PREPAREDNESS. FOR PEACE.

Last summer, by speeches, by proc IA
4 nations, and through the daily news
papers, there was continuous cry 70.
national preparedness for possible wsr.
That was all right, but in tie meantime.
as the last two months have shown.
there waslittle thought OF preparedness.
to meet the wants Of our people-tha
wants OF thousands and tens thousands
and hundred of thousands against the
i rigors and food demands of the coming
winter. Still any one knew that a storm
that would block the railroads Ia.
week would send hundreds OF thousand.
OF women and children in our goat
cities supperless and cold to bed. XII.
Foreign enemy may come at anv ti,oa
and there should be fun preparation TO
meet him; but the women and chiksa,a,
are always here. and never again sho,,ls
there be repeated what has been seen IN
the past month OF the utter a creno,
edness OF our country TO takesay Of
its own people.
i' mas shown. too. how much tne
country depends upon railroad tram
portation. Out of 1t all two tren,arso,,-
iacts have been established. One 10
tnat all great cities shoulc in the rurs-
ner and autumn provide for a great
storage OF food and coal. This does n,t
IMPLY that the municipalities should in
eeriere with private business: bnt
should make provisions, IL necessary re-.
supply local merchants and dealers with
food and fuel at cost plus storage.
Inc other fact is that continued war
fare upon the railroads should cease
ana they should be treated as necessi-
ties instead Of public enemies. Also
they should be allowed to keen nm a.
necessary repairs, and to make the nee
essary extensions. The bulk of tbe
money behind the railroads Is supplied
oy people who have little money left
FOR investment That money should be
allowed a fair interest; but the effort
appearantfy, Of the government and the
people has been to fix the belief that
me railroads are the great graft of the
country and that their credit should be
Siiied' their management interfered
With. and they should be snubbed and
'anied In every possible way.
Inc winter has demonstrated the
reed OF their being kept at the highest
Joint OF efficiency. and many new lines
to prepare them for abso-
ute effectiveness In war. and more TN
'ortant still. for effectiveness in times

A Trick Of the Sun.

Upon 4 mountain in ~Andalusia quaint
spectral forms are frequently seen
Whenever there is heavy mist and
persons are ascending the mountain
they appear In all their ghostly splen-
dor and sometimes so suddenly as TO
strike dfsmay into the hearts of those
who see them for the first time. OF
course it Is I'll trick played by the
sun. When mist partially shrouds
the mountain the sun Is naturally OBJ
secured, and then he revenges himself
by projecting the shadow of any per-
son who happens to be ascending the
mountain until the shadow assumes
the form Of a gigantic spscter.--London

SED|7|OUS TALK
RESULTS IN ARRESTS
Two COrdova Men Are Arrested For
Seditious Talk Against United
States And The Red Cross.

The federal officials Of this division
have begun an active campaign to
round up all persons who are spread
ing the pro-German propaganda in AL
aska. The first ones gathered In the
dragnet were Joe Janey and Bob
Schmith, who were placed under ar
rest last night by deputy marshal
Fursman. upon information filed
against them by District Attorney
Munley who is now in Cordova. They
are charged with seditious talk In
which they stated that In the pres
ent war the Kaiser was right and the
United States wrong, also their op-
position to the work Of the Red Cross.
This talk had extended over a period
of two weeks. They were formerly
employed at the City bakery, where
1t is alleged most of the seditious talk
took place, while they we're work
ing on the night shift and the pro-
prietors were not present. AS soon
as the facts became known Messrs.
Hartwig & Kiesling co-operated with
the federal authorities and rendered
them valuable service in securing evil
dence against the men which resulted
in their being placed in custody.
