PEN PICTURES
OF: ::HlNDENBURG
(By United Press

London, Mar. 26.-Here are two
pen pictures Of Hindenburg. Both
were taken from German news
papers. Take your choice or
neither.
"He is a gross, obese, glutton-
Gus, elephantine, -witted man
more fitted for a butchers slaugh-
ter-house than the command Of
an army-a man who eats enor-
mously, drinks prodigiously, and
derives all Of his inspiration from
his henchman Ludendorff. -
On the other hand he is "a
tanned Wodin, a smiling, gray
haired Siegfried. The more at
,tentively one studies him the
more evident becomes the fact
that one is standing in a mighty
presence. The man must be seen
in all the overwhelming grandeur
of his personality. It is symbol
cal Of all that is lofty and noble
in the men Of the Germanic race.
Since the days of Bismark no
head Of such power as his has
been met with in Germany. On his
head, in the midst of his grey
hair, Hindenburg has a patch of
beautiful auburn which no picture
Of his has yet reproduced. It is
as though on contemplated a
weird combination Of that which
is good and that which is demon
iac.''

Rome, Mar. 26.-Activity on

French cables would indicate
that the Italians have begun a
demonstration in their theatre,
either to prevent further with

Of compelling Hindenburg to use

fellows in "L' Company had
musical evening" back in the
rest camp on the night before
they went back into the trenches.
The big Swedish supply ser
geant played everything he knew
on his trench-made fiddle. A
young boy from Milwaukee, with
a German sounding name, whose
Daddy can't speak English with
out a Weber and Fields accent,
gave the Star Spangled Banner
on mouth-organ. Slim, the cook
sang "Poor Boy" which has sew
enty-fve verses, while all the rest
OF the fellows sang in harmon
lous undertone Of minors, ''plinky-
plinky -planky-plunk' in imita-
ton Of banjos.
A sergeant from Anodarka,
Okla, won the Y. M. c.. A. s

UMRERNEN "

Washington, Jan. 21.-So urgent is
the need for lumbermen and road
builders for immediate service in
France that the war department has
made an exception to it's previous rul-
ing, and will now allow experienced
men of draft age to enlist, under GER
tain conditions.
Any mar between eighteen and
forty-one years of age, who is quail
fled physically and by experience, may
enlist for this service; but they must
obtain permission to do so from Major
c. Z. Clarke, chief of engineers Of
flee, wal department, Washington, d.
c.. by mail or telegraph. The men
required will be sent to France as
soon as they are assembled, without
being held here for military training.
Tremendous quantities of lumber are
required by the American troops in
France. A special regiment, known
as the goth Engineers, is being re-
cruited to cut timber in the forests
of France and manufacture it into
lumber. This regiment will include
experienced men of every class re-
quired in lumber camp operations.
The Goth Engineers needs immedi-
ately 1000 woodsmen, sawmil men,
machinists and others who have work
ed at numbering. 1t also needs 5000
men who have worked at road build
ing. These men are to construct roads
from the woods to the mills and from
the mills to the distributing depots.
In connection with both the numbering
and bodybuilding operations complete
crews of men experienced in the great
variety of machinery used and in the
camp and repair work involved are
required.

(Bremer Buerger-Zeitung, Sept. 25.)
"A soldiers wife who had gathered
wood in the common forest of Wald-
klrch near Freiburg in Greisgau was
sentenced for the offence in the fol-
lowing terms:
"'Mrs. Clara Ganter, on June 13,
1917, has removed from the common
forest of Waldkirch, Sec. l %, one
faggot of dry fir twigs of the value
of 10 pfennig. In punishment there
OF she is sentenced to a fine of / mark
and one days. imprisonment
"The husband of the culprit has
been for three years at the front, she
herself has four small children to
support in the direst poverty. SINH

reported in greater numbers. Our

ploy this period of shortage of wood

fit of the treasury"

what punishment has justice melted

(Leipsiger V~olkszeitung, Oct. Is, 1919
"a sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers has been brought
to u attention from Upper LANCE
a in Silesia. One of the hired men
of DR.. Mueller's agricultural estate
has been for a long time at the front.
His wife, who had worked alongside
her husband before the war, after the
usual custom, remained in the ranks
of the field hands and accordingly
retained her farm cottage. October /
this woman got the following letter:
Driven from Her Home.
""The undersigned bailiff of the
estate hereby gives you notice as of
this date to the field service for Jan
uary 1, 1918. On that day you are
to give up your house. The work
which you are doing on the farm does
not compensate the farm for the loss
which accrues to it through the con-
tinued support of your family. Look
out for yourself away from this farm;
your house is needed for other use.'
"The woman communicated the no.
tice to her husband with these words:
Il must tell you my distress; soon l
shall not be able to see the paper for
my tears. What shall I do? Winter
is at the door and the cottage is full
of little children
"Thus the bailiff of the estate of a
bloated landlord turns a family with
eight children out of doors in mid
winter, while the man is at the front.

FARM LABOR PROBLEM
WILL BE MET IN MONTANA

WILL BE NET IN MONTANA
eff a crop is raised{in, Montana this
year there is absolutely no question
but that it will be harvested" is the
statement of E. L. Currier, federal
farm help specialist for Montana, who
says that mot a little unrest and APP
%prehension is manifesting itself with
regard to the farm help situation. Mr..
Currier states further, that "while the
problem presents and will continue to
present many difficulties there is no
particular cause for alarm. We have
only to look at the achievement of our
sister republic, Canada, who, in spite
of sending a half million fighting men
across the water out of a population
of only eve million, has increased
her agricultural production substan-
TALLY since the war began.
What Canada has done in this d.
r~ection, this country will be able TO
do.
During the month of February a
survey will be made to determine or
probable farm labor needs for the
coming crop season. This survey will
be made through the public school
system and will reach every farming
community in the state.
The results so obtained will indicate
rather definitely what our farm labor
problem is, and will suggest e%xtraor-
binary measures that will have to be
taken in order that the situation may
be met"

Greater Effort Required of Women
That the war should act as a slim
illus for club work for ONE rather
than decrease it, is the belief Of Mrs.
George J. Allen, president of the Min
nesota Federation of Women's Clubs.
Mrs. Allen believes that the women
need the recreational benefits of club
meetings and the inspiration that
comes from those who have worth
while messages to bring.
"We are giving our husbands, sons
and daughters to defend the cause of
liberty and democracy throughout the
world, SO IN US rests the responsibility
of bearing the burdens of home and
community. In so doing, it is our
duty to stand fast by our club inter-
ests and carry forward the work
which will cause our communities to
show increased development along all
lines of industrial, social and educa-
tional pursuits"
This opinion is expressed by Mrs.
Allen in her word of greeting to club
women for the coming year.

communities and aid in making the
