Terse Report.
Danny O'Brien got a job on the
section working for the B., u & M
railroad. The superintendent told
him to go along the line looking for
washouts.
And don't be long winded in your

less words that amt to the point

Well, Danny got on the handcar

TRAINING OUR BOYS

The training up of our American
boys into useful citizens-men who
will strive to maintain the honor OF
their country through patriotic love
for it's "a work that should be en-
eouraged whenever opportunity IS
offered. Patriotism and loyalty to
America and American institutions,
as taught by the Junior Guard, which
has a branch in Alexandria, is most
commendable and should command
the serious consideration OF every
father and mother who have sons
between the ages of twelve and eigh-
teen.
The principles which the teachings
of the order inculcate are Of a high
and elevating character, beyond the
criticism of either church or state.
In word, it means better citizen
ship, of which we cannot have to
much.

The following to say concerning
President Wilson and the trying ex-
.periences which have come to him
during the past four wears:
Woodrow Wilson has had to bear
trials and anxieties greater than those
that have beset any president since
Lincoln. There have been dark hours
in the White House, dark hours Tor
the country. There have been grave
questions to determine, decisions to
make involving the peace of the coun-
try. the security of the people. his
great determinations he has had TO
make alone, for, upon him rested the
responsibility. What Theirs sad OF
the Provisional Government OF France &c
while the German armies were still
occupying French territory is pecu-
,liarIv true of President Wilson-he
is at the post, not of power, but OF
danger. With fortitude, with calm
ness, with wisdom, with mind res
dilute to safeguard the hsnor ana the
peace of the country, he has in the
noble spirit of devoted patriotism
made his nomeutores decisions and
done his duty as an American Presi-

GERMAN MAGNANIMITY

1t is nearly 125 years since Prus-
STA acceded to the Austro-Russian
partition compact with respect to
Poland and the conquered Polish
provinces We're divided among the
national spoilsmen. The third parti-
lion Of Poland took place in 1875.
Now, in 1916, two of. the parties to
that shameful bargain undertake to
restore the independent sovereignty
of this ancient nation. Germany and
Austria-Hungary by joint action on
November proclaimed Warsaw
and Lubin the Kingdom of Poland
and established the right of the
Polish people to control their own
destinies. to live an independent ma
tional life and to govern themselves

A contemporary in commenting
upon Germans course towards Po-
land suggests that the dispatches
from Berlin, which describe in glow
ing terms this act of historic justice,
do not outline exactly the frontiers
Of the new .i.ingdom, for the excellent
reason that the third party to the
original ROBBERY has not been coas
suited and IS engaged in war which,
in case Of Russisail GN:ietory, might
mean the acquisition of rich slices
of German and Austrian territory, a
''partiv!cr. that neither of the latter
could contemplate without indigna-
lion. So far as we can gather from
the csb!cgram. however, it would ap-
pear that the two conscience-stricll-
