the High School Cadet Regiment
here that it has made enlistment
compulsory for boys except upon the
written request of parents that they
be excused from drill. This year an
effort should be made by high school
principals to enforce the spirit Of
this lsw, and see that boys are not
excused without adequate reason.
The cadets here are under the
command Of an able instructor, the
high school regiment is well organ
lied and equipped, and more can be
had from a drill twice a week the
year around, with the opportunities
for rife practice in addition, than
can be had by a months work.
In the face Of the general senti-

a pretty poor sort of boy who will

DETECTIVES NAMED

Letters, Found in Burns Agency,
Said to Show Conspiracy to
Hamper State Militia.

DENVER, Aug. 3o.-Members OF
military court of inquiry. recently ap-
pointed by Governor Carlson, have made
n martial report to him in which they
state that they have in their possession
evidence in the form Of letters. taken
from the Burns Detective Agency. here.
to show a general conspiracy. to pre-
vent the reorganization Of the. State
militia.
They particularly mentioned having
indisputable proof that the United Mine
Workers Of America had hired a detect
i've agency to spy uppn the movements
Of the recruiting officers.
Rumors were current as to the name
of this agency. and one report had 1t
that it was the Burns agency itself.
Another report stated that the agency
involved sent detectives to various
places in the State where efforts were
being made to enlist men in the militia,
under instructions to hamper the ef-
forts.
II was further asserted that their
evidence included correspondence upon
which was based their knowledge Of a
plot to obtain the indictment OF public

clare that upon assuming his new duties

Wednesday he will first familiarize him

for additional facilities will then be
given careful attention by him.

WAR RELIEF

In one respect, it may be COM
fort to know, America is better pre-
pared for war than almost any Eu-
ropean nation at the start Of the
present conflict. This point of pre-
paredness lies in our provision for
relief work.
France early realized that her
lack Of provision for the treatment
of the wounded was not only an
omission on the score Of humanity,
but was a handicap in her military
operations. For nearly six months,
it recently has developed, she was
without any organized and effective
relief system.
America has the advantage of, be-
ing the base Of the Red Cross, and
many folk do not realize the official
status of that body. It is not
simply a volunteer association for
humane purposes; it is a part and
parcel of the War Department, and
the surgeons general of the army
and navy are authorized to repre-.
sent their departments in relief
work.
War relief is not conducted under
haphazard rules, it is strictly regu.
lated by established rules, and the
Red Cross figures in the treaty OF
Geneva as the agency for carrying
out all relief work fostered by the
United States, whether this nation
is a party to war or not.
Reports from physicians and ysz>
gvons who were on the firing line
were made before the First Ait
Conference here, and they indi
Gated just how superior was The
American organization for relie.
than anything in Europe. outside Of
Germany, at the outset of the war

paredness in this direction it NIGH

All European nations will soon be SO
sick and weak from strife. that they

Those who have figured to make
many millions on war material are the
evil ones who really desire terrible

Would 1t not be more patriotic in
those war spectators to turn their at
tention for the building OF good roads?

THE ALLIES BALKAN POLICY

The diplomacy Of the allies has a
double aim in the Balkan peninsula.
Apart from their desire to align
Bahama solidly against the Austro-
German-Turkish group, the chan
celleries of the quadruple entente
are pursuing purpose that has to
do with Europe's tomorrow.
Their policy is based upon the re-
peated declarations of Sir Edward
Grey that in the Encouragement of
frontiers due attention will be paid
to the interests Of nationalities,
even the smallest. There is reason
to believe that the collective intel
ligence of statesmen has been pene-
trated at last by the truth of the
epigram that sowing the wind in
variably leads to reaping the whirl-
wind.
For centuries past Europe has
been sowing the wind; dismember-
ing countries, destroying the unity
of nations, drawing frontiers with
an arbitrary sword to suit selfish
purposes; robbing Peter to pay
Paul, and levying tribute upon
Paul to pay the devil. And now the
day of final settling of accounts has
come, the CHASTITY clearance day OF
Christendom.
1t is the intention of the allies
that there shall be no more make
shifts, no more postponements OF
issues, no more partitioned Polands
In the first region wherein the di.
plomacy of the entente has taken
up the problem of settlements il
has taken it up with an apparent de.
termination to right wrongs anc
heal wounds. The allies have
reached the conclusion that if Bull
garia had not been partitioned by
the congress of Berlin after her lib
Grafton by Russia in 1877 there
would have been no first Balkan
war, whose purpose was the re-
demption of territory restored t.
Turkey by the craftsmanship of Bis
marck and Disraeli; that if there
had been no second Balkan war, TO
mented by the selfish intrigues o,
bystanders, there would have beer
no third war today, involving al
Europe.
1t is evident that the minds direct

A CHANCE FOR THE BOYS

alluring to many Washington men

Washington school boys have an
opportunity for just the sort of

"BY ONE WHO KNOWS"

Zia Mufty-Zade Bey, who needs
no further introduction to convey
the fact of .his Turkish allegiance,
writes a letter to a New York news
paper in which he points out that
Germany has been making war to
save Western civilization. He thinks
it mighty fine for Germany to take
SO much interest in saving that in
stitution.
Trust an orthodox Turk to recog-
nize and honor the true friends of
Christian civilization!
