featuring Company, Of Des Molnes, Is
to make the trip from Davenport TO
Council Bluffs on the River to-RiVer

GOVERNMENT NOT GUILTY

Several times has this government set forth it's position in regard to the sale of firearms to belIigerents. and in addition there has been much printed for the purpose of clearing up any mis- understanding in that regard. That there cannot be too much publicity in this regard is evidenced by the uues- ton which was asked of Sir Edward Gray in the British house of com mons when one of the members de- sired to know if The Hague conven- ton, wherein reference is made to the sale of arms, was being violated by the government of the United States.
 It is to be supposed that the ques- ton was prompted by the amount of agitation which has been started in the endeavor to get this country to declare an embargo on the exportation Of munitions of war. In this connec- ton it is easy to give the impression that this country is selling firearms to the countries at war.
 As a matter of fact, however. this is not so and never has been. This country has been carefully following the requirements of international law and it intends to continue to do so. The reply of the British foreign sec retary left no question for doubt as to this fact. This country Is not sell ing arms to the allies despite the ire quency with which that statement is made.
 Business houses of this country, with which the government is in no way connected, have the right to sell fire arms to each and every one of the countries at war It is not a violation Of international law, but a practice recognized as perfectly proper and which others have always followed. These transactions, however, are open to all who can take the goods away and in no way can be looked upon as an act of the government

try in March in comparison with the total of 1,703,2o3 pounds in March, 1914. These show large gains, but not so great as do the figures for the fresh beef exports which reached the large total of 15,334,3SO pounds last March against the puny 506,722 pounds a. year ago.
 z What is true of beef is also true of pork. Bacon exports in March amount ed to 66.S20.000, where only 13,606,0O0 pounds went out of the country year ago. Hams and shoulders didn't gain as much but they jumped from 12,- 211, ,4S5 last year to 25.843,673 this year in March.
 This all means much of importance to a certain section of the country and when those cattle and hog raisers. like the growers of wheat, say that they did not know that prosperity had been away, they have reason to think that their good fortune is one of the results of the devastating European war. We were found with the goods and are reaping the benefit.

Working in Khaki.

''The success which has attended the experiment O: placing workmen at Liverpool in khaki is very interesting from psychological standpoint" !" writes a college professor to one of the London newspapers. He explains:
 T have frequently been told by re- cruits in the army that, although they may have felt some sort of enthusiasm when drilling in civilian costume it has been of a lukewarm character compared with the intensity of spirit which seemed to develop after they had donned their uniforms and been SUD- piled with rifles.
 Tn this emotional eIatien through change of clothing is illustrated a very common rule of life, which has been felt by most of us in the course of everyday existence. The bishop or parson who discards his clerical attire and gets into his golf1ng garb throws aside memories of theological argu- ments and concentrates on the hope of emulating the strokes of Braid or a Vardon. A hospital nurse lives up to the glorious traditions of her uniform. A change into evening dress is much more potent appetizer than a sherry and bitters."

Fight Near Suez. Canal.

There were two steamers bound from England to India which passed through the Suez Canal while the attack by the Turkish troops was actually in
 progress. One of these carried a con- siderable number of passengers, who were privileged to get a more com piete panoramic view of a big battle field than has probably been the good fortune of non-military observers in
 any other field of action. They not only saw fragments of the repulsed
 Turks at Kintara. but also the advance of British troops into the desert in their wide f1anking movement further down the canal.
 A letter from one of these passengers says in part:
 "A few minutes after we left Port Said notice was sent around that
 passengers were to keep to the port
 decks, as Turkish snipers were at work
 on the north side of the canal.
 For the first ten miles all the low lying land had been flooded, but from troops entrenched. Every tenth mile was a camp, and about every hundred yards between were small trenches containing about a dozen Indians. Further up the troops were mostly
 New Zealanders and Australians.
 About the thirtieth mile we passed the Indian marine cruiser Hardinge, and here was our first evidence of there having been fight, for her funnel was gone all the way down one side and the other side was riddled with bullets and her bridge gone. Of
 course ships in the canal pass within
 few feet of each other, so we could see everything. Her captain and pilot,
 who were on the bridge at the time, were killed, and about sixteen others were wounded.
 From this time on we passed sev-
 eral warships. and troops were on both sides of the canal. We amused
 ourselves by throwing tins of cigarettes out to them. We cleared all the cigar cites from the bar.
 All this time we were going at eight miles an hour, which is three
 miles more then the speed limit, so 1t
 was evident that they wanted to get
 us through the canal as quickly as possible.
 At the fortieth mile the men in the
 trenches told us that they had been
 engag ged with the enemy of the pre-
 vious day and that the Turks were now about eight miles off. I went up on the deck and saw troops in the dis

HELPED BY THE WAR.

Many more thaR certain lines of in- dustry which cater to the munitions of war market are feeling the benefits from the war. The demands from across the water, and from those coun- tries which Europe has supplied in the past, are large especially for food Etufrs. This Is we'll indicated by the export figures in comparison with last year at this time.
 From these it is indicated that the raisers of bees and the packers are getting their share. During the month of March this year there were ex- ported 6.930.00o pounds of canned beet against shipments Of 39.4o0 rounds a year ago There were 3. A9l ,o7S pounds ef pickied beef sent out, of the coun-

 high and I could not see any great distance. except between occasional gaps.
 But at the forty sixth mile saw a
 dead horse, half on the bank and half | in the water, and a little further a
 dead camel. Then the excitement be-
 gan. First one dead Turk was seen, then two, then a batch of seven or | eight, and at the forty seventh mile, a crowd of them, with a number of 1 broken small boats. full of dead, sim ply smashed to pieces, some hanging
 over the side with a leg gone, others without an arm, and some you could
 not recognize as men at all. Just here 1 the banks are quite high, but they slope down to the water, and on these slopes were dead Turks in all sorts of positions. Some had fallen with their heads and shoulders just in the water I climed up in the rigging to see what
 was over the top of the bank, and there I saw almost hundreds. ''It appeared that the Turks were seen coming, and the warships in the canal allowed them to throw a pom | toon across.

"On arrival at the Lakes we an- chored for the night with all lights
 out and among about thirty other ships,
 Fighting was going on all night a little further up the canal, and we
 thought we should be held up in the Lakes, but we started off the next
 morning, with our bridge and deck protected by sand bags.
 From here to Suez we passed camp after camp of soldiers. Most of them had been in action. The Turks were about eight miles away.
 "A little further on we heard the guns and saw the British troops mov- i ing off to the attack. The battle was quite a distance inland. I could see the smoke from the guns through my 1 glasses. There were some low sand | hills about five miles away. and I could see men on this ridge. The | British had several thousand men and 1 six guns marching over the flat ground | for this ridge.

ANOTHER WIRELESS ACHIEVE.
 MENT.

Though for the present it will be used solely for government purposes it is impossible to overlook the i'm portance which is attached to the an nouncement that the experiments WSich have been made in behalf of direct wireless communications be- tween the station at Arlington and that at Darfen in the Canal Zone have resulted in success.
 The Canal Zone is a locality with which Washington has need of being in close touch. It is vitally concerned in the investment which has been made there and most certainly will be hence forth in it's development Many ques- tions are likely to arise on which Washington will have to pass and no greater advantage could be secured than such a means of quick transpor- tation of messages.
 The recognition of this has resulted in the setting up of a, powerful radio station under the firm belief that de- spite the intervening mountain ranges communication through the air would be not only possible. but entirely prac- tical. The attainment is therefore the cause for great satisfaction. It has gone beyond the experimental stage even as many other tests made with wireless have.
 Even though the Canal Zone is look ed upon as a commercial enterprise it is also to be remembered that it is a point of vital strategic importance the defense of which this country has already anticipated and for which it has already made extensive prepara- tions. The necessity of overcoming the isolation could not be overlooked and the wireless gives an added and most valuable protection. It is an- other wireless victory.

the administration of their internal affairs practically in their own hands and their privileges IS a caste almost as pronounced as were those of the Spartan soldier-citizen, or more com parable to the soldier-caste of older Indain organization. The Cossacks came of the original Slav stock, but they were those SlavS who never bow ed their heads beneath a yoke foreign or domestic, who lived a free life on the borders of their races civilization, wandering, fighting, bueanneer SIaJ tribes, who penetrated deeply into Tar tar and Georgian lands, who lived by the hunt and by plunder, and whe maintained themselves on the borde7s of Asia and Europe free of all serf- dom.
 These sturdy Russian wanderers assimilated many adventurous ele- ments, took up among them many Tartars and Slavs, and so, today tho Cossack type is a more or less dis tinct one. The total Cossack popula ton of Russia is more than 3,000,000
 Some years ago, they owned nearly 146, ,500,000 acres of land, of whicf 5000, 900 arable and 9,400,000 forest land This land is held by the Cos sacks in community partition as State reward for their military ser vice It will be seen that the CossacE holdings amount to about 50 acres fo1 each man, woman and child of the peo- pie. There Is an admiring, half envi' ous Russian catchword being as free and as rich as Cossack.'
 '"The Cossacks are the rough riders of Europe. As the cowboys of the American plains and the gauchos o1 the Pampas, the Cossacks are an in tensely interesting, wild, free, plain folk, who live in the saddle in the open places, and whose rough democ- racy is the expression of the same naive, rudimentary culture as that of their New World brothers in-Spirit. None of their members are allowed to starve, and none of them have sue ceeded in winning overmastering posi- tion through the laying up of great wealth.
 "The Cossaek is favored by the State, and is a main prop of the States authority. To be born Cos sack is to be born soldier. Every Cossack bears the obligation of twenty years military service. He enters in to this service at the age of 1S;- spends 3 years in a preliminary Cossack di- vision; next passes 12 years in active service, and spends his last , mili- tary years in the Cossack reserve. Ii is the picked men from his ranks who constitute the Imperial Guard body of the finest type of fighters, whom the Tsar can trust, when he can trust no one else around him. These Cos sack soldiers have been the greatest terror with which Russia has been able to threaten Europe; they have been the empires most efficient inter nal police, and they have marched eastward to the Pacific and southward to the zones of British influence, con- quering for the Tsar a vast domain including many nations. The Cossacks have dearly avenged their fellow Slavs for the hardships they have received at the hands of the Tartar hordes of Asia

AGAINST WALSH.

The report from Washington to the effect that "the White House Is not in sympathy with the publicity meth ods" of the industrial relations com mission should cause no surprise. In view of the manner in which Chair man Walsh has been making public addresses relative to the matters which have been before it and about witnesses who have been called to tes- tify, the president would have been justified in stopping such methods some time ago.
 It was plainly not the purpose for which the commission was created, but regardless of the object for which it is working, the endeavor of the head thereof to render public chastise- ment and become engaged in public controversies with those who are un- der investigation deserves only con- demnation. Whether or not the pres ident has contemplated asking for the resignation of Chairman Walsh, who, 1t is declared. has split the commits sion and promises to make useless the work of the body is only a mat ter of rumor, but there can be no question but what he has good cause for so doing.
 houCn WOu1u not De because ne has singled out the elder or the younger Rockefeller for his attacks, for he has as much right to select them as any one else, but because of the usurpation of his authority as the head of the commission to attempt to do what belongs to those to whom the commits sion's report is to be made. As an investigator his work should be con fined thereto and whatever comment or suggestions he has to make con- cerning their testimony and deserts should be embodied in the report. It will be well if the White House atti- tude holds him to it.

French Warfare and Gardening.

Among the many incongruities of the present campaign not the least strange contrast is that between the waging of trench warfare and the gar- dening which is carried or in many places by the British soldier. The gardens, which are mostly near the dugouts, are not of a very ambitious order. but when circumstances permit, considerable care is devoted to their cultivation.
 In some cases the small plots of growing primroses and daffodils are not more than 200 yards from the enemy, close behind the breastwork protecting their owners from the bull lets which whistle overhead and bury themselves with a vicious thud in the sandbags few feet away.
