REVIVAL is DUE.

Despite the high, cost of labor and
material. railway building is begin
ming to show signs of regeneration in
Kansas Several short lines are under
construction or are projected. The lat
est of these reported is an extension of
the Missouri Pacific from Mcpherson
to Marquette.
The question of Finding New Rail
way Capital" was discussed in re-
cent issue of The Outlook. 1t was
stated that, if traffic continued to in
crease in volume at the rate of the
past few years, there would have to be
found in the next fifteen years twelve
thousand million dollars Of new rail-
way capital, an average of $S00,O0O,-
900 a year. 1t will be recalled that
James J. Hill, several years before
his death, estimated that billion dol
lars a year ought to be put into rail-
way construction to provide for the
transportation needs of the country.
New capital in the volume estimated
by Mr.. Hill as necessary has not been
found In fact, it has been difficult
to provide half a billion a year. AS
Judge Harlan, of the Commerce Com
mission. stated in his minority opin-
ion in the recent fifteen per cent rate
case. the building of new railways has
virtually ceased. Since the St. Paul
built to the Pacific coast no important
new mileage has been projected. The
odds and ends of minor additions bare
ly total a thousand miles a year.
An immense amount of inviting
railway territory remains in the coun-
try, which doubtless will be occupied
Whenever the capital necessary can be
earned or borrowed. The region be-
tween Topeka and Council Grove still
Is open.

for, but she must go thru with it now
The best thing for her to do was to re-
cover that lost memory of hers as soon
as she could. They had no sooner ar
rived at the station than everything
came back to her, and she gave a little
exclamation of delight. The gentle
man was as glad as she was, but he
didn't start right back for Thirty
fourth street. He saw her to the sta
ton and on to her train, and he lifted
his hat in the incest kind of way, and
warmly shook her hand at parting
He was assured over and over again
that her memory was all right, and
he did just what you might expect a
man to do. He took a seat in the
car in the rear, and he road up to
Mount Vernon. or some other nice
small city and followed her at re-
spectful distance until she entered her
mothers home.
And then what? And then Miss
Geraldine didn't come to be an old
maid. 1t was a lark, but it proved to
be happy one, and. if you ever tell

Rogers, about this little plan of

THE PURPOSE OF TRENCH
AND CAMP

With this issue commences the
publication of Trench and Camp"
4 national paper for the National
Guard and the National Army.
Never before in America, and new
err before in the history of the world,
has a paper been published simulta-
neously at 80 points, to give the men
Of great army the same news and
the same message, and through the
medium Of the written word to keep
those men III close and vital touch

% ali their brothers in arms wher-
ever they might be. From Tacoma
in the Northwest to Boston in the
Northeast: from Los Angeles and FL

Orleans; from eighteen. cities in the
South; from Chicago, Battle Creek,
Des Names and Topeka in. the West;
from New York; Trenton, Washing
ton. and Richmond: from L louisville
and Little Rock, there will be issued
once week at least $4,000 copies
Of Trench and Camp" in order that
the rnen who are gathered from these
states, and from all the other states
where no camps are located, may
learn how fares the war in Europe,
and how progress the preparations
Of the United States.
Through ''Trc1ach and Camp" all
the soldiers will be kept informed of
the activities Of the army. They will
have news from home, news from.
the front, news from their own
camps. With the aid of the news
paper publishers who have made this
great work possible by their patriot
ism and their generosity, with the
endorsement of the officials, with the
cooperation in news-g gathering from
the separate interests in the canton
fnents, we hope to make Trench and
Camp" vital, living transcript of
the life of the army that has been
formed to keep alive civilization.
Although Trench and Camp" is
not primarily designed for civilians,
it will still keep as its ideal first and
foremost to be a newspaper. It will
seek 70 print the news, to inform, to
stimulate and 70 help relieve the te-

ism. 1t was en- ideal above all material
gains. 1t was the iHimitable possibilities of
the new birth of freedom. Thus inspired,
that army freed France before Napoleon
was known, overthrow Prussia's discipline,
with the enthusiasm of youth, and humbled
Austria's pride.
When Frances citizen-soldiers caught the
inextinguishable luminance that lighted up
the whole world, they knew they were the
torch-bearers of that radiance. They felt
they were warning for democracy, for free
dom and for humanity. That was why cold
could not chill their ardor nor defeat impair
their morale That was why fey were able
to bear the hardships, to suffer the priva-
tons and to gain the prize of lasting VIC
tory. In the light that never failed, through
doubt and darkness, uncertainty and suffer
ing, they felt as though they we're always

France When our battalions camp on the
field where the hosts of oppression were

eagles Of selfish aristocracies; when out Of
the darkness of his nameless crimes against
the bodies of the living and ab0des Of the
dead, the enemy shall be driven by our
troops-the faces and the banners of our
men will be radiant with the growing light
as they march into the dawn. Into the
dawn Of humanity, into the dawn of dem
ocracy, into the dawn of a day when there
can come no more the terror of such war
as this; into a dawn the brightness Of
which will drive from German hearts the
lust and brutality that made this war pos
sible-into that dawn American soldiers
viii march. The world will envy and ap-
plaud those In whose hearts and about
whose heads will linger forever the glory
Of that dawn.

So to the men of the new army
/ would speak of the new and OF
the old.
The new is only too visible to
them in its material form: the
rough and rOadless hfalsides of their
Camps the crude harsh lines Offfhe
barracks, the raw lumber yet to
be constructed into. housing or
strewn about in the chaos OF f1asty

the new is present there In such
volume and power that from these
camps, soon to be moulded by its
energy, will presently march forth
the strength of the Nation-our
manhood, trained and disciplined
for war.
The new is theirs. They are of
It,. The invisible new world lives
in their heart and brain, and they
will know how to build the future
Of the Nation guided by the fresh
ly Illuminated vision Of our old
ideals. The future Of our country
is as dear to us whose work is near

would have the new Army know
that our hearts are with them and
that we cOnfide the future to them
with proud confidence.
