Baby Contest.

Attendance at the baby contest on Thursday afternoon was very small, compared with last Thursday. as only twelve babies were present. probably because of the rainy weather. Just about the time that the contest was to start. o'clock. there was good deal of rain. with some thunder and lightning, which caused many moth- CTS to keep their children at home,
 Of the F at the contest Thursday, seven had never been to it before, so had it been good day the attendance would probably have been above last weeks record of 45. The Italian mothers are. attending the meetings in increased numbers. due to the re- cent talk by Dr. Robbins of Hartford in that language. The officials are trying to secure Polish doctor and would like to get into communication with one to arrange meeting with mothers of that nationality.

Chicago-Refusal of packers to ar
bitrate the eight-hour law, the dis
charge of 20 union men from Libby,
Mcneil &Libby, and the resignation
of John E. Williams as arbitrator,
were given Sunday by the Chicago
Federation Of Labor as the reasons

Washington-No complaints have
been received by the war department
from any source as to shortage of
food or clothing among General Per-
shing's forces in France, Secretary
Baker declares. If there were such
shortages, General Pershing would
report them the secretary said. Some
clothing supplies have been bought in

facturer announces that he has solved
the fuel shortage by sitting his ashes. |
On every ton of reclaimed cinders he
pours one gallon of kerosene and in
this way obtains ton of efficient
fuel. The sitting process costs him
only 81 ton and the kerosene II
cents gallon, wholesale. In other
words, he is getting good fuel at the
rate of Sill ton. The plan has
been so satisfactory that he intends
to make it permanent, even after the
coal shortage is ended.
Cincinnati-A note of optimism on
the condition of the country as a
whole was sounded by Miss Jane Ad-
dams of Chicago in an address before
the Woman's City Club. The noted
social worker declared that in her
opinion there is nothing to be panicky
about, although some hardships must
be anticipated and as far as possible
prevented. She declared that the
closing down order to conserve fuel
will cause only few to suffer. The
low salaried, she said, probably
would be affected most and woe unto
the grocer who refused to grant cred
it to the man who is out of work for
five days.

THE SILENT SENTINEL

For the past two years on Deco
ration day. when the local G. A. r.
committees have gone to the ceme-
tery to remove the year-old flags
from their comrades last resting
place they have found the flags hal
been removed from several Of the
mounds and put on other graves,
sometimes on the graves of little
children.
Doubtless this act Of dissertation
is done by boys "for fun" and 1t is
hoped that in the future there will
be no more reason for complaints OF
this kind. Very sacred is the flag
and the silent sleepers beneath to
the heart of the comrade as he low
ingly places this sacred emblem OF
liberty above his last resting place
and let no other hand than his re-
move 1t.

nova bigger force than Napoleon

is increasing at n rate which but a

more than half a million" is the
vague Official statement OF the num-
ber Of fighting men already sent
over. II must be a good deal more,
by this time. A congressman an
nounced on the floor OF the house
the other day that 10000 soldiers
were transported to Europe during
the first ten days OF May. II is re-
ported on good authority that the
total for this month will reach 20O.-
900. II is matter of common know
ledge that we now have more than
1000. 900 men under arms. and that
at least 1000. 900 are sufficiently
trained for foreign service.
II is expected that the 100000
men sent in May will be followed by
ESQ, 900 in June. A Washington dis
patch suggests that at that rate
there will be abount 2,000,0 900 In
France by Christmas. All OF them.

sonal equipment Their artillery
needs are being supplied largely by
purchases from France and England
Nothing will be lacking by the time
they go into action.
Thus we already have on the bat
tie front more than German mill
tary authorities figured we should
ever be able to send. Obviously, by
next spring America will be facing
the Germans in sufficient strength to
make war on the scale demanded in
this conflict of nations, and to beat
the kaiser at his own game.

THE MENACE OF THE BEAST

Professor Thomas, head of the de-
partment of Germanic languages in

has been an admirer Of Germany
But the revelations OF this war have
made him see a great light.
1T is no time now" he says, "for
us who are professors of German
who have lived in Germany. who
have loved many things in German
life, and who sincerely wish well ia
the German people-it is no time for
US to sentimentalize in an elegiaC
strain and urge that the Germans
are fond Of flowers and Christmas
trees and folk songs. They have civ
en- themselves over to the beast, and
we have got to fight the beast until
he is no longer dangerous.
"Prussianism is now unmasked; II
stands for conquest, domination and
swag. 1t matters not that German
statesmen now and then take the
trouble to deny that this is So Ger.
many is not ruled by statesmen, bui
by soldiers. We cannot trust a
single word its statesmen say, but
we can trust what its soldiers do
And 1t has become as plain as a pike.
staff that there will be no good life
possible on this planet for those who
love liberty, justice and fair play
until the menace of the beast is done
away with"
That is pretty clear statement
OF the reason why we have got tc
kill Germans, much as We dislike tn,
task. Those Germans have not only
"given themselves over to the beast.
