He
tells what is on the bill-of-fare: ,
,"We have white bread almost every
meal and hard-tack is not so bad.
But I know my table manners will
all be gone when I get back and I'll
have to learn all over gain. I'm in
the army now, you know."
A. C. Christensen, with the engi
neers forestry section, A. E. F., re
cently wrote a lengthy descriptive ar
ticle concerning Paris and the coun
try of France. The letter was written
to his cousin, E. Z. Christensen at
Mitchell, Neb., where Soldier Chris
tensen formely lived. In the letter
was1 a description of an air raid over
Paris, while Christensen was there
on a furlough. He wrote, in part, as
fr'ows:
"It was about 11 o'clock and I had
iust eone into the hotel to write a
letter when the 'alerte' sounded. This
is a warning for an air raid and I
wish I could describe just what that
means. They have a number of si
rens on the tallest buildings that
shriek and scream in the most wierd
way you can imagine. Added to this
the fire engines tear madly through
the streets, screaming and jangling
bells, and auto taxis take up the call
and even people take it up. In all the
heavy doorways is a poster marked
'abri, 10 places,' or SO places, designat
ing the number that may take shelter
there.
"The subway trains stop running and
people may take shelter down the
chutes which furnish room for hun
dreds, others go to .their caves and
cellars, and the French show their wis
dom by scurrying to the places of safe
ty immediately, which is the wise
thing to do, but the American sol
dier proves every now and then that
his head is not altogether brain, nor
bone, but that there is room for a lit
tle of the substance that goes to make
a fool, and I with others istead of do
ing the wiser thing made & run for a
good place to see the show.
'The 'alerte' keeps going for perhaps
20 minutes and bvthis time a barrage
is put up. This barrage is very simi
lar to that used on the front and con
sists of cannon fire in the directions
from which the aeroplanes are said to
be coming. A curtain of fire in other
words is kept up and it certainly is ex
citing: to see the shells of shrapnel
bursting way up in the air. You hear
the boom of the cannon, next you see
a bright star, appear and burst. This
is the bursting shell, then in a hort
time you hear the report. It looks al
most impossible for a plane to come
through and not get hit. If the plane
gets over the city our own machines'
get up there and mix it with them and
the searchlights play long, "finger-like
ttreaksof light here and there to spot
the boche.
This kept up for nearly an hour,
then the same engine went through
the streets giving the all clear, sig
nal. This time it is a bugle call, not
the terrifyingscream of the whistle
or siren, and I want to tell you that

ruake out that the stream was broken
up into regular divisions. She could
even see banners flying. But the sol
dierswhat were they? Not men
they were too tiny. Neither were they
Birds or animals. Peggy was puzzled
end amazed. Wliat could they be?
Down to the edge of the pavement
cropped the aerial chariot At the
same moment a military automobile
dashed up and came to a stop. Out of
it popped the oldest looking officer
Peggy had ever seen. His head was
as round as a dollar piece, while his
body was like a pocketbook. His uni
form was green. On his head was a
military helmet made of a half dol
lar. His legs were thin spindles and
his feet were nickels. In spite of his
queerness he seemed very dashing
and efficient.
He saluted Peggy smartly. Gener
al Swallow saluted in turn and intro
duced the officer:
"Princess Peggy, allow me to pre
sent General Thrift, commander-in-chief
of the W. S. S. Army."
"Oh, now I know what the soldiers
are," cried Peggy. "They are War
Savings Stamps."
"That's our official name." replied
General Thrift, ."but we prefer to be
called Whizzes.
"Why Whizzes?" asked Peggy,
"Because we're putting a lot of whiz
into this war and we're going to end
it with a whiz. I thank you for the
splendid company you have given us."
Peggy was puzzled. What could he
mean? She didn't know that she had
given any company.
"Here it comes now," cried Gen
eral Thrift.
Out from Peggy's home poured a

Correspondence of Associated Press.
Cardiff, Wales, July IS. Inhabi
tants of Cardiff were surprised the
other night to see the lord mayor,

their friends turn, out armed with
spades and brooms to clean two of
the principal streets.

trim body of soldiers. They joined
the main army and swung down tht
street As they marched past her the
officer commanding them saluted and
their standard-bearer turned his ban
ner so she could read the words:
"PEGGY'S COMPANY."
"Why, I believe you are the War

gy in delight. "Where are you
going?"
"We're going to whip the Kaiser,
. We're going to beat the hun,
We're going to make him wiser
By the time this war is won."
The answer rolled up to her from
her company and was swelled by a
chorus from the marching ranks. And
the Whiitzes looked as though they
meant it Each -was tiny in himself,
much smaller than General Thrift,
whom they somewhat resembled, but
each stepped out strongly, vigorously,
determinedly. And there were millions
and millions of them.
"My, they look like splendid fight
ers," she said. "I'd like to see them
in action."
As if to answer her wish a courier
came speeding down the street in a
tiny airplane.
"Hurry, hurry," he shouted to Gen
eral Thrift. "German submarines are
sinking ships off the American coast.
We need airplanes to fight them."
"Come on," shouted General Thrift,
"we'll show you how we do battle."

Commission is Named
to Conduct Holland's
Commercial Drive
Correspondent of Associated Press.
Amsterdam, July 3. An "Advisory
Commission for Economic Informa
tion Abroad-was inaugurated today
at the Hague, to direct Holland's
commercial offensive after the war.
The chairman is, W. F. C. L. Van
Rappard, former minister at Wash
ington, and the directorate includes
chairmen of the Chambers of Com
merce of Amsterdam and Rotterdam;
Van Aalst, president of the Nether
lands Trading company; Kroeller.
shipping magnate, and other chiefs of
departments trade, industry and agri
culture. J. J. Loudon, minister of foreign
affairs, addressing the commission at
his department, said that in view of
increasing impediments in the world's
traffic only preparatory projectssjpould
be made for post-bellum trade offen
sive. The chief object would be to
assist the producer, whose patriotism
and initiative he appealed to in order
to find fresh markets, especially with
regard to the colonies.
The government foresees, said Mr.
Loudon, the immense economic dif
ficulties which will have to be en
countered after the war.
Dutch consuls will be increased in
number and given additional facilities
to travel about, visit colonies and in
form themselves more thoroughly of
affairs within their jurisdiction, while
a number of consuls at large will be
appointed and experts sent out for
special purposes, Mr. Loudon added:
"My days of office are numbered,
but it will remain a source of satis
faction to me to have installed this
commission before departing from of
fice." Unique Drive Against the
Washington's Profiteers
Since living in Washington has be
come a battle against high prices,
lots of schemes to outwit the enemy
have been invented and tried. Here
is one that worked for a while.
A certain traveling salesman who
makes this city every few weeks and
remains for a week or two at a time,
did not like the hotel rates for rooms
and meals. So he had a brilliant idea
one morning, which led him to pay
a call on a friend who is a physician.
That afternoon the salesman reported
at one of the local hospitals, with a
certificate to the effect that he needed
certain treatment He engaged a fine
room in the southwest corner of the
building, from wliich he had a beau
tiful view of the Potomac.
Most of the day he spent outside
the hospital, for he was not a bed
patient. But he had his breakfast
there, and his dinner, and he slept in
the fine big room, where any vagrant
breeze was sure to find its way
through the windows. When he left
Washington, he expressed himself as
greatly pleased with his treatment. On
his next trip here he repeated the
performance. v
, Olfe day a nurse happened to notice
that the patient" never took any of
the medicine prescribed for him; she
found the pills and the bottles in the
waste basket. The physicians had
been somewhat puzzled for some time,
because the salesman didn't appear to
be at all sick. So they gave him the
third degree and got tJie story out of
him.
That ended his stay at the hospital;
it was too much of a good thing to
last long. He had been getting lodg
ing and meals for $15 a week. It
would have cost him $S0 or more for
the same accommodations at any first
class hotel. Incidentally, the physi
cian who gave him a certificate tha
enabled him to beat the hotel rates

HOME SERVICE
OF RED CROSS IS
NOW IN LONDON
Relatives of Wounded Sammies
Furnished Accurate Infor
mation by American
Organization.
Correspondence of Associated Press.
London, July 15. The "Home
Communication Service" branch of
the American Red Cross work, which
has already become well known in the
United States, now has its own de
partment at the American Red Cross
headquarters in London, occupying
an entire floor at 40 Grosvenor Gar
dens, under Captain Herbert Eden
borough. He commands a large staff
of workers and "searchers," who are
stationed at various points through
out Great Britain where they are in
constant touch with camps and hospi
tals where American soldiers are to
be found.
Relatives at home of American
soldiers in Europe desire 'information
of many kinds about the men, The
aim of the Red Cross Home Com
munication Service is to see that all
these inquiries are promptly and ade
quately answered. This work has
itianv nhases. but the most important
is that which deals with inquiries!
about men who have been wounded
or taken sick. The Red Cross aims
to keep in constant touch with every
American hospital case and to see
that the fullest reports on each case
go forward promptly to the anxious
relatives in America. The soldier in
hospital is followed carefully through
out his stay there and throughout his
convalescence, and everything pos
sible is done to see that he is kept.
in touch with home.
Information Correct
Emphasis is placed particularly' on
one point that information gathered
by the Home Communication Service
shall be absolutely correct and clear,
and shall be transmitted with the
greatest possible promptitude. It
must be borne in mind, of course,
that all lines of communication be
tween Europe and America are at
present overburdened, and military
use of those lines of communication
must not be interfered with; but,
aside from this consideration, the
Home Communication work of the
Red Cross takes precedence ovef
everything else, and no unnecessary
delays are permitted.
The work of the Home Communi
cation Service in England is just
starting, but already nearly 200 re
ports weekly are being made to
Washington, and, through Washing
ton, to the families in America of
men in England. In all the camps
the soldiers are informed that this
free Home Communication Service
is available. They are told where
they can find the special representa
tive charged with the work in their
district, and are" encouraged to make
the fullest use of his services. In
the hospitals, the representatives of
the department are in daily touch with
every American patient sick or
wounded, and trequent reports on nis
progress are made to headquarters.
Records of All Wounded.
Captain Edenborough came to the
Red Cross from a great business
house in New York, where he was a
recognized expert on filing systems
and business methods. For the sta
tistical branch of his London office
he has developed a comprehensive
system will be expanded indefinitely
which will enable instant reference
to the hospital history of any one of
thousands of American soldiers. The
system will be expanded indeTnitely
as need arises, and inquiries from
relatives or official departments re
garding soldiers in this country can
often be answered from these records
within a few minutes of receipt. If
necessary this first report can be
supplemented by the department's
"searchers" and if possible by an in
terview with the man himself.
The work in the hospitals in Great
Britain is complicated by the fact
that a large proportion of the Ameri
can hospital cases must necessarily
go to British hospitals, scattered all
over the British Isles. For instance,
American troops are taken ill in
transit or at points where they are
brigaded in small bodies with Brit
ish troops, as in the case of numerous
aviation units. These men are taken
to the nearest available military hos
pital, whether it is British or Ameri
can. But even if they are in a Brit
ish hospital, Captain Edenborough's
representative is at hand, and follows
their case just as carefully and com
prehensively as if they were in a
purely American institution.
On a recetft day, for example, the
Red Cross records showed that there
were about 1,000 American soldiers
in hospital, in Great Britain, a large
number of whom were in British hos
pitals. In each of the cases the de
partment has a complete record, with
a description of the patient's illness
or wounds, and the address of his
nearest relative in the States.

Tokio, July 1.- Japanese marines
who recently landed at Swatow, Chi

MORALS OF HUNS
LOWERED WITH

Ulfljl Ur Ol LLL
Crime and Depravity Among
Germans Increasing Since
War Started, Says Ber
lin Vorwaerts. .
War has caused an increase of
crime and depravity among the Ger
man people, according to an analysis
published by the Berlin Vorwaerts.
The paper recalls that at the begin
ning of the war, prophets spoke of
a "steel bath" in the waters of which
the morals of the German people
would recuperate.
"Since. August 4, 1914," says the
Vorwaerts, "we have allowed the
blessings of this bath to act on us
with steadily increasing vigor and .
the result is a moral condition of
health of the German people of which J
the compilations of criminal statis
tics give convincing reports. These
tell us of the steadily increasing num
ber of crimes of brutality, and serious
crimes against property, and a glance
at any newspaper confirms the horri
bly increasing number of robberies',
and burglaries in the cities as well as
in the rural districts. Systematically
organized and methodically operating
bands of robbers menace continually
life and property of 'respectable' citi
zens. All Break Laws.
"Also honesty of the latter has suf
fered a perceptible "crack" and here
the influence of the steel bath is di
rectly proved. We do not fear that
we are disclosing any state-endanger
ing secret when we announce the fact
that at present there probably are "
few German subjects left who have
not in some more or less serious man
ner violated the existing government
decrees and laws and made themselves
liable to punishment."
The Vorwaerts then cites the in
stances of the citizen, who on Sundays
goes to the country to buy food for
hoarding purposes, of the proud wife
of the owner of a large estate, whosn
chickens "lay eggs only for a mark
aoiece. oi tne wue oi me urst lieu
tenant who sells the food articles re
ceived from her husband at the front
at fancy prices, and the army usurers,
secret traders and forgers.
The Vorwaerts then dwells on the
effects of the steel bath on the grow
ing generation and cites complaints
by the clergy and teachers to show
that depravity is one of its results, "
The paper calls attention to what
it describes as the "fruits of the best
education as shown during the Ra-deck-Bernstorff
libel case." It adds
"When refined cavaliers of the most
prominent society apply the most
common names to each other and box
each other's ears, then no one has
the right to claim for one certain
class, decency andwell-behav'tor.
"The steel bath exerts its effects
on everyone and splashes over the
home of the proletariat as well as
over the playroom ot the family of
the count, concludes the Berlin pub
lication. ... - .
