ACJLANCK at Meclftml's roll of lxuior, the list of those j)iuvliiisiiij; Liberty bonds, reveals a remarkable ab sence of those win) realty have the mazunia. (ilanee down the list and you will see that those who have strong boxes, imminent as obstructionists and lamed as community knockers, are strangely missing while many there are who have strained their resources to subscribe. Of course the gentle pastime of warrant shaving, the joyous recreation of cent-per-cent ing and the delightful three-ball game are more ruinunerative, if not so patriotic and what do these patriots care for government except to cuss it for interfering with skinning operations? What is government for except to knock or recall because of tax ation ? And why should nionev that is earning as high as 15 per ('(Mil, a month in driblets Uncle Sam at .'5 ' 1 ,t'1' '(,t il year? Why indeed. What is it to these patriots that millions of American youth. will soon be on the firing line to be supplied with food and mu nitions? The firing line is a long way off too far indeed for these patriots to see. What is war anyway but to yield golden harvests for those stay at home and profit by the blood sacrifice of those who respond to their country's call. .Manv a village (and other) capitalist, smoked out bv Liberty bond and I Jed ( Voss as a pillar ol respectability and a patriot, when m truth he is simply a leech sucking the life blood of the community and as much of a slacker as tho he evaded military duty. THREE MEDICAL AT TUB recent meeting of the American Medical as sociation, three medical discoveries figured which re veal great advances in the war against disease. They are: 1. An anaesthetic, which is also an antiseptic 2. A -serum and surgery treatment for anthrax, the dread disease which hits baffled physicians. '.i. A revolutionary method of treating (.right's dis ease, from which thousands die yearly. The anaesthetic, was discovered, by Cordon Edwards, who has tried it out in the trenches in Europe, lie was aided financially in his research by Miss-Anne Morgan. The invention is composed, of three ingredients and is harmless. It will probably revolutionize medical work on the European battlefields, as its effects are wonderful. The anthrax treatment was tested at Bellevue hospital and patients showed immediate improvement and eventual cure. It is a combination of surgcrv and serum, devised by Dr. 1). O. Dudley of Endicott, N. V. Dr. Albert A. Epstein ot for the new method of treating ISright's disease. He be lieves the malady is due to changes in the blood, and treats the blood its well as the kidnevs. IN WAR SERVICE CHICAGO, Juno l.").

It was an Ini-prt'B.-ilve HC(;iie as Clenoral l'l-rHliins stood yesterday with uncovered head at the tomb of Napoleon and paid si lent tribute to one of the world's greatest commanders'. General Per shing, accompanied by his staff, was received at the Hotel Ues Invalides by General Nlox, the military com mander of the historic monument and General Jlalterre. - As the American party entered the spacious grounds leading to the build ing, they encountered a number of veterans of the French war who have homes at that institution. Ono of these was a grizzled soldier of the Crimea, who still wore the ancient uniform and carried on his breast decorations of the old days. As the veteran saluted General Pershing, the general stopped and extended his hand, saying: "It Is a great honor for a young soldier lllie myself to press the hand of an old soldier like yourself, who lias seen such glorious service." Passing Into the Invalides, Geuelal Xlox conducted the American com mander within tho vast rotunda, with its walls hung with battle flags and thence tho party proceeded below the crypt, where the sarcophagus of Na poleon reposes. Entrance to the crypt is rigorously limited, and it Is seldom that any one is admitted except crowned heads or a former ruler, as in the case of former President Roose velt, when lie visited Paris. General Pershing stood for some moments gazing at tho Impressive spectacle. He was then conducted to the art museum, where precious relics of Napoleon are preserved. F. A. West went to Portland Fri day morning. t t t f ? f ? T ? ? t f f ? f t t t ? ? t ? t V t t ? ? ? r ? ?

When tho United States district court opened for the fifth day of the trial, Stuart S. Jauney, chief counsel for the Baltimore club, addressing Judge Dickinson, said: "After a full consideration of this case last night by counsel for the plaintiff conditions have arisen which make us desire to discontinue It. 1 desire to ask leave of the court, there fore, formally to file a motion of dis continuance. 1 would say that there has been no settlement of the case." Presidents Johnson of the Ameri can league; Toner of the National, and Chairman Herrmann of the na tional commission expressed their gratification at the outcome of the case.
