OFFICER HURT,
ENLlSTS ACAIN
AS A PRIVATE
Australian Colonel, Wound.
ed at Gallipoli, Returns to
Fight in France.

London, Dec. 12.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-The story
Of a colonel OF Australian infantry
who was wounded in the Gallipoli
campaign and sent back to Australia
but who concealed his rank and re-
enlisted as a private to serve with the
Australians in France has added to
the esteem in which Australians are
held in London. Colonel Charles Mel
vile 'Macnaghten, the hero of the
story, is hailed as a man of gallantry
and grit.
He was the son of Sir Melville Mac
naughten, chief of the criminal inves-
tigation department of Scotland Yard,
says the Daily Mail, and was practic-
ing law in Australia when the war
began. HI was the majoc in COM
mand of the first brigade which land
ed at Amaze Cove on Gallipoli penin-
Sula. Within two days he was wound
ed three times. After recovery in
England he returned to Gallipoli and
led his battalion in their immortal
charge at Lone Pine. -,
After the evacuation of Ga1lipoli he
served for a time in Egypt and was
sent from there to England suffering
from wounds and fever. Surgeons re-
fused him permission to return to &C
tive service and he was sent to Aus
tralia as second in command of an
Australian training n
One day he slipped away from the
camp n Joined a replacement bat
talon in Queensland under the name
Of Charles Melville and soon after
ward was back in England training
on Salisbury plain as Private Melville.
He was quickly promoted to be co.,
Roral Eone day was asked by his
commanding officer, Corporal, do you
think you could drill this company"
Having commanded "a brigade, the
corporal put the company through it's
passes like the veteran he was.
Back in France again he was rec
ognized by officers who had known
him in Gallipoli as the daring and
brilliant ,soliioI they had called
fighting Mac General Birdwood,
with whom he had served at Lone
Pine, sent for him and gave him a
commission. Not long afterwards
Colonel Macnaughten was again sent
as an invalid to England, where he
was summoned TO Buckingham palace
to receive from the king a decoration
as a Companion of the Order of St.
Michael and st. George which had
been conferred upon him several
years before for his gallantry at CAL
lipoli. While serving in the ranks in
France as Corporal Melville" he
had been personally congratulated by
the commanding general for valor at
Messines Ridge.
Macnaughten's fighting days are
now over and he is compelled to rec
ognize this fact for, as n of his men
put it, h is riddled like a colander
and it is only his fighting spirit which
keeps him alive"

SCARS OF GRIEF.

I should not like to pass away t.
And stand before my God and say: 3,
II have not shared another's woe. '
1 have not felt a bitter blow.
1 know not what it is to fail
To stand where doubts and fears as
sail,
And still be true; I have not kept
My, vows against great odds, nor wept
In sorrows hours. From. birth to now
No line of care has scared my brow.
IT know not what 1t is to fight
For any principle Of right.
I've never stood where death is nigh
And in those moments questioned
why
The soul I loved must needs depart.
For faith I have not searched my
heart
And found therein the strength to
bear
The ache and anguish lodging there.
I stand before the great white throne
Infested and my worth unknown"

 President Wilson's appeal last October for the election of Democratic Congress rested the be- struction. Except by extreme partsans, criticism of his address based the opinion that admitting it's truth, he not the man to have made it.

Wilson characterized it. we now have even more convincing evidence from Re- publican witness who cannot be impeached
 It is no Democrat who says that the net result of the organization of the House of Representatives of the leading committees who, judged by their legislative records both in peace and in war, not qualified for such high positions in times like these and it is no Democrat who says of the Republican Partys floor leader, Mr Mondell of Wyoming, that he is "an orator and parliamenaran' but his war record is dubious, to say the least"
 This testimony from Representative Mich oas Longworth of Ohio, Republican. No doubt, last fall he complained as loudly anybody else of MT. Wilson's arraignment of the close corporation which in as in controls seeks to control the Republican party, but is he not proving the Presidents case? It is not the Republican Party that is under indictment. Mr. Longworth like MT. Wilson is addressing himself to it's leaders who party men first and Americans afterward.

It will require good many thousands of millions of dollars to give the United States the system that it needs for the most economical operation of it's farms and, in this of motor development there are still open questions to how good road may be most advantageously used after it is built Never before in the history of the country has there been more general determination to tackle the question of highway transportation and spend the money needed to solve it.
 In recognition of that fact the University of Michigan has just announced new course in high way transportation. Highway engineers who build roads and mechanical engineers who know all about motor-driven vehicles common enough, and the universities teach those subjects. The general sub feet of highway transportation appears to be thing new in the university field and one that may well attract the attention of Western universities which field where the road problem is furthes from solution.
 Here in Missouri public opinion is hopelessly divided Continuity of policy is not yet achieved and apparent y the Legislature is about to off another tack which many of the most thoughtful good-roads in the State will lead nowhere.
 Beginning guide public opinion by train ing new body of highway transportation experts will serve immediate purpose in this State but if something of the kind had been done in the per haps Missouri would not be laying down and tearing its roads and it's road policies with the distressing frequency that now prevails.
