A phrase, born OF many sudden

English speaking nations have us

Such sudden shifts of power touch

holders are directly affected.
Deep vital currents of human life

ordinary words or phrases used in
uncertain senses. Some examples of
slang are: "You are green," "Can

Slang has some good points. If a
person is talented in the use Of it, it
makes him very attractive. But there
are some persons who can not use
slang because it does not suit them.
It is very expressive in some persons.
Young students are fond of using it..
Slang, on the other hand, has some
bad points. 1t usually originates
with the lower classes of people, the
dictionary says with thieves, gypsies
or. drunkards, and perhaps more Of
ten with uneducated newsboys or
writers of comic songs. Some per-
sons cannot understand slang and it
offends them. 1t is too general and
does not tell the truth. 1t changes
very rapidly. An expression lasts
only about two months. 1t is trou-
blesome trying to learn the new ex-
pressions. Therefore, it seems that
a person should be very careful about
using slang so as not to offend any

OF NATIONS
INDISPENSABLE PART
Few to Be Found Willing to Assume
Responsibility of Decreeing That
Peace Be Postponed While
Treaty Is Changed to Suit
Their Desire.

New. York, March "A league of
nations covenant is indispensable to
the treaty of peace if "the war is to
accomplish the declared purpose of
this nation and the world" Former
President Taft told the audience at
the Metropolitan Opera House to-
night in an exhaustive discussion of
the league principles, preceding the
address of President Wilson.
Adherence of the Washingtonian
policy of avoiding foreign alliance
could not be applied to the present
international status, Mr.. Taft de-
clared, "because the interests of the
United States are inevitably involved
n the preservation of European
peace" For the United States to
withdraw from the project, he assert
ed, would make the league of nations
merely "a return to the system of
alliances and the balance of power
with speedy recurrence of war, in
which this country would certainly
be involved, as it was in the present
struggle"
Referring to criticism of the lea
que plan in the senate, the former
president stated his belief that it was
the duty of the president, as the
prime mover in the nations treaty
making power, to report the eventual
draft of the treaty with the former
central powers with the league cove
nant as part Of the treaty itself, if
in his judgment and that of the peace
conference an agreement formally
terminating the war would be incom-
plete without it. If the president
made such a recommendation, said
Mr.. Taft, he ventured to doubt if
there would be a majority of the
members willing to assume the re-
sponsibility of decreeing that the
treaty be amended by striking out
the constitution of the league and
committing the question to. further
discussion at Paris. Mr.. Taft stated
his opinion that the problem would
have ga somewhat different aspect"
for senators upon whom would be
laid the blame for "postponing
peace"
Though he relied upon Americas s
training for hundreds of years in
self government to counteract the
"hard, cruel, murderous spectre of
Bolshevism" in this country, Mr..
Taft asserted that eff it spreads over
and destroys the existing govern

REPUBLICAN MOVE
HURTS SOLDIERS
Forces Many to Remain in Service
Enough Money Left-Failure to
Pass Appropriation Bill Will
Slow Up Program of
Demobilization.

Washington, March 4.-Failure of
the army appropriation bill and 9TH
er military measures to pass before
congress adjourned leaves the war
department in difficult but not a
serious situation," Secretary Baker
said today. No immediate shortage
of funds to care for the troops is in
prospect.
Mr.. Baker said his greatest regret
was that failure of the army reor-
ganization bill meant that a number
of men of the war time army muse
remain in the service Tor longer
time than would nave heen neces-
sary otherwise.
Pointing out that the reorganiza-
tion bill proposed the formation Of a
regular army of 100000 men, Secre-
tary Baker said that ''by enlisting
these 100000 and getting going we
would have had troops to replace
those whom we will otherwise have
to keep"
eff the bill had passed." he con-
tinued, "we could have started at
once to organize this body of men
and to withdraw the temporary men,
bers of the army who are of course
anxious to get away"

Gigantic Organization of War Risk Insura

has been one of the great problems
of the bureau. Thousands of letters
of inquiry have been received each
day by the bureau; the work of an
swering these letters has kept hum
dreds of clerks busy.
THE public In writing to the bu-
reau has often failed to give suf-
ficient information to identify tho
case concerning which they write.
HOW hard 1t is to locate cases which
are not sufficiently identified may be
realized when it is known that the
files Of the bureau contain folders for
more than 100000 men. There are
52,950 Smiths in these files; 3.412 Of
them are William Smith, 2,625 are
John Smith 1t may be seen that If
letter of inquiry comes concerning
John Smith, and no information is
given which Identifies the particular
John Smith, search will be required
of the files of more than $500 John
Smiths. There are more than a quar-.
ter of a mile of these files and every
folder in the files contains complete
information concerning that particu.
lar case" ..

with another new task.t Governments
life insurance is q reward for those
men who served during the war and
it will become the d6ty Of the bureau
to make clear.and encourage men to
hold on to Uncle Sans INSURANCE"
Col. Lindsey remarked that the
work Of the bureau was practically
current. The most important feature
Of the work so far as the public is
concerned is the issuing of monthly
allotment and allowance checks and
insurance and compensation checks.
He said the checks, which fell due
during the month of February were
mailed on time and the checks which
fell due during the month of March
were also all issued before the end
of the month.
The task is a large one. For exs
ample, during February there was q
total Of 1,216,160 checks mailed from
the bureau. These consisted Of 1.145,.
OILS checks for allotments and allow.
ances, $500 for insurance and 14,475
for compensation. Up to the latter
part Of March the bureau had issued
nearly fourteen million checks to the
families of soldiers and sailors and
marines in payment of allotments. all

= THE GRAsSH0PPERS.

REPRESENTATIVE MoNDELL, the
10. new republican hoor-leader- to- be,
owes the fact that he has risen to high
place to the humble but ubiquitous hon.
ing grasshopper that hoped over the
middle western country with such avid
ity some thirty or forty years ago. it is
claimed.
BY the homing grasshopper is meant
the kind that seemed to make it's home
wherever Mondell did until the future
congressman just simply could not stand
1t any longer. So he jumped on the
fastest train he could find and rode and
rode and rode until he was clear out Of
the grasshopper belt. Furthermore. he
left no forwarding address for the hop
pers. and thus he got rid of them. For
all Of which he gives thanks.
Mondell was born in st. Louis. left an
orphan at six years, and grew to young
in northwestern Iowa. Then came the
hoppers, and Mondell, after battling
them just as long as he could, struck
out for himself. He worked as a clerk,
laborer. miner and whatnot. and finally
landed in Wyoming in the fall of 1887 in
charge Of a railroad construction gang.
His first night in the state was spent in
tent. and later he lived in log cabin.
He helped build the town of Newcastle.
Folks got into the habit Of electing him
to Office, and thus he became success
sively mayor, state senator and con-
gresham. He first came to Congress
in 1894, the free silver agitation beat
him in 1896, then he came back in 1898
and has been here ever since.
Once Mondell ran for the Senate and
was defeated, but every now and then
Washington political circles still hear
that he would like a job in the upper
house.
Out in Wyoming several years ago. at
crossroads town, the writer asked a
native how Mondell kept himself in Con-
gress.
Great Scott! man." the native re-
piled. hes the letter writinest man that
ever lived"
Mondell doesn't know how many thou
sand letters he writes a year. but as he
is the only congressman from his entire
state, and almost everybody In Wyoming
has land case or two in dispute, he
gets bags and bags Of mail weekly. Be
ing foe Of the rubber stamp. he signs
thousands of letters a week in his own
hand. All Of which would have been
impossible OF accomplishment il. in
seeking TO cultivate crops faster than
could destroy them. he had
not developed a typical hired mans
arm.

campaign, which was the second. was
to add $500.000.000 worth Of policies.
When the war risk insurance act
was passed by Congress on October
6, 1917. a quarter of a million men
had already gone to France. The law
allowed only 100 days in which these
men might avail themselves of the
insurance privilege. a period from
November. 1917. and ending February
IL, 1913. BY spring. 100000 men were
embarking each month. The war
risk Office in France issued an order
that the commanding officers of the
base ports should be furnished with
the names and organizations of all
men who had not been in the service
the full 120 days. together with the
names of all men who had not taken
out their full $4,000 worth of in
surance.
X X X X
Officers of the war risk section
were stationed at all base ports, and
during this campaign an average of
$20,000,000 worth of insurance was
written every month. The insurance
sold by the war risk section in
France totaled $500, 100000. The
whole amount Of insurance written
was $4,000. 100000. Ninety per cent
of all who finally took insurance were
insured before they left America.
When the files of the French Office
were sent here there were twenty
six tons of records delivered to Col.
Lindsey in New York. with the rec
ords Of 10000 men errors and de-
lays were inevitable. The war risk
officers went to the hospitals in
France to relieve the anxiety OF the
men regarding delayed payments.
There are no frills about the new
war risk .offices such as one finds in
many of the older bureaus of the
government; no Turkish rugs. carved
mahogany desks, luxuriously uphol-
stored chairs and damask hangings
Austere simplicity and such con-
veniences as one finds in the Office
of the every day business man make
a suitable atmosphere in which to
talk over the problems and delays
which confronted Col: Lindsey on
taking over the affairs OF the bureau.
He spoke feelingly on the subject
