CHIEF ww Ik WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN Number Five h- Jlmmle and a German Boy Clash if Mutt Do Three Things to Save Country. I It was a warm evening, bo Uncle Dan went out to n Inwn seat under the spreading branches of the great trco that suggested the farm's name of Oak mil. Blllle and Jlmmlo had been lav ing for htm, so Uncle Dan wns cap tared by the boys on short order. "Say, Uncle Dan," -BIlllo began. "Wo had a red-hot argument at school yes-, terday with Carl Newman. Carl said, that German schools were miles ahead of our schools and that no one could come up to the educated German. Well, Jlmmle got hot under tho collar and' handed It back to him good and plenty., Jlmmlo said if their education taught, them to tnroprtn T.nsltnnlnq. sink hos pital ships, murder hundreds of worn' en and children, mako slaves of the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit trees and commit nil sorts of crimes, then we did not want that kind of! education here. What do you think about It, Undo Dan? I told Jlmmle you spent n lot of tlmo In Etiropo and knew all about schools, so give us your opinion," , "Well," replied Uncle Dnn, dcllt.er tcly, "the German Bchools are very thorough; they furnish exceedingly val uable nnd practical Instruction. The Industrial training given thero Is prob ubly tho best to bo found. The schools as a whole, however, In my opinion,) nppcnl to the hend only, nnd never to tho heart. The nlm nnd trend Is to Sanko the Individual blindly submis sive to the Trusslnn plan of world do minion; they teach that It Is tho des tiny of Germany to rule the world, and that to the glory nnd ndvanco of Ger many, In this plan, all things roust glvo way; that the kaiser as head of tho state, can do no wrong If he carries forward the- plan of world control. Some of the greatest teachers and preachers even defend and Justify her heartless crushing of Belgians ana the many other atrocious crimes ahe has committed In this war. Thank God, our American educntlon reaches both the head and the henrt. It Is nn edu cation with n soul, and we must main tain the high Idenls we have fired. In a word, In Germany, the people are tnught that they exist for the govern- iment, while here tho government ex ists to serve the people." "Just wait n minute," Interrupted jBUlle. Sny that over again slowly, so I can wrlto It down." Uncle Dnn, smilingly, complied. Bllllo exclaimed : "Now, we will hand Ithat nut out for Cnrl to crnck. Cnrl, you know," continued Blllle, "has n very smart father who keeps Ihlra posted on the Gcrmnn arguments. !Cnrl snld our- government wns only tin experiment nnyway; thnt It would not last twenty years, nnd thnt It might burst up tmy old time. Jlmmle asked him If Gcrmnny was so mighty tood, why they did not go back there (to live." i "Our government will go on forever, won't it, Uncle Dan?" S' "Now," said Uncle Dan, "you arc alslng a big question, and ono that ms troubled mo for years. Our gov irnment is still in the experimental Istage; in fact, it is the greatest ex Jperlmcnt ever undertaken, and If pop ular government is to be successful, a 'few things must be done, otherwise, to jparaphraso the great Lincoln, the gov ernment of the people, by the people ind for the people, will perish. It is my Arm conviction," snld Uncle Dan, 'in a very Impressive manner, "that if our country is to go on, as we hope and pray, we must very quickly do nt least three things, and I will name Ithem in the tjrder of Importance as it 'appears to me: ' "First, adopt compulsory universal jrnllltary training of all young men physically fit before they reach the lege of twenty years. i "Next, require that every foreigner ,iwho comes here to live must, within a treasonable time, sny a year, declare his intention of becoming an American jcltleen and take the necessary ateps to, lido so, thereby, from that moment, as suming all the obligations of citizen ship of our country, and that means he ipusi ueieuu our nag uynu eiium icrinn pith our native born, and If he Is not Willing to do this, he should be sent ack from whence be came." "That's the stuff," exclaimed Blllle. "And, finally, enact such legislation bs will make voting compulsory. Pop ular government is based upon the participation of all nnd tho rule of the majority, nnd democracy cannot continue and be successful unless we live up to the spirit of the instltu- tlOlj. g, i J '., II ' '"The first ntep, however, is the pass ling of the Chamberlain bill for univer sal military training. If you will get the lending citizen, and especially the editor of your paper, to write personal Jotters jo your congressman and both senators, tfrgtng their support, it will help enormously. ' f9. is "i gee by tnoThornlng papers," snld iUncle Dnn, "that the Rotary clubs of the entire country, the llvest, most efll clent organization to be found, have unanimously decided to get back of the Chnmberlnln bill nnd give It loyal and enthusiastic support. They will work' with tho Universal Military Training league to uccompllsh this Im portant piece of legislation, which will do more than nnytilng else to make us n real nntlon with u common view point, bring us bnck to sane living, and teach us the patriotism of uervice," , fb b 4 -b !

What kind of music will there be in your home this Christmas? What instrument and what voices will entertain you? Have you over stopped to realize thnt all voices and all musical instru ments, excepting one, have their limitations? . As wonderful as a piano is, it can give you only piano music; as beautiful as an organ is, it can give you only organ music; as marvelous as the human voice is, it can only sing. It is the same with the violin, the cornet, the accordion or any other instru ment which you might have in your home or might consider purchasing. .These are excellent in their way, but we arc sure you will agree that none of them is completely satisfying. It is different with the New Edison Diamond Amberola. It has no musical limitations, for it is all voices and all instruments in one and it, brings into the home all kinds and classes of music, from the greatest of operatic numbers sung by the most famous of singers to the simplest of popular and comic songs sung by the cleverest performers in their line; from the performances of great military bands and symphony orchestras to the snappy music of the ever popular banjo. The New Edison Diamond Amberola is not an instrument that you must forbid the children touching for fear of putting something out off order. Even a very young child can readily learn to operate this marvelous instrument, for it is simplicity in itself and is not readily put out of order, and the Blue Amberol records arc almost unbreakable and unwcarable. With the Amberola you do not even have to bother to change needles There are no needles to change. Instead of needles Mr. Edison uses aj GENUINE DIAMOND, ground and polished to fit perfectly in the grooves of the record, and so perfectly round and smooth that it has no effect on the record. As you know, a diamond never wears out. To operate the Edison Amberola all that is necessary is to put on a record and lower the repro ducer so as to bring the diamond stylus (reproducer point) into contact with the record. Besides keeping the Amlerola wound up and oiled, there is nothing else to do. Own an EDISON thrilling band records that just make you feel like getting up and marching around the room noble patriotic numbers that would stir the heart of a traitor tender old and new songs and ballads that go straight to your heart majestic grand opera that appeals to the deepest of human emotions lively dance pieces, ragtime and funny records entertainment of all kinds for young and old.
