A rather jovial person sauntered
into an Irishman's butcher shop and
smiled to himself as he thought how
he was going to have little joke at
the butchers expense.
When his turn came, he said:
Pat, can you supply me with
yard of pork"
Pat turned to his assistant without
batting an eye and said:
Give this gentleman three pigs
feet and hurry UP about it,
Doctor, I can't pay you for this
visit, so it amt no use to send me a
bill. I hope you won't take it hard"
whined patient.
Quite the contrary, my friend. If
every man who has no intention Of
paying would be as considerate as
you it would save me a lot of writing
and about $50 a year in postage"

The Soldier S Chances

That war is profligate of human life is an ak
ION old as war itself. The very principle of war
is destruction not only of material things but
also Of that priceless thing called life. And yet
while the mortality in the aggregate is large the
individual soldier has plenty of chances to emerge
unscathed or not badly wounded. The United
States government on findings of the mortality
statistics Of the allied armies has compiled the
following facts:
Twenty-Five chances Of coming home to one
chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering from
wounds to one chance of dying from them.
One chance in 500 of losing limb.

training, is freer from disease in the army than
in civil life, and has better medical care at the
front than at home

Making Good the Fourth

Practice what you preach, good works must
prove your faith, make your religion effective in
life, are all maxims that mean the same thing,
namely, actualities and realities count more than
idle boasts and vapid talk
We used to think of the Fourth Of July as
day on which orators would blow off steam, boys
explode firecrackers, and families hold picnics.
It used to be noisy day which orators made
had proved to the world that we loved liberty and
dmocratic institutions But in all these years,
sinister power was preparing to call our bluff and
to see if we really could do more than celebrate
the Fourth with lot of noise and commotion.
The last Fourth of July was our answer to the
challenge. We proved to the world that we were
more than noisemakers and boosters. That day
saw 100 ships of a tonnage approximating $780,
900 tons take the water It saw 100000 soldiers
saw France, England and Italy uniting in paying
tribute to our flag 1t saw the American people,
forgetting the lands of their nativity and uniting
in grand demonstration Of patriotic determine
ton.
Across the Atlantic, our boys were engaged
in struggle with despotism, exposing them
selves to death in order that liberty might be
safeguarded and the world made safe place for
decent people. Truly there marked diff
ference between the Fourth of 1918 and of pre-
vious years. America had found itself and it
did not require firecrackers and spellbinders to
convince US of the reality.

Saluting the Colors

Richmond is no worse than other communi-
ties in neglecting to salute the flag when it is
carried by or when the pedestrian passes below
it.
One of the amenities that all of us might cul-
tivate with profit to ourselves and benefit to the
national morale is proper respect for the ma
tional colors.
Our flag is not mere piece of red, white and
blue bunting, but the symbol of mighty prin-
ciple which translated into practice guarantees
to all of us life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness, and is the assurance to all the oppressed
nations of the world that American manhood and
money is pledged to their redemption.
Our national colors have never gone forward
on mission of conquest exploitation and terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The soldiers that have
consecrated their lives to the defense of that
flag have never fought for despotism or usurpa-
ton.
Always and everywhere that flag has stood
for liberty, freedom of conscience, freedom Of
speech, equality of opportunity, righteousness,
civilization, religion. No incident mars it's beauty
or sues its grandeur. 1t is spotess and imma-
culate truly, the flag of free men, and the colors
which richly deserve the respect and honor the
whole world accords it.
When that flag goes by no citizen of this re-
public ought to hesitate in barring his head or
saluting it. When we pass beneath it, our hands
ought to go up in salute of respect and honor.

NOLECAL METHOD
 FOR SURRENDER
Ebert Says No Provision in Law For Seizure of
 Fx-E -EmperOr

London, Dec. 17-(British Wireless Service)-Friedrich Ebert, Socialist premier of Germany, declared in an interview yesterday that he did not know of any legal method by which William Hohenzollern's surrender could be forced.
 T cannot think of any provision in law upon which the former emperor would have to be given up,'' he said. But that is not a question which closely concerns us. We have separat- ed ourselves from him and now desire only that guilt for the outbreak of the war should be finally fixed in order that he may be exposed, once for all"
 As to his view of the future, Ebert said: T am optimistic, but you must remember that our influence upon the course Of events is limited We can not create bread for the German peo- pie. If the nation is allowed to starvg then the inevitable will follow. That a nation can be brought to a desperate pass and burst through all restraints has been shown by the experiences of the past year. Our old system came to the ground as a result of Russian events which it, itself, provoked. It is poor consolation, however that. in falling. one drags ones enemy to the ground. To us any other solution would be preferable"

NYPRECEDENTS
 FOR PUNISHMENT

London, Dec. 7.---Responsibility for punishing the former German em- peror and other high German officials for crimes committed during the war must rest with governments and not with jurists, according to the Marquis of GTewe, former secretary of state fo1 1>the colonies. in a letter published in the Westminster Gazette. He writes:
 'The atrocities In Belgium, the ill., treatment of prisoners, and the ex- cautions of Captain Fryatt and Miss Edith Cavell are acts that can be brought home to the individual per- sons concerned, and punishment can be inflicted by tribunals When, how ever, we go beyond these persons, re- sponsibility is altered. The former German emperor and the higher Ger man politicians must be surrendered first and then punished by executive acts. For this procedure there are most ample precedents. These crim- inals can be put away where they will have no further chance of bring ing mischief on the world, or they can be executed"

HUNS' RUTHLESS
 WAYS CONDEMNED
Spanish Investigators Send Their Report of Treat
 ment of War Prisoners.

Paris, Dec. 17.-Spanish investiga- tors who have conducted an inquiry into the shooting of French prisoners of war at the German prison camp at Langensalza have forwarded their report to the French governmental authorities, according to the Petit Journal. The newspaper says the re- port declares that the attitude of the prisoners did not justify the ruthless methods of the Germans. While at Langensalza, the prisoners erected q theatre. Before leaving the prison they attempted to tear it down, and while they were thus engaged were fired upon by German sentries.
 Zurich, Dec. 17.-German soldiers at Cracow are reported to have fired upon Russian prisoners who refused to work, killing six and wourd ding seven, according to the Stuttgart Tageblatt. It is stated that the incl dent occurred since the signing of the armistice between the allies and Germany.
