LOOKING AHEAD.


c G. Holtlen, president of the Iowa
State Hotel Mems Association, today
offered a wise and timely suggestion
to those who attended the semi annual
convention at Davenport. The Water
loo man has sufficient foresight to see
that steps must be taken at once to
utilize the bar-rooms which will be left
vacant In every hotel in Iowa after
Jan. 1, 1916, and he offers the quick
service lunch counter as substitute
on the grounds that it will be as profit
able to serve both food and drink as
merely drink alone.
| The plan Ia commendable as is the
proposition which Mr.. Holden intends
| to bring to the attention OF the con-
Mems association which opens to-
morrow. He contends that the new
method of burning oil and water for
fuel will eventually supplant coal and
| its accompanying dirt, ashes, odor and
smoke.
And If hotels find it possible to sup
(, pect the day to come when the smoke
Of factories no longer darkens the sky
Let US hope that the proposition proves
practicable.

have gained something they didn't ex-

had counted upon. They are better on

SCIENCE AND SLAUGHTER.
Scientific Assistance in the Favorite

reason to be grateful to science for

in the June Atlantic. Nor is he re-
miss in taking advantage of her
progress. This war is probably the
greatest and most destructive, as
we'll as the most scientific, since crea-
ton. Mr.. Asquith tells us that g.
600, 900 men are now trying TO kill
cne another as fast as possible in Eu-
rope, and his is low estimate. There
they stand, in long opposing lines.
On one front the battle line is said
to extend nearly 400 miles: on the
other nearly twice as far. In the
west, sheer numbers and the accu-
racy of Industrious science almost
prevent movement. For nearly five
months now those men, in their ef-
fort to kill and escape death, nave
lived below the surface. like rabbits
or primeval troglodytes. They have
fioundered in oozing mud-"the fifth
element" as Napoleon called it. They
have stood day and night in trenches,
soaked to their middle by cold water,
until their limbs swelled purple and
threatened gangrene. The concus-
sion of exploding shells has driven
their eyes into their heads so that
they see no more; shock and horror
have struck them speechless. Their
reason is overturned; some weep
without ceasing; some gibber like
ghosts. Limbs are scattered over the
countryside. Hot-smelling blood
pours from their bodies in unexpect-
ed quantity.

The Whistle Test.

A Partisan journal tells a little
story of a young Partisan who, In
civil life, had long worn a monocle
in his left eye, and had continued the
habit as an officer. He had been
wounded. was cured and asked to be
returned to the front. He was to be
examined, and concealed the mon
ocle. thinking he might be charged
with myopia in one eye. When the
chief surgeon examined him. after
looking we'll over his face, he said
sharply. Whistler"
The soldier whistled like black
bird.
This is curious" said the sur
geon, and, calling a young assistant,
he said again to the soldier, "Whis-
tle." He whistled again. That is
curious" said the young assistant.
Another surgeon entered and the
patient was called upon for the third
time to whistle.
"Ah." said the surgeon. this is
curious"
But" expostulated the soldier. 1
don't see why there is so much OF
this. I'm not to serve as locomo-
tive"
1T is all right" said the chief sur
geon. You may return to the
front"
When the soldier arrived at his
regiment he gave to the regimental
surgeon the note that had been CIV
en- him by the examiner. This sur
geon said in his turn: "Will YOU
please whistler" He whistled. This
is curious said the surgeon.
1t seems that when man wears a
monocle it gives to the face the ap-
pearance of facial paralysis. The
operation of whistling is test. The
facial paralytic cannot whistle.

Naval Losses in the Straits.

The successful torpedo attack on
the British Triumph operating in the
Gulf of Saros in support of allied
troops, again emphasized the serious
nature of the task Of facing the allied
forces at the Dardanelles. Already
the British navy has lost more bat
tleships in this operation than have
been sacrificed in all other naval
operations put togather. The Ocean
and Irresistible ware sunk by shell
fire and torpedoes sent from shore
tubes in the much-criticised sea at
tack upon the Dardanelles on March
1S: the Goliath was sunk by tor
pedo from Turkish destroyer while
operating in conjunction with the
allies forces, and the Triumph was
the victim of Turkish submarine,
A floating mine accounted for the
French battleship Bouvet. 1t is evil
dent that thus far the Turkish de-
fensive on land and sea has proved
itself superior to the offensive
strength developed by the allies.
Will this discrepancy continue?
The news from Gallipoli indicates
that within the past week both
armies have been strongly reinforc-
ed, the allies bringing their strength
up to 10000 men, while the Turks
have added some of the forces
which were operating against the
Russians in the Caucasus. This in
dicates a forthcoming clash of de-
cisive importance.
The allies cannot permit the Gal
lipoli operations to drag. While the
Turkish forts are still in action the
invaders hold on the peninsula is
precarious. French and British
troops are operating far from their
bases and are dependent upon sea

A Few .Amdavits.

We have now arrived at the affi-
davit stage of the Lusitania case. A
gentleman named Gustav Stable,
whose name indicates his entire i'm
partiality, and who is said to be both
a German reservist and an employe
of the German consulate in New York
city, swears that he was taken on
board the Lusitania by a steward,
the night before the ship sailed, and
that he saw four guns mounted on
lower deck. A New York boarding
house keeper swears that the same
steward told her the Lusitania car
Grieve swears that he heard the
ried guns, and some one named
steward say so to the boarding house
keeper. Also, we have the swsrn
statement of an individual named
Bruckner. who says that while stand
ing on the Cunard dock, he saw a
gun mounted on the Lusitania.
We can dismiss the testimony OF
the boarding house keeper and the
testimony of Grieve as hearsay, which
no court of law, let alone the govern
ment of the United States, would for
one instant consider. AS for Mr..
Stable his name, his occupation and
his presumed prejudices call for an
Investigation which should go con-
siderably further than the question

The Movies" as an Industry.

Even the hundreds of thousands
of motion picture fans fail TO realize
rho extent of the movie" as an in
dustry. According to the federal
census bureau. $4,000 miles Of film
was manufactured for the United
States at a cost of s37,0O0,Oo0 in the
last eleven months Of 1914.
The motion picture business is
the fifth largest industry in the
United States. and this applies only
TO the manufacture Of film. Some
feature films cost as high as $780,
900. 1t is estimated that 10000
900 people daily visit the movies in
$4,000 motion picture theatres.
The development Of the motion
picture industry has been one of the
marvels of the present age. That
motion pictures had come to stay
was early published. but recognition
of their educational value is only a
matter of the past few years. FROM
the crude pictures of the early days
to the remarkable depictions of to-
day is long step.
There is nothing now that the mo-
ton picture does not reproduce for
the amusement and enlightenment Of
it's patrons.
