WAR'S SIGNS AND
WARNINGS
I
. <
Stories are current among the
French people of mysterious hap
penings that took place before the
great war began. One is that a
gust of wind carried the immor
telles off the statues ot the lost
provinces in Pari3, leaving them
dean of mourning Another is of
the fall of the kaiser’s portrait in
a famous gallery. It is also said
that among the Hohenzollerns
themselves have appeared signs
and warnings that their day is at
an end.
So writes Miss Phyllis Camp
bell. in a paper on omens and
! warnings of the war, in the “Oc
J cult Review " She relates several
episodes in detail. One is that on
May day, 1914, she traveled to
Metz with a young English offi
cer of engineers—since killed at
1 Ypres—who was one of a part'.
1 in\ ited by the kaiser to tour the
I German fortifications and battle
fields of Alsace-Lorraine. He had
declined to go beyond Metz be
cause he would not eat the kais
1 s -all not liking the Germans.
He told Miss Campbell how the
sword of his grandfather—who
night for France—fell from the
wall with its point across his
•plate. A second relates to a
French officer of high rank, mar
j ried to a beautiful Alsatian lady
of German parentage. A friend
jof the husband, a Frenchman of
[an old family, was warned by a
ghostly visitant to tell the hus
band a certain thing. He did so
and found that the lady’ had fled.
I She was arrested at the frontier,
'carrying plans, and she was shot
after her husband had told her
that the plans she had stolen were
old ones, the present ones having
I been sent to a subordinate for
reasons of safety.—Ex.

The latest thing in train am
bulances, built by the London and
Northwestern railway at a cost of
,$35,000 for service in France, is
quite the most perfect of the kind
ever seen.
The train, whose carriage all
connect, so that on a straight
line one can look along 8jo feet
of corridor, is steam heated and
electric lighted throughout, while
every car is provided with electric
.ventilating fans. The two kit
chens, marvels of compact equip
ment, aroused much enthusiasm.
They will supply the wounded
men as soon as they are brought
on board with hot drinks and
soup, to be followed later with
delicious stews and more sub
stantial fare. The treatment room
has medical stores, a long table,
and all requisites for operations.
There are linen rooms, a phar
macy and a kit room for the offi
cers, who have a very comforta
ble mess room, matched by a sec
and mess room for the four army
nurses assigned to each train. The
staff consists of 42, including the
cooks—who have their own quar
ters—and the orderlies, who lodge
four in a compartment, and have
a long, cheerful dining car. Tanks
hi the roof supply the wards and
i kitchen with hundreds of gallons
[ of water.
The special feature of these
j trains is the separate ward for
infectious cases fitted to the brake
van. The arrangement of the
berths in the wards set aside for
lying down cases is also new. The
berths, which car. be raised like
those in an ordinary sleeping car,
are arranged in tiers of three, with
the advantage that 36 men can be
omfortably settled in each ward'
Vs in all the specially built trains,
these cars are loaded through
doors at the side instead ot
hrough the open windows, which
was the old style The two trains
recently finished are part of a fleet
I of 24 which carry British wound
ed from the •' o the base
hospitals and the ports in France

NUMBER OF MISSING VESSELS
LIKELY TO B£ MOtU TO
It is a regretable fact that, ow
ing to the conduct of the Ger
mans in torpedoing merchant
ships at sight, the number of trag
edies of “ships that never return'
is likely to be added to. One ol
the most recent of ship disappear
ances is that of the Waratah
which set out from port over sit
years ago, and has never been
heard of since. The Naromic left
Liverpool for New York on Feb
ruary ii, 1898, and was never seen
again. Some time afterwards,
ward, however, two of her life
boats were picked up, which bore
signs of men having been in them.
The rest was silence.
Another case is that of the In
| ^erda, which left Clyde on Au
! gust 14, 1904, for Kingstown, Ire
land. That was the last that was
WHAT WOULD YOU
DO IF --—
A charming young and some
what notorious adneer accosted
you on a country road as you wen
passing in your car alone, and
asked you to take her back to the
city, and while on the way anothei
car collided with you, and as :
result there was a smash up ana;
both your names got in the paper,
and you were superintendent of «
Sunday school?
You were cast away on a de
sert island with the most beauti
ful girl in the world, and there
was plenty of food and a perfect
climate and then, one afternoon
while you hauled down the dis
tress signal to mend it and the
young lady was asleep, you could
see, through the palms, with your
binoculars, a rescue ship with
your tall, angular, strong minded,
unsentimental wife standing on
the deck, and the ship was pass
ing the island ?
You were trying to break up a
cold by sitting in a vapor bath in
the kitchen with you feet in mus
tard water and a porous plaster
on your back, and your clothes
upstairs ,and your wife gone to
the neighbors for the evening,
and the maid having her night
out, and some neighbors should
walk merrily in and start for the
kitchen just as you excitedly
jumped up and tipped the bath
screen over and it caught fire in
the alcohol lamp?
While caledf away on a busi
ness trip, there should be a slight
railroad accident in which the bag
gage car was smashed, and the
railroad employes should try to
pick up your smashed suit case
with material from another suit
case which bore the same mono
gram, and you got home at last
all tired out, and your wife should
< unpack your suit case and find a
whole lot of things in it that no
gentlman ever wore?
You should meet an old college
friend in from the west and should
phone home that business kept
you in town, and about 9 o’clock,
after a very big and very wet din
ner, you and your friend should
breeze somewhat unsteadily into
a theater and sit down only to
find that you were seated next to
your wife, who came in with her
mother to see the show, and in
frying to introduce your friend
you should forget his name?
You were at a lodge meeting
and you were suddenly called for
loudly with the announcement
that Mr. Jones is wanted at home.,
V
It is twins!” and you should raise
at the name “Jones” and get half
way out before you tumbled to the
tact that other men are named
Jones, and you didn’t happen to
be married and every one in the
lodge knew it?

eastern waters. She called at
Hongkong for orders, and from
there was sent to Vladovostok—
a blockade port—with a cargo of
coal For a long time no farther
news was heard of her. Her si

was eventually posted as “miss

after her mysterious disappear

derelict condition at a remote spot
off the west coast of Japan. Xo
