WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. That the
war department will keep its hands off
the matter of universal training, unless
asked specifically for its views., is the
opinion at -general staff quarters. The
indications are that the president di
rectly or through Secretary Baker must
sponsor the idea, else congress will
have to ask the war department for
suggestions. It is stated that no mili
tary man would attempt to urge such
training unless the president or Secre-
study of the subject and is ready to
present definite proposals when desired,
but the administration's policy is un
known. The question of the largeness
of the standing army is likely to crys
tallize soon.

The Red Cross has again taken up
its mission of helpfullness in Russia
this time with prospects of more lasting
results. That the real Russian is not
only desirous of peace, but of education
and the advantages of modern civiliza
tion, is forcefully impressed upon Amer
icans by the message of a Russian
schoolmaster brought to our attention
by Ernest Poole in the Red Cross Mag
azine for November. This simple man
represents millions of his own people,
who are like millions of our own, living
in small villages and working on farms.
Here is what the school teacher says to
America:
"Our peasants should learn of Amer
ica. This is a most important point.
1 Every school should teach English ;
every library should have a good stock
of English and American books, to off
set the ones that the Germans are send
ing us as gifts. I tell you their agents
have gone about for years to village
libraries and schools. Those fellows are
zealots ; they work day and night. Have
voti no such zealots in vour land? Whv
don't you send them over here? If you
believe in liberty as the Germans be
lieve in their devil's kultur, you will
come over here by the thousands and
prove your belief by the things you do.
You had a great man, Lincoln. You
should make his 'story known in every
schoolhfiuse. Each time that a German
speaks of his kaiser, one of your peo
ple should be on the spot to say : 'Now.
brothers, let me tell you of a great
American peasant. Abraham Lincoln
was his name.' "

The War Risk Insurance Bureau has
compiled a list of the mistakes and
malappropisms from letters concerning
allotments from relatives of soldiers all
over the country. The burden nf each
of the letters which punctuates the sta
tistical labors of the bureau with mirth
is a delayed payment of an allotment.
A portion of the list, is as follows :
"Dear Sir: I ain't received no pay
since my husband has gone from no
where."' "D. S. : My husband gone away at
Crystal Palace. He got a few days'
furlo' anil has been away on the mind

grandfather and grandmother. H was

"You have changed my little boy to
a little girl. Will it make any differ

"Will you please send my money as
soon as possible, as I am walking about
Boston like a bloody pauper."
"Please let me know if John has put
in an application for a wife and child."

WILL RESIGN
George E. McCracken, for the past
three years a deputy superintendent of
public instruction, has announced his
intention to resign his position as su
perintendent of the schools of six
counties comprising the fourth super
vision district, and to sever his con
nection with the department of educa
tion on January 0, 1919. Under his
present appointment he legally holds
office until next September.
He suggests that teachers and trus
tees who desire to take up with him
certification or other school matters
should do so on or before the alove
date.
Mr. McCracken's plans for the future
are uncertain. He is considering sev
eral offers from California. During his
occupancy of the office which he is now
preparing to resign Mr. McCracken
has made many warm friends, who are
loath to see him give up the work, but
wherever he may go their best .wishes
will attend him.

There seems to be a mistaken idea
prevalent among mining claim owners
that the declaration of intention to hold
claims made last year will still be valid
for the ensuing year. This is a mis
take. The congressional resolution pro
vided that no assessment work would
be necessary to hold claims for the year
1917-18, provided they should file a dec
laration of intention to hold such claims
before December 31, 1917, and another
similar declaration on or before Decem
ber 31, 1918.
Unless the provisions of the law are
j complied with this year all such claims
will be subject to relocation.
The American Red Cross Bulletin
for Arizona. California and Nevada,
states that the Pacific division wants
an appropriate slogan for the Christ

embody the spirit that calls for unani

Dig up your ideas and send them in
to the publicity department. This is an
opportunity to materially assist in the
campaign for 100 per cent membership.
Make it a point to have the local chap
ter win this honor. The American Red
Cross wants to use this slogan in the
next issue if possible, so send in your
contribution without delav.
