tions bred trouble. The colonial cabildo,
even when alberto, seating representative
and influential citizens along with the
alcaldes or justices and the regidores or
aldermen, was an instrument Of popular
government not to be compared, except
for contrast, with the North American
Legislatures. Probably this difference is
the one fact that shines most helpfully of
all on the patti of investigation into the
two histories as examples of successful
political revolution.
Aristocrats in Feud.
The factors that carry most weight in
the academic mind are. not those that
most attract the non-academic reader. The
details of SPANS oppressive monopoly,
the schedules of taxation, and fiscal gov
eminent, do not so intrigue the attention
of the ordinary citizen as the opposition
between the Creole aristocracy-every one
Of these seven hberators was a Creole
and the Peninsular favorites of the royal
Government beyond the salt seas. And
another interesting factor is the foment-
ing force of the prohibited books that
found considerable clandestine circulation
among the Latin American maleantents-
Rousseau, Montesquieu, Diderot, Hume,
De Foe. Repression, as always, nour-
ished rebellion.
Jesuit exiles, hating the royal author
ity, strove to undermine it "A letter to
Spanish Americans by one of their COM
patriots" flowed from the pen of Father
Juan Pablo Viscardo y Guzman. Prof.
Robertson compares it to Jefferson's
Summary View Of the Rights of British
America" Hear Father Juan:
A Reverend Patrick Henry.
"Our distance from Spain, which pro-
claims our independence, is less siguif-
cant than the difference in interests. We
imperatlsely need government in our
midst for the distribution of benefits, the
object of the social union. To depend
upon q Government two or three thou
sand leagues [siel distant is to renouncs
these benefits; for such is the policy Of
the court of Spain that it sspires only to
give us laws which monopolize our COM
merce, our industry, our property and
our persons, and which sacrifice them to
her ambition, her pride and her avariee.
In fine, in whatever aspect our
dependence upon Spain is considered,
one win see that every obligation impels
Us to terminate it."
The reverend father moved swiftly and
with sure stride from the abstract prin-
eiple to its particular application.

seven brothers are based upon careful re-

1turbide,. Mariana Moreno, Jose de San

Prof. Robertson's excellent volume, Rise
of the Spdnish-4merican Republics as
Told in the Lires Of Their Liberdtors.
Seven Against Spain, Seven Champions
of Liberty.
That title arouses some distrust. The
book dispels it. You cannot tell whether
the volume will prove to tell one story,
the rise of the republics, or seven stories,
the lives of the iberators, but you are
sceptieal Of finding the two promises kept
as one. To us they seem to be. The
book is biography, the book is history;
the final impression being, however,
rather more that which is left by biog-
raphy than that which history stamps on
the mind. There is much more about tn.
personalities of the leaders than about
the fortunes of the peoples whose fates
they helped to mould. But the signif-
cant fact about this substantial book is
that it is loaded right up to the plimsoIl
mark with information about the devel-
opment of republican institutions in
Spanish America.

POSTAL SYSTEM IN DISARRAY
German Government at Its Wits End
to Stop Thievery From the
Goods in Transit

Extraordinary steps have been taken
by the German government to call a
halt to the thieves within the postal
system. It was claimed that out Of
ten parcels sent three would disap-
pear. Packages to soldiers at the
front containing food, delicacies and
clothing would disappear more fire.
quently than any other shipments. All
appeals to the patriotic spirit Of the
thieves were of no avail. The per-
centage of thefts increased steadily.
Finally the government was compelled
to take drastic and systematic meas
ures. The military branch was called
in and stations of control manned by
on-commissioned officers and soldiers
were planted at principal railroad
points In the empire. The employ
ment of mere youths is blamed for
the deterioration of the postal service.
Practically all the employees of mill
tary age had to join the army and
their places were filed by boys and
girls. Besides, the scarcity of food
tempts many to steal.

VERMIN ATTRACTED BY FOOD
If No Scraps Are Around There VIII
Be Little Trouble With Ants or
Reaches.

The surest way to keep house free
from ants is to leave no food lying
about on shelves or In open places,
where they can reach 1t. Ants go
where they find food, and If the food
supplies of the household are kept in
ant-prOof metal containers or In ice
boxes, and if all foods that may hap
pen to be scattered by children or 9TH
ers Is cleaned up promptly, the ant
nuisance will be slight. Cake, bread,
sugar, meat, and like substances, are
especially attractive to the ants, and
should be kept from them.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some valuable food
material and if such materials can
be kept from living rooms and offices
or scrupulous care exercised to see
that no such material Is placed in
drawers where it can leave an attrac-
tive odor or fragments of food, the
roach nuisance can be largely restrict-
ed, to places where food necessarily
must be kept.

the Most Unintelliaent.

This weeks story from the front:
A certain company sergeant major
was not popular with his men. They
accused him Of having cold feet.
One day the company went into a
rest camp 20 miles behind the firing
line, where 1t was an imposslbility any
shells could reach them. The ground,
however, was very waterlogged, and q
fatigue party was detailed to dig a
drainage trench.
Presently a sergeant happened to
pass that way.
"What are you digging there?" he
shouted to the corporal in charge Of
the job.
A grimy face, from which the sweat
was pouring, popped up from the
trench. It belonged to one of the SER
geant majors most persistent and re-
lentless adversaries.

by the Mexican officials under an ar

man shots at them were fired from

General Gales, after the exchange

can Consuls, in which he declared that
the first shots fired were from the
rifles of American negro soldiers on
the line. To this, through the same
means of communication, General Ca
bell replied that he had no negro
troops on the line; that shots from
the Mexican side were fired first,
wounding one American soldier, and
that other soldiers, going to his aid,
fired in self-defense only when further
shots were fired at them. In conclud-
ing his statement to General Gales,
General Cabell said:
IF another volley is fired by your
people will take every man ishavc

Remember,

When the war is over, no excuse will
go.
Either you were in 1t or you were
not.
Either you shouldered your gun,
served in the trenches, or the Young
Mems Christian association, the Red
Cross or in some place where the door
was opened, or else you did nothing.
If you could not serve, you could
send your boys with a Godspeed, as
they marched out to the front. To
hold them back stamped them as slack
ers.
Either you strained your resources
to buy Liberty bonds or you forgot
your obligation to those who fought
and died for your flag.
Disqualification for active service is
no justification for forgetting the boys
behind the guns who sacrificed all
thought of gain and were willing to
sacrifice their lives at their country's
call.-Leslies.

"Orion" Type of Stars.

The youngest stars of which we
have knowledge are the "Orion" type
of stars. The constellation of Orion
is composed mainly Of them, as well
as parts Of Taurus, the Pleiades, and
parts of Perseus. In color, they are
much like the Sirius type, blush white,
and brilliant, but spectroscope at
once detects the difference between
them. Stars like Sirius and Vega
are surrounded by hydrogen gas, but
the Orion stars have no hydrogen, and
are made Of helium and nebula. They
often have great volumes of fine nehu-
la dust about them. showing that they
re still in the process of condensing
