can Volunteer Motor Ambulance
 Corps, has cabIed me that the corps
 is in need of more volunteers, owing
 to the request of the French Army
 authorities that its numbers be in
 creased if possible. This corps began
 work at the start of the war and has
 been doing for the last eighteen
 months the regular ambulance service
 for one of the French Army Divisions
 Lately the corps received the remark
 able distinction of being especially
 mentioned in the General Army Or
 cers for the constant devotion to
 duty of its members and because it has rendered the very greatest ser vice to the Army Division to which
 it is attached in succoring the wound ed in the best possible manner" The essential requirements for vol
 unteers are that they should be good l Americans, in sound health, capable i of withstanding hardships and doing 1 hard and trying work in connection i with wounded men with kindness and | also be good tempered and capable of getting well with other men of all 1 kinds and conditions. In addition l they must be able to drive a motor | the corps have been principally | American College graduates from 25 | to 50 years old and are a fine and | agreeable set of men to be associated
 with in a very interesting and splen- | did work, involved tn the most stu | pendous event of the worlds history My brother has asked me to pass | upon the qualifications of any men | who want to volunteer and shall ac- cordingly be glad to hear from any ! who wish to do so.
 I am, Sir,
 Very respectfully yours,

Prineeton's oisiIusionment About
 Wilson.
 (An extract from Owen Wister's ar ticle, If We Elect MT. Wilson" in Golfers Weekly of Nov. 4th.)
 It took Princeton some years to get undazzled. He began there as a great light A few months ago, when the Princeton Alumni dined in Philadel- phia, the first fact printed about 1t next morning was that MT. Wilson's name had not been mentioned in toast or speech! Such a silence seems worse than anything the college of which he had been president could have said about him. Could there be a clearer sign of what they now think?
 Why they think it can be briefly explained by three selected incidents. In 1903 Dean West of Princeton wrote a book, proposing certain plans for the establishment of a graduate college at Princeton. For this book MT. Wilson wrote preface sweepingly indorsing these plans as "in every way admir- able" In 1906 when Dean West of fered to leave, discouraged by the lack of support from MT, Wilson, MT Wilson wrote a resolution which the trustees of Princeton adopted, urging him with the utmost concern to re- l main, and promising full support Re lying on the good faith of his action, the dean remained-but when 1t came to carrying the plans out MT Wilson opposed them with all the adroitness of which he is master. When asked | why then had he endorsed them, he stated that he had written his preface l before he had seen the book" Grover Cleveland, then chairman ot l the Trustees Committee, denounced and resisted MT. Wilson's methods It was when about to retire from the presidency of Princeton that MT Will son applied for the Carnegie pension He was told 1t was meant for broken down teachers, not for men in full vigor, earning a salary and about tc l turned down.

STORIES OF THE WAR
A German Front Trench.

An English lieutenant writing from the front in France says:
 T had the good fortune to approach Meharicourt, the point from which the French assault on Chilly started on September 4, on a day so rainy and foggy that artillery observation on the part of the Germans was utterly i'm possible, and which alone enabled me to work my way through the villages of Maucourt and Chilly to the mouth of the tunnel in what had been the German first line trenches, without drawing down on myself Lombard ment that the accompanying French officers would never have permitted a correspondent to risk.
 "The descent into the tunnel from the first line trenches was by three successive flights or stairs; for the Germans, naturally figuring that their first line positions would suffer the heaviest bombardment, had sunk the feet. Entering the tunnel proper, l found it walled up with heavy timber. the ceiling high enough to permit the troops to pass without stopping down, and with a narrow gauge railway run ming the entire length for the hurry ing of munitions to the front line trenches. Pipes for mechanical venti- lation, as well as electric light wires, ran the full length of the tunnel. The plants at 40 feet below the surface earth had been destroyed by the Ger mans at the moment of capture.
 From both sides of the tunnel sleep ing rooms branched off, and the hunks in these contained still the shoes, coats. caps ana other articles of cloth- ing just as the Germans had left them at the moment' of surprise. A little further on I came upon a widened DOT ton of the tunnel that had been the dressing room and surgical station for the wounded.
 "The approach to the other end of the tunnel that comes out in Chilly was marked, as at the end where l had entered, by groups of chambers The piece -de-resistance" came at the end of the tunnel, where it opened into the underground apartment of the German officer who had comanded the position. Although his apartment was 40 feet below the surface of the earth all the rooms were plastered. even to bathroom and 9 well-stocked wine cellar.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Samuel G. Blythe, in the Saturday Evening Post, which appeared yester- day and is dated October 2S, hesitates to predict the outcome of the election to be held November T. "Straws show how the hot air blows," he comments and he doesn't hesitate to say that on October 1, the day the article was completed, that the swing was for Hughes and had been for many weeks" Perhaps MT. Blythe doesn't want to encourage betting on the election, which IS contrary to law in some states and perhaps he really is as uncertain as he writes, but with the swing for Hughes strong enough to be perceptible to his neutral mind on October l the outcome is not so doubtful as some Democratic prophets would have it appear. Several things, including Secretary Bakers unfortu- nate figure of speech and a relapse which threatens to be fatal to the tot tering CarranZa government in Mex ico have made the swing even more pronounced in the past few days Waterbury Republican.

ELECTION PREDICTIONS.

With the campaign in it's closing hours, interest increases in the pre- dictions which are being made by those who are in a position to know something of which they speak In this connection the statement by Col George Harvey. who for a number of campaigns past has come within a few votes of the final result in the elec- toral college attracts much at tention. He has predicted the out come of election after election. and this year he says that MT. Hughes is going to win with 322 votes. He was the original Wilson man and not only picked him to win four years ago but urged his election. Wilson's record however, has caused him to change his mind both as to the desirability of his reelection and his chances. His pre- diction is. however. made regardless of his personal feelings.
 Another whose predictions have been looked forward to with much interest is Frank H. Hitchcock. Like Colone Harvey hS has been a close student of campaign conditions in the past and his figures have not been far from the entua1 result. He has had excep- fionai opportunities this year to gel hard cand cold facts relative to the trend of public opinion and as the re- suit he predicts the election of MT Hughes, who will have at least 308 oi the electoral votes. He bases his es- timate upon the statements of those who are reliec upon to get out the vote and he has taken into considera- ton the conditions in the various states.
 The democrats are of course claim ing everything, but they are doing se rather through hope than from any actual basIc for their figures.

MT. Wilson Should Read His Own
 History.

History.
 And these gentlemen tell us that these nations that have spent their best blood and energy for this thing are in the meantime doing what? Gre ating great bodies of goods which they are going to ship to us and dump on us when the war is over. Have they ever seen a war? Have they any i'm aginations? Why, my friends. we ought not to turn to these people in fear, but in sympathy. We ought to realize that after this exhaustion they will need us and that we need not fear them.-President Wilson at Cincin- nati.
 A characteristic wilsonian expres- sion, the advancement of a theory in the usual terms of cocksureneSs. But how about the facts of experience? What does history have to say about the condition following other Euro pean wars? What does MT. Wilson's own History of the American Peo- ple'' say?
 After describing the growth of do- mestic industries following the enact ment of a protective tariff law in 1872, MT. Wilson tells what happened after the close of the Napoleonic wars, when the tariff had been revised downward: Peace changed the very face of trade. English merchants poured their goods once again into the American ports so long shut dRd1nSI In6I1 Dy 6II1UdTSO6S dHu WAT. . It was manifestly injurious to every young industry that a flood of English imports should continue to pour into the country at the open ports. The remedy was a protective tariff such as MT Hamilton had wished to see at first, and the young republican leaders of congress did not hesitate to advocate and establish it.. That was what MT. Wilson said when he was writing history and had no political end to serve. It is plain fact that Europe has not yet ap- preached the state of exhaustion that it had reached at the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars, and it is un- likely that any such condition will be reached. Yet Europe, with the aid of a free trade tariff that our congress foolishly enacted in 1916, poured her products into our markets until, as 1 that eminent democratic authority, | Thomas H. Benton, tells it, these con- ditions prevailed: NO price for prop erty; no sales except those of the | sheriff and marshal; no purchaser at execution sales except the creditor l or some hoarder of money; no em- l ployment for industry; no demand for l labor; no sound of the hammer except | that of the auctfoneer knocking down property"
 Now MT. Wilson is advocating the continuance of a tariff law that is in l comparably worse, from a protection standpoint, than the tariff of 1916. And he tells us that Europe will be unable to take advantage of this low l tariff because industrially eXhaustedi. | As matter of fact, history shows 1 that every great European war has been followed by highly developed industrial activity. The presidents ut terance at Cincinnati Is a good ex- ample of his reckless disregard of facts in his appeal for votes. In this man. I MT Wilson continually contra H. diets himself His single track mind has asmany twists and turns as any railroad built through our western l mountains.-Springfie1 Union.

Why Prof. Bullock Prefers Hughes.

Why Prof. Bullock Prefers Hughes.
 Recently the National Hughes Ali ance requested Professor Charles J. Bullock of the Department of Econom- ics, at Harvard University, noted authority on taxation, to tell why he will vote for Hughes instead of Will son-for whom he voted in 1912. His reply is given below:
 HARVARD UNIVERSITY,

 My principal reason is found in the statistics of Americans murdered in Mexico, to which MT. Roosevelt called attention in his recent speech Of Phoenix, Ariz. MT. Roosevelt states that so far not a single German has been killed, and only one Englishman; while the Mekicans have killed over 300 Chinese and over 500 Americans.
 Allowing for any possible margin of error due to the difficulty of ascer- taining all the facts under the unfor- tunate conditions prevailing in Mex ico, these figures undoubtedly give one tolerably correct idea of what MT. Wilson's feeble and unintelligent pol icies have brought us to. Germans, it will be observed, are perfectly safe even in the midst of Mexican revolu- tions. One Englishman has been kill ed, but that murder brought conse- QuenceS whIcn nave so Tar ueterreu the Mexicans from committing an- other. Three hundred or more China men have been killed because. unfor- tunately, they have no government that is able to protect them. But five hundred Americans have been mur- dered because their government though able to protect them, refused to do so.
 Our international status. it will be seen, is worse than that of China, and infinitely more shameful because we have had a President too proud to protect American citizens who hap pen to go south of the Rio Grande =
 Instead of following the obvious and correct course of defending the American frontier,-I say nothing now about their property.-Mr. Wilson

 or which requires no uprooting of well-grounded habits. We do not take kindly to any advice which sug- gests that we should reverse our hab it's. We all like a good road and a high rate of speed even when we are on the road to perdition. We cannot tell why things which would improve us should irritate US. but we know they do. It must have been something like this which prompted Hosea to say: "Ephraihim Is joined to his idols, let him alone" We get to depending upon things without life to promote the things only living truth can fur nish. They had valiant preachers in the days preceding Christ, but preach ing never yet has set the world right; and it doesn't seem likely to. What is needed isn't advice but example. It ought to be shown that Christians get more health and joy out of life than any other people, then all things would be drawn unto Christ There is no magnetism in good advice = that is wholly reserved for good deeds.

Did you ever think that many of the seed pods in the garden are little in

 bean may be the cradle of half a dozen baby weeyils. And these tiny creatures in their. expression of life seem to have knowledge Of peril and of joy of good things as well as we
 In the dahlia pods there are tiny types Of insects like the squash-pug, the cucumber beetle and the caterpillar of the syrphid fly; but for size in comparison they are as the dog to the elephant or the eel to the beacon m strictor. They live and move and have their being in the space of from third to a half inch. Magnified twenty times they are not half the size of an exclamation point And compared with the bacteria which may be taken up in any pinch of earth in the fingers, or the disease bacilli of the scientists, they are as much larger | as the dog is larger than the fly It is marvellous how many million forms | life finds expression in, and every form of activity up to the laws of it's being and functions iii accords to its design, | It Is not strange life is beyond the l comprehension of man, or that divine
 mind working through these myriads
 of forms in past finding out.
 That was wise preacher who called our attention to the fact that
 when the Lord searches the human | heart he does not look sto see whether l he can find a Presbyterian or Meth
 odist Baptist or Episcopalian, Roman | Catholic or Jew, Gentle or Sweden ,borgian. He does not look to see how
 many prayers we have said, or what ecclesiastical dress we wear. He looks for His own image and likeness,
 and if he finds 1t, however faint the i outline and dim the form, He knows
 that we are His children He feels
 drawn to us by Fathers love; He
 knows that we are making room for 1 Him to come to us. that we are open | ing the door to receive Him, and as He
 enters in with the glory of His divine
 truth and the quickening warmth of His | divine love, we should come more
 fully, deeply and blessedly into the
 sphere of His divine life, and we
 should be lifted up and drawn closer
 to His infinite heart. The brotherhood of man is better expressed by little acts of kindness than by all the creeds
 and professions to be found in the walks of life.

 Tn these days of the high cost of living, it is interesting and informing to look back over conditions which prevailed in Norwich during earlier times.
 There is no account that the plant CTS or towns founders, ever experi- enced any scarcity of food, or were ever deprived at any time of the real comforts of life, Miss caulkinsf His tory of Norwich states. On the con- trary, they seem to have had abund- ant harvests, and to have been gen. erous flyers. Though their modes of cooking were more simple than those now in vogue, the variety of susten- ance was nearly as great.
 To do away with the necessity of going often to mill, pounded maize. called by the Indians saulp, or mas -aump, which resembled hominy, was much used. Nasty pudding was a common dish. the usual supper of children (before canned foods and spiced dishes and adulterated can ionable appendicitis, infantile paraiy- sis ct al.) Outside of New England, this dish was called mush and sup pawn.
 The coarse meal of these days re- quired at least an hours cooking to make the pudding good; the name .thasty'' is therefore entirely map propriate, the special pleading of Bar low to the contrary notwithstanding: 'In hate the boiling cauldron, OCT the blaze,
 Receives and cooks the ready -powd-

In other places, peas were more generally cultivated than beans. In a list of the principal productions of the Colony, made in 1680 peas are mentioned, but not beans. Possibly, the inhabitants of Norwich were par tlcularly prominent in bringing the latter into common use, and hence arose their local renoWn in regard to them.
 The beans and buildings of Nor wich, were, however, only q popular way of representing tables generously supplied with substantial food.
