CHANCE TO ENTER
 CIVIL SERVICE
GREECE'S MOST MODERN SHIP BADLY DAMAGED BY TURKS
 OFF THE DARDANELLES.
Turkish Fleet Suffers No Damage Breakdown of Negotiations
 Likely.

London, Dec. 16.-According to the Daily Telegraph's Constantinople cor- respondent, the naval action off the Dardanelles resulted ill the Turkish favor. Greece's largest and most modern warship, the armored cruiser Diordios Azioroff. was hit by four shells and badly damaged The star board guns were quickly silenced and the rest of the Greek fleet were too. The battle continued against the Averoff but later this vessel retired in the direction of Tireaus. The Turkish fleet suffered no damage according to the Telegraph.
 Negotiations May Be Of.
 London, Dec. 16.-The Times says: Unfortunately while the proceedings at St. James Palace were marked by great cordiality telegrams from vari- ous capitals indicate the fear that the Greeks are not likely to consent to concessions such as the allies could accept and a breakdown of the ne- gotiations is more probable than not. Desperate Naval Battle. London, Dec 16.-The most desper- ate naval battle of the Balkan war was reported today as having been 
 fought off the Island of Tenedos, out side the Dardanelles, in a dispatch from Constantinople. The dispatch stated that the Greeks lost one cruis- CT and two torpedo boats and the Turks one cruiser and one destroyer. Only Slight Engagement.
 London, Dec. 16.-A dispatch to the Central News from the Athens states that today the etTurkish fleet proceeded from the nardanelles to certain dis tance from Sid El Bahr where brisk engagement occurred. The Greek fleet, including the warship Dveroff, return ed the enemy's fire for an hour and subsequently the Turkish fleet with drew to seek protection of the fort. From here three Turkish destroyers withdrew to the Dardanelles on the approach of the Greek fleet.

is THIS AMERICANA

How the Catholic potentates love the
public schools Attending them may
send the little one to eternal punish
ment according to a bishop. The
archbishop of Cincinnati in letter to
clergy and church members says;
"As the obligation of sending children
to the Catholic schools is very impor-
tant, it follows that failing to comply
with it, being a mortal sin, is matter
for confession. Parents therefore who
deliberately omit to accuse themselves
of this sin do not make an entire con
fession, and consequently receive the
sacrament of penance sacrilegiously
"The foregoing regulations hold good
also in the case of guardians. Children
who, by importuning their parents, 60
to non Catholic schools, should not be
absolved nor allowed to receive holy
communion unless they promise to ask
their parents to allow them to return
to the Catholic school,"
How interesting relics of medieval
times are, yet they sometimes are IN
the way! They are all right in mu-
scum, but not in a busy American home
where the open mind and search for
knowledge is not oppressed by the threat
of an old man living and thinking as
they did in the long ago.-Hope.

Away back east, where socialists are
thick as fleas. there is an editor who is
strongly anti-socialist simply because
some of the ranker fanatical socialists
have jumped on him with demands that
are senseless and unreasonable. This
editor for many years was a practicing
physician, but rently took charge of a
little print shop, and is doing his darnd-
est to suuech the socialist party in his
section-right at the heart of the Ap.
peaPs stronghold, in Crawford county,
Kansas. | received a copy of his paper,
The Arcadia tKansas) Sunlight, and in
it he scored an editorial appearing in
nv paper. The Weekly Searchlight. In
reply, I sent him letter, in which |
stated a few of the things in which we
socialists believe, without using any of
the rough. uncouth language customarily
addressed to him.
Nv letter was long one, but he gave
it space in his paper, using practically
all of the first page for it and his reply.
He agrees with the doctrines of social
ism in his editorial utterances, but re-
fuses to be bulldozed into joining him
self with the Haywood clan, because he
can see no reason for direct, militant
acJlOn. ndJs Ill uSJdll, 10 lclhy hiS OhiJ
objection to the socialist party. l am
sending him copy of Allen Benson's
Socialism Made Plain" which he has
promised to read impartially.
do not wish to konck, but | am firm
~ convinced that the only methods that
may profitably be employed with great
mass of intelligent people to gain their
support is a peaceable, common-sense
talk. for with them the mention of any
thing savoring of industrial worker
ism-is as a red rag to bull. 1t mad
dens them, and gains no respect.
As Charles Edward Russell says,
every normal man is a socialist" and
it needs only to be presented to him
right in order to get hearing
Comrades, I am making an appeal to
you to mix a little sense in with your
Trades against the system. Post your
selves thoroughly on the plans and prin-
ciples of the party, then you may go
ahead with your work of propagation
without fear of being stumped or of re-
ceiving a figurative black eye.
To breach the subject of socialism to
a man. to get him interested, and then
be unable to answer his questions is
worse than to leave him alone.
Try it on the next man you wish to
convert, and see if a little application OF
the law of kindness will not make him
socialist quicker than a stick of dyna-
mite with the fuse lighted would make
him an angel Try it That's all.

would shame the apocalyptic whore OF
Babylon. He holds at naught the mis-
cradle moralities of the piety -peddlars
and is not concerned about "a happy
land far away"
He interprets disturbances in the So
cial order most accurately, because, back
of his philosophy is the profound learn
ing and logic of all the exact sciences.
He analyses the doings of men in the
light of the doctrine that we follow that
thing which we conceive to promise US
most substantial good.
Under a principle which he has dis
covered in the capitalist system of pro-
duction, known in the socialist books as
the law of surplus values, he can tell
YOU why ever so often the wheels of
industry must stop, the factories shut
down when men do want for the very
means of comfort and life, and why
when the bosom of bounteous mother
earth is swollen and taut with plenty,

His notion of the struggle for exist
ence is a true accounting for the fact
that the beauteous daughters of toiling
