ROOSEVELT IS RIGHT

Colonel Roosevelt is right in maintaining that the best way to avoid war is to be pre- pared for it.
 He points to the case of China, trampled under foot by Japan because of her in- ability to resist the Nippon CSC invasion.
 It is to a similar fate that the peace advocates of the United States would lead us. ldealiStS of the Bryan type, who are against expansion of our navy, enlargement of our army, or any other of the big measures that should be talk en to insure the honor and the integrity of our nation, are the worst enemeiS the could have. They leave US defenSeleSs against the aggreSsions of any third-rate power that choose to offer us in- suit or injury.
 There are those who differ entiate between the two, and who say that no insult is worthy of notice by a great nation if recognition should They forget that in- difference in such a case is usually mistaken for pusil- lanimity; and where a nation swallows an affront, it is on,y question of time when it must endure injury.

COHGRESShEN REMAIN
 IN THE CAPITAL GITI

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 23.- Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner The members of Congress put the skids under their days work today, evidently with the idea of reaching an early adjournment and thereby add ing a few hours to what will be the shortest holiday recess in the record of recent years. The short recess will keep tn most of the members in Wasn- ington and in consequence the present holiday season in the capital promises to be unusually lively from a social viewpoint. Only those members liv- ing in nearby states will be enabled to go home for the holidays.
 The President will remain in Wash ington, as will nearly all the cabinet officers and heads of departments. The Vice President and Mrs. Marshall will spend the holidays with Mrs. Marshall's parents in Arizona. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Bryan may spend part of the holiday season at their place in Florida. The Secre- tary of the Treasury and Mrs. Me Adoo will depart Saturday for San

of thanks and the usual ex- planation that the president feels obliged to adhere to his rule and accept no presents.
 All of the presidents, how ever, have not seen fit to re- fuse all the gifts sent to them. President Grant probably re- ceived and accepted more presents than any other man who ever occupied the White House. The honorS thus showered upon him were of a universal character. Not only did he receive a multitude of valuable presents from the American people, but from many other parts of the world came gifts of a most valuable character. Among these may be mentioned a carpet of almost fabulous value from the Sultan of Fur key and some valuable pres entS of silver and furS from the people of Mexico.
 One of the most unique gifts ever sent to the White House was received by PreSi- dent Mckinley. This was in the form of a huge prize watermelon from Georgia. The melon was nearly three feet long, weighed about 80 pounds, and was wrapped in 2 large American flag, tied with ribbons. MT. Mckinley accepted the melon on the as surance of the Georgia con gressman that it enclosed no office-Seeker."

capture six prisoners insisted that there were 1000 of them.
 The investigators agree that in the violence of action the soldiers perception is con- fused. He is so highly excit- ed, so intensely concentrated on the work in hand, that he acts unconsciouSly or Subcon- SciouSly. His instinct carries him on. His judgment is lost. Important things may leave no impression on his mind. Trifles may be tre- mendously magnified. And, therefore, the observers say, nearly all soldiers are invol- untary liars.
 The theory is worth re- membering when we ponder the value of "atrocity" tales told by "eye witnesses"

(By Ida Clyde Clarke)

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 22.- Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner A graphic picture of open air evan gelism among the Belgian refugees is given by MT. s. LevermOre, of the London Open Air mission. He says:
 "I heard the resonant accents of the French tongue on every hand. My satchel was filled with French gos- pels and Testaments; a white band upon my sleeve bore the words, La Mission en Plein-Air, 19 John street, Londres, w. G. and became the cen ter of attraction for the Gauls, who straightaway appropriated me as be- longing to themselves" He tells of one Sunday which was a great day:
 "Out on the quay, at 9:30, the way was divinely opened for really good meeting. Those good old standbys, Rock of Ages and Jesus, Lover of My Soul were sung, first in French, then in English, and the people press ed around. One sober-looking French sailor was deeply affected, crying aloud in French, 'Ah, monsieur, we cannot do without God now It was a spiritual movement. The people pressed closer and closer.
 Later on, when surely not fewer than a thousand persons, French and English, were awaiting a cross-channel boat, we mixed with the people, talk ing and distributing, and the Gospels, were, in most cases received with gratitude. Suddenly I strike up, How Sweet the Name of Jesus sounds. There is a rush and we have got crowd. Then talked to them in an in formal way-stories of our late be- loved queen Victoria, tales from the battle field, stories of my gospel trav- els, all pointing a gospel truth.

WHY SOLDIERS LIE

Every lawyer and every re- porter knows the difficulty of getting the truth about an event from an active partic;- pant. It is generally neces- Sary to take the statements Of several witnesses and then average them. That is what the doctors have been doing in a Russian hospital at Mos COW, and their observations show that the soldiers ac- counts of their own battles experiences are absolutely unreliable.
 Of seventeen wounded men tested at one time, twelve, a intelligent, "betrayed a curi- ous passion for exaggera- tion."
 At another time out of 1 wounded men the answers of Is were "hopeleSs." One of them was known to have killed two Germans with a bayonet, but he failed to re- member it until some one re- him. Most of the witnesses showed less modes ty in their narratives. One who had helped to

HOW T0 LIVE
 ONE HUNDRED YEARs''
THIS IS THE NAME OF A NE BOOK BY EUGENE CHRIS
 THAN, F. 8. D.

Eugene Christian. F. s. D., the| worlds greatest Food Scientist, has just published a new book called How to Live 100 Years"
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age, your work and the time of the year. It teaches youS how to select, how to combine al- so as to establish perfect digestic and assimilation of food and perfe elimination of waste. In other wora. It teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestinal disorders by removing their causes, which is wrong eating.
 If you have indigestion, gas. fermen- tation. sour stomach or any such dis orders after a meal, this book tells you how to put the remedy on your table at the next meal.
 Dr. Christian shows that all animals bow to proportion your food at rseals except man live about eight tim as long as it takes them to get lheir growth. If man should do this he would live nearly 200 years; but civi- liked man dies at the average age of 39. He begins to lose his teeth. hfsu eyes and his hair, and drops into h grave only a few years after he grown.
 Dr. Christian shows that 22 per d$ns of all the human beings born into the1 world die before they are one year Id. Twenty-Five per cent more die effre their fifth birthday, and more than half of the human race die before they are twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as 1t takes them to get their growth. Man breathes the same air, drinks the same water, lives under the same sunshine, but differs from his brother animals only In his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows conclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be on account of his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing over z3.000 people within the past ten yeafs by teaching them what to. eat and how to eat. How to Live 100 Years" gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or upset the family table. It teaches the housewife what foods the meal should be composed of, so as to make them chemically harmonious and perfsctin digestible and healthy.
 This book Is beautifully bound in velum, and gold lettered. Send one dollar to Dr. Eugene Christian, 213 West 79th Street, New York City, and you will receive this lfe-saving book by return mail, and if it is not worth its weight in gold your money will be promptly refunded to you.

(By our Special Correspondent
 In last weeks competition for cham pionship in the game of quoits, Le- land Biggs and Earl Arnett came out as winners.
 The pupils in the intermediate room are displaying a great number of ar tistic rafia baskets, some of which will be seen at the San Diego eXposi- tion.
 And have you seen the school gar den? The first course has been served. For three weeks we have en- loved a bountiful harvest of crisp radishes. The market price was five cents per bunch. And now come the peas. The vines are three feet long and covered with large and uniform sized pods. On Wednesday the gar den experts gave out, as their opinion, that cabbages ought to be set, and 200 were set out to be greatly bene- fitted by the rain of Thursday and Friday.
 One thing that has been demonstrat- ed in the school garden is the effect of applying artificial fertilizer. Visit ors on being shown were greatly sur prised.
 School closed on December 18th for Christmas vacation. It opens again January 4th. MT. Anker and Misses Martin and Fisher have planned to at tend the l.. c. T. A. convention, at Los Angeles, December 22-24.

I strike up Safe in the Arms of Jesus The soldiers and the dense crowd take up the chor- us until the sound rolls like the waves of the sea. The effect was electrify- ing. Then comes more speaking. with much help from the blessed Holy Spirit, as we explain, with text and with illustration, what it means to be- lieve in the Lord Jesus Christ"
 But by no means all the gospel work is done by meetings or by preaching the nonce, the evan gelist must be Jack of all trades. ' For instance:
 Here is a party struggling with an English newspaper. Over there in the little Belgian town are loved and dear ones, and these people have heard the Germans are there. Their dis 'ess is pitiable; one of the women is weeping bitterly. Permettez-moA' cries the evangelist. He translates. The tid- ings are good, and smiles take the place of tears. Naturally the transi- tion from temporal to spiritual things is easy. Sometimes it is a lesson in English for a crowd of Belgians, then a lesson in French for the English, with the gospel for grammer, diction- ary and vocabulary.
 "A sporting lady accosts me with: "A thousand pardons, monsieur, but my sister and I have a bet on as to whether you are French or Belgian. Well, madamoiselle, if you will prom ise me faithfully to read this Gospel throughout, I will tell you Agreed monsieur Good; then I'm neither French nor Belgian; Pm English Then the bet is off, she cries, but I'll read the book all the same

THE MOHAMMEDAN
 SPLIT

Islam, as well as ChrlSten- dom, has it's schisms. But heretofore they have been unimportant to the rest Of mankind. Whatever her in- ternal differences, Islam has faced the infidel with a unit ed front.
 The entrance of Turkey in- to the war of the nations has brought a definite and mo- mentous split. The Turkish Sultan, for centuries the nominal head of the faith, now has his authority set at naught outside his own poli- tical domain. Aga Khan, the
 spiritual ruler" of the Mo- bammedans of India, central Asia and eastern Africa, has bidden his people everywhere to have nothing to do with Turkeys war against the al- lies and to remain faithful to their temporal allegiance. This is not an Islamic war, he explains, but a conflict in which the Turkish govern ment has yielded unwillingly to German dictation. The Sultan, he declares, has drawn his sword in an unholy| cause and has thereby for ieited his position as. trustee of Islam.
 Incidentally, Aga Khan, who is the third to bear his title-the first was driven out of Persia by the Turks now seems to go beyond his mere ly "spiritual'' functions.
 His action apparently puts an end to all fear of a jehad or "holy war" in which the Moslems of the world would take advantage of the present chaos to rise against Christ endom. The Mohammedan Turks are left isolated byI their co-religioniStS. And for the first time, they will take up arms against men of their own faith, facing Mohamme- dans in the opposing armies of Russia, England and also France.
 There are fewer than 3,-I Mohammedans in European Turkey. Russia has more than that, who re- main loyal to her. Turkeys .ASiatic Moslems are vastly | outnumbered by the 62, ,5OO,- 900 Mohammedans in India, who will follow Aga Khan'S bidding and support Great Britain.
 The 14,OOO,OOO Mohamme- dans in Russian Asia and the of eastern and north ern Africa may likewise be expected to obey Aga Khan.
 This leader is a highly cul- tured and much travelled man and is familiar with both Eu- rope and the Orient, and is known personally to large of his people thru put the world. He has al- ways been friendly with Great Britain. Never, how ever, has he shown his friend ship to such good purpose as I il passing the word to two- -hirdS of the worlds Moham- nedans that Turkeys pres ( mt embodiment is political 2 ,lunder that has nothing to 10 with their religion.

CHRISTMAS AT THE
 WHITE HOUSE

bration at the White House this year naturally will be a very quiet affair. since the president and his family are still in mourning for Mrs. Wilson. The president will have his daughters with him over the holidays and several relatives are expected to join the family party. But the pleasures of the occasion ariS- ing from the family reunion and the exchange of gifts naturally will be subdued by the sad memories of the fine Christmas of one year ago, the first that the Wilson's had spent in the White House, when the wife and mother was present to pre- side over the holiday feStiVi- ties.
 Seldom in all it's long his tory has the White House failed to be the scene of mer- rfment at Christmas time. In recent years the occasion was a particularly joyous one dur ing the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, made so by the presence of numerous children. The same was true of the second Cleveland ad- ministration, when the Cleve- land babies always were treat ed to a huge Christmas tree,
 oIightful, too, was the Yule- tide season in Jefferson'S time, and JackSon'S, ard Ben jamin Harrison's, when the presence of grandchildren made the occasion one oI more than usual festivity.
 Every president from Geo. Washington down the list has been made the recipient of numerous Christmas presents from friends and admirers throughout the country. That the custom shows no signs Of abating has been evidenced this week by the arrival Of countless packages at the White House. They have come by mail, by express and by messenger and from every section of the country. The packages have contained the gifts of every conceivable character, from choice 35-lb. turkeys and homemade plum. buildings designed for the. presidents Christmas dinner, down to articles of wear for MT. Wilson and members of his family and pieces of furn- jture and articles of bric-a- brac for the ornamentation of the executive mansion.
 That the great majority of -heSe gifts have not been ac- 2epted by the president goes without saying. In view of the wide publicity given MT. Wilson's aversion to receiv- ing gifts from unknown do- ners it is difficult to under stand why persons continue to lombard the White House with presents at this season of the year. But day by day the gifts continue to pour in bundles of necktieS, boxes of candy, barrels of fruit, books, oil paintings, fur gar cases of wine, articles of jewelry and even dogs anQ other live animals.
 Practically all presiden have made it a rule to return all gifts received from Strang- CTS, on the ground that TO &C., cept gifts from persons un- known might be construed as placing the chief executive under some obligation to the doner. But, as many of th
