Is expected to result in the perman-

neighborly interest to the American
people. - sss.s
The object is to provide q fair
substitute for the abolished system
of fndentured or contract East Indian
labor. In some countries to. which
Indians used to go under the inden-
ture system, their coming, led, as 1T
was bound to lead in the end, to
serious trouble. They were white
communities, which wanted the Ia
Dor of the East Indian but did not
want him as q. settler.

Laborers who enlist under the new
plan will serve a probationary per-
iod of three years employment in
their new homeland, before being in
vited to become landholders. During
this probationary period OF employ
ment under government supervision
they win be trained and fitted for
the new conditions OF life. at the
same time affording the colony the
benefit of their labor.
On first arrival the immigrant win
undertake work for q period Of six
months under selected employers.
He will then be free to move from
one employer to another at months
notice. being encouraged to work for
the ensuing two and a. half years in
agricultural industries by the offer
of numerous benefits subsequently
as colonist. At no time will he be
under any indenture or contract, the
relation between him and his en-
ployer being exactly the same as
that prevailing in the colony between
any employer and employee.
For the protection Of the imni-
grants, the government win decide
who may or may not employ them.
A fair minimum wage viii be Ak

WAR Will BRING

Lady Wyndhann was Miss Mary

1.-THE war;, she declares, in an ar
ticle in The Pail Mall Gazette, will
probably supply motives for various

stored-not the war which is ex-
pressed in glimpses Of battle, but
the war as 1t shows itself in the
hearts OF men and women and in
fiuences their lives and their ac-
tions.
My belief Is that after the war an
entirely new style OF play win ~
evolved, and it will then be consider
ed old-fashioned to drop the curtain
and have an entr acte. The Drocti-
cally continuous play will be due. III
It comes into being, to various caus-
es. There Is, among other things. a
tendency for people to 60 to revues

a matter Of fact, officials assert even
the most radical leaders knew that 1t

local disturbances. The, farmers
were melted to take UP arms with

said, by playing upon their fears.
It was represented to the farmers

that millions of men working for

states and that the movement could
not fail to result in an overthrow of

which destroyed this place seven
years ago, ragged yesterday just north
of Rainy River. Ont, across the river
from Baudette. ~.
Brush fires, famed by strong

Of life has been reported and the
wind has subsidized and the danger is
over for the present.
The Engler mill was located a mile
down the Rainy river on the Ameri-

were burned. ra
Two men and a woman were badly
hurt when two automobiles collided
in dense smoke. Another man was
hurt jumping from the second story

The fires have been burning all

demanded a few months later; so we
prepare in mid winter, for our COM
forts during the heated period of
summer.
The plan of universal military
training as outlined in the Chamber
lain bill would make available at all
times, millions of young men who
have had sufficient military training
to enable them to become excellent
soldiers with a few weeks of addi-
tional training. This would safe
guard the nation and prepare it
against any contingency that would
probably arise. and II one should
never arise, the training and dis
cipline would be the very best ex-
perience that any young man could
have. It would make him stronger
physically, more alert mentally.
quicker to see and to act. Also, it
would increase his earning capacity
and give him better chance to win
success in his life work. Our boys
appreciate this. ! think the majority
of them would be glad to take the
training.
War is. a calamity beyond descrip-
ton. We are sorry that any OF our
young men should be compelled to
engage In it, but there are some
things worse than war. and one would
be to have our country dominated by
a foreign poverty a rule of ruth
less militarism that counts war as a
regular business.
Since the boys may at any time
be called upon to defend our country
and our flag, we owe 1t to them to
provide them with a careful pre-
training so that they may perform
this important national function both
efficiently and as safely as possible.
We must not be asleep at the switch.
The responsibility is up to the AM
erican citizen and the voters OF this
country to demand the passage OF
the Chamberlain bill or some similar
measure by congress at its next ses-
sion. 1t has already been postponed
too long. It's time now for action.

SAVED BY DUCKS
Attacking Party Discover
ed When Unusual Flight
Of Birds Investigated

With British Forces in SalonikI.-
Correspondence of The Associated
Press -This is the story Of how
the ducks of Kale-zir gave the warn
ing and saved a British detachment
When the Bulgars left their native
Businesses and came down into the
plains. their advance was halted by
certain famous river and a his
toric lake. A British company was
holding the Upper lake, for it was di-
vided into two parts connected by
the river. The company was charg-
ed with responsibility for the upper
lake and five miles of the connecting
stream as far as Kale-Zir. They had
absolute command Of the lake, thanks
to the motorboats, and a crossing
there was inconceivable, but the riv-
er flowed through a maze of reeds
and swamps and forests, most parts
Of which appeared absolutely i'm
penetrable from the British side. A
feeling of comparative safety per-
vaded the British camp.
Then one evening the orderly on
Ger set out from the camp on his
bicycle to visit two outposts up the
1AFGl N"O AulLCS 4AOAIl AAlC
camp. 1t was very dark. AS he
neared the sentry, he heard the
movement of wings, and distinguish
ed flock after flock Of ducks flying
from their night rest among the
reeds. 49,
Looks odd", he remarked to the
sentry. Then to a sergeant, 'Tll take
one man, sergeant, and Wen cycle
down the path and have a look.
The path ran a quarter of a mile
along the marsh and then died an
abrupt death in a sitting fence of
reeds. The officer and his orderly
dismounted and listened. They could
discern over in the swamp a long
line of men in single file
Back at the picket post, the order
ly sent man to warn the camp,
while he remained behind to keep
the enemy raiders under observa-
ton.
The raiders were 200 strong, under
command of German officer. They
kept to the path until just before IT
came into a clearing. Then they
halted and prepared to attack. They
got into a loose sort of open order
ent the British officer fired four
shots. Immediately a light over the
British camp appeared. The glare
was dazzling. There was mo-
ments silence and then a roar Of
fire. It was complete surprise. The
raiders were punched close. and
must have had fifty casualties in the
first fusillade. They made no at
tempt to resist, but flung everything
away and made for the maize fields.
The first person picked up was the
German officer In charge Of the en-
terprise, who had been hit in the
thigh. Altogether there were twen-
ty-five dead and thirty-eight wound
ed, while thirty-five more surrend-
cred during the morning at different
places and more kept giving them
selves UP for several days. Prob
ably not more than five or six ever
got back to the Bulgar lines.

;(By VIM. WrisIey, Jr., chioago.)
How fortunate it would have been
had we adopted universal military
training five or ten years ago. 1t
would have meant much in the pres
ent crisis-it probably would have
kept us out of the war. But it's no
use to cry over split milk. The ques-
ton is, what shall we do now? Every
thoughtful man must feel that a ma
ton unable to protect itself promptly
is blind to the tragic possibilities Of
it's heedlessness. War comes unex-
pectedly and, as in our own case, it
is sometimes forced upon an limo
cent bystander". For three years we
submitted to insult and injury, until
fcrbearance ceased to be virtue and
there was nothing left for US but to
assert our rights and to defend them.
No country in the world hates war
more than we do. Only extreme
provocation would induce us to take
up arms. Experience shows abund-
antly that a peace-loving nation is
not safe because of that fact. Bel
gium and some Of the Balkan states
are evidence of it.
AS the world Is constituted, and
has been through thousands of years
Of strife. there is only one safe plan,
and that is to follow the advice of
Washington-in time Of peace, pre-
pare for war. If we had done this a
few years ago, we would have saved
billions OF dollars and tens Of thou
sands of lives. II is common knowl-
edge in military circles that trained
men, by knowing how to take care Of
themselves in camp and in the field,
reduce the mortality and casualties
at least two thirds, and, what is
even more vital, men of special
training only can be used in modern
warfare.
Nationally, we need a little fore
sight; q keener appreciation OF the
necessity for providing for future
cortingencies We cut ice in the
coolest sort of weather when nobody
wants ice. for we know 1T will be
