MEN ARE RUBBING ELBOWS

One day it is read in the press that
an industrial magnate has said in an
interview that the common people of
the land must be helped and that
after the war the workers will be in
a better position than heretofore.
The next day a prominent radical
declares that he has resigned from
the party to which he gave adherence
and that he will get behind the gov
eminent in the war.
Two more men have become &C.
quainted with conditions, and a radi-
cal fanatic and a conservative fanatic
have been turned into normal beings
with the idea of doing what they can
to better conditions in the land in a
helpful, constructive way.
Most fanatics at both ends of the
scale are fanatics simply because thew
dwell in their own little world and
refuse to get the point of view of the
average man.
A man who feeds his brain on his
own thoughts and carries his own
premises to a logical conclusion will
become a fanatic as sure as fate, To
become reasonable he must brush I'm
against other opinions and other
minds, see the point of view of other
people, and revise his conclusions
In America it seems there is a great
movement toward reasonableness. The
people are coming closer together
Ihe magnate is beginning to appre-
"ciate the commoner, and the laborine
man is becoming acquainted with the
man of large affairs.
! When the two meet and become &C
quainted they find much good in one
another. Their selfishness becomes
somewhat dissipated and they find
they are not so far apart as they had
presumed
They begin to work together and to
join hands for the betterment of their
country, love for which equally per-
meates both of them.

FROM ENGLAND

AMSTERDAM, June 19.-Aa aerial
post between England and Holland is
the subject Of an interview given by
the Dutch director of posts and tele.
graphs to the Dutch newspapers.
While doubling whether an aerial post
is possible during war time, he be-
lieves that an international agreement
regarding 1t will be reached shortly
and a plan adopted as soon after the
war as possible. Meanwhile expert.
ments with airplane postal service are
to be made by Holland between Am.

Army officers tell of the improve

are in training for France. On the
average the weight of the men has in.

their chests and limbs larger. They
are better physical specimens, and
hence will be more capable men when
they return from the army and enter
the various works of peace.
Their physical betterment will have
an influence on their mental vigor.

for young man who stands straight

LIFE A 7 POST

FORT LISCUM, June 1S.-Well, the
boys all acclaim that it was some
send-off our Cordova friends gave us,
and we were all hoarse from singing
and cheering on the ride over on the
Donaldson.
After saying good-by to the mos
quito feet the bunch all started to
look for places to snooze, and there
were men scattered all over the boat,
from the hold to the hurricane deck.
We arrived at Fort Liscum at 1880
o'clock Saturday morning, and
marched up to the barracks, where
Lieutenant Leubben gave us the first
roll call. When he called Hans Han
son no one responded, and a search
was started to locate him. After
about fifteen minutes he was found
anchor chains in the lower hold That
afternoon ten men were given phys
ical examination, which ends up with
"a shot in each arm" The one in the
right arm was a hypodermic injection
which causes a pain in the arm for
about two days. So far only forty
have been examined, and out of these
l believe five will be turned down.
We have discovered a relic of the
farm in man named Hume Dula,
otherwise known as Hici Dula, or
Humdinger. Poor Hum went in for
examination and the doctor took one
look at him, and he is waiting now
for discharge. They say he buried
$1,000 in gold under some railroad
ties near Mccarthy, so some of the
fellows are looking for a chance to
guard the bridges near there
George Kennedy is worrying more
about his fish trap than anything else,
and l forget how many fish he said
he would have gotten if he had
escaped the draft. Anyway, I guess
he had signed a contract with the
king of the king salmon.
Jack Johnson took physical exami-
nation today, and got excused from
drill-says he has a sore arm. Jack
declares that Hans Hanson would
make an elegant-looking general.
Dick Lewis has been trying to make
hit with the girls at Valdez, as he
goes across at every opportunity
Dick has been trying to show the
boys how the Home Guard drills, but
he says they were teaching him some
of the movements wrong at Cordova
Dick now admits that he would rather
be regular than home guard.
Roy Fraisure sits and dreams about
his wife.
George Steel lost all of his money
playing blackjack.
Ed Richmond-poor Edits all at
sea. He looks as though he had lost
his last friend. But Ed sure works
hard on the drill. But when he talked |
in his sleep the other night he mag
ined he was back at Strawberry
Point, and the things he, said were
sure mushy
The general program over here is
as follows:
Reveille, 5 As a. M; breakfast, $50;
police up, 1880; drill, 8 to 11:3O;
lunch, II; inspection, 1 p. m; drill,
80 to 4.
