V. "Gone West"
w
Conditions in Germany The federal Committee on Public Information is being supplied regularly with copies of important newspapers published in Germany. A number of excerpts will be illuminating to our readers. In an address to the press correspondents, Herr von Waldow, the Secretary of the State for the War Food Ministry, gave an account of the prospects for the winter, summarized in the Hamburgischer Correspondent and the Munchner Neueste Nachrichten. The conditions of corn and other fodder were,
he admitted, rather difficult. The harvest would
fall below that of 1915, and it would require con
sideration to do justice to the competing require
ments of the army, of agriculture, of industry,
and of town traffic In the first line came, of
course, the needs of the army and the mainten
1 ance of agricultural production. A sufficient supply of fodder for agricultural draft horses
must be secured. It seemed probable that when this requirement had been fulfilled there would not be fodder sufficient for fattening swine and for sustaining horned cattle in their present numbers. Should that prove to be the case measures must be taken in time ; that is, before the beginning of the winter, to bring about a systematic reduction of the number of swine and horned cattle. The Magdeburgische Zeitung receives from its Dresden correspondent the "following report, derived from an authoritative source : The great expectations at first held of the harvest have unfortunately not been fulfilled. The great drought in May and June did considerable harm. Oats and barley "have failed ; rye and wheat reach a medium harvest. Particularly unfavorable is the harvest around Leipzig; in the hilly districts it is better. The potatoes offer the xbest prospects, so that they will cover the deficit in corn. The kohlrabi crop is bad ; the fodder harvest in general is also not specially good. On the other hand, the present rains will be very good for fodder roots. The Leipziger Neueste Nachrichten records an epidemic of dysentery at Herchenhain, in Upper Hesse, where seven persons died of it suddenly; and from an article in the Berlin LokalAnzeiger on the means to be taken against the disease, it appears that there is "a somewhat extensive epidemic" at Berlin. It is the same disease that is referred to in an account of intestinal
catarrh, from the Deutsche Medizinische Wochen-
schrift, as follows : "The simple intestinal catarrh, mostly unaccompanied by fever, predominates in North Germany; but also from Tubingen several cases are reported, whereas hospitals in Munich and Wurzburg testify to no increase above the normal. North German towns (Berlin, Halle, Leipzig, Bonn, Cologne) report a heavy epidemic-like in
crease; but whether dysentery is here in question can not be ascertained, for lack of bacteriological data. Most of the cases must be considered as a
From Cincinnati Enquirer
AS it dread of that harsh word "death," or the
ineradicable sense of humor, or that supernal consciousness of beauty in the soul of youth
which gave birth to that exquisite metaphor of the trenches, "Gone West?"
Death as the setting of a sun, a moon, or star! Noth
ing was ever finer, nothing ever lovelier, nothing ever
more consoling, for they set. to rise again. And so do the
souls of heroes. "I believe with all my soul; I know," ex
claimed Tolstoi at 80, "that dying I shall be happy I shall enter a world more real." And Victor Hugo once broke
forth in a sort of rapture: "I am the tadpole of an arch
angel!" Perhaps it was the same consciousness of an in
destructible something within these perishable hodies of
ours which made these glorious youths of the Flanders
front create, or at least give, such wide currency to a
phrase that can never die.
Measure, if you .can, the spiritual value of that
phrase in this grastly era of destruction and of death! To how many a soldier dying alone in "No Man's Land" it must have given hope. To what multitudes of those who mourn the loss of sons and brothers, husbands and lovers, it must have breathed a heavenly consolation. "He is
not dead, but sleepeth." He is not dead; his star has set to rise again. "He has gone. West!" If that imperishable hope which animates the heart of all Christendom is based upon reality (and there can no more be a great hope without some actual faundation
than there can be a shadow without a substance, or a quality without a substratum of being), it would be a memorable vision to see the ethereal spirits of those young gladiators escaping from their dead bodies, rising into the air and "Going West!" We have seen in golden autumns, while the breezes shook the tree tops and agitated the. grasses in the mead
ows, myraids of feathery, buoyant, gossamer-like seeds released from their imprisoning sheaths and Bailing away upon the wings of the wind, to impregnate distant and sterile fields with their superabundant life. God has determined for some wise reason of His own to conceal from our eyes a phenomenon infinitely more Imposing, the flight of those beautiful souls which He transplants to the gardens of Paradise, but being invisible is no evidence of being unreal. Always and everywhere it is the unseen, the inaudible and the intangible which Is the actual and which alone survives. "He is not dead, but sleepeth!" The seed dies into a
new life, and so does man. The caterpillar withdraws into ! the chrysalis to emerge a butterfly. The stars set to rise I again. It is this sublime faith, or gleaming of hope, orj
inextinguishable desire in the hearts of these youthful warriors which has translated that grim word death into that brilliant and triumphant phrase, "Gone West," and given inspiration and courage to him who wrote that greatest poem of the war, "I Have a Rendezvous With Death:"
Farmer John waited at the station
for the limited. He climbed aboard
and .shambled Into a car. '
"Mister," he drawled, when the con
ductor halted before him, "is that thar two-centa-a-mile rate good on this
train?"
"It is," replied the conductor, brus
quely. "Where's your ticket 7"
The old man fumbled to the depths
of an ancient shotbag.
"Aint got no ticket, mister," he said slowly, "but here be two cents. I never rode on one of these pesky flyers.
and I just wanted to feel the sensa
tion. Put me off after Ivrode one
mile."
SECRET RUSSIAN LETTERS TAKEN
LONDON. Not. 24. Leon Trotsky, the Bolshevik! foreign minister, according to a Reuter dispatch from Petrograd, announces that the Russian
secret diplomatic correspondence is in
his possession and will be published immediately. It is reported, the dispatch adds, that the revolutionary committee at
Moscow has seized the branch state bank there. It is said that 100,000.000 rubles recently were transferred there from Petrograd.
It was during a more or less secret conference in Washington early last
spring, just before war waa declared. Many prominent men were present, both from the north and from the south. The newspapers naturally were anxious to get opinions first hand from the members of the different committees, but found it a hard Job. One reporter finally fairly cornered a courteous southerner an elderly man .of the "old school." "Mr. Blank," said the reporter persuasively, "I would like to have your
opinion of the war." "Well, sah," said Mr. Blank very courteously, "I haven't thought of it much lately, but I've always been of the opinion, sah, that Lee should not have surrendered. Good evening, sah." And he left behind him a thoroughly dazed reporter.
"Hicks is crazy about etiquette. He saw in the paper the other day that in the best circles the wife ladles out the soup, and he has consequently given up soup." "Why?" "He has no wife."
Infantile paralysis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the nerve cells of the spinal cord or brain, resulting in their total or partial destruction, with consequent wasting, paralysis and deformity of the parts which they supply.
I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade. When spring comes back with nestling shade And apple blossoms fill the air I have a rendezvous with Death When spring brings back blue days and fair. It may be he shall take my hand And lead me into his dark land. And close my eyes and quench my breath It may be I shall pass him still. I have a rendezvous with Death On some scarred slope of battered hill, When spring comes round again this year And the first meadow flowers appear. God knows 'twere better to be deep Pillowed in silk and scented down, Where love throbs out in blissful sleep, Pulse right to pulse and breath to breat h, Where hushed awakenings are dear. But I've a rendezvous with Death At midnight, in some flaming town. When spring trips north again this year. And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail my rendezvous.

THE LETTERS OF A GERMAN WAR SPY. Somewhere in America. W. Hohenzoilern. Potsdam. Dear Kise It is not so like it used to was yet I regret to report der Amerlkan boobs are wise getting. Only night behind last they were so insolent as to have some police outside a powder mill which we had planned to blow up already, and two of our loyal party in the boobyhatch are. They have defied us. As the tree falls so snail she stand. We have lost several good strafers this way. The Amerikan is growing insolent too much by making interference with our plans. I hope you and Gott will punish Amerika for daring to interfere with our kultur here in a free country. It is no longer free. We are hot free to burn up grain elevators like once. I names have got of several Amerikan citezens who loyal are to this country and are saying things against us Germans and they are impudent in referring to your eldest son yet as the Crown Quince. It looks like it will not be very good healthy for me here. TJive my regards to your partner, Gott ADOLPH PUMPERNICKEL. Some have criticized the members of the American commission on allied war who have just sailed for Europe for taking their wives with them. How silly. If the commission needs any advice the ladies can give it They know all about war and then some. SILVER AND MONEY A man told us the other day that a silver dollar is worth a dollar and four cents. He said it Is worth a good deal more than it was ten years ago. Not in our money, it isn't. The way
we figure it, a silver dollar is worth about fifty cents less than it was ten years ago. Money of all denominations is getting so it isn't any good any more. You can't buy anything with it.

Displays German Brand as Prisoner
NEW YORK, Nov. 24. Ellas Laihonen, a Finnish sailor, displayed at the Seaman's passport bureau here today a tattooed hand, the characters on which, he declared, constituted a brand the Germans put there while he was a prisoner of war at Kiel. The brand is a square in which are tattooed the letters "Kr," which he said is an abbreviation of the German word "kreig" (war) and "gef," an abbreviation of Gefangen (prisoner). Underneath are the figures "1914." Laihonen says he was captured with the crew of a Finnish boat at the beginning of the way and that after some of his companions escaped the remainder were tattooed. Laihonon says the Germans released him on account of his youth, as he was only 19 years old.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Zeal without knowledge spoils all and makes man's fall hard; zeal is a folly that leads to frenzy in the fool. The future has no reward to present that the past did not help to make. What one has, he does not have to get; talent possessed turns to profits whatever it touches, when man trains to doing rather than to getting. He who doubts your ability will scorn your reproof; a wise man will take it for what it is worth and thank you for it. It's a loss of time for you to try to find a buyer by asking this man or that woman if he or she wants to buy what you have to sell. Such asking la annoyance to your friends, too.
