Perhaps the mcst astounding thing
in connection with the world IS war is
the role that socialism has played in
favor of autocracy and in opposition
to democracy, freedom and the rights
of man. In Russia it has brought
about the collapse Of the contest a.
gainst the grim and unscrupulous alb
solutism Of Germany. In italy it has
helped in the great defeat of the lib
eral Italian government by the despot-
ic Teutons. In France it has done
everything in IFS power to weaken the
fight against the Hun. In America
it is playing its game for the kaiser
as against the United States Of Amer
lea: And in Germany itself has sup
ported the war from the beginning
and proved false to its every profess
sion Of few years ago. Socialism
has moral creed that is admirable
in many ways. Why must it in prac-
tice cleave to the enemies Of liberty
and do what it can to advance a bul.
lying peace which means no real
peace at all?-Boston Post.

The speech by Lloyd George, Pre-
mier of England, followed by the ad.
dress to congress by President Wilson,
setting forth the war aims of the en-
tente powers, are harmonious and are
80 at variance with the boasted con-
cessions that the central powers made
to Russia. ti,at there should Ire no
further question regarding the issues
at stake in this war. President Will
son enumerates fourteen demands, but
they all center around the one funda-
mental principle. that all differences
must hereafter be settled by the rules
Of justice rather than by force. Until
this principle is established there can
be no permanent peace. and it must
be established on something more
permanent than the promise of a
Hohenzollern.

The supreme court made short work
in dispensing Of the thirteen cases ap-

that under the constitution person

unanimous decision upholds the law.
Regarding claims for exemption on
the grounds Of religious convictions
the court says: we pass without any

Sioux City Journal: When Senator
La Toilette walked to the hall Of the
house to hear the presidents opening
address he walked alone. His fellows
summed him. When he took his seat
near the center aisle he sat alone.
None would sit willingly in his vicin-.
ity. When he arose to depart the
senators broke the long senatorial
tradition of courtesy by refusing the
pariah's company. And he asked the
sergeant-at-arms Of the senate to
walk with him back to the hall Of the
senate. The Brooklyn Eagle says
that queer expression was on the
senator's face. It is well that there
was.

UNITY in FILIPINO TRIBES

Ing. the Philippine Review says edi-

"While as matter of fact we have
TO acknowledge that sectional feeling
seemingly exists in the islands, it's ex-

The elements of unity are in actual ex-
istpnce, and sectional feeling will only
seomingly last while no actual inter-

real lack Of spirit Of nationality; and

Some interesting Letters from
THE Boys" !"
Remount Depot,
Camp Macarthur,
Waco, Texas.
Jan. 1, 1913.

Gentleman +
This war game is such strenu-
GUS life that q soldier finds little time
to write. however have decided that
| had better before going across the
water.
This camp is located in an ideal
spot among southern pine and live
oak. However, it is very dry and
the dust bothers us considerable. The
climate is fine it being very comfort
able in shirt sleeves today.
The 32nd division. composed of
Wisconsin and Michigan National
Guards, is located here, also an avia-
tion field and $50 Signal Corps men.
There are approximately so. 900 sol-
diers all told.
After spending three months at an
army Remount Depot shall endeavor
to give you an idea of the method
used by the government to equip the
various branches of the army with
horses and mules.
Every army training camp has a
Remount Depot equipped to handle
from FIVE to eight thousand animals.
Horses and mules are bought through
out the country and shipped to these
depots where they are turned into corr
rails which hold about five hundred
each. They are kept in these corrals
for three weeks, and then If in per-
feet health, are issued to the various
organizations Of the army. They con-
sist of artillery and cavalry horses,
wheel, lead, and pack mules. It may
be interesting to know that mules are
not used near the firing line for they
will not work under such conditions.
They become excited and unmanaga-
BILE and are used by supply companies
and ammunition trains only.
Every precaution is taken to pre-
vent disease among the animals. Sam
station. good feed and water prevent
much sickness and we firmly believe
in preventing rather than curing.
My work has been very interesting
and along with my regular duties l
am taking military training and stud
ying French. The Y. M. C. A. is.
doing splendid work here, and the
soldiers appreciate what the people
are doing for them.
wish / were with the rest of the
boys from Scotland, but such are the
destinies of war.
Yours very truly,

everything is treasure in its artistic
beauty. Their beds are at least three
feet thick. The thing that worries
me is how to get into them. They
are as high as ones head, and all
feathers. There is also another feath-
er mattress which goes over the body.
That seems to be one thing they be-
lieve in enjoying, sleep. intend to
sleep in one sometime just to see how
it feels. l imagine that is about as
close to sleeping on a cloud as one
will ever get.

an oasis in the desert, to be able to
walk into one of these places, where
English is spoken, American maga-

where one can buy real candy. That
is the scarcest thing in France. If
get nothing else for Christmas, /
want large box of good candy. The
fellows seem to crave American Can.
dy and Tobacco more than anything
else.
The Y. M. c. A. Secretary here
told me this morning that he had a
shipment of tobacco and Bibles COM
ing; the Bibles arrived and the to-
bacco didn't. He said he wished it
had been the OTHER WAY. The Y.
M. c. A. is certainly doing wonder

dy who has spent several years in

two of us who are going to take these
lessons, and her charge is ! franc or
10 cents per lesson of a half hour.
That is all the time she can give US,
as she is instructing six Majors also,
and she will take only two students
at time. l asked her how long the
people in France think the war will
last and she said they wouldn't even
venture to offer an opinion, as they
thot it would last only a few months
at first, but that it had been going on
nearly four years, and there was no
end in sight.

SUCCESS
SUCCESS

The brilliant spectacle play, The
Torchbearers, which was given by the
Civic Players for the benefit of the Jew
ish War Sufferers Fund, was in every
respect a magnificent success. Not only
was the pageant the most elaborate
theatrical production ever presented in
the Twin Cities, but the attendance on
the evening of the performance, and the
financial return which crowned the ef-
forts of these workers for the Jewish
War Sufferers Fund broke all records
for any similar undertakings in the past
Approximately nine thousand persons
crowded the grand stands at the Fair

eight thousand dollars will be realized
over all expenses when the reports of
the numerous ticket-selling teams are
