Why War Must Go On
Charlton Bates strayer, in Leslie's.

Charlton Bates Strayer, in Leslie's
 Because the war involves the corner stone on which society rests we cannot permit it to be ended by compromise peace. We have been slow to see tha the war is life and death struggle be- tween two theories of the state One theory subordinates the individual abso- lutely to the will of the state; the other holds that the state rests upon the con- sent of the governed. The two theories are mutually exclusive. They cannot be harmonized. Other wars have ended as stalemates, and the world has been none the worse. Other wars have concluded in a compromise around a table, and the cause of civilization has not been set back. But when an issue fundamental to the existence of organized society is raised there can be no peace of compro- mise. All questions of territory and in demnities are secondary to this funda- mental issue. The future of democratic government and the freedom of the in dividual are bound up with the destruc- ton of Prussia's brutal theory of the state. You cannot serve God and man. mon," said the Man of Galilee. "The nation cannot exist half-slave, half-free.
 said the Great Emancipator. "The world cannot exist half-Prussian, half-demo- cratic" say all lovers of freedom today Senator Borah of Idaho has most con- vincingly depicted the conflict as a war of ideas, a clash of systems, death struggle of ideals" Upon the one hand, :" says he, fare Magma Charta, the Bill of Rights the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the principles of human liberty which they embody and preserve. Upon the other hand is that peculiar form of state organization which, in the language of the Emperor, rests alone upon the strength of the army, and whose highest creed finds expression in the words of one of it's greatest advocates that was is

Lyric Screen Telegrams will be the usual feature.
 Children of France" one of the most thrilling war playlets in vaudeville, was first produced at the Palace theatre. New York. and proved to be a real thriller. It is the work of Col gate Baker, and based on an actual incident in the great war. Two French children a brother and sister, have been arrested by the Germans on charge of being spies. The girl, when searched Is found to be carrying in her wooden shoes a map showing the position of the Boche guns. The Hun captain demands to know who dew the maps. for he wants to capture the master spy at any cost. The girl woakens and would confess, but is pre- vented by her brother, who promises to save her, but who secretly makes deal with the Hun captain to tell him all if he will spare him and shoot his sister. The Hun agrees to the plan which seems to be carried out but to his astonishment the boy re- fuses to confess, instead defies him and admits he sent his sister to death because she was weakening and about to confess In his rage the captain is determined to kill the boy, but it ap- pears that the German soldier who has been on guard, is a French spy. and he kills the German captain. He also tells the French boy that his sis ter is on her way to the French line safe. Alan Dale, critic of the New York American, declared, "It was strenuously interesting and just the kind of a sketch vaudeville audiences demand Milo, another big attraction on the bill. will offer a big surprise feature. What is Milo a man or woman? What is he and how does he co it?" are the questions when Milo is on the stage.

Have You Seen Mgr"

Mig IL the name Of n fine
young hog that belongs to Mr..
Wallace Quinn. That 10. he once
did and is yet the property Of
Of Mr.. Gumm, but he Is not In
possession Of Mig just now, but
will be. il Is earnestly hoped,
after a certain party reads the
mournful tale that follows:
One morning recently mot
Monday morning) MIR. Quinn
left his ranch home on the Bo-
nito for CarrizOzo and as he was
to bring a certain friend OF his
a nice young hog to get In read
mess for the holidays, he select
ed Mig" for the victim. and to
make assurance dOubly sure. he
put him into a heavy. strong
sack making il good and secure
(as he thouglt) with a stout
cord.
With all things in readiness
Mr.. Quinn started for Carrizozo.
his mind occupied with visions
of how the gift would please his
friend. Several times along the
road he heard Mig squlrm and
grunt under the sack. but think
ing him securely incarcerated.
he would dismiss 1t from his
mind and again lapse into dreams
of his friends happiness.
As the car started down N0gal
hill Mig got busy; he chewed the
the cord that SO firmly held the
sack and unoticed by his master.
slipped out of his prison, alight-
ed from the machine and gained
mis- liberty. When Mr.. Quinn
reached the bottom of the hill,
he turned with a look Of conf
dence to the temporary dwelling
place of Mig, but saw nothing
but an empty sack. This ends
the unfolding Of the tale and
now we come TO the supreme
question, have you seen "Nig?''
Of course somebody in that inn
mediate locality has him. and
they will certainly give him up
to the rightful owner as Mr..
Gumm will recompense the party
besides rewarding him for his
honesty. II Mig is still at large,
he can easily be identified. He
is black black as Egyptian night;
SO black that charcoal would
make a white mark on him. Mr..
Gumm awaits with patience the
return of his Mig"
