the British fleet. and to suppress all
ships which ply to English ports,
thus to aid in cutting off the British
food supply The German empire is
engaged in war and is determined to
win and to discuss circumstances and
moralities afterward. If we break
off diplomatic relations with Ger
many, we accomplish nothing, we
are then on the way to war, not hav-
ing either a man or a gun ready. If
we ever intended to go to war with
Germany, the time has passed. If
we had had an army and navy
worth while, as we can see it now,
this republic ought to have interven-
ed when Belgium was invaded. If
we had had an army and navy worth
while, this country ought to have in
tervened when the Lusitania was
sunk. We have no army and no
navy. We are only to pocket our in
suits and keep our mouths shut. In
this way we save lots of money, and
many precious lives. But we are
certainly ashamed of ourselves when
we look in the mirror, We would
suggest that the state department
cease its efforts and that we take
what comes. II we went into the
European war now, we would be
stuck for a large portion of the en-
tire war expense. We would have
to pay just as if we had been in it
from the start. Great Britain would
stop recruiting. Great Britain would
|say, "Let Uncle Sam do it, There
are a thousand reasons why we
should not go to war with these Eur
opean powers. Our pressing duty is
to build up loyalty at home in order
that we may have nobody ready to
fire in the rear. The most urgent
thing welhave at hand is to compel
Jail Americans to be Americans with
|out regard to birthplace.
Our next pressing duty is to for
bid immigration Of any kind, good
or bad. for ten years. We need not
deport anyone, but we can make all
who remain behave. If any Ameri-
can wishes to see where his country
is and what it is doing, let him read
the story of the black handlers in
Chicago, where the number Of MUIR
ders exceeds the number of murders
from all other causes. Let us begin
to conduct the republic as if we ex-
pected the republic to succeed
Unless we increase the army, the
navy and the coast defenses, our
handful Of soldiers should be with
drawn from Mexico at once. Our
Mexican problem is too big to be
settled by an cxpeditionary force.

adequate preparedness.

adequate preparedness. Military
training of the right sort develops
discipline, health, self-reliance,
manners, patriotism, good citizen
ship and strength to defend the
country in case of need. The increase
in the death rate in this country in
people above 40 years Of age has
been 10 per cent in the last ten
years. This is largely due to lack of
personal discipline in diet, exercise
and outdoor living. We need pre-
paredness not only for, national de-
Tense, but for right living and good
We might just as we'll
get away from the notion that pre-
paredness means huge army of reg
ulars. What we need Is huge
army of citizens equipped by educa-
ton and training to step into the
ranks as efficient defenders OF democ-
racy and humanity should the need
arise. There need be no great adj
expense to program of
which will be adequate
to the needs of the age in which we

REGULAR ARMIES.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The
truth Is beginning to make itself ap-
parent that regular armies are nc
longer adequate in this or any other
country to sustain the stress which
may be placed upon them. Our reg
ular army, plus the national guard
would be unable to cope with Mex
leo if it were called upon to do So
England had an excellent army as
| far as it. went when the European
war broke. But the pitifully small
number Of English compared with
the hosts engaged in the war made
them but drop in bucket.
England has been Obliged to ere
ate an army adequate to it's needs
out of raw material. 1t has requir-
| ed year and a half to accomplish
this end and it is not yet finished.
The world itself is just waking to
the monstrous military strength a
modern nation may possess If it de-
votes itself to the task of prepare
ton for such work. We are awak-
ing to the fact that If we were call
ed upon to meet such an emergency
as confronted Europe year ago last
August we should need the services
Of most of our men who possess
physical qualifications capable Of be-
ing developed into soldiers.
Our army As efficient as far as it
goes. We were able to handle the
situation which confronted us in the
Spanish-American contest. We
could with the regulars, the militia
and some volunteers handle Mexico.
But if we were assailed by a first
class power our regular army and
the militia combined would not con-
stitute an adequate first line of de-
tense behind which to organize,
train and equip a volunteer force.
The day when regular armies can do
the fighting for a nation is past.
Most Of the wars In modern his
tory have been colonial in their ma
ture. England's campaigns in Egypt,
India and Africa were of this ma
ture. Our civil war was an excep-
ton. In this both sides reached the
stage. If we had moth
ng more to anticipate in the future
han some such conflict as we had
with Spain or the one in prospect
With Mexico our present plan would
,e adequate. We could then depend
ipon our regular army and the mi
itia But there is no danger in this
direction. If we are to prepare for
he danger which threatens our mod
I'm civilization we must go beyond
he present plans and adopt some
ystem of training our boys which
will make all who are physically
apable fit to serve the country
hould the need arise.
We need in America many import
mt elements of strength which we
ould develop in connection with

banks candidacy the consideration it

at any stage of the war complained
of the United States for permitting
citizens of this country to- sell NUM-
lions Of war to the allies. True,
German people have complained and
Germans in this country have de-
nounced such policy, but the Ger
man government has always favored
the selling of munitions and will
continue in that policy when the
present war is over. Germany sold
to Spain when Spain was fighting
the United States. She sold to both
Japan and Russia when those coun-
tries were in war. This being the
situation there is no just cause for
GarImrta.pq sympathlizee g to complain ia il
because the allies are buying muni-
lions in the United States. Germany
| is at liberty to buy here and would
buy here if she could get, the goods,
and everybody knows it. In fact she
has bought some rifles and shells in
this country since the beginning of
the war.

A few years ago the Hon. Frank
Up. Woods was going to have con-
gress establish an experimental pa
| per manufacturing plant somewhere
in the Tenth congressional district.
| It has been claimed that paper could
be made from cornstalks. Iowa has
an abundance of this material and
it would be a great thing if merch-
antable paper could be made from it.
1t would furnish a market for pro-
duct that is now without value and
would have "a tendency to reduce
the price of paper. Just why Mr..
Woods never carried out his plan for
an experimental plant in Iowa is not
known. Possibly he was unable to
interest congress in the scheme, but
if the newspapers of the country
would take the matter up in earnest
it is likely congress could be prevail
ed upon to make some experiments
along the lines indicated. Much
money is expended every year in
making experiments along various
lines and it is not asking too much
that congress do something that
might help publishers and printers.

1t is unfortunate that the presi-
Dental election is to take place in
| this country before the close of the
European war. No matter what
course the administration takes,
many people will think the president
| is only playing politics and that he
is doing so and SO merely to get
votes. The same is true of those
who oppose him. The presidents
friends and supporters will look up
on all criticisms of his course as the
|vaporings Of men who want to turn
him out of, the presidency merely to
let someone else in. Upon the eve
of presidential election it is diff
fcult problem to get a fair hearing
upon the real and important issues
of the war.
England in blockading Germany
and attempting to bring Germany to
terms by starvation is following pre-
cedent and customs of wars, and is
| in harmony with agreements enter
ed into at The Hague On the other
hand, Germany in sinking passen-
ger and freight ships without warn
ling is going against precedent and
custom and is doing something that
no other nation has done in modern
times. The United States govern
ment did it's best to blockade the
southern Confederacy during the
|civil war. 1t may seem harsh for
England to pursue such course to-
wards Germany, put it is course
permitted by treaties and agree
ments, hence is a right to be exer-
cised when necessary. Herein lies
the difference between the attempt
ed starvation policy of England and
the submarine notwithstanding pol
icy OF Germany.
President Wilson's latest demands
upon Germany are certainly strong
enough to suit the war party and it
is now up to congress to make the
next move. The question is, shall
our diplomatic relations with Ger
many be broken? If Germany fails
to respond to the suggestions of the
president in relation to the method
of it's submarine warfare against
passenger and freight ships the
stand of the president should be
sustained by congress. A diplomatic
break with Germany does not neces-
sarily mean war, though it is a step
in that direction. Of course the
presidents stand now is in contra
1iction of the administrations atti-
.ude when Secretary Lansing wrote
20 England, France and Russia |
lnent the submarine question about |
he middle of last February. How
ever, this only proves that the adj
is weak and does not
'elieve the country of the necessity

is.

Sentiment is growing in favor OF
1.-THE plan to have county auditors
furnish automobile plates to those
who pay licenses. Now everybody is
wondering why the legislature auth
|crized but one officer in the state to
furnish them. 1t is probably due to
the fact that when the license law
was enacted there were only few
thousand cars in Iowa and it was
not foreseen that, the number would
reach 100000 before the expiration
of many years. 1t is believed there
will be at least 10000 numbers is
sued this year in this state and it is
estimated that by 1920 the number
will reach 100000.
