It is a mask that our masters use to cover up their (well). Patriotismt is a delusion. The capitalists and thetrl minions flaunt the Red, White and Blue as a trick to make us do their work and fight their battles. Tell me," he demanded, “what does the Ameri- can ting mean to a man like me?" “it means," spoke up a quiet voice . from the curbing,‘ that you can stand there and say what you are saying without interference: There are just two countries in the world with so much personal freedom that a man may stand up in public and denounce his country's flag They are the United States and Great Britain. Just non, though, it would be a mighty unhealthy thing for you to try it in England. if they didn't chuck you in- to jail, a .mob would wipe the pave- ment with you. So this is the only mo tion on earth, at this moment, where you can get away with that line of talk. ”We Americans are a tolerant lot. The flag stands for our tolerance. Now, go ahead!" The orator shifted shamefacedly to another topic, and his audience molt- ed away, he .__._-_... SCHOOL TEACHERS AND HlRED MEN ' Figures have ben compiled by Nor- man Frost of Beréa College, Ky., on the average salaries of school teach~ ers in the rural regions of the Blue Grass State. They have been issued in a recent report of the Federal Bureau of Education. in one mountain county of Kentucky , the average salaries run from $220 to A .8240 a year. in seven counties the ow erage is from $240 to $260. From this they run along up to one liberal. coun- ty which pays from $360 to $380, this hero; the upward limit. The average value of school build- ings in the Kentucky mountain region, says the reports, is correspondingly low. tin one county the average val~ no of scholjbulldings is less than $100. Some of them are of the log cabin variety with uuglassed windows. in 8 counties the value is from $200 to .3300. This runs up to one county ' whose luxurious school house cost the whole of 8900 .

So they have organized a regular university, and such courses as can be given with-’ out apparatus are in progress. Leoi lures are being delivered in the def-z partments of art, law, theology and commerce. There is also, runs the dispatch. a large preparatory school in which are enrolled great numbers of prisoners from other than the academic walks of life. it’s all admirable picture of ambition, industry and adaptability.

Banking as ‘a profession isn't what it is cracked up to be, according to figures submitted by Prof. lrving Fish- er of Yale University. Prof, Flatter is one of the active workers of the Life Extension insti- tute,, an organization of big men which aims to raise the average of hu man life by regularly cheCking up peo- ple's physical condition, and eliminat- ing disease tendencies before they be come hopeless. Of 2,000 New York bank clerks examined, he says. only 3 per cent. were from ”physical im- pairment or dangerous habits.” Al- though their average age was only 33 years, 13 per cent. of them had hard ening of the arteries. 5 per cent. had organic heart disease and 28 per cent. had kidney disease. Evidently bank employees are not so enviable as they look when seen through the paying tollerf's window, behind entrehchmentu of 'Breenbecks and stacks of gold. “Bankers' hours" are not altogether desirable, and the haudlins of much money is neither in- spiring nor salubrious. 'Men ct other occupations needn’t begin to plum themselves, however, on their superior health. Prof, Fisher may hand them a few disquieting star tistlcs one of these days. tin spite of the general advance of medicine and hygiene. there has been a lamentable increase of the “degen- eratice diseases"——particularly kidney troubles and diseases of the heart and circulatory system. Prof. Fisher gives the increase of deaths from such caus- es as 41 per cent. in 20 years. He es- timates. that by checking. these all- ments through preventive medicine and proper diet and habits, we could eav’sdn productive lives 10,per cent. as, much as the world's current econ- omic loss from the European war. ———-—O———-—-— “What’ll we have'to talk about when the wars over?" asks a read-er.

His “FaeIie Queens," for all its com bats and encounters, is, to those who love it, and wcarisome turmoil." Yet behind the gold of romance and the twilight of mysterious forests there lurks many a problem. Eliza- bethan England was beset with dif- flculties. Apparently one of these was a question as old as the ages. Radi~ gund was her name. She bore arms and armor, as women do in the “Faerie Queens,” and she did not play the rules of the game. Meeting Sir Artegall in single combat, she spent herself in uncontrolled attack. “laying on every side.” Her courage grow even as her strength failed: Radlgund - was unquestionably in earnest.

Correspond- ence of The Associated I'ress.)—-The kill as a soldier's uniform hasproved itself entirely superior to the trouser in the winter‘s hard campaign in France, according to an officer who writes home: “The only times We ever thought with even a tinge of regret on the trousers We almost forgotten how to wear have been when l've chanced to be on guard on' a (old breezy night, when the wind maliciously whistles round and about your legs; then you feel involuntm-lly almost that two thicknesses of cloth might be better than none. But the thought vanishes as soon as you are relieved and see the, guard room fire again. "i am told that the Canadian Scot- tlsh regiments treat their kill as a sort. of dress parade and put" on trousers when they go into the trench- es. This is a great mistake, for it ha in those very trenches that the kill shines. “lo instance, it's no uncommon thing rfor a trousered sediou who hate stood shivering on their plat- forms with their wot things clinging to their legs for twenty-four hours to see with a feeling of envy their kitt- ed comrades coming up through the water to relieve them with their ktlts tucked up high out of the wet, so that the exception of feet and putlees they can look forward to a comfortable and. all things considered, a warm time instead of a shivery one. For the kill, being exceptionally thick around the waist and loins keeps the whole body nice and warm, and if it does happen to get wet the constant swinging about tends to dry it quick- ly without a constant clammy con- tact with the legs. "0n the night of the tenth, for in- stance, we were taken about seven o'clock through a stream which came over my hips, but the kill was quite dry soon, and I felt no ill effects whatever from the wetting, although it was a bitterly cold night. "But it is on the march that one appreciates the kill" most. There is a delicious coolness as the wind strikes your knees that helps you along, and there is a sense of free- dom about the waist and shoulders that the trousered man will never feel. "When you are in billets on a hard wood or stone floor, all you have to do is to take off your kilt and spread it on the floor, then with your blan- ket starting from the bottom of it and brought forward again over your feet. you have a bed which keeps all the cold and hardness away. “In actuglmghting the moral" effect of the hilt is of value, dud its asco- ciations with hard and terrible light- ing are so well known and apprecia- ted that the very sight of bare knees and waving kills has an eflect on the enemy as well as on yourselves.

PETROGRAD, April 28. (Corres- pondence of The Associated Press.)— Among the relics of Przemysl, there has been discovered a complete file of the Kriegs Nachtrichtung, a local paper issued daily during the entire time of the siege under the super- vision of the Austrian commandant, General ‘Kusmanik. Up to Novem- ber 14. the date when the Russian investment was resumedQ—this Przem- ysi paper received its dispatches from Vienna by telegraph; after that it had to rely upon brief wireless mes- sages, bolstered up by military com- ment of the Austrian authorities, This paper shows how the spirits of the men were buoyed up by de- ceit and false hopes to the very day of the surrender. There is not in II single issue of the paper any men- tion made of the failing condition of the garrison or shortage of provis- ions, nor any inference that surren- der was imminent‘ or even possible. The Austrian soldier was apparently serenely perusing optimistic reports of German and Austrian successes on the very day the white flag sud- quarters. Early issues of the Kriegs Nach‘t- richtung reproduced telegrams from Cracow which tell of the “final col- iape of the Eurasian advance in Ga- licia." An issue of a later date com- mented on the loss of three English cruisers, stating "it is not improbable now that the whole English fleet will soon be sunk in the open sea." Russia had withdrawn her offer of autonomy to Poland and conveyed the remarkable intelligence that the Russian war minister had resigned and was to be replaced by General Linevitch, who had died some time before. Papers of‘tho same month announced that Przemysl was once for all free and reported that the Russians feared revolution in War- saw and Lodz. ‘ From the I'ith of November. do- the dispatches became more meagre, but still more optimistic. The Do- cember papers were principally 0c. copied with the miserable conditions of the Ruastan investing troops, .and reproduced personal letters from Rus- sian soldiers obtalnod’through the capture of a Russian mall train. Ac- cordlng to these accounts, driven to in; and by the‘ intense cold. many Russian soldiers were contemplating suicide. Further encouragement no denly was hoisted over stall head: A paper/0f October 3, stated that: pending solely upon wireless news,,. desperation by lack of food and cloth- » loam enrollments-1mm. opinion was the Przemysl had been "erected by the devil and could only be taken by the devil. " A continual literary diet of this sort persuaded the Austrian soldiers that all was going well for the ~Aus- trian forces in general and that Przemysl itself never could be cap- tured. in one of the last issues be- fore the surrender there was an ac- count of a charity lottery. and con- cert conducted for therelief of the civilian population of Przemw... One hundred thousand tickets were distri- buted and 1,688 prizes were awarded which had been contributed by mem- bers of the garrison. CAIRO, April 28.——Martial law has made it a dangerous matter for the peddlers of adulteruted liquor to at- tempt business near the British en- campments to Egypt. By proclama- tion. Lieni. General Sir J. Mabwell has empowered special officers toen- ter and inspect any establishment suspected of selling bad liquor within a radius of five miles of any place where British troops are stationed. Any person found selling adulterated or inferior alcoholic drinks is liable to imprisonment. fine and loss of ii- cense. . Egypt is in normal times filled with imitation liquors, wines and beers of such a poisonous nature that the drinkers go insane. Both the health and discipline of the troops was af. fected by this men'ace, now removed, in the early days of the war.
