NEW YORK LETTER.
V'V
(Special ' Correspondent of The Dis
4 ' patch).
New York, . ApriL . 17. Some little
guy.
With a bulging forehead.
Receding chin. ..
And tortoise glasses. ,
And Camouflaged brain.
Has invented a new jag.
Made out of coal-tar. ,
All you have to do.
Is smear a bunch of it.
Into a brazier.
Cook out a dose of joy juice.
Cuddle up in a little bunk.
Inhale the magic fumes.
And be .translated.
Into the realms.
Of Oriental houris.
And there are no. '
"Next morning" effects.
And it does away.
With spending a week's pay.
Dining a chorus girl.
Salving the gareon.
Bribing the maitre d'hotel.
Dodging the wife.
Buying your hat back again.
From the Count at the portcullis.
Scrapping with the taxi magnate.
And things like that.
The new jag is known.
As benzyle bensolate.
And benzyle boozeries.
Will soon spring up.
All over Broadway.
A man can . go out.
And get .enough of it.
To make him pay hia rent.
Or buy his wife a hat.
Or something else.
Equally foolish.
And all it costs.
Is two cents.
The price of a stamp.
Before tne war.
I'm going to take.
Half, of my day's pay.
And buy a double dose.
And then go down.
And take a running jump.
At the fellow who sold me.
One of those little.
Trick cigar lighters.
And ki,ck him in the wishbone.
I've been laying for him.r
For six months.
But I never could.
Get up enough courage.
He looks rough.
SACRED ROAD AS
WAR MEMORIAL
Parsi, April 17. Already the
French Government has decided on a
memorial that will worthily represent
to the ages to come the grandeur and
the horror of the present world-war.
It is to take the form of a "sacred
road" stretching four hundred miles,
from the coast of Flanders to far
Alsace, along the line on which for
three years and more the contending
hosts ThaW"faced each- other in grim
battle. . . . . ss
Planted on each side with forest
trees, the memorial road is to grow
year by year, century- - by r century,
into an undying and perpetual monu
ment which Nature herself shall
raise in everlasting commemoration
of the war.
In the woods at either side the
countless heroes who have given up
their lives for "humanity will sleep
their last sleep in graves kept beauti
ful hands. Thus within this long and
narrow woodland belt will be pre
served the whole majesty, the whble
terror, the sacrifice, and abomination
of war as a memorial and a lesson to
the generations to come.
Already active preparations are
being made for the commencement
of the scheme. By direction of the
French government, aided by the co
operation of patriotic societies and in
dividuals, a million young trees have
been collected, and when peace at
last comes to the world, this sacred
road will spring puickly into being.

Mince, .Pumpkin or Berry, They Were AH Strong Favorites
With This Pevotee Of The Great American Dessert. But,
When He Ate Pie Things Immediately Began To Happen.
" There; ar .few men who will not
admit an Irresistible 'weakness for
pie. It begins in childhood, when
the stomach and digestion are in per
fect working order and, In some
cases, this fondness for pie grows
stronger in later years, when the di
gestive apparatus has grown weaker
and trouble begins. S. W. Greenway,
a clerk at the Gierach Hotel. Ral
eigh, has conquered all the difficul
ties of pie eating and tells how he ac
complished it.
"I will frankly admit that I am not
happy when you deprive me of pie,
but - for two years we have been
strangers. My stomach got into such
a condition that merely looking at a
piece of pie would sicken me and
cause my stomach to turn, flip-flops.
That was not only true of pie, but
nearly everything else In the food
line had about the same effect and my
condition became so "bad that I al
