20 Sheep
Score of Fleeces Neeedd
by Each u. S. Soldier.

Somewhere in the long line of sun
plies needed to maintain an American
soldier at the front must stand a floc
or 20 sheep. Each OF our fighting men
will require 100 pounds of wool year.
the fleece of a score of animals. A
huge flock Of 100000 will be re-
quired to make comfortable an arm,
OF 100000 men. These figures are
given. by the United States Bureau
OF Animal Industry. writes Frank G..
Carpenter.
Each soldier, of course. will not re i.
quirc 100 pounds Of wooden goods each
year. but as wo-thirds Of the fleece
when clipped is dirt and grease, while
some OF 1t Is not suitable for making
cioth. that amount Of raw mate,
will be needed. This is the full equip
ment OF a man in active Service: One
oSercoat. two service uniforms, three
suits OF heavy underwear two olive.
drab shirts. four blankets. two pairs OF
gloves. with six pairs Of light and four
pairs of heavy weight socks.
This increased demand comes at a
time of world shortage in wool. In
1910 We produced $4,000 900 pounds OF
wool. last year 100000 pounds less,
or about enough to make suit for
every third person in the country.
Since 1914 the flock of Australia, the
great wool producer, has been re
duced 100000 by drouth. while thou
sands OF sheep in the warning coun.
tries have been slaughtered for food.
Vigorous efforts are being made by the
department of agriculture to increase
wool growing in America, which NAV
DC aided by its great increase in price.

dier's needs will be filled.

3esus Christ, returning to eartl
on this anniversary of His resur
eection, might well stand aghas
and wonder whether men hat
forgotten His teachings, as ex.
enaplified by His life.
On this lovely Easter morning
when "spring unlocks the flow
ers 70 paint the living SOIL" the
people 0fthe world are standing
ut Armageddon.
AT this very hour when the
peals Of the church bells summon
us TO hear again the story OF
Christ's resurrection, great guns
in France are sounding the knell
Of death and men are falling in
windrows, under the binding
hail OF broken shells. made by
man for the destruction of his
1ellowmen.
That is not pleasant thought
on Easter morning, nor is it easy
to adjust this comparison with
the things Of religion, as COM
monty understood. To the I'M
thinking mind, it seems plain that
the world has not grown better,
but worse, since Christ died on
tho cross for the salvation Of
mankind.
Yet, as we read history, we
learn that the way of progress to
better things has been through
rivers Of human blood and blazed
BY bitter cruelties. The Magma
Ch4rta and the Bill or Rights
were won only after an aroused
people had made the way with
the sword. Our own Declaration
Of Independence, the greatest
document Of human liberty ever
written, became q fixed and liv-
ing symbol Of just government
for oil The people for; all time,
only after men had fought to
make it so. 81
Heroes and martyrs have, for
centuries, given their blood to
make the world better.
Thus on this Easter day, we
find that there is no cause so
linked with religion as the cause
Of democracy and human liberty.
The allies are fighting on the
fields Of France, not less for re-
ligiQn than for the democracy Of
mankind. We do not doubt their
victory. Otherwise, we must dis
card the lessons OF history and
agree that progress is at an end
and that the world is to retHrn to
chaos. The blood Of the martyrs
and the ashes Of the saints must
have been given in vain if the
cause OF democracy is TO be lost
to the forces of brutal arrogance
and autocracy. We are not so
pessimistic as to believe that will
happen. We think this Easter
day fitting ana timely occasion
to resolve that this war is to be
continued to the hour when we
know that all that has been saved
for us will be saved for the gem
erations to come.
When Nelson's lieutenant
pointed out to him the signal of
recall, the great hero of the Nile
fixed his spyglass with his only
hand TO his blind eye and ex-
claimed u do not see any signal,

FIXING THE BLAME.

| We cordially agree with our
contemporary, the Great Falls
Tribune, that the Democratic
campaign for the election OF
Davis as senator of Wisconsin,
by assailing the loyalty of Len
root, is worse than an error OF
Judgment. 1T is a crime at this
time,' says the Tribune, "when
| it is so necessary to the success
| of the nation that all loyal men
stand together in unity without
thinking of party partisan poll
tics in order to give the greatest
efficiency to the nation in its
prosecution Of the war"
II is strange, indeed, that Presi-
dent Wilson, who has been so in
sistent in his appeals for non
partisan support to administra-
tive war measures in congress,
should permit such vicious, I'M
fair and dastardly campaign as
Vice President Marshall and a
horde of imported Democratic
spell binders are making upon
Congressman Lenroot-in Wiscon-
sin.
To begin with, the Democrats
have had one United States scna-
tor in almost thirty years. Dur
ing all that period, Wisconsin has
been solidly and unitcdly Repub-
lican. There are no sound rea-
sons for hoping that a Democrat
can be elected now.
Obviously then, if the president
is SO DESTROYS of lifting loyalty
above partisanship as an issue,
Lenroot should have the most
loyal support, because, on a
clean-cut platform of loyalty
against La Follcttism, Lenroot
won the nomination. His candi-
dacy has been stamped with the
approval OF loyalists in his party
who are above suspic hon. The
effort to win the Republican 10y
alists to the support of Davis by
raising a suspicion of Lcnroots
loyalty, strikes us as it docs the
Tribune, Us criminal folly.
What Lenroot said or did be-
fore the United States got into
this war is of no concern in this
election. There can be no doubt
that he is most earnestly and
whole-heartedly behind the gov
crnment in the prosecution Of the
war to full victory. That is
enough.
If President Wilson'S admins
tralion or the Democratic ma
tional committee plan to follow
such methods as are in vogue in
Wisconsin in the campaign next
fall, the results will be most de-
plorablc. We begin to think
there was good deal of camou-
flage in the. criticism by some
Democratic leaders Of the injec-
ton Of politics into the war by
Senator Stone.
We are inclined to think that
the voters OF the several states
should be permitted to settle the
coming elections in their own
way, without influence from the
White House. The Tribune's
suggestion of joint loyal ticket
for congress in Montana should
have the sympathetic interest of
the people who are more con-
cerncd in winning the war than
in winning party victory. Ger
talnly some way will be found to
accomplish this end, if we are
faced with the alternative of
electing candidates who are not
behind the prosecution of The war
to the limit.
At this time we can think of no
policy more likely to inflamc par
tlsanship to The very great detri-
ment of the country than the use
of such methods as we. are wit
Messing in the Wisconsin election.
