ON AN ARMY BASIS.

A dozen male school teachers in
Pittsburgh who served in the army
during the war have pettioned to
have their compensation placed on
the army basis Of $33 per month,
with board, clothing and lodging.
Their pay now ranges from 1920 to
$217 per month, and this, they as
sert. at the present scale Of living
costs, is not equivalent to the pay
given the private soldier.
The time may come when school
teachers, in Pittsburgh and elsewhere.
will be installed in barracks, clad in
standard uniforms. and each sup
piled with his mess kit. Possibly the
morning and evening bugle calls, the
cleaning up Of kits and quarters. and
occasional assignment to kitchen po-
lice duty may be added to enhance
the realism of the thing.
The petition, however, suggests a
feature Of army life which is quite
often overlooked. The soldiers cash
pay Of thirty-odd dollars a month is
often treated as his entire compensa-
ton, and is contrasted with the civil
ian's pay of several times that sum.
Critics sometimes overlook the fact
that especially in these days, when
one is paid so much a month and
found" the found" is apt to repre-
Sent by far the greater share of the
actual compensation.

these h Armenia, inhabited by over
100000 Of distinct race. mostly
Christian. This district extends from
tho Mediterranean to the Black Sea.
and effectually separates the two
great Turanian groups. The policy
of Turkey has been to effect = juno
ton, to consolidate all these peoples
under one government at. CONSTANT
nople. and .thus to create a great
Turkish empire which. in process Of
time. could exercise dominion oyer
the greater part Of Asia.
Therefore, the obstruction present
ed by the Armenians was to be re-
moved by the simple and truly ORR
entail device of killing off the Arme-
mans. The alluring prospect OF being
able to accomplish, this purpose was
one Of tho motives which prompted
Turkey to join the kaiser in his late
enterprise, and 1t formed a part Of the
plan of the kaiser for a great central
empire reaching from the North Sea
to the Indian Ocean. That program
was interrupted. but efforts have
been made to have the Turkish part
Of it resumed through the appoint
ment Of the United States as manda-
tory for the undivided Turkish en-
pire. Under that plan Armenia would
remain Turkish territory, with such
measures Of autonomy as might be
decided on for the time being, but
subject to the suzerainty Of the sultan.
Then. when Turkey had been rehab-
ilitated and made a going concern
through American administration,
with her Golfers filled and her soldiers
trained, tho time would come for the
throwing off of the control Of the
western powers, and a holy war would
be proclaimed for the control Of Asia
Against any such program eminent
Americans Of all shades Of political
belief have set themselves unalter-
ably. They insist on the recognition
OF Armenia as an independent repub-
lie, on her protection from z
sion, and on such financial and ad-
ministrative assistance as may be
necessary to aid her in getting on her
feet This policy Is urged, not only
on grounds of immediate humanitar-
ianism. but for the purpose Of erect
ing a permanent obstacle in the way
of the realization Of the ambitions Of
an utterly unfit power for world em-
pire.

THE OTHER FELLOW.

If we were in the other fellows place,
If we knew all that troubls him each day,
If we could solve the riddle of his face
And see the many pitfalls in his way,
Perhaps we, too. would stand and cry aloud
And shudder at the jeering of the crowd.
How sorely tempted is the sinner here
Only the sinner we'll and truly knows; =
What buds of hope have blighted year by year.
Leaving decay where should have bloomed a rose.
None but the broken toiler here can tell.
Yet, jim his place., would we have done as well?
If we were standing where the failure stands.
And knew the disappointment he had faced.
HAD had our LIES work 'crumble in our hands,
Or, Abeing weak, had sinned and been disgraced
Perhaps we, too, would shuttle down the street
Ana lie or steal Tor something warm to eat.
Better than sneers is pity for the lost, rs
Few. men by choice upon life's rocks are wrerLaa
They that have failed. and now must paw the cost
Once hoped to walk the world with heads erect. -
And we, perhaps. who stretch no hand If. aid
Against such odds no better would have PLAYED.

A FAIR APPRAISAL.

Henry Sldenbotham, England'S dis
tinguished military critic. contributed
an illuminating article to the current
number Of the Atlantic Monthly on
General Ludendorffs book. The
memoirs of the directing head Of the
German military machine have had
wide circulation in his country in the
past few months and have provoked
much discussion. Ludendorf is not
disposed to give the American army
much credit for the defeat of his
but Sidenbotham takes up
that angle with a fine spirit Of fair
ness and without any of the prejudice
which so often crops out when Eu-
ropean writer's discuss this country's
contribution to the allied victory.
"Ludendorn. in his book" says
Sidenbotham, calls August 8 the
black day of the German army in the
war. He has been disappointed by
his failure to reach Amiens in his
first great offensive. The second Of
fensive toward Calais, which ST
alarmed England, revealed to the eye
of Ludendorn a failure in the morale
Of some German divisions which
made him apprehensive of what hap
pened later. But what shocked him
in the Allied victory on August 8 was
the evidence that, in spite of our
heavy losses, we were still able to
take a successful offensive, and that
in front of Amiens. That was the
doing Of the American troops. It
was not that the Americans al this
time had very great numbers in the
front line, although they had some
troops Of fine quality who did inval-
liable service. Their most important
contribution to the Allies was that
they enabled us to throw all in, .Foch
could choose the exact moment for
his counter-offensive because he
knew that behind him he had the
ine1haustible reserve of the Ameri-
can army. 1t was not the American
troops actually in the field that won
the a It was the enemy's fear
OF them and Foch's absolute conf
in them. The mere shadow
OF the American giant falling across
The battlefield shattered the morale
OF the enemy and brought him to the
state Of believing himself beaten.

as does Alice Nichols-a paper such
as the "Nichols Journal"
No need to get mad, Senior girls,
that is if some one beats your time
ard gets the bow you intended to take

some other girl invites him, you can
go to the said girl about it and you
may be sure she'll cancel the invite.
