They made prac-tically the same jump, and when I landed in the afternoon in Moscow In a Commerlcal Plane, single motor, I was the only passenger, and the air was full of planes training, and we had to circle the field several times before we got the signal to land. Now that was five years ago. I bet these Boys saw many a Plane In Russia. They have Aviation Societys over there that are maintained by the mem-I" bers, not the Government. They all throw In a small sum each and that goes to buy planes and fields and training flyers. Its a patriotic thing like we donate to our Red Cross or some other Charity.

Hagart "The Unknown Porter" Nearly every combatant nation; In the- World war has erected a! monument to Its Unknown Soldier and a British historian (Capt B. U. Uddell. Uart) has suggested that a "statue In Whitehall to the Unknown I'orter Is overdue." For it Is easy to build up a chain of evidence that will that this unknown I'orter won the first Bat-tle of the Marne, brought about, the downfall of the (Herman war plan and changed history. It all came about when a British, railway porter with a vivid Imag-ination and no more evidence to, back up his theory than the fact that the occupants of a troop train through England one night Spoke an unfamiliar language started the rumor that a Russian expedition-ary force was coming to the west-ern front to help crush the Ger-mans by a flank attack through Belgium. At a matter of fact the troops which the porter heard talk-ing were Scotch and the language they spoke was Gaelic, but after the porter had spoken of his dis-covery, that busy old lady. Dame i , Rumor, did the rest Also the fertile brain of Win-ston Churchill was very busy. He had succeeded in having a brigade of British marines under Brigadier General Aston sent to Ostend and ordered that this move be given ' the fullest publicity. They stayed ashore only a few days, but they made themselves very much In evidence. . The final result was that the Germans became very nervous at a moment when a determined push would have won through to Paris. From the German supreme com-- mand came Colonel Hentscn to me "threatened" German flank army with the news that "The EngllBh are disembarking fresh troops con-tinuously on the Belgian coast. There are reports of a Russian ex-peditionary force In the same parts. A withdrawal Is becoming inevita-ble." Gradually in the mind of the supreme command those 8,000 ma-rines grew Into 40.000 and the Rus-sians numbered 80.000. So the with-drawal started, gathered momen-tum and speed and the allies won the battle of the Marne. The "Fast MaiT to Paris Isolated instances have been noted in recent months where let-ters mailed during the war-tor- n days of more than a dozen years ;. ago are only now reaching their destinations. Such cases usually may be explained by shifting ad-dresses with which the mail has difficulty In catching op or for some other logical reason. Delays during the war, however, were often not so easily excused as , witness the correspondence re-ceived in Paris from a soldier situ-ated not more than 100 kilos away. lie wrote: "The attached envelope post- - , marked Paris. April 21. was re-ceived by me today. May L "It contained a letter dated April 21 which acknowledged receipt on April 19 of my letter dated April 10. "While I can readily understand the difficulty of transportation be-tween here and that city of delight 1 have found It more difficult to get there than to get away. "The fact that an efficient postal service can deliver a letter In nine days in a place I have been unable to reach In three months should, of course, not be overlooked and is fully appreciated. "I cannot, however, understand why it should require an extra day In returning,. Only nine days to go, but ten days to come back. I sug-gest an investigation." ' Army records foil to reveal It his suggestion was complied with. , . "When Will the War End?" Who wrote it or where It came from, nobody knows.

Of course, I don't know what he did in there, but I have an idea that when that trapper came back he didn't find any food fit to eat there. Anyway, the next day he took his canoe and went away, and I did not see him again until the day before I left when he came back with a lot more wings, xuou, I guess.

PETERknow how full of curiosity be is and how dearly he loves a story. He had listened quite breathlessly while Honker the Goose told how Glutton the Wol-verine had found all the traps of the trapper up there In the Far North where Honker was spending the summer. "What did the trap-per do when he found that all his traps had been pulled out in plain voice Of course, I don't know what he said, but 1 can guess. He went from one trap to another, and the farther he got the angrier he grew. But getting angry didn't do him any good. It never does any one any good. So at last he stopped getting angry. Anyway, he stopped showing his anger, and went to work to set the traps over again and again, and this time he took more care than ever to set them. Then he got a piece of meat and around U he hid a lot of stout traps. I guess that was Just for Glutton. I suppose he thought that if Glut-- . ton found one there he would think that that was all and might step! into one Of the others while he was eating the meat "I Just hung around where 1 could watch. The very next day along came Glutton. My, but that fellow is smart I I Just had to laugh. The first thing he did was to hunt for a trap. When he found It he pulled It out. Then what do you think he did?" "Gobbled up that meat and stepped in one of the other traps and was caught I" cried Peter ex-citedly, ' - v, "Nothing of the kind," replied Honker. "He didn't even look at that meat He went right on hunt-ing Jor traps until he had found every one. It was Just as if he had seen that hunter set those traps, but he hadn't When he had found the last one he Just walked over to that piece of meat and ate every scrap of It. Then he went on pull-ing out the traps which had been set for other little people just as before, and when he had eaten so much that he couldn't eat another mouthful he Just spoiled the rest of the baits so that no one else would eat them. "When that trapper found that Glutton had. played that trick on him again he didn't set his traps He Went on Hunting for Traps Un-til He Had Found Every One. sight and all the bait taken?" asked Peter eagerly.
