city had fallen into ruins.
The city was not at all prepared for a
siege, and only eight days after Saadin had
encamped around the city breach was eff
fected in the northeast angle of the wall and
the defenders were compelled to surrender.
Saadin granted most favorable terms spar

the basis of tho Crusadcs, which were TO

oppression of the resident Christians and pill
grlms in Jerusalem Ivy the Turks which led
up to the first Crusade. 1t was in 1899 that
the Christians appeared before tho walls of
Jerusalem, the Seljuk princes and generals
being engaged in fighting among themselves
1t was not merely that the Turks had out
ragged humanity by prosecuting pilgrims and
resident Christians, but they had endangered

whom were his allies and two-thirds Roman
soldiers. There were not more than 10000
fighting men in Jerusalem But this might
have been sufficient had it not been for di-
visions among themselves. There were
three parties among the Jews and, lacking
unity OF action, they fell an easy prey to
the invaders. The siege lasted some 1874

the three walls had been more or less stub

TOWN VERSUS COUNTRY

For some illogical reason a wei
defined but quite unnecessary Jeal
ousy still exists between city people
and country folk. The city dwellel
enyies the farmer his freedom of ac
ton and his healthy, inyigoratin&
work, while the people of the farm
envy the city mans clean" worE
and more exciting type of amuse'
ments.
Both sides of the argument are
right. and both sides are equally
wrong. There is a back-to-the-farm
movement in the city and there is
back-tO-the-city movement on the
farm. The city man wishes to leave
behind the daily grind of the office or
workshop and seek a new life in the
country. The farmer, or the farm
er's son, wishes to leave behind the
monotonous manual labor of tilling
the soil and seek the easy" life of the
city. with all the luxury and gayety
of city living.
The proper place for each one is
Just where he is. Particularly today
this point is to be emphasized The
world is at war To win the war
and put the world at peace is the task
to which we are all consecrated. The
utmost efficiency is demanded of
everyone The farmer must remain
at his plow to insure a constant food
supply to our armies. 1t is no time
for clerks and mechanics to leave
their jobs to trade places with the
farmer. 1t is not the time for the
farmer to come to town to try his
hand at the Office or in the shop.
Then, why this jealousy between
the two? Is not the work of each
equally necessary? The only answer
we have to this question is in the
spirit of the average American. Our
forefathers, the pioneers who blaZed
the trails into the wilderness, had
this same spirit. 1t is that of trying
something new No American is ever
satisfied with his present state. He
is constantly seeking for something
new. So it is with the farmer and his
sons and daughters. And so it is with
the habitants of our cities. The place
for Americans now is the place for
which the individual is best trained
to fill efficiently.

- IT,
.Miss Haroun AI.Raschid., I,

The fantastic and fascinating title
Miss Haroun Al-Raschid," suggests
unusual novelty-and expectation
finds abundant fulfillment. 1t might
be called the footnotes to Arabian
Knights, but it is most thoroughly
modern in its treatment and in its
romance. 1t is story of Joy and ad-
venture, of romance, of fun, and of the
zest of life. 1t was written by Jessie
Douglas Kerruish in competition for
the $4,000 prize, which it easily
captured. AS an example of a first
novel by a new writer it exhibits a
vivacity, a nerve and an amazing
wealth of incident that would crown
the work of a tried and skilled writer.
Its plot is laid in Mesopotamia and
as an accurate transcript of Oriental
life it is of particular intrinsic in
terest. Taken simply as a story it is
well worth reading.

SPIRIT OF FAIR PLAY

Our public men do not object to
criticism. Their acts and their votes
are recognized as proper subjects for
criticism. But slander and abuse are
not criticism.
1t has been said that true democra-
cy would allow the belief and opinion
of one man to be recognized even
though that one man stood alone in
his belief and all the rest of the
world was against him. The rest of
the world would have no more right
in depriving, or trying to deprive,
him of his opinion than he would
have in depriving the rest of the
world of its opinion if he had such
power
In this democratic country of ours
there are newspapers that will SLAM
der and treat unfairly anyone in pub
lie life whose official acts are not in
accord with the editors views. Some
go so far as to prohibit the use of ad-
vertising columns to men of differ
ent political faith.
The newspaper that will not let the
other side be heard has no place in the
newspaper world-the man who will
not allow his fellow man TO say what
he conscientiously believes has no
place in public life and no important
place in private life.
Play fair. If legislator makes
a false statement to gain point or
if his logic is imperfect, the newspa-
pers and the public can properly cor
rect him. But they should not ques-
tion his motives because his opinions
differ from theirs The newspapers
and the public have a right, it is
their duty, to say and fight for what
they think is the country's good, and
the legislator has the same right to

CATS AND DOGS
CONSUME FOOD
NEEDED FOR MEN
ECONOMIC PROBLEM FORCED TO
THE FRONT BY WAR IN
ENGLAND.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with a ma
tional food shortage, England is nurs-
ing at its bosom a dangerous adder
in the form of three million canine
pets, who are doing their daily bit to
deplete the nations supply of food.
Lap dogs, watch dogs, and a hundred
other kinds of Gaines, consume an
average of 1 pound of meat each day,
it is estimated. This more than the
allowance per human. Those dogs
that don't get this much meat make
up on other forms of fodder equally
valuable for human consumption.
When the government takes over the
flour mills, the supply of biscuits for
dogs will be greatly interfered with,
if not stopped altogether, Captain
Bathurst has announced. No flour
will be available for this purpose.
While grain, damaged or unsuitable
for milling might be used for the man
ufacture of dog biscuits, he told the
house of commons, people must realize
that they are keeping dogs at their
peril. If they cannot be kept without
wasting food fit for humans they
should be destroyed, he said.

and the deans of the several colleges
and their wives. The breakfast was

Appropriate short talks were given by

solve many of the great problems con-
fronting the state and nation at this

TRENCH TALES.

LONDON-A Canadian soldier,
well-known in many sections of
the United States, to-day told
of the eagerness of Poles to
desert the Germans and fight
against the Kaiser.
l was out in a sap one night
when three Poles stumbled into
the trench, threw up their
hands and whispered kane
rade.' They belonged to the
34th Polish Regiment, removed
from the eastern front because
they logged it against the Rus
slams. They were placed in the
Bavarian army corps and
frightfully abused. In bitter
cold weather their clothing was
thin and their shoes leaky.
Word was sent back to their
comrades, that the British
would not shoot deserters COM
ing in over a certain frontage.
Next night a dozen Poles climb
ed over and surrendered, on
one company front alone.
Thereafter the same Canadian
. company received IL more, and
on the rest of the battalion line
the number-was proportionate."
