Revolt Breaks Out
In Lisbon; Food
Rioting in Oporto
Portuguese Capital Swept
by Demonstration Hostile
to Government

MADRID. Dec. S.-A revolution has
broken out in Lisbon, the capital Of
Portugal. according TO dispatch re-
ceived here by way Of Oporto and Iuy'
Outbreaks also occurred at oporto.
The demonstration at Lisbon was
hostile TO the government, while at
Oporto the troubles we're provoked by
the high cost Of necessarics, bakeries
and other shops being pillaged, accord
ing to the dispatch.
In Oporto seventy-eight arrests were
made and sixty persons were treated lh
hospitals. One woman and one man
were killed. The Governor ordered
the closing Of all public places and Is
sued a decree clearing the streets at
. p. m.
Recent dispatches cabled from Lon
CON to the United States have said that
telepraphic communication between
Spain and Portugal had been shut od,
IN being intimated that news of the
situation in Portugal was being rg!dly
censored by the authorities of the re-
public.
In September a general strike Of
workmen resulted in riotng at Lisbon,
and in consequence Of those disorders
the entire republic was declared 10
be in state of siege. Several persons,
including a number Of soldiers, were
wounded by bombs.
Five months earlier serious rioting
took place in Lisbon as the result Of a
scarcity Of food Anarchist agitators
organized disturbances, and crowds at
tackled bakeries, groceries and proyis-
len stores.
Martial law was proclaimed and the
military governor, by taking ener-
getic measures, restored order. Twenty
seven persons we're killed in the riot
ing. Hundreds of persons were ar
rested and taken on board Portuguese
warships in the hGrbor. While the
disturbances were in progress the
American flag was raised above the
buildings Of an establishment at the
POGO do Dispo, and the place was re-
speeted by the rioters.

THE NATIONS BURDEN.

Take up the Nations Burden
In Gods great name we will.
The Hand that sent the burden
Will lead and strengthen still
We call our sons to service
To help in the release
or other sons from bondage
To bring a great world peace.
Take UP the Nations Burden
The call has come today.
The time is ripe for action,
We dare not disobey
That. right, not might, shall win.
'eTo doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter, would be sim"
Take up the Nations Burden
We rally at the call.
God planted our great nation
To be a guide for all.
Its creed is love. and not hatred;
Its banner, bne of peace;
Its aim, the brotherhood of man;
Its hope, that wars may cease.
..Take up the Nations Burden
We lift IL TO the cross,
We shall not fail in righteous cause,
We shall not suffer loss.
Loves message we must carry,
God knows how hard the way.
He sees the bloodmarked footprints.
But does not bid US stay.
Take up the Nations Burden
IL calls for treasure rare.
IL takes our strong, young manhooi
This mighty load to bear.
But greater love hath no man
Than 10 give his life for men.
God sets His seal upon Il.
So let IL be. Amen.

MISTER MOUJIK.

Russian soldier Recognized az n Cifi-
gen and a Human Being.
Syracuse Post-Standard: An evidence
of the liberation OF Russian soldiers
from the autocratic regulations of the
past is found in the following an
nouncement from Petrograd:
An order of the minister of war, M.
Gutchkoff, prescribes the use Of the
grade. as the designation of privates
in the army Officers henceforth will
be STYLED Mister from Mr.. General
to MIR. Corner. ana na the t eMr psM-
master and "Mr. oficiar will also be
employed. Soldiers will have to be ad-
dressed as you" instead OF tnou
both on and OF duty. They VIII be Ga, al

Gus unions, political societies, etc.

sometimes inferiority and sometimes
relationship. so has the thou been
GERS in addressing the men beneath
A There is more significance, however,
in the permission TO smoke in puplic,
form poIitfcaI societies and labor ur-
ions. Here the door of Russian poll
tics Is opened wide. The soldier has
never before been allowed to think.
Already the Russian has gone be-
yond the Englishman. for England will
not permit the determination Of officers
and men while they are on duty,
France, on the other hand, encourages
the feeling OF comradeship, and has
suffered no breakdown of discipline as

vate arm in arm Or seated together in
4 French restaurant is not an infre-
ouent sight. And France has turned
olif some wonderful soldiers and a
spirit OF solidarity which ~ the envy

1t will be interesting TO see how the
moutik takes his new freedom from
the conventions of the past. Certainly

THE RUSSIAN EMIGRANT.

Oh. Russia, Mother of US all,
We turn to you today;
In silent wondering and awe
We can but dream and pray.
In long pursuit OF Freedoms peace
We crossed the dreaded sea,
In misery, in hope, in fear
And now, today, you're free.
Gone is the Jewish Settlement,
The Pale where he must stay;
While for the Finlander and Pole
Hope rises new today. ..
And with the exiles' homing cry
Our pulses leap and strain.
AS fifty thousand turn their steps
Back from Siberia's plain.
Oh Russia, Mother Of US all,
Thou art freeborn today;
In wonderment at what IL brings
We turn to thee and pray.

COCKTAILS FOR UNIVERSAL
TRAINING.

General Goethals at New York Ro-
tary club: I'VE need universal mile
tary training, not only for military
purposes, but for the sake OF the men.
1t should help the country industriaHy
and physically. and would teach us
that we owe something to our coun-
try, something we need to learn. Our
ways will be until we have universal
military training.
Universal military training should
not alone be undertaken to prevent an
invasion, but because of the training
and discipline IL would give to the
citizens who owe something to the
government The voluntary system has
failed in every instance. In the Span
ish-American war the nation paid
| heavily for it's deficiencies"
General Goethals told Of finding a
Massachusetts, regiment without shoes
in 1898, and said:
ITO put 1t mildly this is disgracefuI
and yet that is the condition we are
going to find ourselves in IL called to
the field.
We are not giving enough credit
to the national guard and the volun-
teers, who are the true patriots of the
country. They have been largely ham
dicapped through the failure of the
national government to provide equip
ment. Since last July the government
has been trying to improve this con-
dition, but 1t succeeds only In spots.
There is no systematic plan and IL any
greater emergency rises an order will
be issued and the men called out. They
are not ready to meet aggressive ac-
ton.
This is not the fault OF the militia.
but of the system. Until changed IL
will always present the same Difficult
ties as in the past. We are so deficient
in our national defenses that we are
not ready to meet any aggressive ac-
ton by anybody. The solution Of the
problem is left to sectional feeling"

SIZE OF THE GREAT ARMIES.

New York World Indications show
that the strength OF the German for
ces totalled. on April /, 2l9 divisions
each comprising a maximum of from
10000 to 10000 combatants.
or these divisions, 143 faced the
French and British, but only 80 were
in the actual line, the other being
held in strategic reserve. The remain
ing rs divisions were then on the
Russian. Rumanian and Macedonian
fronts.
At the maximum stated, of 10000
men to a division and 219 divisions,
the German army would have 9l2, 1000
men on the eastern and Balkan fronts.
This would leave 11Ss,000 Germans
actually on the lighting line in the
west, with 52S, 900 men in the strategic
reserve
Since the arrival OF the British and
French missions in Washington, II has
been understood there that the entente
armies in France number 100000.

PLACER MINING IN THE DEsER,
Gold Deposited by Ancient Streams
Now Being Mined in Central

Geological Survey: To one unac-
quainted with local conditions a semi
arid region, entirely lacking flowing
streams, would not seem to be q
promising field for placer mining. yet
the gold produced from the placer
mines of the Manhattan district, Ia
central Nevada, has nearly equalsd
in value the gold taken from its lode
mines.
Manhattan Guich, which during the
last decade has produced nearly ST..
O00, 900 in placer gold. is a dry, gray-
el-filled valley extending westward
from the center of the Toyabe range
to Big Smoky valley. The bedrock on
which the pay gravel rests Hes from
40 to more than 100 feet below the
surface, and water is scarce, 20 this
gold must be recovered by under
ground mining. An underground
stream flowing along the bottom of
this gravel-filled guich supplies SUI
ficient water for sluicing the gold
bearing gravel. In places this gravel
is extremely rich. Material carrying
as much as $50 cubic yard had been
mined from the best ground, and
