Hampton-should or should not boys
Of high school be allowed, one day In
the year, to present themselves in over
alls or other unconventional clothing
because Of a custom in vogue at the
school for several years? The ques-
ton has been up for discussion here
for the past several days and is yet
an OPEN issue. It appears that a Feb
ruary date is the anniversary Of like
occasions in previous years, and that
this year the boys sought to observe
the day and met with some. oppositioA
from members Of the faculty in the
east side buildings. 1t is not difficult
to suppose that high school pupils
would be prone to carry such things a
trihe too far and thus mar or spoil O
custom that otherwise would be harm
less.

the red soldiers said Professor
Strive. Near Kotlas, all the monks in
one monastery were shot to death. Pro-
lessor Kartasheff. minister of religion
in Kerensky's government. who has es-
capped to Finland. says that the present
persecution of the church in Petrograd
is only comparable with the persecu-
ton of the early christians.
'"In Moscow all the shootings take
place at night, but in Petrograd the
victims of the bolsheviki are shot in
the afternoon in the courtyard Of the
headquarters of the executive commits
sion. and in order to drown the noise.
it is usual to start the engines of motor
cars which are waiting in the vicinity.
AT the beginning of the bolsheviki
movement. ! publicly expressed the
opinion that not even a German would
hold converse with bolshevik. AZ
Russian constitutionaist it is COM
pletely inexplicable TO me how any al
lied government can contemplate dis
cussion of any sort i'm any circum-
stances or at any place. with anyone
who calls himself bolshevik =
Those who imagine that there can
civilization and bolshevsm, have no
conception of the real state OF affairs
In Russia. The most moderate form of
restoration of order and liberty in
Russia would make the existence of
bolshevism impossible. hoshevism Is
complete tyranny. which is absolutely
Incompatible with any form of ordered
liberty and constitutional government.
It Is entirely false to say that boil
shevism is a popular form of govern
ment If Trotzky would walk a verst
through Moscow he would be killed. No
car lived in greater terror Of his sub
jects than the chiefs Of the bolsherik
government. There wa. more law and
justice under serfdom than under the
bolshevild.
ut is untrue that the armed forces
of the bosheviki can offer any serious
resistance to organized and well armed
pressure and the failure of the bolshe-
wiki In Esthonia. where they yielded
before small but compact forces. Is
much more characteristic of their real
nature than the successes they gained
in the north and east against the drib-
lets which were put in action there.
ITO represent the bolsheviki as be-
ing strong liz not only false but very
dangerous because it creates the very
impression that the bolsheviki desire to
create. They aim at world revolution.
and to create false impression Of
their power is to further their aims.
Civilization must not shrink from the
problem. il can be dealt with easily II
it is grasped firmly. The real strength
of the bolsheviki lies in the irresolu
ton OF the leaders of civilization.'

Dies Moines. March 3.-The colored
how. trained at Camp Dodge making up
the 3s6th regiment OF the Ninety-sec-
ond division. which acquitted itseit
with high honor in some Of the severe
lighting Of the war. are to be given q
hearty welcome when they return to
the big cantonment for rehabilitation
in the near future. The regiment
reached New York on the Acauitania
Friday Of last week and Is expected to
arrive in Des Moines within another
week or ten days.
Plans are now being made for pa :
rade by the regiment followed by a
musical. program and speaking at the
Coliseum. The music is to be fur
nished by the regimental band and by
the chorus Of singers which sang to
crowded houses on a few occasions
here when the men were IN training.
This colored division led the attack
at st. Mihiel in the closing days Of the
war and has been given high credit for
its work in numerous press and maya :
zine notices. It participated in the Ar
gonne fighting and I'm other engage
ments. Its casualties were heavy and
many Of its members have received
decorations.

HEALTHIEsT DIVISION OF A. E. F.
eSth Has Sickness Rate Of 2 Per Cent
Below Civilian Average.

Special to Times-Republican.
Gondrecourt, France, Jan. 27.-The
Astounding health of the Eighty eight
Division is q matter Of pride to its Of
ficers and satisfaction to the men.
Despite the climate and grabbing there
has been very little sickness. In fact
the rate for the last several weeks is
less than two per cent-far below nor
NAL In civil life and about half Of what
Is considered a fair percentage for
troops in the field, And this rate is
dropping as ths living conditions i'm
prove. with better billcts and messes.
Now that the great wasteage due to
active operations Is curtailed. clothes
are more numerous. The games and
amusements that help to fill up the
idle hours also tend to keep up the
spirit of the men and Keep the records
low.
The Divisions IL certainly free from
epidemics. There Is no pneumonia and
the Flu" has been limited to few
mild cases. There have been a few
isolated cases Of typhoid but it has
never shown any tendency to become
an epidemic. There is less meningitis,
expressed in percentages, than ever
known in civil life.
All the minor cases that make up
the sick report are in the same pro-
portion. In commenting upon this
happy condition Major Hanson, Divis-
ion Surgeon, said
THE same forces that have made
this record possible will enable us to
maintain 1t in the future. These forces
are well known to us: eternal 'vieilence
on the part of the medical afficers,
hearty cooperation between the doc
tors and the line officers. and deter
mination on the part Of the men to
put into practice the recommendations
made. And we are going to persist
in our efforts to keep the ssth Division
what we firmly believe it to be today
the healthiest division of the A.EF."
