DEMOCRATIC politicians not the pure,
homelovinR American statesman and
citizen, remember are proclaiming
that the women of this country are in
favor of the league of nations. Our
doubt is very intense. We cannot be-
lieve that the mothers, the sisters, the
young wives or the sweethearts of
America favor the sending of the
young men of this country across the
seas at the beck and call of wrangling
elements over there to settle their
scraps, which could not be accomplished
without hardship and sacrifice of life.
Maybe the poodle dog class of women
would Just as soon have wars frequent
ly as not, as that would create new
fields Of waste for them and their dogs
to scan.

that the Republicans have no candidate
and that a good loyal Democrat is
preferable to a non-partisan candidate,
is the offering for this action The
Tribune has been asked by more than
one nrson, is Blaine a Simon Pure
Republican? If he was the candidate
of the comparison league of this state
as proved by an assemblage Of that
last June, and if he supported Wilson
for president four years ago. as claimed,
then what would you decide a? We have
been atked also is Blaine supporting
Harding? This last query we are
unable TO answer, as we do not know
We've applied for information to those
who ought 90 know, but no reply has
been received thus far If Blaine is
not Fundamentally for Harding, it is
difficult to explain why he is entitled
to angle Republican vote.

WHO IS TO SELL THE PRESIDENCY

Editor Tribune 1t is interesting, If
not edifyjng, TO read about the charges
made By oue the presidential candidates
to the effect that the villains in
the opposing party are getting to-
gethcr an enormous fund to buy the
presidency
Ifit Is true. .as charged, that the Re.
publicans are going TO buy the presi-
dency might a humble citizen arise to
inquire From whom are they going to
buy it2 Even bunch Of complete po-
htical crooks would not be SO idiotic as
TO buy something from themselves,
Then does il not follow that the com
modify dn this instance the presiden-
tial othcel must be bought from the
Democrats
And does it not follow that if the
Democrats are so ready to sell their
votes as the charges made would inn
ply then they prove themselves utterly
unfit to have control Of the national
administration in any event? AVN,

Nurses Carry TubercuIar Patients to
Safety From the FIames-Heroic
Scenes Mark Rescues.

Naperville, ILL.,, Feb. 3.-More than a
score of bedridden tubercular patients
were rescued from death by the hero
ism of group of nurses and doctors
in fire that RACED the Edwards sani-
tarium to the ground. Most of the pa
tients are Chicagoans.
The building, two-story structure
Of wood and brick, burned completely
in an hour, but the bravery and cool
ness of the patients prevented injury
to any of their number.
At 5:15 a. m. Miss Mary Hulme,
night nurse, noted the halls were fill
ing with smoke, which was coming
from the walls. A moment later
flames broke through the walls stimuli
taneously on the first and second
floors and spread with alarming rapid
ity. Miss Hulme awakened the nurses
and doctors.
Clad only in bath robes, they carried
the helpless patients down fire escapes
and through smoke-filled Railways to
safety. There was no screaming or
hysteria from patients. They had the
utmost confidence in the nurses and re.
manned quiet while the work of rescue
went on.

GERMAN MADMAM FOR WAR
Berlin Papers Fear Entente Will See
Violation of Treaty-order Re-
ceived From War Ministry.

Berlin, Fem. General staff officers
throughout Germany have received
mysterious order, supposed to
have emanated from the war minis.
try, printed on official stationery and
marked strictly secret" 1t gives in
structions to the officers respecting the
organization and equipment of new
army units, which are to be held in
readiness for instantaneous mobiliza-
ton.
The order contains detailed direc-
tons concerning recruiting and organ
izing stores, aviation squads and other
units and specifically orders that 600
flyers, equipped for bombing flights,
should be in readiness by March l to
break through on the west.
Some of the newspapers print the
document, accompanying it with a
semiofficial declaration that it's author,
an insane former officer, was arrested
Saturday and is now in a sanitarium.
This declaration adds that "the order
might likely be construed by the en-
tente as a breach of the peace treaty
and evidence of disloyalty" and says
it therefore is given publicity with the
purpose of Indicating it's origin.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Approximately
94O warships, including l6 dread

armored cruisers and IL light cruisers,
will be the peace-time strength of the
American navy after July /, the house

This will be three times the number

declared war on Germany, but the
comparative tonnage will only be about
one and one-half times as great.
War Lesson to Be Used.
A number of improvements based on
the lessons learned in the war will be
made. The first line ships, Admiral
Taylor said, will be equipped with
airplane platforms over the forward
turrets and extending over the bows
so that aircraft may rise from all OF

London, Feb. 3.-Peace was def

dispatch from Moscow.
The bolshevist delegates at Dor
pat declare that Poland has aban-
doned her military preparations
against Russia, which were to be fol-
lowed by simultaneous attacks upon
Moscow and Petrograd, according to
a Central News dispatch from Reval,
Esthonia. Poland has taken this
course, the delegates says, because Lii
vonia, sin accordance with the peace
treaty with the soviet" has with
drawn her promise to place her army
and the harbor of Reval at Polands
disposal.
dispatches from Warsaw last week
announced the calling up of some of
the Polish army classes in q mobiliza-
ton movement and there have been
other indications that Poland was
fortifying herself militarily against
the bolsheviki. So far as has de-
veloped, however, no peace treaty has
been signed between Livonia Cor Lat
via) and the Moscow soviet govern
ment. 1t seems probable that it is
the Esthonian peace treaty that is
referred to, especially as Reval is the
seat of the Esthonian government)

In Siberia has mutinied, murdered
its officers and joined the bolsheviki.

last week reported that Yudenitch,
