Huron Presbytery at Huron, Ohio,
and he was there from 1873 to 1878
preaching in the churches at Elmore,
Genoa and Greytown until 1886, when
he went to Tyndall, in the territory OF
Dakota, until 1891 when he returned
again to this group of churches, to

Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack had
some histrionic ability, but Wild Bill,
apparently, was qualified only for a
thinking part. Colonel Cody. in his
autobiography has this note concern
ing his brother scout in the play re-
ferred to: Although he had fine
Itage appearance, was'a handsome fell
low and possessed good, strong
voice, vet when he went upon the
stage before an audience it was al
most impossible for him to utter a
word. He insisted we were making
q set of fools of ourselves and that we
were the laughing stock Of the peo-
ple." Yet this man had faced a howl
ing mob of whites and band of hos
tile Indians with perfect selfcompos-
ure, and had held his ground.

Springfield Republican,: The Repub--
lican has received from correspondents
somewhere in England the following
account of his own troubles in trying
to do business as usual:
when / was last in the states told
you something about war conditions
in England. That was in 1915. don I
remember much of what l said. but
do remember saying that the slogan,
Business as usual which was then so
popular in England, had no 'swank'
about it. Well, it hadn't then chiefly,
/ suppose, because Englishmen did not
know what was in store for them. No
more is there any 'swank' about 1t now,
nor Is there any Business as usual
Those businesses which have sur
vived and which have been allowed to
live are carrying on as best they can
under most difficult conditions: Manu-
facturers have lost their help. shops
clerks, etc., and in many instances
manufacturers. shopkeepers and bust
ness men themselves, to say nothing
of their STATS, have Joined the colors.
have soft time. Prices are high, rail-
way facilities are badly dislocated and
ships at premium.
Take it in my own case. Steamers
which came to our little shipping port
of X. in pre-war days come only at
rare intervals now. Many of them have
been requisitioned by the government.
EOther steamers will not look at carS
goes except at high rates of freight,
and when one charters one of these one
never knows whether 1t will stay above
water to get to X. If it is fortunate
enough to escape German submarines
it may be requisitioned by the govern
ment.
"If one charters a steamer and gets
| ones cargo into railway trucks in all
ticipation of her coming so as to pro-
vide the proper dispatch when she
| comes to hand. the chances are that
something. will happen to her and
| then one is left with a fat demurrage
or siding rent account to pay. On the
other hand, IL one does not get ones
| cargo down to the port before the
steamer arrives, demurrage. is quite
likely to be incurred through failure
to load the steamer in the time stip-
have you both ways.
''The same sort of thing happens
sometimes nowadays through delays on
the railway. For instance, may dis
patch a few hundred tons by rail to w.
to be shipped by the Dominion line, or

from some port north of here. There

People are starving in the warning

This is about half the population;
they get one meal day, which is three

100000 people in Serbia are unable to

THE CRIME OF TREASON.

New York Sun: The crime Of
treason is defined by the constitution:
Treason against the United
States shall consist only in levy
ing war against them. or in adj
herring to their enemies, giving
them aid or comfort.
Two conditions are necessary: An
actual state OF war, and citizenship on
the part Of the traitor who breaks his
allegiance and gives aid and comfort
to the nations enemies. There must be
war to make treason possible. The
crime can be committed only by one
who owes allegiance.
Even a conspiracy to subvert the
government by force is not treason"
unless war is levied.
The maximum penalty for treason
against the United States is death.
The purpose OF the constitutional
and statutory provisions on this sub
ject is to prevent oppression by the
prosecution of citizens. no matter
how obnoxious their attitude, toward
the government, on charges of con
structive'' treason.
There is no war today; technically
the United States government has no
enemies and there can therefore be no
treason.
In the present aspect Of affairs it is
well to keep these things clearly in
mind.
When Eugene v. Debs, night before
last, urged the workers of the coun-
try to declare a nationwide strike in
case our government went to war he
was not committing treason. The
same advice, uttered five hours or five
minutes after the beginning of war,
would bring Debs' neck into possible
relation with the hangTnan's knot.
When Oswald q. Willard, night be-
fore last, at Pittsburgh, before the
National Federation OF Religious
Liberals, denounced the plans for MILF
tary preparedness, he was not guilty
of treason. Even IL war had begun II
might be debatable whether the aid
and comfort he was giving the ma
TONS enemies was Of such a char
acter as to render him liable to pun
ishment for the crime of treason. With
or without d state Of war. however
and with or without evidence Of Mr..
Wizards citizenship, there could be no
doubt Of his guilt Of the crime of dam
foOfishness

a break occurred in the friendship Of
Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill, and that
they were enemies for many years. In

both, written by a friend and and adj
mirer of the two men many years ago;
Buffalo Bill, who now stands un-
CHALLENGED ais the greatest plainsman

Water power in the Alps will soon
be used in Paris. Also power from the
Pyrenees. The needs of war and the
coal famine have set the genius of
France at work to get the power,
light, and heat that are running to
waste along her borders. In 1914
France was using but Is per cent of
her water power. After two years of
war she was using 20 per cent. This
has since increased. She could have
4,600,000 horse power from her falls
during low water and twice as much
in high water. She was using only 81
500, 600 steam horse power before the
war, mainly from costly coal. A dam
225 feet high In the Rhone, backing
the water fourteen miles to the Swiss
line will cost 120,000.00O francs and
supply $4,000 horse power to Paris,
312 miles distant. This is about equal
to the cost OF the war to France in
36 hours.
