JI.NtJLi: Safer the Smpirt of the Riti "Uo. On, or Go liiKk-r! SaM I -George TWO MONTHS have ftmi rhstl the British Premier utbied thi concrete opinion regarding tin position in which the Allies found themselves. Kussia had already su Bested the idea and had preferred t. "go under" instead of uniting against the common enemy. What Lloyd-George meant is too obvious to need explanation.

He told the Trade fnion delegates iu thos. words that the only way to peace is by war! Our President hud clearly enunciated the grave truth more than si. months previously, in language not so terse, and had thereby made himself the spokesman for the embatth.1 enemies of Prussian autocracy. But one is bound to like this Geoi -gian phrase and to carry it about in his memory. And, to my mind, there's much more in the theme than the Premier intended to express.

Well. England, France. Italy. Belgium, Portugal, Japan and the t'nited States are "going There's nothing else to be done. The defection of Russia is to Bus-sia's eternal disgrace as a people.

Sin has separated herself from the apparently possible assistance of her former Allies, but not from their sympathies. Emerging from a sluvery more bitter than that which prevented any progress among the negroes of the Southern States of our own country, Hie great mass of the Russian people cannot "find themselves" any more than could 4.000,000 liberated slaves in tin United States. Very much as the American negroes got into the clutches of a tyrannical, overbearing lot of "carpet-baggers" belonging to the dominant party I am Talking as a Republican of those days and before 1 saw clearly the suddenly liberated Russians have become the slaves of a new group of tyrants, hardly less unworthy and heartless than the Czar-dom and its bureaucracy from which they so unaccountably escaped. There isn't any mystery about present conditions in Russia. That exactly etmilar conditions did not follow-in this Republic in 1876, when a man not elected to the highest office in the nation was seated, Is an undying memorial to the credit of Samuel J.

Til-den, who clearly foresaw wdiat another revolution in this country would mean. If the late William E. Chamllei has left "Memoirs," as I havo good reason for believing, the truth about the purchase of tile Louisiana electoral vote, may he told. I was well acquainted with Senator Chandler and have my own reasons for believing tliii conscience was not wholly dead in his breast. Some day we shall comprehend how far the American people have outgrown blind fidelity to parly Interests in forty years: Acts regarded as "honorable" and "matters of duty to party" in 1S76 and thereafter are today looked upon as dishonorable yes, as almost treasonabl, to the great massr of the American people, whoso interests have come to lie recognized a above mere party policy.

It is not such a far cry from a national to an international situation. Is It believable that any President, owing his election to and mentally dominated by the admittedly few ret regressive. Republicans who have no-changed their spots since 1876 or would have asked Congress in join with tho Entente Allies to make the world free? Would he have used language similar to the immortal words of President Wilson, when he said: "To such a task; we can dictate oui lives and fortunes, everything that wi arc and everything that we have. with the pride of those who know that the day nas come wnen America is privileged to spend her blood anil her rniffht for tho principles that gave tier uirtn nnri nappmess, anci ti peace which she has treasured." Personally, I would go as far as wisli the Lloyd-George aphorism were stamped upon our coinage. course, "We trust in God." That goes without saying.

1 am sure the Almighty would approve of the substitution of "Go On, or Go Under!" for the four now struck upon our coins. A Cod respecting President, long ago, had the good sense to order the removal or 'in uoa wo Trust from the nickels, doubtless regard ing the cheap hyprocity of Its presence there as unwortny or a great people. To me It always appeared like the family prayers I was compelled to hear in childhood, which were chiefly devoted to telling the Almighty how tremendous He was, and a multitude of other details with which He must have been entirely familiar. As I grew older those prayers always reminded me of the ancient maiden who for fifty years made exactly the same -confession of an early indiscretion "because she liked to think about it." As a boy, I often wonder. if the benflccnt Giver of All Blessings wasn't as much bored as I what the anti-Germanic nations of this world must, do! It is a Christian war and can Idame the Mohammedans or the Hindus for feeling lukewarm over the embroilment.

With Japan the case is different. From a religious viewpoint, Japan Is one of the most liberal countries in this world. Shintoism is the native religion; but every known faith (ex- cr-iit Mormor.ism, v. th pcly gam attributes) is welcomed and given free It is quite possible the Buddhists and Confucians of China, the Hin dus of India, the Mohammedans of I half the Eastern -world and the Firo Worsh nners of Persia see tne tin ei.i gigintic strife an utter collapse of 1 1 i st i a 1 1 and rejoice tnereat. Nothing could be more natural.

Islamism twice tried to destroy the Christianity of Central and Western Europe, but failed; may not its "true believers" assume that Allah has undertaken the task himself and will make a clean job Possibly they have heard of the Cats of Kilkenny, and do not realize the weakness of the simile when used for a eompaiison so stupendous. That. Christianity is on trial few of our pulpit expounders appear to visualise. Iu order that my point regarding the exclamation of Lloyd-George be not lost, I desire, before concluding this Talk, to ask every reader of this column to take the five words to heart nnd to apply them to himself or herself.

March 11 The initial mule show sine, arrival of the troops here was held by the Second Pioneer Infantry, formerly the Fourteenth Infantry, on Saturday. Brigadier Gen-eral Carleton, commanding the Provisional Depot for Corps and Army Troops, was the judge and it is needless to say that everybody was well pleased with his decisions.

Bell of the supply company.

The entries passed ill review before the judges stand and were subjected to the severest kind of apectton by General Carleton, as Brigadier General E. I.eroy Swectster, Colonel James It. Howlett, commander of the regiment, nnd a number of other officers in the reviewing stand looked on. The prizes were warded to the best-groomed mules and In making ids selections 'General Carleton also took into consideration the cleanliness of the harness and wagons. In addition to ribbons awarded, foltm.l Howlett donated cash prizes to the winners.

He said that the division stands among the highest in the country. In discussin his work at Washington, Captain Tupper said: "There is one thing I am glad to be able to report, and that is that from now on there will bo no more delays in the payment of monthly allotments. There was some confusion and inevitable delays at, first, due to various causes, but this has all been remedied, and from now on every check will be mailed out promptly at the end of each month. Officers and men need have no uneasiness on that ecore." Captain Tupper was in possession of a letter of praise from Secretary w. g.

McAdoo, which he prises very highly. It ia dated February LS and follows: "My dear Captain Tupper: "On behalf of the Treasuiy Department and the Bureau of War Risk Insurance I want to thank you for your whole-hearted and unselfish work In the Government war insurance campaign. "As the officer in charge of insurance at Gamp Wadsworth, you planned and directed a vigorous and highly successful campaign. In launching the national-wide effort for Government insurance, this plan proved most valuable. "I am not unmindful of the real sacrifices entailed by your coming to Washington, but I am sure you will find satisfaction in the realization that your campaign work on the Officers' Board was In no small measure responsible for the splendid success achieved.
