WHAT is REQUIRED
IN A NILE FRONT

Just what is meant when we speak
OF "a mile 'front.'? Few of us have
any idea Of the enormous labor and
material that go to its making. For
mile Of front among the swamps OF
Flanders, for example, with its first
and second lines Of trenches, its COM
munications and breastworks, the
necessary barbed wire is 800 miles
in length-long enough to reach from
London to Perth and back-and
weighs 110 tons.
The sandbags required for its pro-
lection number 6,250,000. So many
are they that placed end to end they
would stretch across Europe from
North Cape in Norway to Cape Mata-
pan, the southernmost point in
Greece, and their weight is more than
a thousand tons.
To fill these millions of sandbags
and place them in position would
keep 500 Industrious men hard at
work for twelve months, for the aver
age man cannot fill and place more
than 25 sandbags in one night.
In addition to these thousands Of
miles of wire and sandbags, $4,000
six-foot standards are required, 49,
600 small pickets, $4,000 running
feet of corrugated iron, more than
/ 100000 feet of timber, and vast
quantities Of riveting material Of
various kinds.

Warden Murphy will soon be here
to supervise the erection of the lime
machinery and the aerial tram which
is now being loaded on the cars at
Leland. The convicts are doing the
work, and as soon as they arrive will
be quartered at the old Gold Hill ho-
tel, which has been secured by the
lime board, pending the erection of
temporary quarters at the quarry,
which has been delayed on account
of the recent heavy rains that have
made the roads almost impossible to
haul the lumber from the local mills.

Let In the Light

THE German armies have slain their thou
sands, the German propaganda has slain its
tens OF thousands. President Wilson has pointed
out most emphatcally that the enemy that men
aces us Is a power of combined intrigue and
force
The President has said that the only possible
antidote to the German poison is the truth, and
that 1T cannot be uttered too plainly too often
This is correct, writes William English Wang
but the situation can be brought out still more
strongly by stating the case in positive instead
OF negative manner
Z We have to enlighten public opinion each
and every phase of the and the international
situation from beginning to end, including es-
pecially the nature of German Kultur, of the Ger
man Government, and above all the psychology OF
The German people in supporting their Govern
incnt and the war.
This great campaign will have to have its thou
sands of ramihcations; and, as explained demo-
cratic government can do comparatively little, il
anything, in directing it-and the campaign will
have to last at least as long as the war.
1t is a question Of printing all the facts, and
printing them in vital manner, rather than any
vague abstract appeal to love OF country hatred
or fear OF the enemy. We are living in a news
paper age, which means the public opinion is be-
ing formed on the basis Of facts vitality presented
The first part of our task is to prevent the fur
ther spread of such German propaganda as is still
going on To do this we must tear away the cloak
of loyalty under which it now hides trace it to its
source, isolate it and brand its infamy. But this
is only an emergency measure. For many years,
and especially since the beginning of the war, the
Germans have been spreading their poison among
the people. We must proceed systematically and
stirelessly to root out these poisons, and must
recognize from the outset that it is a long and
arduous task
The first step in the campaign of truth against
Germany is clear We cannot invade Germany
psychologicaly at present even with the aid OF
aeroplanes, but we cannot afford to delay carry
ing our message of light into other countries
which have recently been subjected to the poison
gases of the Kaiser's propaganda
We have plenty of time to get rid Of the Ger
man poison in Atnerica-if we begin at once and
do not cease our efforts The time has not yet
arrived when we can even begin counter cam
paign in Germany. But We cannot delay a single
hour every possible measure to counteract Ger.
man influence in Russia, Italy and other coun-
tries novc mortal danger from the deadly effects
of the mental poisons and moral disease-germs
spread by the Kaiser.

WILL USE SWEDISH SHIPS
IN SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

preliminary agreement has been
reached between the United States and
Sweden, according to official despatch
from London on January 2S, providing
for the charter of Swedish ships to the
United States to be used principally in
the South American trade.
Some of the ships of the Swedish
fleet now in American waters will be
allowed to sail with their cGrgoes while
others, 1t is understood, will be unload
ed and put in the service Of the United
States. Negotiations are proceeding in
a satisfactory manner and final
agreement is looked for shortly.
1t has been decided to grant Sweden
the privilege of purchasing and trans
porting oilcake, phosphates, kerosene
oil and certain other commodities, but
the chief point in discussion, the ship
ment of cereals and other fOOdstuffs,
has been definitely settled.

IN CHINA
QUIET, SAYS VISITOR

Save for the usual troubles on the
froatier and some recent fighting in
the north at Hardin, China just now is
quiet, said DR.. A. p. Peck, who for
fthnty-seveh years has been d resident
tof China and was here ON his way TO
the United tSates for an indefinite
stay. $780,.
"Internal trouble in China,", said
DR.. Peck, care not as bad as they have
been reported" He declared that the
Chinese government is doing little, for
the allied cause and that apparently
no active effort is being made to enter
the war. He secuted the idea that
Chinese troops are now IN the firing
lines in France.
"They are doing nothing" he stat.
ed. "The Manchus in the north are
bitter against the Japanese and would
do nothing for them
Doctor Peck told of work being done
by American residentsf of Tientsin in
aid Of the Red Cross. He said an effort
was started in the city to organize o
training camp, but the scheme was
abandoned.

TEST TOO SEVERE !

The young fellow just in his twenties
gave a talk which aroused the men to
a feeling Of enthusiasm and an under,

demanding such rigid attention to
training. The young sergeant told them
graphically of what they would be
called upon to do in Europe and how
they would go over the top, use their
bayOnets and handle themselves, judg,
ing by his own experiences.

Worth the Price

3THE war has brought about the most compre-
= hensive try-out of practical state-socialism
the world has ever known. Everything the most
rabid political reformer has dreamed of to
make the individual completely subservient to the
state has been adopted in one country another
but, according to the London Economist, there is
no class, workers or employers, who want to see
the experiment continue minute longer than is
necessary to win the war.
The laboring classes want to end put to
government Supervision less soulfully than
.heir capitalistic employers The latter cheerfully
acquesce in the most stringent regulation of their
businesses, knowing that when the struggle ends
the whole British people will go back to individ-
ualism with a breath of relief

question once and for ALL it is almost worth the
