TUBERCULOSIS E

The first week in December, from
the second to the ninth is national
health-improving week. 1t is called
tuberculosis Week, and it that
everybody must do everything posi-
Bile to improve his health and prevent
tuberculosis during these days. 1t is
a we'll known fact that people who keep
healthy rarely have tuberculosis. On
the other hand. persons who allow
themselves to run down. to lose
weight, to lose sleep and become nerv-
Gus, particularly if they have colds
and coughs which they do not cure
but allow to run on, are more than
likely to contract tuberculosis.

ITALIAN LINE HOLDING

But Always it ResistS the TeUtOn
Assaults. r.
Italian Headquarters. Nov. 26.-The
line is holding. Two or three times it
has grown very thin under the strain
of the last 15 days fighting. The
enemy has tested it at various places
as a result of his two main efforts to
date, directed against the mountain
line between the Brenta and the Piave.
Along the river itself there has been
comparatively little fighting during
the last week. The operations in the
north, especially the drive against
the line from Monte Pertica to the
Piave, seemed to promise more than
a straight push across the river. so
TIE enemy attempted a repetition of
the maneuvers which succeeded both
at Caporeto on the Pinzano and on the
Tagliamento.

German Shock Units.

Full and interesting details of the or
ganization of the German formations
known as "Stosstruppen, or shock units,
indicate that the German army at the
front is now divided into superior and in
ferior grades of soldiers. The shock units,
specially formed for difficult operations
which the ordinary regiments evidently
are regarded as unqualified to undertake,
are formed from among the young, vigor-
GUS men of the regular battalions. They
are nearly all unmarried men, or, if mar
ned, are childless, and this regulation has
been drafted for the reason that when
ever they are sent into action they en-
counter the overwhelming chance of
losing their lives They, in fact, resem-
BILE the 'forlorn hopes" of old-time wars,
except that they are not volunteers.
German prisoners assert that soldiers
who are insubordinate or who do not take
kindly to the discipline of the army are
sent into the ranks of these special units
destined to sacrifice themselves in attacks
on specially important positions or in at
tempts, which hitherto have generally
proved vain, to recapture positions such
as the Chemin Des Danes from the
French
Until now each German army has had
attached to it one or two battalions of
these shock units. Henceforth, accord
ing to the newest regulations, each Ger
man army corps is to organize a shock
unit of its own. Orders have been issued
by the German high command that in
certain cases each infantry brigade is to
have a shock unit consisting of COM
pany, and the companies may be united,
should circumstances call for it, into a
battalion to be at the service of the army
corps commander.
These shock units are never used for
the holding of sector of the line. They
60 into action only when difficult opera
ton is to be executed.
Often part of the men of such battal-
ion are distributed in small units among
the ordinary battalions engaged. They
are specially instructed beforehand as to
the most important points aimed at in the
attack and they act as guides to their
less specialized comrades.
AS soon as the heavy fighting is over
the men of the shock unit still remaining
alive withdraw to the rear and rejoin the
rest of the battalion in readiness to be
hurried off to any other part of the line
where hot work is in progress.

SHOE CONTRACTS.

Contracts for 2, ITS, 600 pairs of army
shoes at an average price of S4.73 a
pair have been awarded by the quarter
masters division of thefwa department
The awards include $50, 900 pairs of

manufactures call for the completion of
all deliveries before the end of the war;
Prices were IL cents pair lower than
those of the first contracts awarded May

$50, 900 pairs were ordered for the navy,
making $685., 900 pairs contracted for to

The defense councils committee on
shoe and leather industries recently form
ed an agreement with tanners to furnish
the government with allleather necessary
for army purposes at fixed rate.
''Had these arrangements not been
made" said an official announcement to-
day, 'the manufacturers would have
been compelled to 60 into the open mark

leather market, already higher would un-
doubtedly have advanced again."

made the assertion that the Chautau-
qua was "The Most American Thing
in America and the phrase Is one
that has often been quoted since. 1t
has broader meaning today than 1t

an institution in which the people have
the opportunity Of carefully consider

issues and Of hearing these issues dis
cussed intelligently by men Of note.
No other country on the face of the
earth offers such an opportunity to its
citizens Of getting at the facts on big

The Industrial Workers of the World
has arrived when it's lawless members
must be taught salutary lesson. They
are industrial only in name and are en-
tirely out of step with the labor unions
of the country. The members of the
various labor unions are mostly men who
have homes, pay taxes, are worthy citi-
zens of the United States, respect our
laws have ambition to add something to
their respective cities or towns, and to
educate their children in the hope that
they may become even better citizens
then their fathers have been. The mem
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World are mainly of alien birth who
have been here but a few years and are
imbued with a perverted idea of free
dom, and that in free country they
ought to be allowed to destroy property
and to punish those who thwart their
wishes. Many of them fled to this coun-
try to escape punishment for crimes COM
mitted at home, others are anarchists
and unfortunately, in some States at
least, quarter of their number are Ger
and not more than one per cent of them
have any trade, and can only earn small
wages in factories and mines, on farms or
in numbering.
Fortunately we have few of them in
Maine but in the Pacific States and what
we call the wild west they are very nu-
merous and prompted by their supposed
grievances and bribed by German gold
they have become unbearably trouble
some. They threaten to burn crops after
the harvest, to blow up mines and powder
storage buildings, and to burn mills. They
drive spikes into logs that saws may be
ruined, and hammer copper nails into
trunks of fruit trees, which in year or
two will destroy the orchard. They boldly
threaten to destroy until capital surren-
ders and gives them control of produc-
ton. Their activities in several States
have seriously alarmed the people and in
many cities all members of the l. w. w.
have been ordered to depart at once. In
Bisbee, Montana, about 1900 of them
were loaded into cattle cars and railroad
ed out of town, and when the train ar
rived at Columbus, New Mexico, it was
met by citizens in force, who refused to
allow them to leave the cars
The government at Washington has
been compelled to take control and the
Germans are first to be separated from
the rest of these disturbers of public
safety, and interned The others will
have to 60 to work and will be put under
guard if necessary. Deportation by citi-
zens even if done without loss of life is
not the proper way to deal with these
people. They have for too long been dan
gerous, Of evil intent, and hostile to law.
The proper place for their leaders is in
prison, and if their followers will not
behave themselves they should be ship
ped to the country from which they came.
The present disturbance has been TAX
ing form for several weeks and the Presi-
dent should not have allowed the situa-
ton to become chronic. Our enemies
here at home have been treated tenderly
when they deserved pounding by mail

MEXICO NOT WITH US.

The administration at Washington has
information that news of the sailing of
our troops was sent to Germany from
Mexico. The Carranza element says that
the news was sent by those opposed to
them, and the faction thus accused SAYS
that the Carranzaists did it. It is not
worth while to pay any heed to what
either party says, because all Mexicans
are treacherous. Of course the admins
tration is Investigating" but it will d.
no good, nothing forceful will be done,
The Mexicans care nothing about inyes-
legations by the United States They
hate us intensely and fear us not at ali.
The farce of sending our fleet to Mexi-
can port to compel a salute to the flag,
and the ignominious finale gave the Mex
leans an idea that Uncle Sam was not
man but an old woman dressed in the
Stars and Stripes Then followed the
fiasco of sending large army with Gen.
Pershing with orders to take Villa dead
or alive" and after some ten months of
''watchful waiting" the army was ordered
to march back to the United States, and
when our forces crossed the border Villa
was SO close behind them that the rear
guard could hear him chuckle. 1t is not
surprising that the Mexicans regard the
United States as an overgrown, swagger-
ing coward. We have not INDUCED in any
vigorous executive exercises for more
than four years and our belligerent muscles
are acknowledged to be, at present, some
what flabby. But sometime we shall have
an administration which will make Mexi-
co listen to what we shall say to her. We
shall not then spoil the child by sparing
the rod.
