Declares GaIlivan of Massachusetts, Is
Disgruntled Over Pneumatic Tube.

Washington, d. c., June 2l.-Postmas-

resentative Buchanan, Democrat, Texas,
declared that "the hostile feeling" OF
Representative Galliyan, Democrat, Mas
sachusetts, who in speech in the House
Thursday said Mr.. Burleson should be
removed as postmaster general, was due
to the discontinuance Of the pneumatic
mail tube service in Boston, as recon-
mended by Mr. Burleson.
'The real reason of Representative
Gallivan's resentment and rage" the
postmaster general said, could be found
in the Congressional Record, which Mr..
Burleson cited as showing that Mr.. Gal.

NOW BACON HAS A RIVAL

To those who take argumcnintivc
pleasure in the conviction that Bacon
wrote Shakespeare, the Introduction
OF yet another candidate for that dis

the latest real Shakespeare" discov-
cred and produced by Prof. Abel lie
Frank, French scholar, who claims
that only an Englishman who had lived
in France could have written "Love's
Labor Lost" and that William Stanley
was the only contemporary English
man who fits the bill; also that there
was an instinct for the theater in the
Stanley family, and that William is
known to have written poetry. The
argument seems to be about as COM
plete ms that of the person who found
passage in letter from Sir Philip
Sidney which mentions "Will, my
Lord of Leicester's jester" and, not
being able to find out just where
Shakespeare was, and what he was do
ing at the time, decided that he was
probably my Lord of Leicester's
jester himself.-Christian Science

Aluminium Coins.

Africa has adopted the aluminium
coin. Nearly 100000 coins of that
metal have been struck from the Brit
ish mint for circulation in Uganda and
the Nigeran protectorates. Each coin
bears the value either Of cent or of
2 mills.
They are perforated in the center
like Chinese coins, in order that the
natives may string them together.
Bronze coins are in wide circulation
on the west coast of Africa.
In the interior small shells known
as cowries are used as fractional cur
rency. 1t is to replace the cowries
that the new coins have been struck.

PROOF OF BIBLICAL TRUTH
Religious Writer Points Out Parallel
Between Germany and the Re-
corded Fall OF Man.

The world war has brought to the
! fore striking illustrations Of the truth
of Bible doctrines as usually interpre-
ted by what is called the old theology.
Glance for moment at some Of the
old Bible truths that the war has illus
! trated and yindicated.
Take, for example, the fall Of man
as recounted In Genesis. Some have
had difficulty with this fundamental
doctrine of the Bible. 1 was talking a
short time ago with brilliant young
college man, stepped in the scientific
skepticism Of the age, and he said:
! "But, doctor, think how irrational is
the theory that man fell in a garden,
just created by an all-wise and all
powerful God!"
replied by pointing out the very
interesting fact that modern Germany
also fell In garden. There was not
country upon the earth more blest
and prosperous than Germany. Her
progress in all lines, except morals
and spirituality, had been marvellous.
II she had remained true to right
ideals she would have gone on un-
doubtedly into the leadership Of the
whole earth. But even in that garden
of prosperity and peace the devil Of
selfishness, untruth and false ambition
entered, and the ruling classes fell,
and like the fall in Eden, carried 9th.

MoraIe-a New Word.

Napoleon once remarked that NOR
ale is to other factors in war as three
to one. Morale is new word to our
speech, and / do not know that any
one has yet fully defined it, but there
are certain factors which must enter
into it's composition. And one of these
factors is the turning Of mems minds
away from the trenches to other
thoughts and occupations. Without a
change Of mental atmosphere morbid
ness comes and homesickness and the
feeling of being "fed up on the war
dulls the fine edge of enthusiasm

When the Boys Came Home.

Last Saturday was day of univer-
sal rejoicing in Scotland and one that
will be long remembered by our ci!i.
zens. The occasion was the return OF
the hoys who had been serving in the
147th field artillery in France. While
we have had occasion to rejoice before
over the arrival Of our boys, who
have been coming home one by one,
this was the largest company which
has come in body. and consisted of
about half of the boys who enlisted
from Scotland two years ago in the
South Dakota National Guard. Fol-
lowing the reception given the reqi-
ment at Sioux Falls last week Wed.
nesday they went to Camp Dodge
where they were discharged on Friday
and reached home on Saturday. The
city was literally decorated with
flags. and the large service flag was
suspended over the Main street. All
business places were closed when the
train arrived, and dense crowd gath
cred at the depot to greet them.
Some of the boys who enliated at the
SAND time had previously arrived and
q few are still in France, having been
transferred to other Divisions. The
most gratifying feature of this return
is the almost unbroken ranks. OF all
the boys who enlisted at that time
only one was killed. This was Mr..
Wurm, who had been in Scotland only
about three weeks when he enlisted.
He was a native of Austria. and had
been forced against his will into the
Austrian service. He escaped and
made his way to this country, and
took the first opportunity to enlist
with the Americans to flaht syn, Whist
he believed to be the right side.
They were engaged in. some of the
hardest drives, having served at
Chateau Thierry, Argonne and St.
Mihiel, and made records of which
their friends are justly proud. While
many Of them suffered from gas, or
from wounds, they are now all look
ing we'll and seem to show no effects
of the hardship that they endured.
The boys who returned we're Rex Tom
lineon. Donald Parmenter, John
Wells, John Wejland, Frank Colwell,
Morris Ide, Oscar Wold, George
S chneider, Sam Welk, Chas. Eisen-
man, Frank Bouska, Percy Brown,
Chris Albertr, and Eli Meyers and
Mr.. Baney from Olivet. who enlisted
with this company. Four others did
not arrive that day. Maynard Min
mich stopped off at Sioux City to visit
his brothers and sisters; Fred Cach
vent to Wisconsin to visit his sister;
I'd. Schroeder and Mr.. Eastman went
to Chicago to visit their parents.
