TEETH ASACAUSE OF TROUBLE

Of 100000 men examined for mill
tary service, more than 100000 were
rejected for, physical reasons by local
boards. Including those rejected at
the environments, just about one-third
of all who were examined were found
unfit for duty. OF the causes for re-
lection recorded in various partial in
vestigations that have been made, de-
fective eyesight was first and defect
i've teeth next. The neces-
sity of looking after children's eyes
is pretty we'll understood, even if it is
not recognized in practice. But it is
only recently that even the medical
profession has begun to understand
the possibilities of trouble from bad
teeth. The occasional toothache is a
discomfort, but a comparatively trivial
one. The real danger is that mouth
infections may set up disturbances in
other parts Of the body. The same
risk of rheumatism or kidney disease
or heart trouble that attends tonsilitis
results from pus pockets about the
teeth. Even the unsupported abscess
beneath a gold crown may be RESPONSE
BILE for unhappy consequences. SO
the X-ray has come to be of import
ance to the modern dentist, and the x
ray photograph Of the mouth may re-
veal the sources of a battling disease.

FREE SPEECH IN WARTIME

The essential principle of free
speech-the right kind of free speech
is in not the slightest danger of be-
ing abrogated ia this land Of the free,
in spite Of all the lamentations over
the passage of the Overman bill. And
it never will be unless the kaiser
comes over and takes charge of US.
What constitutes free speech
in days of peace is and should be very
different from that which is allowable
in time of war. To reach all the cum
ming forms Of German propaganda.

BARRING ALIEN TEACHERS

The point of view of the Socialist
members of the New York legislature
concerning alien teachers in the pub
lie schools makes one lift his eye
brows. The bill provides that all
teachers in public schools must be
American citizens or must have signi-
fed their intention to become citizens.
Every Socialist member voted against
it. If they could vote for alien school
teachers, would they not also vote for
making aliens eligible for all public
Offices in America, from a selectman
to the president of the United States?
Perhaps only the bourgeois" mind
harbors a certain prejudice against
public schools anywhere filled with
alien teachers and perhaps only New
York Socialists have the true concep-
ton of American nationality. An alien
teacher here and there could do no
harm, but there are cities and COM
munities in this country where it were
easily possible to have too many of
them.-Springfeld (Mass.) Republi-

DR.. VAN DYKE ADDS A STANZA

This additional stanza to "The Bat
tie Hymn of the Republic" has been
composed by DR.. Henry van Dyke
formerly pastor of Brick Presbyterian
church, New York, now a chaplain in
the naval reserves. He was ambas
sador to Holland during the early
years of the war:
We have heard the cry of anguish
from the victims OIL the Hun,
And we know our country's peril i
the war lords will is done
We will fight for worldwide freed6I

A SOCIALISTS VIEW OF WAR

How in the world should any Amer
lean citizen, be he native-born or nat
uralized, wish to see the kaiser's mill
tary steam roller be victorious? Only
ignorance and stupidity or selfish ma
terial interests could welcome such a
victory. At this most critical time in
the history of nations it is Of the
greatest Importance that especially
the millions of our fellow-citizens of
German descent become clear on the
situation in Germany. They must
draw the line between the kaiser's war
machine and the German people; be-
tween German autocracy and German
democracy. Let no one be deceived.
If the German military machine should
win a decisive victory in this war,
then God have mercy on German de-
mocracy-G. A. Hoehn in st. Louis

THE, BLIND LEADING THE BLIND

The confession of the Milwaukee
Germania-Herold that it's ideas on~ the
real merits of this German. attack
upon the civilization of the world have
been all wrong and that it has been
grossly deceived by the lying Prussian
iunkers, is having a splendid effect on
the minds of thousands of our citizens
Of German descent. They now begin
to see that they have been misled by
the German language papers just as
those papers were misled in the first
place.
Since 1914 it has been almost impos-
sible to make those who read these
German language papers see that they
were not being given the facts of this
war as they have actually occurred.
They would tell us that we who read
English language papers were igno-
rant of the merits of the controversy.
Testimony incontrovertible concern
ing the wolfish savagery of the Ger
man government they threw aside be-
cause their German paper did not be-
lieve it. Probably there is no people
on earth so completely language bound
and fettered as those who read only
German.
But now the light is breaking in
upon those people. The trusted leader,
the Germania-Hero tells them that
paper and reader have been fed on a
mass of lies. Germany was solely to
blame for this murderous assault upon
the peace Of the world. That the Ger
man government has been plotting
and preparing for the cowning vii
liany of all the ages for 40 years. 9th
er people could see it, but the Ger
man people could not.-Former Gov

CASTING OFF AN EVIL NAME.

Since the United States entered the
world war a large number of insur-
ance companies, transacting business
under German name, have changed
their title to less opprobrius appella-
ton. The following-fs a list down to
May:
German American, New York City,
to Great American
German American, Pa, to United
American.
German American, Md, to Baltf-
more American.
German, Md, to Central
TeutOnia, Pa, to Republic
Germania Underwriters to Washing
ton Underwriters.

tual.

German American Life, Nebr., to
North American.
German American Life, Iowa, to Ma
tional American.
German Mutual, Mo-, to Mutual.
Germania Life, New York City, to
Guardian.
These companies are not foreign
corporations, but are organized and
chartered under the laws of the vari-
Gus states of the United States. In
the list are recognized some of our
largest and most progressive compa-
MES, and those which have responded
the most literally to the call of the
president in the purchase of liberty
bonds. The management of these cor
porations has been quick to throw Off
every semblance of allegiance to the
central powers, and has adopted
names more in harmony with the
country in which they have their
abode.
Evidently the words German" and
"kultur" have lost their potent force
among American business men, and it
will be many decades before the stig-
ma cast upon them by the war lord CT

MOST RADIANT OF ALL DAYS
There Are None Whose Light Has Ever
Shone So Far as the Light
of Christmas.

OF all the radiant days of the year
there are none whose light has ever
sbone so far as the light Of Christ.

never be quenched, and 1t shines today,

though 1t may be dimmed by the dark.
ening clouds Of man-made human con-
fiict says an exchange.
For a thousand years before the
Christian era the Hebrews were look
ing forward to the light of Christmas.
They saw the golden age before them
when the Christ should come, and their
expectation of Messiah lighted up
the manger ut Bethlehem. And then
he came; and since then the whole
world has been looking both backward
and forward to the light Of Christmas.
Other days we have that are dear
to the human heart, but Christmas is
a little dearer than all other days to
the heart of grOwn-up men and women,
and infinitely dearer to the hearts of
the children. The light of Christmas
shines for them all the year round.
They bark back to the joys of the
Christmas that Is past, and they are
always looking forward to the light
Of the Christmas that is to come.
Christmas is the day of days to all
humanity, but 1t belongs essentially to
the children. You remember that
Christ took little child and set him
in the midst Of his disciples, saying:
"Of such is the kingdom of Heaven"
And that was because child is so
rich in faith and hope and expecta-
tons. And because Of this faith and
hope and expectation the children are
always looking forward to Christmas,
seeing its light, and anticipating its
joys. And SO, whatever else we do, let
us make the children happy on Christ
mas. Let us help them to understand
the meaning and the spirit of this day
Of loving and giving, and as far as in
us lies, let us all become as little chill
dren on Christmas day, remembering
that he who gave us the Christmas,
himself had the heart of a little child.

And then will come the question of
possible extradition for the person OF

May not the British government issue

Stopping the Draft.

Stoppage of all proceedings under
the draft is 4 wise move and is highly
appreciated by the people. Had there
been necessity for further transporta-
ton of troops to France, to finish the
work of war, there would have been
no demur, but on the contrary the
most enthusiastic response to the call.
But with the signing of the armistice,
virtually in terms Of peace, there is no
occasion for augmenting the already
great force abroad. The decision to stop
the draft will insure the least possible
dislocation of industrial conditions and
will furnish the point of beginning for
the return of the men in arms to
peaceful pursuits.

Armistice and World-Peace.

What is the Germany which has
signed the armistice terms? Is it the
same Germany with which we shall
conclude peace?
| Is all Gaul again to be divided into
three parts or many parts? Shall We
behold the creation of one German
representative republic, or several? Or
shall bolshevik anarchy, in lieu of gov
eminent, rage in Germany as in Rus
STA!
Through the armistice our fighting
ceases. We shall fight again only in
the event of resistance of the future
German g0vernment-whateve form
that government may take-to fulfill
ment of the conditions of armistice,
which involve absolute military surren-
der. Perfecting this military surrender
with stringent adequate guarantees
means that Germany, whether republi-
can, or cred" autocratic, or anarchieal,
will acquiesce without resistance in
any terms of permanent peace which
may be fixed in conference.
Moreover. all the diversified forces
in the great German revolution. now
developing, favor peace with us. Each
wishes through the unembarrassed use
of its own power to secure dominance,
with or without fighting, at home.
Those Germans, few or many, who
cannot throw off at days notice their
lifelong convictions in favor of the
monarchie idea; the great middle class
of Germans, the "bourgeoisie"; and
the bOlshevik reds are to he merged
into q representative republic. The
German social democratic party, which
controls Germany for the time being,
is attempting this task. Regent Maxi
milan is the imperial successor of the
abdicated kaiser. Chancellor Ebert, ap-
pointed by the regent, is the leader of
the socialist party. That party is the
largest in the German parliament, poll
ing in 1912 a vote of over four millions.
The socialist government is at this
moment in close touch both with what
remains of imperialist Germany and
with the revolutionary reds.
All the world desires that the pres
ent government of Germany may sue
coed in its herculean labor. But the
possibility of failure remains.
Will the millions of returning Ger
man soldiers, who will largely de-
itermine what the future Germany shall
be. ceasing to fight against US fight
savagely among themselvesf Will the
] German revolution follow the lines of
the French revolution and of the Rus
