TRAVELLED TIE

The Angkor Vat is a crumbling
temple in the ruined city of Angkor
Thorn, once the capital of the Khemer
civilization. Now deserted and for
gotten. a jungle city, Angkor was at
one time the wonder of southern Asia
Dusky noblemen in gorgeous array
walked the spacious streets, and wor-
shipped Buddha in this shrine. mag
nificent still in its decay.
Angkor Thorn lies on the right bank
of the Sien- Reap; the temple about a
mile from the south part of the city. in
a triangular park surrounded by a
moat Built in the twelfth century as
a temple to Brahma, it was afterwards
devoted to the worship of Buddha.
Quaint frieZes. exquisite in line, cover
the walls. Tales of the gods, of men
and strange beasts are displayed on
every available surface. Stories from
the Ramayama are fayorite themes.
Visitors to the city today cross the
Great Lake and break their way thru
the jungle. The walls have crumbled.

bered past. In the temple one is not
surprised to find a withered priest, as

beady black eyes. The jungle has
swept in green tile over the glory OF

ENLIsTs FOR THE WAR.

"Undismayed at the prospect of great
taxes. facing the consumption of it's
accumulated savings, American BUSH
ness without hesitation pledges our
government it's full and unqualified
support in the prosecution of the war
until Prussianism is utterly de-
stroyed."
This resolution was adopted unani-
mously by the late convention of the
national Chamber of Commerce in At
lantic City, representing every branch
of American industry and commerce
and speaking directly for several hun
bred thousand business and profess
sional men.
Never before did the business inter
ests of this country express so enthu-
siastic devotion to a great national
purpose. And it was no mere formal
ity, no empty phrase making, no lip
loyalty. The resolution was in har-
mony with the entire proceedings of
the convention and appears to repre-
sent the real spirit of the nations bust
ness leaders.
Some of our industries have acted
selfishly and alphabetically. Some
men, no doubt, in every industry have
been selfish and unpatriotic. But in
general American business has shown,
when the war test came. a wonderfully
high average of disinterested devotion
to the cause of national safety and
world democracy. And that average
is far higher today than ever before.
The profiteers. says the Appleton
Cwis.) Post. are having the greed
shamed out of them and are falling in
line with the generous majority. And
the government is obtaining the whole
hearted service of our ablest manufac-
turers, merchants, financiers and pro-
fessional men on an incomparably
greater scale than in any other war we
ever fought.

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of Men in
Americas Fighting Service

The training of a sailor in the
United States navy and his clear I'M
derstanding of duty gives him a cool
head and a quickness of action that
never fails him. It is not always the
So and the storm that calls on him
to put these into use. An instance of
this has been given by Frederick Ran
dolph Ferguson, a pharmacists mate,
second class on duty at the recruiting
Off e, Boston, Mass. IT Feeding Hill,
Mass, a desperate murderer who had
killed three persons, barricaded him
If in his room. Here heavily armed
he defied the officers threatening to
shoot to kill anyone who came near
him. Taking a desperate chance Fer
guson broke into the room and Crap
ping with the man overpowered him.
For this bravery and capture the
young man has been commended by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Fer
guson enlisted in the navy in 1906, at
New York, and gave as his next of
kin, a wife, Isabel A. Ferguson. of
Springfield, Mass.

DINNER STORIES

It was her first voyage, and she
had made herself disliked by the Of
ficers because of her many foolish
questions. 1t fell to the lot of the
steward to silence her.
Doesn't this ship tip a good deal
sir ?" she asked that official.
Perhaps it does, madam; Il is no
doubt trying to set a good example
to the passengers
A police magistrate was disposing
of series of cases at a rapid rate
and with great eagerness and dignity
Then you are sure you recognize
this handkerchief as the one stolen
from you?" he said to complainant
yes, your worship" was the reply
How do you know II was yours %

You can see it is of a peculiar

tioped ore still more placidly. Il had

WHATEVER You WANT TO Know

Germany's peace proposal to Russia
has sfmmered down to: eff you want
peace with us on any terms get your
partners to agree to them" This OF
course makes a separate peace impos-
sibIe. No self respecting nation would
be willing to enter into negotiations
with either party to the Brest-Litovsk
conference. Those participating In
the parIey are on the one hand an ir-
responsible mob and on the other a
nation convicted of every crime that
can be imagined, but still unpublished
In an effort to inveigle the entente
powers into a discussion of peace
terms, without making direct solicita-
ton, the central powers perhaps have
selected the only available means to
the end desired. They have agreed to
wait ten days for Leon Trotzky, the
former $12 a week New York clerk,
TO make another appeal to the world.
The sight of the great German nation
and the anarchist rabble of Russia
working hand in hand is one to make
the remainder of the world laugh.
But Germany has reached the point
where she is willing to do almost any
thing which will lead to an oppor-
tunity to talk it over with her enemies.
