POLES FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Legion Of Soldiers Of That Nation.
allty Are Cooperating With the
Allies In France.

Napoleon once said of the Polish
army, 1T is the best" Almost since
the beginning Of the war it has been
the ambition of the Poles again to
distinguish themselves in the field, re-
gain their ancient prestige and win
from the world the admission that
their services entitle their nation to
autonomy and independence.
Russia for political reasons discour-
aged the idea of distinctive Polish
army both under the rule Of the car
and under Kerensky. OF course under
the bolsheviki the agitation ended. So
the Poles turned to France, which
babe them welcome and in an order
dated June 4, 1917, decreed the crea-
ton Of distinct Polish legion.
Now the legion, which has grown so
fast that 1t is really an army, is about
to take its place on the battle line,
having been modified in a great camp
named Sille-le-Guillaume near lie
Mans. The uniform is the same as
the French. with the exception Of a
distinctive headdress, the "czapka."
The officers are Frenchmen and Poles
who have served In France.
It will be news to most Americans
that since the early days of January
large detachments Of well-drilled Poles
have been arriving in France from the
United States. They are the regi-
ments which Ignace Paderewski was
tireless and devoted in recruiting.

cHAPLAlNs TELL OF FRONT
Moral and Religious Situation There
Declared to Be Excellent, and
Will stay That Way.

Chaplains Francis B. Doherty and
Lyman Rollins have just returned
from France on military mission to
the United States.
Chaplain Doherty Is attached to gen.
eral headquarters in France, being as
ISOLATED with Bishop Charles H. Brent
and Chaplain Paul Dwight Moody (son
of the well-known evangelist of that
name) in the general headquarters
chaplains Office. The function of this
Office is, declares the religious public
ity committee, the direction and dis
tribution Of chaplains' activities In
France to the end of the attainment Of
the best and special interests of all
concerned, under General Pershing.
This work carries with 1t considerable
travel and gives an intimate knowledge
Of the situation from religious and
moral point of view.
From this broad knowledge Chap
lain Doherty says: Everywhere we
find the same situation, here the same
story; the condition and the spirit Of
the men are excellent" When leaving
France on his present mission the
chaplain asked General Pershing:
MAY we not tell our people in Amer
lea that the moral and religious situa-
ton here Is eminently high and very
satisfactory" The reply was: Eyes,
and you may say furthermore, that 1t
is going to be kept up to that"
Chaplains Doherty and Rollins spoke
enthusiastically of the altogether adj
mirable spirit of fraternity existing
between those who are 1ninistering to
our soldiers. The Catholic chaplains,
they say, are not merely looking to
the good Of the Catholic boys nor the
Protestant to that of the Protestant
boys: each is working for the best in
terest of every man.

"ceIluion," New Wood Pulp Fiber

"ceIluion;" New Wood Pulp Fiber.
There has, says the Board of Trade
Journal, been much discussion in the
German press during recent weeks con-
corning wood pulp fiber named "Cel-
lulon," for which large claims are
made as an efficient substitute for jute,
cotton and other fibers. It appears to
be certain that the fiber is not made
by spinning long strips Of paper run
off reels through water in the manner
which German paper textile substi-
tutes have made familiar. The &C.
counts agree in describing the proc
ess, or processes, as direct manu-
facture from wood pulp. The con-
sui general at Zurich, who has. pre-
sented a report to the foreign Office,
states that the method employed op-
crates on the same general lines as
that used for artificial silk manufac-
ture-that is, by squeezing pulp un-
der high pressure through small holes
in plates.-Engineer.

BY DECREE OF FASHION

At the Madison Square Garden
show last month, we learn from the
New York Herald, there appeared no
classes for locked saddle horses, the
type having become SO extinct that
the few shown will have to compete
in the same classes with the long
tailed horses of the type which now
are generally seen on bride paths
and in show rings. How far public
opinion against the cruelty involved
in docking horses is operating to end
the inhumane practice we do not
know. According to the showmen it
is only fashion whose judgment has
.cOunted.-Dumb Animals.

England Grows sunnowers.

The big war revival in agriculture is
producing many interesting expert
ments In the growing Of new crops on
land not in use for growing human
food. For example, a big area in Eng
land is now, on the suggestion Of the
food production department. planted
with sunfowers, the seeds of which
are valRable both as a source Of oil
and for poultry food.
Small cultivators are also urged by
the government to sow sugar beets as
an improved food for stock, especially
for pigs. Farmers whose cereal crops
have failed owing to attacks from diff
ferent parasites are advised to grow
instead linseed. The latest reports
from the country show unprecedented
activity in potato planting in spite Of
the bad weather last spring.

FROM A BLACKFooT SOLDIER.

The following poem was written
by Leland Merrill, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. H. Merrill. who is in training
at Camp Lewis.
He left with the draft contingent
in June, and is in the Machine Gun
company.
We Are Coming Home.
Declareth I, as / watch the sky,
"The din of Hell is over,
The stars pause in their dreamy
course,
And shine in brilliant splendor.
It is the sign of all the times,
That peace has. come again to
reign.
And we, the men full trained for war,
Will board home-bound train,
And all the warriors cross the sea,
Who've fought so valiently,
Will now return to their home land,
To live in full earned victory.
By day the sun doth brighter shine,
The clouds float high and silvery,
We soldier boys await our turn,
On Uncle Sans delivery.
Those mothers, wives and sweet
hearts,
To our bosoms we'll press,
While fathers and brothers standing
by,
Will not miss their caress.
Still, on the horizon hang black
clouds,
From many they hide the sun,
For among the boys who come
marching home,
cd ~ 1N{vx
Sadness-darkness-gloom, but still
with pride,
In many hearts are wrought,
For war has been and took his toll,
OF those who nobly fought.
But with their lives and with their
blood,
Peace, Justice, Liberty are bought.
Private Leland H. Merrill.

Nails Turned Out in Quantities

Formerly the metal for making nails
was cut into strips and then forged in
to shape with hammers, and an expert
took about one minute and a half for
each nail. Today they are made Of
steel and are. lighter and stronger.
Strips are cut with steam shears and
fed into automatic nail machines. One
man, who tends three machines, drops
q nail every second.

WAR AND HUMANE EDUCATION

Probably the most of our readers
believe that our entrance as a nation
into the war was inevitable. Being
In 1t, there has been nothing to do,
but stay in 1t until the ends that
seemed to justify our entrance have
been attained. This certainly does
not mean for many Of us. that we be-
lieve In war any more today than
four years ago, or that we are any
less opposed to militarism and all
that goes with 1t. We still hold that
war is not only blunder and crime
against humanity, but that it is no
more necessary than a personal en-
counter with fists or guns is neces-
sary between us and our neighbors.
One sthousandth part of the time and
money spent in building battleships
and in training men for war, spent
in the schools of the nations teach
Ing children the elemental principles
of Justice, fair play and humanity,
and there neither would nor could
have occurred this murderous war
which has turned SO much of the
world into slaughter-house.
And what of humane education
today? For the moment, It'll the
tumult and the shouting dies" it
must step aside into the shadow and
bide its time. 1t is war now, war, so
far as we can see, from which we
could not shrink, that holds the
worlds attention. Even the schools
where humane education has had so
wide and fruitful field are occupied
to no small degree with services con-
.nected with war. Principals and
teachers and pupils are too interested
quite naturally, in winning the war,
to be very hospitable to the message
whose one supreme note is the death
knell of strife, injustice and war.
But this will pass. The hour is
coming when the most hated and ex-
ecrated thing in the thoughts of men
will be war. When even youth it.
self, taught by millions of its elder
brothers returned from the face to
face encounter with the CHASTITY facts
of war. will be delivered from the
spell and glamour of what has
seemed from afar SO alluring in its
power to excite the Imagination and
to stir the blood. Then our day will
come again. The things for which
humane education stands will claim
their rightful place in the minds of
men, as will all the things of the
spirit, for the moment overshadowed
by the dark clouds of war.-Dumb
