A CRUEL HARDSHIP

II we understand correctly. the most
vigorous objection to GREATER Wheeling
comes from patriotic and public-spirted
citizens who live in the unincorporated
sections out-the-pike. These gentlemen
have, for many years. enjoyed the adj
yantages Of city improvements, furnish
ed by incorporated towns. which their
neighbors have maintained. and their
souls arc now stirred with righteous
indignation because there Is a chance
that they will be required to pay some
taxes 70 support these improvements
and add to them. Any Of US who have
for many years. had the privilege Of
using valuable conveniences for which
other people paid. will be able to sympa-
thize with the wrath Of these valiant
professors.

AS TO RESERVATION x.

What is the point OF the violent OPP
position on the part OF the adtninstra-
ton leaders in the senate to the reserva-
ton As to article Y OF the covenant OF
the League of Nations as proposed by
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee? This reservation simply provides
that the army and navy Of the United
States are not TO be used without the de-
finite authorization of Congress. This
Is nothing but reafrirmation OF the
American constitution. The power to
declare war. which covers the power to
use the military forces Of the Republic
rests with toe Congress Of the United
States. II il not in the hands Of the
President; 1t never has been in the hands
of the Presiden'. and so long as the
constitution remains as it is. that power
cannot be assumed by the President
without tho approval Of Congress. The
definite resveration. therefore. as to ar
ticle X. simply makes clear, the consti-
tutional conditions under which America
will contribute it's military strength to
the support Of the League Of Nations.
No intelligent and patriotic American
citizen would have that condition diff
ferent.
Why then should this reservation to
Article Y to be objected to?
Occasionally it seems that the peace
treaty and the League Of Nations have
as much to fear from the partisanship
of their alleged friends as from pre-
JUDGE Of their open enemies.

OUR DEAD OVERSEAS.
(By Edwin Markhem)

They sleep; they took the chance!
In Italy. in Belgium, in France.
For US they gave their youth /" its las;
breath
For us they plunged on into the Fnlf OF
death
With high heroic heart,
They did their valiant part.
They gave the grace and glory Of their
youth.
To lie in heaps uncouth.
They turned from these bright skies
To lie with dust and silence on their
eyes.
Yet they have wages that We know not
Wages Of honor and immortal love.
For they went down only to live again
In the eternal memory OF men
To the warm pulse beats in the great
cning soul.
That drives the blind world onward to
her goal
They are not dead: Lies flag is never
fured:
They passed from world to world.
Their bodies sleep, but in some noblcr
land.
Their spirits march under n new COM
mand;
New joys await them there
In Hero Heavens wrapped in immortal
air.
Rejoice for them. rejoice:
They made the nobler choice.
How shall We honor their deed
How speak Of this immortal breed?
Only by living nobly as thoy died
Toiling for truth denied.
Loyal to something bigger than VIC are
Something that swings the spirit 10
n star.

LAUGHED AT TIMES PASSAGE
Blue Delft, Saucer, Long Sunk in
Ocean, Benefited by Century
Immersion in Ocean.

The act of a fishing smack off Eye
mouth, Berwickshire, England, brought
to the top of the sea recently long
dead memory. A blue Delft saucer,
deeply incrusted with barnacles, lay
among the Topping fish in the net, and
it bore picture of one of the old
British coasting and sailing vessels.

Yet, over century later, china
saucer is recovered! It's blue, accord

HERE BIRDS FIND SANCTUARY
Area in Delta OF Yukon River, Value.
less for Other Purposes, Is Now
Profitably Employed.

The most important, and by far the
largest in extent, Of our national
"refuges" for the preservation Of wild
birds is a vast area in the delta of
the Yukon river, proclaimed as such
by an edict from the White House
just ten years ago.
1t is an area approximately equal
to Massachusetts. and the most valu-
able feather species concerned are
wild geese and wild ducks, which breed
there in countless numbers. Z. =
There is found the proper home of
the emperor" goose, the white
fronted" goose, and many species of
ducks which are sought as game in
other latitudes.
The region is known as tundra
country"-devoid of trees, swampy,
with many lakes, and of no possible
usefulness for agriculture or any 9TH
er purpose. If, however, the wildfowl
are there safeguarded on their breed
ing grounds, 1t will be permanent
source of game and food supply for
Alaska and the entire Pacific coast.
In order that this may come to pass.
It is necessary that the birds shall be
protected during the mating season
against the wholesale slaughter which
formerly was conducted by pot-hunt-
ers and alleged sportsmen from year
to year-a method commonly adopted
being to drive the helpless creatures
s~,ko
they were ruthlessly murdered.

"lmka."

'1mka" is the name by which the
Y. NJ. c.. A. is known in CzecherSlo-
vakia, for "Imka" is the reasonable
pronunciation of those four letters in
the language of the mid European
land. The Imka is very popular. When
the republic Of Czecho-Slovakia was
established, it's citizens who had re-
turned from fighting with the allies
urged that the Imka, with it's canteens,
nut service, athletics and recreation, be
invited to come with them. The invi-
tation was given and now the 1mka
has been developed on an army basis
with centers in ten towns and IS con-
templating establishing centerin the
famous coal mine region Of Teschen,
which is the bone Of contention be-

Shark Meat Is Tasty.

Shark meat is delicate in flavor and
texture, and sharks are plentiful In
certain parts Of Florida, but the fish
ermen do not catch them because they
are not salable.
The honse demonstration agent of
Monroe county, Florida, decided last
winter on an effort to establish in
favor this fish now under the ban. At
her request a fisherman caught one,
but warned her that no one would eat
it. Undismayed, she invited a large
company of women to home econom-
les luncheon, at, which was served a
fish salad.
When all had tasted the salad she
asked for vote as to how many liked
and wanted the recipe: Without ex-
ception the women voted their hearty
approval, and thus proved to them
selves that the prejudice was without
foundation.-Cle Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A large part Of our people, under
DR.. Usher, the hero of Van, left a
week ago on Black sea steamer.
The report has just come in of. their
striking mine. The ship foundered
but beached and, as far as they know,
no one was lost.
For the past week I have been tax
ing charge of a gang of men-mov-
ing great casks, hampers and baskets
from one warehouse to another. Many
have to be lowered from the fourth
floor by ropes. It is great fun. l

Their pay is 80 piastre $50 cents) and
one loaf of bread day. I call out,
"Hoss ye gour! Shad! Shad!" or
"Aro! or Vouch!" They say in Eng
lish "Alle right" One Of our young
men is always saying to them 'Shake
a leg" They think it means "move
quickly" so they now say to one an
other, "Shock log! Shock log!"
The warehouses are full of our
women and men and great gangs of
natives. Everybody is so busy. They
are putting on ships thousands of cans
of milk, flour, etc., to go up the
Black sea for relief. The natives do
all the lifting and carrying and we
do all the bossing. Today has been so
hard. One boat and two great trains
left this afternoon.
About three o'clock you could have
seen me flying up the track, to the
Greek bakery with gang of cham
ais" after me, a requisition in my
hand for 100 loaves Of bread. These
had to go on the train starting for
Smyrna.
Although we are dead tired at night
we all love it. Our dormitory is good

Great long tables are placed at inter-
walls and are the scenes of many gath
erings at night, some reading, some
writing and some playing cards. We
have days or half days off once in a
while and to the wonderful hills we
tramp, taking our supper with us.
Our people are plowing, using trac-
