accorded full trust and that she should
be backed up in the Intervention on the
ground that her interests in the east had
to be protected while at the same time
no aggression would be attempted again
st the Russians.
The allies apparently are quite fav-
orable to action, presumably with Japan
playing lone hand. Some of the allied
feeling is that Russia deserves no con-
sideration at allied or American hands.
This spirit, however, conflicts with the
American idea of encouraging the Rus
slams, particularly as they now show
some tendency to hold off the Teuton.
The German grasp on Russia is con-
sidered a distinct menace to world
peace as her Mittel Europa idea or her
control of Alsace-Lorraine and it is ar
gued that anything that will tend to
thwart the German without harming the
Russians is worth trying.
The apparent breaking off of Russo
German peace negotiations squares with
the recent diplomatic adviees of the Am
erican government which said that ulti-
mately real fighting machine would be
formed and a new leader would rise to
head the Slavs. Rumania, too, is now
inclined to resent imposition OF any un-
fair German peace terms.
The American position, it is believed,
will not be long withheld. Consulta-
tions between Colonel House, Lord
Reading, Secretary Lansing and the pre-
sident have apparently served to clear
the atmosphere, though it left diff
cult problem for the president to solve.
Japan is anxious to be up and at the
task and is pressing for an answer. Some
authorities suggest she has merely TAX
en- diplomatic way of letting the al
lies know that she intends to act in any
event.

Moline Universal Tractor
A Proven Success

/ The Moline Universal is the ideal trac
tor for the acreage size farm. 1t pulls
the usual five-horse load-will do as
much work as seven horses, owing to its
greater speed and endurance. It requires
less space than one horse and less care
than one horse. 1t can be used for plow-
ing, planting, cultivating, moving, hay
ing and harvesting-in fact all field
work.
The Moline Universal is easier to han
die than a team of horses, weighs about
the same, turns in a 16foot circle, and
will back with the implement attach
ed. 1t is compact, simple, close-coup-
led, a wonderful puller, and carries no
dead weight. And best of all, it is op-
Grated from the seat of the implement
attached. This permits one man to op-
crate both tractor and implement, and
removes him from any possible vibra-
tion of the engine.
No other tractor on the market will
do such a great variety of work, nor is
as correct in design and construction.
Not An Experiment.
Every feature of the Moline Univer-
sal has been given the careful, earn
est study of experienced tractor engin-
eers.
Besides the heavy work given it on
the many farms where it has operated
during the last two years, men of long
experience with tractors have tested the
present up-to-date Moline Universal in a
most thorough manner in various sec
tions of the country on different kinds
of work.
Built and Backed By S19,ooO,0O0
Concern
When you buy tractor it is impor-
tant to know that it is built by firm
of unquestioned experience in farm ma
chinery construction, who are thorough
ly responsible, and who stand behind
it with a strong guarantee.
We have been building farm macAin-
es for over so years; and our $19,00O,-
900 paid-up capital stands back of our
guarantee and is proof that we have
given the farmers of America conscien-
tious and satisfactory service.
The Moline Universal Tractor is an
important addition to the unrivalled Mo
line line, which includes every tool nee
essary to prepare the seed bed, plant,
cultivate and harvest crops. Any of
these tools may be used with the Moline
Universal.

DISTRESSED LITTLE ONES

Heal.trending scenes were Witness
cd at Plymouth, Eng, when hundreds
of survivors of the torpedoed steamer
Galway Castle were landed Thursday
morning. The passengers were most
" women and children, and it is be-
lieved that whole families have been
lost.
Among the survivors were little tots
scarcely able to walk, crying in vain
for their parents. Parents were
searching in all directions for news
of their children and women were
seeking vainly for their lost husbands
There seems no reason to doubt
that the vessel was torpedoed without
The slightest warning.

TARRED WITH SAME STICK

Jos. H. Odell in the Outlook asks
the question, Why do Americans per-
sist in differentiating between the
German military caste and the Ger
man people? They were ordinary
Boche regiments which held Chateau
Thierry. and when their evacuation OF
the place became obviously necessary
thew set about to destroy and pollute
everything within reach. Remember,
this is not hearsay; | went into Cha
teau Thier'y on the heels of the
American advance and saw, things
with my own eyes. Every available,
Hunnish, fiendish, filthy thing that
men could do these Huns did in Cha
teau Thierry just before they left.
The streets were Uttered with the
private possessions of the citizens
thrown through the windows; every
bureau and chiffonier drawer was
rifed and it's contents destroyed; in
the better-class houses the paintings
were ripped and the china and porce-
lain smashed; furniture was broken or
hacked; mirrors were shivered nto a
thousand fragments, mattresses and
upholstery were slashed richly bound
books were ripped; in fact, there was
hardly a thing nthe city left intact.
The houses of the poor, in which the
German privates had been billeted,
were just as badly pillaged and dew
astated as the homes of the well-to-
do. The church, grand enough for a
cathedral, had not been spared. Its
paintings and affairs and crucifxes
and stations of the, cross had been
ruthlessly battered and deffled. Yet
even this does not tell the story; a
story which cannot be told to people
who respect decency-for the Ger
mans left tokens of physical and
mental obscenity in every house |
visited, and | entered scores. II all
hell mad been let loose in choice SUI
hurban town for half day, it could
not have put it's obscene and diaboll-
cal mark on a place more unmlstaka-
bly, than the Germans put theirs on
Chateau Thierry. l stood amazed
that there could be so much unrelieved
vileness, such organized beastliness, in
the world.

"BRICk" POMEROY

An old fable tells of a man whose
wont it was to perform on flute in u
village tavern. He was Il success in
this place, and the futer, dreaming he
was called upon to show himself to
he world, rented Il theatre in near
BY city and announced that he would
give performance. His notes, how
ever. were so low in the large build
inc that but few of the audience
could hear him, and he was Kissed off
the stage.
The moral Of the fable was never
more plainly fulfilled than in the his
tory of Mark NJ. Pomeroy. generally
known as Brick Pomeroy, who was
mentioned today in an item clipped
from the files of Richmond paper OF
50 years ago, Pomeroy was then at his
zenith. He had removed to New
YORK from La Crosse, Wis, suppos-
ing the latter place was contracted
:inld for man who had gained such
notoriety.
The war between the states closed
in 1868, when Pomeroy was editing
weekly paper known as the Lacrosse
Democrat, the contents of which con-
sisted. in the main. in vitriolic attacks
upon the federal government. In the
south editors were compelled to meas
ure their words. as military prisons
were ready to enclose any one who
dared express opinions hostile to the
powers that existed Pomeroy, IN
far-away Wisconsin. however. was
fearless, and his weekly Lacrosse
Democrat attained one of the largest
calculations ever known in this coun-
try. hundreds of copies having been
sold in Alexandria,
About this time Charles Lobdell, a
brilliant editor. said to have been
the pulse Of the Lacrosse Democrat,
was killed in a railroad accident, and
readers of the paper noticed a decided
lack of spirit in the writings which
followed.
About half a century ago, when the
LaCrcsSe Democrat was known .
throughout the country and wien
Pomeroy was rolling in wealth, he
concluded to remove his PAPER to
New York. It soon appeared bearing
