IN BARBAROUS AMERICA

A crowd of 10000 persons leaped and howlcd about fire in madness Tuesday. They danced and Shriekcd like Voodoo medicine men in wicrd ncatation Shops and stores had been closed for the spec taclc. In the center of the fire was a stake. The stake was set in the middle of a steel cage. Tied to the stake was miserable human being Faggots had been piled around him. Gasoline had been poured over the wood and the trembling victim
 This iS not a scene taken from the Mid dlc Age luquiSition, says the Tacoma Trib- mc. The crowd that shouted as the vic tim died was not composed of naked Af- ricm savagcs. Far from it. They were American citizens and the burning took place in Memphis Tenn. The victim was a miserable negro who had committed an crime against a white girl.
 There is worldwide indignation against the Prussian barbaritics in Bel gim and Northern France But Prussian barbarism has yet to make an iron cage, put a negro in it and burn him at the stake to make a civic holiday. America ought to hang it's head in shame at rcversion to say agcry.

 Both the university and the gov ernmcnt arc dcsirous that as many as possible of thc old men, and as many as possible of this years high school graduates, Joe in the miyer- slty next fall. Word has come from Washington. D. C., that Che gov ernment fears a famine in tcchui- cally trained men 1T students con unuc to enlist in nou-tochnlcal branches at the present rate.
 Two thousand and eighty men registered this year in thc Uniyer- sity Of Washington. for example, and nearly oue-third of them have already enlisted for military sery- ice. This number does not include withdrawals for food production.
 So important is it regarded that scientific and professional work be kept up in the university to help put out this states quota Of engineers, pharmacists, forcstcrs. chemists, el- ectricians, and other expert help needed in war. that an all-university assembly was called to lay before the remaining students the urgency of their coming back in October
 Otherwise there would be but a few handfuls of men on the campus next fall. and the numerous labor atories to which the government is looking for aid in the later stages of the war would be practically de- serted.

Indications are that Russia has done about all toward assisting the other ma tions in defeating the Germans that she is going to do. In her action in quitting, Rus sia is not surprising the world, for there was a general belief when she entered so enthusiastically into the war that her en- thuSiasm would wanc even before it did. Any country that has been "ROmanoffed" for three hundred years cannot be depend ed upon in any crisis. The average Rus sian just lacks the very elements that char actcrize stickcrs and the average Russian is not to blame for his condition. He is probably better than most of us would be had our environments and those of our forefathcrS been as his have been.

Destroy France, Cripple Russia, Humble England and 'Subiugatc the United States.
 Somc months after we have done om business in Europe we shall take New York and probably Washington, and we shall keep them for time We do not intend to take any territory from you, but only to put your country in it's proper place with reference to Germany. We shall extract one OF two billions of dollars from New York and other towns.
 About fifteen years proved to be a close prophecy, because the kaiser started his loug-plmucd war con civilization and democracy within fifteen years and fifteen months after the German rear admiral ut tered his prediction to one of America $ greatest naval heroes.
 The TradcSmm has long had in its pos session series of books written by the diff rcrcnt members of the German general staff describing how each one would proceed to "subiugatc America" All of the books are addressed to the kaiser and state explicitly that they were written at the kaiSer's re- quest.

 Two days ago thc Red Cross had am in- ming u Douglas. when one hundred and seventy new members were enrolled.

In this connection am exchange truthiuIly says:
 "Thuc isn't man or woman in this riry who would refuse Co become a mem bcr ir hc or she fully understood the na- urc of the Red Cross. Certainly there isn't a person in this city who would refuse to contribute a dollar OF two to help re- Hrvc the suffering of a wounded soldier or to take carc of am orphan in the war zone. Nobody would refuse to pay for medicine Co relieve thc pain of sick Strau- err bv the roadside And that k exactly what vou are asked to do when you are in- yitrd Co join the Red Cross The dollar or two vou pay Co bc a member goes to relieve human misery. Every cent expended iS ror thc purpose of making somebody more comfortable. You cant go to the battle field yourself md pick up thc wounded so- dicls. but you cam send somebody. If you win join n.

The outlook for future business on a steady and substantial basis is daily be- coming brighter on the Island. Optimism is replacing pcssimism and a better feeling prevails than has been apparent since the accident to the three mines nearly six weeks ago. All along the theoretic effect of the disaster has been worse than the prac- ticaI effect and indications now are that the coming few weeks will witness a decided change for the better. Just what will be done in the way of salvaging the mining property involved is not yet known but there is every reason for believing that there will be much greater activity at Treadwel in three months from now than there is at present.

 riotiSm in the west are now making all manner of apologies. The west never clamorcd for war, but as soon as war was declared the west began immediately to send it's men into the army and navy and into the militia companies wherever their services were most needed. The east fur uishcd am abundance of war enthusiasm, but has been Signally slow in furnishing volunteers for war service. Washington has already supplied more than 700 men in advance of conscription, a record that few eastern states can equal, population con- Sidcrcd New York newspapers are will ing to admit that their former estimate of western patriotism is in need of a decided rcvision.-Toppcnish (Wash) Review.

What An Armistice
Means In Warfare

1t suspends military operations
(troops may withdraw, but are not
permitted to advance)
The armies can continue to do all
things that would be legal in peace
times. They can raise and drill tho
troops, collect stores and munitions.
All conditions in disputed terri
tory must remain in the condition in
which they were when the armistice
was concluded.
a siege or blockade remains in eff
feet. 1n case of a general armistice
between the central powers and the
allies, the allied blockade would
continue, but the German submar
Inc would have to cease operatingD
Any infringement of the terms en-
ablcs the other side to resume oper-
ations.
An armistice along a small portion
of the front can be concluded with
opposing commanders. A general
armistice must be approved by the
governments concerned.
