in words, tends to retard the world
democracy. When bad men combine,
the good must associate, else they
will fall, one by one, an unpitied sac
rifice in a contemplate struggle.
We Americans are involved in a
mammoth struggle, and the admins
tration is without doubt plotting the
nation in the proper and safe channel.
When these foul mouthed demagogues
assert that the nation is being placed
in control Of few politicians and
labor leaders, and make ironical ref
erences to Secretary Baker and call
American soldiers drunkards and
chicken thieves, they are still a peo-
! pie who are, as it were, but in the
gristle and not yet hardened into the
bone of manhood.
What should be done with this
class, and how to do it, is a problem
hard to solve. But the American peo-
pie should not be influenced by at
tempts to debase the nations. But
remember, though our progress may
at times seem slow,
Heaven is not reached at a single
bound,
But we build the ladder by which we
rise
From the lowly earth to the vaulted
skies,
And we mount to it's summit round
by round.
To bring the war to the desired end
and make the world safe for democ-
racy, let this be our prayer:
God give US men the time demands,
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
and willing hands;
Men whom the lust Of office does not
fill,
Men whom the spoils of office cannot
buy,
Men who possess opinions and a wiz
Men who have honor, men who will
not lie,
Men who can stand before a dema-
gOgue
And damn his treacherous batteries
without winking,
Broad minded men who live above the
fog
In public duty and in private thinking.
And remember these words:
Our land the first garden of Liberty's
tree
1t has been and shall yet be the land
Of the free.

THE PROBLEM OF THE DAY
What Should be Done With the COterie
of Politicians Who Impugn the
Administration in War Time?
By John Bush.

Ever since President Wilson de-
clared war he and his advisory board
have been confronted with and wisely
handled many perplexing and trying
situations which have been a thorn in
the side of the administration and Of
all others who are striving to bring
the war to a successful conclusion.
A great problem is now confronting
! the government, one that will, if dis
posed of successfully, require the
united action of the ablest intellects
of the nation. To uproot and destroy
the seeds of disloyalty, antagOnism
and discomfort that are being so in
dustriously planted by the wolves in
Sleeps clothing, those treacherous
/ demagogues in whom the lust of of
flee is paramount to the destiny of the
nation or the welfare of the people
and the success of civil liberty, is a
gigantic undertaking. Disposing of
this infamous class of anti-Americans
that presented by the pro-German
element.
When autocratic politicians, in and
out of Washington, are making scath-
ing attacks and sarcastically denoun-
cling the President and the admins
tration, the nation has a more
treacherous and insidious foe to COM
bat than Kaiser Bill and all his aids.
Mems thoughts are frequently
moulded by their inclinations and
their discourse and speech is ac-
cording to their learning and opinions.
When politicians or any other Ameri-
cans refer to the administration as a
political autocracy, covertly engaged
when the nation is in the stress Of
war, in undermining institutional civil
liberty, their inclination is evidently
diametrically opposite, their learning
neglected and their opinion, expressed

Sad Plight of Cars Officers in
This Country

More than 100 Russian army and
naval officers now in this country
practically find themselves in cant
WOrk-can't-fght" class. They came to
the United States in various official
capacities for the old Russian govern
ment under Gar Nicholas, but with
the fall Of his empire their official
! positions likewise perished. They
now find themselves as men without
country, their old land in turmoil,
and their funds-though many Of
them were rich in Russia-almost ex-
hausted. Many Of the men are mill
tary and naval specialists, having
been sent to this country as inspectors
and buyers of arms and munitions.
All are we'll educated, some speaking
several languages. All are said to be
anxious to return home, but getting
to Russia now is most difficult, and
few of them have money with which
to travel. Some, it is limited, may go
into Siberia, joining the American ex-
peditionary force, but this is a ques-
tion that has not been decided by the
war department.
The plight of the men, however, has
been called to the attention of of
ficials of the United States govern
ment, who are seeking to place the
men in government work, it is said.
Private concerns also are employing
the men, getting in touch with them
through the Russian embassy. Among
the army officers are found men rank
ing from lieutenants to major gener-
al, and among the navy those ranking
from ensign to commander.

The journey drew to nm end very
quickly. Romero, deserted now by It's
garrison, stirred and stared sleepily ut
the Invaders, but concerned Itself with
their presence no more than to wonder
why they laughed and talked so spirit
eddy. Plainly. these gringos were n
barbarous race OF people, what with
their rushing here and there, and with
their loud, senseless laughter. God had
wisely placed them 0eyond the Rio

The crossing was made Alalre found
herself In Texas once again, and II
seemed to her that the sun had
been so bright, the air 80 clear, the
sky so high, the world 80 smiling, as
here and now. The men who had rid
den forth to seek her were smiling,
too, and they were shaking her hands
and congratulating her. Even the Guz-
man boys, who we're shy In the pres
ence OF American ladies', were wishing
her the best OF fortune and the greatest
OF happiness.
Blaze Jones was the last to leave.
With especial emphasis upon her name,
she said: "Mlz Austin, Paloma and
me would like to have you come to our
house and stay until you feel like goin'
back to Las Pnlmas."
When Alaire declined with molstened
eyes, explaining that she could not well
accept his invitation, he slgnliied his
understanding.
"We're goin' to see n lot OF you, Just

feel MS II you sort of belonged to us.
There's a lot Of good people In this

Seals are very plentiful among the
orkneys, and are sometimes caught
when asleep on the Hkerries. They are
attracted by musical sounds, and at
one time n considerable number were
said to make their appearance In the
bay of Hoy when the bell Of the parish
church close by was rung.
Seals are usually much on their
guard against the approach Of men,
but when unmolested frequently come
close TO boats or people ashore. An
instance OF this occurred recently on
Skraill bay, In Sandwich, where some
yawls we're at paddock fishing, a writer
In the Edinburgh ScotsInsl says.
A seal made its appearance. and

TO get a proper hold. but the fish was

which the seal quickly seized. II kept

Newfoundland's sailing Fleet.

Losses OF sailing vessels In the New
foundland trade through storms, Ger
man raiders and submarines since the
war started have been more than
made up by building within the colony
and purchases abroad, observes a cor
respondent. The Newfoundland sail
ing fleet now numbers 1875 vessels, and
II more are on the sticks, the total
Of 142 making the largest locally
owned fleet In u generation. This Is
exclusive OF boats used only In she
island trade. The fleet, made up OF
schooners ranging from 100 to 400
tons. has a capacity which will en-
able the colony to take to foreign mar

proudly at his nelghbors-"constitute

T. was evident, from the words OF the
others, that the Jonesvllle Guards were
indeed quite as Needless Of interna-
tional complications as was their com
mnnder. One and all were highly In

Alnlre alggested such n thing, II was
pntent that they would have ridden on
In Ferla and exacted a reckoning from
him.
Such proof OF friendship effected her
deeply, and It was not until they were
all under way back toward Romero
that she felt she had made her appre-
citation fully known. When she reflect.
ed that these men were some OF the
very nelghbors whom she had Stunned

these years, II seemed very strange
that they should feel the least concern

night grew older, however, they rode n
