London, May 22.-Martial law has
been proclaimed in Bohemia, and, in
consequence of popular excesses,"
many persons have been imprisoned
says a dispatch to the Daily Mail
from Berne, quoting the Slovenski
Parod.
Outbreaks have occurred in Pilsen,
Nachod and other towns. The vast
estates of Prince ~Furstenburg, a close
friend of the German emperor, have
been plundered and the buildings on
them burned.
DIR. Won Seydler, the Austrian pre-
mier, it is added, has summoned the
Czech deputy, Stanek, to discuss the
situation. Deputy Stanek has declin-
ed and has warned the premier
against a policy of violence in Bohe-

Despite all that Kaiser Wilhelm
and the imperial advisers can do to
prevent it, the common people of the
dual monarchy are rapidly approach
ing the point where the smallest
provocation will bring about a revo-
luton.

TEACH WAR IN SCHOOLS

1.-THE WAR is the biggest and
! most important happening in
history. 1t is the war of every
boy and every girl, as well as of
every adult in the United States,
and it's issues will affect the des-
TIMES even of the unborn. Scarce
ly a child can be found in the
schools who does not have a
member of his family or other
relative bearing arms in the con-
test. In the food that we eat,
the clothing we wear, the heat
ing of our houses, the amuse-
.ments we indulge in, and our
travelling to and fro we feel its
actual presence. The war is in
the atmosphere which the child
breathes, and it already plays a
large part in his school life.
Because of this fact, therefore
it is important that the war
should receive systematic treat
ment in the schools. 1t is still
desirable that we be able to give
"a reason for the faith that is in
us" and the child should have
presented to him clearly but
simply the causes and the aims
of the war. Such teaching will
not merely stimulate the patriot
ism of the child and aid in the
various war services imposed
upon the schools. It will react
upon the homes, and powerfully
promote a sound civilian morale.
Our public schools are the most
important agency we have in adj.
vancing the cause of democracy.
They are also the institution in
whose guidance the people in
stinctively have most implicit
confidence and one of the safest
and soundest foundations of
American citizenship.

contributing a moiety out of
your ability, great or small as it
may be, for the purchase Of the

much of the world, is sweeping

the responsibility of saving you,
while you stand off and shirk

Buying Liberty Bonds is to

CHAIN HUNS TO GUNS
They Don't Like the Marine
Brand of Fighting.
SDevIl Dog" Tells In Letter Home OF
Some Wonderful Cases Of
Gameness.

Chicago.-Word has been received
from Dana B. Thrasher. with the Sixth
regiment Of the United States ma
rines, telling of the fighting on the
west front in France, in which his
regiment took part. The young ma
rine expresses deep admiration for his
fellow fighters and advises blow in
the nose for the man who calls the Y.
M. G. A. men slackers.
81 have seen some wonderful cases
Of gameness. We were lying In a
ravine one day when the Germ was
Smelling. An American fell down on
top of us with both legs shot off. All
he said was: I'm sorry to bother you
guys Can you beat 1t?
zone day we were lying In support
and were pretty tired, for we had been
In for a good many days. Our lieu
tenants came back from headquarters
and passed the word that for the last
three days the newspapers in France,
England and the States were full Of
nothing but the United States marines.
We were so glad to hear that that
we felt like arising and strolling into
Berlin.
II suppose You are reading about
the marines successes and telling
everybody. 4 told You so.' I do not
like to brag. SO I will only say that
there may be better fighting men In
the world, but up to date no one has
ever heard Of them. We have been
through some hard fighting lately,
After the first four days the Germ
had to chain his men to the guns.
Take on your hat to the Y. NJ. G. A.
II anyone tells you they are slackers,
hit him right on the nose. They were
up on the line with stretchers and
smokes.

ENGLISH HARD TO MASTER
American Says Tommy Talks Rapidly
and Uses Vastly Different
Pronunciation.

Mansfield, Oft is hard to get used
to the speech of both the English and
the other allies, as the English Tom
mics speak rapidly and have vastly
different pronunciation" wrote Ser
geant Norman w. Burneson, in let
ter just received by friends here, tell
ing Of his experiences at the front.
Another thing that puzzles the Yam
KEGS over there is the value of coins.
Many amusing arguments, he said,
arise over making change. But the
Americans usually get all that is COM
ing to them," he wrote.

BUY UNTIL 1T HELPS

TWO expressions that are Of
i ten used, 'Buy until it hurts
and "Give until it hurts" the
one referring to the purchase of
Liberty Bonds and the other to
contributions to the Red Cross
or the Y. M. G.. A. or kindred
work.
Both are fundamentally false
in meaning. They should be
sent to the scrap heap Of rubbish
and supplanted by "Buy until it
helps" and "Give until it helps. !"
Do not for one moment vain
gloriously think that this means
until it helps the country or the
Red Cross or the Y. M. C. A. or
CARNATIONS. It means buy or
give until it helps YOU and
gives YOU a clearer understand
= = 3 y =
ing of your responsibility.
BUY until it helps" you by
broadening your vision of the
war and the struggle to save civ
ilization.
Buy Liberty Bonds not out Of
the surplus which you can spare
without feeling.
Buy not merely because the
purchase of Liberty Bonds is
strengthening the nations pow
er to fight.
But buy because your soul
needs the quickening influence
of a wider conception of liberty
and humanity and civilization.
And the more freely you buy
the greater will be the ennobling
of your own soul. You will be
helping yourself, and in that way
you will at the same time be help
ing the nation and civilization.
1t is no act of charity to buy
Liberty Bonds. 1t is merely

GREAT SUFFERING IN CHINA
Next to Impossible to Get Foreign
Goods Into Country, Says
American.

Seattle, Wash.-It is next to impos.
sible to get foreign goods into China,
according to ]. Stavers, who is here
from Shanghai, where he represents
an American oil company. While there
is no great suffering in China, he says
prices are high and the poorer classes
find it difficult to live.
The revolution in China and the de-
mands of the allied armies are respon-
sible for this condition, says Stavers.

JOHNNY GET YOUR
GRAMMAR

yV1HILE the German gram
w mar is decidedly in the dis
card in "these parts" it is COM
ing to the front at the front, and
some of our school ma'ams with
a "deutsch" education who are
minus jobs can undoubtedly find
employment in the Yankee rest
billets behind the lines in France.
In the August number of the
"Spiker," the official publication
of the Eighteenth Railway En-
gineers, which is sent to us each
month by Frank Driscoll, we
read that the study of German
is becoming popular among the
boys at the front. The Spiker
says:
"Yanks, fall in! Attention
Take your hands out OF your
pockets and throw away your
cigarettes! We have something
important to say to you. Pro-
vide yourselves with grammar,
tout de suite! Don't shuttle your
feet and look Disguised. Stand
straight, eyes front and thumbs
parallel, adjacent, at right angles
or whatever it is, to the seam of
your trousers, and give us a
chance to finish the sentence.
We are not talking about
French grammars at all. French
grammars as passe, fini, has
beens.. What you must get now
is German grammar. One of
these days, when we go strolling
into Berlin, we'll be in a deuce
of a fix if we don't know enough
German to inquire the way to
amusement, entertainment and
necessity. How will you feel
you Riley Bucks, if you drift in
to a Berlin restaurant on the
Day of Occupation and make
some such break as this:

obviously such a procedure
would be in bad form, even
among conquered Heinies. Of
course it is tough, to say the
least, after months of intensive
training with mutes, diphthongs,
liaisons, gurgles and gargles, to
have to switch to a verbal diet
of gutterals, but at that it is a
chance of a life time-a once-in-
a-thousand-times opportunity to
demonstrate your Yankee adapt
