 In view of the billion and a half dollars expended by this democratic congress this looks like a huge joke

 This is the authors eighth book and it has the same spirit which has sold seven million copies OF his preceding novels, of which the Winning of Bar bara Worth" was the most popular, and The Shepherd of the Hills" the sweetest of his stories. When Man S a Man." by the very title gives notice of the Vigor and high aim of this new story, and it harks back to the Scottish plow boy who heraIded to the world: "A mans a man for a that!" Harold Bell Wright brings to view in this book the scenery and the real life on the unfenced ranches of northern Arizona. It lacks no thrills or perilous adventures which make such a book interesting and the price of being a man in mans affairs is vividly DOT trayed. The fine way in which he clothes his ideas makes Mir. Wright an ideal story writer.
 The illustrations and decorations about fifty in all-are made by the au- thor from sketches drawn on the scenes of the story; and add to the in- terest and beauty of the book.

 The publishers of the large daily newspapers have found it necessary to reduce the number of pages in their publications owing to the present scarcity and high cost of print paper. The change will, we believe, be wei comed Dy readers. Some of the daily papers are so large that no one has time to read them through, and it is difficult in the maze of many pages to find even such news as one cares to read. It would not be surprising if publishers, now forced by temporary conditions to reduce the size of their papers, should find the change so pleasing to their readers as to be worthy of permanent adoption.-lIan- chester Herald.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Fair Review of the War.

 | MT. Editor:-I recently noted a let ter in your columns from a reader. who states that while he does not favor the | Central Powers. yet in his opinion the war is entirely in it's favor. The Germans received a defeat at the Marne, which completely destroyed their chances of capturing Paris The British defeat at GallipoIi is not to be compared with the great German failure at Verdun. After months of terrific fighting in which the Germans suffered enormous losses, we find the French still holding Verdun. ana at the same time pushing Q vigorous offensive against their adVersar1es.
 The conquest of Belgium is not to Germany's credit. A powerful nation peaceful nation which it had promised to protect.
 The British defeat in Mesopotamia will have little bearing on the war in general.
 The Germans have captured the greater part of Poland, GaIicia, as well as Warsaw, and the great Russian fortress line from OssOwetz to DubnO, and yet they are far from victorious.
 Austria has already reIt the pressure of the new Russian armies whose inn pOrtant success in GaIicia, spelled fail ure to the Austrian drive against Italy. I fail to find anything to prove that Bulgaria is sitting on England's neck"
 Germany is perfectly aware that she will be defeated, but wishes to make the Allies pay dearly for their victory. The combined pressure of the Russian, English and French armies, will crush the German defenses, and Germany herself in the end.
 Germany is bound to make a last desperate effort to throw off the ad- Versaries who press her on every side; O11t if will Or11yr of her certain defeat.
 And then the Allies will exact re- venge for the devastation of Belgium, and the sinking of the Lusitania a crime unequaIIed in the history of the world
 The actions of Germany show that she is fighting a desperate fight, for she uses all means, fair or foul, to ob- taIE her ends.
 t will be long time before the de- cisiCn is reached, for Germany though she lacks the power to defeat her nu- nerOUs foes, is powerful enough to de- lay their certain victory.

WHIPPING OF BOYS
!. SUBJECT OF PROBE
Chamber of Commerce to In
vestigate Training School
Punishment.
FOR EDUCATION OF ALIENS

Decision to investigate charges that
cruel punishment is inflicted at the Ma
tional Training School for Boys the
reform SCHOOL,, and determination to
take an active part in "Americanizing
America" were two actions taken ny
the Chamber of Commerce last night.
Charges of cruelty in the punishment
of boys at the National Training School
for Boys were made by DR.. Lewis j.
Battle.
Dr. Battle explained he had heard
from two different men that boys at the
school had been beaten until they
tainted. and that their backs We're COW
cred temporarily from marks of hose
used in punishment. 1t was on these
complaints that he had started to in
vestigate, he said.
He read letter. which he explained
he had received through the District
commissioners. in which the president
of the board of trustees Of the institu-
tion under discussion stated that the

ished many years since: we now use

added that this lis sanctioned by the
board of trustees.
Termed Cruel and Inhumane.'
DR.. Battle called upon John p. Heap.
secretary of the Washington Humane
Society. who was present Or. Bat
ties guest. Mr.. Heap explained that
he would certainly consider the use of

Unavoidable at Times.

ut is hardly to be expected that
among the large number of boys COM
mitted to the school there would not
be found at all times a certain proper
ton decidedly not amenable to the
ordinary means of discipline. and with
such a resort to corporal punishment
is at times unavoidable.
institutions such as this hold this
character of punishment in reserve for
exceptional cases Of willful insubordi-
nation. and when inflicted it is made a
part of the boys record. This is done
with rare exception in every other IN
Stitution of this class.
Examination by our board shows that
the rules of the school are enforced in
spirit of good will. and that previous to
the inf1iction of corporal punishment ev-
cry boy is given opportunity to escape IT,
and that it is never inflicted in the heat
of passion or on the spur of the moment
I've are impressed. however. with the
thought that often when employees of the
school have left ii with dissatisfaction
from any cause, real or imaginary. or
have been discharged. complaints of some
sort shortly afterwards reach us either
directly or indirectly.
