course the plains are now all deep with
soil. But such evidences of the past as
the black volcanic glass of the 0bsldian
Cliff and the fantastic whorled lava

the least instructed eye
One particularly fascinating glimpse
of Yellowstone's tempestuous past Is
afforded in the petrifled forest of the
Specimen Ridge neighborhood where

first forest grew ON the volcanoes slope

lava, enough tihle elapsed for second

that this, in turn. was engulfed with

STILL AN AMERICAN STATE.

In the present situation it did not
make so very much difference whether
Lenroot or Davies won the Wisconsin
senatorial contest. The main thing was
| to beat Berger And the reason for that
main thing was because Berger was run
ming on platform of anti.war, which
amounted almost to anti Americanism,
Berger had stated explicitly that II elect
ed to the Senate he would do everything
within his power (small though that
might have BEEN TO get the government
to withdraw from the war and return its
armed forces to the United States That
attitude comes about as near to anti
Amcriesnsm in the present juncture as
it was possible to 90, short OF direct
espousal OF the cause Of Germany in the
war. On the other hand both Lenroot
and Davies were running on known
platform OF strict support OF the govern
ment in the prosecution of the war to
the successful end of righteous cause;
and Lenroot's activities in the House OF
Representatives had stamped him lat
terly as a man who was ready to carry
out his convictions. Virtually, therefore,
il was a contest between Americanism
and anti -Americanism and with the
forces OF Americanism somewhat divided
into the old party lines of Republican
and Democrat There was extreme dan
ger that the division of the American
forces between Lenroot and Davis might
result in triumph for the exponent Of
anti Amercanism, Berger, Socialist
and a known opponent of the govern
ment's attitude in the war. Fortunately,
however, the loyalty of a great majority
of the people of Wisconsin came to the
rescue and though Milwaukee and some
OF the other sections which are stepped
in pro- Germanism were carried by Berger
both Lenroot and Davies ran ahead of
the third candidate, with Lenroot slight
ly leading There would have been cause
for satisfaction had either Lenroot or
Davies won the election. Wisconsin is
doing something to purge itself of sus
picion.

Readers Of war literature in Barre

Louis Keene OF the Canadian army who
is TO speak at the British recruiting
rally in the opera house tonight, is the
author Of "Crumps" book that has
passed into its fifth edition, so firm a
hold has it gained on the reading pub
lie. "Crumps" is the plain tale of "a
Canadian who went, and that Canadian
is Capt Keene, His book has been in de-
mand at local bookstands ever since the
first edition was circulated. At the out
break of the war Louis keene was

story OF the overseas expedition in which

Although the statement is turned to
the advantage of the allies, it is probably
true that the German general staff is
sending large part Of its wounded men
from the present battle to hospitals in
Belgium. That move may or may not
have been made in order to keep from
the German people as much of the grue-
some details of the German slaughter as
possible. 1t is certain that the sight of
wounded German soldiers returning by
the thousands would be calculated to
arouse the anger Of the German populace,
especially in view of the fact that the
German Slaughterers were no nearer cul-
minating victory in the war. The Ger
man popuace, generally docile and tract
able might finally be aroused TO throw
the rascals out the rascals being the
blood stained murderers of their own
subjects through Unsuitable desire for
world domination. The kaiser and his
crew are constantly being menaced by an
increasing peril inside the confines of
their own empire. So it may be neces-
ssry to resort to such subterfuges as to
send the vast numbers of wounded Ger
mans to hospitals where the eyes of the
relatives might not fall upon them.

The United States has approximately
a million and a half men under arms at
the present time, to say nothing of sew
eral hundred thousand more in the naval
forces; yet that good sized army does
not count, only as it puts its feet on
European soil. Therefore, the one big
duty lying ahead of the government is
to transport those million and a half
men across the Atlantic Just as fast as
possible. The incidental duty will be to
back up those million and half men
with a similar number in training in the
camps OF the United States. Even then
we would be considerably short of the
number declared by Major General Leon
ard A. Wood to be necessary for the
successful completion of this war.
