This is in accordance with a recent war department order that chap ..1-1 -11 ?1 .11 In.isnl,, nf ank and wear instead simply the ;ross. Of course they will retain their ank. Outward manifestations of rank lave been shown in order to show the ton-combatant character of chaplains ind to make enlisted men at the same Ime feel that the line of demarcation hat must exist between officers and n listed men, as far as military discipline is concerned, does not hold in heir relations with the chaplain, i nere never has been such barrier exsting between chaplains and men. for t has been the desire of the governnent that soldiers should always feel Tee to go to tell their troubles to the Ministers of their respective organizaioris. That is why the chaplain is in in organization. He is councillor, as t were, between officers and men. He an meet both on the same level and )ften acts as mediator between the wo. Speaking of the chaplains being ion-combatants docs not mean that hey are opposed to work. Those at "amp Sevier no doubt would like to tive Kaiser Hill a personal drubbing, f only the laws of International war'are would permit. Aside from this, he chaplains are chosen with the greatest deliberation as to their ability ind fitness to lead and to serve men. Therefore this branch of the service is omposed of men of sterling worth and ofty ideals. Hill Luval, Y M. C. A. athletic dlrec:or of Cutnp Sevier, is anxious that the luarantine against the flue be raised to that he can get down to business ithletically. "Here half the football leason is gone." says Coach Laval, 'and Camp Sevier as yet has hardly lone a thing in that line. We have ;ot some of the finest material in the country?fellows who in the days be,'ore the war were football stars at Tale, Princeton, lleurgia, Vandy and i score of other big colleges. They ire raring to get back into the old raine here, and it has just been a series of hard luck that has held us jack. We are going to get out some ?Aiimu v-ftt ovftii' if wo have to naugurate a special season." Coach [juval has the pep and is an old timer n athletics of .all forms. He has done i great work at Sevier In promoting tthletics and if he has half a chance a ill do much more. Not having a knack or taste or what;ver you want to call it, for writing, Corporal A. J. Herman before coming nto the military service, developed a tiablt of recording his observations and mpresslons in drawing and he is keeping the habit up since he has been in he army" game. Before becoming a soldier, Corporal Herman was in the idvertising business for the firm of Proctor & Gamble. He traveled all )ver the country, and in order to occupy his mind while traveling he began Irawing what he saw out of the car windows. The hobby for drawing crew and today he is one of the best imateurs in the country. He says he s an amateur; but his work would put nany a professional to shame. The orporal is a member of the 220th Pield Signal battalion- His work as an irtist has been the subject of much faorable comment on the part of solliers of Camp Sevier. His home Is in "hicago.

He has rendered dramatic recitals at more than twenty company banquets in the past month or so, and his presence is always invited In amusement and entertainment circles throughout camp. No "oldier has done more to keep soldiers of the Twentieth happy and in good spirits than has Private Mirabeau. Jas. U. Grist. ROOSEVELT CRITICISES WILSON. Former President Says the "Fourteen Principles" Are Mischievous. Theodore Roosevelt sent duplicate telegrams last Thursday night to United States Senators Lodge, Poindexter and Johnson, in which he characterized as "thoroughly mischievous" the 14 principles enunciated by President Wilson, if they are to be made the basis of peace. The telegrams follow: "As an American citizen, i" most earnestly hope that the senate of the United States, which is part of the treaty-making power of the United States, will take affirmative action against a negotiated peace with Germany and in favor of a peace based on the unconditional surrender of Germany. "I also declare against the adoption in their entirety of the 14 points of the president's address of last January as offering a basis for a peace satisfactory to the United States. Let us dictate peace by the hammering guns and not chat about peace to-the accompanying of clicking typewriters. "Satisfactory to Germany." "The lunguage of the 14 points and the subsequent statements explaining or qualifying them is neither straightforward nor plain, but if construed in its probable sense many and possibly most of these 14 points are thoroughly mischievous und if made the basis of a peace, such peace would represent, not the unconditional surrender of Germany, but the unconditional surrender of the United States- Naturally they are entirely satisfactory to Germany, and equally naturally they are in this country satisfactory to every pro-German and pacifist and socialist and anti-American so-called Internationalist. "The only peace offer which we should consider from Germany at this unit* IS UIl unci IU ttUC|il OUV.II ICI Ilia us the Allies, without our aid, have Imposed on Bulgaria. We ought to declare war on Turkey without an hour's delay. The failure to do so hitherto has caused the talk making the world safe for democracy to look unpleasantly like mere Insincere rhetoric. While the Turk is left in Europe to tyrannize over the subject people, the world is thoroughly unsufe for democracy. "Associate" vs. "Ally." "Moreover, we should find out what the president means by continually referring to this country merely as the associate Instead of the ally of the nations with whose troops our own troops are actually brigaded in battle. If he means that we are something less than ally of France, England, Italy, Belgium and Serbia, then he means that we are something less than an enemy of Germany and Austria. We ought to make it clear to the world that we are neither an untrustworthy friend nor an irresolute foe. Let us clearly show that we do not desire our faithful and loyal friends and our treacherous and brutal enemies, but that we are staunch ally of our friends and the staunch foe of our enemies. "When the German people repudiate the Hohenzollcrns, then, and not until then, it will be time to discriminate between them and their masters. I hope the senate and the house will pass some resolution demanding the unconditional surrender of Germany as our war aim and stating thato ur peace terms have never yet been formulated or accepted by our people and that they will be fully discussed with our Allies and made fully satisfactory to our own people before they are discussed with Germany." Air Vigil At Night.?Searching the skies at night for German aviators has become the newest trick of the American tilers, who are already alluding to themselves as "night air eyes," writes an Associated Press correspondent from France. When the enemy bombing planes came In groups one after the other on Monday night the American night fliers went out In force to hunt for them. Among the Americans was Major Harold Hartney of 1'asa dena, Cal., who pot nearer the Germans than any other of our fliers. "I was so close to one Boche." Major Kartney said, "that I could see his tracer bullets shooting groundward. In the moonlight the German was attempting to strafe roadways, thinking tie saw troops. "The tracer bullets at intervals shot through the air like lightning flashes ind I followed them here and there, but I could not see the Boche. Then [ maneuvered and tried to get the Serman between myself and the moon but I never could see him." These night patrols are continuing. Even when the weather is cloudy the \merlcan fliers go out In relays until dawn. A Veritable Inferno.?Thousands of Russians and Finnish Red Guards imprisoned in a secret camp at Fricdenort, near Konlgsberg, Germany, are living and dying amid terrible conditions, according to a neutral who has lust arrived at The Hague after a long cisit in Germany. Many of them, he nIH ops vlrfnnllv nnkpd. and the re mainder are clad In rags. Deaths are common, and he predicted that with the coming of winter most of those still alive would perish from exposure. Food conditions in west Prussia, this Information said, are by no means as pood as in east Prussia, the home of the Junkers. Ample food was obtainable at fairly reasonable prices in the cast, in consequence of which the population was comparatively cheerful- To this situation as ascribed the continued resistance of the Junkers to the dedre for a quick peace, which, he stated, was growing rapidly in other parts >f the country. Concrete Ship a Success.?The concrete ship Faith, first of its type built Tor ocean cargo carrying, has arrived safely at a gulf port, according to word received by agents of her owners in ''few York. The vessel, after carrying 5,000,000 feet of lumber from C&liforlia to Chile, took a load of 4,000 tons it nitrate and came through the Pantma canal. The Faith, which was 'poured" rather than built, stood the experience without damage, her agents laid. REJOICING AT OSTEND. Correspondent Finds the People In Great Spirits. In two days I have traversed fully 400 miles of the battle area of the western front, have visited scores of towns and villages taken from the Germans. Yesterday I was in Roubalx. and found it, like Lille and Ostend. gay with the flags of the Allies, the people ready to greet enthusiastically any one in Allied uniform. The day was gray and rainy when I was in Ostend, but the city was dressed as for a carnival and the atmosphere of rejoicing offset the leaden skies. As the press car drove in, children of all ages clustered about it and the adults joined in their vociferous greeting. miiy a. score 01 persons nad ocen killed during the day by German "boobytraps," we learned from the people. So long had the Germans been In occupation that many of the residents, especially the young, had acquired a mixture of German speech with their French. Apart from damage by shellflre and bombs in sections that could not escape It, Ostend presented the same outward Intact physical api>earance as Lille and Roubaix. All the mattresses of the householders had been bereft of wool and all copper ornaments and utensils had long since been taken away by the enemy. All the money in circulation Is German. I had a close view of the British cruiser Vindictive, sunk in Ostend harbor by Captain Carpenter, a personal friend of mine. Previously he had helped stop up the entrance to Zeebrugge, and by this sinking he did the thing at Ostend. Captain Carpenter said to various friends before starting on his perilous venture that probably he would not come back from the place to which he was going, and he was quite cheery over the prospect. Today the Vindictive lies where this brave son left her. Alongside of her the Germans recently sank a mailboat, in order to stop up the channel entrance completely. They also sunk the mailboat Brussels In Zeebrugge harbor before leaving there. A naval officer who landed today on Zeebrugge mole, said to me that the British completely bottled the harbor when they sank ships In it. He also said it is believed that five German destroyers are hopelessly stranded in the canal near Ghent, and they will probably be blown up. From an officer who brought King Albert and the queen of Belgium to (Mend I heard of the fearlessness of these rules when the city was still under enemy fire. Mines were floating in the harbor when they arrived at night, but they made light of them. On landing they made a surprise visit to the town hall, where the people soon assembled and gave them a heartfelt welcome. The entire Belgian coast is now clear.?Joseph W. Grigg, special correspondent of the New York World, on the British western front, under date of October 21. Foiled By a Woman.?During the last three days British troops in approaching towns have been careful not to shell them when there was the slightest chance that civlllatuMHIp. in the town, writes a correspondent trom the Belgian front. The Germans, once driven from the towns, promptly turned their guns on them, killing and wounding civilians In several cases. In the town of Hanson a German shell crushed a dwelling house and fifteen women and children hiding in the cellar were killed or wounded. The civilians generally have displayed marked heroism. The act of one French woman stands out among many. As the Germans were getting ready to evacuate a certain town the woman saw them placing an explosive charge under one of the most important bridges in the region. The Germans attached a slow fuse and went away. The French woman waited until night. She then crept down the river bank under the bridge and removed the charge, leaving the slow fuse. The next day the Germans fled from the town, the last group setting off the fuse- It spluttered and sizzled, and the Germans ran, but nothing happened.

Liberated civilians say that the retreating Germans carry so much loot that they stagger under the loads. Apparently the alleged Instructions given the German troops to take the most strict care as regards the property of civilians are not observed at the front. Colleges and universities of the country having units of the students army training corps are expected to furnish the army with 220,000 men by July 1, 1919 according to a statement hy A. \V. Vinal, of the committee of education and special training at Washington, to representatives of the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth Federal districts of the S. A. T. C., who met here yesterday. This numl>er must Include all the technically trained men and most of the officer material taken into the army between now and next July. Major C. H. Broscoe, head of the military administration department of the S. A. T. C., said the government was disbursing to schools of the country J65.000.000 for Instruction and maintenance of the soldier students, between October 1. 1918 and July 1. 1919. The average daily cost of a man. he said was about $1.40. Five hundred colleges now have student army units. Baron von Falkenhausen, the German governor general of Belgium, according to an official telegram from Brussels has pardoned all Belgians and neutral residents condemned by military tribunals or military commanders under his jurisdiction except those convicted of common crimes. The governor also has ordered the release of all Belgians and neutral citizens interned in Belgium or Germany. A limited number of persons whose freedom would be undesirable while fighting continues will be released after the evacuation of Belgium. uctooer 21m was tne anniversary 01 the first active United States participation in the war.
