HOW ONE CATDOES
HER "BTT" IN WAR

According to a soldier recently re-
turned from the front this is a true
story. 1t is the story of how one
trench section learned to meet a gas
attack. The moment that a gas bomb
cxplodes they take to their dugout.
The first move, of course, is to put on
gas masks. The medicine dog, who
travels with the ambulance, has his
own mask and knows enough not to
remove it. There is no mask for the
cat that keeps the men company. Per-
haps she doesn't need any.
Down in the dugout. 20 feet below
the surface. the men sit by candle light
and wait until they think that the
gassing has stopped. 1t is at this time
that the official sniffer" gets busy.
He is one of the men who is chosen.
or who volunteers. to go above and
take a sniff at the air to find out
whether or not 1t is safe for the rest
to come up. He climbs out of the dug
out. removes his mask and shifts. II
it is not safe he will know soon enough,
snap on his mask again and scurry
back into the dugout.
After a while he will come up again
to go through the same performance.
When he notifies his companions that
the air is clear. they all emerge. Some
times when the air has been very
thick with gases and there might be
danger for Il man to take off his mask,
the cat Is flung out of the dugout to
act as 'sniffer." She can sniff better
than a man, and if there is the slight
est sign of gas she will come scram-
bling back as fast as she can.

PRESIDENT SISSON,

The newly elected president of the
State University. DIR. Edward O.
Sisson, will begin his administration
with the hearty good wishes OF the
citizens OF this state and with the
strong cooperation of his associates
in the faculty.
We believe that the university has
been most fortunate in securing the
services of this distinguished educator.
He comes to us after n long and sue
cessful career and with the highest app
prevail. Recently he has been commits
sioner of education of Idaho.
In addition to his duties as an ad-
ministrator DIR. Sisson will be at the
head of the department of education
and in that field his services should
be marked and useful. Montana wants
Montana bred school teachers. We hope
the time is near when it will not be
necessary to go outside the state to
supply our schools with such teachers
as are required for the highest degree
of efficiency.

What Missoula Was Doing
on This Date in 1892.
F'rom the Missoula Gazette of Thurs
day, July "A, 1922

day, July "A, 1929
The ratification meeting under the
auspices of the Young Mems Demo-
cratic club drew an immense crowd to
the courthouse square last evening.
Charles Hall, vice president OF the club,
president, and introduced Hon. +. G.
Higgins, who was one of the six dele
gates from the state to the convention
which nominated Cleveland and Ste
vensOn. G. b. Ferguson read a reso-
luton endorsing the nominees of the
party. 1t was received with cheers.
The three companies of soldiers
which left Missoula night before last
for the Occur dAlenes reached the
bridge just this side of Mullan yes
terday morning in time to see it blown
up with dynamite. They returned and
will go to Wallace by way Of Spokane.
The situation in Wallace Is more Sc
rious than it had been. There has as
vet been no conflict between the reg
ulars and the men, but one is hourly
expected Dynamite will be the Weap-
on of the men. and it is probable that
before morning every mine and mill
in the Occur d'Alenes will he blown
up. The men have taken positions on
the hills where they can watch every
move Of the military and are so placed
that they cannot be dislodged by any
thing but shells, and there Is nothing
larger than gatling gun here. Fully
1000 regulars will be ready for action
tomorrow, 1t is thought. General Miles
yesterday received orders to proceed
from Chicago to the Occur d'Alenes
and is now on his way in a special
train.

LETTER MONTHS ON WAY.

Modesto, Cal.-Strictness OF the
European censorship and the round
about course which letters from Ru-
mania have to travel to reach America
are shown by a letter received recently
by Attorney Leon II. Yanckwich OF
Modesto, from his sister, Miss Louise
ianckwich. at Jassy, Rumania. The
letter had been on the way since No
rember IS. making the trip by way of
Petrograd. 1t apparently had been
opened by several censors. While the
city of Jassy is in northern Rumania
and not subject to German invaders,
this letter shows that the country in
its vicinity is passing through an al
most unbearable ordeal.

five years is a sufficient period of
time for discussion of anything Ac-
ton is needed now. More money is
needed. The mayors committee at a

plans; the work will go ahead, but il
will not be completed until the fund
has been enlarged by a considerable
sum. We urge the people of Missoula

IA TOILETTE STILL FIGHTING.

1t may not be wholly fair to say that
one is a patriot or a traitor. There is
"A large diversified class of peo-
pie who might be generally and
mildly termed as brakes on the war
machine. Some call themselves con-
scientious DIRECTORS, but most of them
we believe, use that term as q masl,
to hide their cowardice. Then there
are the slackers, the most contemplate
of the lot, and besides these there are
Socialists of a dangerous kind, who are
really sympathiZers with Germany.
They come mighty close to the treason
line.
The list might be extended to con-
siderable length, but there is one class
that is rather difficult of analysis. We
prefer to think that they are afflicted
with a form of mental strabismus
rather than that they are morally
wrong. In that class we might place
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin.
We hesitate to accuse Senator Ia
Toilette Of Offering aid and comfort to
the enemy, because we are mindful of
his valuable service to the people in
the past. We have admired at times
his courage, his honesty and his ag-
gressive personality. In reviewing the
things that he has done we must re-
gard his attitude in this war as all the
more harmful.
S"nator La Toilette. in recent issue
f his. magazine says, Whenever an
'0"rican citizen begins to question the
justification. either in law or morals.
u our participation in the European
var, he is denounced by the war party
"a the war press as dsloyal to the
country. After congress has been
bullied into a declaration of war, the
politicians, the press and the mer-
c"naries OF the war party, assume au-
thority to deny the right of American
citizens to discuss the necessity for the
war. or the ultimate object and pur-
poses of the declaration of war"
Senator La Toilette sometimes runs
wild in an argument Certainly he is
off wrong in continuing a discussion
rs 10 the Justification of war now that
W" are in it. There is but one attitude
to be taken justly and that is to win
the war and bring peace as quickly as
possible The time for argument
passed long ago. Germany must be
beaten.
Senator La Follette's powers of re-
sistance should be put to better use.
He is really delaying the peace, which
he purposes to seek. The people who
may agree with him are but a mere
handful of our population. They can
only succeed in obstructing the pros
ecution of the war. they cannot stop il.
Wisconsin was the first state to re-
turn ITS full quota of volunteers and
from that we conclude that Senator
La follette's influence at home is not
such as to seriously endanger the
chances of victory. Nevertheless, we
dislike to see a public servant Of his
record. excellent in many respects, go
wrong on the most vital issue that has
concerned this country in it's lifetime.
