WHEN LINCOLN
 WAS CENSURED
Great War President at One Stage Considered Failure by Ma
 tional Leaders

On tho l2th of thc present month. which was thc anniversary of Che birth of the immortal Abraham Lincoln. Che New York World pub ushcd the following
 Abraham Lincoln was the thcmc today of many public speakers Tho observance Of Che anniversary would have greater significance Co Che pres cnt generation if Che Emaucipator were regarded by his eulogists less as a sentimental or mythical char actcr and more as the First Amer icau a wise and purposcfuI human being devoted Co law and duty. and always fully conscious not only Of his great powers os Commander in Chief. but Of his sole responsibility for their use.
 Lincoln was more dcrccly assoilcd by Che dictatorill leaders of his party u and out of congress than Wilson has been. and they were men of more dominant position than these now appearing as accuscrs. He had opposition. false and ambitious iu his cabinet He had been in odicc only cIgtccu months or SO when Benjamin F. Wade. much more in- 8ueuuaI than any Chamberlain or Hitchcock Of today, politely told him "the country was going Co hell under his management"
 One of the shrcwdcst and best Judges Of pubic opinion che country has ever known. Lincoln had to en- durc kind of ecclesiastical and poe uucal terrorism which Wilson thus tar has escaped. A couclave ot dis unguished clerymcn once assem- bIed iu Washington gor Che purpose of telling him the vii, of God. Zach ariah Chandler, simon Cameron. Henry Winter Davis. Thaddcus Stevens and Horace Greeley were SO confident that he had failed In his mighty task that for a considerable period In 1864 they openly pre- dlc.sI his defeat for reelection. They were wrong.
 An these cumulative forces were arraycd against Lincoln. first be- cause he would not. until thc time was ripe. exercise his authority as Commander in Chief against slavery. and later because. when rcconstruc- ton or some occupied states was un- dertaken. he denied that congress had power Co abolish slavery. al- though by proclamation as Com mander iu Chief he had done that very thing in certain districts. He was right.
 This is the way republics go Go war. and perhaps it is the best way. 40 any rate. in the present season of criticism and attack it will help a little to recall the fact that Che man now immortalized experienced his fuu share Of condemnation and that most ot the praise accorded to him has fallen upon the dull, cold ear Of death.

THROUGH HELL

American Locomotive Engineer in France Gives Awful Descrip-
 ton of His Work

The following letter appeared in Che Grand Rapids CMichD Herald Of recent date and. while the writer makes no special mention of the matter Che reference he does make of Che rcyoltiug practices of Che Ghur- kas fighting with the English army is something Che officials of the lat- ter should stamp out at once as such barbarous practices reflect discrcdit not only on Che Britons, but on their allies and associates iu the war.
 Dear Friend. TO begin with, ! am running train on @ marrow gauge. IS inches. and we use l2 and l5-tou Baldwius. They pull about 52 tons This morViug Co haul troops am English battalion. Our terminal was about three miles from Che German trenches. We started our drive. but while ! am writing they are stu going and have coy cred more than five miles.
 "I had just got my orders from Che dispatchcr's office when they turned Che guns loose and the chief said. Young man. you are going into hcll' BelIyc me. it sure was.
 "Thcrc were dead and wounded lying aU around. and | had the co1I cars filled with dead and dying when started back. They have been hauling them back an morn ing. 10 sure Is a hell of a sight arms and legs shot oG and eyes shot out
 "Thc last trip down had quite bunch Of German wounded About 6.OOO prisoners have been brought in SO far. cant stop Co explain everything. but just think of going between the big guns on each side; an are splitting fire and shot at you and dropping shells al around.
 "But thc Bochc fire did not last long when our tanks started after them. You ought Co sec those tanks work. cant tell you how many there are, but they were only 100 feet apart as far as ! could see. and thc infantry fell right in behind
 "Thc Fritzcs moved our boys down. but the boys fought and hn- ally they began to win with their machine guns. After the tanks got by thc Grst-line trenches the Eng fish had a walkaway. and In a short time we had the rail laid three miles farther, where the Germans had fled. and we stil are going.
 "I expect another call in a few hours Co go back for moro dead and wounded and to take materials for continued line.
 "We had quite a bunch of these Ghurkas from India wounded, and they an had a string of German ears around their nccks. They will wear them there until they are taken away from them There is one of them here in the hut with me now. One of them can talk good English.
 "I just went out and watched them bring in 800 more cFrmans. That Is great sight. can hear the guns ringing again, and ! know ! | must go soon. lt will be a big job when ! go the next timc."

Sweeping reductions IA long dis
lance and toll telephone rates by
the adoption Of a basic charge Of
6H mills a mile, airline mileage,
and half the day rate for night SER
vice mp to midnight and one-fourth
the day rate after that hour, were
announced yesterday by Postmaster
General Burleson. They become eff
fective next January 21st.
The new rates were recommended
in the first report Of the Committee
on Rate Standardization, and Mr..
Burleson's statement said their eff
feet is to equalize the tolls and long
distance charges over the country,
removing disparities and prefer
ences and providing a scientific
basis for future reductions contem-
plated as unifcation Of telephone
and telegraph wires proceeds"
"a night service rate" said the
statement, (which is one-half the
day rate, is established between
s 80 and IL p. m. Between mid
night and 4:30 a. M, the night rate
is one-fourth the day rate. These
are greater reductions in night rates
than have ever been made in any
country, and doubtless will be ex-
tensively used, especially for social
and family purposes. A person
might talk from San Francisco to
New York for about 81, whereas
the day rate is approximately $40.

also greater variety of design. The

From about her seventh year until
she is well along in the 'flapper" stage
the growing girl usually requires some
special attention to clOthe her becOm-
;ngly. This is 'the awkward age"
with some children, who are either too
angular or too chubby, while others
get through it without difficult lines
that must be softened. But for all
of them the straight line dress seems
to be the safe choice-the thin little
girl and the fat little girl, with per-
hapS a little variation in waist line,
wear it with equal success.
New frocks for school, and other
everyday wear this fall, have been pre-
sented, and two of them, shown above,
demonstrate how well the specialists
who design children's clothes have
managed the straight-line idea. These
two refined and sensible dresses are
pretty and no little girl will look awk-
ward in them. They will interest
the mother who must busy herself with
her daughters school frocks. Both
these models are adapted to cotton or
TO wool materials, and both suggest
ways for remodeling and making

part of patriotism to pass along from
.grown-ups to the small fry during war

CHAPTER XXI.

Punishments and Machine-Gu Stunts.
Soon after my arrival in France; in
fact, from my enlistment, had found
that in the British army discipline is
very strict. One has to be very care
full in order to stay on the narrow path
of government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
of breaking the kings regulations; to
keep one you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by a
firing squad, or ''up against the wall, "
as Tommy calls it.
This is for desertion, cowardice, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
footing, rape, robbing the dead, forcing
safeguard, striking superior, etc.
Then comes the punishment of sixty
four days in the front-line trench with
out relief. During this time you have
to engage in all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land, and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. If you
live through the sixty-four days you
are indeed lucky.

times-or any other times, for that
matter.
Any substantial cotton or reliable
wool fabric may be made up like
the frock pictured of plain goods. The
bodice has the effect of short jacket
which buttons under fly at the 'front.'
and the plain skirt-with fiat saddle
bag pockets applied-is gathered on
to it. The sleeves are three-quarters
Rngth and the dress is worn over a
lawn or batiste blouse with small
turnover collar. The decoration is the
eimplest sort of needlework trimming
merely silk floss in outline stitch
forming squares that border all edges
in the bodice and on the pockets.
Plaid and plain Bingham or plaid
and plain serge will serve equally well
for the other dresses. In this model the
skirt is plated and set on to a plain
body. There are two narrow belts of
the plaid goods, the lower one ter
minating under a narrow box plat in
the front of the skirt and the upper
one fastening with plain button.
The white pique collar and cuffs are
separate. Like the under blouse in
the other dress, they are the means
of freshening up the frock and teach
ing the little ones the invaluable les
son of daintiness in appearance.
