"But when you give, something of your heart something of your soul, something of yourself goes with the gift, particularly when it is given in such form that it never can come back by way of direct benefit to yourself.

 But behind all this grim purpose, my friends, lies the opportunity to demonstrate not only force, which will be demonstrated to the utmost but the opportunity to demonstrate character, and it is that opportunity that we have most conspicuously in the work of the Red Cross. Not that our men in arms do not represent our character, for they do, and it is q character which those who see and realize appreciate and admire, but their duty is the duty of force. The duty of the Red Cross is the duty of mercy and succor and friendship.

GERMAN WORKERS DON'T REBEL

"Once more the German working clas in this threatening hour has shown itself insuf1iciently determin- ed to stay the strong hand of its own militarism," says a proclamation is- sued by the Russian Bolsheviki. It shows that the Bolsheviki staked ev- erything on that contingency-that the German "protetariat," if Russia were invaded, would rise in rebellion against the kaiser.
 The chances are about ninety to ten that there will be no revolution in Germany during the present war. The allied countries which consider an uprising as one of the possibilities of the future honestly doubt that there will be any such eventuality. or course, they are maneuvering to bring about an upheaval against the house of Hohenzollern as one means of conducting warfare, just as the Germans are spreading their propa- ganda among the entente peoples. But, unlike the Bolsheviki, they have not demobilized their armies in the fatuous expectation that the masses of Germany would lay down their arms and welcome them with the cry "Kamerad!"
 After all, the distinction made be- tween the German autocrats and the German peoples is rather shadowy. Our pretense that we are fighting the kaiser and not his subjects is at best theoretical. The German people have been infused with the virus of mili- tarism and schooled in the doctrines of Bernhardi and Treitschke and the "blood and iron" ideals of Bismarck so long that they cannot. in the az gregate, visualize liberty as it is painted by President Wilson. Mira beau, the Frenchman, said more than a century ago that war in Prussia is a national industry" It has been an industry so many decades that a revo- lution in psychology as we'll as in pol itics is necessary to change essentially the German makeup.
 The Bolsheviki apparently have not taken into consideration the further obvious fact that the German work

the senate military committee, point sd out certain desirable results of the
 controversy. The ban of secrecy has
 been removed from contracts, compeS titive bidding has been restored; the
 Overman bill, looking to a reorgani-
 zation of war management, has been
 introduced; the ordnance bureau and the auartermaster' corps have been
 reorganized; five new supply bureaus have been established; a surveyor of purchasers has been appointed and the war departments war council has been formed. Probably the greatest benefit comes from the fact that the searchlight of publicity has been turned on the war department, thus showing that the highest efficiency in the government service is demanded.
 It is reported from the capitol that the move for a war cabinet and di- rector of munitions probably will be in consequence of the compromise between the president and his critics. No desire to hamper the president in his management of the war has been evinced and if the reorganization accomplishes| it's aim the controversy will be drop ped in spite of a widespread feeling that the present secretary of war does mt measure m to the requirements of the post for an administrator.
 The supreme object now is to win the war and we believe the entire regardless of politics, will continue to stand behind the presi- dent so long as the war is conducted on a high plane of efficiency.

COMPROMISE IN PROSPECT

Washington reports that tentative compromise between President Will son and his opponents on legislation for further coordination and re-or- ganization of the governments war making agencies has been reached. The Overman bill, originally design ed to place dictatorial powers in the hands of the president, will be shorn of certain provisions objectionable to one faction in congress, but will re- tain clauses authorizing the president to transfer departments, bureaus and commissions in such way as he deems necessary to more effective co-ordina- tion of efforts.
 If serious breach between the exc cutive and legislative departments can thus be avoided, the net results of the compromise will be applauded assuming, of course, that the ef- feet of the presidents reorganization plan eliminates the defects in the present war organization.
 The controversy arising from the Chamberlain charges against the war department has resulted, all honest observers at Washington agree, in changes beneficial to the war making agency of the government. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska. a member of

LIVES OF TWO
 BY MEANS OF NET

w. A. Phillips, for three and one
 half years in charge of a lighthouse on Unimak island, is staying at the Alaskan hotel.
 MT. Phillips is an old time Alaskan and a former resident of COrdova.
 His experiences at his lonely station,
 isolated from the outside world, read like an adventure story. When Phil
 lips first went to Scotch Cap station the keeper was Charley Loucks, at one time keeper at Whiteshed. Loucks became i'll of heart trouble and dis tress signal was shown. A fishing boat equipped with wireless, passed the word to the cutter Manning. In time the Manning appeared and sent a boat ashore containing a doctor and four sailors. The sea was perfectly calm when the boat arrived at the station. When the doctor and crew started on the return trip taking the sick man with them heavy sea was running and within hundred feet of shore, the boat swamped, drowning Loucks, the doctor and two sailors. Two men were saved thru the hero ism of Rosenberg, half-breed, who is assistant at the lighthouse. He ran to the storehouse and obtained fish net. After securing the shore end, he ran out as far as possible in the wake of the receding seas and threw the net. After four attempts in which he almost lost his own life, two of the sailors were dragged ashore. None of the bodies were recovered but about three weeks later leg upon which there was a tan shoe was washed up on the beach.
 . The mail reaches these stations about four times a year. There is no wireless and the total population of the island consists of the two light house crews of three men each.
 Trout are to be had in abundance in the small streams on the island and the caribou are so plentiful that there is no lack of fresh meat.
 MT. Phillips Is on his vacation to which each lighthouse keeper is en- titled after three years service.-Cor- dova Times.
