Some, though very few, cannot see
eloquence in Abraham Lincoln's Get

es place him in class with our first
orators. Not only so, but he had to
remarkable degree. the gift of eIo-
quence The two following excerpts
are worthy to go with his Gettysburg
speech:
A Prophets Voice
Turn now to the temperance revolu-
ton In it We shall find a stronger
bondage broken, a viler slavery manu-
mitted greater tyrant deposed; in
it more of want supplied. more of dis
ease healed, more sorrow assuaged.
BY it no orphans starving. no wild.

will have glided into other occupa.

And what a noble ally his to the
cause of political freedom; with such
an aid its march cannot fail to be
on and on, till every son of earth shall
drink in rich fruition the sorrow
quenching draughts of perfect liberty.
And when The victory shall be com
plete-when there shall be neither a
slave nor a drunkard on earth-how
proud the title of that land which may
truly claim to be the birthplace and
The cradle of both those revolutions
that shall have ended in victory, How
nobly distinguished that people who
shall have planted and nurtured to
maturity both the political and moral
freedom of their species!
This was delivered by Abraham
Lincoln before the Westinghouse at
Springfield, H. February p. 1922.
We Shall Not Fail
If ever | feel the soul within me ell,
evate and expand to those dimensions
not wholly unworthy OF its Almighty
Architect. it is when I contemplate
the cause of my country. deserted by
all the world beside. and l standing
up boldly and alone and hurting de-
fiance at her victorious oppressors
Here, without contemplating conse-
quences, before high heaven, and in
the face of the world, swear eternal
fidelity to the just cause, as I deem it,
OF the land of my life, my liberty. and
my love.
And who that thinks with me will
not fearlessly adopt the oath that
take?
Let none falter who thinks he is
right, and we may succeed. But if
after all, we shall fail, be it so, we
still shall have the proud consolation
of saying to our consciences and to
the departed shade of our country S
freedom that the cause approved of
our judgment. and adored of our
hearts, in disaster. in chains, in tor.

FRENCH TO SEND
 BATTLE. EXPERTS
 HERE TO TEACH
FOrty-tWo Officers From Front to Aid Instructors at
 CantOnmentS.

Washington, Aug. 13-The French War Office has designated a sufficient number of officers who have had ex- perience in front line Sfighting so. the AZ cantonment camps in the United States will have tt least one each. This was learned at the War Department today The officers will be assign ed to particular divisional camps by the War Department.
 In addition France already has fur nished specialists in several branches of warfare, aviation, artillery, etc., for the instruction of American of- fcers, some of whom are attached temporarily to the War College in Washington. / At the present time a number of National Guard officers are undergoing special instruction there. These officers, it is believed, will be attached to the staffs of the Major General who will command the di- visional camps and instruct both the National Guard and the National Army in modern methods.
 It was learned also that the plans of the War Department call for 16 weeks intensive training of the Ma tional Guard and the National Army. Another period of training after, the troops reach France is contemplated, but whether the soldiers will be transferred to France immediately af- ter completing their 16 weeks instruc- ton and training in the American camps is not stated.
 The special instruction being given to the National Guard officers picked men from the several states, at the War College in Washington covers the entire physical field of land warfare as it has developed in Europe. Most of the instruction, including a large number of pamphlets, prepared by the War College with the assistance of French and British information, is confidential, and the officers have enjoined from discussing their instruc- tions with civilians.

TROLLEY STRIKE IN KANSAS CITY
 NEAR DECISION
Traction Go. Grants Practi- cally All Claims of 2,000
 Employees.

Kansas City, Aug. 1a-The next move in the traction strike which be- gan here last Wednesday, when more than 1000 employees of the Kansas City Railway Co. quit work, tieing transportation so completely that not 9 car has run since, was placed today squarely before the strikers.
 Following a conference between the street railway officials and their dissatisfied employees lasting far into last night the company presented a tentative proposal to the men which, along general lines conformed to their demands. Reinstatement of discharged employees and recognition of the mems organization were the cardinal points embodied in the pro- pesal. The traction company offered to re-emp1oy men discharged after Aug 1 of this year and would not discriminate against employees be- cause of union affiliations. The strik- CTS reply is expected today.
 More than 60O strike breakers, de- ported from the. city yesterday by strike sympathizers, were held in Selza, Mo, Is miles east of here. to- day. I
 On request by the strike breakers taht they be allowed to leave the city, Chief of Police F1ahive,a led thefn through a street lined with jeering spectators to the Union station, where they remained on board a train until their departure 12 hours later. Os- tensibly the men left for St. Louis, and no explanation was made for their atop at Selza. ..-,,a....
 Charges that the police department openly sided with the strikers were made today by President Kealy and other officials, of the traction com pany. Col. Kealy also charged that the fire department allowed the crowd to burn four street cars. Chief Flahive and other city officials denied the charges.

KAISER SEES PEACE
 PACT IN 3 MONTHS

Petrograd, Aug. 13-The cores pondent of the Novoe Vremya,, tele- graphing from the Riga front said that on the recent visit to the Kaiser to that front he addressed the sol- diers, telling them that peace pact would be signed within three months
 It is believed here that the visit was the prelude to naval operations in the Gulf of Riga and along the Finnish coast.
 Berne, Aug. 1f-In order to in crease the German war output and prepare for peace, said a telegram from Berlin, General Hroener has or dered a census of all the industrial concerns in Germany.
 Basic, Aug 11-German newspa- pers regard as highly significant an imperial frescript, just made public, accepting Vice-Chancellor Helfferich' s resignation as Secretary of State for the interior, but requesting him to re- main in office as vice-chancellor Ito carry out most important duties the details of which will be announced later.''
 This is accepted as an indication that Dr. Helfferich is to be called upon to preside over the committee to be formed for the purpose of car rying out the preliminary peace work.

ordered evacuated. The inhabitants were forced to set out with nothing but the clothes they wore. There were the usual scenes of wanton destruc- ton and witful defilement; no women were spared the customary accom- paniment of a Turkish visitation.
 "Gaza having been piIlaged, it was proposed to carry out the same pro- gram at Jerusalem. The head not ables, however, protested that, having seen the exhibition in Gaza they pre- ferred to chance the risks of war to enduring the certain agony of a forced evacuation. This answer and protest displeased the pasha so much that he promptly had the deputation transport to Anato1ia and is taking special meas ures to see that his scheme for loot ing Jerusa1emi is not hindered by or ganized passive resistance among the inhabitants"

UNIFORM RULES FOR
 EXEMPTIONS NEEDED

Boston, Aug. 13-Chairmen of the district exemption boards of Massa- chusetts met at the state house today to draw up uniform rules of procedure for the use of local boards in arriving at decisions on claims for exemption. Much confusion has arisen as result of different interpretations of the draft rules by boards in various towns and cities. Some of the local boards have refused exemption to many mar ried men with children while others have granted similar claims Physi- clans on different boards also have been at variance in their decisions as to what constitutes physical disability y..

SCHOLAR AND POET LEAD UKRAINlANS'
 SECESSION MOVE

Petrograd, Aug. 13-Leaders of the Ukrainian quasi-secessionist move ment, which involves the fate of south and southwest Russia from -Galicia to the Caucasus with at least 20,000.000 inhabitants. are the scholar and historian, Professor Gtushevski and the novelist and poet, 'Vinnich- enko. Grushevski is the brain and organizing talent of the secession. Vinnitchenko furnished the fire and inspiration.
 Gruskevski, who is 61 years old, virtually created the modern Ukrain- ian cultural movement. For 28 years he played towards the Ukraine the role which Count Etisnne Ezechenyi played in the renascence of ungary. 0rushevski's dominant aim is the union of the Russian Ukraine Uk- raine with Ruthenian East Galicia, which is inhabited by the same race. From Lemberg where he taught as professor, he extended his propa- gandist activities to Russia, founded the, famous little Russian Literary and Scientific Review" issuing par allel editions in Lemberg and Kieff, and in hundreds of lectures, pamph- lets and articles preached Ukrainian union.
 Grushevski is one of Europes most learned men. He is a sober and eau tious polemist; and his leadership is invaluable in a movement which is largely controlled by unrestrained enthusiasts. /.
 Such an enthusiast is Yinnitchenko. Vinnitchenko was born in 1880;' be- gan his propagandist activities while still student at Kieff; and was ex- pelled from the university. Being called up for army service-the au- tocracy's usual punitive measure against revolutionary students-he fled abroad.
 After that he began literary work which made him famous throughout the Ukraine and Russia. He devel- oped markedly individualist views proclaiming personal freedom to the point of anarchy. His novel, Hon esty With Ones Self,'' so shocked the readers of Grushevski's review that publication had to be discontinued Vinnitchenko's views, the best known of which are set forth in 'The Lie and '"The Black Panther" express the same idea-that a mans first duty is ito become himself"
 The revolution found Vinnitchenke in Kieff. He abandoned literature elected vice president of the secession ist Supreme Council, and started The Labor Gazette. As orator, Vinnitch. enko is very effective, but he is ex- alted and careless about facts.

EUR0PE'S PEACH DEPENDS ON THE| AUTOGRAPHS FALL
HOhenzOllerns and Hapsburgs Must Follow Lead
 of Car.

Geneva, Aug 13-"The Hohenzol- lerns and the Hapsburgs must go in order to have a durable peace in Europe" declared Jean Sigg, member of the Swiss National Council, chief of the Socialists in Geneva an. one of the most influential members of his party in Switzerland, in an interview with The Associated Press cores pondent
 '+The hour of the Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs has sounded, ,"-he con- tinued. 'The tide of democracy which Is sweeping across Europe will also sweep them away, not, perhaps, during the war, but soon afterward. Millions of men will not agree, will not allow in futu1 e., that their destin- les, their lives, should be ruled by handful of autocrats. In this sense this terrible war has wrought good; it has opened the eyes of the people. The Russian Emperor has gone, more Emperors will follow"
 MT. Sigg has the greatest faith in new Russia, if allowed to rebuild it's own regeneration without foreign, es- pecially German influence. He con- sfders the Stockholm Conference more or less a farce owing to the divergent views of the socialist delegates from the different countries. He houts the work at Petrograd of Robert Grimm, the Swiss Socialist who endeavored to make peace between Germany and Russia, who, he says, never repre- sented Swiss socialism and who acted like Hoffmann on his own authority without consulting his colleagues"
 German socialists with few ex- captions" said MT. Sigg, have betrayed international socialism by following like a flock of sheep in the footsteps of German Junkerism, but they are now beginning to awake from their false dream.
 Though. like all Swiss. ardently wish for peace, don't see it in sight. A peace treaty now-I saw this as a neutra1-wou1d be all in the favor of Germany, a status quo ante. The AL lies. backed now by America, rightly will not permit this in the cause of justice and humanity. The social questions. after the war will be diff suit to solve-but wait first until the war is finished"
