more important to the development
of the race than legislatures. Shaks-
pere invented King Lear and all the
world has went. Stradivarius in
vented the model of his violin and
the emotions of a world have been
stirred by the marvellous .harmonies
evoked by the hand Of the artist,
from his Incompatible instruments.
Marconi invented the paraphernaIia
by, which to hang his thoughts upon
an electrical wave and impart them
to his brother across the sea. The
Wrights of Dayton learned to fly al
birds and men have calmly sailed
above the thunder clouds of Jove, tho
many have failed to properly plume
their wings and so have fallen and
died, martyrs to an art that soon will
change the whole environment of
man. But pseudo legislators clutter
up the books with pseudo laws which.
when applied wreak~injustice as often
as they administer equity and are a
sinecure only to the lawyer who
pleads in order to confuse the issue.
With the engines of war turned to
work in the arts of peace, with fewer
but more skillful laws, to bring not
fees, but equity, with national pol
icy adequate to the occasion, we can
stand among the nations of the earth
favored indeed. Lester Warner.

SINKING GERMANY'S
CAPTURED SHIPS
IN ORDER TO AVOID FRICTION
BETWEEN ALLIES, FAVORED
BY AMERICA
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Dec. ia resolution
asking the state department to in
form the Senate whether the Ameri-
can peace commissioners are advocat-
ing the destruction of German war
ships and other enemy property, and
II so, by what authority, was intro
duced by Senator Lodge, minority
leader without discussion and re-
ferred to the foreign relations com.
mittee.
A dispatch from Paris says that
the American delegates to the peace.
congress have resolved to advocate
the sinking of surrendered enemy
warships- and resist any proposition
to distribute them on the basis OF
naval losses.
This announcement was made by
those in close touch with the Amer
lean representatives, who, it is add
ed, feel that such position would re-
suit in avoiding contention and ma
terially, support President Wilson's
declaration that the war was not
based on aggression or acquisition of
property. England, through Sir Eric
Geddes, first lord of the admiralty,
had previously acquiesced in the Am
erican plan to destroy surrendered
warships, an dwill continue to sup.
port the United States, although it is
expected some lesser naval powers
will demand that the prizes be dis
tributed.

Maybe you have heard pigs being
butchered. It sounded like that when
we got to them. When they attacked
US they yelled to beat the band. 1
guess they thought they could scare
US. But you cannot scare machine
guns nor the foreign legion either. So
when they could not scare us they
were up against it and had to fight.
l will admit, though, that the first
time Fritz came over and began yell
Ing l thought the whole German army
was after me, at that, and Kaiser Bill
playing the drum. And how they hate
bayonet! They would much rather
sit in ditch and pot you.
l admit am not crazy about bayo-
net fighting myself, as a general prop
osltion, but I will say that there have
been times when I was serving a gun
behind the front lines when 1 wished
for rifle and bayonet in my hands
and chance at Fritz man to man.
1t was in this charge that our chap
lain was put out of commission. AS
we were lined up, waiting to climb on
to the fire step and then over the par
apet, this chaplain came down the
line speaking to each man as he went.
He would not say much, but just
few words, and then make the sign of
the cross. He was in black cassock.
He was just one man from me as
we got the word and stood up on the

much as pin, but he jumped up on

CHAPTER VI.
Fritz Does a Little "Strafeino."

Fritz Does Little "Strafeine."
My outfit was one Of those that saw
the Germans place women and chill
dren In front Of them as shields
against our fire. More than third Of
our men, should say, had been pretty
tough criminals in their own countries.
They always traded their pay against
handful of cards or roll of the
bones whenever they got a chance.
They had been in most Of the dirty
parts of the world. This war was not
such much to them; just one more
Job In the list. They could call God
and the saints and the human body
more things than any boss stevedore
that ever lived.
Yet they were religious in way.
Some Of them were always reading
religious books or saying prayers in
different ways and between them they
believed In every religion and super
stition under the sun, guess. Yet
they were the toughest bunch I ever
saw.
After they saw the Germans using
the Belgian women the way they did,
almost every man In my company took
some kind Of VOW or other, and
most Of them kept their vows, too, I
believe. And those that we're religious
got more so after that.
Our chaplain had always been very
friendly with the men, and while
iyoly L
tough they would never admit it, and
some of them claimed he was Jonah,
or jlnx, or bad luck Of some kind. But
