BRITISH PENSION SYSTEM.
:Provides for War Victims According
to Their Civil Station.
Great Britain is arranging a syetern
of pensions for men broken in the
iwar and for the dependents of men
who have fallen in the war. The
scheme is not yet complete because,
owing to the peculiar composition of
the British armies—more than five
millions were raised by voluntary en-
listment—the adjustment of a scale
of pensions that shall be reasonable
and fair to the varying degrees of
sacrifice which men belonging to
widely differing degrees of social sta.a
tion made when they joined the col-
ors is a complex business.
The first difficulty arose when a
proposal for a flat rate pension was
under consideration. A general fiat
rate was found impracticable. Five
dollars a week in the case of an agri-
cultural laborer would have been more
than a peace -time wage, but for in-
numerable other cases it would have
been wholly inadequate. So a decision
was made in favor of a low flat rate,
to be supplemented according to vary-
ing necessities.
The low flat rate provides for a
widow without children from 2.50 to
$3 a week at the age of 35 and ra-
ther lass than $4 at 45. There are
increased allowances for widows with
children ranging up to a total of
$5.40 for a widow with four children
and more if the mother is over 35.
For motherless children the allow-
ance is $1.20 a week. A man who is
totally disabled will receive $6 a
week, with more than 50 cents for
each child, and a man partly dis-
abled such an amount as with the
wages which he may be deemed cap-
able of earning will amount to $6 a
week. A generous interpretation is
to be placed on the term "disable-
ment." A man in a condition of dis-
ease which has been aggravated by
war service will get four-fifths of the
disability pension.
For officers and their dependents
there are different scales, and one
new feature is that the widows of
Lieutenants and Sub -Lieutenants will
get the rates hitherto allotted to the
widows of Captains. The ratesvary
from $250 to $500 per annum, with
rates for children ranging from $80
to $112. In all cases where an of-
ficer was killed in action or died of
wounds in the war the widow also
gets a gratuity in addition to the
pension. Officers up to the rank of
Captain totally disabled will receive
pensions of $750 a year for all be-
low fifteen years' service, and $50 ad-
ditional a year for each year of ser-
vice in excess of fourteen, up to a
maximum of $1,250. Higher ranksffi
get higher rates. Pensions for o-
cers partly disabled are proportioned
according to the degree to which
earning power is impaired. In cases
where the impairment is only slight
the officer may receive a gratuity up
to $2,500 in lieu of a pension.
An Odd Sequel to a Heroic Defence
By a Few French
Soldiers.
This is not primarily a story of
murder. ,It is rather the story of the
discovery , of that murder, of the
amassing. of proof against the mur-
derer, of the proof of that old adage
that "murder will out." There is
something about blood guiltiness, it
seems, that forces confession, writes
Herbert Corey from Gerbervillers,
France.
Two years ago the Germans burned
Gerbervillers. The world knows the
story. Sixty chausseurs with a pair
of machine guns held up a German
army at the crossing of the little
river that runs through this rural
village. The German artillery had
not come up, by which the sixty
might have been blown away. The
river was in flood and could not be
forded. No army can charge down
a narrow lane toward machine guns
while the guns have cartridges and
their men have marrow. It cannot
be done.
So that the Germans burned the
town when the sixty chausseure
finally ran short of cartridges and
went quietly away. The Germans
also led fifteen old men out into a
pasture field and blinded their eyes
and shot them down in groups of
five. Many other things were done
for Dee policy of terrorization was
being tried out. The Germans still
believed that war could be made so
terrible that France would quit fight-
ing—being a fresh proof of the Ger-
man inability to understand the psy-
chology of another people. The towns-
people who remained during this,
reign of terror were hysterical with
fright, for the most part. It was only
later they began to piece together
from each other's story a comprehen-
sive idea of what had happened.
"But the baker," they asked.
"Where is the baker?"
The baker had disappeared. No
one knew what had become of him.
His house had been burned down and
had fallen in a mass of calcined brick
and stone upon his baking ovens.
Somehow, no one knew how --the
story could not be traced—the tale
grew that the baker had been thrust
into one of his ovens and burned
alive by the soldiers. No one had
seen it. -
Burned Him Alive.
A Wife's Wit.
"I've got an awfully witty wife,"
boasts Solomon Beach. "I get most
of my good stuff from her, to tell you
the truth. Sometimes, though, her
wit is a bit too sharp for comfort.
Now, the other evening I came home
feeling sort of mean. I had a corn
that was rising thunder with me, and
I wasn't in the best of humor. Well,
I came limping up the walk and my
wife stood at the door, eyeing me
suspiciously.
"What makes you walk so funny?"
she said.
"Corn!' 'I snapped, grduehily.
"Oh," she said, turning away. "I
thought maybe it was lye!"

No one could be found who had
been told this grisly thing by a Ger-
man. But the tale was there. It
would not be forgotten.
"Let us search his ovens," the vil-
lagers have asked Sister Julie, that
nun who has more courage than an
army corps, and who drew her six
trembling sister nuns in line behind
her to oppose a German army, and
who opposed it successfully. Nothing
I appeals more quickly to the Germans
than that sort of courage. But Sis-
ter Julie pooh-poohed the idea.
"Who heard the story first?" she
asked. "Give me some proof there is
truth in this story before we go dig-
ging in a pile of dust ruins. There
are more important things to do.
Who is to feed my old people and
my little ones while you please your-
self by idly digging about in dusty
ruins?"
The story would not die. It had
an amazing vitality. Of all the stor-
ies of murder in Gerbervillers this
one seemed the most enduring and
the most fragile. It rested upon not
an atom of proof, but every one be-
lieved it except hard-headed Sister
Julie and her six nuns, who devoutly
believe what Sister Julie believes and
no more. This week a soldier whose
home is at Gerbervillers came back
on permission. It was his first per-
mission during the war. For two
years he had only known that hit
home town had been stamped out of
existence. e
"And they say," his townspeople
wound up their narrative of sack
and flames, "that the Germans burn-
ed the baker alive."
"I know all about the baker," was
the soldier's surprising answer.
"They burned him in his upper oven.
He screamed as they thrust him in."
Last week on the Somme the
French army took many thousand
prisoners. This .Gerbervillers man
was one of those who was set to
guard them, with others of the Ger-
bervillers company.

OUR KEEN -EYED "KITES."
How They Are Utilized With 'the Brit-
ish Army at the Front.
"Above the lines, looking towards
the German trenches, was a great
cluster of kite -balloons," wrote a
famous war correspondent, in describ-
ing the beginning of the great Brit-
ish "push.' -
"They were poised very high, held
steady by the air -pockets on the ropes
of the baskets where the artillery ob-
servers sit. I counted seventeen of
them, the largest group that has ever
been seen along our front.
"Sausages" they call these kite -bal-
loons in the Army, the name coming
from the odd, sausage -like appear-
ance the craft have in the air.
They have one great advantage
over the ordinary, old-fashioned bal-
loon; not only can they be held cap-
tive in a stronger wind than an or-
dinary balloon, but they are also much
steadier in the air, thus rendering the
position of those "up" for purposes of
observation, etc., more secure, com-
fortable, and effective.
Instead of being round in shape,
they are elongated, and the part
known as the "kite" is a kind of half -
open attachment at one end. This
acts to the main balloon much as a
tail does to a kite, catching the wind
and steadying the balloon. A kite -
balloon appears to be reared up on
one end, as if the ballonet were
weighted and dragging the rest of
the vessel almost perpendicular.
These observation balloons are held
captive by means of a strong wire
cable. The cable is held and paid out
by an engine stationed on ,the ground.
In a light wind a balloon may even
be "anchored" to a motor vehicle.

GerMans,Confessed.
One of the Germans examined his
regimental insignia with interest. The
German looked at it and turned away,
and Came back and looked at it and
turned, and finally Came back again.
"Your regiment," said he, "was
raised around Gerbervillers?"
The French soldier asked sonic
questions. The German said that he
and others of the prisoners had been
present at the buraing of Gerber -
"If my officer would let me, I
would slip my bayonet through your
middle," said the French soldier, grit -
thug his teeth.
"You would be right," said the Ger2
Man soldier. "We did awful things
there. I did none of them. I kept
my hands clean. But the others did
them. It was an order."
They talked off and on for three
days. The German seemed to have
something on his mind. He would
lead up to the subject and then shy
away from it. At last he bolted it.
He could resist no more. The sen-
tence came from him as though he
could not close his teeth on it.
"We burned the baker in his upper
Oven," said he.. "He shrieked as we
thrust him in."
The French eoldiee got all the
names and all the details from the
German. Then be came home to Ger-
bervillers on permission, and after
everything else had been talked over,

The summer months are the most

of that season, which are cholera in-

realizes he is ill. The mother must
be on her, guard to prevent these
troubles, or if they do come on sud-
denly to cure them. No other medi-

CHINA'S GRAND CANAL.
Effort to Restore Traffic on Interior
Water Route.
China is reported to be -considering
the restoration of the old meal sys-
tem, of which there were at one time
60,000 miles within the empire. Cen-
turies before the Christian era the
great rivers of China were diverted
from their natural courses, the wa-
ters of one turned into another's bed
and the waterways carried along in
the diaection of desired traffic.
The ancient Grand Canal extends
from Hangchou to Tientsin, travers-
ing the provinces of Chekiang, Kiang- I
su, Shangtung and Chili, the total
length of the canal being about 850
miles, says the Christian Herald.
China is in desperate need of trans-
portation, and it has been estimated
by engineers that the canal system
can be restored at a less cost than
that which would be involved in the
building of the necessary railways.
With the canals again in operation
the railway building can go on at
greater leisure.

Sam-Buk has been proved
by thousands to be the 'best oint-
ment obtainable for skin ailments
and injuries, -because it cures when
other treatments fall, and because
it's cures are permanent, You take
no chances when you buy ZamBuk.

imitated! Proof of Zain-Buk's su-
.periOrity is provided by the great
number of imitations and substi-
tutes which have been put on the
market. Don't be deceived, how-
ever, by anything represented as
"just as good." There is nothing
