A young Canadian officer, who had
lived for years in China, was deputed
to take to France for service behind
the lines company of Chinese cool
les. On the ocean voyage over, which
was a turbulent one, row developed
between the coolies and the Canton
csc cooks, and the coolies decided to
kill the cooks. Hearing of it the
Canadian called in several of the cool
les and told them that if they killed
the cooks they would have nothing to
eat until they reached France. "Whats
the matter?" asked the Canadian of
the coolie ringleader. "Isn't the food
good?" Yes, the food was good. Isn't
there enough food?" Yes, there was
plenty of food "Isn't it well cooked?"
Yes, it was we'll cooked. "Well, then,
what is the matter? What do you
want to kill the cooks for?" "Well,"
replied the coolie, 1--WE don't know ex-
actly why, but somehow or other the
food won't stay down"

CURRENT COMMENT.

THE death of Senator W. j. Stone
of Missouri last week removes a
great character in western politics
Senator Stone came in for much crit
icism over his stand with LaFollette
in the senate few years ago. He
passed away under cloud, as it were.
Had he lived he might have been able
to show to the world that he was
patriot, but his chance has passed
and many people will hereafter look
upon him as one who failed to do his
duty in crisis.

Always pull the leaves off the stalks
Of flowers before putting them in wa
ter-those leaves which would be in

A MERlCA is warned by an Ameri-
can aviator who has "been there
that it is up against the wickedest
and most powerful force of organized
evil the world has ever witnessed.
This contest, he declares, will test us
TO the breaking point, finish fight
of good versus evil, with no holds
barred; no blows are foul in this fight
with the masters of evil who have def
nitely set morals, honor and good
faith on one side. 1t is a fight that
will tax every grain of sand and every
ounce of Americas fighting power So
true is this word from "over there"
that no American not a fool will ig-
more or dispute it. How nearly the
French and British were split apart
in the last battle we do not yet know;
or how near the Germans may have
been to getting in behind the Ypres
salient, turning the British and captur-
ing quarter of million of their
army. How nearly defeat on the west
ern front, in other words, was escaped
or yet will be escaped. Defeat is yet
a possibility, though rapidly warning
possibility, of the British and French.
But regardless how the battle goes,
the war goes on, it cannot end unless
the morale of the free nations of the
world breaks down, until it ends by
the surrender of German arms and by
the dictation of peace to the German
people, which terms they will accept
because they have no alternative.
After the failure of the present Ger
man offensive there will be furious
German peace propaganda to contend
against. Not the slightest attention
should be paid to talk Of peace, for
the only peace that can ever justify |
the present frightful war brought on
by criminal Germany against the civ
ilized world is peace concerning the

German Situation Serious.

country, Mr.. Nordvan stated, but in
greatly lessened quantity.
According to the terms of the
agreement, Sweden's acceptance of
any commodity from allied govern-
ments acts as an embargo on the
same commodity produced in Sweden.
II sweden receives wheat from the
United States, for insta nee, she binds
herself not to sell any of her home
grown wheat to any of the central
powers or any neutrals.
According to Mr. Nordvan, the a.
100000 tons of iron ore which Sweden
agrees to sell to the allies is merely
the first installment OF what the sig
natories have decided is "a fair pro-
portion of Sweden's entire iron ore
export" Many more million tons will
be available later, it is understood.
(Sweden's output of iron ore in 1915
was 6,sS6,29S tons, according to the
Statesman's Year Book. OF which g.
$40. 900 tons were exported, the greater
part going to Germany
