An Old War Renewed

The smplified spelling board says a pamphlet issued by the board has taken advantage the ces- cation of the against Germany and has renewed it's attack the irregularities and inconsistencies of English spelling" Why not let us fully recover from the horror and suffering of the war? What is the good of getting hell only to be plunged immediately into another? We may as well have gone on with the world war one of whose blessing was that it delivered momentarily from the activities of the simplified spelling board
 The board presents a list of thirty additional words to be spelled according new style These are words of the most common use and some of them have already undergone change just as our words have always changed. Many the changes suggested though are awkward, arbitrary and without any proffered reason for making them For instance such words as receipt" "concet" deceit" in fact all words containing the improper diphthong lei" are to be changed to "eoncet," etc.; that is We are to have another improper diphthong 'ie" No expana
 ton is offered for this change and we can think of none unless it be that generally and that we believe $ true of German words, that the last vowel of an improper dphthong is sounded while the first is silent But the change would only further confuse us when we have enough trouble already with words of this kind This change seems to be proposed only for the 'ake Of change
 Another word in the simplified list is "bl1ro~ 2y which we suppose is meant either department of government article of furniture which We have been taught to spell bureau" We believe there is only one recorded instance confusion respecting this word It occurred at an easterl freight ter

Almost every soldier who has returned to this country in the course of interview, volunteers opinion concerning the comparative merits British and French soldiers. We have found consensus of view with respect to this matter but have dscov cred generally that the Americans who served on the French fronts like the British better while those who fought with the British have a fondness for the French. But all the Americans agree that the Canadians, the Australians and the New Zealanders are princes both in bravery and behavior

 Always anxious to see that each of us gets his share of the limited amount or entertainment on this orb, we pre- sent extracts from MT. Dryden's story as follows:
 LOS ANGELES. Cal. April 9-En route from the garden spots of Fresno to the land of the desert drought and despair, which is situated in the cop- per-tainted state of Arizona. Before leaving the station here the CubS were instructed to remove from their baggage all liniments, dandruff removers, hair tonic, tooth wash and corn lotions containing more than one half of one per cent of wood alcohol. It is said the wild-eyed native of Ari- zona confiscate these simple home remedies, drink them and shoot up their own towns.

 However, and not wishing to impli- cate MT. Dryden, when we 'uns in this woolly desert go on a tear and shoot up our towns and loved ones and give vent to pillage and plunder, we gen. orally have a substantial explanation for it-such as MT Dryden's own more or less plausible reason, that of drink ing hair tonics, corn lotions. etc. But we are at a loss to explain why Mir 1 Oi SueH HOihe tohH-lllE " iluy Nlly gets itself all shot up and gorary'n all that.
