Dealing with Army Deserters.

Officers of the regular army have
made strong complaint of the frequency
with which enlisted men desert. This
is a not uncommon feature of military
experience in time Of peace. Soldiers
weary Of the mOnOtOny and routine at
the posts where they are stationed and
frequently take French leave" APP
parently some one has been giving the
mattes. pretty close study, says the
Troy IN. " Times, for a scheme
has been suggested which promises to
lessen the number of dea %ertions, or az
least the number Of court-martials for
desertion. A change IS 20 be made in
the manner of recruiting For the army.
It las been noted that the largest per-
centaGe Of assertions is among very
young recruits. They quickly discover
that many Of their ~preconceived notions
Of a soldiers life are erroneous, and &C.
cOrdingly take themselves off without
ceremony. The new plan is to receive
-he recruits and drill them for several
weeks, subiecting them to all the re-
"iAAs AANy nav ANhoo
giving them uniforms Oh swearing them
in. In this manner they will get a
taste of the experience that awaits
them, INC if they conclude that they do
not like it they may run away AS they
have not taken the oath and do not sp-
pear on the army rolls, they cannon be
called to account and contaminated.
The army simply drops them M puts
in their places men who are more re-
liable. The system involves no par
ticular harm when the country is at
peace. for in reality the army is better
off without men who would be pretty
certain to desert if they lac a chance.
In wal time it would be different. But
in war time the matter generally settles
itself. The men who then enlist dc so
because they want to fight, not for the
purpose of deserving as soon as an op-
Iortunity offers.

Will BE Watched With Interest By
Naval Officers of the World.

Washington, april 1G.-In discuss
ing the war situation in the event of
the destruction of the Japanese fleet
by the Russians, naval and army Of
fcers lay stress upon the fact that
such an outcome would not only en-
tirely change the situation and make it
more favorable to Russia, but they
attach great Importance to the i'm
pending battle between the hostile
fleets now about to engage in combat.
Capt. Samuel w. B.. Diehl, the Judge
advocate Of the navy, in discussing the
battle, which is likely to be begun at
any moment, said:
ct will be a great battle, and one
tnat will be watched with great IN
terest by naval officials of the whole
world. 1t would be worse than fool
ish to predict how the battle will be
fought, or what will be the outcome.
Those near the scene Of the prospec-
tive operations can know nothing
about the Strength of the respective
fleets. All depends upon the vessels
of the c~ontending fleets.
THE Japanese are great s~trategists.
and | do not believe they will en-
gage the Russians far from the coast
of Japan, if it is possible to bring on
the battle near a Japanese base. |
imagine the Russians will force the
fighting, as the. information we have
indicates that their feet is much
stronger than the Japanese.
cit is certain that Admiral Roiest-
vensky is not afraid Of a fight, because
he has gone to the China sea, where he
is likely to meet the enemy. Such con-
duct on the part of a commander al
ways pleases naval officers and chal-
lenges their admiration"

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW he GOT RID OF HISOBsTINATH
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
ar. Jones Tells of the Way by Which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.


When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all of them good. one of
them a specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures Of rheumatism.
The rheumatism hat had been DOR
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice in February,
1901. From that time on for a period
of more than three years he was a con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds Of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: 81 should think he
would give it up and saw his money"
Of his condition at this time, Mr.
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but i'll time it ap-
peared i'll every muscle of my body. I
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that a cure might
yet be found was a friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought a box Of them iii Sep
TENDER, 1904. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
"When 1 was OH the third box" says
Mr.. Jones, "I could realize q change for
the better. 1 felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. l kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
I am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what [ took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

Our Money in Canada.

canadians are going to retallate on
the people Of the United States" said
a traveller from the dominion, reports
the Washington Star, lin the matter
of the circulating medium. For years
past United States silver and paper
money, especially the former, have
circulated freely and to a large ex-
tent in Canada, and the same is true,
10 a smaller extent, however, with re-
spect to Canadian money in the bor-
der states, Canadians naturally pre-
fer their w money for business puT-
poses, but up to this time lave had NO
aversion to United States currency.
Recent experiences Of many Of them
In this country, especially those who
visited the Louisiana Purchase expo
sItl0n, nave caused a decided change
OF sentiment. They found that Cana
dian money is regarded with suspicion,
generally refused, and if accepted at all,
a heavy discount is charged. The Wis
TORS national pride is assailed in a
very vulnerable spot-his pocket-and
on his return to Canada he generally
avoids American money whenever pos
sible, Last summer thousands of Jana
dian business men and women visited
the st. Louis fair. To most of them
it never occurred that they should
change their money. They used so
mUch American currency at home that
they naturally supposed their own good
Canadian bills would be welcome I'M
der the stars and stripes. But they
were not, and the refusal of the peO-
PIE at St. Louis and other cities to
accept the dominion cash, together with
the greed of the money changers, caused
inconvenience and loss. When these
people got back to Canada they deter
mined to soak the i~ntTuding United
States currency whenever and wherever
they found it. The feeling gained
strength from the business and bank
ing, as we'll as from an emotional stand
point. AS a result strong efforts are
being made to procure legislation to
exclude the undesirable money, SO that
the field may be left clear to the Cana
dian banks n government"

trance. He has recovered from it.
Comrade Ambrose represents the

returns any alderman except a So
cialist. 1t can't be done with an
honest vote.
The insult to the working class
through its one representative in
the city council-the calling him a
vain and empty creature" the
twitting him with being charged
with a responsibility, and clothed
with a power that nature never in
tended" is what the working class
can expect whenever one of their
number dares to beard the lion OF
capitalism in its political den, and
comes out hat-footed on working
class program of sweeping away all
graft and grafters by sweeping away
the system which makes them, and
not by putting idiotic little patches
on a garment reeking with filth and
rotten with desease.
Yes, it is certainly too bad that a

been rented opposite Elks' hall. II
was well lighted, seated and heated.
A large sign was placed across the
entrance bearing the legend, So
cialist Meetings Every Night This
Week" A large phonograph enter
tanned the crowd before the speak
ing commenced. Comrade Meyer
of Butte had stereoptican machine
on hand, and a succession Of views
was thrown on the canvas showing
events in the Philippine war, and
also a number of advertisements
from merchants disposed to help the
socialist movement. Comrade Baur
acted as chairman. Mrs. Hazlett
spoke on Socialism and Revolu-

struggle now going on in Russia,
showed its historical significance,
and the attitude of international So
socialism toward the desperate con-
test being waged there by the work

CAPITALIST ATTACKS
ON SOCIALISM
CONTINUED from page J.

capitalist press must see that moth
ing dealing fairly with socialism ever
wanders into its columns.
The Independent is moved to
convulsions over the setting aside
by the International Socialist party
of January ~ as an anniversary of
the proletarian revolution, and is
sues much superfluous advice to the
socialists as to how to run their
party. The old ignorant and time
hoaored confusion of socialists and
anarchists is made. A mere ours
ory referring to a dictionary would
dispel this illusion for ary one who
wanted to know the facts. 1t is
needless to say that the Socialist
party is not run on the advice of
capitalists.
The News will issue a special edi-
ton on January ~, devoted to the
revolution. 1t will contain articles
from the pens of our ablest Ameri-
can socialists, 1t will breath the
spirit of protest and revolt against
the capitalist system of exploitation,
and robbery of the working man,
and all governments established by
that system. And what is more to
the point, this spirit will reflect the
will and desire of all American So
cialists, and the ten millions of the
International movement.
