ROOSENELT'S MlLfrARISM


That the people of the United
States made no mistake in turning
down Charles f. Hughes and his
coadjutor, Theodore Roosevelt, at the
Presidential election this month be-
comes more apparent daily. The fact
that the latter would have exerted
great influence upon Mr.. Hughes's
administration is wcll-known, and
RELOCATING the would-be President to
private life carries Roosevelt also INTO
the shade.
Lieut. Gen. S. 3. NJ Young, retired,
made public in Washington ycster-
day a letter from Theodore Roose-
welt, saying:
Il most cordially and emphatical-
~ approve your efforts, as president
OF the Association for National Ser
vice, TO secure the passage of law
making it obligatory upon every
male American citizen between the
age of Is and 81 to serve six months
OF a year, as the case may De, in
the field with the colors.
Il believe no one should be allow
cd to vote who has not thus served.
Poltroons and professional paciiists
are out of place in 4 free republic.
There should be education to-
wards military training along the
lines followed in Australia, Argen-
tina, Switzerland and Japan.
''No man is fit to be free man
unless he has fitted himself to fight
efficiently for his freedom"
The above will be read with in
terest by the great majority who re-
joice in the fact that we can be citi-
zens Of this great republic without
being compelled to pass a large per-
centage OF our lives as soldiers. 1t
isc we!l-known that Roosevelt weak
cncd Hughes's standing by advocat-
ing n:ilitarism in his speeches. The
former Supreme Court Justice had
good reason to say, Deliver me from
my friends!

NEW AUSTRIAN RULER.

Archduke Karl Franz josef no"
to be Emperor of Austria IS - year D
of age. -.
Democratically inclined, very Ut
flo. has been known of him until re-
Gently.
II. has lacked any training what
ever in statecraft or diplomacy
Moreover. he assumes the throne at
time when the strongest men
would have task in maintaining the
empire of Austria-Hungary intact
and strong. Hungary is growing res
tive under the Hapshurg yoke.
Strong leaders Of men have recent
" appeared there. They fear swal-
lowing UP of Hungary in the leu
tonic empire. and have not hesltatea
to express that belief and to work
for Hungary as separate Kingdom
1t has been sixty eight years since
the cry, "The king is dead! Long
live the king" has been heard IN
Austria, during which time the house
of the Hapsburgs has passed through
some thrilling experiences. The
story of Francis Joseph and his
times will afford an interesting study
for future students of history.
The effect Of the passing away OF
the aged ruler at this time and the
accession of Carl Franz Josef may
have an important bearing upon the
war. 1t has been known from the he
ginning that Germany has acted the
part of whip to Austria, and that
a certain percentage of the people of
the Kingdom were averse to war ut
the onset. It has at times been re-
ported that Austria. desired to make
a separate peace with Russia. but
was deferred by Germany. Besides
Hungary is by no means satisfied
with present conditions, the country
not being content by being part OF
the tail of the Teuton kite. The
young king is faced b.: many prob
lens. 1t remains to be seen whether
or not he can manage the ship of
state as did his predecessor.

negroes voted freely there is no doubt
that the whites would reply in num-
hars sufficient to counterbalance this
accession of strength to the Rerubll-
cans. In Virginia, for instance, there
were. at the time of the census OF
1910, 1,3S9,S09 whites to o'l'o'0
blacks. This would give approximate

600 blacks.
It is probable tthat if the choice OF
President were made by popular
vote the increase in the white
strength would more than counter
balance the vote cast bp the negroes

Huns would shoot any American in a French uniform that fell into their

Huns would shoot any American in French uniform that fell into their hands, without a trial-just a drum head court martial and then a firing squad. They shoot any Alsatians or Lorraines that they capture, and that is the reason why men from these provinces are seldom allowed to get in the fighting lines.
 And we have absolute proof" he said, "that the Germans shoot a good many Foreign Legionaires on the ground that men in the Legion volun- teered to fight. A Foreign Legionaire whose right arm had been amputated at the shoulder and was repatriated to France by way of Switzerland as- serted that 23 of his comrades, who had been captured unWounded were shot. He escaped because the shell that shattered his arm blew off all his clothing, and also his identification disk which showed his regimental number He kept his mouth shut. He was dazed anyway, and was sent back into the interior of Germany before they had a chance to find out he was Legionaire. Then, of course, the Germans have been killing all the Senegalase they captured, but for tunately they haven't captured many of the black troops"
 What is particularly exasperating to the American aviators, however, is the fact that German airnen continu- ally use explosive bullets, in direct contravention of the Hague Tribunal agreements, and that captured avi- ators found with explosive bullets in their machine guns are not punished.
 Look what the 'Boches' did to poor Chapman" continued my in formant. Their explosive bullets tore hole as bug as plate in poor Kiffen RockwelPs chest. And they tore Balsley all to pieces; at the American Ambulance they have extracted the pldnger that made the bullet explode from Balsleys thigh

HOLLAND PREPARES

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. IA The University Extension move ment has taken root in Holland and The Hague in the form of a ''Volks,' or Peoples University, which pro- poses to throw open the doors ot higher education to the slenderest purse.
 This movement early made it's way in America, and has subsequently spread widely in Europe. The idea has been in the minds of Dutchmen fora quarter of a century, and to some extent put into practice, but ii took definite and concrete form when the first Dutch ''Volks'' University be- ban its courses in the capital, Amster- dam, in 1913. This institution prov ed big success and the war brought it yet more students, for many o1 those thrown out of employment en- tered the university.

 BULLETS NE SAYS
American Aviator Fighting for France Thinks Al
 lies Too Lenient

Paris, Nov. 14.-"It certainly looks as though the 'Boches' were after us,'' said member of the American Es- cadrille, who is in Paris on six days leave. "As soon as the Escadrille, composed entirely of Amer. cans, was formed last spring and sent to Lux euil, the Germans came over and raided the aviation field there, al- though the French airmen had used it as a base for a long time and had never been attacked.
 "Then we were moved to the Yer dun sector" this man said, "and as soon as we had arrived at Bar-le-Duc that town was raided by the 'Boche' aviators, who dumped tons of explo- sives on it in the course of their half dozen aerial attacks
 ''Then a few weeks ago we were transferred back to the Vosges and as soon as we arrived at LuXeuil again the Roche aviators raided it. The very first morning we were there mind you, although they had not dropped a bomb on the place since we had been gone," he declared.
 Now it is rumored that the Amer ican Escadrille is to be shifted again. The men hope to get to the Somme front; indeed they confidently ex- pected they were on their way to par ticipate in the great allied offensive when they were told they would leave the Verdun sector.
 "One thing is rather good news for us," the aviator continued. "That is that we now have information, ob- tained, I believe, from German pris- -oner or else found among papers in a captured German division base, that American aviators are not to be shot summarily, if they are captured.
 Heretofore" this aviator said, cit has always been understood that the

Dear Doctor: Will you please an- swer the following questions: Would you advise man 60 years of age, en- toying good general health excepting stomach trouble and constipation in a mild form, whose teeth are so bad that he cannot properly masticate his ! food, to have them extracted and substitute artificial ones? I should think it would be extremely painful if not dangerous to have them ex- tracted. I have never had any teeth extracted but have several broken off at the gums. However, I seldom have toothache. have used tobacco since boyhood.
 Ans.-Decayed or partly decayed of stomach trouble as we'll as constipa- tion. should advise you by all means to go to an honest and skilful dentist and have the decayed teeth and roots removed and a good set put in. Of course, artificial teeth can never be made as good as natural ones but good artificial teeth are vasly to be preferred to decayed and infectious roots and Stubbs. Te pain and even danger is as nothing when compared to the pain and danger of disordered stomach and the constant poisoning of the system by decayed teeth. The ability to masticate the food properly will give you great comfort and in- crease your health. One of the great est mistakes of humanity is the fear of not having enough to eat. At your age there is much more distress from an overindulgence in food than from too little being taken. A person past 50 years does not require as much food as at 10 years and all that is eaten above the amount actually required to sustain life and health is a serious detrinent.
