RAIL WAY SITUATION
Is ACUTE In FRANCE

PARIS, France. January so (Corre-
spondenee of the Associated Press)--
France, as a result of the war, finds
herself short of 5000 locomotives and
100000 cars. while the transportation
material that is still nominally on
the active list is badly out of repair.
The shortage OF rolling stock has
become very acute lately, for the
number of locomotives and cars out
of commission for various defects has
increased since July last by 10 and 80
per cent, respectively.
To meet the growing difficulties in
the matter of repairs the state rnuni-
tion factories at Lyon, Toulouse and
Roanne have since the armistice been
turned with all speed into railway re-
pairing shops.

G. Jones from the Washington Red
Cross late last year to the effect that
her soldier-husband had been killed

him with open arms had married

she wants a divorce from him in six
months, and if it is not received
there Will be something doing
Camp Lee authorities are endeavor-

ring the matter to the Judge advocate

Jones address on entering the serV-
ice was SCI Stanbridge street, Norris
town. Pa. His wife was formerly
Annle Z. Farnley of 226 Lime street.
Camden. N. J. The husband returned
from overseas with three gold serv-
ice stripes, signifying eighteen
months OF service, and Immediately
notified Mrs. Jones that she might
expect him soon. because he would
soon be out Of the Army. Mrs. Jones
replied that she had married again,
believing the information received
from the Red Cross to have been au-
thentic. She further said that neces-
sity demanded that she again marry
to have some one to care for herself
and her newly-born babe. Demand
was also made for a divorce. IncIosed

1t was not long before Queen
Coral's name was heard all over the
world. Then one Of the men that
had been under the sea wrote a
book about it and the people.
People came down in this under
sea land often. The way they got
down was this way. When the
ship came to the place to 60 down,
the sailors would put down long
ropes, long enough to reach to the
bottom. Then the people down
there would pull on the ropes and
that would pull the ship down.
Now if you get book that one

just how to 60. And then all you
have to do is to pack your grip and

Character of the War

Now let's divide all these 6ghting
countries into their two divisions.
Let's call the Central Powers, the
Blacks; and the Allies, the Blues.
We will pretend that each country
is a man dressed in one or the 9TH
er of these colors, and are bitterly
fighting each other, on our stage.
Germany, Austria-Hungary are
dressed in black; Serbia, Russia,
France and Great Britain are
dressed in a dark blue, and really
Belgium is in blue too, although he
doesn't seem to be fighting much
yet.
It's still as if we're watching it
on the stage, and the Black and the
Blue forces are fighting. Others are
rushing up, angry or eager for the
fight.
Here I ami" calls Montenegro,
rushing into join the Blues. Then
comes Japan, then Italy, Portugal
and Roumania, following Montene-
gro; soon come Turkey and Bull
garia to join the Blacks. The fight
ing is taking place in all corners of
the European stage.
Here the curtain falls, leaving
the Blue and the Black forces still
struggling fiercely.
Do you have any idea how many
men were in this great conflict
Now let's try to imagine how many
there were. Have you any idea of
the approximate number (Which
means the almost" number) of the

In? Then divide that number into
38,000,000 men, which was the
number of men engaged jim the
fighting in October 1917, which Of
course, isn't a complete total, be-
cause there were probably more
men than that fighting last year.
/ For instance, let's imagine that
the largest crowd we have seen,
was one of three thousand people
in the Coliseum, then we can close
our eyes and imagine Tor try to
imagine) 13 million more groups
that same size all put together.
Can you do it?
All these men were fighting in
the most terrible war in history;
the largest, and the one where
there were the most difficult prob
lens of transportation and food-sup-
py, and the one where the most
horrible means of warfare were en-
ployed.
And all these things were hap
pening because the demon Hate
had entered into the hearts of men.
With Hate thoughts in their minds,
men can accomplish anything that
is terrible, just as, with Love in
their hearts they can accomplish
anything that is worth while and
progressive. One man who lets
this ugly Hate demon take posses
sion of him, wrote, ITO us IS given
faith, hope and hatred; but hatred
is the greatest among them"
This was written by a German,
several years ago, and shows us
how these thoughts were moulding
the people of nation until they
could accomplish such cruel things
as the Central Powers are guilty
of. It's true anywhere, hate
thoughts are always ugly and cruel,
and love thoughts are beautiful and
attractive.
Do you remember the story of
the two step-sisters? One was
cross, and didn't like anyone, and
thought ugly thoughts and so every
time she spoke, an old ugly frog
jumped out OF her mouth; and so
no one wanted to have anything to
do with her. The other sister, how
ever, was sweet and kind and love
ly, her thoughts were good and she
liked everyone, from the dear old
people to the rollicksome children,
and every time she spoke, bright,
gold coin fell from her lips. Every
one wanted to be near her, and it
wasn't just to gather up the gold
coins, either.
So now we want to plan and try
to make this old world up this time,
so that people will be free to live
and love and progress, without the
danger of being overpowered by
these cruel demons of Hate. That
is the chief idea in the minds of
President Wilson and all the dele
gates of the great Peace Confer.

If any Garfield pupils want to
know any society news, Ask Doro-

Cliff Turner seems to beat up on
Chauncy's ford. Why always pick
on something helpless.
Norman Hoffer and Bill Menden-
hall are inheriting their climbing

and Butt Weidner.
Mary Cooper seems to be sitting
in an Office chair as she turns
around in English quite often. Why
turn around so often, Mary?
Edna Lands admires the high

than books.
AS some people do not know that
