A SURGICAL TRIUMPH

Antoine looked down upon thi:
wreck of his son that lay before him
and the wreck, not appreciating thai
he was a surgical triumph, kept sob
bling, kept weeping out of his sight
less eyes, kept jerking his four
stumps in supplication, kept begging
in agony, Kill me, papa!'"
1t is just one of Miss Ellen La
Notes vivid pictures of human
wreckage from the European battle
fields which is portrayed in her re-
cent book, THE Backwash of War.
Antoine was a rich hairdresser of
Paris and had done everything to
keep his young son from the war,
but the call came and the son had
to go. The son was wounded, and
Antoine sent money to get him every
thing he needed. Marvellous opera
tions were performed on him, and
after five months he was turned out
a surgical triumph. Members Of the
hospital staff were very proud of
their work, and the boy was to be
sent to his father, who had not seen
him since he left for the front.
This is just one of the long reel of
war pictures. 1t shows the other side
of war-what it costs. Many have
been killed; many are crippled and
almost worse than dead; many homes
are saddened, and still, after thirty
three months of fighting, the war has
settled nothing. How long will civil
izatiOn stand for such strife?

Echoes of Journalism Week

From the Corn Belt Publisher, Denison
Iowa, official organ Of the Iowa Press
Association.
The most famous school of iourna-
lism in this country is that at the State
University of Missouri, at Columbia.
All the sessions excepting the ban
quets and dinners, were held in Switz-
Ter Hall, the now famous old building
that was designated for the use of the
School of Journalism because nobody
else wanted it for anything-and it
has grown into a veritable hive of in
dustry and youthful zeal and endeavor
that is rivaling any other part of the
University work.
1t was voted great newspaper
week by all present and some of them
had remained right there and enjoyed
the whole show from start to finish.
Columbia is a beautiful and ideal spot
for such great school as this Univer-
sity. The very atmosphere there is
inspiring and educational 1t suggests
great people. And yet we find the
state of Missouri is parsimonious and
reactionary in providing for the in
stitution, preventing its wider growth
and greater possibilities.

lists, he turned his attention to foreign
policy. There were no more march.
es' to gain, and no more unprepared
peoples to subjugate. Bismark formed
the Triple Alliance when it occurred
to him that the German states might
begin to devour each other. The other
governments of Europe were blinded
by pleas for the "open door," while
Germany in reality sought conquest.
"The Prussian squire still believed
that his fighting metal was superior
to that of his neighbors, just as his
copper sword was superior to the inad-
equate weapons of the Slavs and Lith-
uanians"
Mr.. Kerner said that the present
kaiser of Germany took up the work
on the lines set by Bismark and is fore
ing his principles to their logical con-
clusion. Germany is still eager to
make serfs of its neighbOrs, and to ex-
pand the boundaries of its empire. II
was made plain by Mr.. Kerner that
Germany is not the Ger
many of Goethe and Schiller. Cultured
Germany is the Germany of the West,
the South and North. 1t is the autoc
racy of Prussia that has worked out
the mechanical technology that has
made the war possible. The German
people were called to war so quickly
that they did not have time to discuss
the justice of it, and the Prussian ma
chine had taken care that all methods

REVOLUTIONS

Resolutions and revolutions are
epidemic. In the United States no
village or hamlet is up-to-date unless
it has filed resolutions, signed by the
representative citizens and others,
with Congress. Revolutions in Eur
ope are the prevailing fashion among
the common people.
In Ireland the, business-like politi-
cal revolution, unaccompanied by vio-
lence and bloodshed, is making itself
felt; in Russia an autocratic govern
ment has been overthrown by a revo-
luton; Germany faces military dis
ruption by the growing unrest and
by the industrial strikes that menace
the food and munitions supply; cities
in Hungary are in a state of siege
Brazil finds herself confronted with
invading Prussianism. The whole
world is in ferment.
Resolutions are resolutions and
revolutions are revolutions. The
world moves forward.

I The regulation that aroused the ire

sons should be washed and their cloth
ing disinfected before they would be
permitted to cross the bridge into FL

RI The rioters were principally Next

Paso homes. Traffic was blocked for
several hours on each side OF the
bridge by the trouble.
An amicable adjustment OF the diff

who agreed to recognize the disinfec-
ton certificates issued by Mexican au-
thorities. The Mexican health officials
