Humor of the Trenches

The war, it is supposed, has quickenng effect the British of humor; that is it is supposed to make the British uniform with the of humor of other people. One of the reformed crack Coldstream Guards, whose experience at home after period in the trenches is thus related by the London Times:
 Captain George Whitaker, Coldstream Guards, fined Il for making false statement to the aliens officer on duty at Ryde pierhead He in civilian clothes, and when asked his nationality piled, Chinese. On being detained by police stable he said, You civilian police too offcious ought to be in the trenches You would then have sense of humor.'"
 In almost any American police Captain Whitaker after disclosing his identity, would have been discharged with smile, but the interna- tonal humor which life in the trenches engendering Therefore Captain Whitaker, though no doubt a handsome, llsetup Britsher, goes down seriously the records having to pass himself off for a Chinaman
 We cannot after all say that English humor is in ferior to that of any other nation It is heavier than the French the Irish the Scotch It is somberness is to it's worst quality If the tighten it somewhat the will not have been wholly in vain,

JAMES GERARD BROKE RULES

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2S-
 Judge J. w. Gerard has resigned from
 the diplomatic service for good and all
 Such is the judgment of official Wash

 theNPrussians. That is the reason why he would be too much feared at any other chancellery. An ambassador is supposed to be very dignified and very ponderous, to move slowly and always
 in plain sight, to be a sort of figure head, representing his nation; not an active keen brain. Bernstorff at Wash
 ington undertook to play the Gerard game and left a wake like a paddle wheel steamer The papers were kept
 busy with revelations of German ac- tivltles Gerard left no more wake at Berlin than a submarine That isn't playing the diplomatic game acording to the rules. Hence no more diplomacy for Gerard
 | Mark Twain, in his Yankee at Prince Arthur's Court drew a picture no more genuinely humorous than Ge- | rard in Germany. The kaiser, the crown prince, Hollweg, Zimmerman, | met and talked with this American and then went on talking their plans mak- ing their boasts, spinning intrigues to enmesh the United States in trouble in Japan, in Haiti and in Mexico, as un- conscious of the fact that he was ob- serving them, as the members of Prince Arthur's Court were uncon- | scious of the telephone or other mod ern means of communicating
 With the official sanction of the state 1 department, Gerard is publishing, | through the newspapers of the widest circulation in the United States, his memoirs in serial form. No one knows | just how much he realized from the | safe of the serial rights; the bidding was spirited, and the figure was large | one. The royalties from the book, when published, will be heavy because it will be made part of the reference library | of every man interested in current his- tory. As a lawyer, Gerard is sure of a handsome income. So there is nothing for him to worry about, even though he is definitely out of the diplomatic ser | vice. He cannot be diplomat again, with the rank of ambassador because he served his nation so well at Berlin. -(t-

Work of the Exemption Boards

A heavy responsibility rests upon the local ex- emption boards well upon the two state appeal boards which many of the decisions of the exemp ton boards will be taken. The local boards will be overwhelmed with claims for exemption. Many of these claims made the time of registration and many will be made directly to the boards. In the nature of things many of these claims will be found to be frivolous, and doubtless personal and political influence will be attempted upon the boards
 There is board in every county in Arizona, sisting generally of the sheriff. the county recorder and the county health officer To guide them these bodies will letter of the law and the inter pretation of it by the military authorities at Wash ington. But in dschargng duties novel the boards likely to make divergent and unequal applications of the rules To extent these will be adjusted by the district boards but at the best there tain to be injustices. The law made purposey vague so as to allow latitude for sound discretion in its application.
 The greatest danger will be in the personal political pull If of the boards should unfor- tunatey yield to influences of that kind in making exemptions it would have an unhappy influence the of those drafted for service, who would justly resent any such favoritism.
 Exemptions for physical will be easily settled though there too, the examiner must not be swayed by personal considerations.

Democracy at School

"Can democracy learn only through disaster?" is asked by executives of National Committee of Patriotic and Defensive Societies. Patriotic Educa- tional Society and Conference Committee Ma tional Preparedness" The question is a pertinent one, though it in pretty well disguised peal in support of the wooden ship propaganda, in which the words wooden ships" do appear. But the question is pertinent and would be equally if the government to decide in favor of all wooden ship program. That would by means prove that democracy any safer from it's own apparent weaknesses and apparent inherent capacity for blum dering.
 Answering the question in the light of evidence at hand and that which has been furnished in the last three years we should saythat all that democracy has learned has been through disaster Further than that with the present state of Great Britain before should say democracy has yet grasped all the les for which it has paid dearly. Those lessons have cond-hand and do not appear yet have profited by them. We have paid nothing in the shape of dsaster-yet But the pay day has not yet
 We have deluded ourselves into believing that we have already achieved much when matter of fact almost everything have accomplished has been accomplished with paper paper It is true that have sent three small detachments of troops to Europe it is not expected that American troops will render any effective aid there until selective army has been raised and trained It has only been drafted-on paper and is yet to be selected. The effect of the American troops now in France be only moral effect, paper effect We have flo- tila of American submarine chasers in British and adjacent waters but there has been dminuton of submarine operations. We have done many other things and useful things but after a they have been only paper things and have been formally in the for six months. We have known for year that would be in the and early two years ago last May we feared we would be into the
 We cannot easily locate the reason why we have accomplished little. We cannot place the blame upon any party any group We cannot blame the present administration and assert that a different of things would have existed under another ad ministraton
 But blame national habit of think ing and doing, but that only leads to another problem. Is way of thinking and doing result rather isolated situation, former apparent freedom from the worlds turmoil, the great natural resources the country which have exploited with prodigaty? In this situation would not have become inefficient under any form of gov- ernment? Is it not that have lacked spur?
 Anyway, democracy is on trial Whatever we may have thought of before ideal form of govern We, the people of the country, made parties de- fendant with democracy. We cannot demand erance Democracy maybe wholly to blame, and again, democracy if condemned, may be only what have made it.

SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 12: 1-10

Proverbs 12: 1-10
 Whose loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
 A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
 A man shal not be established by wickedness but the root of the right eous shall not be moved.
 A virtous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit
 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
 A man shall be condemned according to his wisdom: but he that is of a per- verse heart shall be despised
 He that is despised, and hath a ser want, is better than he than honoureth himself and lacketh bread.
 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

compelled, by the preponderance of evidence, to trace mans genesis to an entirely different source than that pie tured in the inspirational literature. That man has evolved and developed instead of being Created to Fall" is the theory accepted by the best in formed and discrimating thinkers. If this is so, and it seems to be, being supported by abundance of convincing evidence, the we behold man in very different light. If man has evolved and developed upward we may infer that he partakes of the essence cf the very nature fhis source He has then. like flower blossomed out of the very center and soul of the universe. he has emerged out of the heart of the infi- nite.
