property say let's fight.
God spare our land from this war
II possible but America is bigger than
debt, bigger than the life and proper
ty Of any citizen, bigger than any
mercenary acrument. bigger than any
indemnity: and IL American honor,
American dignity, American rights
need to be defended and protected by
the lives and property of its citizens,

And pray you, fellow countrymen,
stand man to man with President
Wilson If 1t comes to a struggle;
stand by the flag and our country, it
matters not your politics then, nor
our nationality as regards our an
cestry. We are all Americans. Let
us stand together. pray you, do
not harshiy criticize or condemn Mr..
Wilson at this time. Just try to put

Ships Chinese In Sacks.

Harry e. Brock of Seattle, who was
arrested recently while driving an I'M
licensed automobile carrying two Chi
nese concealed in canvas sacks, con-
fessed that he has been engaged In a
thriving Chinese smuggling business
for seven months and that for each
subject brought into the United States
from Canada he received 5000.
Brock was delivering the Chinese
to Hop Quick Co company of Portland.
Ching Chong Kee, merchant OF Van
couver, British Columbia, was the Ca
madam agent in the deal
Brock said he picked up the Chinese
seven miles north of the international
boundary line, walked them ten miles

The Engineering Record says that
every new war offers great scope to
the skill Of the engineer. One prob
lem, for example. that needs to be
solved Immediately is to find the ma
terial that will best resist modern high
explosives Concrete, the mainstay
of modern Notifications, is obviously
almost useless-at least in its usual
form. A few shells charged with high
explosives knocked to pieces the tur-
rets of permanent concrete forts, or
If they did not hit them. toppled them
over by completely shattertng their
concrete bases. Temporary earth
works. on the other hand, and one or
two forts heavily banked with earth,
resisted attack by such shells with
measurable success. A shell pene-
trates concrete, and then exploding,
rends the whole mass, whereas on en-
tering earth 1t merely blows out big
hole, which the falling dirt partly fills.
In our Civil war an active shovellng
party could quickly repair any damage
to an earthwork that even heavy bonn
bardment could do. The question now
is whether concrete can be so re-en-
forced as to stand the shock, or wheth-
er recourse should not be had to some
improved form of earthwork. Certain
ly it is true that few feet OF loose
dirt, or even of snow, would stop
bullet that would pierce a halfinch
iron plate, and the same principle
seems to hold good for heavy pro1ec-
tiles.

AN EASY WAY TO GET

apply a little resinol ointment very

more hot water, finishing with dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice a day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing resinol medication soothes
