CONGRESSMAN BARNHART'S VIEWS.

• In a letter written to his editorial friends of the district, Congressman Barnhart gives his opinion of election* result causes, tells of the pleasures and displeasures of the Congressional office and expresses his gratitude for many favors. Among other things, he nays: "In my defeat I have nothing but gjatitude and everlasting good will to my frends throughout the district for having made the loyal light for me they did, against great odds, on election day. As I look it, our defeat is due to elements ' of discontent of various war necessdties. Those who were peeved because of the drafting of their boys, or of food, fuel or liquor control, or of taking over public utilities, or of the prices too high or too low to suit them, or of helping finance the war, and the pro-Ger-mans all joined the republican leaders in a wholesale campaign of misrepresentation of President Wilson’s appeal for the election of a congress that would with bim. This combination won, although no United States President was ever before embarrassed so Bn war time. But I have been so highly and so many times honored and have been treated so liberally , by both my party and others, in W* Republican district, that I take uny defeat complacently and with no serious regret. I have bad unusual opportunities to come in touch with the great activities and the great men of our Nation and feel well paid for any sacrifice

I may have made in holding the office. The pleasure that my national position gave to my dear wife and the satisfaction it gave to my children and my friends have all been worth while and I feel that I can never repay friends like you and many, many others for helping me to this good fortune. I am ambitious to be a good fellow the balance of my time and try to return some of the favors that have been shown me and if 1 can do this, 1 believe I can sit on my front porch, as the evening shades of life approach, and feel a self-satisfaction and a comfort given by kindly fate, to few men.” —Starke County Democrat.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

I often hear 4 fellow say, when pointing to a neighbor, “I really think that idle jay should do some useful labor. He tramps the village selling books, and boring thus his betters; and in these times of war, gadzooks, we have small use for letters. He ought to beg or steal a hoe, and work out his salvation, and make a hill of spinach grow, to help to feed the nation.” Perhaps the neighbor's wearing bells, as on his path he's drifting; perhaps the clothbound books he sells are loyal and uplifting. It well may chance his helpful tomes inspire some husky critter to go and- cleave some Teuton domes, and make the kaiser bitter. I’ve never found it safe or sane to judge the other fellow, to say his motives all in vain, or that his course is yellow. We all can’t labor with our hands, with energy untiring; we can’t hew wood or till the hands, or keep the forge fires burning. For some must clerk and some must preach, or run the railway station, and some must take their clubs and teach the rising generation. The doctor cannot leave his sick who look to him for healing, because some loud offensive hick of slackers still is spieling. Before I’d throw out some ' hints, or> whisper things abusive, I’d have to have the charts and 1 prints and diagrams conclusive.

Every farmer wno owns his farm ought to have printed stationery with his name and the name of hit postoffice properly given. The prln* ed heading might also give th« names of whatever crops he special izes in or his specialties in stock Neatly printed stationery gives you personality and a standing with any person or firm to whom you writ* insures the proper reading oi your name and address.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

U. S. WARNS OF FOE PROPAGANDA TO SOFTEN PEACE

Hun Agents Active Throughout Nation, Says Department of Justice. TOHGHTTHEPROPAGANDISTS Enemies Take Cue From Official Pleas From Germany for Leniency In Armistice and Final Peace Terms. Washington, Nov. 19.—Government agents see evidences that German propaganda machinery in the United States is being put in working order again to promote sentiment of leniency toward Germany in peace terms. Consequently, department of justice officials warned that the public should remain watchful against resumption ®f organized propaganda by lnterests«formerly actively pro- z Gernian, and for the last year passive. Concerted movement is apparent, officials say, in utterances of many, individuals, a few organizations formerly active for German interests, and some newspapers. There is no organized leadership, it is believed, but local interests have taken their cue from official pleas from Germany for leniency in armistice and final peace terms. To Fight Propagandists. The interest of the government agents combatting enemy propaganda at this time is not to suppress free expression of opinion, it is explained, but to fight any concert of propagandists whose purpose would be to confound the authorized spokesmen of the nation in forthcoming peace negotiations. Officials say during the reconstruction period, there may be considerable danger from’ enemy propaganda working to make the nation forget Germany’s course during the war. Illustrating the attitude that the war and its dangers are not yet over, it is stated that department of justice agencies have o’rdered the internment of some .Germans since the armistice was signed a week ago. Huns Active in Mexico. Official reports show German representatives in various parts of the world still actively engaged in spreading propaganda to create and enhance feeling of hostility toward the United States and the allied countries. Eckhardt, the notorious German ambassador at Mexico City, again Is reported doing his utmost to make Mexico hostile to the United States and is able to have misleading articles published in the semiofficial Mexican papers. Recently he had published throughout Mexico that the - German army had not been defeated .and that the German navy was still fighting the allied navies.

ALSATIAN DEAN KILLED BY JOY

Pastor at Mulhausen Falls Dead When French Enter City. * Mulhausen, Nov. 19. —No words can picture the triumphal entry of the French troops into this city nor express the wild Joy of the people who crowded the streets to applaud their liberators. Flowers, tobacco and cockades were thrown to the soldiers as they marched along. General Ilirschauer, who i.s a native of’Mulhausefi, headed his troops. Men and wiffnen rushed forward and piously kissed the folds of the flag borne by the Three Hundred and Fortyfourth infantry. The cheers of the populace grew until the troops arrived at the city hall, where the city authorities welcomed General Hlrschauer and his staff. The joy of the populace was saddened when Reverend Cotti, the dean of Mulhausen, was overcome by emotion at the official reception to the French officers, and dropped dead. He had been for many years a champion of the French cause in Alsace.

SOLF BEGS ENEMY FOR MERCY

Wireless Asks Elucidation of Armistice Conditions. London, Nov. 19. —A long wireless dispatch, signed by Doctor Sols, the German foreign secretary, addressed to the American, British, French and Italian governments, has been picked up here. The dispatch asks fpr elucidation, “in a modifying sense,” of the conditions o - the armistice concerning the left bank of the Rhine, without which “we shall Inevitably advance toward more or less bcjlshevlst conditions which might become dangerous to neighboring states.”

SOLDIERS TO BE BACK SOON

Rainbow Troops Not to Be Delayed by Occupation Duties. Washington, Nov. 19. —Inclusion of the Twenty-sixth and Forty-second (Rainbow) divisions in the Third American army, the “army of occupation,” as announced In cable dispatches, will not materially postpone the return of those organizatlonsfo this country, in the opinion of army officials. It Is believed here that the composition of the force to occupy territory evacuated by the enemy is temporary. .

THE BLUE TRIANGLE ON BABEL’S TOWER

Lucia pulled bet shawl farther across her face and shrank down on the station platform bench as the solid blue figure suddenly bent down over her. Excitedly she shook her head tn answer to the question that she could not understand. She searched through her red plaid waist for the paper that Tony had folded into a little square and given to her. The writing on it, tn the English that Tony knew and she did not, told the house where she lived. Tony had explained It all to her that morning. He had told It to her again at the station. Them waving his hat, he had disappeared into the train with the rest of the men, and Lucia had been left standing oueside the gate. There were crowds of women pushing al) about her. They were weeping. So Lucia wept, too. Lucia had been betrothed to Tony in the old country. Five years before, with a long ticket for New York pinned into his inside pocket, her lover had left her. He wrote in every letter that he had made her a home in the, new country. Her dowry money had finally-provided her own transportation, and for two months Tony and she had been married. Then he had drawn a ticket with a number it, and this morning he had gone off to war. To the policeman Lucia told all these things in rapid Italian. Rut the policeman only talked back to her as rapidly in a language that was sot Italian. She followed him dumbly to headquarters. An hour later a woman wearing American clothes geatly began talking to her in beautiful Kalian. Italian Lucia was only one of thousands of foreign-born women, Syrians, Italians, Armenians, Russians, Lkhuauians, Polish, who, when the draft called their men folk to the American colors, asked in helpless confusion what it was all about. When would their men be back? What did people mean when they told them they waald receive money through the mail? Where could they find work that they knew how to do? Was there no one who could explain it all to them in their own language? The Y. W. C. A. was ready to offer assistance, but it would be of no value to offer it In English. Consequently it had to supply a corps of women who could talk to the foreign-born woman at her own door in the language that she was used to hearing in the homeland. To teach her English was as essential a factor in har Americanization as to find her a job. Therefore the 'war council of the Y. W. C. A. set out to find her English. A year before the war began In Europe, the leaders of the Young Woman’s Christian association foresaw just such a situation, and made ready to meet it. They studied the needs of the immigrant. They trained skilled American social workers to become familiar with the home habits and to speak the language of the Lett and the Hungarian and the Greek and the other foreign* mothers who brought babies and bundles over from Ellis island to Battery park.

The organization into which this experiment has developed was named by the Y. W. C. A. national board, "The International Institute for Yeung Women.” In terms which these weensn can understand, it is teaching the foreign-born how to sew and cook and care for the baby. To girls like Italian Lucia, whe eonfusedly lingered on the static® platforms when the draft trains pulled out, the W. Y. C. A. Is giving direct assistance. Educated European westen, appointed to the regular staff of ers at the camp Y. W. 6. A. Houses are able to talk to the drafted men in their own language, assist them in writing letters home, and lu. »r----ranging furloughs and little vieata to the camp. “The Home Information Service.fer Foreign Families of Enlisted Meu” is doing practical relief work fiw she wives and mothers. The purpose of the board Is to help the women folk left behind to understand where their boys are and how they are being treated; how they need home support and cheer, how to send them comforts, and to keep pace themselves by learning English and other things, so that when the boys come home they will not find their women still very un-American and out of sympathy with them. Food conservation bulletins have been translated into 18 or 19 languages. At the factories, and mansion plants interpreters are available for the nonEnglish speaking women by whom the real war industries of the country are being largely carried on. In 25 important cities Internationa] Institute Bureaus are training American and foreign women for full, time social service work vjith foreigners. Twentyfour trained women are employed on the national and district fie,ld staff of the Y. W. C. A. On June 15 th ere’were 105 trained women working at Americanization. When more than 75,000 Chicago men filled out their blue cards for ths September 12 draft. Gang,Luo Writ appeared at one precinet bringing with him Mrs. Gang Wong and the three, children. All five wished to The enrolling clerk explained, hut the Gang Luo Wongs make many broken Chinese remonstrances before the master of the family was induced to sign a card without his wife. Mrs. Wong could not speak English. What would his family do in a strange country if Gang Luo went"to war? All over the United States Chinese and Poles aad Serbs were asking the same question. It is to just such needs that the War Council of the Y. M. C. A. is organized to give assistance.

COLUMBIA, THE GEM OF THE OCEAN

O, Columbia the gem of the ocean, The home of the brave and the free. The ehrine of each patriot’s devotion, * A world offers homage to thee. Thy mandates make heroes assemble, When Liberty’s form stands in view. Thy banners uuake tyranny tremble. Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue. Chorus Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue, Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue, Thy banners make tyranny tremble. Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue. Whe<n war winged it’s wild desolation, And threatened our land to deform, The ark then of freedom's foundation, Columbia, rode safe thro’ the storm. With her garlands of vict’ry around her, When so proudly she bore her brave crew, With her flag proudly floating be- , fore her, Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue. Chorus Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue, Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue, With her flag proudly floating before her, Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue. Old Glory to greet now come hither, With eyes full of love to the brim; May the wreaths of our heroes ne’er wither, Nor a star of our banner grow dim; May the service united ne’er sever, But all to our colors prove true! The Army and Navy forever, Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue. Chorus Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue, Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue, The Army and Navy forever, Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue.
