Soldiers who recently returned to

istence Of conditions at the American
classification camp at St. Afghan that
are disgrace to civilization Twenty
eight thousand wounded men are
crowded into squad tents, they declare,
which were built to accommodate only
5000, the poor fellows have to sleep
in the mud, they are only permitted to
burn two sticks of wood in each tent
stove per day, men on crutches and
others who can possibly walk are COM
PEELED to form in line to go to the
kitchens and get their meals, some-
times waiting for hours before being
fed, and that some of them have died
while so waiting. If this story is
proven true it shows a condition which
will make the blood of Americans boil
with anger.

When this old country bumps on the
prohibition rocks all sorts of substi-
tutes for alcoholic stimulants will be
brought into requisition. For instance,
Paraguan tea will be one of these SUBJ
stitutes, and New York society people
are already preparing to introduce it
at their functions. It is declared by
those who have habitually used this de-
coction that it is beverage which will
preserve beauty, minister to strength
and stint the future with the roseate
hues of dawn" All tempting points,
to be sure, but the last is perhaps the
most important from a society view
point. Hence we may expect to see
large increase in the number of after
noon "tea" parties in the halls of the
aristocracy.

While the present administration
has put forth it's utmost efforts to
own or control public utilities and
place this country in the socialist COL

not long stand for it's program. Since
the administration commandeered the
railroads, telegraph and telephone

are being extorted from the public and

thousands of people will probably re-

course you will find cranks in all pro-
