BAKER SAYS 5000
MEN WILL BE SENT
Lansing Refuses to Discuss Participa
ton of American Troops In
Siiisia.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.-Although
Secretary Lansing declined to discuss the
question of whether or not America will
contribute 5000 troops to take part with
the allies in the occupation of Upper Sill
esia, Mcneil, Danzig and other areas pend
ne the piebiscite ordered under the peace
treaty, Secretary Baker said yesterday
that 5000 additional American troops are
to be sent to Europe at once from the
United States.
Mr. Lansing was aware of Mr.. Bakers
statement when asked about the matter
but explained that the question had not
been settled. The understanding is that
the 5000 troops will go to Germany to
he ready to relieve that number in case
t is decided that the United States should
participate.
This additional 5000 will bring the tota
American force in the army of occupation
up to approximately 1900. Arrangements
will be made to comply with the commit
ment which President Wilson made before
he left Paris, but in the event of opposi
tion from congress it will still be pos
sihle to countermand the order
The Presidents promise to contribute
Americas quota for the occupation of the
prescribed territories was in response Il

At that time it was believed that the
treaty would be ratified before the timt

Rainbow's Formation.

While it is true that the beautiful
colors displayed by the rainbow are
due to the passage of light through
raindrops, the popular conception that
the drops are directly in line between
the sun and the bow is incorrect, ac-
cording to scientists. The light enters
the raindrop and is refracted and re-
f1ected back to form the bow. In this
passage through the drop the differ
ent colors are produced which, blend
ed make our ordinary white light.

The Asset of Character

1t is good for the maintenance OF
morals to be reminded from time to
time by the worlds great men in
what esteem they hold character.
The late j. P. Morgan drew atten-
ton to the subject several years ago,
in testifying before the congressional
committee investigating the so-called
"Ifoney trust, when he said he would
rather lend a large sum of money to
man of unimpeachable character
regardless of what security the latter
might give for repayment. That was
striking testimonial to the value
successful business men place Oh
character.
Now comes the President with a
somewhat similar tribute. Disapprov-
ing the sentence of dismissal from the
army imposed by court martial on
an officer of long and honorable SER
vice, who had been found guilty Of
some infraction of military regula-
tions, the president says he has taken
this action ''in order, that he and
others may realize how valuable an
asset reputation and established
character are"
Too often, it is to be feared, men
ask themselves if an upright life is
appreciated. They have been taught
that "a good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches" and that
who steals my purs steals trash !;
but he that filches from me my good
name robs me of that which not en-
riches him and makes me poor in
deed" But they are rogues prosper
ing and persons notorious for dis
honorable practices apparently held
in respect. And the question arises if
prObity commands the esteem to which
ii is entitled
1t takes an incident like this of the
army officer to drive away the clouds
CT suspicion and clearly reveal that
character is always a potential as
set of inestimable value The occa-
sion may not arise in which a reputa-
ton for integrity will bring material
reward. But, like fire insurance, it
stands ready in a crisis to come to the
aid of him who possesses it.-Albu-

The Reds, Foreign and Native
washington Starr

The discovery of serious and
widespread movement to overthrow
the American form of government by
men living under the government
lection has caused distinct shock
And still more shocking has been the
discovery that some of these men are
American born, who have seen close
up, and shared, the many fine fruits
of the governments functioning.
There is no assertion in any quar-
ter that the American form is per-
feet. 1t was fashioned with great
difficulty. At the very outset num-
ber of the leaders of the people ex-
pected and predicted failure. They
could not see how such a government
could succeed
But it did succeed. Success soon
began to record itself. The country
grew in size, and prospered 1t
prospered so greatly, and the pros
perity became SO widely advertised
people were attracted from all over
the world The population increas-
ed by leaps and bounds. We are
now over hundred millions strong
and the restoration of peace is likely
to restore the rapid rate of increase.
Before the half-century mark is turn
ed, twenty-five or thirty more mil
lions may be added to the human fl
cures.
America is now in the foremost
line of progress, and hoping to head
the line She has the resources to
support her aspirations. She bulges
with raw materials and more skilled
labor is employed within her borders
in turning out finished products than
can be found in any other country.
The future for her looks exceedingly
bright
And yet here are men dissatisfied
with all this, and urging and the
scrapping of all that has produced it.
What they would put in it's place is
so loosely described, it bears no
known form of what is called govern
ment. 1t suggests, if anything, the
taking by force, if necessary, from
those who have, and giving to those
who have not, with periods of idle
ness and indulgence, and a general
iambOree.

Berger and the Constitution

There will be little diversity of
opinion in this country as to the i'm
pudent platform" on which Victor
Herger again appeals for election to
congress from the Fifth district of
Wisconsin. Most of that platform is
anti-constitution; the remainder is
buncombe. One plank declares
against the impertinent presumption
by any clique or party of the house of
representatives to dictate whom the
district is to elect as it's representa-
tive"
Since the vote against seating him
was 3O9 to one, his inferential charge
that he was the victim of vindictiye-
ness by clique or party will have
no weight even with his radical adj
mirers.
Berger has been excluded from con-
gress by simple application of a wise
provision of the constitution which
provides that each house shall be the
ludge OF the elections, returns and
qualifications of it's own members"
Berger was without the ''qualifica-
nons, and had serious disqualifica-
tlon-he is not american. ."-Albu-

sent world emergency where de-
struction has been wrought for a
period of years there is no other solu-
ton of the problem of reducing cost
of living. 1t will remain high until
increased production provides the
equal of what has been destroyed.
To do that more hours, and not less

A Real Red Remedy

Copies of Propaganda No. 3, is
sued by the Communist Party of
America, 1919 Glue avenue, Chicago
were circulated among the workers
of the Baltimore Dry Docks and
Shipbuilding Co. This circular urg-
ed workers to rise and take posses
sion of the plant themselves. The
superintendents of the company met
the men at the noon hour. told them
that these circulars were going a.
round and asked them how they felt
about it.
The men pledged themselves to rid
the plant of Reds without asking any
help from outside. They rounded up
quantities of the literature, turned
the stuff in at headquarters and saw
that it was destroyed. Moreover,
the heads of the workmen's commit
tee made it very plain that Reds were
not welcome within their ranks AT
last accounts they believed every dis
loyal workman had voluntarily
which is to say with little lateral
pressure but without need of any
from above-left the employ of the
company.
This sounds like the real thing.
In most organizations through the
country the loyal Americans out num-
Der the alien disturbers. Moreover,
the loyal Americans not only intend
to stay loyal themselves, but they
want their fellow workers to become
and remain So They disprOve tho
roughly of those fioaters with nothing
to lose.
Wherever the matter of casting out
the Reds can be left to workmen, the
results are likely to be better and
more thorough, leaving a better feel
ing throughout the plant, than at
tempts are made in any other way
