BUGLE IN MODERN WARFARE
Something Of an Analogy Between
That instrument and the Trumpets
Sounded at Jericho.

A glass bar set vibrating lengthwise
-1by sound will smash to pieces If the
sound rise to Il high enough key-that
is, If the number Of vibrations becomes
great enough. And the hardest metals,
such rs iron and steel, will break like
glass under the rhythmic shock of Oft
repeated feeble blows. For this rea-
son when regiments march across q
metal bridge they are always ordered
to break step, in order that the impact
of their feet may not set up rhythmic
vibrations in the structure.
Many persons who have Il mania for
explaining in mntcrialistic way all
the wonders related in the Bible nave
cOnjccturrd that when the walls OF
Jericho fell under tho trumpet blasts
of JoShun'S army these were keyed to
set up in the walls precisely the vibra-
tiOnS that would Shattcr them. And
1t may be said that this explanation is
by no means confined TO matCrialiSts.

the old Jewish rabbis, as well rs by

Seaman Worthy Of His Uniform

A cry for help never goes unhecdcd
when there is a man of the United
States navy standing by. No matter
where-on land, at sea, in calm or
storm, daylight or dark--hc is quick
to respond and ready to take the
chance that makes Il rescue possible
An instance of this is reported from
Newport, r. L.. where the bravery OF
Robertson McGrcgor, fireman, third
class, attached to the naval training
school at that place, has just been
rewarded by Il letter of commcndation
from Secretary Daniels. II was night
and unusually dark when McGrcg0I

hesitation jumped overheard and

Why Food is High.

When asked the price Of nice, fat
dressed hen, your grandmother would
say hesitatingly to her friend from
town, why would twenty-five cents
be too much?" and that lady would
reply cheerfully, ooh no, that's all
right; but she had half expected your
grandmother to say, ooh, what's a
chicken between friends ?" Today the
meat market man will ask two dollars
for the same kind of fowl, and never
bat an eye.
Your grandmother's hens laid eggs
at eight cents dozen in trade at the
village store. Grandfather sold pork
on foot at three cents and beef at
three and a half cents a pound; oats
and corn at twenty cents, wheat at
sixty cents and potatoes at ten cents a
bushel. The wayfaring man who
stopped for a meal at your grand
parents home got all he could eat for
nothing. It would have disgraced the
house to ask pay for it.
One reason why food was cheap fifty
years ago is that half Of it was stolen.
Your godly old grandfather was UNI
consciously robbing his land Of it's fer
tility, which is but another way Of
saying that he was stealing bread and
butter from his grandchildren. Harsh
as it may seem. to say it, our grand
fathers were pasturing on us and pas
turing wastefully. We are buying
commercial fertilizer at big dollars a
ton to replace what grandfather took.
Another reason why the twenty five
cent hen has flown up to two dollars
is that grandfather bought his land
outright for less than the annual in
terest on the cost of it today. It takes
ffty-cent eggs and two-dollar hens to
pay six per cent on two hundred dol
lars an acre.
Grandfather hired the best farm
bred boy in the neighborhood at TWEEN.
ty dollars a month and board. His
grandson is bidding sixty dollars and
board for almost anything that wears
overalls, and he goes up to a hundred
in harvest time.
Grandfather. never knew exactly
whether he ever made any money on
crop or not; but if his grandson
doesn't know his creditors will furnish
him with some disagreeably accurate
information regarding it. Producing
food is a business today. It was just
a way of getting along in grand
fathers day. Minneapolis Journal.

Idlers, both rich and poor, are to
be held to strict accountability under
the useful occupations order Of the
Public Safety Commissions the order
will be enforced to the limit and every
local police officer will be required to
assist. The commission does not in
tend to let the millionaire escape any
more than the street-corner bum. This
is the proper course-there should be
no discrimination whatsoever. Then,
again, it will do the wealthy idler an
incalculable amount Of good to be put
to work saving wood, harvesting the
crops or grubbing stumps.

Some of our boys are performing
most remarkable feats in France. Ac-
cording to a recent report one Ser
geant Brown went into No Mans Land
and, after killing or capturing the
crews Of four machine guns and rak-
ing boche-filled trench with his auto
matte rifle until the survivors sur
rendered, marched back to camp with
159 prisoners. Little stunts Of this
sort are Of frequent occurrence, the
Yanks seemingly resorting to them as
a sort Of diversion or recreation. Did
you ever hear Of a Hun performing
such work? No, they are too coward
ly to attempt it.

While cruising about in the air one
night seeking an entente hospital to
destroy Gin the name of humanity
for their bloody lord and master,
boche aviators enormously bombed a
camp behind the French lines in which
German prisoners were confined and
killed about a hundred Of them.
Were they to continue work along this
line we are inclined to believe that
the allies would enter no protest, as
they would no longer have TO feed the
Hunnish barbarians.

Hun newspapers are denouncing
Americas 'barbarous attitude in the
war for arming soldiers with Sawed
off shotguns" for close fighting. This
shows the Huns ignorance of modern
larms-t this is the first time, it seems,
that they have been introduced to that
deadly weapon, the automatic carbine,
which sends forth a stream of bullets
almost as rapidly as a machine gun.
There are other engines of war posses
sing even greater destructive powers
which will be introduced to the Huns
as the war progresses.

Awakening to Official Deception


Germany no longer sneers at the
entrance of the United States into the
battle for liberty, no longer belittles
the efficacy Of the 1egions Uncle Sam
has sent to the trenches in France and
Flanders. "The redoubtable American
intervention" is the way the Cologne
Volkzeitung expresses it with frank
ness uncommon to the bridled press
Of the Prussian empire.
Admiral Won Cape1le may attempt to
delude the Germans with false reports
Of the submarine campaign, but obvi-
ously he is: making little Roadway
against the information of the true
Situation which slowly percolates
through the masses Of the people.
They know better. It is significant
that the Cologne newspaper not only
realizes that Won Capelle is undertake
ing the deception, but has the courage
to say so, in this direct fashion:
We hear it said all around us that
the results of the submarine warfare

week. Or else that more submarines
are being sunk than we can construct.
The submarine warfare is even cursed,
doubtless because it has contributed to
bring into action the .redoubtable
American intervention.
With every promise unredeemed,
with the checking up and correction Of
every falsehood from the moment
when official Germany, misled by the
military and naval bureaus assured
the people that America would meyer
enter the war and would never land
troops in France if it did, it will be
impossible long to keep from the
masses the fact that they have been
tillusionized and deceived from the first
moment Germany undertook to dis
guise the motives which led it into
1precipitating the world wal. st. Paul

clare that Ireland shall be free

~ Irish names appeared: Horn
stadt, Scheller, Kaiser, Won Kemerad,

much freedom in Ireland today as in
any country in the world, and every
sane and sensible Irishman is aware
Of that fact. But there are Bolshevists
in Ireland, and few in this country,
eternally parading their imaginary
grievances and prating about freedom,
who are discredit to their race and
they are despised by alldecent, liberty

From a Dublin press dispatch we
learn that. hundreds of young Irish
men are anxious to enlist in the Amer
lean army, and arrangements will
probably be made with the British
government to permit them to do so.
Instead Of enlisting in the British army
these men feel that it is only right for
them to cooperate with and assist
their relatives in America, as this
country has always been the home Of
Irishmen who had to emigrate. We
are unable to see that it makes any
difference in what army the Irishmen
enlist 50 long as it is not in that Of

The editors Of many papers who at
the beginning Of the war played, more
or less openly, into the hands of the
kaiser, have, to all. outward appear

rails in these papers, which are ostensi-
bly, of a loyal and patriotic nature, is
an existing vein Of pro-Germanism

fast approaching when papers pub
