THE WAR

The past week has witnessed some
heavy artillery duels and many
trench encounters on the French and
italian fronts In which the Allied
forces came out victorious.
The much advertised German on
slaught on the western front is still
confined to the German papers and
Won Hindenburg.
As yet, 1t is not definitely known
how many were lost In the Tuscania
disaster, but 1t is safe to say the VIC
tins will run up close to 200. A dis
patch from Scotch seaport, Feb
ruary 12th says:
Up to Tuesday night Ill victims Of
the Tuscania disaster had been laid
to rest at different points on the
Scottish coast, divided as follows:
American soldiers l3l identified,
33 unidentified.
Members OF the crew. identified,
3 unidentified.
The last seventeen bodies recovered
were all Americans. They were
buried this afternoon, villagers COM
ing miles In down-pour Of rain to
pay tribute. At the graves surviving
American soldiers sang 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" and the natives
sang "God Save the King" followed
by the usual salute.
Temporary fences were built around
the graves, to be replaced by n per-
manent enclosure as soon As the
materials can be brought to the des-
olate shores.

A Feat Of seamanship

Let US pay tribute to Officers aud
men, sailors and soldiers, engineers
and coal beavers who had to do with
the saving Of life In the Tuscania
sinking. 1t was feat Of seamanship
that will live as long as any annal of
the sea. What was accomplished on
that night by all concerned In the
salvage of life Is u credit to the brav-
cry Of our race, to It's ingenuity and
determination. The German subma-
rine warfare In this last year has
brought to the front attributes which
some thought had disappeared from
the Anglo-Saxo people In their years
OF Incidence.
The test supplied in the Tuscania
sinking called for the finest form Of
bravery. 1t required efficiency and
patience and coolheadedness. Here
was ship struck In u vital part and
liable to go under at any nom ent,
bearing maximum cargo Of human
souls that had to be taken of and
given succor by various means, all
without moments loss. The night
was dark. we are told, and heavy
sea was running. The blow from the
submarine lifted the vessel and
smashed some OF the lifeboats and
made others impossible to launch.
lowering near, to strike again, was
the undersea vermin, that had to be
guarded against, while the rescue
WAS taking place. Out Of 2, 400 persons
on board, all but but . hundred or .
hundred and one were taken of and
landed.
Most of those on board were SOL
diers who had undergone a period Of
training. This made the work OF
rescue 80 much easier. The men were
going over to face death In the tren-
ches or wherever they might be call
ed and they had had 1t driven into
them for months before they sailed
that the way to conserve life 10 to
obey and act together and work to-
gether, bet Abovs'a all else to accept
orders and carry them out In good
faith. The report from the rescuing
fleet are that the men carried on as
would have been expected Of them.
No furry and little excitment pre-
vailed among the men, who walked
to their boat posts as II they had
been on the battle-ground. German
frightfulness has been met by Anglo
American fortitude, courage and per-
sonal bravery and an exalted altru-
ism.-Denver News

The Ayarage Citizen

The following editorial appeared In
the Muskogee Times Democrat Of
January IL, 1918:
II am the avarage citizen. In the
early morning walk mile or 80 to
my office and swear because the
street cars are not running and am
incovenienced. During the day the
gas Is weak and the Office tempsrture
Is low. rave at the gas company.
At home at night I let out big ro.r
because the grocer has not delivered
my order and the coal man has failed
to appear. My wife says the house is
cold and forsooth / beat 1t to the back
yard aud rustic enough kindling and
slack coal to make fire in the CRATE.
Then get my evening paper and
settle down to read with the feeling
that have had a very strenuous day;
yes, and that the world Is going
badly. / have had repeated incon-
veniences and apnoyances.
"But what I do not think about,
and what you do not remember, my
friend. is that 1t ia as cold or colder
In France as 1t Is In Muskogee. That

mile or so to our offices hundreds of

A Hint to The Aged

If people past sixty years Of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, espec-
tally II they take Cbamberlain's q
Cough Remedy. There would also be
less danger of the cold being followed
by any Of the more serious diseases.

from the ninetcc-twenty group and

said the eighteen year old class is to

said Gen. March, provides for five
divisions in October, four in Novcm-
Der, four in December, four in Janu-

June 30, there is to be an average OF

THE ANSWER.
New York SUM-

Perhaps no document proceeding
from the presidents capable intel
lectuals has ever gone so swiftly to
the heart of the question ur disposed
with such candid and yet subtle dia-
Leslie skill of dangerously plausible
trick of the enemy's diplomacy as his
reply yesterday, through Mr.. Lam
sing, to Prince Maximiliian's peace
proposals.
Ten thousands words of amplifica-
ton could add naught to this incom-
parably effective repsonse. 1t argues
nothing, 1T promises nothing, but Sc
rcnely and without the least buster
of rhetorical phrase it hamstrinps
the kaiser's stalking horse.
1--WE are ready to accept your we'll
known terms of peace as the basis of
negotiations" said Prince Maximil-
ian. do you mean that you accept
those well known terms ?" replies the
president.
We propose an armisticc while the
negotiations are going on" said the
Prince. There can be no armisticc."
replies the president, while your
troops are i'll the territory you have
invaded"
I'VE are ready for parley with a
view to peace" said Prince MaximiI-
IAN. of whom are you s~eakinp 2"
replies the president. at is vital
that we should know whether we are
parieving with the German people
Ior with the criminals who involved
the civilized world in this awful war.
with them, devoid of honor, as
have remarked before, we have no
common language and can have no
thought in common"
That is all, but it is enough; and
1t is as incontrovertible in its ma
Jestic simplicity as the law govern
ing the movements of the heavenly
bodies, and as beautiful as the Amer
lean flag.
