either. Back N 1906, when the
news of the disaster in San Francis
co was flashed over the wires, Bob"
Brown of Louisville, was Grnad Exal-
! ted Ruler of the order. He caught
the first train for Chicago, wiring
! Fred Robinson, then, as now, grand
secretary, to have five thousand dol
lars in cash and tickets on the Over
land Limited ready for him. Robin
son gave him ten thousand. and
Brown beat all records in reaching
, the coast.
More money, in cash, kept coming
| to him. He stayed out there for
weeks, and for time the Elks were
, the only people who had any cash
; at all for relief work-the banks be-
/ ing closed.
Brown tells one story of that time
"
representing various organizations,
! went into little town on the penin-
sula that had been left an utter
wreck. Brown spoke last at a meet
ing that was organized.
The others passed around slips
on which people could write down
what they needed" Brown says. 'It
was fine-and it was all they could
do. But when it was my turn 1 op-
ened a satchel ] had and slapped
down five thousand dollars in bills
There's what the Elks can do,
Mr.. Mayor 1 said. We happen to
have the cash. Go to it!'"
The Elks contributed and sent in
four hundred carloads of food to San
Francisco. And they raised SO much
money that Brown couldn't spend it
all, and out of the surplus a fund
was established that the Elks have
used ever since to give quick relief
in case of disaster.
They helped in the same way at
the time of the Dayton floods in 1913 |
and after the forest fires in Minneso-
ia last autumn.
And at Christmas no soldiers chill
dren lacked Christmas cheer. House
toulouse Investigations by the local |
lodges of the Elks took care of that.
Christmas has been a great Elk time |
always. Every lodge has sent mem
bers around, hunting up kids Santa
Claus was pretty sure to overlook. |
And on Christmas morning there'd |
be a basket, with dolls and sleds and
oranges and candy. After Christmas
there would be, as a rule, too, more
permanent help-somethi to in
sure the future. But the Elks think
kids ought to have a good time
Christmas, and hang the expense!
Don't you rather like these Elks?

America went to war; 1t has three
hundred and fifty beds, and no more
perfect institution of its type can be
found anywhere in the world. The
Elks have nothing to do with its
operation. They simply built ane

ed, themselves, and they worked with
the medical department of the army

And they furnished every cent of the

of somewhat similar character. At
Camp Sherman, near CLillicothe,
Ohio, for example, a bad situation
developed because the little town
couldn't take care of the relatives
and friends who came to visit men
and officers in the camp. The local
lodge of the Elks did it's best and
finally asked the Grand Lodge-the
central governing body of the order
for help. The answer was the cree
ton of a building where comfortable
rooms and good food were at the dis
posal of visitors at cost price.
But this sort of activity didn't
satisfy the Elks-the half million or
more individual Elks, scattered all
over the country, in their local LODI
ges. They knew the part their order
was playing. They were proud OF
that. But the two base hospitals, the
big reconstruction hospital in Boston,
all the other things the Grand Lodge
had done and was doing, didn't give
the individual Elk much chance to
feel that he himself was helping.
After all, what did paying an assess
ment of a dollar or so amount to? It
amounted to lot in the aggregate,
of course, and the Elks knew that,
and were glad But-they wanted
to do more.
They did. No one knows just how

RIPPING RHYMES
SOME DAY.
BY WALT MASON


Some day good sense will reign
again, so let's throw up our hats;
some day wen all be sane again,
our belfries free from bats Some
day Well quit our foolery and
buckle down to toll, cut out the
rant and droolery, and make the
kettle boil. Some day we'll tire of
clamoring and paving up the
ground, of knocking and of ham
mering, of yawps and empty sound.
Well tire Of all the driveling of
loud wind jamming men, and we'll
go swiftly swiveling TO our old Jobs
again. The brawny handed car
penter will pass the windsmiths
by; his plane. when he has sharp
ened her, will make the shavinga
fly. The blacksmith blithely, gaud-S
lily, will make his bellows roar,
and he will fire out bodily the
strike-suggesting bore. The rows
of kings embattled us and drew US
from our place; the big commo-
ton ratified us, and got us off our
base. We've all been wildly ca
pering since war received the
skids: we've all been vainly vapor-
ing, and talking through our lids.
Our old time Jobs are calling us;
let's get to work again. or coppers

claims or either side. they have com
pletely lost the sympathy OF the pub
lie. They have been unable to set to-
gether on common ground. Now they
do not intend to get together.
But Kansas has taken up the stand
ard which other states will be forced
to follow If the strike continues. Kan
sas does not propose to freeze to death.
It has coal mines and 1t will see that
the mines are operated whether the
owners or the miners like 1t or not.
Governor Allen of Kansas has called
for volunteers to work the mines. There
has been ready response. The peo-
Pile will dig their own coal and it will
be unwise indeed for the striking min
ers to attempt to interfere with them.
II shall use the power of the state, "
said Governor Allen, for only one pur-
pose. to relieve coal famine and to pro-
tect the lives Of those engaged In car
rying out this effort. The state is
brought to the pass of using all of its
power to protect the people whose suf-
fering will be unspeakable unless re-
lief is afforded"
Governor Allen is Justified in his
action. He announces he is not at
tempting to engage in a strike-break-
ing enterprise but he is determined to
and will protect the people. There can
be nothing but admiration for his cour-
ageous stand.

"cALL FOR KAISER WILHELM"
ageous stand

57HE British attorney general and
solicitor general are now In Paris
comforting with the supreme council
regarding the trial of the former kaiser.
His case promises to come before the
bar of justice of the world before
Christmas. While Wilhelm has been
the subject of considerable debate
among the Allies, France and Italy
have looked to Great Britain to point
out the procedure to be followed. We
may expect to see lively skirmish
during the next four weeks when the
Allies move to take possession of this
arch criminal of civilization.
The Dutch governments attitude is
by no means fixed. It's implied in
tention of resisting any effort to OBJ
tain possession Of Wilhelm's person
will probably not stand long against
a determined and properly presented
demand from the allied powers. Hol-
lands national pride cannot be al
lowed to. stand in the way of a sensi-
BILE plan to right great wrong, or
at least to bring an episode of tre-
mendous historical Importance to
satisfactory conclusion. No nation,
and especially no small nation which
exists by the choice of its friends
among the great powers. can afford
to decide for itself what shall be done
in this case.
That some satisfactory disposition
must be made of the former kaiser is
evident to any one who has noted the
trend of events in Berlin. The junkers
are not crushed and they are not silent.
Student demonstrations in many parts
OF Germany indicate beyond doubt the
former kaiser Is still the popular lead
er Of a militant and shrewd faction.
II arranged with an eye to theatrical
values, the former kaiser's. re entrance
into Germany--a matter of few hours
by train-might precipitate an inter-
national crisis. The world, knowing
what Napoleon came back to do, may
seek means to prevent another sensa-
tional outburst OF Hunnish ferocity
under experienced leadership.

STRANGE FACTS THAT
FEW PEOPLE KNOW

In connection with the frequent ag-
itation for universal military training
In the United States, it Is interesting
to study the systems of other coun-
tries. where such service has been
tested.
The National Geographic Society has
issued a bulletin concerning the citi-
zen army of Switzerland, based on q
communication to the society, which
says:
Universal compulsory military SER
vice in Switzerland dates from 1874,
when the old system OF requiring each
canton to raise an allotment of three
men for every hundred men of its pop
ulation was done away with, and the
system of requiring every able bodied
man to meet for training was substi-
tuted. The new system worked with
very little trouble or friction from the
beginning, and the Swiss people are
very proud of their citizen army.
In dts fundamentals the idea of the
citizen soldier laid down by the man
who framed the constitution of the
United States is the same as that fol-
lowed in the organization of the Swiss
army. The Swiss do in practice what
we do in theory. Every able bodied
man in America Is supposed to be
member of the militia, and yet how few
have ever shouldered gun or marched
in company formation!
'The Swiss boy. at the age Of 10. IL
put into the gymuastic class at school,
and begins learning the elements of
the soldier drill on the school house
play ground. Long before he is old
enough to be called upon for service
he has learned to do the manual ex-
ercises and to go through much of the
drill that.afterward fits him for SOL
der.
when boy reaches II years he is
liable to service-a liability which con-
tinues until he is SO years Of age. Even
after that he may be liable, IL he is ca
pable OF doing any other army work
than soldering, such as acting as ba-
ker. veterinary surgeon, or otherwise.
