MAR7TIAN INTELLIGENCE

quired enlightenment and proclaimed the evil mood, to lapse into barbarism and slaughter and annihilated. These inhabit- ants of Mars, of whom Professor Low ell knows much already and is in the way to learn more, have labored consistently for aeons to keep their whole planet hab- itable. Such work demands unity of pur- pose, a common and unvarying feeling of fellowship. They have preserved life in their domain in spite of the prolonged and continuous effort of all the other forces of nature to eliminate life and the fair inference is that they have found life worth preserving. Man is capable of such heroic devotion, fitfully, but he has never yet conquered his race hatreds and his creed hatreds he has let his empires decay, he has taken savage joy in tearing down what lie has bulded up, Obviously, the whole of Mars, if the Lowell theory Is correct, must be one vast community, one empire kept strong by the common purpose of it's inhabit- ants. We cannot speculate as to the looks and manners and habits of these inhabitants but assuredly they must be worthy of the serious thought of all hu- mar beings aware of the imperfections of their own species. We are confident that the more we learn of them the more We shall like them, especially while they remain 30,00O,OOO miles away fros- our own environment.

BILLY BURKE,s SACRIFICE
rom the Mobile Item.

From the Mobile Item.
 The complete woman is wonderfully portrayed in Miss Billie Burke. First. one must consider that she is America's and England's most captivating. ire sistible ingenue-and next. you must know she is the mother of tiny edi- tion of Billie Burke.
 At the very top of her career, Billie Burke married Florenz Ziegfeid. She followed the inclination of woman. giv- ing up part of her glory to become a wife. But in marrying she gave up none of her power over the American public. she relinquished none of her charms; she only enriched herself
 When she chose to become a mother she did two things: She sacrificed her place in the front ranks of the stage; she gave up the pleasure of see- ing an audience bust into applause at her maddenng smiles: she gave up ad- hiring glances, the praise of the press --she gave up all that make one proud. vain. But she did not give up her ca reer-not vet.
 Thus Billie Burke's genius is in q measure revealed. She Is a type. exclu- sively "Billybur,xish" as Ada Patterson says.
 But Miss Burke in no way shares the meagerness of many modern American women, who oft times lose sight of their mission. They won't give up par ties and balls and shows and all With Biilie's free abandon.
 q should like two bows and two girls" smiles Billie Burke.
 And it Is this complete woman who will be more captivating than ever when she next greets you over the footlights.

 "While guns are made at Oberndorf and gunpowder at Boutwell, the people of this part of Germany are more at home in the manufacture of clocks, watches, toys and musical instruments.
 "Eyery valley and mountain of this region has contributed it's legend or folk tale to enrich German literature. The forests of fir are supposed to be the abode of the nike and of witches But of more interest to the practical minded Is the remarkable system of ] roads which thread all this part of Wurttemberg. Every valley has it's stream and alongside every stream fs wonderfully graded perfectly kept road 15 feet wide resembling the drive ways in the most famous of our Amer ican parks. These roads are constantly tended by peasant army of road menders whose daily wage amounts to about 50 cents.
 Forestry Is one of the chief sources of revenue for the numerous snsG towns like Oberndorf. and the con-
 servation of tree wealth has been de-
 veloped to an almost exact science.
 Both on the royal land and in the com
 munity forests the amount of timber cut annually is not allowed to exceed the annual growth. Numerous fir tree nurseries are scattered throughout the region"

From the New York Times.
 ~PRoF. PERCIvAL LOWELL, as We lg inferred in few words of com ~ ment on his recent lectures relat- ing to life on the planet Mars, does not entertain the theory that the beings which inhabit that planet. and have man. aged to exist by conserving the melting snows at It's poles and conveying the water to other parts of it's surface. are human. He has no idea that they are anything like human beings. He does not speculate as to what they may pc like in shape or size. as to whether they communicate with each other by speech or written signs, as to whether they are mammals or even of the order or vertebrates. From his own clearly defined point of view, he does not speculate about them at all He feels that he knows and has proved by scientific processes that they exist and possess high or der of intelligence, that they nave per- formed on the surface of their planet an engineering feat quite beyond the present rowers of self-satisfied man, though coni- ,,rehensible to his intelligence,
 The world cannot afford to withhold from Professor Lowell the homage that is due to a tireless, expert. indomitable ex- plerer of astronomical space. He has reached his conclusions as to the eS- istence of the canals of Mars and their artificial origin and the purpose they serxe after ? years of persistent ob- servation, relying also on the observations of the Italian astronomer, Schiaparelli, begun 17 years before the discoveries be- ganNt Flagstaff. He has answered in strictly scientific terms the objections of his critics. He has triumphantly ex- ploded their theory that the white caps at the Martian poles are composed of car- bon dioxide instead of snow and Ice, that the lines he sees so clearly and photo graphs so plainly and draws so accu- rately are similar to those observed fit- fully on other planets. such as Mercury. Venus and Saturn. They are not the samu He Is convinced that his proof of the existence of intelligent life on Mars is as clear as the proof that there is sodium in the sun.
 We need not dwell further on the ar
 
 guments of Professor Lowell or the re- ports of the discoveries on which they are founded. They are extant, written in choice English. But if we admit that he has proved his case. we must go as far as to admit the superior intelligence of the inhabitants of Mars, whether they are of the human kind or highly devel- oped insects or reptiles or an order of beings of which we have no manner ot conc option. To do this is not necessarily to deny the vast intellectual possibilities os man. He has again and again over- come the destructive forces of nature on his rlanet; he has evolved out of his valuable mind system of law. religion. and government, but only to destroy or abandon them; by his courage and thrift he has huiidsd vast empires for the mu- tual benefit of all their inhabitants only to let them fall to decay. He has ac.

IMAGINATION

Samuel JOnnSOn.
 The gift of imagination appears to to be the peculiar privilege of man. The architecture of the beaver is clever and ingenious, but the work of one beaver differs only from that of his fellow in the shape and nature of the wood at their respective command. The cells of a ~honeycomb, beautiful and mathematically correct as they are, diff fer in no particular from those in every other bees construction. Every village boy knows that one thrush's nest is repeated, character for character. in that of another.

Recruiting for Army
Still Very Slow

IT ESS than 13,000 men have en- lA listed in the regular army under the recent acts of Congress. The Ma tional Security league has been inter- Viewing the war department and Sat urday last it was ascertained that on that day there were 90, ,257 enlisted men in the regular establishment as against S6.807 on September 30, 1915.
 The President was authorized in an emergency measure to enlist 30,0oo men, but neither that nor the Hayes Chamberlain act, providing for a regu- lar army of 175,OO0 men on peace footing. served to stimulate recruit ing.
 The United States army is we'll fed, well clothed and we'll cared for in every respect. The monthly stipend a private soldier receives is consider ably larger than the pay of enlisted men in any army in Europe. No one ever hears of regular complaining, and vet it is difficult matter for Uncle Sam to keep the ranks any, thing like full Unless something IS done to attract desirable men to the army the authorized strength will never be reached
 One reason why recruiting is slow is because of the country's abounding prosperity. The demand for labor was never so great as it is today. When the country is not threatened with war the mechanic feels that there is no patriotic obligation for him to be- come a soldier. A large percentage of those making up the regular army are young men who have special lik- ing for the military life. A majority of them are farm "boys."
 The National Security league played an important part in working up the preparedness sentiment which resulted in Congress accepting the administra- tion's national defense programme. This association is nonpartisan and it will continue it's activity until the United States is adequately able to cope with foreign foe. The league lac confended all along that universal military service is the cnly way the situation can be satisfactorily met.
