Surprising the Vastage Of 100000
men per month to b exact and to con-
tinue during the winter months, he
asserts that eGrmany's present re-
sources in men would last until April
].
Admitting that these bases and the
resulting calculation are only approx
mate and open to discussion, this au-
thority points out In confirmation the
fact that as far back as Noveber /
Germany had calledup every available
man excepting the younger men Of 10
years of age Of the contingent of 1917,
and had incorporated the contingent
Of 1916. Moreover the estimate of
4,50O,000 men as The effective force
under arms presupposes that all the
units have their full number and that
all the bases have their full compile
ment, which this authority declares,
on the basis Of detailed reliable infor-
nation, is not the case. The over
estimation Of this item, he considers,
offsets any oyer.stimation Of the
others.
The deduction he makes from these
calculations is that Germany will be
obliged to restort 10 abnormal meas
ures to meet an abnormal situation
resulting from progressive exhaustion

PANAMA, Feb. 4.-The part to be
played by the United States in the
next presidential election in Panama,
which takes place next July, is being
discussed at informal conferences be-
tween the American authorities on the
isthmus and leaders Of the various
political factions OF the little republic.
All factions are deeply Interested as
to whether the United States will
again supervise the election as was
done In 1908 and 1912.
Most OF the conferences have been
sought by the leaders of tho opposition,
or Liberal party, which is supporting
DR.. Rodolfo Chiari for the presidency.
It Is understood that the opposition
leaders favor American election super

Only Approximately 100000
Men Are Still Available to
Fill Voids in Ranks.

Correspondence of Associated Press)
PARIS, Feb. 4.-The Germans have
still available to fill the voids in their
ranks approximately 100000 men,
according to French authority. He
reaches this result by taking 100000
as the total normal recruitment in
Germany. This is based on the
liberal proportion of thirteen per cent
of the total population. January l
this year those 100000 recruits were
proportional, he declares, as follows:

What the Flag Stands For.

The school teacher who told her class that the
flag is but piece Of bunting" and explained
that she meant in relation to human life, made
serious mistake. Human life is sacred but to be
Of SAVIOR il must be of service; mere existence is
not living To eagerly enjoy the pleasures Of life
and shirk its responsibilities is not living. Even
II il were so, TO have those pleasures and to be
permitted to enjoy them, human lives must blend
into something intangible but possessed OF force
and vitality. That something is government. In
the United States this government is "of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the people" To main
tain it requires the constant care of the people all
the time, and devotion to II that knows no limit.
War is terrible in any Of its manifestations,
but there are things worse than war Life devoid
Of liberty, even though existence be softened by
Injuries and comforts, loses its value. II has no
fuller meaning than the life of pampered pet.
Our government gives liberty, freedom of
speech, Of thought and action, and preserves US
safe in the exercise Of that liberty. And the flag
is the emblem Of that government
This teacher should revise her philosophy. Our
flag does not represent war, or force, but stands
for the most perfect form OF government yet
known 10 man. II may be OF silk or Of bunting,
or Of cotton or printed on paper, il matters not
the substance Of which it is composed the flag Of
the United States stands for great ideas, great
principles, involving and supporting human free
dom in all its aspects And this idea is more
precious than many lives, for il is the life Of all
the race.
School teachers, above all other citizens,
should know what the American flag stands for.

Waiting for President Calvin.

When President Calvin OF the Union Pacific
comes TO Omaha to take up his duties he will
find one very important question waiting for him
1t is the new union depot
Omaha has outgrown its present depot faeili
ties Especially lacking in all the essentials Of a
great terminal station is the plant used by the
Union Pacific and its connecting lines. This is
so clear TO all that argument on the point is need
less. In the ordinary course Of events, the rail
roads must expand their station accommodations
in Omaha in order that they may properly care
for traffic that is continually increasing.
The Union Pacific, as landlord for the Iowa
roads that cross its bridge, is primarily respon:
sibe for the condition that exists, and should lead
off in any move for improvement The other
great lines eentering in Omaha will not long
demur at the project, il the Overland takes the
initiative. Mr.. Calvin can we'll afford to inaugu-
rate his administration by the announcement of
definite plans for the construction Of passenger
station in Omaha that is in keeping with the
eity's importance and dignity.

Carranza Again Makes Appeal.

Secretary Lansing is in receipt of another note
from the de. facto government Of Mexico, asking
that definite time be fixed for the withdrawal
Of United States troops from Mexican territory.
This may be interpreted as meaning the political
pressure on Carranza is getting too strong for
him. II is not possible that he can mistake the
real meaning OF the presence OF American troops
in Mexico. 1t is not that the United States has
any sinister designs il does not portend war, but
il does mean that outawry and disorder will be
less of a menace to our border so long as our
army is in control on the Mexican side The
United States government and not Carranza will
determine when order has been sufficiently estab
lished TO justify the withdrawal OF the expedi-
tonary forces. II anything to this end has been
accomplished, none CT the credit is due to the
effort or the attitude of the de facto Mexican
government. Whatever may have been the rea-
tons between our president and the FIRST chief
Mr.. Wilson cannot afford to risk renewal Of
border disturbances merely for the sake of saving
Carranzas face with his petulant eountrymen

EARLY BIRDS.


oh, Robin, with your breast of red,
Say, did you set your clock ahead
That you are up early;
Your piping penetrates my dreams
As also do the first sunbeams
And this might make me surly
But somehow echoes Of your glee
Rebound somewhere inside OF me
And | am glad as glad can be
To be aroused early.
Oh, Red-head. drumming at my roof
Against your taps my dreams aren't proof.
But they do not distress me;
Although my dreams are rent in two
would not hurl my soap at you,
No such desires possess me;
For I am glad to be awake
When all the birds sweet music make,
Long e'er It's time to dress me.
oh, Bluetay. | have heard you scream
At morning when the first gold beam
Came stealing TO my garnet;
But I've never longed to cast my shoe
Or ink or comb or brush at you
never did, I swear e.;
For when you 'waken me / hear
The gross beak and the buebird near:
And II I'm feeling out of gear
Their glad songs help me bear II.
Oh, Wood Thrush In dreams l hear
At dawn your notes resoundine clear,
Blu this fact does not grieve me
I simply cannot feel irate
When my beauty sleep you perforabe--
never could, believe mel
For in my dreams I follow far
Where the beauties that you sing OF are
And their memories never leave me
