there are no seats, the men standing or sitting on the ground. The negroes in Camp Pike seem to be a happy con- tented bunch and so far there has never been the slightest disturbance or trouble with any of them.
 If you have had any idea that Camp Pike is only tenn porary sort of army canton ment you should see the three great warehouses going up on the north side of the track. They are each 500 feet long and 60 feet wide with an 812 foot platform running the full length a floor space of over 100000 square feet. They have cement foundation pill lars and heavy firewalls. They are only a part of the building that is going on all the time at the camp, and it is expected that similar row of ware houses will soon be lining the south side of the track.
 Some at least of our boys will be surprised when they reach the French areas and find the native soldiers playing croquet with great deal of vim and enthusiasm. Another American game that is making a hit with the French is pitch ing horseshoes. One great les son for the popularity of these games is that they require lit tie space and equipment and do not attract the attention of the enemy gunners as do the games that require many men or attract a large number of bystanders.
 Life at Camp Pike is begin ming to take on a rosier hue for the new men who are just now emerging from their two weeks quarantine. They have had their small pox and ty- phoid shots and are ready for real work. They are finding it pretty hot drilling out in the sun and dust and are of course complaining just as the fellows did who were working here in the winter in the mud and the snow. One of the greatest boons of being out of quaran- tine is the privilege of visiting the "Y" buildings. We have a mighty clean bunch of boys here in the ten thousand new arrivals, and they are going to give the I'M P's" much less trouble than did a lot of men from the great northern cities.
 It isn't new of course for it has been told many times and yet it continues to happen every time a batch of new men go through the hands of the examiners here. Asked as to his nearest liv1ng relative, the man answered, My Aunt A little later he said his par ents were living. "But you said your aunt was your near est living relative" remonstrat- ed the officer. ''She is, My parents live in Ohio and my aunt lives over in Tennessee. :"

CAMP PIKE NOTES


 one of the most popular men in the camp, has the following tribute to pay to the Army Y. M. c. A.
 "Your trained officers of the regular army take off their hat to no military men in the world. We can train your sons, with the splended prod ucts of the training camps, so that they will have a 50-50 chance with the best trained German soldier that ever climbed out of trench. But your American boys deserve more than 5O-50 chance. They should have the edge on the Hun. There is just one in- stitution that can give them that edge-the army Y. M. c. A. That institution keeps the boys in touch with home, de- velopes that pride in home, pride in locality, pride in state that taken collectively makes for what we call morale, and it spells the difference between the soldiers who win and the soldiers who lose.
 "The Old Sunday School room at home cannot follow your sons. The familiar old church cannot be where it's influence can be felt. But the Y. M. c. A. can make the in- fuence of the old church, the old Sunday School, the old home felt by the boys clear up to the front line trenches. l am proud as an officer in the United States Army to say that I endorse and stand for the Army Y. M. c A.
 Fewer men have been re- jected from the recent selec- tive draft arrivals than from any previous quota. We do not know whether the examin- ing boards are using better judgment or whether they just had a better lot of men to pick from, but they sent in splen- did bunch of fellows who are taking hold of the work in a most efficient way. Two weeks in uniform makes all the diff ference in the world in the car riage and appearance of a man and some of the new em- bryo soldiers would hardly be recognized were they to walk into their homes even now.
 A recent popular army dic- tionary defines "Gimmie" as 'The most popular disease in the army.
 A letter from a former Camp Pike officer who is now in the trenches in France to a broth CT officer here suggests two things he might be doing to prepare himself for overseas service study French and to sprout mustache. One is a necessity and the other is a luxury, but they both help.

pertinent in this new situation to point
out that the Huns do not accept their

and that from the beginnings of the

CURRENT COMMENT
Bernstorf's List-Two Types Of Mind.

Ambassador Bernstorff was manifest.
ly anxious to include as many men as
he could in the "pro- German" list which
his agent, Fuhr, prepared for him in
1915, and which Mr. Bielash made pub
lie yesterday in his testimony before
the Senate judiciary subcommittee. If
some professor or press writer had writ
ten a studiously neutral book or article,
or had appraised the relations of the
belligerent countries in the coldly real
istic German manner, BernstorH quick
ly assumed that the man was "deutsch-
freundlich," and wrote his name down
in his book of dishonor. 1t will not do
to assume that Agent Fuhr had any
other basis than this for his inclusion
of several names in the Bielaski list.
But there are, nevertheless, in that list
the names of some men who were steadi.
ly willing to do the Germans dirty
work, They at least have earned their
dishonor and time will award it to them
in full measure.
There was a time, in the period when
the war of the nations was new and the
United States was not yet in, when the
hearts of men were deeply searched with
out their knowing it. II was the dispo-
sition of the scientific student of history
to examine the bearing upon the war Of
questions of food supply, Of the relation
of population growth to national terri
tory, of raw material to manufacturers,
and matters of that sort. Some men lost
the moral viewpoint in that kind Of
study. But others were moved by great
er considerationss-by immortal emo.
tions which partake of the quality of
vision. Such minds saw through the
clouds of interest, discerning the vast
issue of eternal right and wrong which
lay beneath the camor Of the conflict.
II may well be that no reproaeh will
ever attach to these academic neutrals,
to the cold historical analysis of the bal
ancing period, but neither viii any such
lustre ever illumine their names as that
which shines today on the records Of our
young scholars and poets and profession

among the dry archives of history, but
sprang instantly to the banners Of
France and England, recognizing God

Hearst may not be guilty of any
wrong doing in connection with the pro-
German propaganda in the United States,
but he was guilty of gross misiudgment
when he referred in a message on Feb.
"a, 1917, to the "high-minded and hu.
mantarian rulers and political leaders"
of Germany. This, mind you, was more
than two years after these same German
rulers and political leaders had torn up
the scrap of paper which promised to
maintain the neutrality Of Belgium and
after the worst crimes in the calendar of
the vicious had been committed against
the civilians of invaded Belgium under
the very eyes of those high minded
rulers and political leaders How Hearst
could have come to that conclusion under
the knowledge which the whole world
possessed is a mystery. Even the license
Of speech which some persons employ
now and then would not have permitted
him TO make an observation so wide of
the mark as to refer to the leaders of
Germany in the war as either high-mind.

One of the advantages to accrue from
President Wilson's trip to Europe will be
that it will enable him to get more
clear idea of the European viewpoint of
the war. 1t is impossible for an Amer
lean, who has not been in Europe during
the war period, to gain an adequate con-
ception of the enormity of the crime
that has been committed against human
ity in the more than four years of strug-
gle. BY going to Europe and associating
to certain extent with the officials and
the peoples of the countries involved,
President Wilson will no doubt be in
much better position to form judgments
which are according to the apparent die
tates of justice, In other words, he will
get more accurate Interpretation Of the
viewpoints of Great Britain, France, Bel
gium, Italy and other countries, even of
the German people themselves.

colors. And, indeed, the reality is a
scene of beauty. The river Rhine which
further up runs through narrow deep de-
files with yineyard-clad sides, begins to
broaden out in majesty near Cobenz and
its waters sweep outward to the North
sea in a broad, powerful movement. By
this time the American soldiers have
seen the ancient castles elinging to the
precipitous sides of the cliffs that border
the Rhine at certain places, and the more
imaginative of them have already woven
wonderful tales of romance about these
castles. The more prosaic of them have
looked across the river from Coblenz and
have seen the towering natural battle
ments of one of Germany's chief defenses
on the west, the Notifications of Ehren-
breitstein, whose frowning front seems
to stand forth in surly guardianship,
which reflects its spirit on the soldiery
who were wont to move haughtily about
in the shadow of its strength. These
Notifications were constructed in the
ten-year period from 1916 to 1926 at a
cost of $6,o00000 an expenditure which
in those days must have been considered
very lavish, The Notifications are ca
