EXODUS OF AMERICANS
FROM PARIS IS ON

Paris, Feb. 21.-The railway sta
tions of Paris are piled high with
American baggage these days. Moun-
tains Of bedding rolls, locker trunks
and the customary belongings OF the
officer, block every spare space, for
these men are in exodus home. They
represent very largely the officer
personnel not now attached to units,
travelling separately and trying to
reach the ports Of embarkation. Be
cause of this they have to use the
regular trains and other facilities OF
travel and transfer across the city.
Porters are few In Paris railway
stations. Those that exist are Ole
men or wounded men, so 1t Is not un
usual to see colonel or two wrest
ling with his own baggage side b!
side with a whole squad Of soldiers
Then comes the hunt for a taxicab
which is even more rare than the poi
ter and, unusually lacking an
French, these Americans have n
easy time in getting out Of the static
and to another.
i But they manage it after a fashio
with the help Of the American mil
tary police whose red hat bands an
brasssards are numerous in all th
, depots.

OF Highway Robbery
Prevailing on Roads

Grayson's chauffeur had been forced
to pay repeatedly to be extricated,
he observed the men recovering the
same deep hole with STRAW. He
thereupon drew his pistol and forced
the flends to pull his car from other
secreted pitfalls nearby.
Gentlemen, this is such mon
strous graft that you will doubtless
cooperate with your Georgia neigh

think an armed car should be sent

NO BEER. NO WORK
burlington Hawkeye.)

Some propositions are so vicious that
they are funny. and so funny that they
are vicious. Some workingnen in New
York City started the slogan No beer
no work" II is doomed to failure az
a rallying cry. The originators forgot
that millions of working people are not
drinkers of intoxicants. Such motto
is an insult to every American home
where intoxicants are not used. IL
puts appetite against the soul: the beer
vat against thrift; and drunkenness
against sobriety and good citizenship.
These characteristics brand the new
slogan as of anti American origin. IL
is worthy of the l. w. W. II is saloon
propaganda. The American people have
expressed themselves upon that issue
in no uncertain terms. That Is why
the slogan Of debauchery is doomed to
faiiure
II there is any merit in the new sio-
gan it ought to be adopted by all class
es of people. Let's try II on few and
see now it fits the various conditions
Of life:
The Farmer: NO beer. no food for
the people"
The Merchant: NO beer no mer-
chandise.'
The Banker: NO beer. no loans for
anybody
The Manufact urer: No beer moth
ing doing"
The Railroader: NO beer. no trains"
The Preacher: NO beer. no SER
mons"
The Doctor: No beer, no service for
the sick"
The Wives: mo beer, no children
and no breakfast. dinner and supper"
Uncle Sam No beer. no republic.
no government, no protection for life
and property.
All That last paragraph just fits
the ideal of the T. W. w. and the boil
sheviki "S' death to the abominable
political axiom of liberty that the ma
jority shall rule We are for the rule
by class and we are the class. All

of the new edict. there are quite a

sonable degree of sanity who will be
disposed to be skeptical as to the
utility of the funny new slogan.
