On a question which involved
housing in the District Of Columbia,
a fellow feeling made Senator Thorn
as wondrous kind. He knew Of no
place IN the country where housing
is as badly needed as in Washing
ton. His own landlord had refused
peremptorily to renew his lease. The
house might be cut up into rooms
and rented at the usual profiteering
rates, while Though he did not say
SOY the Thomas family may be re-
dueed to the same level as the ur-
housed worlmen who have been
kept waiting so long for the passage
Of the bill. Mr.. Thomas gained his
point, which was the adoption. Of an
amendment by Mr.. Jones, prevent
ing discrimination against the Dis
trict Of Columbia. Out Of the total
appropriation of S60,0OO,000 carried
by the bill, $4,000, 900 may be used
for housing in the District Of Column
bia.

Newspaper publishers from New
York and the South appeared before
the Senate Postoffice Committee yes
terday, reopening the fight on the
zone postal rate. So far they seem
to be relying on protests against
gross injustice which It
seems that Congress wished to see
them writhe awhile for the sake Of
promoting their education in running
the country.

Senator overman gave notice yes
terday that he would call up the con-
ference report on the so-called "es-
pionage bill" today. 1t is a bill based
on the general theory that II you
pass an office-holder's silk hat stuck
on a pole to scare crows, or "for
other purposes" and do not hurrah
for democracy, you are q German spy.

Yesterday Senator Poinde1ter In
troduced a bill to speed up the War
Department in getting a million and
a half men into camp. Senator Reed
introduced a resolution calling for
100000. Senator Smith. Of Atlanta,
closed with a resolution for 5000. 900.
All these belong to the aftermath Of
the compulsory passage Of the Over
man bill. As the now recognized and
triumphant Administration leader.
Senator Overman seemed>to be COM
bining serene satisfaction with his
usual good nature.

fessional subsidized philanthropists
as has been given during the last
twenty years from funds and endow-
ments representing educational rake
offs from the systematic plumber OF
the American people. They are COM
pulsory-as compulsory as anything
In the "black code" Of any slave State
In 1850. Perhaps they should pass
unamended, without objection and
without debate, to remain undis-
cussed and undisputed until our
work is done in Europe and we are
beginning at home to make America
safe from plutocracy and. peonage.
There will be work in that line for
Americans. who, though they may
not dispute the superiority Of any
compulsory superman, or any Bour-
bon blockhead Of the present, may
know finally how to make good for
traditions which include Valley
Forge and Kings Mountain, New Or
leans, Chickamauga and Gettysburg.
The housing bill was the regular
order in the Senate. It is being
managed by Mr.. Swanson, Of Vir-
GINA, whom no one viii accuse Of
being a fanatical fried Of labor,
organized or unorganized. But in
trying to speed up" to get sleeping
places for Government workmen, he
has been impeded at every point by
the extreme plutocratic Sabotists
of the Senate. There are only two
or three Of them, but when the
sweatyt smell Of an uncapitalized
human being who actually works,
comes between the wind and their
nobility, they are ready to stop the
whole machinery Of government
until they get the odor out Of their
nostrils. The bill thus DISTRACTED,
has been postponed and repostponed,
but printed with its amendments, it
will probably pass today. One Of
the amendments strikes the Secre-
tary Of Labor out Of bill.

announcing the passage Of the Over
man bill, which gives the President
power to coordinate everything he
likes in any and every department
in any way he pleases. The House
is going to pass that bill. 1t knows
it. II is not only an, Administer

bill Of the kind both House and SEN
ate know they 'have to" pass.

to them either. for Pete is Pete seven
days every week and friend of every

under date of Nov. 3rd something like
this to the Meloy family First of
al | must congratulate people back in
the states for the good work you are
doing in Liberty Bonds, w. S. S. and
many other ways. You are helping
us to win the war, and are sure Civ
ing the Kaiser black eye. Accord
ing to to-days papers we will soon
come marching home" In speaking
of George Denk, being over there. he
says in speaking of Hun strafing; Il
hope he gets the limit every day.
There hasn't been any closed season
on Huns over here for some time, and
these birds, according to reports, are
very plentiful--in fact the boys say
the woods are full of hunters, so there
is grave danger of killing them all off
this year. After this | expect there
will be closed season on these birds
(Huns) for long time" Anderson

gineers.

TO BRING BODIES HOME
Soldiers Who Lost Their
Lives in France To BE
Inferred in United States.

Parents and other relatives OF
Wisconsin soldiers who gave up
their lives in France will be cali
ed on to make a decision as to
the permanent disposition of the
bodies of their loved ones.
tits learned definitely at the
war department. that parents or
or next of kin of the dead can in
every instance have their choice
of three alternatives:
1.-The b)dy may remain undis-
turbed where it now lies.
2-The body may be brought to the
United States and buried in one of the
national cemeteries, all expenses paid
by the government.
3-The body may be brought to the
United States and delivered to the
family for burial at the soldiers home
all expenses TO be borne by the gov
ernment.
1t is for the relatives to made a
decision between the three plans for
finally disposing of the soldiers re-
mains. Ii they desire the body to re-
main in France. where interment took
place Immediately after death, they
should follow the example of Col. and
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and advise
the war department of their wishes.
If they do not do SO they will re-
ceive in due time a notice from the
war department, stating that the
body has been started on the way
back home and that, if the parents or
next of kin desire, it will be sent to
them for burial at their local ceme-
terry under their direction or, if they
prefer, it will be sent on arrival in
the United States to the "most con-
venient national cemetery" and
buried there. Parents will not be
notified when the body is to be disin-
tered in France and there first not
zee will be when the body is on the
way.

Intolerance.

The truth is, the notion that an In
tellectual recognition Of certain dog
mas is the essential condition of saliva
ton lies at the bottom of all intoler-
ance in matters of religion. Under this
impression, men are too apt to forget
that the great end of Christianity is
love, and that charity is its GROWING
virtue; they overlook the beautiful sig
nificance of the parable of the hereto
Samaritan and the orthodox Pharisee
and thus, by suffering theirsspeculative
opinions of the next world to make
them uncharitable and cruel in this,
they are really the worse for them,
even admitting them to be true.-Whit-
tier.

George Denk Writes. e

Another Sayner soldier tells his
acquaintance of the wreck and
beauty of foreign lands, as seen dur
ing the war from near the battle
front. George is IN hospital service
and writes tC bis brother Joe as fol-
lows.
Well Joe perhaps you would like to
know something of the little town in
which we are stationed. On one side
of the town, not many steps from the
hospital, is count who lives in II big
chateau. In the center of the town S
large cathedral; these buildings are
all very old fashioned and are very in
teresting. The people likewise are
interesting their ways and dress are
queer of anything | ever saw, although
they are awfully good to the American
soldiers. One is always welcome and
they feel highly insulted if one refuses
to take a drink of wine or have lunch
with them. The French are very fond
of flowers; we have garden on one
side of he hospital which would take
the eye of any American housewife;
vegetab les of all kinds; peach, pear
and apple trees, but their principal
crop is grapes in this part of the coun-
try.
The French people are very indus
trious, every one has their job The
girls work in the field as we'll as the
men; they are busy now making wine
this time of the year.
-, IL hn
hospital one finds himself in the coun-
try where ssvin" flows like water and
"buxom cauty" madamolselles smile
very sweetly on the American sol>
diers who stop to have a chat. As
far as the eye can see, there are
waving fields of grain and well
trimmed vineyards, with now and
then patch of woods. All the old
men and women are busily engaged in
making wine and corrac.
The French crops are very good
this year, The spirit of the French is
wonderful. They have given to their
country all that life holds dear-hus-
bands and sweethearts-5ut they still
come up smiling. That's the secret OF
winning the war. Ito come up smll-
ing"
There is a sign in the Doctors office
which reads, 1.-The American smile
gets the Kaiser's goat" Judging from
the past few weeks think this state
ment is true.
We have two classes of patients
; here in the hospitals; those who have
| been to the front and those who have
| not The former tells us wild tales
about wha; the American troops were
doing to he Heinies and the great
battle that is now going on. There is
no doubt that our men have proven
their worth in cooperation with the
French troops and that our ever in
creasing man power will eventually
force the hun 10 retreat within his
own borders.
| And we do not think that he wants
to tight on German soil.
