SOLDIERS ACTIVITIES LIMITED.
Initiating Bugle Calls of Enemy Quite
Legitimate.

Tit-Bits: Initiating the bugle calls Of
the enemy is quite legitimate; so is the
wearing of their uniform, with one res.
ervation. A soldier may not fire on the
enemy while so attired. But he may
advance or retreat build bridges and
perform any other military operations
short of actual fighting, using the uni
form as a means of deception.
A soldier may spy as much as he
likes. If he worms his way into the
enemy's lines he is only doing his duty
and. If captured there, may not be pun
ished beyond being taken an ordinary
prisoner. provided he is wearing uni
form. If he is in any kind Of disguise
he may be shot.
In the course of his spying he may
kill as many OF the enemy as he can.
When he approaches the sentries he
may stab them in the dark, or use any
trick to throw them off their guard eS-
cept one. He may not say friend" if
the sentry challenges him unless, Of
course, he intends to surrender).
Similarly, If suddenly attacked. he
may not use any words to make the
enemy believe that he is friend in
disguise, and so take him unawares.

1T WOUL DHAVE BEEN DEFEAT
FOR GERMANY

Cincinnati Times-Star: In 1862 the
house Of Hohenzollern. hard pressed by
its enemies, was saved by the death OF
a czarina and consequent reversal
Of position by the Russian government.
II now appears that the Hohen-
zollerns, in the spring Of 1917, have
again been ssved by a sudden change
in Russia. If there is anything plain
in the war situation on the continent
of Europe today, It is that IL Russia
possessed an army comparable TO the
great force which Brussiloff led into
Galicia last year, Germany would now
be well on her way TO a decisive de-
feat in the west.
The French and British armies ar-
at a high point Of efficiency; their
morale is splendid; they have all the
material equipment needed 10 produce
victory In modern war. The allied
artillery Is really marvellous in lts
efficiency.
A few weeks ago the drive eastward
from Arras gave promise Of immediate
and sweeping victory. Then suddenly

great forces from the east TO use them
in stiffening their lines in the west.
II the Germans, with these reinforce
ments. have been only able to create
deadlock. no particularly keen
Imagination Is required TO picture
what would have occurred II the Ger.
man high command had been forced to
keep its former proportion OF first and
second line men in the east.
IL Is possible that Russia's military
demoralization will not last long.
France gained great fighting momen-
tum under revolutionary conditions,
and II may be that revolutionary Rus
sia Will be similarly inspired. Many
well informed men believe that while
Russia is in danger OF anarchy. even
in anarchy she win not make sepa-
rate peace.
In any event, the developments IN
Russia have added greatly to our re-
sponsibllities in the war. We shall now
have TO carry on a fight which, with
Russia actively an effectively n
the war, would probably have been
over before next winter

HAWAII WILL FEED ITSELF.
To Be Practically Independent
Mainland rs to FOodstuffs.

Hawaiian Topics Hawaii will be prac-
tically independent Of the mainland OF
the United States, as far as foodstuffs
! are concerned, the managers OF the
large plantations and estates through
out the islands having signified their
intention of making early preparation
{ for the planting of food products. This
, was done following Governor Lucius u.
Pinkhams proclamation in early April
directing plantation men that their as
sistance is necessary In the production
of food supply sufficient to support
the entire population Of the Islands
without any help from the mainland
In response to this suggestion, Eva
plantation, one Of the largest sugar
estates on the island of Oahu, took
I'D the problem with the federal ex'
pertinent station and has made APP
plication for certain food products.
These will be planted and expert
ments will be made to determine
whether they are suitable TO be grown
in large quantities The same degree
of cooperation has been manifested
by large corporations on the Islands
of Hawaii, Manu- and Kauai. During
the early days of the settlement OF the
Hawaiian, then the Sandwich islands,
considerable attention was given 10
the raising Of potatoes and other
vegetables, large shipments being for-
warded TO California.

MANSFIELD TALKS OF

Last night large crowd heard Evan

Mr.. Mansfield's subject was The Bless
ings in the Church and How to Get Into
the Church." Mr.. Mansfield showed
that all institutions have certain bless.
ings that each offers TO It's membership.
If one wants to enjoy rne blessings of
any institution he must be a faithful
member. SO if one desires to enjoy the
blessings of Christianity he must be a
faithful member of the church. THE
body of Christ is the church, says Paul
in the Ephesian letter. Salvation. re.
demption and all spiritual blessings are
in the church OF Christ, which is His
body. Then to get in one must be
taught must hear, must learn and then
he can come. In order to come one
must believe in Christ. repent of his
SINS confess Christ before men and be
baptized into Christ for the remission
Of his sins. These things put one into
Christ or His body or church." the
evangelist said. Tonight Mr.. Mansfield

NATIONS EYES ON
The SOUTHWEST
Great Producing Territory Ex-
pectedto Subscribe to Its Full
Quota Of Liberty Bonds.
OF the $2,0OO,OOO,OOO at Least
$500,000,0 600 Will be Spent
In This District.

Kansas City, Mo-, June.-The South
west must play an important part in
the Great War with its men and its
money. Its patriotism in supplying
men already has been demonstrated.
Its patriotism in furnishing dollars is
to be judged by its response in the
Liberty Loan campaign.
Probably the most resourceful Sec
tion of the United States, the seven
states comprising the Tenth Federal
Reserve Bank District, must raise
from 100 to 125 million dollars as their
subscription to the Liberty Loan fund.
But four or five times the amount
that is asked Of the Southwest will
be. spent in the same section for oil
and minerals, grain, stock, lumber and
manufactured articles-products Of
every field, forest and factory must
supply the wartime demand that guar,
antees prosperity to this section dur.
ing the critical period.
Judged from purely selfish stand.
point, the Liberty Loan in the South.
west will be 315 per cent investment
with a large part of the principal
500 million dollars on a conservative
estimate-to be returned to producers
and manufacturers in every line OF
business in this section.
But the people of the Southwest are
not selfish in matters that affect the
welfare Of the country as vitality as
this great emergency. Upon the pa.
triotism of its citizens the government
has mainly relied in floating the 2
billion-dollar bond issue.
Every man in this district is within
reach Of banker who will explain the
Liberty Loan plan and the manner in
which Liberty Bonds may be bought.
No charge is made by bankers in
handling the bonds, and every cent
invested not only will mean a good
return to the holder but will aid ma
terially in bringing the war TO
speedy close.
The situation is critical The South.
vests men who have offered their
lives must be equipped with the most
modern devices Of war in plentiful
supply so that they may sell their
lives as dearly as possible. The Lib
erty Loan will serve that purpose. and
In the subscription Of their dollars
many citizens who cannot go to the
front may display the same spirit OF
patriotism that prompts others to Of.
Ter their lives.

QUARTER LATIN IN WAR TIME.

Cartoons Magazines; What has be-
come of the Latin quarter, the gal Quar-
tier Latin, during the war? The students
are all in the armies. and so are the
rapins. The faculties continue their
courses, but the lecture halls are now
invaded by young girls who are pre-
pairing for new professions and occupa-

Gus in Paris than ever, and boys who
have not yet reached military age make
up the rather reduced audiences at the
lectures. Similarly in the great aca.
denies on the left bank Of the Seine,
