RED CROSS Is PREPARED
 ID HANDLE ANY EPIDEMIC
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb 2S.-Four Pullman coaches, specially fitted with medical and surgical equipment, chem icals, and manned by staff of skilled surgeons and physicians, ready to be rushed instantly to any military camp in the United States for fighting cpl denies, are maintained by the AmeYi- can Red Cross, 1t was announced here recently.
 These cars are stationed at strategic points, with basteriologists and chem- ists in attendance, ready for instant dispatch at the outbreak of serious epidemic among United States sol diers. Eight highly skilled medical specialists in epidemics are assigned to each car Hundreds of lives would be saved in case of a dangerous cpl demic by these cars, medical authori- ties believe.

We are at war for democracy and humanity. It is an Ail-Amercan war and demands an All. American unity.

We at home cannot stop giving with our first few contributions. Our soldiers must continue to fight-we must continue to give

FAIRBANKS BOY IN BAD

Daniel Morency, 15-year-old Fair banks boy. is again under arrest, charged with stealing a watch, knife and revolver from Halls bath house. At first the boy denied the theft, but later admitted it. He has a long string of .burglaries to his credit, and this time, if not given severe sen- tence by the court, will undoubtedly be sent to some reform school until he reaches his majority. Only his age has saved him in previous offenses.

 The philosophy of social Darwin ism" looks forward to the right and duty of tas- dynastic andl regimented state to extend it's system, overriding by force or trickery alh interiors or competitors
 This theory bears no. legitimate re- lationg to Darwinism, from which 1t borrows only the name. It regards civilization as merely physical strug- gle ter existence, nation against na- tioAs race against race, in which the weak go to the wall to be trampled broad" by the strong and ruthless. lyre- unpardonabla, sin of a sovereign state is to be small; peace loving, or backward. The nations which, adopt the system of ''Kulture," it is claimed stand in the vanguard of progress, and 1t is their highest duty to subdue, en- slave, or eradicate the others. AS matter of faot, the clements of force, ferocity, or even courage, do not bring final sucssss in the struggle for ex- istence. Nothing enduring was ever wrought by force The cement which holds nations together is not power, but good will Empires have fallen and will fall, for they rest, one and ] all, on crumbling foundations, but no nation ever failed through excess of hrotherty love. and throughout nature there is bounty on the heads of wolves, hawks, hyenas, Caesars.

 The tnhuman features which have
 distinguished the dynastic state in our times are matters inspearable from autoeraey. Every charge made l against pan-Germany in the present
 war was justly charged against the
 war making of Louis WY, Broken treaties, ruthless invasions, permeat- ing intrigue, enslavement, rapine, and devastation entered into the war mak-
 ing of Louis the Magnificent, precise ly as into that of William II. The dy- nastic system is the root of war It rests on blood, treachery, and super stition, and there is little hope of last
 ing peace until all civilized nations cast aside its theory and it's practice. With the great cause of war out of the way 1t will be relatively easy to
 remove the minor incentives Reef procity must replace rivalry. This can only be done by the cooperation of the people concerned. And the cry of the French in the trenches must
 be the watchword of the future: "Ths people have been nothing; they must be everything"
