A Matter of Conscience.
From the MANCHESTER Guardian.

War is applying its searching test Of
character to every one who Is in the
firing line, and many men have discov-
cred that the greatest surprises of the
whole business were in themselves and
their own conduct. A very curious In
stance of this was told me by an officer
in a Scottish regiment who was home
on leave. He was a serious and bril-
liant student, who had no idea of SOL
diering till the war began His story
was something like this: 1t was at
the time of the big show at Ypres in
October, when the Prussian Guards
almost broke through our lines. When
at last they were brought up and be-
gan to retreat my friend was In the
counter charge. He found his revolt
yer empty and snatched up rifle with
a bayonet and rushed on with his
men. He remembered clearly charging
a big Prussian. who put up his hands.
ed he saw with the corner Of his eye
one of the Prussian's hands coming
down to his pocket, SO he swung around
and ran him through and then rushed
on. AS he ran he found himself
thinking that he had done wrong; per-
his hand was hit by a bullet-there
might be scores Of explanations. He
described the thought as running round
and round in his head. II shouldn't have
done done that; I shouldn't have done
time he was killing other Prussians
and fighting all he knew. He was
very unhappy. When the charge pulled
up he could not do anything but go
back and search for that big Prussian
found him at last with his hand in his
pocket. in which was the revolver.
Then he felt at peace and his Scots
conscience was sllenced.

Crime Always Loses.
From the st. Louis Star.


The temporarily successful robbery Of
the Gravois Bank by daylight holdups
show how exposes are such institutions

shows that even banks in the very
hearts of populous cities are not i'm

usually it is the bank in the small
town or suburbs Of city which suf-
fers from daylight robberies.
The worst feature of such crimes Is
the dramatic impression they make
upon the unthinking minds Of young
men. They seem to show that rob
thought is put into many a mind which
may be the germ which finally de-
velops into crime. The truth is that
such crimes are seldom even tenn

The Boy Scout movement is making
enthusiastic progress in the Philippine
Islands, where it was introduced less
than a year ago by Lieut.. Sherman
Kiser, stationed at Zamboanga. a Moro
town in South Mindanao. He called a
little company of the brown boys to-
gether and explained the scout law to
them. They understood it readily and
proceeded to organize.
One of their first duties was to clean
up the village by using ground rakes
and grass cutters. The boys were
taken up to the fort for a visit, and
there instructed in the principles of
neatness and order. They soon inaugu-
rated vigorous campaign for cleaning
up their own homes and the roads
around the village. They are being
taught to protect the cocoanut trees
from insect pests. and 1t is believed
that they will soon be rendering valu-
able public service by this means.
The influence of the scout law In
developing kindness to animals was
recently demonstrated In the village
when a lame dog was given first aio
treatment for a badly wounded leg
| 1t was the first instance on record of a
Moro boy having exhibited any kind
ness to a dumb animal.

II.-CompuIsory Military
Service.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Were the military experts OF the
nation to speak their minds they would
to a man advise Uncle Sam to inaugu-
military service based upon that in
operation in Switzerland.
The forthcoming report to President
Wilson of the Secretaries Of War and
Navy may not contain such a recon-
mendation, because the experts know OF
the prejudice in the American public
mind against militarism. ard compul-
sorry service sounds militaristic. But
they nevertheless believe that this would
be the best solution of the question Of
preparedness.
For Switzerland. most peaceful Of ma

that the training thus given the youth

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 19.-
Taking of crude oil or petroleum
from Oklahoma at time when there
is no great demand for the product
or fair price, is prohibited in the
''oil conservation" bill passed by the
state legislature. The Corporation
commission is empowered to fix the
price of oil, the law stating that the
actual value shall be the average
value as near as may be ascertained
in the United States at retail of the
by-products of such crude oil when
refined, less the cost and a reason

oil fields last season, resulting in the
price per barrel dropping below SO
cents, resulted in the passage of the
bill. It is considered the most dras-
tic piece of legislation ever ATTEMPT

on the measure, Corporation Commits
sioner George Henshaw was quoted
as having said that the Prairie Oil
company had taken from Oklahoma
