Rome's Quiet Unbroken.

One of the good stories in circula.
ton is told by Joe Tumulty, secretary
to the president. He likes his job, but
he dislikes one thing about lt-that he
can't tell the boys-the friendly re-
porters-about all they wish to know.
He illustrated his inability to give in
formation once by quoting the case of
Johnny.
Johnny was crying in the hall as
his mother came along, Eatted and
coated. She asked what had happened.
"You are going away; and so is pa
pa" Johnny sobbed.
"Why, child, l shall be away two or
three days, but father is not going
away"

DIVISION REVIEW HELD AT WACO

Soldierp in Parade.

Camp Macarthur, Waco, Texas
rwenty-three thousand Michigan and
Wisconsin officers and men marched
and rode last week in the first division
review held here by General w. G..
Haan. division commander.
Every man able to leave his quar-
tiers was in line. yAll animals. wagons
and other equipment was paraded. The
men wore field service uniforms and
their complete equipment.
With several thousand people gath
cred in Waco to attend the Cotton
Palace exposition. the review was
made more or less OF a society event
as we'll as a military one. Many Mich.
igan women, wives OF officers. made
up a party that was favored with ad.
vantageous seats.
One OF the most impressive things
about the spectacle was the show
ing the selective soldiers made. in
spite OF the fact they had been here
only a few days Marching without
arms. because very few of them have
them. the men presented good lines
and showed a desire to reach the high
standard set by the oldtimers in the
guard ranks.

Display of Nerve.

During the corn show at Petersburg,
md, recently, when all business houses
were crowded with prospective custo-
mers for fall suits, and cloaks, rural
miss entered a store and asked TO see
the various styles in winter cloaks, re-
lates the Indianapolis News. The
saleswoman who had charge of the de-
partment spent almost an hour trying
on the various styles and explaining
the qualities of the goods. Finally a
coat was tried on that just suited the
girl. 1t was just what she was looking
for, she said. When the saleswoman
asked her whether she wished 1t done
up the. girl replied:
"Oh, no, ma'am; / am sending to a
mail order house for a coat just like
the one you showed me, and l wanted
to see If l was going to be cheated"
Apparently satisfied that she had
struck bargain with the mail order
house, the girl left the store. 1t took
the saleswoman several minutes to
realize what had happened, but when
she came to hereslf her prospective
customer had vanished.

LATE EXEMPTIONS HURT CUSTER

Camp Custer, Battle Creek.-The

the flood OF exemptions for men al

illegally. A daily stream OF letters
from the office of the adjutant-gen-

the burdensome work and adding to
the number OF men the organization
has lost
1t seems now that 1000 men of
the first two increments will be dis.
charged for physical disability. The
men who are exempted after they
arrived will make the total discharges
nearly 16 per cent OF the men sent.
The direct cost to the government in
transportation, pay and sustenance
while here will amount to a large sum.
The indirect loss is quite as serious.
because training has been given USE
less man where it might have been
spent on a useful one.
Most OF the men discharged are
exempted for dependency, but there
are cases where men under age have
been sent here. certified by the
boards.
The burden is not all on the divi-
sion by any means. These men have
lost their jobs, wound up their bust
nesses and gotten out of touch with
civilian life, and the financial loss to
these individuals amounts to great
deal

Buffalo.-President Wilson made a
personal and eloquent appeal here
Monday for the full support of organ
lied labor for the government in the
conduct of the war. Speaking before
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, he declared
the war could not be won unless all
factions unite in a common cause,
sinking their differences.
The president paid warm tribute to
Samuel Gompers, president of the fed
Grafton, and virtually called upon the
federation to give him united support.
He denounced pacifists as stupid. He
appealed for cooperation.
Discussing Germany, the president
declared fatty that Germany had
started the war and that he was will
ing to await the verdict of history on
that statement.
The creation of new instrumental
ties for better cooperation between
labor and capital was one suggestion
by the president to be Of prime inter
est to the delegates to the conven-
ton.
The president, while devoting his
address to problems for the people
of the United States, laid emphasis
on the broader phases of the world
conflict in way that seemed to
indicate that his speech was possibly
intended as a message to the people
of Germany, of Austria, and of Rus
STA, as we'll as OF the United States.
He alluded to the present war as
"the last decisive issue between the
old principle of power and the new
principle OF freedom"
81 believe" he said, that the spirit
of freedom can get into the hearts
of Germans and find as fine a well
come there as it can find In any
other hearts. But the spirit OF free
dom does not suit the plans OF the
pan. Germans. Power cannot be used
with concentrated force against free
people If it is used by free people"
"You know" he continued, "how
many limitations come to us from
one of the central powers that It is
more anxious for peace than the
chief central power, and you know
that it means that the people in that
central power know that If the war
ends as it stands they will, in effect,
themselves be vassals of Germany,
notwithstanding that their popula-
tions are compounded of all the
people of that part of the world, and
notwithstanding that they do not wish,
in their pride and proper spirit of
nationality, to be absorbed and domi-
mated"
