The train of Emperor William has

that makes for efficiency is provided,
including a library car, on the walls Of
which hang hundreds of military maps.

The special train that the car of
Russia used to travel in with it's -
cars providing apartments for the czar,
ms suite and guard. real Russian
bath. kitchen and a chapel and all the
comforts of palace. was formerly the
most elaborate owned by any Euro
pean ruler.
The train of the president of the
French republic although not the most
luxurious of the official trains of Eu-
rope, has perhaps the most interestins,
history OF them all. 1t has figured in
more important political events than
any of the others, and was carried at
some time nearly all Of the great men
of the world
President Faure ordered the train
hurriedly built, in the autumn of 1896
- 49, p''PoSS VI yiHS To I'aTlS
the ear of Russia, whose visit at that
Time cemented the alliance between
France and Russia. The whole train
was built in IL days So hastily was
the private personal car built that not
until the tenth day did it occur to any
one that the ezar might wish to take
bath. SO the roof of the car was
promptly cut open and a space made
large enough to allow the lowering of
a huge silver bath tub into a corner
Of the car. The tub is there after all
these years, and so Is the patch in the
car roof. The train has It's own special
shed at Nilleneuve st. Georges, some
miles out of Paris.
one OF the most important trips since
the war began occurred in October,
1915. when il conveyed the king of
England to the French front. where he
reviewed i'm company with President
foincare $4,000 OF the troops that had
taken part in the battle of Champagne.
Unlike the imperial trains, the
French presidents train Is not armored
and 1t has no protection whatever
against bullets and shells. 1t was built
at time when no one thought that
necessary. The four cars are elabo-
rately upholstered in red and yellow
silk Velvets and are of wood.

Some Real Americans"
Hold Seats in Senate

Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas is
none OF the four men of Indian blood
VINO nave worn the senatorial toga.
The first statesman with aboriginal
blood III his veins to attain prominence
In the upper branch of Uncle Sans
parliament was John Randolph the
brilliant Nirginian. who served 80 years
In the house and two terms in the
senate. He claimed descent from
Pocahontas. The next descendant of
the real Americans" to enter the
senate was John A. Logan. the Illinois
soldier and statesman. Mr.. Curtis was
the next Indian to take his seat in the
senate. and he was soon followed by
Robert l.. Owen OF Oklahoma,
Americans have every reason to be
proud Of the Indian representa- ton in
the senate. Randolph was one of the
most eloquent of the early senators.
1t is said of him that he was an Ish
maeiite-"his hand against every
mans, and every mans hand against
him'-but the bitterest Of his enemies
could not deny his ability nor his hon
esty. Logan was a great soldier and
and able statesman. and 1t was he who
initiated the observance Of Decoration

Inventors Are Trying
to Help Win the War

One of the busiest places in the world
lust now is the United States patent
office. where thousands of inventors
are striving to show the governm mt
lust how the war can be won. Secre-
tary Daniels of the navy has 10000
senarate suggestions along this lie
and Secretary Baker of the army long
since lost count. Some of them are
hi"hly interesting.
There was an Ohio man who advised
that millions OF potato bugs re
sprinkled over Germany from aero
Names. This suggestion is not half so
futile as II might SEEM Germany got
the potato from America and 1t has
been her mainstay in this war. Then
whV should we not send American
notato bugs to destroy the German
vines and so starve the foe?
Another man hit upon a method Of
guarding London against air raids. He
"avocated that thousands Of tiny bal
mons, each carry several ounces OF
high explosives. be suspended above
the city by means of strings. The
moment that a bold Zeppelin raider
or aeronaut ran into this barraee he
would set off the explosives and be
dashed to pieces. And no one can say
that the idea is not LOGICAL 1t is based
nnon the same principle as mining a

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 6, 1918.
WHEN VICTORY LIES?

We offer to our readers for re-
Election few statistics; not be-
cause they ire new. or more time
" now than six months ago. but
for reference when some of us are
inclined to linger too long III the
caves OF gloom. Engaged on one
side in this war are the entente
allies, Great Brain. including her
colonies, France, Italy, Japan,
Russia, China, siam, Portugal, the
United tates, and q few minor
countries. On the other side are
the Tcntonic allies, Germany.
Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria.
The population Of the entente al
lies is 473.25O,OOO and Of the Tcu-
tonic, ii7,OOO,OW. The entente
have in the army and navy
81 100000 fighting men and the
opponents have 100000, or, re-
dnced to percentage. the total
men engaged are GO per cent en-
tente and "a per cent Tcutonic.
OF the otal man power, that Of
the entente is 0i.7OO,OOO and OF
the Tentonic, 25.O5O,O0O. or 1873
percent, against 2i.5.
The total national debt OF the
entente Is 49,, 1900, 100000 or TAT
per cent Of heir wealth. while
that OF the Teutonic is S3S,5O0,-
100000 or 2S.7 per cent. The total
entente income is SS2, iOO.OM,NW
and the Teutonic 100000 100000.
We know that since the begin
ming Of the war, the loss Of the
entente allies is Q per cent Of
their original man power, while
tina of the central powers is 20
per cent. -
Can anyone doubt the result Of
this war If it goes to the finish?
Is il possible for the central
powers to defeat this staggering
prcponderance Of men, money
and resources?
Yes, it is possible but in one
way alone. If the fighting spirit
Of the allies can be destroyed by
division, drsscnsion, revolution,
the breakdown Of the nations
morale, then Germany can win.
The war can have but one end If
We keep the strength that is with
in us.
But, It is asked, why is Ger
many not being beaten? Why is
ii that she alone ii fighting on
conquered territory?
The answer is that Germany
entered the war in the most mar
yelous state Of preparedness CON
ceivable. Her people were united
to the last man; she was ideally
conditioned for the war. Yet she
failed because there was at least
one great source of strength
ready TO THE last shoe lace. That
was the British navy. But for
the men who have made England
terrible at sea, Germany today
would have had the world in her

war to discuss any form Of peace
save that which would make The
world safe for democracy for all
