This sanitary undertaking for the benefit of the boys of the army at the Columbia camp illustrates what the Red Cross ! Is preparing to do at other canton ments throughout the country. o i The Christian Science Monitor does the Southern mountaineer justice wtien it says: "There has never been ay lapse in the patriotism of the people of these counties.

However, de- duct these two gentlemen, which the .Madison paper takes so much pains , to repudiate, and there remains a pretty sizeable list of Madison patriots who very capably filled the larger portion of the county officers two years ago.

There might be ' circumstances in which a restoration of the sUtus quo ante, the return of the German col onies and mutual assumption of the burdens of reconstruction might be eitously conj-ildered together with an agreement for ine pacinc, adjust ment of all tho territorial and politi cal Issues arising out of the war, but not while the German Government remains what it is now. As between tho Allies and the German people, the Pope's terms would deserve earn est consideration. Aa between the All.es and German autocracy, they are Impossible. The "first of all the fundamental points" enumerated by the Vatican for a durable peace "must be that for the material force of arms be substi tuted the moral force of right." That alone nullifies everything which fol lows. There is no moral fore of right known to the present German Government the Government that brought on the war, that invaded Bel gium, that nwaged France, that sank tne Lusitania, that ravished t.;e wo men and murdered the children of the territory, that it conquered, that de sired ruthless submarine warfare, that butchered helpless non-coiubatints, that erected barbarism into' into a religion, that took its enptives into a slavery and that still defies every law of God or man which interferes with its "military necessity." In order to present his proposals to the Entente Towers, the J'opa is ('impelled to assjtne a condition cor irary to fact namely, that a Govern ment exists in Germany which can bt dealt with on a eis of "justice and iquily" and which v. ill abide by "the lules and guarantees to be establish ed.' That ds where the Vatican's whole structure of peace collapses. The democratic nations are asked to confide again thair very life to the honor of ai German Government thaf. lias no honor, to the good faith of a German Government that has no good faith, to the sincerity of a German Government that is without sincerity, to the Integrity of a German Govern ment that lis without integrity. It cannot be done. Society might as vvtll enter Into a gentleman's agree ment with all crimimls its murder ers.its forgers, its arsonists, its pirates, itjs, ravishers, its vandits, its pirats, its degenerates-and trust its future security to their sense of "justice and equity." There can be no peace until Pius- sianism is destroyed. Whether it is destroyed from without or from with in rests mainly with the German peo pie themselves but destroyed it must be If there is to be peace in the world. That is now the beginning and the end of the war aims of the Allies, and unles achieved, autocracy has triumph ed arid German militarism is master of civilization.

Own Shot From U-Boat Killed His Girj The tragic story of bow a U boat commander unwittingly became .the slayer of his sweetheart is told bv Lars Larsen, who-arrived at an Atlan tic port on board a small cargo steam ship. He was oliicer of the Swedish Steamship Ada, which was sunk on June 12 last while on her way from Gothenburg, 'Sweden,' to Hull, Eng land. Tills is bis dramatic recital: "Refore the war began a handsome young German fell in love with my daughter Minna, sixteen and beautiful. The Gecmuit. Hans von Tueblnepr was an art student and had come to Sweden to study. "Minna soon grew to return the love of the good looking voiuufster. and when the wsr broke out and be re ceived notice to present himself at once to the litivnl unit to which he 'be- luiiKcu in uermnny tne poor girl was ready to die of grief. "Two months elupsed before we got a letter from Huns. It told us of his having been detailed to submarine work. After this we never heard from him again. "Toward the end of April, as we were Hearing the coast of England on my schooner, the Haldar, a shell struck the P.uldar umid.sliips. A splinter of the smashed woodwork struck 'Minna and killed her. The rest of us bad barely time to get Into a small boat and get away before the schooner sank, carrying down the body of my daughter.- . . ; "It wus only then that we noticed the U boat from which the shell bad been fired. It came close to us, and judge of my horror and that of my son Svcn when we discovered that the captain was the man who was to have been the husband of Minna. Ills first question was, 'How Is my Minna, and does she still think of me?' "1 pointed to the place where the Baldnr bad sunk. 'What!' shrieked Hans von Tucblnger. 'Minna is dead "His grief was certainly unfeigned when we told blm what bad hap pened. "Last June my son and I were offi cers aboard the Swedish stenmsbit. Ada, under Captain Teniston. Again we were nrarlug the British const when a submarine fired a shell. When It came close enough to enable us to discern the features of those on thp boat we were again almost paralyzed with horror to see that the eoimuunder was Hans Tucblnger. When we got close enough to the U boat Svcn leaped to 11, deck mid made a rush for Hans His hand was at the man's throat when a seaman struck Sven a blow on the head. It felled him, and he rolled off into the water. lie did not reappear. "Hans swore he would gladly have given bis own life to save my son's Duty, dutyr he exclaimed bitterly. 'Oh. this murderous, unspeakable duty!' " And here Lars Larsen burst Into tears. "I am trying hard to forget It Mil," be concluded brokenly. UK federal government has com peted Its plans for the first call to the colors of men for the new national army to be formed under the selective service law. The governors of the states have been notified that each state will be called upon to furnish one-third of Its quota on Sept. 1. Each of the 4,557 local districts will be expected to fur nish one-third of its quota on Sept. 1, and the men will be mobilized at train ing camps between Sept. 1 and 5. The rest of each distiiefs quota will ' be mobilized later in September. Regulations governing the plans for this great mobilization of 087,000 draft ed men have been Issued by Tresident Wilson through the office of Brigadier .General Enoch Crowder, the provost marshal general. These regulations di rect the local and district boards in great detail how to proceed in desig nating the men to be entrained in the first call of one-third of the quota to the colors. The regulations provide for the listing of the men to be called, for the posting and notification of those called, for their assembly, lodging, sub sistence, entrainment and transporta tion to the mobilization camps. General Crowder will specify the number of men to be mobilized at each camp. The local boards are expected to entrain men for these t amps at the times specified. The adjutant generals of the states will call on the local boards to send selected men to the mo bilization camps. The local boards will ill the time of assembly and order the drafted men to military duty. They also will arrange for subsistence and lodging and for the transportation of the men to the camps. They will make arrangements with hotels, restaurants and lodging houses in their neighbor hoods for the lodging of the men as sembled for entrainment, but the rules contain a provision by which the men may spend their last night in their homes with their families by making application to the boards. Posting of a man's name or notice to him by mail will serve as his orders to report for military duty. Should he fail to report when posted on the list of those embraced in the assembly list he will be subject to arrest. The names of all absentees are to be reported by the local boards direct to Brigadier General Henry P. McCain, the adjutant general of the army at Washington. If the local board knows the whereabouts of the absentees it must call on the po lice to arrest them as deserters from the army and to deliver them to the nearest military station as prisoners. The following Is in part the text of the regulations for the assembling of the first section of. the national army issued by Provost Marshal General Crowder: Either the mailing of .notice or the posting of the list containing his name ' as prescribed herein shall constitute the giving of notice to each of the per sons named on the lists so posted and shall charge each of such persons with . notice that he has been selected for military service and that he has been ' ordered to hold himself in readiness to report for military duty at a time and pluce specified in a notice to be posted in tne office of the local board.
