wouldn't let this nation be prepared
for war We had to do it all in a
hurry, and everything couldn't be as
it should have been. We had to pay
the price for the pacifist sentiment
that prevented the nation from being
ready. But we did the job, and did 1t
anyhow. If there is criticism to pass
around, pass it to the pacifists before
the war
Too Happy to Kick.
But after the men and the officers
of the Kansas Missouri units had let
it be known how they felt about it all
they had no crouch and no kick at
anybody. They were too happy. too
happy to be at home, to talk about
everything else. This matter of the
35th division controversy, as some re-
ferred to it, after all was a mighty
small matter. What was 1t compared

We cannot deal with insane people
The workmen ask too much. Wages
are too high now. Labor is greedy and
avaricious.
Wants "Quick, Good' Peace.
'sThe only thing that will make labor
go to work is need. When that be-
comes great they win return to their
posts. 1t all depends upon the en-
tente. The way to settle the problem
is for the entente to give us a quick.
good peace, send us materials and food
and grant US credit. This would put
Germany on her feet again.
I'VE must have imports to get in
dustry going We must pay most of
our gold to get food for our people.
We cannot pay out all of it however,
else the mark will drop in value to
nothing at all. 1t is thirty pfennigs
now. II will be raised to fifty if peace
is favorable, and to sixty il America
lends us credit Then would come the
long slow grind to mako the mark
reach normal.
''Since we cannot pay out the re-
naming 100. .Oe0. 600 marks gold that
we have the entente must grant US
credit We canRot expect anything
from France and little from England.
Hence America must lend US suffi-
cient credit to resume trade. The only
security we can put up for credit is
Germany's labor.
Worlmen Are Insane.
''The country is suffering as a re-
suit of the workmens wave of insan-
ity. The government must get away
from socialism, Socialization of Our
industries is impossible. 1t would rob
Germany and her people of initiative
and energy so they could not produce
enough to compete with the rest of
the world.
I'VE must carry a financial burden
that is rendered doubly heavy by our
enormous internal debt. We cannot
discredit our war bonds. They are
mostly held by people of small means,
| distributed thru the school treasury
bank campaigns. The banks hold but
| few of the bonds. Annulling them
would ruin thousands. especially. since
| they are used as securities by count
less small business concerns.
"Germany's only hope is help from
| the entente. which will enable us to
| produce articles the world wants. At
present Germany cannot compete
with other nations because of high
| wages, Labor demands are ruinous.
We will have Bolshevism unless peace
is made quickly and America comes to
our assistance"

Battle Of EyIau.

An indecisiye action was fought at
Eylau, a town "a miles south of Kon-
igsberg, Prussia, February 8, 1907. In
this sanguinary battle between the
French under Napoleon and a com
bined force OF Prusslans and Russians
under Lestoeq and Benningen, about
$4,000 men were lost on each side, and
while the French were left in posses
sion OF the field, there were no direct
results of the battle, and Eylau mas
passed into history as q huge, profit
less carnage. The numbers engaged
were some 10000 on each side.
Indirectly, however, 1t strengthened
the enemies of Napoleon by breaking
the charm of his seeming invinclbil-
ity. Napoleon had failed for the first
time in a pitched battle and his dip
lomatic standing suffered in conse-
quence. A few days after the bat
tie he started negotiations for peace
with Frederick william. He was
willing to surrender claims TO all
Prussian territory east of the Elbe and
not to ask Prussia to help him in
war with Russia. Prussia refused
these terms. Napoleon then proposed
an armistice for joint negotiations, n
move which indicated his critical po-
sition.

RISE AGAINST ITALY

BLOODY FIGHTING.
Occupying Soldiers Are Massacred and
Whole Country is Afiame, French
Correspondent Says,

Paris, Oct. 14.-"Bloody lighting has
broken out in Albania between the ma
tives and the Italian occupying troops"
says La Liberties correspondent at An
nemasse on the Franco-Italian bor-
der.
Reports reaching Annem0sSe say
the Italian losses are heavy. The con-
flict is the elimination of long and
careful preparations by the Albanlans
who resolved to throw out the occupy
ing forces.
1.-THE revolt assumed a character
of extreme violence. Over night the
whole country rose in arms, and the
mountains are disgorging hundreds Of
armed bands of ferocious bandits who
not content with holding up the Italian
supply trains, are massacring isolat-
ed attachments of scouts and fOragers
and have in several instances descend
ed in considerable force against or
ganized entrenched camps
unable to catch the real insurgents,
the Italian high command in Albania
by way Of reprisal has RACED entire
villages to the ground the inhabitants
of which, thirstlng for revenge. have
fled into the mountains and taken up
arms against Italy, swelling the in
surgent ranks by the thousands"

German Dyes Now "SWiss."

Basel, Switzerland, Is OF peculiar in
terest to us now, because the German
dyestuffs that were formerly shipped
by way OF Hamburg and Antwerp will
come out through the great Baden sta
ton there, writes Isaac #. Marcosson,
in the Saturday Evening Post. During
the past IS months the German dye
makers, conscious Of the growing Brit
ish and American independence OF
them, have transferred hundreds of
their formulas to Basel manufacturers,
who will export them under Swiss
labels II it is possible to do so.
Some OF the Swiss dye manufac-
turers, however-and there IL consid-
cradle colony at Basel--have union
to prevent this camouiage perform
ance.
Ii all gets down to this If we are
to protect our trade marks and prevent
the dumping of an immense amount of
German stuff masquerading under
Swiss titles, let the allied world keep
is eye on Basel.

Chicago. Oct. 14.-Four steel mills
in the Chicago district were reopened
and almost every other mill that has
been operating on reduced scale re-
ported that hundreds of striking steel
workers returned for work.
The mills at Gary, according to COM
pany officials, were operating at almost
normal. though 1t was admitted by
them that 1000 expert artisans were
still out. Union officials redculed the
companies claims. and said that the
absence of that number of skilled
workers was enough to cripple the
plants.

RETAINS MUCH OF BEAUTY
Persian City Of Shlraz, Though Sadis
Changed. is Still Worthy of At
tention OF Traveller.

In the midst of broad expanse OF
barren ground lies the fiat-topped Per-
sian city Of Shiraz, which was once so
wonderful sight as 10 cause the Wis
itor to cry, God Is great !" and by its
fascination and beauty to make him
forget forever his native land.
The Shiraz Of the present is still
fascinating, though its power over the
travellers memory has waned. The
stranger may hurry through the mar
row streets lined with square houses,
but on the outskirts of the city he
must linger and dream awhile In the
Persian gardens celebrated in many
songs by the poets OF the land.
Shiraz is proudest of being the home
of two Of Persia's nobest poets Hatiz
and Sadi. both of whom were enthusi-
astic over the charms of their native
city. The city has changed greatly
since their day, but succeeding genera
tons still view it through the rose
and-gold light OF the poets fancy and
still boast OF its wonders.
The citizens of Shiraz honor most
the man who can quote most fluently
and extensively from the poems Of
Hatiz; yet his grave, in Al garden be-
yond the city, is neglected and desc
late. A high brick wall encircles the
garden. Within. the tomb of the poet
is marked by pavilion and a marble
slab. on which is carved one of his
verses. All about the beloved singer
lie his followers and admirers, their
graves headed by stones which peep
through rank grass.
The gardens Of ShiraZ have such
names as Garden of Hearts Desire
Garden of the Envy of Heaven" and
Garden that Displays the World
names which they do not always live
up to in appearance, because of their
owners dreamy contentment in letting
well enough alone. Yet even the I'M
cared-for gardens are delicately beau
tiful. Tiny streams wind through them,
cypress and elm trees shade them
pleasantly, roses Chamber riotousy
over old walls and shabbily ornate
summer house peeps from among the
trees.

True knowledge.

knowledge Is more than mere sagac-
ity. Animals and savages display this
in remarkable degree. Real knowl-
edge Is due to familiarity with mental
and physical properties II knows the
relations of materials and the reac-

edge Is the child OF experience and the
product % mental digestion of facts.
This takes time and toll. II submits
the learner 10 situations and submls-
