NO REFLECTION ON AGE.

Before a general, or colonel, or d
major, is sent to France, he passes
at least two severe physical examina-
lions, and if he is finally certified for
service abroad it means that he is in
fine physical condition able to with
stand the seventies of life in the war
zone.
The fact that so few old men are dis
patched to France is no reflection on
them because of their years, but is
simply affirmation of the fact that the
war department is entrusting its plans
for foreign service to men who are
capable both mentally and physically
Il takes Drawn as well as brain to be
a good soldier these days. There is
10 more of the Spanish-American in
cident of a fat general like Shafter
sitting under tree and complacently
directing operations.
In other branches of service here
at home te government is employing
men of advanced years, many of whom
are volunteers. There is no invidious
disParagement of age at all, for it is
unquestionably conceded by the Off
Gals in charge that age is only a
ahndicap when it is not accompanied
by the elasticity and vigor of youth.
Some of the worlds greatest produc-
tons in literature, science. music and
art are attributable to men whose skill
only attained its ripest point when they
were past the meridian of lief Goethe

Faust Chaucer's best writing was

THE JELLY FISH AND THE TOAD.

Down at Palm Beach the other day.
Mayor Hylan, of New York city, and
William Randolph Hearst, who next
to Tammany was the judges principal
supporter and and ally, were walking
along the beach, talking, of course,
about seas and ships and sailing wax,
and cabbages and kings"
The mayor says-and he tells this
as illustrative of why he likes Hearst.
and as IMPLYING the Hearst kind OF
mantle mayor says that Mr.. Hearst
saw a jelly fish which had closed
about a little toad He ficked it away
with the end of his can, and said
Why let the poor little thing suffer 2 .
This romantic episode of the jellytish
and the toad will undoubtedly live in
history-at least in political history
in New York. We know that the New
York World for years will gravely
cartoon this tremendously touching in
cident, and probably liken Mr.. Heart
to the jellyfish and His Honor the
Mayor to the toad, poor thing
Assuming this, it is interesting even
now to study the ways, characteristics.
and nature, to say nothing of the per-
sonal appearance, of the jellyfish and
the toad Learned authorities say
the aurelia favidula, or jellyish, which
His Honor selects as a type, holds q
peculiar place in the animal kingdom
1t is neither fish, flesh nor fowl. 1t
belongs to the order hydrozoa This
order is one below the actinoida, or
deadly sea anemone, which clings
l'y one end to a rock and waves the
tonacles upon it's other end as a drag
net for unsuspecting denizens of the
sea. The aurelia IS an annoying hyde
zophite, as all gathers are aware, but
it has not great deal of substance
Thus Steel, in his popular work on
zoology, says 80 much of the body
is water that, if allowed to remain in
the suns rays, after desiccation little
more than mere scale will be left. "
Turning next to the second actor in
tie dramatis personae, one will note
that the Encyclopedia Britannica de
fires "bufo vugaris'' as follows: Toad
a name commonly applied, in contra
distinction to frog to a tailless ba-
trachian of stout build, with more or
less warty skim
All of that is essentially erudite, but
ii is interesting just the same. It
will be even more interesting to OBJ
serve the future conduct of Jellyfish
Hearst and the man he elected mayor
We wonder if there will be anybody
TO prod the Jellyfsh aloose with q
cane.

War is an entirely different propo-

more can the general be an aged and
infirm, though perhaps popular favor
tie. His body must be just as prime
as his mind. That is why so many
excellent officers are detailed for ser
vice in this country-not because Of
their age, nor because of any lack
of ability, but simply that they are
not physically constituted to endure
the ordeals of the modern war.

DO WE KNOW THE TRUTH?


Bolshevik an injustice. Maybe they
are not as bad as we think they are
painted We are so far away, We are
so unfamiliar with the real facts and
the actual situation in Russia, that any
opinion we may form is necessarily
poorly founded.
Russia's democracy" has been de-
scribed by Senator Calder, of New
York as having mud on its boots,
hair on its face, and the love of free
dom in it's heart"
Others have said that it also has Ger
man money in its pocket
But here comes Col. william B
Thompson of New York, man who
spent his time and money in Russia
in charge of the Red Cross work, and
who defends the Bolsheviki. He says:
All we need is great patience,
and a great fairness, and a great
sympathy Russia will soon learn
| that capital and labor must go
hand in hand Russia's vast re-
| . sources must be developed for the
| benefit of the Russian people,
That will be realized by the Rus
sian quite as rapidly as we are
realizing that the employers of
labor must cooperate with labor
to bring about the best possible
results. The freedom of Russia
was as inevitable as the natural
laws governing the rotation of the
earth. The uniting of all forces
in Russia in a democratic social
system is just as inevitable.
"They say, The Russian demo-
cracy is red!' Yes; full of good,
red blood-but you'll find it isn't
yellow!
Mark my words, if the present
program of the Bolsheviki, the
common people of Russia, is not
successful in aiding the common
people of Austria and Germany to
/ break down the autocracies, the
) Russian soldiers will be fighting
, again
! yet Russia is a good deal dis
) organized these days and needs
our help. There have been revolu-
ton and attempted revolution,
one coming on the heels of anoth-
er, but the reports always appear
much more dreadful than the facts
: really are. Russia is happy in
her trials, because Russia has
, found something which her sons
and their fathers and grandfathers
and great-grandfathers have been
striving for. Russia has found
freedom. Russia is a democracy.
1t is a democracy which comes as
near being representative of the
soil as it would be possible to find
anywhere.
OF course, it is difficult for us to find
any ready sympathy for Russia, now
that that nation has attributed so ma.
terially to te aid of the German cause
The detection of Russia as one of the
opponents of the Kaiser is one of the
greatest calamities of history. The
breakdown of the nation is one of the
most awful spectacles of ali time. But
withal, it is really possible that we
do not know me truth, and for that
reason the expressions of men like
| Col. Thompson are entitled TO seri,
Gus consideration
