This is the diary of a soldier fight
ing in the French Foreign Legion
against the Riffians. His day by day
story of the campaign is told in notes
hurriedly jotetd down by the light of
the bivouac fire when the sweating
march was over, the battle ended.
Those who seek glamour in war may
not find it here.
The soldier is Canadian. His
name need not be given. In the For
eign Legion names often mean little,
anyway. The recruiting officials ask
no embarrassing questions. They ac-
cept the name the man gives him
self. They do not try to probe the
past. They know it is frequently a
past which men wish to wipe out
on the field of battle.
When this Legionary entrusted to
me his little diary only a remnant
decorated for bravery remained OF
his battalion (the Sixth Battalion of
the First Regiment of the Foreign
Legion) which mad been sent to the
front when the war began. They had
seen almost constant fighting. The
diary does not cover all of that
period. The soldier gave up keeping
it after the first month.
The first month, however, tells the
story. We follow one of hundred
Thousand soldiers from his peacetime
barracks to the firing line. We see
the war beginning. After that the
date means little. The life at the
front which he records is typical of
the life he has led there since he
abandoned his diary. He spares HIM
self and us repetition. Monotonous
repetition is part of the picture of
war, but even a months campaign
ing furnishes enough for that.
; Many Nations Represented.
The diary begins with his rejoin-
ing the Legionnaires last October at
their main camp at Sid Bel Abbes
in Algeria (for he had enlisted once
before in the Legion). He tells of
his first impressions.
"The Legion IS composed of 70 per
cent Germans, theremainder chiefly
Russians, Poles, also fairly large
number of Frenchmen enlisted under
false names and false nationalities.
j Everybody is very reserved about
their past life. There is also fair
number of Italians. Each country
without exception has one or two of
its nationals under the flags of the
Legion. The Legionnaires drink as
heavily as ever, n0tz from habit, but
because of the troubles they have had
which they are trying to forget"

The amendment that conferred equal suffrage upon the
Whites and blacks active in the south only in far as
public opinion in the sections is behind the enforce

when to stay away and arm the federal law has made
the operation of equal franchise there perfect
Those lobbyists for the ratification who pin their faith

the south fail to read history accurately If they believe
that federal legislation will be any eficacious than
opposite has been Where the federal has
invaded states to regulate internal problems state auhor
ties have abaed their activities Local contact and control

Here in this state the growers of wheat are not satisfied
with the federal grain grading act They believe that it

some respects their complaints probably are we'll founded

similar situation could easily arise under the child

But. in my humble opinion, the
majority of our lawmakers had in
mind the conservation of our upland

the law proclaims that fact. be-
lieve that they hoped, by enacting
such q law, to curb the activities of
the "game hogs" who. shoot right and

limits or game laws; who kill merely
for the sport of killing, without

the desired results? l believe not

an effective way of curbing the actiy-
tiles of the "game .hog''-which it is

that there Is little less grouse

ADVENTURE OF

ON HEALTH
STOPPING BLEEDING

Twist the bandage until it is very
tight.
Do not attempt to remove dirt
from the wound until the bleeding
has stopped. -
Then pick out the dirt or gravel,
and wash the wound and adjoining
parts.
A small amount of carbolic acid
should be placed in the water, one
teaspono to the pint, or add two or
three teaspoons of table salt.
When the flesh is torn the parts
should be replaced as nearly as pos
sible before the edges are brought
together.
This will help to prevent an ugly
scar.

A WILD SCHEME

Any proposition to bond the state for ten million to pay
o depostors closed bank and to consolidate the functions
of the receiver of closed banks and the guaranty fund
mission should be promptly squelched Better repeal OF
the guaranty act which did guaranty deposits and
has always been deusion and sham. The fund is being
most competenty handled and expedtiousy pos
sibe in face OF the many problems that confront the
mission. sssM
Senator Baird receiver of closed banks has conducted
the affairs of the defunct institutions fairly, economically
and in way that establishes record in this state for
low costs of administration. If left alone, the affairs Of
these banks will be settled in relatively short time and
good be served by disturbing either the receiver
the guaranty fund commission at this time.
Gov Sorlie when interviewed decisivey declared that he
was against any more bond issues for this purpose In this
position he should receive the heartiest support.
