Scripture and Profanity Mixed.

The Bible and profanity were
strangely intermingled In the congress
a few days ago. Senator Overman
made the statement that President
Wilson "has been criticized in many
instances, for instance. for not taking
senator's into his confidence" To which
Senator Reed remarked: "Oh hell !"
Senator overman expressed the hope
that this expression would go into the
Record. Subsequently Senator Over
nan read into the Record a section of
the eighteenth chapter of Exodus, de-
scrfbing how Aaron and Hur sat by
the side Of Moses and held aloft his
hands throughout the day while the
conflict between the army of Israel and
the srmy 81 Amslek was In progress.

1.-THE psychology of the dog in war is
a subject to consider now that the
military demand for dogs in growing"
said Cleveland Il. Ellis. of Raleigh,
n. C., recently. Dogs are invaluable
in trench warfare. 'They scent the
enemy's approach, carry messages and
locate the wounded. The thoroughbred
dog is usually good at one or two
things. The p~edigreed prize-winning
dog is good to be looked upon. and not
much more.
But there is another dog. a very
useful dog, and plenty Of him. This
Is the stray dog Of the street, eur by
general repute and miscellaneous by
breeding"

GLOOMY PICTURE
 DRAWN BY SOLON
Senator McCumbeP Declares United States Must Send 5,OO0,OOO Men to European Battleflelds-Speed
 Up Shipbuilding.

Washington, Jan. i6.-Senator Me- Cumber, of North Dakota. this morning gave the senate a gloomy picture of the position of the United States and of the entente allies in emphasizing his plea for radical speeding up of the shipbuilding pro- gram.
 He declared that England now is bearing the brunt of the war, and asked. How long can she stand the strain?"
 The United States must send five million troops to balance the man power of the central powers, he de- clared, and seven million would be needed to make the Germans re- treat.
 Senator McCumber declared that the idea of pointing out our weak ness discouraged the American peo- pie and encouraged the enemy was a mistaken one, and he declared that we must now learn the lesson that boasting will not win the war"
 The senator declared that the cen tral powers control three times as much territory in Europe as the en- tente allies do, and declared that he IS tired of hearing that Germany could be forced to submission by starvation.
 The balance of resources held in this country he said, should not be considered until there was tonnage sufficient to carry men and products across the seas.
 The entente powers have about reached their limit" Senator Me- Cumber declared. "To balance the man power of the central powers, this country would have to send five million men"
 And to make the Germans re- treat" Senator McCumber added, seven million men from the United States will be required"
 Russia and Rumania are out of the war" Senator McCumber de- clared. Italy is unable to make any headway. The wall of opposi- ton at the eastern end of the battle line in continental Europe is crumb- ling.
 Who can say how long Italy can or will withstand the Teutonic pres sure2 Optimistic, indeed. must be the man who win say single year, without additional support"

Hertling Co Acquiesce in Russian Program of No Annexations or Indemnity and Definition
 -Lenine Is Fired Upon.

London, Jan. t6.-Apparently an agreement has been reached in Ger many between the political and mill itary parties in order to avoid furth- CT friction.
 A Berlin newspaper states that Chancellor von Hertlin's plan to ac- quiese in the Russian program of no annexations or indemnities and the right of elf-determination of peo- pies, is to prevail in the east, and that Field Marshal von Hindenberg will have full liberty in the west, in the event of a German victory there, to deal with possible annexations.
 The peace movement in Germany IS gaining adherents, according to Count von Reventlow, who always has been strong pan-German.

Germanc Transferring Troops to West Front for Concentrated Ef- fort-Severe Food Shortage
 Longing for Peace.

London, Jan. i8.--A telegram from Rotterdam says that beginning to- day all railroad passenger traffic in Germany is being reduced 50 per cent The published explanation is that foodstuifs and other goods which have accumulated at certain centers must be distributed. Correspon- dents who send the reports to Lon don say. however, that there is ev- cry reason to believe the transfer of troops to the western front is the real reason, adding that it is report ed these troops are to be moved sud- denly for concentrated offensive.
 Severe Food Shortage.
 The Times publishes a long report attributed Go a neutral who has made an extended stay in Germany, describing internal conditions. The writer reiterates that the effects of the food shortage are severe, espe- cially among children. who every where show signs of underfeeding. It is apaprent that tuberculosis is working havoc, especially among the young, while contagious dysen- tary, which was a serious courge in the summer. has not ceased with the arrival of winter. It is attrib- uted to bad food The decline in the birth rate, this observer continues, is causing great anxiety, especially in view of the loss of life in the war and the spread of disease. The shortage of coal in Berlin is another source of trouble. After enumerat- ing the difficulties the correspon- dent writes:
 Germans Long For Peace.
 Nothing but the iron grip of prussian militarism restraints the nation from making more pro- nouneed advances to it's adversaries than any which have yet been made The Germans are longing for peace but they want peace with victory They no longer abuse their enemies as in the carly days of the war Doubtless the shortage of supplies has much to do with this attitude The proudness of the flesh has given way before the discipline of fasting This accounts for very much in re- cent developments of German pol icy"
