guns. This nation has loaned "France |7j.»00,000,000 for just this purpose, equipping fterself for defense against the Huns, and if she has found a more effective weapon than we have, there S~is no shame in her supplying our sol'.V diers with them, and a lot of them.

In the mind of the Tribune, anyone who at this time wants to stop in our war preparations to argue the pro and •h-

con of our methods, is making a big mistake, if he is not guilty of graver things. Any one who switches his poiK.. sition from a stand squarely behind

VACCINATING SOLDIERS.

The Tribute correspondent at Hattie.sburg says that all of the soldiers .'t1:ere are undergoing re-vaccination. ,'Out in th^ wide civilian world there is K- no check on the finti-vaccinationist, I but in the army there does not seem to be much room for him. The.army 'considers that science has justified vaci ^cination, which recalls that while Sur-geon-general Gorgas' report on health in the military camps shows that earlier reports were too optimistic, there is still much in the sanitary conj, dition of the campr ro be thankful for.

MISCHIEF.

The Tribune believes that the American people have too muoh good sensa to become panic-stricken because the present senatorial investigation shows that some of the parta of the war department was not prepared for war. We were not at war until April of this year, and any warlike conduct on our part would have belied our neutrality and would have destroyed our case before the court of the world,

Uedill McCorrriickf congressman, seems to be the chief manipulator of this alarmist sentiment. His loRic that •we should have been piling up big guns during the months of our neutrality cannot be accepted. These "second guess" critics And the people unresponsive to their very obvious plan to stir up criticism of the conduct of the war, whatever their motive is.

The public knows pretty well what a big Job has come upon this nation the public knows that we were a non- *_ militaristic nation the public knows \that tiie minds of our people were directed to every enterprise excepting v ar, and for the utter conversion of these conditions we know is a tremendous task. There is nothing to blush at, as McCormick suggests, in

iagitis. One was the lack of separate camps for new men. where they could be detained and the infected men discovered and isolated before the newcomers mingled with the men in camp The other was overcrow!ing in the tents

Both of these causes go back to the baste with which the camps and cantonments were set up. Work is being pushed with a view to supplying the deficiencies which the surgeon-general points out, and the lessons now learned will not be forgotten when future trifop movements are undertaken. F're&umably the polic\ for the future will be not to move men from their homes to camps more rapidly than the medical officers in each camp can handle them and weed out the infected recruits.

Walter Rathenau, head of the great electrical trust in Germany, throws lit lit on the fond situation in that, country. Herr Rathenau says the people of Germany and Austria have gradually apcustomed themselves to the discomforts of war. "Nobody would have been able to hold out if this catastrophe had overtaken us all at once," he says in an interview in a Swiss paper.

As matters now stand, the average German has to content himself with 60 per cent of his normal supply of food. "Just the same." says this authority, "they need not go hungry, and still less starve. They will be a little discontented, but will put up with It because they have to. Such will be the situation during the coming winter in Germany. There may be a few riots here and there, but ttyat is insignificant."

A "few riots" among his subjects mean nothing to the kaiser or the upper class aristocracy, even though these rio^s be caused by hunger. They will "put up with it because they have to." The rioters will be dispersed with cold steel and bullets, for so long as German soldiers obey orders to shoot down their own kin they will be subject to aucneone Capable of giving such orders.

In Tokio, Japan, the police have established new censorship rules to apply to moving pictures. Among the regulations is a requirement that no films shown to children shall depict anger, hate, cruelty, the commission of crime or the wanton destruction of property. -We do not know what the rules are in Belin, but a reading" of the two series of articles, "Conquest and Kultur" and "German War Practices," now running in the Tribune, leads naturally to the conclusion that a rule requiring the exhibition of all the kinds of pictures barred in Tokio would be the only logical policy for the kaiser. How else will German children learn to carry out the German military rule Whidh requires that innocent persons shall be shot as punishment for the guilty acts of others?

We are a queer people. Camouflage our news dispatches under such meaningless phrases as "Somewhere in France" aftd "An Atlantic port" and then publish to the world testimony that our army is without guns, our camps infested with sick-ness and our food administration crooked or inefficient. Is everybody crazy?

The government discourages the giving of gold for Christmas presents this year. Crisp new bills, shiny silver. Liberty bonds or thrift stamps will answer, however.

Germany is not only fighting armies she is fighting peoples by the most insidious methods. The Russian people broke down before the Russian army did.

No doubt the kaiser would like to use the drys and suffragists in the United States, as he used the Bolsheviki in Russia, to break up our attack.

If the shipping board was as prolific in ships as it is in quarrels and resignations, the country would have no complaint.

Our submarines ought to be turned loose in the North sea, where there are German subs waiting to be rammed.

Of course, Germany is not hungry, but the first thing she asks for in trade with Russia is food.

Among the social events arjnounced for Christmas week is an eclipse of the moon.

Uranus is in a place today whicK is held to encourage all sorts of cults, giving many evil theories power to sway and to convince.

Saturn is exceedingly th^atening to the aged and to all who have tne point of view that advanced ears bring.

The planets soem to presage a period of the most unsettled and changeable opinions, owing to the fact mat the sway of the stars encourages a suggestibility of mind. It is a sway encouraging to national discontent and to criticism of ruler#.

This day is most propitious for lovers, making for admiration, enthusiasm and demonstrativeness.

While this configuration prevails romances with persons who are affluent and successful are supposed to be brought about. In the evening association v/ith men of exalted position or rank is believed to bring about great benefits.

The bestowal of presents today is especially lucky for both giver and recipient.

Astrologers foresee difficulties for leather dealers and manufacturers of leather goods, who will meet with extraordinary obstacles.

The n?w year approaches with a strong menace of internal disorders in the United States, and warning is given that agitators will cause serious trouble In all parts of the country, especial ly in the west and south.

In this connection the indication of growing race troubles is strong, and wire should be taken to prevent injustices or wrongs that may incite riots or uprisings.'

Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of an active and prosperous year. Employees will benefit.

Children born on this day are likely to be successful all through lif". These subjects of Capricorn usually love luxuries, which they are able to acquire.

According to astrology this is a day of contending influences. Uranus^ Saturn and Neptune are in malefic aspect, while the sun and Venua are friendly.

Under this sway ministers and teachers are likely to encounter a spirit of resistance to argument, criticism and doubt.

Thera is a sign read as presaging religious troubles, in which there will be a campaign of misrepresentation and prejudice.

Advance guards. (Continued). To afford protection to an infantry column, the country must be observed on each side of the road as far as the terrain affords positions for effective rifle flre upon the column. If the country that it is necessary to observe be oien to view from .the road, i"econnaissance is not necessary.

The advance guard is responsible for the necessary reconnaissance of the country on both sides of the line of march.

Special reconnaissance may be directed by the commander of the troops or cavalry may be reconnoltering a considerable distance to the front am flanks, but this does not relieve the advance guard from^the duty of local reconnaissance.

This reconnaissance is effected patrols sent out by tne leading subdivisions the advance guard. In a large advance guard the support commander orders the necessary reconnaissance.

Patrols hould be sent to the flanks when necessary to reoonnoiter a specified locality and should rejoin the column and their proper subdivision aa soon as practicable.

Typographical Union Sends Many to ont

A booklet has been issued by the international Typographical union, giving the names of 1.51S1 members of that organization who are now in naval and military service in the United States and Canada. It is estimated that at lea.n 500 additional members nave been called Jy the draft since the issue of the booklet, and that several hundred printer's apprentices are also in the service.

The executive council of the organization has subscribed $60,000 to the Liberty Loan fund, and it is estimated that the individual members have subscribed upwards of $2,000,000 to the first and second issue of the bonds. Fifty-five members of the union have been killed upon the Toreign battlefields, and $17,026 was paid to the widows and orphans of these members.

Local Typographical Union No. 76 as a union subscribed $400 to the Liberty Bond issue, and the individual members subscribed $3,850 more. Six card holders of the local organization are in military service and five apprentices. The card holders now in the service are Thomas N. Murphy, Louis M. Graft, Joseph Deasee, Claude D. Patheal, Ralph Weber and D. C. McClean. The apprentices to enlist are Robert D. Hieklin, Temple Slemons, Henry Marien, Hermsui-Canine and Eugene Coleman.

OLD OFFENDER FINED.

May Williams' Return Engagetvtent in City Court Costs $50 and May Williams appeared in City Court Friday afternoon to answer for her fourth offense on statutory charges, in the other* cases judgment had been withheld. Tuesday afternoon the woman wai lined $50 and coats and sentenced to serve thirty days in the woman's prison.

Chester Perry was bound over to the Circuit Court for a grand jury investigation. It is alleged that he endeavored to force an entrance'to the residence of Mrs. John Jackman, 309 North Eighth street.

James Alay was fined $25 and costs on a charge of carrying concealed weapons.

UNIFORMS FOR PRO-GERMANS.

Editor of the Tribune—I see an article in the" Manufacturers' Record which suggests that all pro-Germans be given uniforms. This suggestion might be taken up by the county council of defense. It seems to be that such uniforms would clear up the atmosphere and save the pro-German from a lot of embarrassment and maybe later on, much inconvenience.

BY CRUISER CONVOY

Torn to Pieces and Crew Made Prisoners After Sinking of Old Warship Chateau Renault.

PARIS, Dec. 22.—A statement by the ministry of marine, concerning the sinking of the old French cruiser Chateau Renault, says that the warship with several other vessels was attacked by a submarine in the Ionian sea at 7:15 o'clock on the morning of Dec. 14. Continuing the statement says: "The torpedo struck on the starboard side in the region of the stokehold, which it flooded, and at the same tim* bursting steam pipes which stopped the engines. The captain at once manned the hand steering gear anil steered so as to utilize the momentum jof the ship and approach the shore, which was in sight. Passengers and the crew were ordered to their boat stations at the sound of the explosion. Torpedo boat destroyers, which formed a part of the convoy, dashed in the direction from which the torpedo has come and volleyed shells at the spot where it was presumed the submarine had submerged.

Submarine Destroyed.

"While the boats were being lowered from the Chateau Renault, the enemy submarine came up on her left. The cruiser had sunk to her «run ports, but nevertheless the gun crew remained at their posts and opened a hot fire on the submarine which promptly dived. A ssecond torpedo was fired shortly after, and struck the Chateau Renault on the starboard side forward. She sank by the head, a few minutes after the captain got aboard a patrol boat. All passengers were saved, but ten members of the crew are missing and are supposed to have been killed by the explosion. "Tlie torpedo boat destroyers, overloaded with survivors, renewed the attack on the submarine under water and then on the surface when she appeared for an instant only to submerge again precipitately under fire of the guns of the destroyers. Two seaplanes then bombed her. The submarine probably had been struck by a shell so as to make it impossible for her to remain submerged for she appeared once again and was immediately covered by a rain of shells. One of her gunners was swept overboard by a shell while in the act of aiming his piece and all the others Jumped into the sea while the submarine sank like a stone, torn to pieces by French guns. The prisoners number 22, among them the captain of the submarine and two officers."
