Sgt. c. E. McAlexander contributed to the downfall of the Kaiser by get ting up supplies to the front line trenches. He is a Sergeant in SUD- ply company, and hls princial occu- patton in the War Business was see ing that the trucks with their loads of ammunition and food stuffs got to the depots in rear of the front lines. The lives of the men in the trenches and dugouts depended on the success of getting the trains up. And many a doughboy, sitting on fire step with belt and bandolier of good ammuni tion, a pocket full of real grenades, and a stomach full of real chow has the boys who coax the heavy trucks over the muddy roads of Flanders to thank for it. Sgt. McAlexander is a brother of Mrs. J. P. Baker, 7O5 Texas Street.

Confucius was not a religious teach CT. He taught ethics and was great philosopher. His doctrines dealt with mans relations to man, and not with mans relations or responsibilities to God. The true followers of Confucius can properly be said to have no relig- ion, but most Ccnfucianists have relig- ious notions borrowed either from the Buddhist or Taoist religions, or from both.

It has been found that such animal food as milk, eggs and meat contains growth-producing substances in quanti- ties sufficient for the rapid growth and development of the body. While these substances are found in certain vege- tables and grain, they are in quantities so small that often in the ordinary diet sufficient quantities are not consumed to meet the needs of the growing body.

turned or paid for in full. The ques- ton is one of partial reparatiOn to the Cenetral American republic for breach of faith.
 Colombia has urged that the ques tion be referred to a Hague confer- ence or that an arbitration court bc instituted to settle the extent to which Colombian rights have been damaged. This suggestion of arbi- tration has been ignored by the United States. Congress seems to realize that international court pro- ceedings with searching investiga- tions could not result favorably for the United tEates and that South American distrust of the United Sta tes would again be aroused.
 Settlement by treaty appears to be more to the taste of Congress, tho any measure which even faintly ad- mts a mistaken policy is regarded askance.
 But the longer the matter remains unsettled the less credit it is to the United Staets. Furthermore. it can- not be denied that Colombia deserv- es some reparation, nor that the prestige which this country would gain in Latin-America by full and generous settlement would be worth the full $25,000.0Oo.
