RRoTHERHoo0's GREAT SHOWING
(Kansas Citv Starl

We told that the world is marching toward universal peace and the brotherhood of We been hearing reports of the progress of this march for time. We heard that in Russia the advocates of peace and brotherhood under the Lenine program had possessed themselves of machine guns and were shooting down the advocates of peace and brother hood under all other programs The shot-at brothers replying to the shooting brothers with such ex- plosves as they get their hands on, and brothers both sides reaching distressing num- bers.
 We heard that in Rumania this peace and broth erhood doctrine made strong appeal to the peasants and industrial wage workers, engendering in them resstless desire murder their employers and take over their property. This they have done so far as their zeal and brotherliness able to prevail against the resistance of those materiasts who de- clined to be loved those terms.
 The handy and simple application of the new and entrancing theory quickly stirred part of the man population to emulation and the Spartacans rose and attempted to shoot brotherhood into their fellows. The method that had a double sane tion in their Since it accorded perfectly with all the teachings of kaiserism which had itself at tempted to shoot economies subservency into the French and Begians and German hegemony into all Europe.
 In Hungary the brotherhood idea made an i'm mense hit Its converts enthusiastically seized arms took loving and accurate aim at the constituted gov ernment and shot it full of fraternity Just what further steps the brothers have taken there to pro- mote harmony haven't heard, but it is generallv held in the brotherhood camp next to shooting brother to make him love you the best way is to carry off his spoons and burn his house No doubt the great idea is marching to it's triumph over this approved route in Hungary
 With such satisfactory and encouraging renorts pouring in who can doubt that universal peace and brotherhood are at hand? Or if they are not surely that army Of Russian Reds, three million strong now said to be moblizng will their coming There may be slight delays now and then. As is illustrated Tn the case of Russia brothers want to arrive t brotherhood by one route and some by another so if is necessary before the can proceed that one brother should succeed in shooting the other And men, or course the victorious brothers may develop some little differences of opinion and have to shoot them out.

 The crest of the ridge above Souchez, can never again be reclaimed for agricultural purposes.

So the Canadian government proposes to it into sort of park, to plant upon it naples from Canada-for the maple leaf was the badge of the Canadians.

VINDlCATED!

With the modesty of a dandelion, the managers and owners of the Camers Back lay the following facts before our readers in order to show once again how important it is that a copy of this arena of aridity should repose on the hprary table of every male citizen over 21.
 Our reader will recall that some time ago Mister Lew Head, the revered book-wo of our eminent contempor- ary, The Republican, languished for authentic information as to the source of Mansfield's tragedy, "Rodion, The Student" Four days later, in the valued columns of this intrepid weekly, we rushed first aid to Lew in the shape of our mere personal opinion to the effect that Mir. Mansfield got the idea and much of the furnishings of his
 Rodion' from Crime and Punish ment" by Dostoevski.
 Like all good journalists. MT. Head never reads the paper he works on and so just naturally went on languishing. Last week he gets a letter from the library of congress telling him what we told him in this great weekly six or seven weeks ago
 Now, the inside fact is that the li- brary of congress is a constant and studious reader of this weekly, and we are advised that the ownAr of the H. brary was at a loss to know how to answer MT. Heads answer until il suddenly came back to hiu that he had read the real dope in the Camels Back. The rest was simple lie tcos our tip and read Crime and Punish | ment' and then sat down and wrote Lew his letter.
 Mir. Head then called on US and witt tears in his eyes thanked us from the depths of his gratitude and gave us . cigar and promised to keep a copy o1 the CamefS Back for ready rrfcrenct under the pillow on lis lounge in the telegraph room.
 And So We chalk up another one tc our long list of scoops. We cover tho desert and that gives us the ''oreak'
 on all the hot stuff worth reading.

SEE AMERICAN LITERATURE
 FIRST

Reyerting back to William Byrd, who, as our reader will recall from our first lesson, was an American writer of about the year 1925, we whittle this off his slab of literature which he was pleased to call 'The History of the Dividing Line:"
 Tn Santee river, as in several others of Carolina, a small kind of a1legator (the spelling is Byrd's) is frequently seen, which perfumes the water with a husky smell. They seldom exceed eight feet in length in these parts, whereas, near the equinoctial, they come up to 12 or 14. And the heat of the climate don't only make them bigger, but more fierce and voracious.
 They watch the cattle there when they come to drink and cool them selves in the river; and because they are not able to drag them into the deep water, they make up by strategem what they want in force. They swal- low great stones, the weight of which being added to their strength, enables them to tug a moderate COW under water. and as soon as they have drowned her, they discharge the stones out of their maw and then feast upon the carcass.
 However as fierce and strong as these monsters are. the Indians will surprise them mapping as they float upon the surface, get astride upon their necks, then whip short piece of wood like truncheon into their jaws. and holding the ends with their two hands, hinder them from diving by keeping their mouths open, and when they are almost spent, they will make to the shore. where their riders knock them on the head and eat them" etc.

Bob Lives Up True to Character Under
 the Reaction of Shell Shock

'Jane, it's queer Since that shock 1 never think much about women,' my husband replied, and for the first time he looked at me with hint of his old confidential manner. And l used to like girls, well enough, too.'
 Do you mean to tell me, Bob Lori mer, that you've grown absolutely in- different to love?" I gasped.
 Bob helped me to another chicken salad sandwich in his slow and dainty way, then he served himself deliberate ly, as if we were discussing nothing more important than a comic opera. Finally he replied:
 That's about it. l guess. At least for the present. But why not? The war has left some mighty big jobs for real men. I'm going to do my bit for humanity. somehow. That ought to fill up a reasonable mans days, pretty well?"
 "A bachelor can be a useful citizen, I suppose" was my rejoinder-it was a stupid one, but the best I could do for l had made a discovery. l was talking to the Bob I had known in 1914, the serious college man with a bunch of radical philosophies. We had even agreed that between an intellec- tual man and woman, love without passion can exist!
 Had my husband been of Q different type, I would have lured him on to Irritation, at least, and I would have trusted to chance for something more But Bob had never ''fallen for a vamp. Of that his brother, Jim, Jr., had many times assured me.
 He was ascetic by temperament. His l reaction under shell shock was quite consistent with his character.
 Our little conversation over the tea table revealed new depths of misery tc me. l stood up. and as Bob adjusted my wraps and as we threaded our way ] between the crowded tables, 1 caught
