ASK AGRICULTURISTS
BE LEFT ON FARMS

London-(C correspondence of the AS
sociated Press.)-The action of the
military authorities in calling up fol
active army service 10000 young sin
gle men from the farms, coming at the
very moment when farmers are being
urged to increase their output of food
has caused dissatisfaction in many
quarters Already the provincial pa
pcrs are calling for a modification Of
the order lest it have the effect OF
Gripping farm staffs and making the
food shortage more acute.
The governments action caused sur
rrisc, especially in the farming dis
tricts. because the general impression
left on the public mind by recent ut
eranccs of cabinet members was that
land.
In explanation of the action the gov
ernm"nt says that tho farm hands who
have been called up are really in cx.
cess of the allowance OF fit men which
a recent expert investigation shows tt
be necessary for the thorough cultiva
tion of the land. The government dis.
covered. it was asserted. a rush from
tho towns of fit young men to small
farms, where there was not work fol
them to do, but where they hoped Il
dodge military service under the shel
ter of the excuse that they were en-
gagged in national service. Farmers
sons, it was said, who never did !:
stroke of work on farms and hardl,
knew steer from a heifer; were sud
denly converted into active farmers.
HUT 1t was not only the government
| action in calling up this new batch o
men for military service that ha
caused its wisdom to be questioned; |
was the method adopted for repla acin,
the men thus taken. The substitute
arc to be taken from a reserve force o
men who have been designated as fl
only for scdentary occupation at home
and which Includes mainly men near

SERGEANT NILES IS BACK
After Spending Six Months
on Border, Forester Re
turns to Missoula.

After having spent six months in
watchful waiting on the Mexican bor-
der. and another month in quarantine
at the Boise barracks. Clark Miles. an
employe of the forest service, and SER
geant of company NJ Of the Second
Idaho infantry. returned to Missoula
yesterday and will resume his work
with the forest service. which he left
at the beck of his country early in
July. Mr.. Miles does not expect to
stay here long, as he believes that the
militia will be called to the colors soon,
in view Of the present warlike situa-
tion.
Militia incompetent.
According 10 Sergeant Miles, the
mobilization Of the troops OH the bor-
der proved that the present militia is
incompetent and II failure as part of
the national defense. The soldiers
were two weeks getting down on the
border and three months getting into
shape to do any fighting. The con-
! scnsus OF the militiamen Chat is,
among tho privates) is that they would
not 80 out on such an expedition
again. as they did no fighting but sim
ply police work down on the border.
The Second Idaho infantry was sta
toned at .Sogales. Ariz.. from July II
until December 23, when the regiment
was ordered to the Boise barracks
| where it stayed until January 25. Then
il was mustered out of service
No Real Fighting.
The Idaho guards were not partlci-
pants In any engagements during their
stay on the border. but did guard duty
all the time, and only got a few oc-
casional shots at "greasers' out on
the sentry outposts.
They spent most of their time drill
ing and on long hikes, at one time TAX
ing 25O-mile hike to a target range.
They also worked out all the problems
of trench warfare and tried out
number of inventions by army officers
in regard to trench digging and other
parts of modern warfare.
The regiment started from Boise
with 100 men. and returned from the
border with a loss of only four men.
Pneumonia and typhoid hit the troops
hard after they got back to the north
ern climate, and there was more sick
! ness then than while they were down
on the border.
Before the regiment left, General
Plummer the commanding officer of
the Nogales district, said that the Sec
ond Idaho was the most efficient regi-
ment under his command, and also
said that it had the most sanitary
camp at Nogales.

WHAT. HARRISBURG BEHIND =?

TT is rather startling to read that
Harrisburg, which sent so many
of its young men to the army that
it was not called upon to give one
man under the draft, is short on it's
contribution to the national fund for
establishment of libraries at camps.
The information is given to-day
that the city. which went far over its
allotment in the first Liberty Loan
campaign, that exceeded what was
asked of it in behalf of the Red Cross
and that has given as freely of it's
wealth as it has of it's manhood for
national causes, is behind in provid-
ing what was requested of it to give
for the camp libraries.
Harrisburg was the first city of the
State to send books to Camp Hancock.
1t has never been a Stacker when
called upon for any patriotic purpose.
Hence our surprise at the announce
ment to-day.
Pennsylvania's capital city behind
in a patriotic move? That will never
do to record.
The capital city that had the proud
distinction of being free from the
draft requirements Stacking in pro-
Tding it's share toward wholesome
reading matter for it's sons and the
sons of its neighbors? Send your
contribution tonight. The list closes
tomorrow.

TO REFLECT CANNON

Uncle Joe" Cannon will go back
to the Sixty-sixth Congress for his
twenty-second term at Washington
without a fight. The primaries are
nearly year away and the elections
are not to be staged until 1915 Be-
fore Congress sits in December, how
ever. the real politics in all of the
district will be played, and quiet but
significant developments are report
ed from all parts of the state.
Personally, Mr.. Cannon would pre-
fer to quit with the present session,
and his family sides with him in
such a stand. The Danville district,
however, expects that the former
speaker will be renominated with
out opposition in the Republican
primaries and the Democratic con-
test against him undoubtedly will be
perfunctory.
Agreement to this effect was
reached within the last few days and
the word was brought to Chicago
that Uncle Joe" agrees to take one
more term. The old Progressive ele-
ment joins with the regular organi-
zation spokesmen in the counties in
the district in this determination,
the reports say. The politicians do
not want any factional fight precipi-
tated while the war is in progress
and with the unsettled conditions
that are prevailing in many sections
of the district.-From the, Chicago
Tribune.

THE TOILERS

An hour ago I gazed with aching
eyes
Upon the ugliness across the
street;
Revolving at the sight of wretched
folk
Who plodded by on weary, drag
ging feet.
A sudden tide of storm came sweep
ing up,
And yelled with curtained rain the
garish day;
And twilight followed hard upon
the storm,
The twinkling lights came tripping
out to play.
And now 1 see anew the shabby
streets,
Transformed from tawdriness to
sudden splendor;
The fairy prince who stands across
the way
A moment back was Just the pea
nut vender.
The little lady smiling to herself,
And brooding softly who would
ever know
She jingled tambourines to silly
tunes
A street musician not SO long ago?
Where stitched the stolid, pallid
swea tshop girls,
In that big building opposite to
me,
1 see, amid those soft and mellow
lights,
Exquisite women sewing joyfully.
And oh. l think the vagrant fairy
gold
That ever hides within the toiier's
heart
Was gently coaxed into the twilight
soft,
That l might find the faith and
play my partl

Christian Herald.

l"HAT this is not a commercial
war and that the United States
II is not in it to make the world
safe for democracy" is declared by
| Lord Northcliffe, head of the British
war mission in a plain-spoken artlcle
entitled What America is t1ghtlng
For" to appear in the October issue
of Current Opinion Magazine. Lord
Northcliffe takes issue with President
Wilson and refutes a stock argument
of the yelled pro-German press IN
stating that IF this country had
meant to take up arms in defense OF
British or French interests, or In the
interest of Belgium, or in order TO
spread democracy, 1T would not nave
waited until April, 1917. III It's aims
had been commercial, it would have
been in the war long ago. The mo-
tive which brought the United States
in was not sympathy with any other
nation, was not desire for gain, was
not an abstract fondness for demo-
cratic as opposed to autocratlc gov
ernment: it was self-interest, SELF
preservation, self-respect The Amerl-
can people are not fighting to make
the world safe for democracy, but to
make the world safe for themselves"
The only way to do this, LORD
Northcliffe asserts, is to make Prus-
sia admit that her theory of a state
which has no conscience, a state
which can do no wrong, Is out or
date. "The German people" he adds,
"have been purposely deluded into
the belief that they are defending
themselves against foes who are set
upon crushing them out of existence,
a design which nobody but lunatic
would conceive or imagine possible
of execution. Austria fancies that
she went to war to defend herself
against Russia, the truth being that
she was used as a cat's-paw by the
Hohenzollern gang. Bulgaria Is still
under the delusion that she will gain
the reward promiseo her by Prussian
Junkerdom for her treachery to her
fellow Slavs.
Even among the Allies there exist
misconceptions as to the causes and
aims of the struggle. A number or
English people still fancy that Britain
could have kept out of the conflict II
Belgium had not been invaded. These
people are still unable to understand
that Prussia's object in forcing war
upon France and Russia was in order
to clear them out of the way and be
able ito attack England, and, in
course of time. the United States,
with a good prospect of success
later on.
''In Russia the pro- -Prussian propa-
gandists have infected many with the
crazy notion that the new republic
has no interests of It's own to defend
against Germany, and only remains
| in the war for the benefit of France
and Britain. I have even heard
French people speak as IL their coun-
try took up arms for the purpose of
