Burgomaster of Vienna. "His Excellency General Field Marshal von Hindenburg Is daily in receipt of such a mass of requests from the school children of Vienna for his autograph that I am requested to inform Your Excellency that It Is a physical impossibility to comply with such requests. His Excellency asks me to call your attention to the fact that all such requests only place an added burden on the much overworked post office department, and they serve no purpose whatever.

He also directs me to request you to make known to the school children that the demands upon the time of His Excellency are go great and constant that he is in no position to comply with such requests for autographs, and, furthermore, has no inclination to do so."

Coover, George Buttroff, Joseph Etraley, Samuel Kauffman and Hoof. By United Prtst TOKIO. June Autocracy's forces in China apparently have triumphed and today it appears that the republic is practically destroyed. A division of China into two cations seems probable. A long struggle of militarism against constitutionalism may be expected to follow the present revolution.

Dr. W. W. Wllloughby, American constitutional advisor to tna former Chinese republic, now enroute home to the United States, thus summed up the Chinese situation today. "The revolution is most serious," he declared.

'The republic Is practically lost. I look for turmoil of long duration between militarism and constitutionalism. The present trend is strongly to a monarchy. The militarists absolutely control the situation now. And even if through a compromise a new government was established in the North of China, chaos would still continue throughout the Mercedes Iiu4.h Co.

"The militarists' object in the revolt is fourfold first, abolition of the present provisional constitution; second, retirement of LI Yuan Hung; A bright and unusual touch to the rather grim business of registration was lent yesterday afternoon by Miss Amelia Durbin, 717 North Sixth street, who personally distributed pink rose buds among the young men who enrolled at the headquarters of the Mt. Vernon Hook Ladder Company, 619 North Fourth, street, and at the paint shop of C. A. Slbbetts, 923 Capital street. Several dozen of the fragrant flowers were given out during the afternoon by Miss Durbin In token of her appreciation of the true spirit of patriotism shown toy those who faced tho registrars smilingly and unafraid.

Dunn and son William, of Lancaster, are paying a visit to the former's mother, Mrs. C. B. Wilbert. Mule Too Tough and Auto Only Now Needs Repairs Are cowards to blame? Is cowardice a nervous disease? Can a coward cure hjs cowardice? Should cowards be kept back or front?" SHOULD THET BE SENT FORWARD TO BE SHOT? Of men who stare at their mirrored faces while waiting ejection for service 6,000,000 will search their answering eyes for a look of half concealed fear.

They will do this with secret shame which in unwarranted. Every nan out of physical training is more or les a coward. More, rather than less. City, life, cramping occupation, causes beyond a man's control are to blame. Men.

courageous enough to admit a fear are not cowardly. For fear Is not a nervous disease, but a natural instinct. A child never taught to fear is afraid. Its primitive, hereditary fear of the dark is inherited through uncounted ages from tho time when all vegetarian animals got eaten during the night. The elf-eonfed coward bad one sure Corel ENLIST.

We know more of courage than of fear In war. The physical training of camps given a man confluence. When a recruit pots on fchokl bin state of mind changes. He Is no longer a clerk, or a grocer) he becomes like a child entering a new life. The old life fades away, the present grows nil important.

Physical energies are doubled by outdoor exercise, manual work, simple, strict mode of living. He no longer endures anxiety or trepidation. Patriotism flames up a supreme force. It becomes right and natural to sacrifice personal interests for life of country. True courage de-' velops.

To keep cowards- back of the front would be wanton cruelty. For those in the civil zone feel more fear than those in the war zone. Their sense of self-preservation is more acute, they lack the support of the crowd where every man thinks of one thing only WAR. "HTien ALL advance no one is afraid," testifies a clear-headed pollui "it Is only when nn officer orders, 'Every man for that soldiers feci fear." Biologists may contend that cowards be sent to the firing line killed off to relieve posterity of their infirmity. BUT THE FIRING LINE CURES FEAR.

I wish I might eay personally to every man now brooding over a secret shrinking from the grim realities of modern warfare, "Friend, only those who have never fought have a feeling of fear. The nearer the front, the greater the confidence. Men in the first trench know no fear." The terrific noise in advanced positions, the intense absorption in imperative duties, keeps the brain in a constant state of excitement. Superbly fit, every soldier feels nothing can withstand him each man has an inner convlcion HE will escape in Jury. "Where bullcti whirr we each flxa Inside like a bottle of champagne," a French soldier wrote me.

A soldier kills without panic, feeling that he must defend himself. NOTICE Dauphin Notes YORK, June 6. In a collision between an automobile and a mule Sunday on the road leading from Red Lion to Winterstown the machine was put out of business, while the mule, with only a few' scratches on his breast, went on about his business of being a mile. W. H.

Olp, of Red Lion, was driv ernment at Peking; fourth, a new parliament and a new constitution. "President LI Yuan Hung would retire if that action would benefit the country, but he considers that the masses of the Chinese people expect him to defend the democratic principles of the republic against the military dictatorship which Is sure to come with establishment of a regency.

Tr.tv.iivv rrrm I Five Cents Additional Charge For Special Deliveries of Ice IN most lines of business the cost of delivery is small in proportion to the gross amount of the business, so that few merchants need to give it serious consideration. But in the ice business the delivery expense is the most important feature.

Special Deliveries of Ice in many instances cost considerable more than the cost of the ice. In order to keep the expenses of doing business this year down to a minimum, spe-" cial deliveries of ice will cost 5c in addition to the regular price. A 10c piece of ice by special delivery will cost 15c A 50-pound piece will cost five cents more than the regular price, etc While the small additional sum of five cents for this special service may seem insignificant. yet, when the extra work is spread over an entire season, this small charge will help considerably to reduce in the aggregate the cost of doing Ice Business and help us to maintain present retail prices.
