Mystery still attaches to certain ex-

of the world and known to science as
"brontides." On the coast Of Belgium
these sounds seem to come from the
sea, and are called locally ''mistpostf-

similar sounds are called "Barisal

Bron.ides mostly take the form Of

conclusion that some OF the sounds

ROMILLY

The remarkable career of Sir Sam
came to a tragic end 90 years ago. He
was the first influential man in Eng
land to attempt to bring about the
abolition Of capital punishment. When
he entered public life the English
statutes punished with death nearly 500
crimes, ranging from murder and
treason down to keeping company with
sypsies. Eomilly, who was of French
descent, secured the repeal of these
codes. Ron1iliy WAS devoted to his
wife, and when she died. October 20,
1915. the philanthropist fell into a de-
iirium of grief. -Four days later his
grief had so preyed on his mind that
he killed himself.

MONDAY, JANUARY "A, 1918.
Is THIS A RETREAT?

We wonder whether derision
is not lying in wait for the presi-
dents pet phrase making the
world safe for democracy Has
il served its little day to be con-
signed to wide open grave?
Certainly, it was good while it
lasted for it made the text of
many patriotic speech and it is
conceivable that it might have
lasted until the next congression-
al campaign, if the president had
not abandoned it when he back
pedaled from his position of en-
tering into no peace negotiations
until the Germans dropped the
Hohenzollern dynasty.
We had been led to believe that
the world could not be made safe
for democracy without the utter
removal Of the power that
brought on this war. Now that
the president has withdrawn
from his attitude and has indicat-
ed that peace may be had with the
German government as it now
stands, on program that he has
outlined, the only inference is
that the world may not be made
safe for democracy save by the
introduction of an unseen force.
This country entered the war
on the platform of fighting it
through to clean victory.
Whether it would be better TO do
that or to arrange peace on a
basis, leaving the way open for
another war, has evidently be-
come subject for debate with
the president. Perhaps our allies
have decided that the job in its
original form would be too long
and too wearing, while a peace in
which each side would claim vic
tory would satisfy everybody. AT
any nate that glittering phrase
making the world safe for de-
mOcracy," has lost its flavor.

Allies Purchases Here

Most of the money advanced by the
engaged in war with Germany is spent
in this country for the products of our
farms, mines and factories
Under the arrangement made by the
secretary of the treasury and APP
proved by the president, these allied
governments communicate their re-
quircmcuts for materials and supplies
to United states commission through
their OWN designated purchasing
agents in this country and the COM
mission then renders its best cffirts to
obtain advantageous terms which are
submitted TO the purchasing agents.
BY these means competitive bidding
against the other allies and against
the United States is avoided and the
same terms and the same treatment
our own government receives is ac
corded TO our allies.
1t is expressly stipulated that no OBJ
legation or liability upon the United
States shall be created by this ar
ply lending its assistance to our allies
| in the spending here of the money We
| loaned them. The protection thus
granted them is deserved, for they are
doing the work which. if they do no
do. must be done by America at th'
expense of American lives and Amer
! lean money. 49,

.... boarding
Sophie Irene Loeb De-
scribes What 1t Is.

Before the war the word boarding
had little or no significance. There
was such Il plentiful supply of every
thing that the occasional hoarder did
not make himself felt
Very little was heard of boarding.
But now it is another matter. Hoard
ing has n different meaning.
Many people are boarding and do
not know 1t. They forget that war
makes common needs, common de-
mands
The main effort to eliminate hoard
ing Is to take the product from where
II is plentiful to where it Is needed.
One of the first acts of the mayor
elect Is to take charge of the coal
question. While there is not much
coal i'll the city, there are those who
have more than they need for I'M
mediate use.
His task Is directed to seeing that
those who have nothing are supplied
from the storehouse of those who have
plenty. To equalize it is the main
point at issue.
In this way the attempt Is made
to alleviate suffering wherever it is
possible.
1t used to be that when a person
| made provision for long time in the
future it was not deemed TO be hoard
| ing. To-day that very future for which
he has prepared may find a critical
| community condition.
| Therefore, laws recently made in
| the federal government and the state
haN lnn a tod II. 1Dft nj

In New York state boarding is de
! fined as follows:
| "Neccssaries held, contracted for OF
| arransed for by any person in a guam
! tity in excess of his reasonable re-
! quircGpentS for use or consumption by
himself ana dependents for a reason

But what is the real meaning OF

THE ROLSHEVlKI TRICKED.

The fool Bolshcyiki are plainly
running their heads into a moose.
They have been played with by
Germany until the time to show
the mailed fist. Now that these
crcdulous rcvolutionisls have
come to learn that The kais-
or is to dictate terms of
peace and that their views are
|of. no Importance. they talk, fight,
1t is much like the settlement Of
a dispute when one man has
thrown away his gun and the 9TH
CT is armed. A show of resistance
on the part Of the Bolsheviki
would be grotesquc. The Russian
army has been disorganized. The
military leaders have been eXiled
or thrown into prison. The ship
mcnt of munitions, and aid from
the allies have ceased and there is
nothing left for the Bolshcviki but
to take all that is coming to them.
NO sympathy should be wasted on
these foreign !. w. w. who call
themselves the Russian people.
They will accomplish nothing in
any event and have played into
the hands Of the Germans
through their treacherous lead
ers. They will be treated with all
the arrogance that the junkcrs
can summon. For The most part
they are poor, ignorant child-likc
creatures. As for the leaders,
Trotzky and Lenlne, we would
| like to see the trouble with Ger
many continue TO the point where
these men would be handled as
the Bclglums have been.

4 GOOD WORK.

We sometimes doubt whether
the native Montanan realizes his
advantages over those Of the man
back cast. There, one bangs his
head in vain against the stone
walls Of tradition. He also
spends much Of his time trying
to undo the errors of past Scner-
atons.
The big work ahead i'm this
state is constructive. In line with
that is the plan for the equipment
of a cooperative cottage for girl
students in our university. It's
completion will be a fine piece
of community work. The inter
est is enhanced because the cot
tagc will be a memorial to Elolsc
Knowles, beloved by all who
knew her.
The war is daily teaching us a
new trilogy, economy, efficiency,
unity, and The greatest OF these
is unity. We must conserve and
develop our spiritual and material
resources to the uttcrmost, that
our descendants, upon broader,
stronger foundation, may became
a powerful nation and an inter
national force. One way TO
speed that day is to make it pos
siblc for every Montana girl and
boy to get the education and spc-
|cial training that will equip for
work.
