We're Now Living Under Such
Conditions, Says Taft.
Prosperity Must Vanish After

here TODAY. ex-President Taft preach
ed that Americas present prosperity
* evanescent, attacked the Adamson
eight-hour law, the presidents lor-
eign policy and his domestic course.
He declared the nation now is living
in "A FOOLS paradise" and that pros
perity must vanish after the European
war when the warriors again become
workers.
The slightest analysis of our pres
ent prosperity" he said, will snow
how utterly unwise the people will be
if they allow ii to have any effect upon
their judgment in selecting the party
which is to conduct the affairs OF the
nation for the next four years
As for the Underwood tariff, Taft
said. had not the war ensued the
business conditions of the country and
the precarious situation of wage earn
ers would have grown worse and
worse"

He condemned what he considered
Democratic extravaganza and Demo-
cratic abuses of the civil service. The
Adamson bill, he said ought to
arouse in every clear-headed, clear
sighted American the utmost humilia-
ton
Hughes's remedy for the strike
situation, Taft added, would have been
to offer arbitration and if this was re-
fused. time to have the government
DO all in its power TO protect the rail
ways when they filled strikers places
Declaring Mr.. Wilson's policy in
Mexico should defeat him for the
presidency, Taft attacked the admin

adding; THE proneness of the adj

The Canadians gave their fellow CO., lonials hearty welcome and an equally hearty invitation to have something" These fraternal details having been attended to Canadian turned to one of the Australians.
 When did you fellows come over?" he asked.
 Just got in this morning."
 Well, what are you going to do?"
 This was too good an opening for the Anzac.

 Then the trouble began. It was Donnybrook affair for a time. but eventually peace was declared with renewed and mutual respect for colo niaI fighting ability.

Both Canadians and Anzacs delight in nocturnal raids made almost every night on the close-lying German trenches. On one of these recently a Canadian lieutenant worked his way unseen to an enemy dugout and sud denly peered over the top. It was a nasty, rainy night, cold and damp. and group of Germans were seated about a little stove
 "iIoW many of you fellows down there, called out the Canadian in a raucous voice.
 "Nein," came back a startled and ambiguous reply.
 "WelL share that among you" the Canadian shouted, as he hurled bomb into their midst and threw himself flat on the ground to avoid the cf- fleets of the explosion.

be traced to a band of Gypsies, and
mothers were want to scare the little
ones about running away with a
statement that 1.-THE Gypsies will get

had been abused because she refused
70 marry n of the men. The au-
thorities gave her money to go to
Yankton, which she claimed was her

There was a beautiful and one-time
popular song written many years
ago. based upon the life of one of
these girls. 1t was entitled THE
Gypsie's Warning" written by Hen
ry A Coats, and contained a very
touching appeal to all girls in its
Do not trust him, gentle lady,
Tho his voice be low and sweet,
Heed not him who kneels before you
Gently pleading at thy feet.
Now thy life is in its morning,
Cloud not this thy happy lot;
Listen to the Gvpsie's Warning,
Gentle lady trust him not"
Keep thy gold. | do not wish it,

For the hour when | might foil him,
Rob him of expected bliss,
