CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE
LARGE

The attendance at the Cassii
Stake Conference last Saturday
and Sunday was remarkably
large. SO many were present
that it seemed that the division
of the stake made very little
difference in the number. 1t is
estimated that third Of the en-
tire membership of the stake
were in the audiences.
The Salt Lake visitors, Adam
Bennion, General Superintendent
of Church schools, and Richard
r. Lyman, of the Council OF
Twelve, both made addresses
which were greatly appreciated
by all who heard them.
Seth Harper was ordained
bishop of Basin by Apostle Ly
man, with Moses Martin ant
William Dummer as counsellors
Musical numbers were fur

URGED TO HELP
YANKS TO HOMES

All CONNIE ercial organizations
throughout the country are urged by
the Chamber of Commerce OF the
United States, made up of delegates
from these organizations, to take part
in a general movement to persuade
and assist discharged soldiers and
sailors to return to their own homes.
In cases where men have not the
money to pay transportation their
home commercial organization bodies
are asked to provide it.
This movement has been started at
the request of Arthur Woods, special
assistant TO Secretary Of War Baker.

employment situation is being rem

the desiye of many discharged soldiers
and sailors to seek work in some
other place than their own homes. 1t

STRANGE, INCONSISTANCE

The interpretation of article 10 of the league covenant, which the President inserted in his message to the senate on the French treaty, was offered deliberately of course, al tho it was incidental to the general cxplana- ton of the alliance with France In the Presidents words:
 "The covenant of the league of nations provides for military action for the protec- ton of its members only upon advice of the council of the league-advice given, it is to be presumed, only upon deliberation and act ed upon by each of the governments of the member states only if its own judgment jus tifes such action.'
 This interpretation, which is clearly con- sistent with the use of the word 'advice' in artcilc 10, safeguards the constitutional power of congress to declare war. CuriOusIv, there are senators opposed to the league, and who see great crime against our liberties in ar tice 10, who are reported to be in favor of the special treay with France. Yet the French treaty would bind the country far beyond the obligations of article lO Article 10 would give the whole congress a chance to deliberate and act on a question of the use of our forces abroad. By this French treaty the President and the present senate would Obhgate Us to fight for France, and how much would any future congress have to say about it?

THE BOARDERS
(Walt Mason.)

"What ho," exclaim the boarders; "bring forth the measly lot of profiteers and hoard- CTS, and let them all be shot," The boarders' grub is scanty, it's slim and punk indeed, in hostelry or shanty, wherever they may feed. Their eyes become river when they look round and see a sickly slice of liver, string bean and pea. The boarders' cheeks are sal low, their eyes are full of woe, their waist lines show no taow, they totter as they go. Their lean ribs clank together and ever, as they reel, they wonder, wonder whether, they'll ever have meal, Bring forth," ex- claim the boarders, bent up with stomach ache, "the profiteers and hoarders, and burn them at the stake" The landlord says he's giving the utmost for the cash; and boarders still are living on air and onion hash. In vain the boarders forage for fodder they can

Judging by American opinion as reflect ed in the press, the self-examination prot about by war conditions has destroyed a figure of speech in which the United States took satisfaction without thinking much about it. The Nation no longer fancies itself as "melting pot" The house committee on i'm migration and naturalization, reporting to congress, says frankly, "the far-famed melt ing pot has proved to great degree delusion' and snare;;" and one would have to search to find editorial opinion disagreeing with this statement. Summing up results to date, the broad conclusion is that the United States can assmilate only so much of Europe year; that what is has assimlated has been of the greatest value, but what it cannot becomes more and more undesirable; and that the problem is to find the method by which no more material is admitted than the process can reasonably take care of.

DENIES FOLKS STATEMENT.

Ronald Lindsay, charge daftaires ot the British embassy, made public letter to Grover C. Hall, associate editor of The NlOnt- gomery Advertiser, Montgomery, Ala in re- ply to an inquiry by Mr. Hall as to "how many Egyption soldiers fought under the British flag during the war and what was the number of casualties suffered by them:
 The inquiry, it is stated, was prompted by the brief recently presented by Joseph W. Folk, former governor of Missouri to the for eign relations committee of the United States senate, in which Mr. Folk called attention "to the fact that 100000 Egyptian troops fought on the side of the allies"
 "The British government wrote MT. Lindsay, who was in Egypt all thru the war, "has carefully avoided destroying Egyptian sovereignty. Egyptian soldiers always serve under the Egyptian and not under the Brit sh flag The Union Jack does not fly in Egypt except over the British military estab- ishments in the country, elsewhere the dis tinctive Egyptian flag is displayed. To answer your question literally, no Egyptian soldier joined the British colors.
 Of course this is only a partial state ment. In February, 1915, when the Turkish army attacked Egypt, battery of Egyptian al llcly joined the British force defending the line of the Suez canal The enemy's at tack deveolped just opposite this battery the members of which managed their guns in an able manner and assisted in the repulse of the enemy. believe they lost two killed and half a dozen wounded
 No other Egyptian armed forces were in action during the recent war; but later on three or four Egyptian battalons guarded lines of communication in Sinai while General Allenby was conducting his campaign in Syria; and an Egyptian detachment was at one time in the Hadiaz Neither of these forces was ever under fire.
 "In addition to this, large numbers of Egyptians were enrolled in labor and trans port corps auxiliary to the British forces These men were enlisted for short terms of three to six months and did the manual and unskiled labor for General Allenby's forces AS such their services were of high value, and they released for the fighting line men, who otherwise, would have been engaged in the rear.
 "How many of these men passed thru the labor corps cannot be stated, but the total enlistments at one moment amounted to be- tween 8O,OOO and 9O,OOO Of the labor corps men some came under fire while digging trenches and transporting stores and ammuni ton near the front and casualties were suffer- ed. l cannot give the figures authoritatively, but believe there were altogether about 500 killed and wounded during the four years of the war"

 Confidence is the keynote to the condi- tiOn Not in years has there been a more pro- nounced symptom of revival in mining im Yukon than this year, and not in years have the men who have the rich red stream in their veins been so encouraged as to get out and do things.
 Winter prospecting has resulted Tn the past in the proving of many home-stakc yielder It will do so again
 It requires no riot of words to show the man who is not afraid of work that there are just as great opportunities in the prospecting world today as ever there was in the past. Mineral is not opened without prospecting, the prizes going to the persistent and to those not afraid to stay behind the pick. Yukon has hundred of rugged men who will be in from the summer works soon with winter grubstakes who do not intend to be idle this winter.

A second instance of intolerable malfeas

A second instance of intolerable mafeas- ance on the part of the war or navy depart- ment-or perhaps both-was the bringing of 1900 officers back to the United States in en- listed mems quarters on the troopship Zep- pelin. "The officers particularly disliked eat ing in the style of privates," says the New York Sun. The poor things! Soon after the United States entered the war Boston wo- man asserted that the officers must have the best food, but that anything would do for private soldiers. One had supposed that this highly democratic view was held only in very select circles. But apparently an army with out caste is impossble.-Ex
