After all that is the end and aim of

My life has heightened into these
days when most of our tasks are ac-
complished by machinery. We try to
make men by the thousand. in vast
educational machines, and no longer
by the one as of old. 1t was the low

ceaseless toll of mother and father on
the tender soul of childhood which
quiekened that inextingulshable sense
of responsibility to God and man in
these people whom now leave to the
judgment OF my countrymen.

WILSON TO REPLY
TO HUN QUERIES
PRESIDENT WILL BE DELEGATED
TO ANSWER COMPLAINTS OF
PLENlPoTENTiARiEs.
View Held by American Delegation
That Herr Scheidemann's Objections
Are Not Well Taken. - Colonies
to be Held by League of Nations

Paris.-President Wilson will per-
sonaiiy direct such answers as may be
decided upon concerning German i'll
quiries on the peace treaty differ.ne
from the presidents fourteen points.
This was announced ip high quarters
Saturday in connection with the ill.,
structions which Chancellor ScheiQe.
mann has given the German plen!po-
tentiaries at Versailles to address {,
note to the allies comparing the terms
of the treaty with the. fourteen points,
and making a counter proposal for yer
bal negotiations.
The view is held by the American
delegation that Herr Schiedemann's
objections are not well taken, that the
treaty is contrary to the presidents
fourth point on disarmament and fifth
point on colonial questions. It is ex-
planned that, while the treaty contains
a provision for Germany's disarma-
ment, this is preliminary to the general
limitation of ornaments by other ma
tons, and that the covenant of the
league makes a general restriction of
ornaments.
Herr Schiedemann's contention that
the German colonies are delivered to
the allies contrary to President Will
sons fifth point is met by the state
ment that the colonies are not deliv-
cred to the allies, but to the league OF
nations, which administers them
through manufactures for the benefit OF
their native peoples.
Concerning the proposal for verbal
negotiations, it Is said that much ex-
planatory detail probably will be done
verbally, but that any proposition for
general opening Of verbal negotia-
lions will be rejected.

WE CANNOT
GO BACKWARD
Twin Falls Chronicle)


If it had been intended that va
should not move ahead the creator
would have supplied US with pedal
equipment so we might move3ack-
ward expeditiously. But we were
not constructed that way. Our fe
,oint ahead, our eyes are focusse ]
ahead, our minds are attuned to
things in advance.
We couldn't use the flint-lock any
more than the hand reaper.
Yet there are those who urge us
to return to primitive state in this
that they would bring about condi-
tons under which every man would
be law unto himself, living in his
cave of Adullam with stone ham
mer to enforce his desires.
How, otherwise, can we describe
the motives of radicalism of Bolshe-
vikism and their associated isms
around which gather the malcontent,
the professional agitator, the ne'er
do we'll, the political shyster, the
anarchist? Their entire program
leads backward, for it spells destruc-
ton of the institutions builded thru
years of toll and thought, substitu-
ton of the cave and the stone ham,
'mer, displacement of brute force for
law and appropriation of the pro-
ceeds Of other peoples labor and
thrift at the will of the inner circle
of cabalism.
The American people can no more
be induced to move backward into
such wrecked wilderness, into such
a dismal swamp, than they could be
induced to give up the binder, the
motor, their educational systems or
their faith in immortality.

THE YANKS

The following ballad requires no
introduction, beyond the mere state
ment that it was anonymously writ
ten-as was SO much of the best wal
poetry-and acquired wide circula-
tion among the men at the front.
We welcome this opportunity. to pass
on one of the finest things 'of the
literature of the great Wharf.-The
Editor, Cartoons Magazine.
Oh the English and the Irish, and
the 'owling Scotties, too,
The Canucks and Austrylayians, and
the airy French Poilu-
The only thought that bothered us a
year before we knew,
Was 'ow in ell the Yanks 'ud look
and what in ell they'd do.
They 'adn't 'ad no trynin, they
didn't know the gyme,
And the only thing that bothered us,
that day in lawst July,
Was 'ow in ell the line 'ud old IL
they should run AMY.
Them leggy, noisy new 'uns just come
acrost the sea,
We couldn't 'elp but wonder 'ow
their CUTS 'ud be,
And the only thing that bothered
US in all our staggering ranks,
Was wot in ell d 'appen, when the
'Uns 'ud 1t the Yanks.
Gawd's truth, it's rotten fightin',
that's all our troops as seen,
The 'Uns dirty plyer becos 'es al
ways been.
But the only thing that bothered us
in 'anding' i'm our thanks,
Is 'ow in 'ell we'd done it, if it
weren't for the Yanks.
My word, it appended sudden-like,
when the drive 'ad first begun,
We seed the Yanks a-runnin'-
Gawd blimy, 'ow they run;
But the only thing that bothered us
that seed the chase begin,
Was 'ow in ell to stop 'em fore
they'd reached Berlin.
They didn't ave no tactics, but a
bloody manual,
They 'adn't learned no horders but
"Ooray," and Give 'em 'ell;,'
But the only thin gthat bothered us
about them leggy lads,
Was 'ow in ell to get the chow and
feed their "Kamerads."
So we were standin' all together In q
siffish firm line,
II any one should awsk you, you can
say we're dom flne; a
But the only think that bothers us,
and that don't bother much.
