LONDON, Dec. 1.—(By Mail)—
“The only way the allies can win the
war is to cross the Rhine. Germany
otherwise will fight to the bitter end.”
Professor Masaryk, exiled member
of Austria’s parliament, now in Lon
dan, is telling British pacifists today
'•that no mere blockade will ever beat
the central empires.
“I think I know the Germans,” said
Masaryk today. “I understand the
psychology of the German people.
There is truth behind the German
boast that Germany in the end will,
metspherically speaking, arm every
cat and dog in the empire. Germany
will fight to the last man and the
last voin. She will need to be utter
ly crushed before she will relinquish
fi^r grip on the territory she has in
graded and on the countries over
which today she exercises control.
“If the resources of Germany are
proof against the starvation of her in
dustrial population, then the only
hope is the invasion of Germany. Ger
many to all intents and purposes will
be beaten when the Rhine is crossed.
This is because the great coal and
iron producing zone will be then in
vaded. Silesia alone could hardly
meet the German requirements; also
Essen and the neighboring munition
factories, on which Germany is large
ly dependent, should come easily un
der the bombardment of the allies if
only from the air. Besides, Germany
would have been deprived of all the
material derived from Northern
jjPrance and Belgium. She would be
'hopelessly handicapped.”
Professor Masaryk does not be
lieve Germany is faced with a short
age of men. If there is any man-pow
er difficulty at all, it Is connected
with the enormous output of muni
tions, he thinks. He is also confident
that Germany’s allies will fight to the
last. He added;
“The spirit of resistance in Austria
is not as strong as it is in Germany,
but Austria also will go on to the
end. The men who make revolutions
are in the army and the military ma
chine holds them in an iron grip.
That machine is run by Germany.
“Bulgaria will fight to the end. She
cannot help herself now. Germany
has Bulgaria in her grip and will not
let go. Turkey fights on for Constan
tinople. Both Bulgaria and Turkey
.want peace, but not on the allies*
ijbrms.
■^‘^ermany is a long way from be
Xffg beaten,” the Austrian ex-legislat
or declared. “There will be no revo
lution in Germany. The military
people will see to that. In any case
the roots of revolution have poor soil
in the submissive population.
The people who preach after-the
war preparedness in allied countries
are peraehing a wise gospel, said
Professor Masaryk.
“If Germany is defeated, my im
pression is that a defeated Germany
will work so hard that the allies, so
far from taking things easily will
have all their work cut out to com
pete with her. After the defeat at
Jena, the Prussians set to work to or
ganize themselves better and we see
the results in the display of strength |
to which the present war has given ]
rise.”
SEEKS LAW GIVING “HORSES’ j
RIGHTS FOR WOMEN” I
_
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 20.—Colorado
women are completing plans today to
force through the legislature next
month Judge Ben Lindsey’s bill pro
viding maternity benefits and entitled
“Horses’ Rights for Women.” The
bill, the first of its kind in this coun
try, provides that a working woman
expecting to become a mother may re
ceive state aid for a period before and
after maternity.
“Thousands of women and girls
work until within a few days of be
coming mothers,” Judge Lindsey said
today, “and then return to work while
still weak. Their health and often ]
that of their children is permanently j
injured. My bill would simply provide
that the state give them the same pe
riods of rest that any wise and liu-1
mane farmer gives a horse or a cow !
at such a time.
“At present we take better care of
our cattle than we do of our mothers. (
I believe such a bill as ‘Horses’ Rights
for Women’ would do away with this |
evil. I feel that if we can get it
adopted in Colorado other states will
soon fall in line and it will become a
national reform.”
BLINDFOLDED AUSTRIAN OF
FICERS IN ITALIAN TRENCHES
ROME, Dec. 18.—How hostilities
between Italian and" Austrian troops
were temporarily suspended while
blindfolded officers from both sides
met to discuss the merits of a certain
explosive in civilized warfare was told
here today fof the first time.
The Austrians hoisted the white flag
of a temporary truce and negotiated
a discussion by wigwags. The Italians
accepting, the Austrian representa
tives masked their eyes and crossed
No Man's Land for the Italian trench
es. The Italians gave them safe con
duct to headquarters. Following the
conference the blindfolded officers
were led back to their own fortifica
tions and hostilities renewed.

Yesterday was collection day for
Bud Whitney and he was busy calling
on his egg customers at 12V4 cents an
egg and they were mighty glad to pay
the price. Bud is not trying to emu
late Swiftwater Bill and get a corner
on the Anchorage eggs but is simply
reaping the harvest of his hennery.
In explaining why he preferred the
Rhode Island Reds to Plymouth Rocks
for this country Bud started off in a
very lucid dissertation about chickens
but fell gloriously when he com
menced to compare the Rhode Island
Red chicken of Alaska to the White
Face 3-year-old of Montana and it
was all off. The comparison was apt
only in regard to color but the mere
mention of steers was enough to get
this old “ranahan” started and it was
easy to see that Bud’s mind had drift
ed to the Yellowstone and Powder
river and that for the moment he was
“off of chickens for life.” Knowing
Bud so-well and knowing too that he
was always a top hand and could ride
anything that wore hair it was easy to
understand why the mere mention of
steers brought the old gleam of ex
citement into his eyes and the egg
customer settled down for a story.
But it was not to be for at the psy
chological moment came the plaintive
bleat of a calf from the sled outside
the office door. Reluctantly Bud tied
his cap and went out into the cold to
deftly tuck the blankets a lttle closer
around the new-born calf that he had
purchased from a city customer and
was taking to the Whitney ranch to
raise.
The egg customer followed him out
and learned that the contented cows
that ranged in Bud’s 10-acre pasture
were givng so plentifully of milk that
the family could not use it all and that
Bud was in the market for more
calves.
Surprisingly active for a man of his
varied experiences Bud mounted the
sled seat, gathered up the lines and
said “Get up,” and started for the
Whitney ranch. '
The Whitnew ranch is a most de
lightful place to spend a week-end, or
even an hour, for in addition to the
most congenial comradeship there are
lots of fresh eggs, fresh milk, thick,
rich cream and the mast delectable
home cooking. And possibly, and
what is more to the point, perhaps the
fortunate guest could prevail upon
Bud to tell of his Montana range ex
periences when he “repped” for the
Mill Iron and Hash Knife and was the
best of the range bosses, or of the
time he rode ’em high, wide and hand
some and copped the silver-mounted
saddle for being the king of broncho
busters.
If Bud should “get his bill into you”
there are other things he could tell
that would listen good to such old
time range riders as Ed. Huff, Tex
Jones, Sam McMillan, etc., and would
be of great interest to the listener.
It may be a far cry from a Montana
cow-boy to an Alaska farmer but it
took just such a man as Bud Whitney
to convincingly prove that there js
comfort and pleasure and money in
the Alaska farm. And then, too, there
is always blessed memory.

CLEAN HANDS.
We speak of people living a hand
to mouth existence but that is only a
figure of speech; but the living that
germs get is nothing more or less than
a truly hand to mouth life and there
is no more effective way of avoiding
these diseases than to exercise a reas
onable amount of care in the matter of
continually washing the hands.
If the human race would only learn
to keep the hands away from the
mouth it would avoid many of these
diseases that are so prevalent. That
i§ one of the worst habits that one can
have, to be continually passing the
hand or fingers to the mouth, or to
wet the fingers before counting mon
ey, dealing cards or many other things
that come in this line. It is absolute
ly impossible to avoid handling things
with the hands but it is possible to
have those hands clean so there will
not be any danger of contaminating
the thing that we handle. It is just as
bad to wet the fingers before perform
ing any of those acts as it s to carry
the soiled fingers to one’s mouth, ex
cept that you leave the infection for
some one else to pick up. Carelessness
on the part of either party is apt to be
the cause of trouble later on.
In view of these facts the U. S. Pub
following rules of personal hygiene
lie Health Service has formulated the
and recommends their adoption by ev
ery person in the United States:
Wash the hands immediately
Before eating.
Before handling, preparing
or serving food.
After using the toilet.
After attending the sick; and
After handling anything
* dirty.
There is so much truth in this that
too much emphasis^ cannot be given
the warning because it is so often the
case that entrance to the body is gain
ed in this way by the germs of most
of the infectious diseases, particularly
if there is any chronic throat trouble
present.
