'TREAT 'EM WELL IS HOTTO WITH AMERICAN A. F. - Relief Agencies go With Men in Service to Provide Relaxation.

(By Associated Press) PARIS. Nov. 11. "Treat 'em rough," la the slogan of the United States tank units referring to the enemy, but "Treat 'em well" is the motto in regard to the American Expeditionary Forces. Never Jn history have fighting men on foreign service been treated so humanly as have the soldiers and marines of General Pershing's crusaders. Never have such tremendous projects been undertaken to surround the fighting men with the best home influences as have been brought to high perfection in connection with American soldiers and marines in France. With many other outworn theories, the old idea that men had to be deprived of every human comfort in order to develop them into good fighters, has gone by the board. Napoleon's Old Guard never relaxed nt the movies. Washington's men at Valley Forge had no warm huts in which to gather socially. Unselfish men and women never accompanied Wellington's grenadiers into battle to give them hot drinks or bar chocolate with which to stay their hunger. Grant's, and Lee's armies never were provided with tons of-athletic "paraphernalia or with high-class vaudeville and other entertainment while campaigning. If entertainment, education, recreation, athletics, religious solace and a hundred creature comforts had been supplied his men, Sherman might not have been 60 sweeping in his statement. Pershing's force has all these advantages. In addition to all the provision made by the government, American soldiers and marines receive through seven recognized agencies the many small comforts and considerations which remind a fighter that his country's people have him constantly in their thoughts. Take a modern big battle, for Instance. When American soldiers went into action the uniformed field workers of the Young Men's Christian Association, Knights of Columbus, and Salvation Army went with them distributing bar chocolate, cookies and other fimall. handy eatables which may tide the boys over if they pursue the enemy so rapidly that the field kitchens cannot keep up to them. As the Americans went in to clear the St. Mihlel salient, the Y. M. C. A. alone distributed to them nineteen motor truckloads of chocolate, cookies and tobacco, following it up through the battle with thousands of gallons of hot drinks Army airplanes distributed thousands of packages of tobacco and cigarettes for the Knights of Columbus to front line fighters cut of reach of pedestrian workers. The Salvation lassies distributed thousands of doughnuts and pies through the fighting. j Has Made Fighters Normal. . Strange as It may seem, American soldiers in action have time to snatch a glance at the news and demand it raily. The Y. M. C. A.. K. of C. and Salvation workers distributed millions of Paris editions of American newspapers through the Argonne, St. Mihlel and Chateau-Thierry engagements. To the men on rest or in hospitals "and even to those In the trenches, these workers furnished tons of maga- . lines and books supplied by the American Library Association. In the "huts" maintained in the war .rone by the Y. M. C. A.. K. of C. and Salvation Army the soldiers find physical, mental and spiritual relaxation or refreshment In the form of sociability, entertainment, reading, writing, and religious guidance. Theatrical entertainment is furnish ed for soldiers by routing first-class 'American entertainers over the "hut" circuit, as well as arranging amateur shows. The best, newest movies are shown at the Y. M. C. A., and K. of '.C. huts. The Jewish Welfare Beard, which does similar service in home training camps, will put in hut service In France where it.will not overlap the existing hut services. A complete educational system has been furnished by the Y. M. C. A. for every man, from illiterates to those capable of grasping a professional or technical course. Rest areas at famous or mountain rer ort3 of France give the fighters a complete seven days' rest every- three months, and throughout the war zone the "Y" fur nishes tons of athletic apparatus and hundreds of physical directors to develop wholesome sports. - While the soldiers are in America thev have the additional benefits furnished by the War Camp Community Service which "surrounds camps with hospitality," obtaining for soldiers and sailors invitations to private homes, to public entertainments and private parties, which arouses civic responsi bility to remove from communities all vicious or profiteering elements which preyed on armies In other generations. Information booths, low-priced hotel accommodations, theatre tickets and athletic contests are provided. A place where a soldier can meet his mother, wife, sister or sweetheart as In their own living room In the best contribution made in home train ing camps by the Y. W. C. A. and National Catholic War Council with their Hostess Houses. In France this organization doe for the American women w; workers, nurses, telephone iterators and the French women munition workers a service similar to that imd one for men by the other agenios.

Part of harbor at Kiel, great naval base of kaiser, above, and heart of Hamburg. The entire German navy has revolted, according to roc.ent dispatches from Copenhagen. The officers are powerless. Sailors on shore, aided by workmen, seized the forts and arsenal at Kiel, great naval base in Schleswig. The mutineers seized the wireless stations and are communicating with each other. Revolts are spreading all over Germany. Artillery firing in the streets of Hamburg, where the revolutionists broke loose, has been reported.

THE REPUBLICAN At the election of Tuesday the American people gave to Republican ism one or tne most remaruaDie tributes of confidence in the history of the party. In the midst of war, against the most powerful influences, the party control in the popular branch of the national legislature, and probably the upper chamber also, was reversed, and responsibility for legislation in one of the most critical periods of the nation's life withdrawn from the Democrats and placed in Republican hands. Pride in this tribute should be balanced by gratitude and be renewed sense of responsibility. Republican leadership is now confronted by one of the greatest of its opportunities. How will it meet it? The problem of victory seems now solved. The problems of peace and reconstruction are before us and they are not less vital to our safety and progress than those of war. At the threshold of their restored power the Republican leadership finds the duty of renovating the legislative machinery and making congress an efficient agent of the nation's will. It is not efficient now. The emergencies of the war have exposed and emphasized the deplorable weaknesses of congressional organization and method, weaknesses which have leit pntirrpss ine ffectual in the face of its responsibilities, and which would have . nrv,Qiioii ven the. most reluctant ' and meticulous of executives to in- j fringe its prerogatives under the pres- : sure of necessity. Congressional protests against executive encroachment j rang hollow because congress was like : the dog in the manger. It has been j one of the most evil of the effects of j congressional inability to cope with problems that executive invasion ha3 j been condoned and encouraged, and j the proper distribution of functions j under our constitution confused and j thrown out of balance. If congress is to retain Its lmportanrp in the machinery of government, if congressmen are to do their duty! for the preservation of our American! S3 stem, congress must set it house In 1 order. The Tribue believes this is the fore most political duty of the hour, and it j views witn tne gravest concern tne signs that Bourbonism, intent as al- - - - I.e. n nHmi Q 1 power In the Republican party, rather than upon making a KepuDiican congress the efficient agent of party principle and policy, has begun to reach out for the places of control. The enlightened leadership of the party should act with promptness and decision in ttis emergency. If Republican Bourbonism in spite of 1912 has learned nothing and forgotten nothing it should be deprived of influence in the party counsels. Especially the Middle West, which is the seat of Republican power and the leader of victory in this election, as in many others, should make Itself felt without delay. Republican leadership owes It to the party and the nation to undertake the reform of congressional organization at once. The program is clear. First of all the rule of seniority should be abrogated. It is the bulwark of incompetence. In the present congress it has automatically thrown the country into the lap of a section and has done more than almost any other factor to create waste and inefficiency. Under a Republican organization It would not be quite so offensive and costly because in Republican states there Is more frequent change of representation and fresh blood Is possible. Nevertheless, Republican seniority will not bring the most representative, competent and energetic men to the head of the committees. In some cases it will bring men as fossilized as any southern veteran and almost as little representative of the living force, spirit and Ideas of th rrtv.

RESPONSIBILITY

We are entering upon a most crucial trial not only of the country but of the party. A Bourbon control means the destruction of Republicanism. The real party leaders cannot afford to permit it, and the party press should insist upon reform. Besides the abolition of the seniority rule, there should be an abolition of useless committees. Perhaps 20 per cent of present committees in the house are tfseless. They are clogs to effective action. Finally there should be a consolidation of appropriating committees and the establishment of the budget system. We hold these reforms to be essential to governmental efficiency and the proper functioning of congress in the American system. Congress has won contempt because of its stubborn retention of the present organization. It is time for it to act for the public welfare and overrule ts small bore political considerations. We hold these reforms necessary, and we hold it incumbent upon Re public leadership to see to it without I evasion or delay that they are set on I foot and carried through. If it does not it will prove itself unfit for power and make certain a well deserved defeat at the next election. Chicago Tribune.

MEN IN FRANCE MUST BE HELPED AFTER WAR ENDS

Italian Soldier Points Out Needs of Americans in France U. S. Must do Reconstruction. "The Americans are the ones who must do the reconstruction work in Germany, Russia and Austria-Hungary." said Lieutenant Bruno Rosseli, of the Italian army before a large crowd at the Coliseum Sunday afternoon. Lieutenant Roselli was brought here to inaugurate the United War Work campaign in the county. "These boys of yours are between three and seven thousand miles away from their friends and relatives," he said. "They are in a strange land among strange people who speak a language entirely foreign to them. And yet you would think that under home in a good condition. The only thing in the world that they have to give them a touch of home are the agencies which are united in this great war worlt campaign. It sems strange thatl, a member of the Italian army, should, be here to tell you people to help your own boys. "We Italians and you Americans, who went in last, will be the ones who will have to rebuild these countries, which are in a demoralized condition. It would not be fair to the Belgians to keep them on guard duty. They will be the ones who will be sent home first It would be unfair to force them to reconstruct their country. "As a member of that great interallied army that has been through the destruction of autocracy and must see through the reconstruction that must follow, I say that Italy is worthy of the United States and you are worthy of us. "There are 1,350,000 Italian soldiers dead as a result of this war, and I say that it is an honor of no small significance to me to appear before you in the uniform of the Italian officer. But I am not representing that country. I represent the interallied armies. I feel that there may be a particular spot in your hearts for Italy. Italy has been one of the salvations of the Allies by turning the tide. She has been the salvation so far as Austria-Hungary is concerned. Italy alone has turned back Austria and Hungary. We entered the war because we thought it was right. There were many times that we were urged not to make investigations or to question the motives of the Teutonic powers. We were finally urged to make a separate peace, but always we were asked to remain neutral. "Ital ydid not heed any of these peace offerings and with 47 Italian divisions, one Slovac division and an American regiment a stupendous victory has been completed on the Italian Austrian front. "We have not broken our union with the allies and now before us and the United States the two nations last to enter the war lies the question of reconstruction. The men of the countries that must be reconstructed must not be permitted to bear this work. They must be the first to return to their homes and families if they have any. "Our responsibilities are just be ginning. We must have even moro co-operation, and a more perfect union than we have yet had. We have the responsibility of putting the world on her feet. We must not think that the war is over when the slaughter stops. "The days of reconstruction are 30ing to be harder than those of destruction. Are you going to be interested only in destruction and then a month after the armistice js signed expect your beys to be home? Are we going to rebuild by men that are only fit agencies of destruction? A uniform is no proof of what a man is. In prewar times a soldier was a thing to be shoved aside. After War Protection. "What kind of boys do you expect to come back? They must be protected in the years of reconstruction. They are far more safe when they are in the trenches and expecting to face the creator in a few seconds than when they are policing a German city. "In the days to come after peace is declared there will not be such iron rule as there is now. "Your boys were put in the trenches but they did not hold them. They went over the top. They have shown of what magnificiert material they are made. We must remember that they 1 have no home atmosphere except that which is given them by the Y. M. C. A., Red Cross, Salvation Army, Y. W. C. A., Jewish and Catholic organizations, and others. All these are working together. They must keep up tb.3 morale of those boys of yours. "You must not give in this war work campaign because you think that perhaps a lot of yellow paint will be put on your store window. You are giving to help these boys and in helping these boys you are helping yourselves and the next generation to come. These boys do not value their lives. And anyway what is life? In one hundred years not a single one of us will still have life. "You pebpie in America are only in the ABCs of sacrifice. It is only one lump of sugar when it was probably twelve or fourteen. You have given

company in France, in a letter to friends here. Freeman is In a hospital in France recovering from wounds received in action. "I am 18 years old and have been in the service for two years and five months. I have done my duty faithfully in the army and have done everything they have asked me to do. "There are several boys over here an din the same hospital with me that are from Richmond. We extend our thanks to the people of Wayne county for what they are sacrificing for our soldiers over here by giving everything they can so we can win this war." NEW MADISON MAN DIED IN CANADA FROM INFLUENZA NEW MADISON, O.. Nov. 11. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wright received a .telegram Saturday stating that their son, Russell had died of influenza. H j was 28 years old, and had been living in Canada since last December. He leaves a widow, parents, two sisters and four brothers. Other members of the New Madison colony in Canada ! are said to be ill of influenza. Earlham Football Men Out Because of Injuries The Earlham basketball men who were said to be ill and could not play in the game that was supposed to be played Saturday were not ill but injured. The Earlham officials were afraid the people of Richmond would think there was influenza in school, which is not the truth. only a little. In the drives which you call Liberty Loan drives you invest your money. Our people and our homes have been destroyed. Twenty thousand wedding rings were given up by our people. Treasures that have been prized for years were given up. "Your entire casualty list is only that of England for two weeks. And yet it has been said that England would fight to the last Frenchman. You do not yet know what sacrifice is." Lieutenant Roselli emphasized the unity of the workers abroad. He said they are working side by side behind the lines and in the trenches. William Dudley Foulke introduced the speaker, following a brief talk emphasizing his personal love for Italy, which country, he said he lived next best to America. Mrs. Fred Eartel gave' two patriotic songs, and the High school orchestra gave several spirited numbers. E. M. Haas, chairman of the United War Fund campaign in this district, gave to the audience rules to govern the solicitors and eaid that double the numbers of subscriptions attained in the last Red Cross drive must be secured in the campaign which began Monday. Carl Wolf presided at the meeting and spoke a few words in regard to the success of the campaign. Germany has a plague of adulterated foods.
