WORK OF ARMY
RAG PICKERS
DANGEROUS
By Henry Wood

With the French armies, May
7-Cleaning up battlefelds has
now become one Of the highly
organized and perfected auxiliary
services Of the French army.
The amount Of material saved
in this way for the future use
Of the army amounts to hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars month.
It is one Of the most effective
efficiencies' that the present
war has produced.
Paradoxical as it may seem
there is nothing that produces q
more painful impression on the
occasional person who is allowed
to wander over a battlefield JUS
after an attack than the grea
quantities Of highly perfected wa
material that lie scattered abou

days of the war.
Now nothing goes to waste on
he battlefield. With the great
.ost and difficulty Of manufacture
mo war material. with the steady
decrease in the world S supply OF
material from these things are
made. France at least, sees to II
that nothing falls short OF serv-
inc the purpose for which It :
made.
Hardly have the troops passcE
forward in an attack than a Sc

ritorials follows it onto the battle
field and begins the cleaning VI
process. Sometimes their compa

GERMANY AS A NEleAsoR.

There isn't country upon earth today who would care to have Ger many for neishhor.
 For the past four years she has buhied every small nation adjacent to her that she has not robbed and ravished.
 She has treated Holland and Dem mark and Sweden as if she was their master: she has committed all sorts of thefts and atrocities in Belgium, northern France. Russia. Poland, Ul5- rania and Rumania she has forced millions of cattle from these nations. seized their stores and their crops. and their industries, and imposed fines amounting to five billion dollars, at least and as the result of her heart less and worthless policy it is esti- mated that as many people have died of starvation or malnutrilion in these countries as have fallen upon all the fields of conflict. a number believed to exceed ten millions.
 Christian duty requires Germany to love her neighbor as herself: but the Kaiser directs affairs very much like the man who sold the Hons skin while the beast lived. and was killed while hunting him.

 The experiences of our airnaen are full of this sort of thing. One of them was recently attacked by three enemies. who were in such a hurry to eat him up that two of them came into collision.

We attacked, our patrol lead 1 CT picking out the third enemy ma chine which went down vertically, to crash helpleSsly below. Our man then attacked the second in the line and shot that down and in falling the enemy hit the German leader, and both went to earth together in one jurnbled mass. The other three. erle- mics got away, but just then a Ger man twc-seater came along. and again our patrol leader attacked and sent it down.

 he chased them for three miles fruit

THE kAIsER,s TONGUE.

The Kaiser of Germany has a tongue he is net the master of. He says things the intellectual masters of Germany find it difficult to defend or explain away.
 When Prince Won Bulow was chan celleF he succeeded in getting promise from the Kaiser that he would hold hts peaee--that he would speak through his ministers, and not talk to others for publication, but he broke his promise
 His conceit that he is Gods per- sonal representative on earth-a part ner with him in power. is natural to the family. His great grandfather, George Third of England. talked of himself and God OF God and himself to the disgust of his prime ministers, Pitt and Fox
 Nobody loves money or power more than the Kaiser. and his tauntfng of Americans as worshippers of the al- mighty dollar. comes from one of the greatest profteefs of the Ereseat age. He profits by the war as well as by all great German industries and not q few foreign investments. The Kaiser resembles the pct whieh taunted the kettle with being black.

THE INDICATIONS

The political indications from all parts of the country are that men who have played against the welfare of the country in congress are doomed
 The people of America are in no mood to fool with senators or repre- sentatives who in times like these have made no record, or poor rec crd.
 Missouri, for instance, in the Fifth district gave Champ Clark a great en- dersement as "a good and faithful servant" while in the same district Congressman Borland was knocked out because he, had nnisrepresented the people.
 Boriand is charged with having done more than any other ten men to ruin Washington by creating dissa tisfae- ton among the government workers
 The country is awake to the fac; that patriots not stumbling blocks are needed in Washington. and the demagogues of whatever stripe ir public life have got to go.
 The only American politicians who are popular now are those who hit right and hit hard.
