erals Clarence l. Martin. a national

tive Royal c. Johnson. Unless immi-
grafton Is restricted there will be. he
says, a great influx Of Europeans. in
Guiding many wOmen of lax moral
ideas. Mr.. Johnson declares many Ger

AND 1T WAS THE GOLD MAN"
Sentry Acknowledges Some Anxious
Moments After He Had Halted
Commanding Officer.

In that remarkable series of letters,
IA College Man in Khaki" by Vain
wright Merrill, the boy author anus
ingly tells of his tremors as he chal-
lenged Il general while or sentry duty:
"'Alt /; 90 goes there?
(Calm. low. voice): ''Friend!"
(Harsh roar): General officer"
"Advance, One, an'be-recognized."
The Tuning adjutant, who wishe6to
leave at once, came up. and swore
audibly. Smiling sweetly, l said:
"Pass, friend. Advance, Two!
Up he came. Ye gods, it was the
general! If he were d%ispleased, I
might be clinked, court-martialed.
D.C.M'd, well-nigh shot!
"Show your rank, sir!"
O%bligingly did the much-mustached
old boy extend II sleeve from his bur-
berry british trench r%aincoat). Criti-
cally did l examine the crossed baton
and sword, the crown, and the re-
splendent star. Then:
every good. sir. Pass, friend; all's
well"
The dear old thing saluted and
passed on. l breathed well again.

CONTINUE ATTACK
ON FOOD MEASURE
Effort to Pass 500, 100000
European Relief Bill Still IN
successful In the
Senate.
ey-As.ociated Press,

Washington. Jan. 25.-ReturninR to
his attack on the $780, oo. 900 European
food relief bill today. Senator Sher-
man. Of Illinois. republican, reiterated
his belief that some OF the money was
TO be used to feed Russian b~olshevists.
The peace conference Russian policy,
he declared. supported that opinion.
Referring to reports that President
Wilson planned a continental tour
when he returned from Europe, SEN
ator Sherman said the president con-
templated a publicity campaign to
work up sentiment for immediate rat
ification of the a treaty. which
would include recognition of the boil
shevist government. The president, he
declared. would start a back fire.
against every senator who opposed he
treaty.
Meyers in Protest.
Indorsing the protest of Senator
Sherman against any recognition of
III b%olshevist governments, Senator
Meyers. OF Montana, democrat, said:
Il am greatly surprised and disap-
pointed that the powers in conference
at Paris consented to enter into nego-
tiations with those people or consent
W AiACCS OA d COA1llxlOIl pl0Ic. IL
will bring joy to the heart of every I.
w. W.. anarchist. pro-German and
enemy OF organized society in this
country and cause them to increase
their conspiracy and efforts to over
throw this government and all organ
lied society"
Denouncing the b~olshevists' as 1.-The
worst criminals ever known-worse
than the Germans"-Senator Meyers
concluded:
Crime should be punished. not re-
warded."
Doubt concerning the proper way to
vote has been expressed in speeches
by numerous senator's. Smoot. Hard
ing and Cummins. for example, said
they could not max up their minds
whether it would be better to vote nc
and deny Europeans American aid, OF
to vote yes and perhaps learn later
that they had helped h packers ''pu,
something over"

Western Canada Well Prepared to
Meet the Needs Of the Old World
"The Earth ls a Machine Which
Yields Almost Gratuitous Service to
Every Application Of lnteilect"-
Emerson.

Speaking with one of the commits.
sfoners appointed to make a survey of
the food situation in the b%attle-torn
countries of Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
of food was far greater than anybody
had expected. With the investigation,
which at that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been sur1mised. Herds of live
stock were completely wiped out, fields
that had been prolific yielders of grain,
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummocked by bombs and shells,
many of them still lying u%nexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way of cultivation can be carried on,
