.NOT OIH WAR, S.VVS HERMAN
SOLD IKK
"Force of circumstance led me
to know and gain the confidence of
a very few of tie soldiers of the
line. Their fate seemed almost as
pathetic as that of the Belgians.
The}- would implore me to use mv
influence to get them across the
border to Holland; they would
ask me if I did not know some
way b£ which they might reach Am
erica, where wif$ and children
might in happier times join them."
asserts one of Hoover's helpers,
John A. Uade, of the Belgian Relief
Commission, in the October Heart's
Magazine.
"They could not, as their of
ficers telephone from the very
trenches to wives in any part of
liermauy. I remember one poor
devil who had stood for over two
years in the nasty fog, under a
damy railroad bridge, ordered to
keep the Belgian children from
sailing their shavings down the
canal. 1 asked him one da,r how
he liked the job. Something queer
came into his face when he told
me He had eight children of his
own at home, to whom he had tried
to give all the toys ie could afford.
'No, it Isn't our war,' he answered,
like many others it is the Officers',
and we are only treated like cat
tle: '
"Their quartering uoon the popu
lation was the greatest of the
smaller harships the peasants and
burghers had to endure. They never
ate with their landlords unless
special arrangements had been madJ^
but aad to be given a decent room
and clean bed-linen. So that no
one could escape his '*al cochon,"
they are called, every house
Dwner was forced to place an easily
legible placard by his front door
stating the number of adults and
*nildren belonging to the house.
>ts capacity for taking one or sev
eral "cochons' would then be de
ermined by the German commij
iariat. Many of the poor soldiers,
•easant lads themselves, were as
mbarrassed 83 their hosts were
nfuriated by the forced lodgement."|
UXRLES EDWARI> Ul'SSEL EX
PLAIN'S RUSSIA
"They keys to the Russian ponu-1
il play are, after an. simple,
ud to be found In simple events,"
iys Charles Edward Russel, who
ag gent by Prseident WiUon with
le American Commission to new
ussia. Here is one such simple
,-ent as he gives it in the Oc
ber isaue of Heart's Magazine:
"There to a place on the Trans
>ierian Railroad called Passing
>int Number 37, a brown little
eck on the illimitable emptiness of
a Siberian plains. On the 23d I
May there came marching up to
a orocessiou of farmers — about
rty of them, I think—carrying '
4 llJigs, Tbe£ tramped solemnly '
along what is Sibrela, by a violence
oX speech, is called a road, an;l is '
in fact not otherwise than a trail
of ruts ia black-gumbo mud. '
"A passenger train jvas coming
from the east, from Vladivostok. At
Passing Point Number 37 it took
the sidetrack to wait for the train
it sva'j to me«t. Of a sudden the
processionists were seen to line up
in front of the baggage car, to
fall upon their knees there, to lift
their bands in attitude of prayer,
the while they uttered btrauge, wail
ing cries and many; wept.
| "What were they crying about?
They bad learned that in that bag
gage car were the ashes of a Rus
sian revolutionist, aa old-time bero
of the long, long struggle. He had
been condemned by the Czar to oue
of the worst prisons of coldes Si
beria; be bad managed to escape
and in the cud to get to America.
There he died, aud his body was
cremated. No>v his ashes iu a drap
ed memorial urn were being car
ried in state back to that free Rus
sia he had dreamed of and suffered
for. But note:
"Of thQ peasants that fell on
their kuees before that handful of
dust that day, about one-half
could not read. All ot them, you
might think, lived in a region far
ther from the world and its af
fairs than is Cape Nome from the
Bowery. Yet all of them knew
well enough the name of this dead
hero and all his deeds, and in
stinctively all knelt before his
ashes that they might testify at
once their revereuce for him and
the fervor of their own revolution
ary faith.
"But what did that procession
mean, wandering red-flagged along
the black ruts of lonely Siberia?
it meant that the peasants were
making a 'demonstration.' Demon
stration about what? Why, if you
will believe me, against the Austrian
Government's sentence of death
against Frederick Adler, slayer of
the Austrian prime-minister.
"And there you are; that la
Russia. Also, you may see In thia
Incident how deep in the heart
of every peasant and toiler are
at least the rudiments of the Revo
lution's creed.
MARSHAL DIES FROM WOUNDS
Seward, Oct. 4.—Night Marshal
Charles H. Wiley, who was ehot
Tuesday afternoon by Guy T. Dor
ity, the man who ran amuck at the
Hotel Overland, died this morn
ing at five o'clock in the Seward
hospital.
Wiley had been conscious almost
up to the time of his dea'h and it
was at first thought that his lite
could be saved but a turn for tfh$
worse yesterday afternoon proved
•here was little chance and from
about eight o'clock last ©veil
ing he gradually got weaker and
death followed this morning.
Charles H. Wiley was 4 6 years
of age, bis place of birth not being
learned at this time but his moth
er and a widowed sister live at
Los Bonas. California. Previous to
coming to Seward he w-as employed
with the Grand Trunk system at
Fort George, from which place he
went to Los Bonas and established
a home for his mother and sister.
Wiely came to Seward at the be
ginning of construction of the gov
ernment railroad for whom he
worked up to the time he w-as en
gaged by the city as night marshal
in April of this year.
"Charley," as he was familiarly
known, was a man who used good
judgment in his work, inasmuch as
he was neither rough nor overbear
ing. but if the chance or warning
went unheeded he did his duty as
was rquireed of him.
He w-as of powerful build a man
whose place "will be hard to fill
and his untimely death and the
manner in which it came is a
shock to the community. Always
he was of the belief that it "was
his duty to protect other; and in
its fulfilment he knew no fear and
for danger he cared less when he
thought it way for the welfare of
others. He went to his death "do
ing his duty." which he thought 1
was right and just.
The body has been prepared for
burial but will be held until word is'
received from his relatives, when
in all probability it will be ship
ped to Los Banos for interment.
LOST JOYS.
A great deal of life is lost in
getting ready, as is commonly
believed, to live. To scorn de
lights and shun joys and live
dreary, weary, laborious days;
to bind oneself to an unceasing
and un:hjrg:r.; routine tor the
sake of amassing money that
some time, in a dim and ab
stract future, ona may begin to
live, is simply to attempt the
tasU of building a superstructure
without a foundation. — Lilian
Whiting.
