AND EIGHT CAME BACK

The original Princess Pats are
back. Eight Of them.
This Canadian regiment was
named after Princess Patricia of
Connaught, who has just as good
a claim as any other princess to
be godmother to a regiment. A
regiment is judged more by it's
record than it's name. And this
regiment needs no alibis.
Eight of the original members
are left. When England went to
war she had no army, and the
Germans were advancing on the
Channel ports. A few British
enthusiasts went to stop them
also some Canadians, including
the Princess Pats; ;but there
were more than eight Of them
then.
In the Ypres region, along the
Messines ridge, back and forth
through villages that were taken
and retaken time and again in
the same week, up and down
bills that were tagged with num-
erals to identify them as out
posts that must be held or taken,
the hellish carnival ragged. And
eight returned to tell of it.
The blood of those who died is
on the heads of British politi-
clans who for ten years preced-
ing the war resisted every effort
made to put England into a state
of defense. Such politicians
atone by proxy for their sins.
The bill is paid by a younger gen.
GRAFTON in the bloody days that
follow.
We have such politicians here.
throughout the war not a single
German fighting plane was shot
down by an American machine.
Not one.
The record Of American avia-
tors is the admartion Of En-
gland and France. But they
scored their triumphs in foreign
machines.
Fortunately we had the allies
with us. But thousands of Amer
leans would be alive today if our
armies had been screened by
those clouds of aeroplanes that

/ Somebody Slipped one over" on
the Colored Development battalion at
! Camp Travis, and although the joke
| ct first created consternation among
the members. it has worked untold
/ good in the cases Of more than 100 Of
! them.
When the order for rehabilitation
| first reached Camp Travis, rumors
+! spread thick and fast as to what was
| going to be done with the colored
troops. Some were told they were
| going to be sent to Germany, others
heard they would be required to re-
build torn-up France and Belgium,
while some even heard that an invad~
ing army Of negroes was going to be or.
ganized to restore conditions in Russia.
The most alarming of these reports,
however, was that before any man could
get his discharge from the army he must
| learn to read and write, and that he
must sign his own name to his dis
charge papers. Now, the Colored De-
velOpment battalion is made up chiefly
o. illiterates. and only few Of them
know the alphabet. Anyway, the ne
groes saw no hope for future freedom
unless they Immediately set to work
''educatin' themselves" as some OF
them expressed it.
The report reached an officer Of the
Army 7. NJ. G. A. and he Immediately
saw an opportunity Of pushing his edu-
cational work in these hitherto I'M
touched ranks The result has been
that in the battalion more than one
hundred negroes have learned to read
and write and now one of the fads in
the organization is for the men to carry
spelling books and readers around
with them. Every time an officer isn't
looking many dd the men can be found
at their fayorite pastime Of ''educatfh'
themselves. -. ~. ...zz. ssss.sis: -
In addition to this $50 others who
at some time or other had learned to
read and write, but who through negli-
gence had forgotten how. were able
t. brush up" and refresh their memo
ries to an extent that they are able
to do both again.
There are seine 200 others in the
battalion who had been in SCHOOL az
far as the third grade, and these have

The Finance Of the Soviet

There is a temptation to use
baby-talk in contradicting prop
agandists of a certain type. Even
in words Of one syllable there is
little hope of conveying a mean
ing that will be understood. Self
evident truths that should need
no expression at all will hardly
commend themselves through
theh medium o fanny kind Of
language to those who have not
yet recognized their obviousness.
Here is one. A dollar is of no
value except by virtue of the
governments guarantee behind
it. Make that guarantee un-
trustworthy, and The dollar is
useless. No one will accept it in
exchange for goods.
You can't eat a dollar. You
can't make a shirt Of it. You
can't put it into your victrola
and make it play tune.
Put a dollar between two slices
Of bread and masticate it. It
makes a poor substitute for a
ham sandwich costing one tenth
Of that sum
And yet the soviet govern
ment Of Russia has been printing
paper money at the rate Of 20O,-
600 rubbles a day for some comic
reason not yet revealed. It adj
vanced 90, O0O,O 900 rubbles to the
Putiloff works one Of Russis's
greatest factories, where &C.,
100000 rubles were spent in
wages in, a period during which
the total output was valued at
less than a quarter of that
amount. Paper rubles lie around
everywhere like discarded street
car transfers-but no pies are
being baked, no shoes are being
made, no talking, machine rec
ords, no movie films, no chewing
gum Or candy. Only money:
Many a bum. il, Ruasis has
plenty 81 cash, But he is, q tri-
fle, shy 81 chow. The ruble has
deprecated AZ per cent in the in
terror Of the country, and 2
farmer would rather eat his pro-
duce or feed it e his livestock
than exchange It for currency
that will not buy Anything.
They have been At It for q year
and q half now, and the above
conditions, described by the un-
prejudiced Socialist Kautsky
who has nothing to gain by ex-
aggeratior,, are the result.
