REHABILITATION OF OUR
 SOLDIERS

The United States Government is not going to be content with merely reeducating and rehabiliating its soldiers who have been disabled by wounds, and fitting them for useful gainful occupations; it is not going to leave them to shift for themselves, but will exert an active continuing in- terest in their welfare.
 This does not mean that the Govern ment is to coddle them or treat them as an active interest in securing them work, and in other ways endeavor to make up to them the opportunities and advantages they lost by reason of wounds received in fighting for their country's battles.

YOUNG INSTRUCTORS TEACH ENGLISH BY
 MEANS OF CANNING
 DEMONSTRATIONS

Boy and girl club members who speak foreign languages are being taught by the extension workers of the United States Department of Agri. culture and the State Agriculture col leges to give canning and drying dem- onstrations to foreign-speaking people in their communities. These young teachers are taught in teams of three. They give the demonstrations to au- diences first in English and then in the foreign language. This is for the purpose of educating the foreign speaking people in English. It is the aim of the extension workers in the B Northern and Western States to have a trained team of volunteer mem bers to give canning and drying dem onstrations wherever there is suf- icient number of foreign-speaking people to warrant it.

WAR OF REVENGE,
 SAYS PAN-GERMAN

The present war is a "war of re- venge" long desired by the pan-Ger- mans, writes Kurd yon Stranz, pan German leader, in a book entitled "Our National Goal" published in Germany. German newspapers re- ceived here says the New York Times quote the author as saying:
 "In my boyhood days the German war of retaliation, as we must name this world war more correctly, was the dream of my life, the realization of which have never despaired of, al. though did doubt that would live to see it in view of the unfortunate peace policy followed by the post Bismarckian administration.
 But have lived to enjoy that hap piness. By word and letter I have fought for this war of revenge which finally is to restore our old national and political frontiers which we had gradually lost in the East and West since 1852. Neither 1915 nor 1871 re- stored those frontiers.
 Bismarck started our national rise but he did not complete it. His dis charge impeded the victory-promising course, as his successor gave half of German Africa senselessly without any compensation to our new arch-enemy, England. Herewith began the descent which only this world war could ar rest and which longed for and fore saw when such thoughts were unpop- ular.
 The Berlin Vorwaerts says that the entire enemy world will learn of this confession with great satisfaction and adds: If Herr Von Stranz has been paid for his book by enemy agents he could not have better worked into the hands of the enemy countries. The book, says the Vorwaerts, is proof of the criminal activities of cer- tain PanGerman circles which now openly boast that they had longed for this war as their greatest happiness.

REPUBLICANS WILL
Be STERNLY OPPOSED
BY Democratic Senators In Any
"So-caIIed Reconstruction"

Washington. Nov. FOLLOWING
lengthy conference at the White
House last night between President
Wilson and leading Democratic SEN
ators. it was learned today that the
so-called reconstruction" program
of the Republicans will meet with
stern opposition. The chief execu-
tive is understood to have Informed
the conferees that until the peace
meetings are actually completed any
change in method might prove dis
astrous. AS result 1t is expected
that an effort will be made to con-
tinue the War Trade Board and ag
encies of that character as at pres
emit, and that there will be no re-
construction committee named to
recommend legislation changing ex-
listing methods.
The president will outline his rea-
sons for such action in his usual
message to congress which will be
delivered at the opening Of the shor
session the first week in December.
