EXPECT TO STAY IN FRANCE
FOR SOME TIME

Writing under date of December
8, from Headquarters 311th American
Train. A. P. o. 778, in France, Capt.
Roy Woodruff says his organization
has been ordered back to the States,
but that he probably will remain
there to fill some position which as
yet he cannot state for certainty.
If he is transferred to one of the po-
sitions that have been suggested to
him, he says he will be in France for
several months.
He says he is learning to speak
French, and hopes to be able to speak
it fiuently before he returns home.
A letter received from Mr.. Wood
ruff this week says that he has been
transferred to the Central Record
Office, and after remaining there a
while he understands he is to be sent
with one of the divisions in the Army
of Occupation in Germany, which Is
very gratifying to him. At present
his address is A. p. o. 902, American

PAS OLD UNIFORM

Representative Norman j. Gould,
Of New York, has introduced bill to
permit all non-commissioned officers
and enlisted men to retain as, their
personal property, without cost to
them, whatever clothing they may
have in their possession at the time
Of their discharge. This goes the
War Department one better, for the
department has recently ruled that
they may retain their uniforms for
four months after discharge, when
those uniforms must be turned in.
There is good deal of sentiment at
tached by the soldier to the uniform
he wore in battle. AS he grows old
he likes to take it from its cedar box
or camphor ball wrappings, show it to
the kids, or his friends, and fight his
battles over again. Who has not seen
the veteran of the Civil War gaze
lovingly on the uniform he wore at
Gettysburg, Antietam, or Bull Run ?
An instance is recalled of an old Con-
federate veteran who came to Rich
mond to attend reunion there some
years ago. He brought his old gray
uniform with him, and when he I'M
packed it to don for the parade, what
was his horror to find sizable moth
hole in the shoulder of the coat. He
positively refused to wear it for fear
someone might remark he had been
shot in the back by Yank. The re-
turn of uniform to the Government
after four months is picayune rule.
It would promptly go into storage and
remain until the moths and mice had
chewed it to tatters. AS a memento
Of the war it would serve high pur-
pose. Should not Gould's little bill
go through unhindered

It must shame the face of avery
true American to imagine the senti-
ments of the French when they heard
those words fall from the lips Of a
President of the United States. Two
long years after the shameful ruin
and cruel and unnecessary sufferings"
had "filled our hearts with indigna-
ton" Mr.. Wilson allowed himself to
go before the people on a platform
of "He kept us out of war" He is in
the White House now, and owes his
triumphal reception in Paris priinar-
lily to that hypocritical phrase. What
a mockery to stand before his French
hosts and assure them of his sympa-
thy for their sufferings;

The London Times medical CORES
pendent says that throughout the
world about 100000 persons perish
ed from influenza and pneumonia dur
ing the past three months. 1t has
been estimated that the war caused the
death of 20,000,000 persons in four
and half years: Thus, the correspon-
dent point out, influenza has proved
itself FIVE times deadlier than war
because in the same period of its cpl
demic rate influenza would have kill
ed 100 millions. Never since the
Black Death has such plague swept
over the world, he says, adding that
the need of new survey Of public
health is forcibly illustrated.

STAIN 1T WITH
HYPOCRITIC TEAR"

The phrase "He kept us out of war;
did yeoman service in keeping Mr..
Wilson in the White House, and in the
last campaign was widely referred to
by his opponents in demonstrating the
innate hypocrisy of the man. Tenn
porarily it has been laid on the shelf
until once more the voters of the
country are called upon to pass judg-
ment upon their President. Mr..
Wilson's unctuous phrases in which
he assures Parisians, of his sentiments
for the sufferings Of their country and
Belgium which impelled US into the
war recall his campaign slogan Of
1916 very wildly to mind.
The other evening in Paris Mr.. Will
son uttered the following words:
81 beg that you will not suppose
that because wide ocean separated
us in space we were not in effect eye
witnesses of the shameful ruin that
was wrought and the cruel and unnec-
essary sufferings. that were brought
upon you. These sufferings have fill
ed our hearts with indignation. We
know not only what they were, but
we know what they signified, and our
hearts were touched to the quick by
them, our imaginations filed with the
whole picture of what France and Bel
GUM in particular had experienced.
when the United States entered
the war, therefore, they entered it not
only because they were moved by q
conviction that the purposes of the
Central Empires were wrong and must
be resisted by men everywhere who
loved liberty and the right, but also
because the Illicit ambitions which
they were entertaining and attempt
ing to realize had led to the practices
which shocked our hearts as much as
they offended our principles."

THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Kari MMarx,
IS IT YOURS?
MAY 5. 1878.

Karl Marx. misnamed as the foun-
der OF socialism, but certainly one of
the earlier leaders in the modern form
Of this creed. vas born in Rhenish
Prussia In 1915. He intended to be-
come a lecturer. but while attendip :
the university in Berlin he got in with
a radical set. followers OF Hegel. His
views became so extreme that the
would have none of him.
His life is interesting simply because
socialism has become such great
question today. In some form or other
it has always existed. with no known
person as it's founder-sociaiist prin-
ciples are found in the writings OF
Plato. Its aims are a more even distri-
button OF wealth and a share of the
worker in the ultimate profits. and II is
not to be confused with the bolshevism
now threatening the world.
Marx, however, advocated class
revolution, and for some Of his mere
radical atterances was asked 10 leave
Germany. An attempt to take up resi-
dence in France brought similar re-
quest and he ended his days in Eng
land, where he died in 1888. He was
really great scholar and scientist
and it seemed pity that his life should
have ben passed in great poverty. His
greatest contribution was a book on
capital, Of which ne wrote a part. and
which was finished by his co-worker
from rough notes left when he died. Its
theory of the downtrodden working
man applied better to social conditions
in his day than to the present.

ROAD COSTS FALSEHOODS
Sioux City Journal1

Road Engineer F. r. White. Of the
Iowa State College at Ames. refutcs
some of the exaggerated statements
and conclusions which, while based on
truths. are yet false, concerning the
cost to farmers of hard roads under
the road bill pending in the general
assembly. The original statement was
that hard surfaced roads will cost
$4,000 per mile. This is based on the
cost of a seed mile of the Lincoln
Highway constructed last year in Linn
county. That mile did cost near the
amount indicated. But it was buif
under war conditions and when the
county was forced to pay almost any
construction price or lose the cement
which had been donated BY the Lincoln
Highway Association. Two bidders
one believed to be fictitious, bid on the
work. so there was no actual COMPETE
ton. Gravel had to be procured at
extra cost from long distances in order
TO get the work done before winter.

figures on the cost of highway con-
