EAST DISCOVERS THE INDIAN.

The war is discovering to the East the American Indian. It is showing him up as an American patriot and good citizen of common country. And he is all of that. He is donating to the Red Cross, he is in the army going the top, just like his white fellow citizen.
 The West discovered the real Indian long ago It took a long time to do it. The discovery incident with the development of industrial cational education. The day of the good Indian be- ing dead Indian, from the Western viewpoint be- gan fade away when it learned that Indians could be taught how to work and that the proper education for the Indian to teach him to be able to make living for himself under changed conditions. There a time when missionaries sought only to convert the Indians to the Christian religion and to educate him the three Rs. with the giving of a college education here and there When vocational education started the Indian became interested, and now he is becoming useful to himself and the country, and he is becoming good citizen Let it be said their credit that the mis- sionaries and Christian Indians among the first to solve this problem

BURSTING CHARGE OF BIG SHELLS ARE
 MIXED IN FLIGHT

PARIS, July 29.-That the burst ing charge of shells from the Ger man long-range guns is mixed while the projectiles are in actual flight is the belief of French scientists, according to a technical journal pub lished here
 When the shelling of Paris be- gan it was noticed that the explos- ion of a shell produced a cloud of black smoke mixed with a little that was white and accompanied by a strong smell of ether. Recently the smoke has been entirely white and very light, the ether odor persist ing
 No shell that failed to explode has been found, nor even an entire fuse. indicating how delicate and reliable the explosive is. This fact leads experts to suppose that the shell is charged with two liquid explosives, separated by the perforated partition which is known to exist in the cen ter of the projectile.
 When the shell is fired at a high angle the liquid in the upper end ! combines with that in the lower chamber, and churned to a violent rotation, produces at the moment of l it's impact, three minutes later, a perfect mixture. This would .ex plain it is said, the ability of the charge to resist the enormous shock i when fired and the remarkable uni. | formity of the explosions.

PROUD OF THEM.

Col Roosevelt gave four to the service oi his country. Two of them have been gassed or wounded and third Lieut. Quentin. is reported miss ing under circumstances which make it extremely probable he is dead. The fourth is on his way to the front.
 By contrast with this record of the former Pres idents family, take that of the Kaiser and his six uninjured sons.' Instead of fighting, the Roose- welt boys have done, the Kaiser's brood have kept safely in the background grooming themselves for the thrones they expected to occupy when the strong German sword" has completed its work of hewing out kingdoms for the younger
 Tho sympathy of the entire country goes out to Col. Roosevelt. The Roosevelt boys have done just what thousands of other young Americans have done, and what expected them to do In bearing their share of the common burden and facing the common peril they have run true to form and to the traditions of their ancestry. The country is proud of them.

EX-KAISER 2.i90DY HEART s FILLED WITH GREAT FEAR

London, Dec 4.---Winiam Hohen- zollern wears a dejected appearance, according to the TeIeEraph's corre- erondent at Amecongen, Holland, who says he Las talked with some one who has come much in contact with the exile''
 This person is quoted, as follows:
 The former emperor wore an air of relief when he arrived at AIneron- gen. But that soon vanished. Even his cheery wife cannot now reuse him from moodiness. The former empress is really something of a heroine and tries to make her husband look on the bright side of things, but in vain The distinguished fugitive has terror in his heart"
 Herr Hohenzollern keeps more and more to himself and constantly is less inclined to go about. The correspond ent says his informant took him to an unfreQuented place from which an unshaded window in the castle was visible. Pointing to the window, the gentleman said:
 The former emperor sits at that
 window writing as though against
 time, hour after hour, sheet after sheet, often all the forenoon and ali ] the afternoon"

 GOVERNMENT HAS
 DENIED REPORT

Paris, Tuesday, Nov. 5-The royal Montenegrin government has issued a statement denying the report that King Nicholas has been deposed.
 The statement points out that the Skupshtina las no constitutional ex" istence, and that the only body having authority of making any pronounce ment as to the sovereignty of the state is the national parliament. This body, it is said, cannot meet at present, many members being confined in Aus trian prisons or living abroad.
 My deposition was but a straw cast to see which way the wind blows, said King Nicholas of Montenegro to Matin representative yesterday. If meeting was he'd at Podogoritza, (where the Montenegrin national as sembly i2 reported to have met) l have not the slightest news of it. A meeting such as that could have been held only under the shadow of bayo- nets. A legal pIebiscite is not carried out by armed force. That is why consider what has passed down there as being without importance"
