Boy, Under Draft Age, Did Not Wait for Call to the Colors-He Rushed
 in to Serve Uncle Sam.

for Call to the CO1OrS-He Rushed
 in to Serve Uncle Sam.
 New Britain, Conn.
 Aug. 13, 1917 To the Editor of the Herald:-
 I sent you the clipping of my sons enlistment in Co. I. If all young men had the same spirit there would be no need of the draft, for he is some years under the draft law. When the call came he said he was not going to wait to be drafted. We let him go, asking Gods blessing to go with him. It isn't only the Germans who are protesting against this war. It is surprising to hear remarks of Amer ican people, I attended a meeting in one of our churches, and heard 0 prominent member Of the church stand up and say not one dollar of his money would go toward this war. That God teaches up to Hove our enemies" If the enemy invaded this country how much money would they leave him and what would become of his family? He. ought to thank God that he is in this country, away from the enemy. We are proud of our boy, only IS. but true American, and I feel that he is serving God, as we'll as his country.

DEPOSED CAR HAD
VAST ARMY OF SPIES
Provisional Government Publishes
Lists Containing $4,000
Names In All.

Petrograd.-Thirty-t three long lists of
spies, informers and agents provoca-
teurs in ex-Emperor Nicholas pay have
been published by the commission for
securing the new system of govern
ment appointed by the provisional gov
eminent Immediately after the revolu-
ton. Fifty more lists may be expected.
The total number of these secret legion
aries of autocracy is expected to reach
10000. Those whose guilt is beyond
doubt have been put in jail, but it is
not yet settled whether they will be
tried and punished or merely kept in
jail until oil peril ofreactionary coun-
ter revolution has passed.
The commissions reports depict pre-
cisely the same system Of espionage
and state provocation to crime as -four
ished in Turkey under Abdul Hamid II.
The distinction is that Abdul Hamfd
ran his spy and provocation system d.
rectly from the Yildiz kiosk, whereas
Nicholas intrusted his system to the no.
torious "okhrannoe otdielenie," or Sc
curity department, which occupied
big building in the Basil Ostrov dis
trict.
The first act of the triumphant revo-
lutionaries was to seize the security de-
partments secret papers. Many OF
these were burned in bonfires outside
the building. The more precious docu-
ments, especially those relating to the
state organization of crime, had been
kept in safes. and they escaped destruc-
ton. The revolutionaries also seized
tens of thousands of secret records in
the departments provincial offices, and
from these. backed by confessions Of
imprisoned spies, are being compiled
the lists The lists will be followed by
FIVE volume official History of
Espionage Under Nicholas H."
Every spy had "klitchka," or nick
name, by which he was known to the
police. The departments records bris-
tie with such nicknames as "Fatty,"
"Longnose," Sunday Boy" "Ele-
plant" and arsenic" The spy had
also two or three faxed surnames, and
he often changed his town and name
when he fell under the revolutionaries'
suspicion.
Many spies and informers dixie the
famous Father Gapon. whose treachery

ing hanged by a revolutionist engi-
neer) were at one time genuine revo-
lutionaries and became later betrayers
and informers. Some seem to have
served both sides honestly and earned
the approval of both, and some do not
seem to have known which side they
sympathized with.

 comparison with that of any other.
 = The list of the eminent who passed away in 1916 is not longer or shorter thar that of the previous year. When
 think of the huge roll of the slain of all ranks among the belligerent nations of Europe it seems small in proportion. The aged Emperor of Austria naturally heads any list of the years eminent dead. Car men Sylva, as the departed Queen of Ru- mania liked to be called, happily died be- fore her country's sad affliction. Death has taken away many authors, notably Echegaray, the Spaniard; Sienkiewicz, the Pole, and Verhaeren, the Belgian; Henry James, Richard Harding Davis, James Whitcomb Riley. and Jack London.
 Journalists of wide repute who passed |away were George w. Smalley. Horace White, and Paul Leroy -Beaulieu. Perhaps the last two named might better be de- scribed as publicists, but they honored journalism by their services to it. Amer |ican art suffered immeasurably by the deaths of three of our famous painters. w. M. Chase, H. w. Rangef. and w. G.

From the New York Sun.
 the rank of field marshal of France = lost the luster which the achieve ments of Davous, Massena, Murat, Ney, Bessieres, Junot, Lannes and other fa- nous generals of Napoleon had shed upon it. Marshal Bazaine tainted the coveted title. The brave and high minded McMahon was a disappointment in the hour of need. It was war in which no soldier could carry baton in his knap- sack. But there was a second lieutenant at the front whom destiny had chosen to command the armies of France in the greatest war in all history, and the grade of field marshal is now revived to honor him.
 Joseph Jacques Cesaire Joffre won his baton at the battle of the Marne, on which far flung field he arrested and turned back the German advance and saved Paris and France, It is true that his subordinates did the actual fighting, but Napoleon was indebted to Desaix, Lannes and Bessieres for his victory at Marengo, and Davous clinched victory at Wagram by turning the enemys left The strategy of the battle of the Marne was Joffre's, and he planned the bringing up of endorsements to outnumber the

Need More Politicians

What the state of Alabama needs more than anything else is more politic- fans and less statesmen said Charles J. Allison, clerk of the federal court yes terday. Alabama has lost the federal reserve bank; we have lost the farm loan bank, and we may lose the armor plate plant What we need in this state is a few men in Congress who can make a trade or two and get us results.
 Now I understand that we stand a good chance to get the nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals. As a matter of fact, the location of the nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals is not so much credit to the state of Alabama due to the fact that we had many outside influences at work for us. and in addition we had all the argument in our favor. Alabama was unquestion- ably the place for the plant and, there fore, was entitled to it.

FIELD MARSHAL JOFFRE

Germans at every point of contact And his was the responsibility of carrying on the great war for two desperate years and ordering everything at the front; and what a strain 1t has been! A single false judgment, as in the sanguinary ana critical fighting to hold verdun, and all would have been lost.
 Napoleon made his marshals peers and kings; Bernadotte, King of Sweden; Mu- rat, King of Naples; Bessieres, Duke of Istria; Junot, Duke of Abrantes; Mas sena, Prince of Essling; Davous, also prince, after his victory at Eckmuhi. There will be no such exaItation for Joffre in republican France today, and he will not have the trappings nor sur- round himself with the splendors that dis tinguished the peasants and plebeians who came to be Napoleon's field mar shals.
 It will be plain, simple, methodical Joseph Joffre to the end, fond of fish, ing from punt in winding French stream, and always averse to show and glitter. His greatness will be measured has taken all the ma~ts~' -'1
 war. In the gallant ana hoNea pany of French marsh s tQsfAt

HOTEL LOBBIES
Picture shows in Canada

During the Christmas holidays, which spent in Canada, was very much im- pressed with the moving picture and theatrical situation in Toronto" said Mrs. Shirley Harris yesterday
 T went to The Regent movie theatre, and it is one of the most wonderful theatres I've lever seen. A large sym phony orchestra is maintsjned, and there are two tremendous balconies besides the orchestra The dressing room for ladies and the smoking room for men are elabo- rately decorated in ivory white and black, with beautiful furniture and every lux ury provided. The play was Oliver Twist which I had seen here just be- fore left, with little Marie Doro in the title role.
 Movie fans will be interested, I'm sure, to know that I saw Eugene O'Brien, one of the screens greatest favorites, in legitimate drama. He was with Marie Tempest in Her Husbands Wife and he is so thoroughly Canadian that it is very difficult to understand him, his English accent is so pronounced. Laura Hope Crews was also in the cast, and she wears the most stunning gowns. The Idle Hour theatre is another palace. you might say as far as architecture and decorations are concerned, and I was greatly impressed with the generous patronage of~ the Canadians at all the theatres. Through snow and ice, sleet and rain, they trudged, and at the nov ing picture, where the regular price of 10 cents is augmented to 12 cents the extra cents being war tax), there were hundreds in the audience who en- joyed not only Oliver Twist, but a movie comedy and short love story and two acts of vaudeville"

GERMAN SCHEME OF WAR

The Earl of Cromer. in the January Yale
 Review.
 Consider the defects of absolutism as compared with those of democracy. They are glaring. In all matters of detail. ab- solutism has excelled. In all the larger issues which eventually dominate the des- tinies of nations, it has proved huge failure The highest scientific research, untiring and patient imaginable contin- gency which it was thought could occur. were all combined for years with a total absence of moral scruple in order to pro- duce the most powerful machine the world has ever known, which was intended to give effect to the long cherished and ann bilious schemes of Germany Individual ism was crushed out of existence. Ger mans, and notably Prussians, were stand ardized They were taken in hand by a paternal and absolutely omnfpotent gov- ernment from their cradles, and the grip was not for one moment relaxed till they were laid in their graves. All alike were indoctrinated with fervent but narrow- minded patriotism. which connoted hatred and arrogant contempt for everything which was not German. All were taught to believe that might should prevail over right. All had instilled into them from their earliest childhood the idea that it was the manifest destiny of Germany to rule and to regenerate the world. and that this ideal could only be realized by passive obedience to authority, and notably by blind devotion to the auto cratic will of the Hohenzollerns.
 The plan seemed to be without flaw. Every precaution was taken to prevent the German mind from being tainted with ideas which might in any way have inter- fered with the smooth working of the gi- gantlc machine. The press was fettered. Parliamentary. government was reduced to farce. The erudite, but narrow minded and politically very inept repre- sentatiyes of German thought were suc- cessful1y harnessed to the absolutist car. A r~ vet vhen the whole huge fabric was
