SHELLS AND SAVING

The Righteousness of destroying in
one moment of shell fire the results
of year of labor. while at the same
time orders are being issued for the
saving of even a drop of pot liquor
or animal fat is one of the neglected
phases of war. Yet, strangely enough,
it is not a phase which is totally
dark. American housekeepers may
benefit at the price of no worse a
menace than the high cost of living.
The English breakfast traditionally
consists of porridge, fish, bacon and
eggs, toast and marmalade. War
measures have reduced it to two
courses. Luncheons are reduced to
the same amount, and dinners include
only three courses.
The result has been a properly bal
anced meal. Instead of roast beef
plus fish plus eggs plus game, a few
vegetables, a salad and sweets, the
Englishman now buys a frugal meal
of three courses at even the highest
priced restaurant. That these rules
will obtain after the war, if only
through a realization of the economic
waste of Overeating, is to be hoped.
One result of the war will undoubt-
edly be the cutting down of the vast
gorging of the world. Meats and
sugar will continue scarce after the
war is over, and a saner dietary will
replace the excesses of those who re-
main above the poverty line.

PREMATURE PEACE

The clergy of New England have
protested against President Wilson's
peace moves, saying that peace now
would be premature. No explanation
is given of their meaning Of "prema-
ture." The United States is divided
upon the issue.
Some of the more learned diplomats
venture the opinion that the time for
peace-making has arrived, while 9TH
ers are equally insistent that peace
oyertures at this time are premature.
On the one hand the formation OF
league for international peace is ad-
vocated and on the other equally log
ical arguments are advanced to show
that the league would be impractical.
And the discussion continues-so
does the war.
Just what effect President Wilson
note and those of the other neutral
nations will have is still matter OF
guesswork and personal opinion. One
great effect, however, which is lauda-
BILE is that of distracting the atten-
ton of the belligerents and causing a
cessation for a moment of the fierce
activities of the war.
Premature peace! Could peace at
any time, when millions of lives are
being sacrificed, when great amounts
of property are being demolished,
when the hearts of the women and
children of the nations are being
rended with suffering and grief, be
premature?

FRENCH OFFICER DECORATED
Captain LassOuquere Gets Cross Of
War for Bravery.

War for Bravery.
By United Press
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
Jan. Is. (by maiD-Captain Lassou-
quere, commanding the Eleventh
Company of one of the regiments
that recaptured Douamount last Au-
gust, today was decorated with the
Croix de Guerre in recognition of his
coolness and bravery in leading his
men to the assault.
A moment before the time set for
the men to scramble out of the trench
es. Captain Lassouquere mounted the
parapet, and adjusting his monocle so
that he could survey the field of op-
erations. walked calmly up and down
twirling his cane in his fingers. When
the precise moment for the assault
came, the Captain preceded with his
twirling his cane with all the non
chalance of a Partisan dandy on the
boulevard. Reassured by the cool
ness of their leader the men follow
ed, always screened by the French ar
tillery barrage fire, until within strik-
ing distance of the objective assigned
them.
With the same precision the French
artillery barrage at that moment leap
ol ID hn
tion exposed to the attack of the ad-
vancing infantry company. Throw
ing aside his cane, and drawing his
revolver, the Captain gave the cry of:
En- Avant, Mes Enfents," and a mo-
ment later the entire company was
safely installed in the German posi-
tion with all the defenders either dead
or imprisoned.

THE sALARIED MAN
premature?

Wartime has brought to the capital
ist of the United States untold pros
perity and riches.
The laboring classes in many cases
have felt the goodness Of the increas-
ed influx of foreign money in ex-
change for American-made products.
But what of the salaried mantle
man in the office, in the great retail
stores, the salesman, the man in all
of the industries which have not felt
the stimulus of foreign capital?
Their salaries are the same today
as they were ten years ago, when men
held the same positions, doing the
same work, and the cost of living had
not scared heavenward inflated by
the increased demands upon the prod
ucts of the United States.
Many industrial institutions gave
their employees Christmas gifts OF
percentage bonuses upon their salar-
les, but these cannot last always
Within few months. these are spent
and the salaried man is again facing
the same problems of existence.
There must be a change.
According to the standards of the
day, the efficient man working each
month of the year for a stipulated
sum is momentarily worth less today
than formerly. Yet, perhaps, he is
doing the same work. and is possibly
doing more.
There must be a change in order
that the salaried man may share with
the capitalist and laborer alike the
profits Of prosperity.

Something to DO on Sunday.

Editor the Missourian: A phase oi
municipal life hitherto considerably
neglected in Columbia was brought
forcibly to mind yesterday afternoon
when nearly capacity crowd attend
ed the recital of the University Chorus
and the Columbia Choral Society in
the University Auditorium. What Co
lumbia needs is something to do on
Sunday afternoon.
The Puritan Sunday is passing. Nc
longer is it the custom to spend the
Sunday altogether at home. with
meditation, sleep and the family Bible
as the only means of passing the
time. Church services, of course
take up some of the time, even nova
days, but when the Sunday dinner and
the Sunday newspaper alike are di-
gested-well, what to do then is the
problem.
In the summer there is baseball for
those who care to attend, and strolls
over town for those who have other
ideas. In the winter neither of these
can be enjoyed.
Who will be the first with a sug-
gestion? The excellent performance
of the singers yesterday did a grea,
deal to make more enjoyable the
Sunday for many of us. But what OF
the Sundays that are to come?

FARM HOMES FOR OFFENDERS

Advocacy of jail farm homes is
starting in Kansas. Missouris jails
need remedying equally as much as
those in our neighboring state 1t is
time that this be done. Other states
have been alive to these needs for
some time. AS a result better con-
ditions and methods have come into
being.
The same principles of detention
are used in Missouri today that were
in use years ago. other changes have
come. but the Jail system has had no
part in these. Prisoners are kept in
dirty, dingy places, associated with
other lawbreakers and with no work
to do. Learning more lawlessness is
a pastime.
Reform comes only by wholesome
The daily Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1916-1917, 1917-01-15

living, with sympathetic supervision.
Work and fresh air are essentials of
reformation. Farm homes would pro-
vide this. There would be no more
loafing in dirty jails. This suggestion
for Kansas strikes home in Missouri.

preached by local restaurant. keeper

than 5000 worth of meal tickets he
bad advanced to members of the unit:

and their work while there is well
known to the public. Army dispatches
spoke in glowing terms of the men.
The officers We're signally honored
and they came back quite a different
lot from the men who went aWav.
But even on the border. all was no,
serene. On one occasion govern
ment army pay officer came to Cap
tain LaReau's tent and made the
statement that due to red tape the
men had been allowed more than half
n months pay for the time they ma.
heen held at the mobilization camp.
There was no denial of the right OF
The payment but red tape decree',
that it should not be paid.

money back from the boys" the pay
master said
"All right" answered the captain.
"you talk to them when they are as
sembled for roll call"
Here the paymaster baked. no
did not have the nerve to face troops
unknown to him and ask for money
which had been paid them, money
they deserved. II can't do that. they'll
mob me-" he declared.
But the faith of the captain was
greater than this, he knew the men
he had in his company, he knew their
loyalty and he answered you donr
know my men"
Money Given Back
At assembly the captain stepped be-
fore his men and told them what hao
happened. he asked them to file by
the paymaster and give back the
money which the government saiu
had been overpaid them. And each
man, as he filed past, deposited half
n months salary, in some cases all
that remained unspent. And there
was no mobbing of the paymaster

ice there had shown the need for new
material, it had shown the slackers,
and had weeded out the soldiers. New
material was brought in and when the
call came Friday morning for the unit
to entrain for a journey to France
Captain LaReau and Lieutenants Fer
guson and Nabhan walked at the head
of n company of men, the like ~
which but few sections of this country
can produce, volunteers every one OF
them, eager for the task and above
ALL filled with an absolute devotion
to the men who, as Captain LaReau
declared should be looked upon as
the father of every man, the one to
whom every private and non-commis-

Such is but little Of the history Of
Tulsa's gift of volunteer soldiers TO
the world for the sake of freedom.
