A soldier's pocket diary may seem at first stance to contain aothlns; but columns of figure recording petty ex pendituraa or the dales upon which be wrote latter borne and received a let ter from bis mother.

Tba civilian mind I given to mak ing th moat rapid and comprehensive deductions from Isolated Instances, fol diers and diplomat know thla. and ansa tney lay bold of an laolated In stance from which they wish a general Impreesion to be manufactured they promptly AMf that In.tanre to the civilian mind.

Then that diary Is first of all photo raihed and attested and series of far. Unties of the pages containing signifi cant sentences are produced. Also type written copies are made and these, to rt he r with the facsimiles, ar acnt.to mportanl newspaper. Thee newspapers print the copies nd occasionally reproduce tha far imlle. A few tart comment on 'the obvlou demoralisation agisting among th enemy's troops" are added. Thus is tha receptive civilian mind heartened and what may have been and prob ably was the view of some disgruntled or weak-kneed or obstreperous man In a battalion of 1000 men become the view of a great part of a nation. Diary Beeoaara Trophy. The fact that In armies numbering millions upon millions there are by the nature of things human thousands upon thousands of whlners and shirkers, never figures ln the calculations of the civilian mind. In lliO, when General oberidan waa military observer with the German armies, he wrote to Prenl dent Grant a letter In which ha heartily praised the discipline. Intelligence and valor of the German soldiers, but be gave prals to the shade of discrim ination Intolerable to tba civilian mind, by adding that there was "about tha same percentage of sneak and run aways a In the war between North and iouth." Hut considering lha army a a whole, th General' opinion, which he ex- preaaed emphatically, wa that "the Is I'rua.lan soldier are very good, brave 1 1 reliow.

Well may a general pray to be spared Ibe private soldier with the vanity that coai.rt an otherwise harmless gift of gnrAnto written words. For that soldier may be captured or left dead or wounded. on the field, and then that pocket diary may become a trophy which tha enemy leaps upon with more Joy than It would leap upon a gun that it bad put out of action. Nraraalbeale Oatpaarlaga Read. A few days ago the London Times gave mora than oua of Ita long columns to what waa alleged to be tha dairy of a German srr.aier who groaned and moaned to the extent of 2000 word while he was evidently In an acute stage of nervous prostration. Tba man had. a university affiliation and he wrote effectively. That ha waa a neurotic Imaginative, pusillanimous be ing to whom a toe ache waa a tragedy also waa evIdenL There waa not one j English reader, nor were there, I sup pose, many American readers or me London Times who did not finish the reading of the lionn gynasium man's pitiful dairy with the conviction that the German army which happens to be holding Belgium and sitting tight under a rain of metal In northern France and galloping eastward Into Russia, and fiahtinc Its way across the Serbian mountains Is principally composed of neurasthenics yearning for the comforts of home. I am equally confident that many a Prlton would have been more recon ciled to withdrawing from 100 yards of gained ground than to having the Germans gleefully photograph and cir culate a sheet of foolscap marked "se- Lrret" at the top and beaded "Police Arrangements. ftiepe Takea Agalaat atraggllag. This sheet contained orders l.sued on September 1. 1913. from the Twenty seventh brigade headquarters to the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, and the second paragraph read: "Each bat talion will detail four regimental po lice. Including two N. C O., to report to brigade A. two it I A. M-. 23d Inst.' Th third paragraph read: "These police will come under the orders of Sergeant Simpson, M- M. P and will be employed In forming a bar rier on rear of brigade to preven straggling." Th original of the document I have seen. MONTANA EDITOR FINED Tftt'TH Or- ARTICLE NOT DEFKNSE OF COXTEMPT.

LAND GRANT MENTIONED ATTORSET-GESERAL REFERS MATTER IX REPORT. TO Mr. Gregory Feraalatlag Reesssea- daflaa far Disposal, t Be Laid Before Ceagreaa. or.EGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wah Ington. Dec. 11. Attorney - General Gregory, In hla annual report. Issued today, refers briefly to the Oregon at California land grant, but does not In dlrate the character of legislation which. In bis Judgment. Congress should enact. He briefly Interprets the decision, saying: Although the Supreme Court holds the provisos of the granting acts to be covenants and not conditions subse quent, as contended by the Government, and denies the forfeiture for which the Government prayed, an analysis of the opinion nevertheless' discloses a sub stantlal victory for the Government. The decision denies all standing to set tiers or other third persons. It Inter prets the grant as not compelling sales by the railroad company, nut aa re' quiring all sales made to conform strictly to the terms of the provisos. and It provides for the preservation to the Government of all Ita rights re- pec 1 1 n c land already disposed of by he railroad for an Injunction against further violations by tha railroad com Here's Some Striking Specials in Men's Furnishing Goods SPECIAL NO. 4 Handkerchiefs boxes; come in box of 3, 4 and 6. lar 76c.
