For each captive balloon a company

These men not only have to look After
the ascent, descent and housing OF

airplanes. for which five machine guns
and two pompoms or cannon of IL
inch caliber are employed. The former
are provided with corrected sights
and fire tracer and explosive bullets.
while the latter can attain range OF
two and a quarter miles.
Another method Of defense 10 rapid
descent. which is accomplished by
means of revolving winches fixed on
automobiles or horsed wagons. The
steel cables are passed round these
winches and the balloon can be brought

its size. which is considerable, rs it
contains 500 cubic meters OF gas.

Canadian Soldiers Elect War
Nurse to Seat in Parliament
Ia'1FTW
'sWe Stand for the
"Fighting E2iIes, ="
Declares Miss RO-
bertu MdcAdar71.

Edmonton. Alberta, Jan. IA wom-
an will represent Canadian soldiers
fighting "over there" in the Alberta
parliament.
And she's q Red Cross nurse, too.
She is Miss Roberta MacAdam.
Canadian boys training in England
and holding the line in Flanders have
their own representatives in their home
law making body. No small town poll
tician or big city ward boss selects
their representatives and no lawyer
politician 'acts' for them in their par
lament.
These soldier boys held their election
in camp and trench, picking two repre-
sentatives from those in service over
there.
They chose Miss MacAdam, now in
England in the Canadian military nurs-
ing service. and Captain r. Pearson,
now in France battling against the
Germans. Both will now return and
take their seats in the provincial legis-
1ature. They will voice the opinions
and wishes of the boys doing the fight
ing. They know what these boys want
how and after the war is over. That
was why Alberta asked her boys in
England and France to elect their own
representatives.
There were 81 candidates for the two
seats, all in service across the Atlantic.
In a letter to her home folks, written
after her election, Miss MacAdam ex-
planned her platform" the one which
carried her into parliament.
we stand for the fighting exlcs,"
she wrote, referring to the Canadian
soldiers in overseas service. "Our prob
lem," she adds, sis. after the war; to
find employment for the returned peo-
pie without any hardship to those who
have been carrying it on in their alb
scnce."
Miss MacAdam is nurse-and a
good one. But apparently she is as
much concerned in the soldiers welfare
after the war as she now is saving their
lives when they come to her wounded
from the front. In letters she has cx-
pressed tho opinion that one of the
greatest of war problems is the after
war question-getting back to normal
national life with the minimum of un-
employment.
Pensioning them is not her scheme.
She does not want them to be made
charity wards of the Canadian govern
ment. What she proposes is to open
opportunity for them on the land. or
by giving them special training in other
voeations. so that all may not only
make their living but do better.
The province Of Alberta awaits the
coming of it's first woman lawmaker.
She will get a corking big welcome.
But what Alberta can't understand is
why the United States doesn't invite
American soldiers cover there" to send
representatives of their own ranks to
state legislatures and the national con-
greSs.

Tepnx,oh's Call to America.

In 1852, at a time when Alfred Tennyson, whose
love Of freedom was imperative and intense, was
apprehensive lest France, under Napoleon III,
would be a serious menace to the peace of the
world, he wrote a national song entitled Hands
All Round;" in which song he called repeatedly
for health to "the great name OF England" and
to "the great cause of freedom" not emitting a
health ito France, the wiser France" and ending
with two stanzas addressed to Americans, our
great kinsmen of the West"
The song was entirely recast in 1882 and pub
lished in celebration of the establishment OF the
British Empire under Queen Victoria. The two
stanzas relating America, stanzas four and hive,
were omitted and are to be found in the biography
of Tennyson, and in an appendix to the Eversley
edition of Tennyson's poems think they are
worth rescuing from obscurty and reprinting;
readers can Judge how well they fit the times.
Here they are:
Gigantic daughter of the West,
We drink to thee across the flood
We know thee most, we love thee best
Should wars mad blast again be blown,
Permit not thou the tyrant powers
To fight thy mother here alone
But let thy broadsides roar with ours.
Hands all round!
God the tyrant's cause confound
To our great kinsmen of the West, my friends,
And the great name of England round and round.
o rise, our strong Atlantic sons,
When war against our freedom springs!
speak to Europe thro' your guns!
They can be understood by kings.
You must not mix our Queen with those
That wish to keep their people fools;
Our freedoms foemen her foes,
She comprehends the race she rules.
Hands all roundl
God the tyrants cause confoundl
To our great kinsmen of the West my friends.
And the great cause of freedom round and round

Socialism Must Be Rescued.

AS most of our readers know Allan Benson has
joined with John Spargo, Charles Edward Russell
and William English Walling in boiling the pro-
German gang which constitutes the majority So
cialist party in the United States,
The redemption of Socialism from this stain
is one of the imperative duties of the hour unless
the name and the organization and the philosophy
it embodies are to be sunk and smothered under
public obliquy.
This is what the New York World says about
it:
when Allan Benson, Socialist candidate for
President, says the foreign elements in control of
the party are 'non-American,' he does not over
state the case made against them by their own
words and their own acts.
an the first session of the Socialist State con-
vention lately held in New York, Morris Hillquit
says Socialists must stand behind the pro- German
/. w. w. with all their hearts and souls Otto
Branstettet National Committeeman, says 'Repub-
licans and Democrats beside you on your work
benches giving until it hurts" for a cause-for
purposes-from which you Socialists are
largely exempt they should raise instead mil
ion-dollar campaign fund A resolution protest
ing against restriction of free speech is passed.
Objection is made to delegate because he had
engaged in the sale of thrift stamps but this after
conference, was withdrawn Nevertheless, his crime
not forgotten. Named for lieutenant governor,
he was set aside for woman who appears not to
have been so guilty.
$50 for the present it would seem that the proc
ess which is driving Americans like Benson, Rus
sell and Walling out of the party is to continue.

ling foreign remnant the grip of malignant Ger
