Forces Now Six Times as Large.

There were 1,42S,650 enlisted
men and 1886 officers in the
United States Army at the opening
of 1918, more than one and half
times as large as any force ever
mobilized by this Nation, according
to a statement by Secretary of War
Baker.
During the war with Spain the
Army of the United States at its
maximum strength aggregated 272,-
900 men and officers. The Army in
the field and in training now is
practically six times as great as the
maximum number under arms in
the Spanish-American War.
About $4,000 officers were COM
missioned from civil life in the two
series of training camps, nearly
eight times as many as the number
of officers in the Regular Army

4 Worn Out Word.

About 25 or 80 years ago hell
began to go out of fashion and since
then a movement has been on foot
to abolish it altogether. Nine Of
ten men will say openly, if not
loudly, that they no longer believe in
it and they ridicule the notion of the
existence of a lake Of fire and brlm-
stone. 1t is the exceptional preacher
nowadays who allows the word to
escape his lips when he is in the
pulpit. The Rev. Mr.. Sunday (no
offense intended by referring to him
as The Rev. Mr.") is the exception
al preacher.
Despite the degeneration of the
idea of hell, despite the popular con-
tempt for it, despite that there are
few so timorous as to do 1t obel-
sance, the word wakes in usage.
Colonel Watterson finds it indispen-
sable. It is in nearly everybody's
vocabulary. The little fellows about
the streets with mouths out of pro-
portion to their "belfries' give it
fist place in their chatter and even
some of the little sisters tremulous-
ly lisp it. All sorts and conditions
of diminutive poets, or persons
struggling under the delusion that
they are poets, drag it into their
limping lines. Men, women, lads
and lasses proclaiming their enlight-
ened superiority to the Ignorant
superstition" of their grandmothers
necessarily inject the word into their
conversation and make it the COM
monest of nouns. Pretending to
hold the thing itself an absurdity,
they make the term the dominant
seasoning of all their talk, not know
ing that they have so diluted it by
abuse that it has long since lost its
hot flavor and become no more than
fiat vulgarity.
For the sake of variety, for the
sake of force, for the sake of zest,
why don't they say: ITO jail with
the Kaiser!"? Or, Zero with the
Hohenzollerns! Can not the free
Americans and democrats sprinkle
our billingsgate with little origin
ality? Why should we be stupid
when we try to be tough? This
generation has come to be about as
dull in it's blatherskiting as is the
grunting porkers. OF course, one
expects little better from a parti-
cular kind of political stump speak
ers, but surely private citizens, even
the very young, might think more
of themselves than to be ever silly
when their tongues wag.
"To hell with the Kaiser!'' ITO
Helena with the Kaiser!" would
mean something.-The State.

Echo of the Mooney Affair.

San Francisco sentiment regard
ing the Mooney trials appears to be
reflected in the vote of the election
held on the recall of District Attor-
ney Fickert, who has acted as pros
ecutor for the State He had been
much criticised as a persecutor." "
He now wins at the polls by 10000
plurality, and nearly 10000 major
ity, in a total of 74,192. While the
outside world has been much disturb
ed by the reports of unfairness to-
ward the defendants in the murder
trials, San Francisco people have all
along, evidently, remembered the hor-
rible bomb explosion during the pre-
paredness parade which cost so many
innocent lives. But, even so, the de-
sire to have punishment meted out
to the offenders should not blind the
people to the requirements of JUS
tice.-Springfeld Republican.

Rice Seed Good at 1000 Years Old

Rice grown directly from grains
one thousand years old will be served
the emperor of Japan, when he at
tends the autumn manoeuvers of the
japanese army in Shigaprefecture
this fall. The ancient rice grains
were found inside wooden image
Of Vasravans in a little Buddhist
temple in the village of Iwame.
Vasravans is the god of wealth
and his image had become so old as
to need repairing. In the course OF
doing this there was found inside
the image a flaxen bag containing
the seed and a paper with the follow
ing instruction in ancient Chinese
characters:
"This image has been carved for
the peace of the world. If any one
of a later generation open it, he
should put in new seed" From the
artistic style of the carving and the
traditions relating to the image, it
was estimated that the seeds were
1000 years old. They were planted
and yielded a good crop.

PREJUDICE AGAINST CARP.
Abundant and Valuable Fish Sadly
Neglected.

The most abundant and valuable
fish in United States fresh waters is
the carp, an important food resource
of nearly every State, but although
a sale of 43, 100000 pounds in year
has been reported by the fishery
census, a prejudice against it has
arisen from the peculiar flavor ac-
quired by living in muddy ponds and
streams. This muddy taste, it is de-
clared, can be removed by a little
pains in cooking. In bureau OF
fisheries circular describing various
ways of cooking, H. F. Taylor recalls
that in 1902 a gathering 224 men OF
the North American Fish and Game
Protective Association and the fishery
departments of three provinces OF
Canada, were purposely deceived by
being fed carp as red snapper, and
the fish had been so we'll prepared
that the deception was not discovered.
The carp is harry, very prolific, and
is easily handled and shipped. Its
PERCENTAGE of protein, or muscle
building material, makes it an excel
lent substitute for beef or mutton,
as it's deficiency in fat can be entirely
replaced by vegetables.

Terminating Himself.

An old colored man charged with
stealing chickens was arraigned in
court and was incriminating himself
when the Judge said:
"You ought to have lawyer
Where's your lawyer?'
"Ah amt got no lawyer, jedge,
said the old man.
VERY we'll, then," said his hon
or. I'LL assign a lawyer to defend
you"
"Oh, no, sub, no sub! Please
don't do dat!" the darky begged.
"Why not?' asked the judge. "1t
won't cost you anything. Why don't
you want a lawyer"
well, jedge, Ah'll tell you, sub,
said the old man, waving his tattered
old hat confidently. Hits dis way
All wan tab enjoy dem chickens
mahself. "-Brooklyn Eagle.

The Soldiers as Men.

Il tell you that the man who wears
the United States uniform does not
want to be coddled," exclaimed
Sergt. Arthur Cup Empey to an au-
dience of several hundred men and
women in this city. He hasn't left
his character at home with his civil
liam Clothes
The author of "Over the Top"
went on to describe the harm done
by the belief that a soldier is
mysteriously different from any other
man, that his whole nature is trans
formed by a temporary employment
Of supremely honorable character.
Is it likely that serious business
in which man is called upon fol-
every ounce of strength and purpose
in him, for courage, for resourceful-
ness, for discipline, for grim de-
votion against all odds-is it likely
that such business should change
men into brutes? Or make them
over except for the better?
No, likely, not; and still less like
ly is it that war, which brings out
the stuff in a man, should be able to
make an ineradicably bad man good,
any more than test with caustic
soda can make cotton into wool.
The miracle of the soldier lies in
the incessant revelation of what fine
stuff there is in the 999-New York
Sun.

INSISTENT VOICE OF PEACE
DEMANDS HEARD FOLLOWING
NEW WAR STATEMENTS.
Philip Scheidemann, German Socialist,
Pleads for Peace Before the
Spring Hostilities Start.

The voices of peace advocates have
again been raised in the central en-
pires, following quickly upon what
is largely regarded as new declara-
ton of Germany's warlike purposes
in her chancellor's speech.
A report is current that the Boil
sheviki government in Russia has
decided to continue the Brest-Litosvk
peace negotiations and another, quite
unconfirmed, that Austria is prepar-
ed to make a peace with Russia in
dependently from Germany.
The peace note in Germany was
sounded by Philip Scheidemann, the
socialist leader, who in his remarks
following Chancellor Won Hertling's
speech, pleaded for peace before the
spring came with it's renewed blood
shed.
Regarding Russia, however, Schei-
demann's speech was more than a
plea, it was warning that the mill
tary leaders of the imperial govern
ment would be "hurled from power
if they did not bring about peace with
her.
Ground for Peace.
Scheidemann insisted there was
ground for a general peace on the
basis laid down by President Wilson
on II points of which an agreement
was easily possible. He was as un-
com promising as Chancellor Won
Hertling, however, as regards Alsace
Lorraine, declaring this territory
must remain German.
Scheidemann' words comprise per-
haps the most radical utterance that
has yet come from his wing of the
party in the reichstag, the majority
of moderate socialists.
In the foreign press comment on
the speech of Won Hertling, it is
pointed out that there is yet mo
sign of acknowledgment on the part
of the German government of any
responsibility to parliament and that
to all appearances, the military par
ty is still in full control and deter
mined to maintain it's grip upon the
situation.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-01-31

There is consolation in the fact
that if Russia wont do any more
fighting, there will be litrle oppor-
tunity for Germany to withdraw hel
armies from the Russian frontier
While Russia will doubtless never
again be a factor in the war, they are
not ready to lay down all their rights
in answer to Germanys so-calleo
peace proposals.
y X Y
That Austria is weary of the wal
seems to be an assured fact. She is sc
closely tied to Germany, however
that it is possible the influence OF
Berlin may prevent the impending
crisis in Austria-Hungary. The Aus
trians are sick of war; they are worn
out, and, if left to themselves, they
would be ready tomorrow to con
clude almost any kind of peace tina
would be acceptable to the allies
But Germany has decreed that the
fighting must go on. The vassals
of Germany must, and probably will
continue to do her bidding.

Some idea of what America is DO
ing in the war may be CLEANED from
the fact that the army is now sl>
times as large as was the maximum
number of men under arms during
the Spanish-American war. Under
arms today there 1,42S,650 men ano
'11O,S65 officers in the American ar
my. During the Spanish-Amerlcar
war the greatest number of men ano
officers in the army was $4,000. The
selective draft will soon carry the
number to an excess of 100000
It has not been, we believe, more
than a year or so ago when we read
in one of the great national maga'
zines an article by a so-called mill
tary expert, in which the writer salo
it would take three years to manu-
facture sufficient supplies and equip
ment to outfit an army of one mil
lion men.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-01-31

the actual marketable price. And
then reduce the levy. There may be
arguments against this, but we are
frank to say we cannot see
them At present property is re-
turned supposedly at about sixty per.
cent, when, as matter of fact it is
any kind of a per cent, ranging,
doubtless from five per cent. up. Let
everybody return their property at
the real value, 100 per cent, and
the tax levy could be reduced accord
ingly. If a man has tract of land
worth $3.50 per acre, we see no rea-
son why he should not pay taxes on
$3.50 per acre; or if he has a house
and lot which cost $4,000, what ar
gument is there against him paying
taxes on $4,000? AS the tax asses
sors should be well informed as to
current property values, it should not
be a great deal of trouble to ascer-
tain if ones tax returns are accurate.
This, of course, would mean an up
heaval in the tax system, but it ap-
pears that an upheavaI of some sort
is imminent anyway.

Conscience Clear

For the first three years of their
married life the wife's mother had
lived with the young couple. Then
one morning, without even stopping
to pack, hubby fled.
The young wife rushed upstairs
and told the news to her mother. 81
suppose some nasty low down woman
