InsrN d of the usual program a social

In the democracy of the dead all men
at last are equal. There is neither
rank nor station nor prerogative in the
republic Of the grave. At this fatal
threshold the philosopher ceases to be
wise, and the song of the poet Is ST.
lent. Dives relinQuishes his millions
and Lazarus his rags. The poor man
is as rich as the richest, and the rich
man is as poor as the pauper. The
creditor loses his usury and the debtor
is acquitted of his obligation. There
the proud man surrenders his digni-
ties, the politician his honors, the
wording his pleasures: the invalid
needs no physician, and the laborer
rests from unreQuited toll.
Here, at last. Is natures final de-
cree in equity. The wrongs of time
are redressed. Injustice is expiated,
the irony of fate is refuted; the un-
equal distribution of wealth, honor, ca
pacity, pleasure and opportunity which
makes life such a cruel and inexplic-
able tragedy, ceases in the realm Of
death. The strongest there has no su-
premacy, and the weakest needs no
defense. The mightiest captain sue
cumbs to that invincible adversary
who dlsarms alike the victor and the
vanquished.-JOhn ]. Ingalls,.

SUFFERED FOR HIS COUNTRY
siIas Deane, First American Diplomatic
Agent, Received Harsh Treatment
From Government.

Silas Deane, the first diplomat tic
agent of the United States, was born
at Groton. Mass, close to 200 years
ago. He became merchant and was
a delegate to the first Continental con-
gress. In the spring of 1910 he was
sent to France as secret diplomatic
agent. He posed as merchant from
Bermuda, and upon. his arrival in
Paris sought an interview with Count
de Vergennes, the Minister Of Foreign
Affaires, who refused to receive him.
Deane was reduced to the direst pow
erty and was elected by his landlady.
Subsequent American ambassadors
have complained Of the lack of suit
able embassies. but Deane was re-
duced to q point where he had to &C.
cept poor lodgings from synpa-
thetic Frenchman. Eventually he was
given an audience with Vergennes and
began the diplomatic relations which
eventually resulted in the French al
lance. In 1777 Deane was recalled.
In the bitter controversy which fol-
lowed his. recall Thomas Paine reveal
ed the fact that supplies furnished the
colonies had been furnished by the
French government. This was con-
sidered diplomatic indiscretton and
1t cost Paine his place us secretary Of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Deane. driven into poverty and exile,
died in England In 1889. Half a CEN
fury later his claim for his services
abroad was adjusted by congress and
large sum was paid his heirs.

club work Is cooperative feature of
the Junior Red Cross. County Agent
Quist has explained at several of the
meetings how the boy or girl who gets
into club work will be helping Uncle
Sam in this war. Every boy who en-
tiers the corn contest will produce at
least Is bushels more corn to the acre
than his father. Every boy or girl
who feeds a pig is going to produce
pork at cheaper cost than his father
Besides raising more foodstuffs, the
club members will be making money
for Thrift Stamps, Red Cross and Y.

The Junior Red Cross officers of each
township will help the club members
of their township. They will act as
judges in weighing, figuring up the
cost accounts and making the reports.

FIRST THOUGHT IS ISOLATION
Aviator Longs for Sound Of Human
Voices when He is Soaring Far
Above the Earth.

became conscious OF u IeelnS OI
loneliness, writes james N. Hall, In the
Atlantic. I remembered what J. Il.
had said that morning. There was
something unpleasant in that isolation,
something to make one look lOngingly
down to earth; to make one wonder
whether we shall ever feel really ut
home in the air. I, too, longed for the
sound Of human voices, and all that /
heard was the roar Of the motor and
the swish Of the wind through wires
and struts-sounds which have no hu.
man quality in them. and are no more
companionable than the tapping Of the
waves would be to man adrlft on a
raft in midocean. Underlying this feel
ing, and, no doubt, in part responsible
for 1t, was the knowledge Of the fal
libility Of that seemingly perfect
mechanism which rode so steadily
through the air; Of the quick response
which that ingenious arrangement of
inanimate matter would make to an
eternal and inexorable law, II a few
frail wires should part; Of the equally
quick, but less phlegmatic response OF
another fallible mechanism, capable of
registering horror, capable, 1t is said,
Of passing Its past life in review In the
space of a few seconds, and then
capable of becoming equally inanilnate
matter.
Sprouts After 1000 Years.
At the ZcnSui Temple, Iwane village,
Kogu-gun, Shiga Prefecture, a very an
cient wooden idol of Vaisravana was
opened four years ago and some rice
that had rep0sed therein fully ten CEN
turtles was removed aud planted. The
seeds terminated and the rice grown
therefrOm appears to be similar In all
respects to that Of the present day.
The yield was large and the crop for
next year from this seed is expected
to be excellent.
Vaisravana Is the God of Treasure.
When the statue was repaired q bag Of
coarse flaxen textile was exhumed con-
tanning rice seeds, with piece Of pa
per bearing the following inscription,
In Chinese: "rhis image has been en-
graved for the peace of the world. If
any one of later generations opens 1t,
he should put in new seeds" The
Tokyo Academy of Fine Art pro-
nOunces the image and its contents Of
great antiQuity-at least 1000 years
old.

American origin, but 1t Is much older

German Window Dressing

1t would be foolish for the Allied publics
to be over-impressed by the sharp differ
ences of opinion now being expressed in
the German newspapers and by speakers
in the Main Committee Of the Reichstag
That the lid on criticism has been lifted
is in itself suspicious. If the German
government didn't want to have these diff
ferences of opinion aired before the world,
the censor would not have passed the kind
Of talk that is now coming out of Berlin.
Every time the German government has
started peace offensive there has been
similar talk. But it has turned out to be
mere window dressing. It's purpose has
been to start pacifist agitation in France

When Bethmann-Hollwcg was forced out
as Chancellor a great effort was made to
persuade the outside world that u real
political crisis was on in Germany. The
Rcchstag was represented as demand
ing liberalization of the imperial sys-
tcm-to the extent, at least, of making
the Chancellor responsible to the Rechs-
tag. The Reichstag itself undertook to
define German peace terms by passing
resolutions deprecating annexations and
a programme Of conquest But after a
few days of unrest Chiefly in the foreign
dispatches) the Crown Prince arrived in
Berlin and with the cooperation of Hin

The American citizen who most ardently
advocated universal training and prepared
ness for war is our first general to be
wounded in France. He belongs at the
front-at the front Of the hottest action
wherever that may be. For the present
that front seems to be WASHINGTON rather
than France, and that is where most
Americans would like to see General Wood
to-day. But the main point is that his
very great abilities - abilities recognized
throughout this country as throughout
Europe-shal be used to full advantage.
1t will be the hope Of every one that his
presence in France presages such use
The entire nation will hope FOR General
Woods speedy recovery. We can i'll spare
our most distinguished general from our
fighting line still in the makinc
