The Sacred Bridge of Nikko.


Do not use the word magnificent
until you have seen Nikko," is said
to be japanese proverb, writes Has
kins. Nowadays, comparatively little
is heard of Nikko, but it's fame runs
back for centuries. About 800 years
ago double row, thirty miles in
length, of giant cryptomeria trees
was set out by royal command to
honor the main street of so unusual
a town. These trees have a circum-
ference of "a feet, and this archway
is probably the longest array of such
monstrous shade trees in the world.
One of Nikko's chief attractions
is the Sacred Bridge-sometimes cal
led the Red Bridge because it's single
arch, spanning the wildly foaming
mountain stream, is painted with
brilliant red lacquoc. With its brass
ornaments and mighty barrier-gates
at either end, it is picturesque, to
say the least, and in its bold color
ings and simple grace, the art of Old
Japan challenges the somber green's
of surrounding cryptomerias and pale
timewocn cliffs to defy its charm and
beauty.

Hoarding is Defined by court.


Early in June, 1918, having obtain
ed evidence that Roy clipping, a
farmer, of near Forest City, Iowa,
had a quantity of sugar concealed
in his barn, County Food Admins
traitor Thompson, accompanied by a
witness, visited the said barn and dis
covered under the hay a large tin
container, within which was found
a sack containing sixty pounds of
granulated sugar. Mr.. Thompson,
without any legal process, seized the
sugar and took it to his office. Mr..
clipping was notified to appear be-
fore him, as Court Food Admins
traitor, and did so, but, refused to
express any contribution for his
action. After ten days delay, which
was considered sufficient opportunity
Klipping to change his decision, Mr..
Thompson appeared before the
Federal Grand Jury at Fort Dodge,
Iowa, and recited the circumstances.
He was arranged before Judge
Klipping was indicted by the Federal
Grand jury for boarding in June 20.
Henry t. Reed in the United States
District Court at Fort Dodge on June
%. He pleaded guilty and was fined
$4,000, including costs amounting
to $500. The case was handled
under the direction of the United
States District Attorney Seth Thorn
as. The Grand Jury required the
section Of the Food Act on boarding
to be read to them and they were of
the opinion that the sixty pounds
involved constituted boarding.

DENIES AUTHORITY OF COURT.
Conscientious Director Says He is
Liable to Military Rule Only

Waterloo, Ia.-Because he Is ac-
countable to the military authorities
at Camp Dodge alone, as he asserts,
Clarence E. Jacobs, a conscientious
objector, claims the advocate court
of the service league has no right to
summon him for examination into
the reason why he has not bought
a fourth Liberty loan bond.
Judge Franklin C. Plat, head OF
the court, stated today Jacobs would
,be summoned just the same and
asked his authority for immunitJ
from bond buying.
Jacobs states he was drafted Oct.
|3, 1917, and being a conscientious
director to military service, was
given farm furlough under a pro-
vision, of the war department. He
claims to have written agreement
with the war department whereby
he is permitted to work on farm
keep $50 a month for his clothing
and incidental expenses, and con-
tribute what he earns over $40 to
the war fund of the Red Cross. In
his case, Jacobs says, this amounts
to $40 a month. He claims he Is
held the same as any soldier, ac-
countable only to the authorities at
Camp Dodge.

Kaiser on Shortening of the War.

haISef on SnOrJenlng OF the war.
When Kaiser Wilhelm says he has
left no stone unturned to shorten
the war, he is guilty of an unwonted
unprecedented, lapse into truth Not
the whole truth to be sure but
enough of it to be dangerous talk for
a Hohenzollern.
To shorten the war, he sprung sud-
denly at the throat of an unsuspect-
ing, unprepared world.
To shorten the war, he perjured
himself and his empire by storming
thru Belgium, whose neutrality he
was sworn to respect and defend.
To shorten the war, he ordered his
soldiers to rape and burn and butcher
their way to the gates of Paris, that
the enemy might be struck dumb
with horror.
To shorten the war, he carried his
gospel of frightfulness to sea and
sunk without warning everything he
could reach, from liners to fishing
boats.
To shorten the war, he has main
tanned a spy organization in every
land for twenty years, and turned
every German ambassador, minister
and consul into an actual or potential
felon.
But he has overlooked one thing
which would abridge the conflict very
materially His nearest prototype in
history, Judas by name, had the
grace to repent of his immortal trea-
son and go out and hang himself.
The kaiser can shorten the war very
materially by following this example
especially if he attaches the crown
prince to the other end of the rope.

The Souls of Corporations.

There is an old axiom of English
law that corporations have souls.
The manner in which thousands OF
corporations have given their services
and theic means to the Liberty loan,
to the Red Cross, and to the Y. M.
C. A., and to other national efforts
during this war seems to disprove the
truth of the saying.
The Congress of the United States
seems to have adopted the view that
corporation may have soul, since
it has authorized national banks to
contribute to the American Red Cross
out of any net profits available under
the law for the declaration of divi-
dends. The law further provides
that funds so contributed shall be
used by the Red Cross in furnishing
voluntary aid to the sick and wound
ed Of the combatent armies, tho
voluntary relief of the Army and
Navy of the United States, and the
relief of the suffering caused by the
war to the people of the United
States and their allied nations.

THE BRAVE BOYS OF T.. s. A.
(By Harry C. Evans.)


There is not one of our woun led
who was not longing for the time
when he would return to the front.
lizard luck was the expression used
when referring to some fellow who
must be sent home. They took me 20
corner where a Baltimore lad lay
who had lost leg. He was rapidly
recovering and expects to be sent
home in a few weeks.
Hard luck that you have to go
home, old man. said one of the
chaps who is to return to the front
in a few days.
YES" responded the invalid, sit is
hard luck to have to go home. !
wanted to stay till the finish. Yet,
he continued, philosophically, "I'm
in luck after ALL l offered my life,
and they only got one leg!"
Miraculous is the spirit of these
boys of ours! / have followed them
from the quiet of their peaceful
homes into the environments and
across the sea. have watched their
demeanor as they first set foot on
foreign soil, gone with. them into
the camp in the fields of France and
on the battle line. It's far cry
from the orange groves of Florida or
the cornfields of Iowa to the bloody
trenches of France. It's long, long
way from the colleges of America to
the Greater University of the War
Zone. This wonderful change of en-
viroment Is so short that time has
wrought a startling change in the
youth of America. From carless, in
different boys they have suddenly
been transformed into full-statured
men upon whose shoulders rest the
future of civilization. Darwin ran
through thousands of years of the
history of mammals and men and
geology before he wrote 'The Evo-
luton of Man." Some modern OAR
win will write of more miraculous
evolution of man that has occurred
within the past twelve months.
Just let our people at home ac-
quire the nerve, the grit-and to
use a somewhat vulgar but popular
expression over here, the guts-pos-
sessed by the French, and victory is
assured.
honestly believe that speedy vic
tory depends more on the nerve, the
morale of the people at home In the
United States than on anything else.
The British and French will hold
against the coming of our forces in
sufficient numbers to finish the job
There's no question about the cour-
age, the morale of our own boys.
They're the fittest lot Of men who
ever went into battle and as eager
for the fray as schoolboy for a
Saturday afternoon or a Fourth of
July. AS sure as there is God in
heaven the allies over here will
stand as fast as the everlasting hills
of France-what will you folks at
home do?
