ORE.. JAN. lft . U A political junta In XiOndon baa ap parently begun an nttaok on President Wilson. Tbe war is the inane and the President la being roaated In Assoolat ed Press dispatobes for not protesting and taking Bides with tbe Allies when the neutrality o! Belgium was violat ed. It was to be expeoted that nvery effort possible would be made to draw tbis oonntry into tbe oonfliot, and anoh was foreseen by the adminstration, with tbe resclt that a polloy of "bands ofl" was taken at tbe begin ning and has' been strictly adhered to lnoe. Ai a signatory power of tbe Hague, tbe United States recognizes the nentraiity of Belgium, and for that matter, the rights of all neu trals, bnt only France, England and Bnssia went so far as to guarantee the neutrality of Belgium, and it is be coming more and more apparent that tbis guarantee was made for strategic al and polittoal reasons. However, in faoe of snob bitter and undeserved attacks as tbe junta sent out through the Associated Press on Tuesday, America will ; continue to feed tbe starving Belgian's while tbe big Eur opean poweri combat to turn her bloodsoakad soil into a shambles. Tbe gratitude of England aa a whole, to ward tbis nation, may not be ques tioned. but ber restrictions in oensor- sbln of acrimonious attacks against a friendly, President and bis nation, are apparently very lax. The fuel value of two! pounds of wood la rongbly equivalent to tbat of one nonnd of coal. Tbis Is given as tbe result of oertain calculations now belus made in tbe forest service labor story, whioh show also about bow manv cords of certain kinds of wood are required to obtain an amount of beat equal to tbat in a ton of ooal ueitain kinds of wood, snob as biok cry, oak, bseob, birob, bard maple, sub, elm, loaust, longleaf pine, and cherry, have fairly high beat values, and onlv one cord of seasoned wood of these ipeolea is required to equal one tou'ot good ooal. It takes a cord and a balf of ahortleaf pine, hemlock, red gam, Donglas Br, sycamore, and aoft niaple, to equal a ton of ooal, and two cords of oedar, redwood, poplar, cat alpa, Norway pine, cypress, tasswood, snraoe and white pine. EASED HIS CONSCIENCE. An Ineident Showing a Queer Phase of i Russian Character. "The Kuselan character bus In It something very beautiful something childlike." wrote the i'rlncess Troubet skol (Amelia Rives) from 1'etrograd to a Richmond friend. , "A happening In Petrograd brings out the Uusslan character well. "A young nobleman, rather Hushed and Incoherent with champagne, drove up to the opera, and, aa be descended, a wretched beggar whined out the usual petition for alms. "Tbe nobleman looked at the ragged and filthy beggar; then be iaugbed foolishly, dropped a silver ruble In tbe gutter and said: ' "There. Pick that out wltb your teeth add you can bave it' ''The beggar gave the nobleman a strange look, a strange, reproachful look wblcb did not lack a certain dig nity. Then, without a word, be went down on all fours and drew tbe coin from tbe foul water and mire wltb his teeth. "Tbe young nobleman took out a fifty ruble note. " 'Now strike me in tbe face,' be said. Strike me, and I'll give yon this.' "Tbe beggar struck blm a good, vig orous blow. Then the young nobleman, bis con science satisfied, Iaugbed, gave tbe beggar tbe promised reward and hur ried into tbe opera, patting bis burt cbeek tenderly wltb his handkerchief." -Buffalo Express.

One may often see In tbe English Oustrated periodicals photographs of tiny soldiers about seven or eight yean old gravely saluting elderly officers. These diminutive warriors are boy re cruits holding regular and dignified places in tbe Indian army. Each Sikh regiment la allowed twelve of these little chaps,, who are trained almost from babyhood. Tbey are each paid 8 rupees and 8 annas a month and at the age of sixteen enter tbe regular army. Tbe Sikh soldiers are a most interest ing and remnrknble part of tbe British army in India. Their conduct In fron tier engagements bas distinguished them as brave, steady and devoted to their English officers. Yet about fifty years ago these well ordered soldiers were fanatical savages, who In their nind uprisings shook tbe power of Great Britain. Once conquered they accepted British rule and were trained and disciplined Into a well equipped army 6t 80.000 soldiers. Tbey formed part of tbe force that subdued the mu tiny. The Hodson's horse troops, which helped capture Delhi, were composed of Sikhs whose devoted service to their lender made them famous. Their scarlet sashes and turbana gained them the name of "Flamingos." Their descendants are no less deter mined lighters and stanch soldiers. Chicago Herald. Easy Getting Back. A man named Hlue was talking to bla friend Brown one night when the lat ter casually mentioned Black, a mutual acquaintance. "Millies me think of an experience Black had a few weeks ago," laughed Jones.
