By Ken at til L Roberts

—Koelnisohe Volks-Zeitung.
What is the Prussian sword? A
flaming blade
That leaps untarnished from its
jeweled sheath
At:d strikes for truth, 'iiul honor's
laurel wreath—
A glorious weapon. strong and
unafraid?
Ah co! The Prussian sword is but
a name
For taet'es foul and1 agencies ob
scene;
Fi r Ttoison L-as and ruthless Bub
marine;
For cowards' blows aJid deeds of
burning shame;
For nurses smitten down at Mercy's
post;
• ' "ted wells aati sunken. Red CrojJ
ships,
\nd food snatched out of starving
children's I'pe.
\ua crimes that hell would hesitat
to boast!
T'-e Prussian sword' Is treacher
ard lust:
God srant that it be trampled in the
dust! 1

Several forest fires were reported

who came udoii the incipient flames.
It in inconceivable how any one
Mi an ounce of sense, or the least
consideration for the rest of the
world, even if their sense of fit"
■pst of thiuss or love of beauty is
su dimmed that they cannot realize
timmt-nse dumage their criminal
C' relessness may cause, will go out
'nto the mountains and cause so

The matter is now being looked

THE Vl'KON ELECTION'
*fter the first report of the
House of Commons elections com
mittee on the Yukon. election had
lie^a referred back for amendment,
tho committee found Dr. Thompson
was for the present entitled to his
^eat. Legislation has been intro
duced t>y the minister of justioe
'o restore to Mr. Congdcn the legal
remedy which he lost because the
election return was delayed. If
therefore Dr. Thompson is illegally
elected he can not hold the Beat.
But the committee saw no reason
wh7 it should' throw out the whole
soldier vote of the Yukon, and de*
c'are Mr. Congdon entitled to the
seat on the vote of the men who
stayed at home.—Vancouver Pro

After The War
By Kenneth L. Roberts.
Plying their nightstick^ freely, a
squad of policemen forced their way
through a howling .shrieking mob.
dragging their prisoner with them.
Fists ware brandished wildly, cane*
?ud umbrellas rattled) on the police
mei 'a helmets, and an occasional
brick whistled past the ear of thr
cowering, pallid creature in their
chitche«. - '
The reporter spied the tumult
'rom afar, and bore down on the
tncb at full speed. 11 -J
"What's the excitement?" he in
quired. placing his hand on the
arm of an enraged citizen who was
malting ready to hurl a beer bottle
at tlte prisoner. "What did the
man do? Is be ft thief, or did? he
insult a woman?"
The enraged citizen wrenched
himself free from the reporter's
grip and hurled' the beer bottle fer
ociously. "Kill him!" he howled.
"Kill him!"
Shrugging his shouldere, tile re
porter pushed hla way deeper into
the press. "What did the man
do?" he aslred an elderly gentle
ma„ with white mutton-chop wli"
kers who was making determined
but futile attempts to hit the pris
oner on the head with a gold-heade
cane. "Was he caught setting f
to a department store or planting
a bomb in the railroad station?"
"Worse than that!" exclaimed
the elderly gentleman hoarsely.
"Stand back and give me elbo'
room! I w&nt Just one Swing
this loathsome thing!"
Realizing the futility of ques
tioning the elderly gentleman furth
er the reporter pessed' o nuntil he
reacutd one of the policemen.
"What is it? Murder?" he asked'
hopefully, displaying his reporter's
badge.
"N'aw!" replied thei policeman sur
reptitiously prodding the cowering
captive in the ribs with his night
stick. "Nothing- as harmless as
that! The poor fool used to be in
the German army, and he was show
ins people an iron cross he receiv
ed- for fighting in Belgium!"
The reporter's face was con-ruleed
with rage and incredulity. As the
moo swept down the street, he was
^ep,, to pick up a cobblestone ar
fi"hf for an opportunity to get in
the knock-out blow.
CHURCH FLAG CHOSEN BY
WAR-TIME COMMISSION*
ln recognition of the peculiar
solemnity and natlonnal significance
cf religious services, at the present
hour and in response to & wide
sDre:i(l demand thruout the country,
the General War-Time Commission
of the Churches has selected a
church bflag, which, it recommends
that the churches use as a symbol
of their patriotic purpose to fur
ther oy their spiritual force the
great cause of democracy to which
our country has dedicated its arms.
This flag may be retained after the
w:r as a flag representing the
Ch'.:rch, a flag of worship and of
service, to be used whenever it is
deemed appropriate by the churches
This flag nay be obtained in two
pattern. One, a triangular white
pennant with a blue cross in the
center, is the regulaiton church flag
of the American Navy. it is the
custom to fly it during divine ser
vie?- just above the American flaj;
and on the same staff. It is the
only flag which may be so flown.
The Commission has obtained" per
mission from the Navy Department
for 'ts use by the churches in a
similar manner. The other pattern
is a rectangular which flag with
a blue cross in the center. This
is recommended particularly for
dropin/ within the church itself.
Both flags can be used' for draping
within the church, but only the
pennant should be flown from "
vertical flagpole.
C' VSl VLTY SEARCHERS WANTED
15V THE RK1> CROSS
An unusual opportunity for war
service has come to clergymen and
to Christian laymen, according to
tne Rev. Clyde F. Armitage, of the
Federal Council of th« Churcl
Tlu> American Red Cross has sent
out a call for thirty-five men, who
must be a1»ve draft age, Ameri
can citizen* of undoubted' loyalty,
ao<i not born in any country with
which we are at war.
These volunteers will be known
as "casualty searchers." They are
to secure information that will se
cure information that will Supple
ment the meager details concerning
wounded and' missing men which
are recorded by the War Depart
ment. These *'casua]ty l searchers"
*sill visit the sick and wounded!,
gatherin informaton concerning
theii condition, their Service, and
if,! n
I
their Unfinished bUisinose at home,
s'fH conveyiug this information thru
the War Department's Bureau of
Communication to the men's rela
tives in America.
When a mam is missing the
searcher does all that h0 can to
find out from the soltMer's com
rade© where he was* last seen, what
condition he was in, and that mess
ayes ) e left. "This is a most merci
ful and helpful work, and will
m»iui in thousands of instances
more than can ever be estimated to
the wounded man and» to hls<
friends," said a representative of
the Federal Council. "The value of
this work has already been proved
n the British aijmy."
Everybody Is Hooverlzlng.
"How things have changed!" said
the man as the.v left the Joneses,
where they had beeu playing: cards.
"Yes, indeedy," answered his wife.
"There was a time, and that not so
very long ago, when it would have
been bud form to talk of the cost of
the food set before you. But now the
person who can give you plensantitast
lng food at the least cost is the per
son most looked up to."
"Not only that," snld the husbRnd,
"but people who won't economize are
looked on as something too cheap for
words. You heard what they snld to
night about the Blunks, who ure 'sick
and tired of Hooverlzlng?' 1 tell you
this country is waking up. We have
got to feel and act alike these days."
"Well, I should hope so," said the
wife. "I'd like to know where we
would be if the boys over there got
'sick and tired of tichtlng for us.' The
Blanks, indeed!"
England's Birds Are Hungry.
In the gardens where no bird-taKi
attriu-ts its feathered pensioners tfea
silent absence of bird-life is a'nost
oppressive: hut the birds did not de
part before necessity compelled. Suyu*
times irriisi fate stalked in the ttlli
shrubbery whence now and again the
household cat has emerged: but more
often your f.r.Vi birds have migrated
afield because tliey had exhausted the
possibilities of their home. See down
the length of the garden wall a foot
wide space bad been absolutely cleared
of dead leaves by blackbird and thrush,
who hud losst-d them to one side la
their sennit for wintering insect life.
Look closer and yon will see that prob
ing bills have worked a little crevice
all the way between the earth and the
wall. See. every square inch of un
covered frozen ground is dusty from
the Innumerable pecks of hungry lit
tle beaks.—London Tin es.
