There was no dust out there; only

sparks.
But 11
glinting,
was beautiful beyond words to describe. We spun along at fifty miles
an hour with a cool, clean breeze In
our faces Then just over a slight rise
in the sparkling plain I saw my first
mirage. It was impossible to believe
it was a mirage and not really the
beautiful lake that it seemed a lake
and
dotted with wooded Islands
fringed In places with deep green forests.
I have seen mirages in other deserts
In other lands, but I have never seen
anything like the Mesopotamlan mirage. We drove straight on and It
came so close that I was sure I could
see a ripple on Its surface. Then suddenly It went away off, and where It
had been our skldproof tires were humming on the
sand and I
sow that the wooded Islands had been
created out of nothing but patches of
camel thorn and that the trees of the
forests were tufts of dry grass not
more than six inches high.
Off on the far horizon a camel caravan was swinging slowly along and
the camels looked like some mammoth
prehistoric beasts, while In another
direction what we took to be camels
turned out to be a string of diminutive
donkeys under pack saddles laden with
bales of the desert grass roots that the
Arabs use for fuel.
The mirage has played an interesting part in the Mesopotamlan campaigns. In some places It Is practically continuous the year round, and it
adds greatly to the difficulties of an
army in action. It is seldom mistaken
for anything but what it Is, of course,
but It does curious things to distance
and to objects both animate and Inanimate. Incidentally It renders the accurate adjustment of gun ranges almost altogether impossible.
One of the most curious Incidents of
the whole war happened In connection
with a mirage and on the very spot
over which I drove that first day out
In the desert.
The battle of Shalba was one of the
hardest-fough- t
battles In the whole
Mespot campaign and victory for a
while was anybody's. It was going
very badly for the British, their losses
being heavier than they could stand
for long. And though the Turks were
in overwhelmingly superior numbers
it was going very badly for them as
well.
This the British officer commanding did not realize and he was
just on the pqlnt of giving an order for
retirement which would have been
fatal to the British in Mesopotamia
when to his astonishment he discovered that the Turks were In full retreat! What a moment !
The desert was full of mirage and'

In a tractor had proved profitable.
These data were obtained In the summer and fall of 1917, and In the spring
of 1918 on representative Illinois farms
by specialists of the United States department of agriculture, in order to
determine just what conditions Justified the purchase of a tractor In that
section. Experienced tractor owners
who made reports stated that tractors
will prove profitable on most cormbelt
farms of 180 acres or more, while in
their opinion they should not be expected to do so on farms of much less
than 180 acres. The report of the Investigators, published as Farmers'
Bulletin 903, states that while the figures were obtained in only, one state,
they are applicable throughout the corn
belt and that the prospective tractor
purchaser may reasonably count upon
equaling the average performances reported In the study.

Smith seems to be developing a very
ardent band of Americanism among
the island people, who are known as
Chamorros and have a strong admixture of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the celebration of Washington's birthday In
Guam, to which the people flocked
from all parts of the Island, coming"
by luunch, owing to the absence of
any Island highway system. The pro
ceeds of the various enterprises,
amounting to $1,370.55, were donated
to the Red Orosu, and we gather that
the program of amusement was purely
American. For Instance, the "hot dog"
stand realized $108.94; Butler's soda,
$158.50; knock the cat down, $112.07;
the moving picture show, $75.90; the
Jitney dance, $45.69 ; wheel of fortune,

the Red Cross received $1,500, and
subscriptions were given for $50,000
In Liberty bonds.
eMore than this, the Island militia
had Its first parade. Some time ago
Governor Smith put Into effect a universal military training law at the request of the people, this being the
first portion of American territory in
which such a law has been, made effective. There are 1,000 militiamen,
the government supplying guns and
ammunition and the regular khaki uniform of the United States army. Seven
per cent of 'Guam's population Is In
the militia, at which rate, If we of the
mainland kept up with the Chumorros,
we should have an army of 7,000,000.
The flags and floats of the parade Induced a tremendous enthusiasm In the
populace.

Officer Once Stable Boy.
We have ceased to be surprised at
the amazing social upheaval brought
about by the war, but the shock which
a gentleman received recently at a very
exclusive club of which he Is a member can be easily understood. On the
staircase he was hulled by a resplendent young officer of the guards attired
In one of those gray coats whose color
and cut are the envy of all "subs."
Not recognizing the young officer, there
was a pause, whereupon the soldier
said : "I'm afraid you've forgotten me.
My name Is

The gentleman
still failed to Identify the officer. "I'm
of Newark," added the guardsman. Whereupon the astounded gentleman recognized the grownup boy
who five years ago had saddled his
horse at a hunting box he visited.

and finally been transferred to a guard

clean, sober, willing and determined
to do their part, will be ready to
leave for the battle field at least a
whole month, and often more, earlier than others not so fit.
This having been demonstrated,
Uncle Sam has undertaken a plan to
educate all selective service men so
they will be better soldiers and better men when it comes their time
to be called to the colors.
With this in view, the local draft
board has just been notified, through
a leaflet from the Provost Marshal
General at Washington, of a method
for bringing personal instruction to
each man by means of a local board
of instruction, to be appointed by the
draft board.
These boards of instruction are to
be composed of thoroughly patriotic
and capable citizens of each community. It is intended that they
shall do more than instruct. For instance, the members of the instruction boards ,will endeavor to ascertain and clear up all the perplexities
that may beset the registrant, and
to be of practical assistance to him
in every way.
The first meeting of registrants
for instruction, the leaflet suggests,
might well be at the time of the
medical examination.
The registrants may be assembled in small
groups for personal interviews, it is
suggested, and encouraging suggestions made to them as to the person- al value of military training and of
outdoor life, the chances for promotion, the aid and friendly support of
the Red Cross, the .Army Knights
of Columbus,, the Y. M. C' A., the
Hebrew Welfare Board, and the Com- mission on Training Camp activities.
It Is also planned to conduct preliminary military drill to familiarize
the men with its first principles. It
has been found that this work actual- ly places the men a month
or so
ahead in capacity to become efficient
soldiers, and of course the well drilled man has a much better opportunity of obtaining quick promotion than
the man who has to begin at the beginning and learn everything after
he enters the service.
The government is encouraging
draft registrants wherever possible
to enter local militia reserve organizations in their communities for
drill.
