March IS, 1913.

| Berlin, Jan. .20-Berlin 70 years age
saw street fighting of much the same
| type that prevails in Berlin now.
| Only 70 years ago it was, democracy
fighting royalty.
From France the spirit of revolt had
spread to the German people. Revo-
lutionary meetings were being held
throughout the city, closely watched
by the police, but without actual in
reference.
A delegation waited on King Fred
erick William " on March II urging
reforms, and proclamations granting
freedom of the press and promising
other reforms were prepared.
On the 18th, when crowds had gath
cred in front of the royal palace and
troops were drawn up on all sides, the
king announced from balcony the re
forms granted. Then suddenly two
shots were fired.
eve are betrayed" the people cried,
and began to attack the soldiers.
Pavements were torn up to build barri-
cades, shops were looted for guns and
ammunition. The soldiers fired into
the crowds and engaged them in bat
tie over the barricades, and so great
was the loss of life that when at even
ing the king was called by the revo-
lutionists to come out on the balcony
and view his work he ordered the
troops withdrawn.
Many of the revolutionists fed to
Switzerland and to America. Others
served terms in Prussian prisons, and
March IS, 1848, has remained black

THE SC0FFFR

Ever since man has arrogated to
himself the position of boss of crea-
ton the scoffer has been in evidence
and has thought himself wonderfully
wise but the world has rolled over on
him and he has not even left a grease
spot as a memorial of his existence.
A number of great accomplishments
have been sprung on the world unan-
nounced until they were completed
and tested and so far as they are con-
ccrned the scoffer has not had an OPP
portunity to exhibit himself, but every
great movement that has been built
up before the public eye has been &C
ccmpanied by jeers while it went for
ward to success. How aluch fun was
made Of Columbus before he discover
e! America? How greatly ridiculed
were the men who attempted to per-
feet flying machines until they flew?
l. is strange how much smarter the
men who think a thing can't be done,
and don't try, think they are than the
men who do their best to accom-
pIish it.
Just now the scoffers are having
their fling at the idea Of league of
nations designed to keep the peace.
We do not know what plans will be
adopted at Versailles and we can read
lily understand that some absolutely
worthless or even some harmful plan
may be adopted. But if the task is I'M
dertaken honestly and intelligently it
will prove a success. We have no
doubt that in the primitive days when
the strong were unrestrained and
could prey on the weak at will scoffers
laughed at the idea that men could
combine to prevent oppression and to
secure justice, but they did. We can
not see why it should be mare diff
cult for nations to combine for this
purpose than for individuals to do so.
But we believe that nations will new
er accomplish this purpose unless they
DO just what individuals did. Individ-
tals did not agree to confer on every
case of oppression when it was mani
tested and combine to suppress it.
they organized a power that was
Stronger than the strongest and they
equipped it with the means of enforc-
ing its DEGREES. This power was prop
erly called government and when gov
ernments were instituted law instead
Of force ruled.
We do not believe that any good will
come Of the effort to provide an agen-
ey to prevent war unless than agency
Is clothed with the power to enforce
its DEGREES. When we speak of the
power we do not simply mean that it
be authorized. We mean that it should
be given force that will be strong
enough to crush all opposition. When
this is done the nations will be made
to keep the peace or be destroyed Just
as individuals are now made to keep
it or are destroyed.-Times- Union.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
FEAST ON WILD MEAT

With the American Forces on the
Dwina.-(Correspondence of The AS
sociated Press. wild turkey, ducks,
grouse and big edible jack rabbits
have relieved during the autumn the
monotony of bully beef and timed
stew in the mess halls of the Ameri-
can forces fighting the Bolsheviki on
the Dwina. The Yanks are operating
in famous hunting country and most
of them spent their hours Of leave in
chasing game. The few shotguns
aavilable were in almost constant use
and some of the soldiers developed al
most uncanny craftsmanship in bring
ing down ducks with their service ri
fes.
The marshy country is ducks par
adise and there are thousands upon
thousands Of a quail-like bird called
the "rabchik". When winter drives
the ducks south there will be bears TO
hunt in the woods.
One Of the billets where Americans
are located at one river town was or
iginally built as a hunting lodge for
the late Emperor Nicholas who, how
ever, was imprisoned before he had
chance to use it. Now, over the
huge fireplace in the kitchen, the logs
crackle under stewpots filled by the
Americans rifles.

William Not So
Popular in Cor
fu as Formerly

Corfu, Dec. 31.-(By The Associated
Press. )-If William Hohenzollern, the
former German emperor, should try
to spend the remnant of his career on
the Island of Corfu, as some recent
reports indicated, he would not be re-
ceived by the natives with any great
show of hospitality or cordiality. The
villa here which he last occupied in
the summer of 1914 and which he
owned, is now used as a military hos
pital and floats the French flag. Even
the especially built dock on which he
was accustomed to land is now used
for military purposes.
The Greek and Serbian population,
many of whom are refugees, realize
well the misery and suffering that Ho-
henzollern caused the world and are
in no mood to receive him even as a
temporary visitor.
"Achillion Palace" his villa, stands
high up on the rocky coast of Corfu
amid a wealth of cypress trees and
overlooks the picturesque Ionian sea.
The snow-capped mountains of Alba
MIA are only a short distance away.
The villa has been occupied lately by
a number Of disabled allied soldiers,
including an American sailor from
Brooklyn. When the Associated Press
correspondent visited it the other day
the funeral of United States naval
officer, Ensign Young, of Detroit, who
died of pneumonia contracted while on
duty, was being held just outside the
villa gates and the simple casket,
draped with the Stars and Stripes,
was being lowered in its resting place
on the sunlit side of the sloping noun

OF COURSE YOU CAN'T

oh, say, can you sing from the start
to the end
What so proudly you stand for when
orchestras play it?
When the whole congregation in
voices that blend
Strike up the grand tune and then
torture and Stay it?
How valiant they shout when they're
first starting out,
But the dawn's early light finds them
laundering about;
'Tis "The Star-Spangled Banner
they're trying to sing,
But they don't know the words of the
precious, brave thing.
Hank! the twilight's last cleaning has
some of them stopped,
But the valiant survivors press for
ward serenely
To the ramparts we watched, when
some others are dropped
And the loss of the leaders is man
ifest keenly-
Then, the rockets red glare gives the
braveSt a scare,
And there's few left to face the bombs
bursting in air;
IT'S thin line of heroes that manage
to save
The last of the verse, and the home
of the brave.
