General Pershing has taken pains,
promptly and with emphasis, to deny
the report that negro troops in France
have been Disseminated against in
that they were selected for places of
especial danger on the line. He says
that the negro troops have been as
signed to places in the American sec

that applies to the selection of white
troops; and he takes the additional
pains to make it known that the ne

themselves under fire in a manner to
win admiration for their courage and

INDUSTRIAL PEACE COMING.

Among the many changes brough-
about by the war may be noted that
of improved relations between en-
pIoyer and employee. At no time have
labor and capital been closer to a COM
mon understanding than they are to-
day. Never has the welfare OF the
worker been so carefully provided for.
There is a keener appreciation of the
human side of the problem, while it
has become generally recognized that
the full fruits of labor cannot be OBJ
tanned on purely wage basis. Since
the early part of the twentieth century
the increase of corporate wealth has
been so great that very many concerns
which were struggling for existence
less than two decades ago are today
firmly intrenched financially with am
pie reserves to tide over periods of
depression.
It Is. no doubt, due in part to this
increase in financial strength that so
many concerns in late years have fall

fare of the worker. The wisdom of
this policy has been amply demon

on industry. intensified by the high
prices for labor on work covered by
government. contracts placed on a cost

government contracts has naturally
boosted the wage scale and drawn

business in those lines could not hold

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs Thompson: 1 am girh
Is years of age and have just finished
my freshman year in high school.
have a question that has bothered me
for Some time.
There is a boy a half year behind
me in school L love him more than
any other boy. He is what 1 call a
decent and respectable boy. There is
going to be a play that he is in and
1 am also. 1t will not let out until
late, and so would it be proper for me
to ask him to walk home with me, or
would it show ignorance?
This is the first boy 1 have really
loved and I do certainly love him.
How can 1 find out whether he loves
me? CONSTANT READER.
You should not ask him to walk
would without your asking, and surely
you would not want to put him in
position where he would have to do
it or be rude. Have some member of
your family call for you unless he
asks permission before the play to
take you home.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am past
thirty years of age but have no lady
friends and 1 get very lonesome at
times. AS I expect to be called for
like to have a young lady to cores
pond with.
Please advise me how to go ahead
properly. THANK YOU.
Give your name to the Young Mems
Christian association and they will
find some one who will be glad to
correspond with you.

WINNING BY MACHINERY.

Automatic machine tools, or manu-
featuring automatics as they are gen

innovation; a gradual outgrowth of the
first hand-operated screw machine
developed during the early days of the
Civil war for making screws and other
small parts for the Springfield mus

Kerensky, reappearing in London
and en- route to America, revives hope
that something may be done in and
for Russia He himself is quoted as
believing that Russia may again taxa
her place in the fighting line and OPP
pose the Germans. Such faith is not
found in many quarters, but it is
heartening to find 1t in Kerensky,
whose creams of year and a half
ago went glimmering SO tragicaily
when his own weakness deprive him
of the courage to deal with Lenine and
Trotzky as they deserTed. If, in the
meantime, Russian hopes have been
kept alive at all it is thru the efforts
of the group which Kerensky over
threw. One of the numerous grand
dukes, Michael, is reported at the head
of a considerable number of Czecho-
Slavic troops opposing the rule CT the
reds in southeastern Russia; and 1t is
pos.-b that he and Sch forces as
Kerensky may be able to scrape to-
gether may find themselves enabled to
cooperate.

TRAVELETTE
Burgh Castle.
By NIKSAH

Burgh Castle is at first sight a typi-
cal Suffolk village, with church, rec
tory and substantial farm houses. But
as you become acquainted with Burgh
Castle. you find that it has historic as
sociations and that it is proud of
them. If you stroll down a certain
peaceful lane, you come upon a series
of broken, vine clad walls rising from
a grassy field. 1t is the remnant of
Roman camp, and Burgh Castles
most priceless possession.
Eighteen hundred years ago Rome
built here a camp for her horsemen
who were to conquer the simple An
giles. Skilled workmen quickly erect
ed tiled walls of clay. strengthened by
baStions and surrounded by a marsh.
Within the walls, tents were pitched
in orderly streets. with the command
ing officers quarters in the center and
his sub officers about him. The Ro-
mans had come intending to stay.
Three hundred years later they left
the land of the Angles without having
accomplished their purpose of con-
quest
The well-built Roman walls have
finally succumbed to the pressure of
time, and now are almost fallen. But
even when they are gone their story
will be remembered in the souvenirs
of the Roman invaders treasured in
almost every Burgh Castle home. In
the digging of a well or the founda-
ton of a house there is always the ex-
citing possibility of upturning another
bit of pottery, or a coin of tie Caesars,
and discovery would be cause for re-
joicinsSthruout the village.

ON THE SPUR
OF THE MOMENT

BY ROY K. MOULTON

A Typical Address by You Know Who.
Atilla the Hun was a poor, inef-
ficient old scout without the refine
ment of cruelty. No efficiency. To-
day we would call him a pacifist-
without even the fist.
Frederick the Great was not so
much. Did he use any chlorine gas
or flame thrcwers? How many
cathedrals did he wreck every day?
My old grandpa, Wilhelm 1, was a
tiresome old bore. He didn't know
the first rudiments of polite cruelty.
and as a baby murderer he was an
awful fizzle.
Bismarck-ach Bismarck. He was
such a twospot that had to tie a
can to him. All old fogies. old fogies.
Then look at me. Have not shown
them all a thing or two? Look what
my efficiency has done. Efficiency
has been a great thing for Germany.
In three months it caused us to lose
all our colonies an l our world trade.
Now we don't have to worry about
them any more, and can devote all our
time to killing the women and chill
dren and wounded.
Forward nit Colt!
When they want to have a reunion
of the Hohenzo'lern family, a regi-
ment of sa .,pers and miners is sent out
to dig them up.
If the beer glasses get much smaller,
there will b. lot of work in sight
for the Thimble Makers union.
1t would be interesting to know if
the All Highest really and truly be-
lieves all that Karl Rosner writes
about him.
1t is possible, aye, even probable.

That We must not laugh any more.

fact, the young woman who had been
SO energetic and animated, now
seemed exhausted and dropped in her
seat. The president turned to look at
her. She seemed paler than she had

there was less of purposefulness in her
expression.
However, once in the presidents

it was her duty to get the best possible

the world, and he felt, too, as if dur

sence he ought to take her tired body
in his arms and tell her that she was
wonderful. Instead, he told her very
tenderly that she seemed fatigued, and
then pressing her hand in his, thanked
her for coming to start the drive.
The president and the actress start
ed out alone at nine for the train, and
it was at the actresses suggestion that
they missed the train and took a little
country depression. And before they
had gone half a mile, the dignified
professor told the woman at his side
with her. He told her he was telling
her because he should probably never
see her again. 1t would be necessary
in their different spheres of life that
their ways should part. he said, but he
would always remember her as the
