New Explosive,

The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter
mentions a new explosive being tested
by the government which will save a
considerable amount Of glycerin. 1t is
called nitrobyronel and is the product
of DR.. Byron e. Eldred. 1t is claimed
that it blows a chamber twice the size
of that caused by T. n. T. (trinitro-
tolueD. In the manufacture of nitro
byronel neither nitroglycerin nor to-
luol is used. 1t is hydrocarbon OBJ
tanned by by-product in coke-oven
processes.
It is estimated that 100000 pounds
of glycerin is used in American in
dustrial concerns, and big saving in
this important material, now growing
scarce, can be effected through the
employment of nitrobyronel.
If shortage OF yIycerin e'lo' Id be-
come imminent, -,;'o o., Pa: and
Drug Reporter believes that the gov
eminent would promptly start in to
manufacture nitrobyrunel.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER IN
FRANCE

Praise enough has been bestowed
upon our troops in France to turn the
heads of less, sensible men. Kings and
Presidents and Premiers ard Field
Marshals have paid tribute to their
skill, their valor, their discipline and
their fine spirit.
All of this is fine and stirring. But
to many a mother back home, nothing
Foch can say will seem quite so fine
as this-that the children of France
love the doughboys. That speaks
volumes, does it not? For while the
praise of Foch is quite sincere, no
doubt, still and all he is but gen.
eral praising soldiers, while the chill
dren, knowing nothing of their mill
tary qualities, having not the slightest
thought or need of playing diplomats,
love our men for what they are in
their hearts, fine and clean and friend
ly. We have made them soldiers, but
the children's perfectly ingenious tes-
timony assures US that in doing so
their natures have not been spoiled.
The schoolmaster of an unnamed
French village near the front asked
his pupils to write, without prepara-
ton, little compositions describing the
soldiers billeted in the ham,
let. A Captain of engineers obtained
the artless manuscripts and sent them
along to an English publication. They
are great reading, all thirteen Of
them, but few extracts must suffice:
"The one that l knew is tall, we'll
built. He is very amiable and kind to
children. Whenever he meets one on
the road he will stop his horses and
take him along. He is a horse driver.
When it is raining he does not care, he
will then whistle with all his might"
Cabannes.
"The American soldier has a great
love for his family. He always
speaks of his mother, of his father,
brothers and sisters. There is one
who comes to my house often. They
are jealous among themselves. When
one of them goes in a house to learn
if one day he finds another
fellow in that house, an American SOL
lier, he will not come back any more"
Lecommeres.

The plan of Representative Fess, of
Ohio, to invite all the big generals
over here to great big celebration on
the Fourth of July next is one worthy
Of putting into action. The people of
America celebrate their independence
from the yoke of the British oppressor
and now that we have a more friendly
and neighborly feeling for our cousins
across the big pond, and in view of the
fact that we have been standing to-
gether in the trenches alongside of
the British, French, Italians and 9TH
ers in the greatest war of all ages, it
will indeed be fitting day to have all
these nations that have been banded
together in this great worlds fight
for freedom, to come here and cele-
brate with US on this day in fete of
praise and thanksgiving that will bind
u closer in love and friendship to the
allied nations. We can now turn our

Aerial Postal Service.

Negotiations for aerial postal serv-
ice have been completed between the
British and Dutch governments, and
Holland is very busy making final ar
engagements. The journey from Am
sterdam to London would take but one
and one-half or two hours. The Dutch
military airmen, who have been in
training since the beginning of the
war, are to act as pilots and the min
istry of war is lending full co-opera-
ton to the scheme. On the same lines
an air service between Amsterdam and
Groigen is also being arranged. Ground
for large airdromes is being prepared
near the Dutch tropolis.-Scientific

IDEAS ABOUT AGE ARE WRONG
Writer Complains That World Thinks
Of All Men As II They
Were Young.

It is the fashion nowadays to speak
of youth of eighteen as II he were a
child, and of u man of thirty-five as
II he we're yet growing. The ancients
had no such ideas, and 1t has taken
the lack of seriousness Of the past
three or four generations to spread
them as they are. l often remember

Of the seventeenth century-to q N.
Lelglet, q man Of twenty-six. pro-
fessor Of rhetoric at the College d'Har-
court, rector of the Paris university.
Guy Patin says man Of twenty-six,
as he might have said man of forty
six; there is not the least intention Of
contrasting this mans years with his
high position. William Pitt was not
supposed either, to be crude youth,

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 15.-At meet
ing of the diocesan committee of the

here yesterday they decided to send
the following message to all county

of prospects for an early peace you
are all urged to redouble efforts in

it until all who are able to give have

Great problems in the labor world
are confronting the United States and
it IS going to require much skill and
diplomacy to bring about equitable
conditions in the labor world. We
read only yesterday that the govern
ment had closed down one Of their big
gas making plants that released fifty
thousand men. who had been receiving
wages ranging from $50 to $50 per
week This means that these men will
have to find work at greatly reduced
wages and it will not sit very well on
the sronachs of these laborers. So
cialisc agitators may attempt to keep
them stirred up and as we say it will
take tact and discretion to head off
a great feeling of unrest. Many other
factories and plants will undoubtedly
De closed soon as the government will
not need the materials needed for war
in times of peace and this will throw
many thousands more out of employ
ment to be put back into other lines
Of work. It is to be expected that the
big war wages paid these men will not
be maintained and it should not be ex-
pected, but there is one thing sure,
that the laboring men will have to be
paid wages commensurate with the
high cost of living. If living prices
come down corresponding then it will
be six of one and half dozen of the
other, but merchandise and living can
not stay up and wages come down,
there must be an equitable adjust
ment of the two in order to keep peace
and harmony in this country. Social
ism and anarchy are spreading as a
result of this war and the agitators
are going to leave no stone unturned
to foster dissention and strife among
the laboring classes. What we must
do in every line of business is to play
fair with the laboring men, sit tight
and not rock the boat. Conditions will
adjust themselves gradually.

Those who do not approve of the
election Of a republican congress are
predicting all kinds Of dire calamities
and scraps with President Wilson over
legislation. These croakers should
take something for what ails them
and cut out their everlasting croaking.
The republican majority in congress
has this country's interests at heart
just as much as have the democrats,
and all thru the war they have backed
up the president and his party to the
limit stronger than have the demo-
Gratis themselves. This country owns
much to the republican party who
have left great record behind them,
and we predict that what is good for
all the people will get the sanction of
a republican congress. The republican
party has always stood for construc-
tive legislation and it is not now going
to make the mistake of taking a back
ward step. Some of you calamity

your stomachs. This country has not
