TWO FIGHTERS.

It is certainly most interesting re- port that has been made to the presi- dent by the secretary of war to the effect that two of the young men who were courtmartiaisd and sentenced to death for sleeping on their post dur ing the war. only to be pardoned by presidential order, have proved them selves to be heroes. As was empha- sized st the time, when the act of the president was approved these young men had not been brought up as soldiers. and though the punish ment ordered was the prescribed pen atty for their act in order to give pro- per protection to the lives of the forces they guarded, the pardon was fully Justified.
 The effect of their experience only served to make them better soldiers. They were fighters and thoroughly patriotic and certainly no greater sacrifice for country could have been made than was made by the one who gave Ho his life when he went into battle and the other who will bear two wound marks for the rest of his life. Their acts subsequent to sleep ing on post must have had much better effect upon their comrades than could have the carrying out of the sentences that were overruled.

Silence broods over the battlefields of France-silence and blood-re pop pies that everywhere cover the ruin and desola ton with a mantle of beauty flung over the countryside by nature seeking to efface the traces of mans struggle, writes correspondent of the London Morning Post.
 I have lately had an opportunity of seeing the battlefelds and devastated areas of the Aisne. the Marne. and Champagne in company with a well known allied officer who gained con- siderable distinction after four years he had revisited these places of bitter but glorious memories. and l asked him as we left Laon what he thought of it aIl-of Noyon. Chateau Thierry, valley, the desolation of Rheims, that blasted country between Laon and Soissons Its the silence cannot get over." he replied; it depresses me be- were not cheery places in IT and IS, but then the men were there. There was movement. there was noise, there was all the hustle of an intense and occupied life Amid the dangers and the hardships we. forgot the desolation. There, now. is the thing itself, with nothing to hit it or to color it. He pointed to the Chenin des Danes and the stricken trees that raised their withered- branches from it's sides Tt is more silent than the desert. l never saw it like this before"
 Silence, indeed. holds court in this desolated countryside. Even the towns are quiet Never in all their checkered history have the cathedrals of Rheims. Soissons and Noyon been still as they are in these days. Rheims is shut off from it's faithful: a French sentry bars entry to it's desecrated courts. At Soissons you can peer through the era cl1s in the door and see an official of the Beaux Arts at work or a couple of German prisoners removing rubbish At Noyon services are being held in the Salle Capitulaire but the cathedral itself is too much a the mercy of the wind and the rain to permit the at tendance of worshippers. And in the streets and broken houses of these towns only the Frenchman--provinc industrious, tenacious, grim, confident and passionately fond of his home could carry on such fight.

They are not plea sant things to see and the presence of squads of German prisoners in their hideous uni- forms did nothing to relieve the gloom There is an overwhelming sameness about the streets of town destroyed by the Hun.

Sunday Morning Talk WHAT WOULD BE THE RESULT

From all lands there is arising a loud cry to God for time of spiritual reviving such as alone can uplift the depressed state of the living church of Christ, and cause it to go forth in commission, and to be the witness of God to world still in darkness. Such prayer is the privilege and the morfop- oly of the true Christian people of the land and to them. of whatever name or body. the appeal is addressed.
 If the prayer of Abraham could have prevailed to save the goddess cities of the plain of Jordan, if the prayer of Samuel could uplift all Israel from the misery of Phi1istine oppression; if the prayer of Amos could twice avail to exert a falling judgment from the race of Jacob; if Israers prayer could se- cure the peace of the lands when they were carried captive. what then will be the result when and if the whole living

Even.though the reply of the state ment department to the protest from the Carranza government against the pursuit of the Mexican bandits by the Americans and the demand for the immediate withdrawal of the puni- tive expedition will not be made publ lie at this time. there can be little question what the character of the note will be-
 Carranzas has already been informed by this government that he sis not properly protecting the lives and prop erty of Americans in Mexico and has been told that a change of policy on the part of this government; is entire ly possible. In other words he has been given to understand that he can no longer continue his disregard for
 obligations to subjects of other na- tions without this country taking
 steps to counteract it and furnish the
 protection itself.
 Perhaps the chance has come sooner
 tlSan Carranza expected, and it is
 possible that he figures that the
 sending out of an armed force to
 run down the ransom demanding ban dits will be looked upon by this gov- ernment as a compliance with its de-
 mands, but it is useless for him to believe that this country is going to place any faith in what has been do
 nothing policy on his part for a long time past. Border outlawry has got to be stopped even if 1t has to be checked by American troops at Mexi- co.'s expense and the best thing that could happen to Mexico would be to let it know that the United States is determined upon this point. There are reasons to believe that this will be set forth in the reply which should also refuse to recall the expedition until the object for which it was sent is accomplished. Mexico is not being harmed but helped by the elimination of such outlaws and Carranza can with profit give heed to the demands that are being raised in his own country that he arrange better understanding with the United States.

DEALING WITH THE BANDITS.

Some question has arisen as to what will be done with the Mexican bandits that are captured by the punitive ex- petition. It is reajized of course that these particular outlaws committed their offenses against the subjects of this country on Mexican soil. which differs somewhat from the acts of others who have crossed the border even though all are Mexican subjects.
 Early reports were to the effect that one or more of the bandits involved in the taking of Lieutenants Peter son and Davis had been captured but subsequent reports declare that four have been killed.
 Apparently it depends much upon the outlaws themselves as to what will be done with them. Whenever they show fight there can be little question what the outcome will be. The fate of the four. shows that and from all indications the bandits do not intend to give up without a strug- gle. That will of course simplify the course that our forces will pursue when those they seek, are encountered. What should be done no one questions and just as long as they risk their hides before American rifles there can be no doubt as to what the result will be.

DIR. MUCK.

Dr. Karl Muck the former head o1 the Boston Symphony orchestra, who during the var was placed under restraint because of the open mani festation of his sympathies with Germany has been escorted out of the country by federal agent. It is stating it mildly when it is declared that he has been allowed to sail for Europe for as a matter of fact there was nothing else for him to do. He was placed aboard ship by a federal authority and told to go Ordinarily it is regarded as deportation.
 Dr. Muck declares that he is not a German, that he doesn't know what he will do when he reaches Denmark that he has always considered him self an American but now finds him. self without flag or a country.
 Well that is the penalty, and none tob severe, for his conduct and it may be possible that Dr. Muck during his moments of reflection will come to the realization of the fact that he has no one to blame but himself regard legs of the fact that he may have on many occasions felt otherwise. His conduct was not that of an American but directly contrary thereto and if he doesn't have any regrets. in leaving tfe country, it is certain that the c01rntry does not but if it is outside ofsss Germany that he takes up his residence he may have different ideas of citizenship in connection herewith ir the future.
