Who Speaks For These?

From the Milwaukee Journal.
"A vigorous protest" we read, lis soon
20 bc voiced against the movement i'm the
republican, party to commit hat organ
ization TO a reactionary candidate in 1916. =
1t is time.
The reactionaries have beer making Q.
very !old noise. Under the enthusiastic
direction of Penrose and Barnes and
Hilles and others of their coterle, the
trumpeter has sounded his blast. There
has been a cry of "Fall In! Fail in!
This is the republican party. We will fry
the fat from business men once more.
We will fling the banner of lama to the
breeze. We will shout the cry of pros
perity: We shalt forget that We were the
minority OF the republicans in 1912 and
forgive tho majority II they will join us.
We snail elect a congress that-well. it's

For Press Freedoms Sake.

From the Wisconsin State Journal.
Charles X. Miller, editor-in-chief OF the
New York Times, appeared before the con-
gressional committee OF inquiry into the
ship purchase lobby and denounced that
investigation as inquisitorial and an at
tack upon the freedom of the press.
The New York Times. for reasons of it's
own. may feel this a about 1t, but this
neSal,aper does not, and 1t refuses to let

American press jealous of it's freedom.

HERE'S ONE PLACE THAT
WAR DOES NOT AFFECT

There are still places which have not
heard of the world war after nearly
seven months of conflict. The secre-
tary OF the postmaster general, in a
casual report. mentions the fact that
Tristan da Cuniia. "A group of British
Stands in the South Atlantic. has not
received II mai! since the outbreak of
the war.
These islands are entirely dependent
upon chance communication from South
Africa, 100 miles away. Often the in
habi,ants are II year or more without
communication fro!a the outside world.
Thu population is only about so in
number. mainly descendants OF ship
wrecked sailors. and al English.
Another place that has not heard Of
the var Is YGuitos. III eastern Peru.
Its letters are taken b. British mail
steamers up the Amazon TO Manaos,
and thence across South America.

them. the warning nations of Europe
have succeeded in protecting their
armies from disablement by typhoid.
Man of the guesses as to wounds
nave gone wrong. Missiles have
changed so, methods of fighting have
changed SO. that preconceived opinions
as 70 wounds have not worked out. The
notion was that the high speed jack
eted bullet would bore a small. clean
hole which would heal readily without
infection.
Where this calculation has fallen
down is tina it did not take account
of certain facts. There are at least
TWO types of bullets in use by the ar
mics. The one with the blunter nose
has "A greater tendency to keep nose
flrst and make a clean hole. The one
with d pointed nose has Il greater tend
ency to whirl over and enter the soldier
with its base first. or sideways. or
slanting.
So. much depends on the speed of
the bullet. Even though Il bullet leaves
he muZzle at a high velocity. in time it
slows up. Battle ines have been moved
farther apart, and close fighting not
being In vogue. the wounds are being
made by bullets travelling at low We
locity. y steel caSed bullet (so-called)
retains Its boring shape until it meets
a hard substance. III a steel case bull
let strikes a stone or amy hard sub
stance it is deformed.
Little fighting is being done in the
open. AS soon as d line is occupied the
men dig into the ground. Men are
shooting from behind distinctions and
from within trenches. Only a small
proportion of the wounded are struck
by bullets that have MOI previously
struck some d%eforning body.
From every side there come charges
that the opposition is using dumduln
bullets. A dumdum bullet is one with
a soft nose. The theory was that cloth
ing. skin. any obstruction. would flat
ten the soft nose and thus cause Il
tearing wound. An embankment or
stone wall will do for a steel jacketel
bullet what a Goa did for the dunn
dunn.
The wounds are being found to be
ragged and the bullets removed are as
flattened as We're dumdums. FL
nally. a large proportion of the wounds
are being made by pieces of shrapnel.
Shrapnel Wounds are always jagged
and irregular.
