No Pensions for Soldiers Who Con-
tract VenereaI Diseases

1t is asserted that no soldier in the
Spanish or Civil War who contract
ed veneral disease was allowed on
the pension list. If that has been
the policy of the government in pre-
vious wars it is quite likely the pol
icy will continue in this war. There
is evident justice in the rule. No
soldier has any right to voluntarily
poison himself and expect pension.

Lord Northcliffe, or otherwise
known, Alfred Harmesworth, is one
of the towering figures of world poll
tics. Lord Northcliffe, being a really
great man, has learned to say and
politicians and time-servers. And
because he is sincere and big, he has
become one of the great men of En-
gland and the world. In a recent in
terview he advises the American
people not to be too certain of ending
the war next year. He refuses to
make any certain prediction as to the
ending of the war but says that it may
last several years.

FATHER CROTTY'S CHARGE
Ernest and Sincere While Spoiled
Roger Easements Treason

Christian Work-An echo of the
Inflated Irish rebellion was sounded
the other day in the London Times
by F. Selfton Delmar. It will be re-
membered that the traitor Easement
visited the Lemburg prison camp and
endeavored to induce the Irishmen
who were being held by the Germans
as prisoners of war to go over to the
Teutons and fight against Britain. Mr..
Delmar thus describes the scene:-
'After Easement had exhausted his
arts in trying to persuade the men
to desert their flag, and when num-
Der of them had been shaken their al
legiance, Father Crotty, whom I look
upon as one of the heroes of the war,
was asked by his German mentors II
he would speak a word of authority
to the waverers then at mass. Faith,
and I Wilt" he said. 1t must have
been dramatic scene-the Irish SOL
diers gathered together in their rough
camp chapel, the priest near the al
tar, the German officer in uniform
waiting, like Mephistopeles, for the
words to fall from the priests lips
that were to betray these men into
his power. The time came for the good
priest to speak to his children.
Men of Galway, and Connaught,'
he said, the German emperor wants
you to go and fight on his side, and
some people have been telling you
that it is a proper thing for you to do.
And have been asked to tell you the
same. But have been sent to you by

Two new laurels must be handed
out to two new champions Of the
motor speedway. The first of these
is q Packard, equipped with a Twelve
cylinder aviation type engine, Of 266-
horsepower at 2,150 revolutions per
minute, It smashed all records for
ten miles, beginning with the first
quarter which it covered In SCI sec
onds-a mere $50 miles per hour. IT'S
figures lower the previous mark for
ten miles by nearly half q minute.
It achieved the ten miles In { min
utes 50.SS seconds.
The second champion to deserve q
niche in the well known
hall, is the Chalmers. Joe Dawson
has been chasing shadows Of pre-
vious champions for a long time. He
has caught one and passed him in
the record he established at Sleeps
head Bay, five days after the Pack
ards record was made, in travelling
1 800 miles in twenty-four hours con-
slant running, without stops for re-
pairs or adjustments Of any descrip-
ton. The record was made in q stock
chassis. This is almost eighty miles
further than milford, in the Hudson,
travelled in the same clockruund of

says some things, among which the
more important follow:
iona, may wonder what excuse there may

can, be no serious question As TO the supply
relation between supply and demand must
eventually determine the price Of any given
product, but In this case particularly II would
eventually be controlled by the relation be-

Early in the current year. the Heaidton

Supply and demand seldom run neck and
