Maurice Maeterlinck, the famous Helgian, says in some publication or an
other of recent issue that nothing is ever lost—that the virtues of the men
who are dying in the trenches continue to exist. He compares the virtues
coming from the departed many as being concentrated in the fewer number
left alive, tike the lights from many candles giving place to the brighter
light of a lesser number of lamps.
Maeterlinck is called a mystic and either for that reason or because he
writes well and thinks deeply the world will probably be led away by what
he says. Another man with a great reputation might come forward tomor
row and tell us that what Maeterlinck says is the very opposite of the truth,
and the second one would also be sure to find his adherents, but when poor
mortals try to delve into and explain the things outside mere mortality not
one of them can go furtl cr than a Si wash or Aleut. If all the virtues of
those dying in the war survive the bodies it is sate to assume that the op
posite qualities wil a * survive. U it is a virtue to die for ones count 1 \
it can hardly be called virtuous to take the life which another offers for
another country. It* one could -ee into the hearts of the poor wretches in
the trenches tonight on both sides he would probably see more cringing fear
than heroism, more men who wish to see the war ended than men who wish
to see it proceed. Will the natural fear inspired also survive? If it does
it were better that no human quality became immortally existent on this
earth—that everything possessed by man expired with his physical being.
Seward welcomes tin* members of the Republican Territorial Committee
whether they came in person or by proxy. No matter to what party men
belong it can be said that party government is the best that democracy has
devised or discovered. This does not mean that there should not be more
parties than two or three. Oh- vation of any community of men shows that
continuity of unanimity, so to speak, is impossible. Men will differ and will
continue to differ as long as they possess the imperfections which our un
fortunate first parents are accused of bequeathing us, and differences will
bring divisions in politics as they brought divisions among tribes and nations.!
One should always carefully study the reasons for what politicians call “in
dependence." There is no such thing as real independence. Even the very
clothes we wear are cut in a manner that proves our dependence on the
opinions of the others. The man who wears unconventional dress is regard
ed as a freak, and there is no reason why the “independent” politician should
not also be thought so. There have been Beau Brummels who could alter
the fashions and there are Beau Brummels of the political world, but how
very few of them exist or have ever existed.

Fear Poison
For Soldiers
By ALICE ROHE
(United Press Staff Correspondent«
ROME, Dec. 26. — (By Mail)—
Italy’s boys in the trenches had a roy
al Christinas. Best of all their
Christmas gifts was Christmas din
ner in steam heated trenches. With
their modern trench improvements
they had the host of it over some of
the girls they left behind them. For
sunny Italy has the coldest interiors
and the poorest heating facilities in
all the world. In the trenches ,how
ever; up where the snow is heavy and
the rains are freezing in the mount
ains, the steam heated trenches are
driving away the terrors of a winter
campaign.
The sending of gifts to soldiers at
the front was one of the most touch
ing of all Christmas activities.
Everyone wanted to send something.
A poorly clad woman entered one of
the stations w here special boxes ot '
sweets, ready for sending to soldiers
were on sale. She had only sixteen
soldi. The boxes were one franc
fifty.
‘Til buy something,” she said.
“I’ve no one at the front now. My ;
soy’s fallen at Col di Lana but 1 want I
to send some little comfort to some!
other mother’s boy.” She bought a j
small package of sweets for sixteen |
cents and some mother’s boy must ;
have felt a different quality in that
dearly purchased remembrance.
The order that chocolate and sweets
could not be sent privately to soldiers
at the front caused such a wail that
parliament decided to change tin
order. The order ha<l been given be
cause of the fear that poisoned sweets
from suspicious and concealed quart
ers might reach the soldiers. Enough
evidence had come to the cars of the
authorities to warrant this action. It
Aiis this same fear that resulted in
the public cigar ami cigaret collection
stations being abandoned. The op
portunity for enemies sending poison
ed cigars or cigarcts offered too
strong a temptation to evil minds.
The discovery of poisomxi tobacco
brought the decisive order. Thou
sands of cigars were destroyed and
the order was that thenceforth only
money would be accepted to buy
cigars from government supply
' stores.
At Christmas time the bars were
*
down for chocolate and sweets. In the
face of Christmas sentiment, voiced
by mothers and sweethearts, wives
and children, law and precaution step
t>ed aside. And the rush of bundles
of candy and chocolate, of tabacco and
1 all sorts of presents, has appalled the
postal clerks.
