SAND SHOTS FROM
18th REGIMENT
Two Band Boys Married. Quar-
antine Keeps Whole Regiment
in Camp. Major 'smathers
Commands Organization for a
Time.


The 18th Infantry Band left it's
home station in Oil City last Septem-
Der with only one member married
man--Musician Francis Maloney, and
now there are SO many Benedicts in
the outfit that statisticians are begin
ming to lose count. Two more band
boys were married during the past
week-Leonard Rumburg to Miss
Agnes Gilten, of Oil City, and Claude
r. Moore, to Miss Clara Schorman,
place on Wednesday and Thursday of
last week, and the bridegrooms con-
sidered themselves lucky in getting all
day passes for the occasion.
For one whole day last week the
men were denied the privilege of send
ing letters home, although they were
allowed to get all incoming mail When
it was announced late Friday night
that they could send letters once again,
beginning Saturday, they We're about
the happiest looking crew of dough
boys you ever saw.
When Colonel Richards went to San
Antonio for a course at the Field
Officers School, Lieut.-Col. Gamble
assumed command. On Monday morn
ing he. was taken to the hospital,
threatened with pneumonia, but re-
covered rapidly, and has been out to
camp an hour or so every day since
last Thursday.
Payday arrived at last-on Wednes-
day, January 10th, after nearly every
soldier boy with an empty pocketbook
had thought the ghost might not walk
this month Shortly after l o'clock
the 112th Band marched down the
avenue to Company M, the buglers
blew pay cali while the famous musi-
clans blared away with "The Gold
Gray Mare" What a picture! Fellows
high up on the tent poles pulling UP
canvas, men in the streets with the27
cots and blankets, fellows playing ball
everybody stopped and dropped eV-
,erything, letting out one great shout
that went rolling across the field and
to the edges of the camp. Pay day
had arrived and not a pass TO the city
to be had!
The fellows at Regimental Head
quarters are finding out these days
that the drilling game is not the only
one that keeps a soldier busy; clerks
can be as much on the jump. too
Colonel Gamble has suggested that an
awkward squad" be organized soon
and the clerks given an opportunity
to drill with the rifle at least an hour
day but the Youngsters who pound
the KEYS have been SO busy, working
throughout the evenings as well, that
there has been no chance for the
awkward squad" to get in motion.
The whole office force is on the job
from early in the morning until late
at night.

TURKEY ADHERES

The Turkish cabinet, according to a MESSAGE pub
lished in a. German, paper, has announced It's determi-
nation I'm all circumstances to adhere to the alliance with
the Central powers.' III. .s,
The source Of the information alone leaves the re-
port open to suspicion. The German press is engaged
the tagging spirits Of the German people. With an un-
interrupted series Of defeats extending over a period az
more than two months; with all of the territory gained
in their spring offensive lost; with their strongest de-
lenses penetrated; with their Turkish, allies literally wip-
ed off the earth in Palestine; with Bulgaria, another ally,
whipped begging for terms and now definitely and per-
manently out OF the war; with her grip on the east shaken
loose and her western armies everywhere in retreat Ger
many has need Of cheer, and will make the most even
OF the fact that the sick man Of Europe" intends to
stand by her. Hence any action in Constantinople indi-
eating even the probability that Turkey intends to re-
main in the war will naturally be seized on and magni-
fled in Germany. -
AS to the effect Of such a decision, assuming it to
have been made, there are several aspects of the case to
be considered. The Young Turk party, which has been in
control since the dethronement Of Abdul Hand, is the
truculent' ambitious, aggressive party of the empire. The
new sultan Is reported to be somewhat less amenable to
the control of this group than it was supposed that he
would be. but the Young Turks. nevertheless, constitute
the dominant official element. It was the hope of this
element to reconstitute a great Turkish empire in Eu-
rope, and the support of the European powers in this
ambitious scheme was sought. Great Britain, France
and Italy refused. Germany agreed, and Turkey then be-
came Germany's ally. The alliance has not been a for
tunate one for Turkey. AS a result of the late Balkan
wars she found herself stripped of nearly all of her Eu-
ropean possessions, and as a result of her present ad-
venture most Of her Asiatic possessions have melted away.
The Turkish government finds itself between the devil
and the deep sea, and for it one course seems about as
disastrous as another. If Turkey capitulates now the
present government is doomed, and it's members may
have concluded that by hanging on for a time they may
be able to pull something out Of the wreck. and that they
propose to follow that course and take their chances.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN

The theory Of Socialism is that the people shan rn,e
all the people equally. In actual practice the Social
list propaganda that is being carried on In this country
is exactly the reverse. The principle upon which the
actual operation is based is that the people shall keep
mum and do as they are told They are expected to
read, think and act only as instructed by certain per-
sons who have appointed themselves overlords Of the
common herd.
1t is on this theory that the Socialist managers in
this state have proceeded. using the Nonpartisan lea e,,e
As the means wherewith to carry out their program
Members Of that organization have had it dinned into
their ears that they must read nothing and believe moth
ing OF a political nature which does not emanate from
league Headquarters. or which has not the approval of
nc league managers. Efforts have been made to stop
the circulation among league members Of all newspa-
pers winch dared to express disapproval Of either, the
acts Of the leaders or the program which they put forth.
Members Of the league have been urged not to attend
political meetings except those held under league au-
spices. The theory has been, and is, that the people
are not to be trusted; that they are incapable Of doing
their own thinking and forming their own conclusions.

THE HUDSON'S BAY RAILROAD

Work on the Hudson's Bay railroad was suspended
on October / for tho remainder Of the war, this being
IN accordance with the decision Of the Canadian govern
mont announced some weeks ago. For many years
northwestern people have felt a keen interest in the
construction Of a road which would connect the great
grain fields Of the territory on both sides of the line
with the Atlantic by way Of Hudson's bay. Various rail
and rail-and-water routes were proposed and abandoned,
and at length a route for a railroad was decided on and
work was actually commenced. This work has been in
progress for several years. and had it not been for de-
lays caused by the war a considerable part Of the sur

has been suspended partly on account Of shortage Of

for tho war. and everything else must be subordinAted.
There being no prospect that there will be any i'm

BEATING OUT GERMAN
PIRACY
(To be Continued)
(From Minneapolis Tribune

:
American shipyards turned out a
new tonnage OF 340,145 tons, repre-
sented in &c vessels, in August. Brit
ish yards contributed 295,911 dead
weight tons of shipping in June, hold
ing the worlds record for a month
until the achievement OF American
builders just announced.
At this rate of building the United
States and Great Britain alone could
turn out yer 100000 lightweight
tons in a year. To this would be add
ed the output Of other countries,
whatever it might be.
For the first six months Of this
year the sinkings. Allied and neutral,
aggregated 2,089,393 gross tons. Dur
ing that period gross production was
only $4,000 tons in eXces of losses,
but American ~shipbuilding energies
were not speeded up then as they are
now.
Meantime the United States has
landed 100000 men in France for
war business, and the Allied coun-
tries have been comfortably provi-

Earnest Cooperation Needed.

Remember, that the recipes which
are being given here, and those which
you VIII find in other places, are
merely suggestive. They show what
can be done. But recipes alone will
not solve the problem. Winning this
war by food will not be possible unless
you give to the matter your earnest
and sincere thought and cooperation.
Inc problem is for you to reduce by
one-third the amount of wheat you
nave been using. How it can best be
done In your household is for you to
decide. But see that It is done.
Below are some tried recipes for war
bread which may be found interesting
and useful When liquid yeast is used,

one cake of dry or compressed yeast,
and a slight reduction must be made in
the total amount of liquid used.
