There can be victory in the battles being fought

The Neutral Press.

The popular impression that the japanese are the
original war censors may be true, but the colored
publicity policy of the Russian government during
the conflict with the Nipponese had the precedent of
at least century and a half.
The conflicting war reports from the allies and
the Germans and the boastful attitude assumed by
the correspondents of both sides recalls an old
writing of DR.. Johnson in 1888 1t is an explanation
of tie colorins of in hostile countries even
days after defeat had been suffered
DR.. Johnson wrote: IN time of war the nation is
always of one mind, eager to hear something good
of themselves and i'll of the enemy. At this time the
task Of news writers is easy. They have nothing to
do but tell that battle is expected and afterwards
that battle has been fought, in which we and our
friends whether conquering conquered, did all and
cur enemies did nothing"
1t NAV please the English and French to hear that
the Russans are certain to take Berlin and the Ger
man public may be quite willing to read that the
Kaiser's forces will be in Paris Sunday, but the
Americans in the meantime would like TO get at the
facts
Dr.. Johnson did not include neutrals in his in
dictntnt of news writers" The doctor NAV have
correctly estimated the press of the foreign nations
in their desire to print what the people want to hear
but for the people of the United States who have
to depend the foreign censor the situation is al
together different.

Government-owned Ships.

Everybody wants to see an American merchant
marine. tile product of individual enterprise once
more upon the seas; but let no one be misled into
thinking that government-owned trading ships are
the beginning of an American merchant marine.
They are rot. They are sign so far as they are
sign of anything that there is going to be no
American merchant marine. They are notice to
the world that this country will do nothing to en-
courage private enterprise to supply merchant
marine and that it will not moderate the laws which
make American shipping almost impossible Instead,
the government will enter into competition with pos
sible private ship owners first making the terms of
operation arduous for them and then becoming a ship
owner itself. under compulsion to make profits.

Italy's Opportunity,

A glance at the map is sufficient to explain why
Italy is keen to get into the present war on the
side of the allies. That portion of Austria known
as the Trentno containing the city of Trent projects
into Italy in a way that cannot be defended on any
geographical grounds and which must be intensely
irritating to Italians. When it is remembered that
they formerly possessed it and that of its people
are of their own blood it can be seen how natural
is their desire to regain it Dalmatia, which was
controlled by Venice in the heyday of its prosperity
and whose people are of Italian stock appeals to
them in the way. Austria has never been weak
er than she is now and to most Italians the psyche
logical time seems to have arrived for a decisive
blow. Whether it will be struck will doubtless
depend the events of the next few days in France
and East Prussia:-P Philadelphia Record

Fifty years ago today President Lin
coin, in q proclamation and executive
order, EXPRESSED the thanks Of the ma
ton TO Admiral Farragut. Gen. f. r. s
Candy and Gen. Gordon Granger for
their successes in Mobile Bay, and ap-
pointed a day OF thanksgiving for Gen.
Sherman's capture OF Atlanta.
He further ordered that a salute Of lo'
guns be fred from all government ar
senals and navy yards for these vic
tories.
Although the events thus grouped.
had taken place nearly two weeks apart
Fort Morgan, the last TO fall in Mo-
q. and Atlanta September 2-the news
from Mobile was SO long ih reaching
the North that the two rieces Of good
news transpired in the North IN the
same week.
Two happier auguries Of ultimats sue
cess Of the Union cause had not been
grouped since Vicksburg and Gettys-
burg. They were evidence that the cry
the war was failure was not !rue.
The announcement Of these victories
was, in fact, the opening act of Presi-
dent Lincoln's campaign for reelection
In the absence OF any tangible refu-
tation OF the charge that the war was
a failure, Lincoln's political advisers had
seen but a gloomy outlook for his re-
election The announcement of the VIC
tories at Mobile and Atlanta to the most
sanguine Of the acministra tion's sup
porters seemed TO mark a turning in
the ti.Ie
II was the first burst OF light ahead
that Lincoln had been seen in months.
The President officially announced to
the Northern people the good news from
the South with becoming dignity and a
sincere recognition OF a higher power
for granting victory.
Thanks to supreme Being.
The proclamation Of Thanksgiving be-
gan as follows:
The signal success That Divine Provi-
dence recently vouchsafed to the opera
tions of the United States fleet and
ermy IT, the harHor of Mobile, and the
reduction o; Fort P.'wCl, Fort Gaines
and Fort Morgan. and the glorious
achievements of the army under Mai.

resulting In the capture OF the city Of
Atlanta, call for devout acknowledg-
v1ent q the Supreme Being IN VIII So
hands are the destinies of nations"
1t was therefore requested that the
following Sunday. in all places Of wor-
ship in the United States, Thanksgiving
and prayers be offered for blessings
and comfort from the Father, Of mer-
cies to the sick. wounded. and prisoners,
and TO the orphans and widows Of those
who have fallen in the service Of their
country, and that He will continue to
Uphold the government Of the United
States against all the efforts of public
enemies and secret foes"
The document relating to Farragut
was in the form OF an Order OF Thanks
and Rejoicing" 1t rendered the nations
thanks to Admiral Farragut and Gen.
Candy for the skill and harmony" with
which their joint operations were
planned and carried into execution: also

Grow Foodstufs.

We repeat our advice to farmers to NEGLECT no
occasion TO plant foodstuffs. Every scrap of land
that is suitable for winter planting should be got
ready for crop of grain that may be harvested in
the spring. Every bit OF ground that is not sowed
in winter grain should be given cover crop of
clover other pasturage that will better the land
for the spring planting. Every brood SOW or cow
sheep ought to be cared for this winter and eff
forts made to increase the meat supply. We shall
need more foodstuffs than ever before in our own
history, not only for our own growing population,
but to supply the necessities of Europe.-Knoxyile

Both Italy and Switzerland have adopt
ed measures to fortify the entrances of

The people OF Washington will be reluctant to
believe tat the Capital of the United States with
out sufficient influence in Congress to obtain an
appropriation at this session for the equipment of
the new Western High School, now in course of
construction. The old building was destroyed by
-hre ard Congress provided funds for the erection
of new one, but through some ones neglect no ap-
preparation was made for its equipment Apparently
no effort is being made to remedy the situation and
TIE indications are that while Washington is sadly
deficient in high school facilities new building will
be ready for occupancy before money is available
for its equipment merely because some officials are
not attending to their duties. sEs.-a

and TO the gallant commanders on sea
and land, and TO the sailors and SOL
diers engaged in the operation, for
their energy and courage, which. under
the blessings Of Providence, have been
crowned with brilliant success and have
won for them the applause and thanks
OF the nation"
Compliment to Generals.
There was a touch of diplomacy in
the references IN these documents to
Gen. Candy and Gen. Granger. for with
out the success OF the navy in running
past the Mobile forts on August >. and
destroying the power of the Confederate
naval feet within the bay. the army
could have done nothing toward taking
Fort Morgan, and probably nothing
effective toward taking the other two
forts.
Gen Candy. an experienced and eff
cient officer. had had no opportunity
earlier in the war to win distinction.
as his service had been on the south
western frontier. He had recently sue
ceeded Gen. n. P. Banks in command OF
the troops in the Gulf department. Gen.
Granger had been a division commander
under Gen. Grant at Chattanooga, and
had incurred the disaPprobation Of
Grant. who detected in him a tendency
to question the orders of his superiors.
This had resulted in Gen. Granger being
granted a leave OF absence. and in his
final assignment to the Gu,f department.
President Lincoln was cogniZant OF
these facts, and with characteristic
thoughtfulness seized an opportunity to
pay a graceful compliment-;hough one
perhaps out OF proportion to the service
rendered-to two jealous officers who
otherwise might have continued to feel
that they were working without recogni-
ton.
