Artificial Limbs Provided.

II such a man needs an artificial limb
II will be furnished him before he leaves
the hospitals and he will be carefully
instructed and drilled in its use. 1t is
planned to keep it in repair and re-
place it when necessary.
Furthermore, II after he Is discharged
from the hospital a mans wounds take
a turn for the worse and he again needs
surgical care or medical attention the
government will supply all that free.
These men are not to be given their
discharge from the army until such
time as they are able to take care OF
themselves, While in the hospitals and
while being trained the wounded soldier
or sailor will be drawing his regular
service pay If he had any dependents
and they were entitled to draw an al
lotment, that allotment will be con
tinued until he Is finally discharged
and his earnings are beginning to
come in.
All these plans will take considerable
money but they are a part of the
scheme that has been worked out to
take care Of men who risked life and
limb to down the kaiser, 1t is par
Liberty loan should be set aside for
these purposes.
Where a wounded sailor or soldier
recovers and Is actually able to take up
his old work, even then he may have
the privilege of taking a course in vo-
cational training, free of all cost. The
war risk insurance allOtments will be
paid to him during his period of study
and training, but in these cases it has
been thought best that no allotments

PO|NDEXTER SAYS
LEAGUE UTTERLY
INTOLERABLE PLAN

CINCINNATI. O, March 27.-Sena-
tor Poindexter. Of Washington, Repuh-
Hcan, addressing the business mems
club here last, night. declared that the
proposed league Of nations plIn was
utterly intolerahle' in whatever form
ii may be developed and was unaccept-
able to the senate and the American
people, lie said union Of action and
cooperation was highly desirable if it
did not involve surrender Of the in
dependence and sovereignty OF the free
nations Of the world
Under the constitution Of the league
OF nations or any constitution based
upon similar principles" said Mr., Pom
dexter, the autonomy and ~self-deter-
miuatiou of the individual nations would
be absolutely destroyed, In other words,
while pretending 10 preserve the liberty
It would by this very act at once de-
stroy the liberties OF the world and set
up a mOnstrous military ~despotism in
its place.
Europe with its community of in
terests may feel that it can control the
proposed league OF nations and I'M
doubtedly it an; the United States,
however, with a different set of in
t~erests, having paid the fearful cost
of its entry into the war against Ger"
many to preserve liberty, would make
a monstrous mistake now to surrender
that very liberty to a different form Of
world government in the shape Of a
league of nations with authority and
power to enforce its DEGREES upon the
United States,
The plan proposed of a league su-
perior to and alien from the nations
over which it is to rule, with indie
pendent power. and authorized to use
force is utterly intoleraple in what
ever form it may be developed. No
arrangements containing thisA element
Of a super-government of the world
with sovereign and supreme power over
the nations which is advocated with
so much formal propaganda throughout
the country, will be acceptable to the
senate or to the people"

Getting Back TO Normal.

OF course the fourth Liberty loan was
the fighting loan. Those that came
before it were used up in building
training camps, launching ships and
When the fourth loan came it backed
up all that the first three loans had
made possible. 1t gave us victory,
made certain that the Hun should not
rule the world and sent the Prussian
armies back across the Rhine to fall
to pieces, TO riot in the streets of the
k~aiser's old capital and start a reign
Of red flaggery and bloodshed. But
first it disposed of the German and
ended the Hohenzollern menace.
And the fifth loan, the loan that fol-
lowed victory, has its own responsible
ties and its W work to do. 1t will be
just as important as any of the others
for both material and moral reasons.
1t is the loan that we are relying on to
help put the nation back to normal, to
put men Jack into their jobs, back into
their homes and back into the duties
and the thoughts of peace.
America would spoil the splendid rec
ord she has made in this struggle II
she should fail to back up her soldiers
now that the immediate need of their
services is gone. We would be a mon
strously ungrateful people If we did not
stand by the men in the army khaki,
by the men, in the sailor blue, until
they are able to go back to their homes,
able to earn a livelihood and physically
strong enough to be under no handicap
in civilian callings.
The best way for every American to
show his appreciation of what these
mne have done is to support the fifth
Liberty loan just as sincerely and just
as periodically as he did the four 9TH
ers that came after the declaration of
war, The guns may be silent now it
Is possible that they will never speak
again during this generation, but their
echoes have hardly died away now and
the present is a poor time to be for
getful of what the men in the service
of the United States have done for this
country. Buying as much of the fifth
Liberty loan as possible is an action
that will speak far louder than any
number of mere words, so far as ap-
| probation is concerned.

No More Crippled Beggars.

Instead Of this nation being filled
from Maine to California with thou
sands Of wal beggars and war Grip
pies, a depressing sight 10 any nation
and a constant reminder of the hor-
rors Of war. we will have thousands OF
newly trained and retrained men who
will live their W lives and so their
own way without any recourse to gov
ernmental pensions or private OF public
charity.
The funds Of the fifth Liberty loan
issue win make 1t possible for these
thousands OF highly trained men to go
ahead without having the glory OF their
sacrifices tainted in any way by moral
or mental breakdowns. They will be
living their w lives, taking care Of
themselves and asking no man for any
thing better than a fair chance n a
square deal. They are heroes and the
plans for making them self supporting
members of the community will not
tarnish their glory or take away any
Of the brilliance of their feats at arms.
That they will make better citizens be-
cause Of 1t goes without saying. And
this grea' plan of remaking the wound
ed soldier of America and giving him a
fair chance along with his u~nwounded
fellow citizens is one of the big rea-
sons why the fifth Liberty loan must
be subscribed and oVersubscribed.

Winter.

Winter has its drawbacks. yes. Il

a man gets old and dried, feels no
more youths pnlsing tide. when
his asthma and his govt put the
gentle joys to rout, he will hug tho
red-hot stove. saying plaintively:
by Jove. it grows colder every
year; winter IL = thing most
drear." When the dealer has no
coal, winter puts Us in . hole;
when the snow Is three feet deep
and the billiards madly sweep,
when. the wind blows 40 ways,
then we sigh for summer days, and
there come to us in dreams moonIit
nights and lulling streams. Winter
puts US on the skids: yet We see
contented kids pelting snowballs
At the cops-heap more fun than
spinning tops; and We see the
youngsters glide down the steep
and slide. Winter gets our feeble
goats; yet the huskies feel theil
oats; Needless Of our groans and
signs. there are many happy guys.
When we say that winters glum

The Case Of DR.. Osler.

Dr.. william Osler was one Of the widest
known among physicians Of his day. Millions
Of people had read or heard about him and
understood in q general way that he was as
ISOLATED with the theory that men have passed
their usefulness at go years Of age The doctor
was quoted a. saying they should be chloro-
formed then for the general good Of the race.
1t cannot be said that Dr.. Osler was a popu-,
lar man. especially among people who them
selves had passed or we're drawing near to the
fateful 60. In fact he was looked upon as =
crank and the term "OsIefized," referring to
the merciful elimination Of the aged from this
sphere, was spoken most often in derision.
The fact that the supposed advocate Of the
practice himself deaed the precspt by living
to 70 was considered most damning evidence
against him.
Dr. Osler offered one Of the most conspicu-
Gus examples Of fame based upon a mistake
The truth is that he never was an advocate Of
the practice Of chloroforming old men. He
merely quoted In an address the remarks OF
some medical man Of another age Next day
the newspapers misquoted him. the story was
eagerly seized by all the press associations and
ready print houses, miles Of column space
were used in telling what people thought about
his theory and it was q subject Of oral discus
sion for long time. The belief in the authen-
ITCHY Of the report got such start that no
denial could overtakeNt and DR.. Osler, who
was really broad minded and highly useful
member Of his profession, realized the futility
Of the attempt and did not make it.
All Of which illustrates with peculiar force
the responsibility which rests upon those who
write for newspapers.

MARIAN.

Mary, which ID the root Of num-
berless feminine names Of simple
dignity, is responsible for roman
tic Marian. Like her forerunner,
Marian signifies bitter. but a
sweeter name would be dihlcult to
find. Maria was probably its direct
progenitor and Marian came about
through the Introduction Of the
French diminutive "on," thus form
ing the name of
"A bonny fine maid Of noble de-
gree,
Maid Marion by name"
Tho delightful story Of Robin
Hood gave fame to her name and
as early as 1882 she was given a
unique place in popular favor by
the play of robin ct Marion" by
the students of Anglers, one of them
appearing as q "fillette deguisee.'
The origin Of Marionettes is thus
explained: puppets disguised TO
play the part Of Maid Marian. An
other explanation is that the term
comes from the custom of calling
the small images of the Blessed
Virgin Varieties or Marionettes
several streets Of Paris where these
tiny figures were set up were call
