This Little Man Just Simply
 Battles Against the ''Blues"
He Wears Red Triangle on His Sleeves and All He Does in France is to Talk the American Sol aires Out of Their Homesickness
 and He Gets Away With It.

by man they had never seen before, but one who would always find well come in their locality thereafter-jus why, they would never be able to tell you. And they didn't know, nor would it have mattered if they had, that the little man in uniform, wearing Red Triangle, was that awe inspiring dignitary known as Bishop of the Church Of England back in America.
 That's his job in France, just talk ing to the fellows. He has put in months at it. Sometimes of Sum- day, or in the evening he breaches. but mostly he just wanders around looking for cases of gloom and home sickness and talking them lack to the cheerfulness and enthusiasm which is the quality that is almost the out standing characteristic of the A. E. Y. in France.
 Curing or heading Off homesickness is an important job in an army three thousand miles from home. Officers. from the new second lieutenant up. will tell us that an army which sits on benches and bottles up gloom is not an army that will fight. They say any man is liable to an attack. but they say, too, that the number and violence of attacks is amazingly few when one considers the circumstances.
 Judge Galloway of New York said the other night, "The job of the Y. M c. A. here is not so much with the morals of the army as with the mor- ale.''
 The judge claims to know. For months he has been travelling around France from camp to camp, night af- ter might almost without rest or relief talking to the boys about France. His job has been to interest the fellows in the country where they are guests and welcome guests. He tells them about the gorious history of this country and about it's GUS toms and people and what wonders it has accomplished and how mar vellously it Pas borne its part in this war He says:
 "Athletics are not to improve the physique of the men, but to keep up the high standard of their morale. Entertainments in huts arc not sole ly to amuse. but to make more eff cient soldiers. The " is here to make the United States army a better fighting machine. and it does it by helping to keep the men contented."
 The army declares that the "Y' has bitten off large contract. Officer after officer whom you meet on the streets Of Paris will tell you how inn portant he believes the "Y' is to the. effectiveness of our militarv-and then he will point out where the "Y'' is falling down in his estimation. AL most everybody YOU meet can tell you where the "Y" or the commisssrv or the Red Cross or this. that and the other. is falling down. In this coun- try you have to earn praise. and to earn it you have to work for it.

 Bill Jones and Jack Stevens, late of the United States, but now of Somewhere in France sat on a bench. They just sat. They didn't talk they didn't smoke, they didn't cuss. You could reach out, your finger and touch the gloom that exuded from them. They weren't bunkies or town mates or inmates of any sort, but they had gotten up with gloom and . had inevitably sought each other out. It was just before mess call.
 A little man with wrinkled face and a cane and uniform and eyes that twinkled, watched John and Bill at theirsocc,Ipation of being shomesick. and he sidled up to them. Pretty soon he was sitting on an end of their bench- they didn't notice him any more fhak if he had been an extra 6ootie.' < ,'

 "Mfchigan' said Bill.
 ''New York;" said Jack.
 'Met some New York and Michigan men with the -th.' said the little man casually.
 '.Who?" said Bill and Jack at once.
 The little man named half dozen with their towns. Bill knew some and Jack knew some. and before they real ized 1t they were in the middle if a conversation about Detriit and Utica and Lansing and Long Island. and pol itics and the -th regiment.
 Mess call," said the little man.
 '.Ain't hungry" said Bill.
 Don't want to eat" said Jack.
 Reminds me of Tom Judkins of Pontiac" said the little man. "Al- ways getting off his feed. Know Pon- tiac ?" he asked of the Michigan.
 Played football there."
 "Judkins used to play"
 "What. year?"
 "Bet l jlayed against him."
 And so on and on, talking about the home localities and the home folks and giving the boys chance to mention towns and streets that lay close to their hearts. You could see them brighten up: you could see their eyes brighten: you could feel differ. erence in the air that surrounded them. Bill stood up.
 Guess I'll go feed" he said and banged Jack on the back.
 Pretty hungry myself" said Jack.
 '.Gimme light before you go," said the little man. without enthusiasm. One of the boys held match over his pipe and then both strolled off to the mess tent with a bad case of homesickness operated on skillfully and removed without pain-removed

branch say that drunkenness is so neg ligible in the army as to be non-ex- istent. As for vice, well, the young man in your town is in worse state by considerable. Look up your local vital statistics and see where you stand. In the A. E. F. the exact fig ure of new cases of diseas due to vice is two per thousand per month. What civilian population has ever equalled that figure?
 The army is proud of itself and re- sents imputations against it's decency. Officers resent it and men resent 1t. A captain in the regular establishment said the other day: "Every mother in America ought to know that her son is safer in our army than he ever was at home." Which was not more than the bare truth.
 So, as you may have seen, the job of the Y. M. c. A. is not so much mor- als as morale. Sincere, honest able men have brought their religion with them to France, and are dispensing it in hut, and canteen, on motor truck trucks, in trenches. everywhere.
 Some of it is in the form of sermon some of it is in the form of quiet talks with individual soldiers sought for by the soldiers, more of it takes the form Of self-sacrifice, unselfishness. service. Here in France men are face to face with the real issue. They think. There is not 2 private in Uncle Sam's uniform who has not thought deeply of deep things. Don't lose sight of that Don't shut your eyes to the big truth that men who are on the eve of facing sudden death have held their own communion wtihthe etaoin their own communion with the infinite

Lcndon, June 20 Correspondence of the Associated Press).-One in- stance in which an enemy submarine commander, after sinking British vessel, amazed the survivors by giv- ing them bandages and liniment for their wounds, stands out in sharp con- trast with the brutality or indiffer- ence to suffering practiced by the Ger man sea pirates. Nevertheless the survivors tell story of extreme hard ship endured ill small boats for six days and nights. Seventeen are miss ing of the ships company of 95.

 Many of the crew had been wound- ed, especially among the engine-room force. With difficulty the injured were placed in the boats.
 The submarine suddenly appeared nearby and the commander came on deck. He noticed the wounded, and calling the boats alongside his craft, he went inside, returning with bandages and liniment, which he handed to the surprised officers in charge of the boats. This act of kind ness saved several lives

Old Wayo of Telling Time.

In remote ages the Japanese and Chinese used knotted wick to record time, two feet in length. The wick burned slowly and each knot recorded an hour. Philippi II of Spain is said to have used an oil lamp for the same purpose. The oil was contained in a glass receptacle, on which was scale marking the hours from four in the afternoon to eight the next morn- ing, and the height of the lquid upon the scale would show the time. A 12- inch candle, of which three inches would burn away in an hour, is SUD- posed to have been used by King AL fred.

ROOSEVELT AND THE N. Y.
 GOVERNORSHIP

If Theodore Roosevelt accepts the Republican nomination as candidate for governor of New York this fall it will be surprise, New York Republi- cans to the contrary notwithstanding. Roosevelt wants to be president and nothing but Democratic majority at the next election will prevent it. If he can see where the governorship would aid him in his race for presi- dent (if he wins) he may accept, but he's not for big game and he isn't going to permit job like governor of New York tie his hands. Roosevelt is for self first and the states and nation after.

petition for pardon for man who had served day of a years sentence. The man, John Ragsdale of Johnson county, who was tried on change of venue in Conway county, was to have been taken to the penitentiary the day the pardon was issued. "It was given out" that officials of three counties signed the petition for the pardon and the governor, willing enough, needed the appeals of the signers of the petition.
 We don't know what law Ragsdale violated, but he did violate some law, the grand jury had to indict him and the court had to try him at some ex- pense, and the governor with one sweep of his pen vitiated the whole proceedings.
 It's plain case of a man violating the law and being aided and abetted in his violation by the signers of the petition and the governor.
 The constitutional convention had better devote some time to tying the governors hands, if it cannot remove the pen and ink from the hands of the states habitual petition signers, and try to see to it that man who violates law is punished, or adjourn without the trouble and expense of writing a new constitution. We had better learn to abide by the old con- stitution before we get new one.

Even a cursory study of the ques- tion of allied intervention in Russia to aid the Czecho-Slovaks against the Bolsheviks will show that it is tick fish business and justify the hesitance of President Wilson to announce his stand in favor of the move. It is ex- tremely delicate question and to rush headlong into it might align the Bolshevik government with the cen tral powers. It is generally believed that the Lenine- -Trotsky regime are in German pay and that their poli' cies are dictated by the Wilhelm strasse.
 European Russia is hominally un- der control of the Bolshevik. The ap- pearance of an allied military force in Siberia, which no doubt would en- denger Lenine's hold, would cause him to resort to every means to rally the ignorant masses around (him and against the allies. By the cry of tour country is invaded by the entente power, and enemies of the revolution,' he might succeed in turning the growing sentiment in favor of the United States, England, and France, and transfer it to Germany. Nothing would better suit Germany's ambi- tions. Reorganization of the millions of Russians into an army under Ger man officers would then be but mat ter of time and add to the difficulties of the allies.
 The allies. should protect their SUD- plies at Vladivostok and kola and they should give what aid they can to the Czecho- -Slovaks. but to start an international army into Siberia crea' tes dangerous situation.
 Allied successes on the western front and on the Italian front will re- suit in reflex action in the east. When the Russians and Films see the Gin vincible" German army being beaten by French, American, British and Italian soldiers, they will take advan- tage of the opportunity to loosen the kaiser's yoke about their neck. Beat ing the German armies in the west means their defeat all over the world.
