TON BUREAU OP THE JOURNAU)
Representative Miller of Seattle, Wash
one of the congressional party which
Visited the battlellne from Verdun to
the North sea, made an impressive
speech in the house when he told his
; fellow member of his experiences.
One of the things which brought most
Immediate response was his narrative
concerning the private soldier of France.
He seemed to think from his observa
tion of the American army that there
Is need of a little greater democracy and
less of caste in the relations of the of
ficer and private.
It is the private soldier that is the
Idol of France." said Mr. Miller. "The
Frenchman cares nothing for class or
rank. - Both are but incidental to armies.
' When the soldier knocks at the door
of the peasant in the night time and is
asked "Who is there?' he simply answers
"A soldier of France.' The door is opened,
the helmet taken, the fires kindled and
the chair placed for him ; the housewife
: opens the larder and he knows he Is
welcome to the best.
- "Over there the major and the cor
poral, the captain, the lieutenant and
v the private, sit at the same table and
sip their wine together. I saw them.
The .plan of campaign Is discussed; the
sergeant, the corporal and the private
know the objective of a certain move
ment timed for tomorrow just as well as
the colonel.
. "The officer knows his men from close
personal contact, not at the arm's
length. He kntws the weak man and
can strengthen him ; he knows the strong
and can keep him strong. This is. prao-
' tlrftiB' the verv basic idea of true democ
" racy. This is why the private and Ihe
corporal stand beside their colonel and
each measures every inch the Igoldieej
This Is why the soldier of France n the
, glory of its soil." .
A , little later Representative Miller
gave his appraisal of an officer who is
a snob, and the house applauded him:
"An officer should te an associate, a
teacher, a leader of his men. If he
feels himself too good to be a companion,
' too indifferent or too stupid to teach.
and has not the born native quality of
leadership, he is unfit to be an officer
of any rank, and the quicker he Is out
ot the army the better for the service.
' Compulsory Train is g to Be Passed
Secretary Baker's announcement in
his annual report that he does not now
deem it advisable to recommend legisla
tion for universal military training will
make no difference in the plans of Sen-
. a tor Chamberlain, chairman of the mili
tary affairs committee of the senate,
who is preparing to urge his universal
t servfee bill. ,
The committee will take up the Cham
berlain measure soon after the holiday,
recess and is expected to report it with
out much delay. Senator Chamberlain
believes the senate will pass it.
7 Secretary Baker suggests that adjust
ments to be made after the war may
make It unnecessary for America to con
tinue to arm, and so the question of a
permanent policy with regard to the
training of men for military service may
be postponed until the war is over.

canvassing officers and the courts re
fused to correct the returns. At Just
about that time the national election was
much In doubt and no one could tell
which pasty would control In the sew
congress.
Republican members of the . commit
tee which heard the contest decided they
would file no minority report. This
caused some of ,tbe Republicans In" the
house to Show temper. Dyer of Missouri
said he considered it an "outrage" tor
Republican members to be compelled to
vote without any report from their
party associates on the committee, "and
thus put us In the position of having to
say by our votes that here for nearly a
year a man has been sitting in this house
and drawing the pay . and bearing tne
responsibilities of membership without
right, and we sit Idly by and make no
defense of his election and no report to
show why he came here."
Dyer said he would vote for Boaxes
because thVre was nothing else to do.
Everybody else did the same.
Beyer' Xosdoa's Modesty
If Meyer London, the Socialist member
of congress from New York, was ever
a candidate for a crown of modesty, he
fell behind in the running when he nom
inated himself for membership on the
new woman "suffrage committee.
After Representatives Kltchln and
Glllett, the party leaders, had nominated
members for the committee according to
plans already agreed on, London moved
to substitute his own name zor mat ox
Sullivan, a Democrat from New York.
When the speaker announced the mo
tion had failed, London made a point of
no quorum, whereupon Speaker Clark:
counted 221 members present, "and the
noes have It."
London, of course, does . not admit
that he pressed his claim for the sake of
honoring himself. He did it in the name
of the Socialist party and the prole
tariat. He succeeded In amusing the
house, where the oldest member could
not recall any similar incident.

More money, more business, more in

That Is whst Will F. Lipman of Lip-
man, Wolfe A Co., has to say about the
greatest Christmas shopping In Fort-
land's history.
At 6 oolock Saturday night, the big
downtown department store was crowd
ed. Men had to be stationed at the
doors to let In only a limited number of
would-be purchasers as the crowd with
in slowly thinned. The store was to
hava closed at 9 o'clock, but It was long
after that hour before the last shopper
had left.
"The peculiar feature about this
year's business," said Mr. Lipman. "Is
that people are not buying non-essentials.
- They are spending their money
for substantial Christmas gifts. The
volume of business Is beyond an pre
cedent. We have two and one half
times the force we ever had before, but
it is with difficulty that we are able to
handle the trade.
'The biggest part of the business
from the working people. They have
the money and are spending It. After
ail the basis of all prosperity Is the
working people.
'Soldiers hava done a great deal of
buying also. Their gifts ar for their
people back home.
"There has been very little shoplift
ing. This Is unusual, considering the
great amount ot business done."
