Madison, Wls.--Three centuries ago
dainty Priscilla Mullines became the
bride of John Alden, and rode on a
white OK to the log house he had built
in the Massachusetts, wilderness. The
course Of true love had not run smooth
in Priscilla's case.
Miles Standish, the doughty warrior
who had saved the Plymouth Colony
from the Indians, had wanted her to
take the place Of his lovely Rose"
who had died soon after the Pilgrims
landed. He was a warrior among
men, but afraid of maiden's eyes,"
and he had sent John Alden, his fried,
to do his proposing for him.
Longfellow describes it in his poem,
1.-THE Courtship of Miles Standish."
Priscilla waited in maidenly modesty
until Alden had sung the praises Of
his friend, and then whispered why
don't you speak for yourself, John?"
Evidently, John did, because Stand
ish, who had been reported killed by
the Indians, appeared just in time to
attend the wedding.

1t is not to be doubted that our al
lies will assent to our drafting unnst
uralized aliens of their respective
countries, and it is entirely proper that
the formality of these governments
consent be obtained as preliminary
TO the actua. Consumption Of aliens.
Certainly foreigners have no moral
right to be a privileged class in this
country. II they we're living in the
lands OF their birth they would be sub
ject TO conscriptlon. If they were
American born or naturalized citizens
Of this country they would be subject
10 the Sc ective draft. IL would be an I'M
just and incongruous situation If they
should be left free of all obligation,
and in position not only TO impose an
undue burden of the draft on native
and naturalized Americans but to ap
propriate the more lucrative vacancies
made by the processes Of conscription
in drawing American manhood to the
colors.
1t is estimated that there are more
than million aliens OF military age
in the country, who thus far have es-
capped the draft liability. These men
must be put on the same footing as our
own people with respect to liability
for military service. If they don't
want TO fight for the United States let
Them go home. They will be made to
fight for France, or England, or Italy,
or whatever country they came from.

Our Battle HYMN.

Florence Howe Halls book, "The
Story of the Battle Hymn of the Re-
public" refutes the following mislead-
ing caption of one of the patriotic mo-
vies-"Julia Ward Howe Wrote the
Battle Hymn in Her Sleep"-which is
just near enough the truth to be de-
ceivlng. The real manner of the con-
ception of this song is repeated by
Mrs. Howe's daughter in her mothers
own words :-"Awoke In the gray of
the morning twilight; and as l lay
waiting for the dawn the long lines
OF the desired poem began to Irvine
themselves in my mind. Having
thought out all the stanzas, ! said to
myself, I must get up and write these
verses down, lest / fall asleep again
ana forget them Having completed
my writing l returned to bed and fell
asleep, saying to myself, 4 like this
better than most things l have writ

House as decisively' it is too early TO
predict bone dry" nation in the
very near future. The proposed con
stitutional amendment TO abolish alec
holic beverages from the country must
be ratified by three-iourths OF the
states before il becomes effective. The
failure Of thirteen states to adopt the

Il shall not put the question:, says
the Austrian Foreign Minister, "who
was responsible for the war, because ii
is useless TO discuss the past in this
connection" II is not at all strange
that Austria should have a strong dis
taste for barking back to the origin OF
the war and that her spokesman
should prefer 70 speak Of the future. "
But those who are fighting Austria
and her allies cannot deal with the
future without full consideration Of
the past; cannot accept guarantees OF
future peace with eyes closed to the
past performance Of the guarantors.

Swine Feeding In Spain.

In western Spain certain lands COW
cred with oaks are utilized for pig
feeding. Toward the middle of au-
tumn, when the pastures begin to get
poor and the acorns begin to ripen, the
feeding process begins. The forest is
usually divided into four parts and the
acoras knocked from the trees in the
low-lying quarter first, then the sec
ond, about two weeks later, and so on,
the pigs indicating their hunger by
signs known TO their guardians.
