ENJOY TIER WALRUS FEAST
Eskimos Have Solid Repast When Ono

Among the Smith Sound tribe of
northernmOst Greenland the fayorIte

Green in Popular Mechanics Magazine.
When one of these animals has
been harpooned and, after a struggle,
sometimes lasting many hours, is fin
ally dispatched, his 2,0O0-pound car
cass is towed TO the ice edge and
hauled out for butchery.
Shoulders, flippers, and sections Of
the trunk are buried under a pile of
stones to guard against the depreda-
tons Of thieying foxes. EntraiIs are
raked out and fed to the furnished
wolves which form North Greenland
dog teams.

were handed out a cup of sloppy cof-
fee. We are all wrong. These Red
Cross places beat a New York hotel

GRATIFYING WORDS.

1t sounds good to hear
French and English officers on
duty at Camp Lewis say the
American army, when it is
trained, will be the finest body
of fighting men under the sun.
1t pleases because the for
eign officers have been in the
war and they know something
of war material when they see
it.
They are here to help train
American troops, not to flatter
them.
Because we believe that the
average American is higher
type than the average citizen of
any other country. We have al
ways contended that American
SoldlefS, properly trained, are
better than any other soldiers.
Americans do not believe this
because they are self-satisfied
and confident.
They base their contention
on a hundred and fifty years
of history and on the unpreju-
diced decision of observers
from other nations.
The kaiser is the only man
who has expressed adverse
criticism Of the potential abil-
ity of an American army, and
his opinion is subject to early
revision.

FUEL SUPPLY SHORT.

The fuel supply is short and
cars to bring in additional coal
and wood are scarce.
The same reports come from
every section of the country.
The war has called for such gi-
gantic work that the ordinary
channels of trade are thrown
out of gear.
If the people Of the nation
are to keep warm this winter,
they must be saving with the
fuel they burn.
The less fuel consumed the
more freight cars viii be avail
able to ship munitions toWard
France, and the more coal will
be available for plants that are
making arms of warfare for
our soldiers.-Tacoma News.

tria land Switzerland to Am
erica's side.
Perhaps the most startling
attempt of any-though not SO
labelled-was the presidents
message to congress. In this,
the president sought to wean
Austria from the German side,
as officials viewed it today,
while at the same time he APP
pealed to German liberals to
overturn Hohenzollernism.
The government has enlisted
the aid of banished Germans in
Switzerland, men who favor a
republic, to help spread this
doctrine into Germany, while
as in the past allied filters will
drop copies in German over the
IeutOn trenches.
With the Russian situation.
the administration has diff
Guilty in communication, mas
much as the Bolsheviki control
the main arteries out of Mos
COW and Petrograd. However,
constant news matter showing
the American viewpoint is be-
ing sent to Russia via France,
and is being distributed as best
it may. The American military
attaches, apparently acting I'M
der Ambassador Francis indi-
VlduaI instructions have under

boomerang results.

PROPAGANDA OF TRUTH.

The United States is using a
new and subtle weapon in war
ring against Germany-a pro
pa"anda of truth.
Nightly, there is a battle in
the Aria struggle of huge
wireless apparatus, centering
at Sayvillo, L. l., Nauen, Ger
many, and Lyons, France,
while at the same time cables
buzz WITH messages intended
for foreign consumption.
Formerly, it was the Nauen
station that spread misleading
propaganda as to Teuton pur-
poses. Now, the Sayville sta
ton undor American control is
shooting forth truthful mes
sa@ps to offset this insidious
matter, sending to France for
relay to Russia and elsewhere.
Finding that Germany was
mountaineering all the allies
and the United States in malic-
iOus propaganda, this govern
ment determined on a definite
campaign of education, and to
date has labored chiefly in con-

DO THEY SEE THE LIGHT?

The presidents message has
had the desired effect in at
least one particular. The Ger
man press is now ready to adj
init that they have a mighty
foe in the United States, one
that is preparing to see the
fight through to the bitter end.
AS one paper put it: "They
1.-THE American people) support
him president Wilson, even
when he asks congress to de-
clare war on Germany's allies
IN order to help Italy. They
will grant him more men and
more money to continue the
war, and only when we Ger
many are victorious in Eur
ope will war enthusiasm in the
United States weaken" This
is far cry from the arrogant
claim Of three years standing
that America would not fight
III defense of her rights At
last they have acquired a
wholesome respect for our abil-
lty and a fair appreciation of
our intentions. !
But the German press errs
III this particular: eff by any
chance, the enemy succeeds in
conquering Europe, America
will not weaken. Then she will
fight as she never fought be-
fore. Not for the establishment
OF Anglo-SaXon supremacy, as
the war lords would have their
benl@htcd people believe, but
for the establishment of Amer
lean ideals. There will be no
supreme contest for racial SUI
premacy unless the Prussians
are able to ride rough-shod
over our European allies and
'-seafsrr4vIfssp America to finish
fight. Then they will find, as
every other people have found
who persisted in forcing the is
sue of the survival of the fit
test, that upon whatever soil
the Anglo-SaXon sets his foot,
Of that soil he becomes the mas
ter or there finds his grave. :"
1t is to be hoped, however, that
long before such an issue arises
the German people will have
become disabused of their fears
and realize that America has
no desire to destroy their race
or appropriate their father
land.
