The Kansas City Times: The
Peoples Council doubtless has in
vestigated the facts concerning the
disloyalty to the kaiser on the part
of citizens of independence, Kas., to
which reference was made in these
columns. It will be recalled that q
kaiserite who expressed his senti-
ments publicly was slapped and then
chased until he found refuge in a
store (probably under the counter).
The incident was depressing enough
on the face of it as showing the
alarming rise Of pro Americanlsm in
that town despite the efforts of the
Peoples council, but further details
brought out by the old home paper
down there reveal 1t in an even worse
light. The loyal subject Of the
kaiser. 1t appears, was not only slap
ped by an American, but by one
armed American. In case the Peo-
pies Council would like to try to
convert him we have great pleasure
in giving his name. He is DIR. e. G.
Reynolds. We would advise the Peo-
pies Council in approaching him to
come up on his armless side, for APP
parently he is man Of quick action.
He is the sort of American who, IL
he had two arms. probably would be
carrying q gun in the American
army. Having but one, he can only
testify to his sentiments by licking
such kaiserites as come within reach
of his swing.
These distressing facts seem to in
dictate that the situation in Inde-
pendence, Ras.. has got clear beyond
control Of the Peoples Council and

Glory

(By Reginald Wright Kaufman of
The Vigilantes.
I knew that hamlet well: a single
street
Bordered with cottages, where faces
sweet
wives at their household tasks, and
Dreaming their younger yesterdays
again
In silent sunshine-smiled at every
one;
Where, with the setting of the gentle
sun,
The husbands from the fields came
singing home,
And where their children all day long
would roam
Till evening, when the whispering
poplar boughs
Echoed the music of young lovers
VOWS.
A hundred years 1t had been So
and so
I knew that hamlet one brief month
ago.
Then I came back: a single house
stood there;
The rest were smoke upon the August
air
And ruins in the obliterated road
A gray-earbed sentry through the
ashes strobe;
An old mans body. white hair splash
ed with red,
Lay in the gutter; toward blacken-
ed shed,
Flushed face aglow and savage lip
acurl,
A death-grin1ed soldier dragged
little girl;
A strangled baby lay beside the
stream;
Far in the dusk heard a woman
scream, nsag
And from the inTi-porch, dark with
blood and wine.
Reared forth the chorus Of the wacht
Am Rhei1.

TIME TO TURN BACK.

Our heart goes out to newspapers
like The Superior Telegram and other
Wisconsin journals which supported
Senator La Toilette.
Think of the burden Of trying I'd
carry on ones back such weight az
the Little Giant at this time.
The Superior Telegram ventures
this editorial:
There is a great deal of
criticism all over the country,
east and west, about Senator La
Follette's attitude regarding the
war. 1t must be admitted that
many of us who voted for him
at every opportunity for many
years are disappointed in his war
attitude, which seems to APP
proach rank disloyalty to the re-
public. The criticisms appearing
quite severe. AS a fair sample
of what they are saying, The
Cleveland Leader says that La
Follette's crime against the re-
public is none the less black be-
cause it will not be punished as
reasonable actions often are
dealt with in time of war.
such criticisms are not pleas
ant reading for citizens of Wis
consin, and yet it is not easy to
set up denial. The nation is at
war, and the most of people,
think that the republic could not
have kept out of the war longer
With decent self-respect. The at
titude Of Senator La Toilette is
much regretted by his best
friends"
No they are not pleasant reading,
Telegram.
Why not frankly say that you
are through with him? You fought a
good fight for him, but your idol has
feet of clay.
why not step from under and ad-
init a mistake? We all make them.
Things are moving too rapidly these
days to be on the right side of every
question. But La Toilette is headed
for the deepest swamps, and his fol-
lowers who don't want to become
mired with him would do we'll to turn
back now and get their feet on firm

War Departments Lessons For
Men of The National Army

first opportunity to make sure that
the trouble does not grow worse.
One sign of a green soldier Is his
tendency to drink too much water
while on a long march. The expert
enced man gargles his mouth and
throat once in a while, but drinks
only in sips and does not overload
his stomach with either water or
food.
After you have arrived in camp
and have cooled off you can drink
slowly as much as you desire. 1t is,
of course, .uTlwise to eat fruits, candy,
soft drinks, ice cream, and the like
while on the march.
Another sign of a green soldier is
a carelessly adjusted pack or any
securely fastened. Your comfort on
the march depends very largely on
the care and Judgment used in get
ting ready. All your equipment has
been so designed that it need not
interfere with the free movement of
your arms and legs. Your pack
should be strapped to your back in
such way that you can stand erect
and breathe freely. There should be
no pressure on any of the soft parts
of the body. You will march most
easily If you keep your body erect
and do not permit yourself to SLOUGH
or sway from side to side.
When the command is given to
halt and fall out for few minutes
loosen your pack and rest back on
1t in a sitting and lying position. If
possible, lie with your feet higher
than the head, so as to let the blood
flow out of the legs into the body
and rest your heart. During the first
few halts you may not feel tired,
but rest as completely as you can
anyway. Look forward to the end of
the march and try to handle yourself
so that you will be strong and fresh
at the finish.
:. At the first halt it is well to read
just the pack or any part of the
equipment not entirely comfortable.
If your shoes or 1eggings are laced too
tightly, this is the time to loosen
them.
A cheerful attitude is one of the
best aids to a soldier on a trying
march. Singing and whistling on

FrREsRANDs TO RUSSIA.

America has shipped more than a
thousand firebrands to be thrown
into the Russian powder magazine
since the revolution.
Russian political exiles are return
ing to Russia as fast as they can
find their way back, and more than
1000 of them are said to have left
America in the last four months.
These men are the leading trouble
makers for the new government.
they are the men who are agitating
for peace, for a new revolution, and
for anarchy.
The New York World correspond
ent tells of some of these returned
exiIes, and mentions four of them
who now occupy leading positions
with the Bolsheviki.
Joseph Gumberg, Lichachoff. Volo-
varsky and Malenko hold respective
iy the positions of president of the
council of workmen in the leading
rife factory, secretary of the Petro-
grad Bolsheviki, secretary of the
Moscow BoIshevid and secretary Of
the Kronstad Bolsheviki.
These 1000 firebrands are worth
more to the German emperor than a
million fresh troops. They are the
men who have disorganized the great
Russian army and have thrown on
America double and treble the bur-
den it would otherwise have had to
bear.
They are telling their countrymen
that America is not in the war to
stay; that a peace will be patched
up with Germany; that the time for
Russia to make peace with Germany
is now, when favorable terms can
be secured; and that America is in
effect worse autocracy than Russia
under the old regime.

WILL AUSTRIA cRUMPLE7

Austria has long been looked upon
as the weak link In the chain OF the
Central Powers, ana recent dis
patches from, there have made IL
seem possible that Austria wifi take
some decisive step rather than 20
through another winter of war.
This weakness, IL reflected In the
success Of the present italian Of
fensive, and the failure to follow up
the generalization of the Russian
armies.
Two rather significant dispatches.
which have come from Stockholm
and Copenhagen within the last few
days. indicate this possibility.
From Stockholm comes the report
that DR.. Alexander weker1e, the new
Hungarian premier, is one of the
most popular of Hungarian states
men, and is noted for his democratic
ideas and for his opposition to both
Austrian and German control Of
Hungarian affairs. II is Indicative Of
the fact that the anti German ele-
rnsnt has gained the upper hand in
Hungary.
Orders are now given to the Hun
garian troops in their own language.
instead Of German and 4 Hungarian
minister OF war is in prospect, to be
independent of the Vienna ministry,
which is dominated from Berlin.
The other dispatch, from Copen-
hagen. summarizes the reports Of
Austrians who have recently arrived
in that city. They picture an Aus
tria literally crying for peace, ana
even willing to buy It's way out of
the war with confessions to Italy.
They picture an Austria Of frequent
food riots, unable to last through an
other winter of war without COM
plete collapse.
II may be the beginning Of the
end.
ToBoLsK's FAMOUS CITIZEN.
The city Of ToBoisk is about the
size of Fargo.
II Is located in the province of
Tobolsk. the largest in Siberia, and
about twice the size of the state Of
Texas.
The Cossacks founded Tobolsk
back in 1887. In recent years 1t has
been a great convict settlement.
It's most famous resident now Is
Nicholas Rofnahoff, the former car
Of all the Russias.
1t is a sentimental view, perhaps,
but the average American takes no
particular pleasure in the thought of
Nicholas in his dreary prison. The
popular view of him is that he was a
weak, vacillating, superstttious man
OF good intentions and kind heart.
Perhaps those who have been more
closely in touch with his thousands
of paid spies and secret police, have
a different view OF it, and waste less
sympathy on the most famous citi-
zen of the town of Toboisk.
