 The peasants council of Munich makes public a report to show that hundreds of returning soldiers have been permitted to keep horse as 9. souvenir. The permission naturally does not come from military authorities but from underlings, and the soldiers have then put the animals thus se- cured on the market at ridiculous prices.
 One regiment that should have had 800 horses returned with but 80, the rest having been sold, in many cases, it is feared, for slaughter-an easy way of concealing all traces. The city au- thorities recently conf1scated 97 animals that had been sold In this underhand way for slaughter. The peasants council has organized a guard of 40 men to help put down the evil.

WHY WILSON WON
 PARIS BY VISIT
Smile and Nonmilitary Manner Re- freshing After Visits of Euro
 pean MOnarchs
By Assnciateh Prexs

Paris, January 5.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press).-A Frenchman, a small merchant of Paris offers this as one explanation of the peculiarly popu- lar demonstration with which the Paris ians received President Wilson:
 We have had many rulers come to visit us in these late weeks," he said but crowned heads like the Kings of England, Italy and Belgium cannot dis associate themselves from their military rank. They come in wonderful uniforms with encourages glittering with braid and decorat tions. Essentially their receptions had to partake of the military aspect in dominant manner To the Salutes and cheers of the crowds these rulers had to make only the stiff military salute of acknowledgement. Naturally this is not very personal. Even Kings salute is like that of any other officer.
 "But," he continued, your President ly undecorated, not even a ribbon in his lapel. His hat was constantly off He was unhampered by uniform. He smiled, even laughed outright, in greet ing to the Parisians. People now and then caught his direct glance. It was personal, very human and we PariSians like that. So the infection of this per- sonal touch went through the crowds There you have it. It was different.
 "He is a little reminiscent of our late President Faure,' he ended. His smile and the intimate bow are much alike'

GENERAL HIKE SATURDAY
 This is the week when any scout III Birmingham may go with the hikemas- ter on Saturday regardless of rank De- tails will be furnished each troop mes senger on Friday.
 TROOP NEWS
 Troop reporters are getting on the Joo much better in the past week or so as can be seen by the following:
 Troop No. 1 put on a demonstration of a troop meeting before the Scout masters association Monday night.
 Troop No. not only was the first troop in the field in the matter of planting memorial trees but they have gotten so enthused over their work that their reporter announces that the troop is preparing the way for a mon ument in the little park they have ded- icated to the fallen heroes of their community.
 Troop No. 10 is enforcing the rule that a scout who does not make prog ress in his work will be shown the door, with the result that there is quite an epidemic breaking ,ut in that troop for passing second class work at once.
 Troop No. 19 has started another troop paper, which bids fair to make good. It is to be known as Nine teens Nifty News" and promises to make "Fifty's Fixit" look like lost pet. Troop 19 is also preparing to or ganize another trool, fin their meet ing place i. at the Southside Baptist church and have another man from the navy ready for scoutmaster.. Scout master Adams will be in charge or the navy recruiting station here.

A number of troops turned in such good reports that they have been able to get tout of the hole" in which they have been placed by reason of failure to report on the activities of the troop. The standing is now as follows:

proffers had suggested honestly and con ereteIy the individual solutions which, in the Wilson sense, would have put out the old fires in Europe. The military people and the military way of thinking, how ever, would not admit of such a timely and unequivocal concession. That is all as clear as the sun now.
 Why not therefore. admit this unde- niable German national confusion instead of trying to make it appear as though all were guilty and as though new wit nesses still were necessary to get at the truth? Every people goes through it's hard moral crisis of life; ours was the belief in the sword since 1S66-that can not be wiped out, and if we admit it to ourselves and the world we give a moral guarantee that we have thoroughly cleansed ourselves of a way of thinking that prevailed during the past decade
 He who has done his fellow man a grave wrong is expected by civilized so- ciety to admit, to be sorry, to pay the penalty voluntarily; and likewise from great people which, because of the des- perate confusion of it's lea ling classes bears the chief blame for a world catas- trophe, the demand is made with equal right before this people can be accepted again in the community of confidence of other peoples.
 "In the midst of a colossal breakdown only complete truth can save. We can gain the right to make a moral appeal only in the degree in which we are our selves honorable in going into court"
 Professor Foerster brought down the wrath of his colleagues upon himself early in the war by publishing in Swiss newspapers sharp criticisms of Germany. Owing to his personal popularity with the students of the Munich university the authorities permitted him to retain his position in that institution, despite pro- tests by other members of the faculty.

PROFIT SHARING PLAN

London, March 15.-Sir William
Crisswell, chairman of the ship-build-
ing firm of William Gray and com
pany, has inaugurated at the plant
profit sharing plan in the hope of
bringing the workers and the COM
pany closer together. 1t differs from
many other profit sharing plans in

the operation of the business shall
be divided once each year-S0 percent
to the company and 20 percent to the
employees.
Included in the plan are all of the
1000 employees, over q years of age.
The amount which each employee is
to receive will be figured on the an
nual income exclusive of overtime,
and wilful loss of time to the extent
of more than II days year will be
disqualification for a share in the
profits of that year. Allowance will
be made for illness and recognized
holidays, and time lost by reason of
a lockout, or general or district strike
is not to be bar to participation in
the plan.

There is no man in the country of

lam Hale Thompson was the man who
flatfly refused to issue an invitation
as mayor of Chicago to Marshal
IiJoifre when that distinguished
French soldier was being feted and
acclaimed in every large city of the
United States. 1t was a discourtesy
so pronounced in its character as to
be not short OF an insult and an act
which was accepted by the Ameri-
can people as an aVowal of disloyalty
to the United States.
With his remarkable German con
duct and his remarkable German be-
havior the newspapers were much
concerned Thompson had himself re-
ferred to Chicago as the Sixth Ger

his sabjugation to the German vote

that great way to put it? In the

as many ways of expressing that

havoc and the world is turning with
sickness of soul to seek something
to alter the trend to materialiZed and

brotherly love and alturism which is
the product and the proof of Christian

saving quality which holds corruption
and desintegration in check, streng-
