While the game of cricket has not
been entirely eliminated in western
Europe, baseball, introduced by Amer
lean doughboys, is giving it a hard
rub and bids fair, in the course Of a
few years to give it it's quietus. Paris
papers announce that "the season has
oponed," and the universities Of
France have scheduled games with
one another. Besides a Partisan
team will play Oxford, Cambridge and
Edinburgh during the season. In adj
dition the Japs are taking kindly to
the game and are playing it with
bamboo sticks. Baseball is one of the
heritages which our doughboys have
left to the countries of Europe and
the far east.

According to reliable information
there are 1,250,000 saddles, made for
the war department, down in Missouri,
which will have to be sold for mere
junk-probably 10 cents on the dol

department., in it's great wisdom, or
dered these saddles made on the same
pattern as those used by civil war
cavalrymen and that number were
sent to General Pershing in France,
whereupon the general ordered them

Harvey's Weekly: We would not
insult the federal railroad administra-
ton by comparing it with the politi-
calmaster generals bedevilment of the
wires. But the fact is that it, too,
has proved lamentable failure. The
director general reports a loss on
operation, a deficit, for the first three
months of the year, amounting to
1892 100000. That is at the rate of
more than three-quarters of billion
dollars year. And that, too, as in
the case Of the wires, is sequel to
greatly impaired service. It will not
do to. say that the government has
been operating the roads in unfavora-
BILE circumstances. The former direc-
tor general, Mr.. McAdoo, is reported to
have said that, on the contrary, the
conditions were exceptionally favora-
BILE. Yet in such favorable circum-
stances the character of the service
to the public was greatly impaired,
the cost of it was greatly increased,
and yet roads were run at loss that
would bankrupt any but very rich
country. ss

Too much praise cannot be accorded
that excellent monthly magazine, Our
Dumb Animals. It teaches the true
humanitarian doctrine and speaks for
those that cannot speak for, them
selves. Every school room in the coun-

of these magazines for the education
of children in kindness to animals and
birds. It is published by the Massa-
chusetts Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals and is the best
work Of it's kind issued BY any asso-
citation in the world. ..,', ss

Gossip in Washington official cir

master general, who has been under
fire from all points of the compass, and
justly so, will resign when the presi-

tary and factotum, will succeed him.
Whether Tumulty will be an improve
ment over Burleson remains to be seen,

In the cutting of the Turkish en-
pire melon the United States is slated
to receive Armenia, which will extend
from the Black sea to the Mediter-
ranean, including Constantinople,
with narrow strip on both sides of
the Bosphorus. This territory would,
of. course, be governed under a
league of nations mandatory. Con
stantinople badly needs a general
clean up, and, under United States
rule, this would doubtless be effected
and the slaves of the seraglios given
their liberty. We have always con-
tended that the beastly Turk should
be driven from Europe, but this would
not likely enter into the cleanup
process.

Taking his cue from the various
drives for funds which have been
made, Chief Little Bear of Montana
has started one for himself. He says
that as he has six squaws and 10 pa
pooses dependent on him he sees no
reason why the public should not buy
him farm, and people are literally
contributing. This is the day Of
drives, and it seems that anything in
that line from a drive for the benefit
of the South Sea islanders to that of
reconstructing the world, has easy
sailing. After a while, perhaps,
some one will start a drive to pur-
chase face powder and perfume for
the dusky bellies Of the African
jungles.

opportunity for high federal officials

heads and titled nobility, while the
"dear people," burdened with high

which these junketers incurred. This

That the Salvation army will go

That the Salvation army will go
over the top in it's $13,000,000 drive
is a foregone conclusion. The popu-
larity gained by this great humani-
tartan organization through it's noble
work on the battletields is largely re-
sponsible for the ready response to it's
call for funds. Even society people
are vieing with one another in the
work Of the campaign. For instance,
in New York city the other day Mrs.
Vincent Astor and other wealthy So
ciety leaders made thousands OF
doughnuts and personally peddled
them on the streets. At one dollar
apiece these doughnuts sold faster
than oil stocks on the curb. This fea-
ture was, of course, in addition to
large money contributions which
these women made to the fund.
There is not the scintilla of a doubt
that every penny of the sum raised
will be utilized for the benefit of the
needy.

Ensign Alder tells US, and his word
cannot be refuted, that Salvation
army workers are paid mere dollar
per day when unmarried and $1.1O
per diem when married. From this
it is plain to be seen that the soldiers
of this army did not labor to give COM
fort to the boys on the battlefelds
for a monetary consideration but
from a pure humanitarian motive.
While the members of another organ
ization were miles behind the fighting
front, and while they refused to
serve our boys only at stipulated
hours, their canteens were
open,-the Salvationists we're dis
pensing coffee and food to the ex-
hausted and wounded on battlefelds

Bill Bryan, in his Commoner, adj
vises the democrats to look around
for ''young man" to run for the
presidency in 1920. He says, "He may
not win in 192O-it may take as long
as it did to win the fight commenced
in 1885," This is likely the reason
that Mr.. Bryan is in favor of a
"young man," basing his recommen-
dation on the belief that after the
candidate had entered into dozen or
more consecutive campaigns he
would be sufficiently old should he
ever reach his goal.

in motion by Senator Frank B. Kel-
logg for a searching review of the
treatment accorded by the war depart
ment under Secretary Baker to con-
scientious DIRECTORS.
''No single act could have been bet
ter calculated to rouse the patriotic
indignation of the American soldier,
his family, his friends, and the public
at large, than the early release Of
these men with honorable discharges
and full compensation. One of the
greatest obstacles in the Victory loan
campaign was the disgust with which
this performance was viewed by the
public and especially by the returned
soldier. Whatever hardships may
have been endured by the men in
France, their great complaint has not
been over what was suffered there,
but over having the slackers put on a
par with them. Mr. Bakers policy
smacked strongly Of putting a premi-

When George Miller was In this
country a friend Of mine asked him
how long he had eve prayed continu-
ously for any object. Taking a little
book from his pocket, he said: "When
/ was converted I was a wild boy In
college. My conversion broke friend
ship between my roommate and my
self, for he would have nothing to do
with such a fanatic he said. l wrote
his name In this book, and promised
God that / would pray for him each
day until he was converted, or until I
died. I prayed five years with no ap-
parent result. Ten years went by with
no change. I continued for fifteen
years-twenty years, and still he was
an unbeliever. I did not yet give him
up, but prayed twenty-five years. each
day mentioning his name at the throne
Of grace, and then came a letter say
ing: I have found the Savior Then"
said MI. Miller, 1T checked out this
petition as answered. In this same
book I have names Of others that 1
have prayed for, five, ten, and fifteen
years, and scores of names against
which there Is a cross, showing that
the requests have been granted"
Here, then, was a man who made a
business of prayer, and who kept his
accounts with the Lord in a business
like way. When he had a matter to
present to Gods attention, he first
found a promise on which to base his
appeal, always making sure If possible
that 1t was according to Gods will.
Then he recorded his petition In q
book, and watched and waited for the
answer. Is it any wonder that this
mans faith grew rapidly, and that he
became the most notable, and possibly
the most successful, praying man of
modern times?
It Is said that in battle 1t takes q
hundred pounds of lead to kill a man,
because ninety-nine pounds and fifteen
ounces of 1t is wasted In wild firing
that aims at nothing and hits no one,
On the other hand the sharpshooter
wastes no ammunition, but picks his
man, and makes every bullet tell. So
If we would pray for fewer objects
more carefully selected, and then make
a record of our prayers and watch fol
the answer, we should not waste SO
much breath, and we should obtain
more results.
