Notice to Subscribers.
CURRENT COMMENT.

Some mistakes never can be cor
rected, but are dearly paid for. The
Republican choice for President in
1908 was Gov. Hughes. He would
have been elected, would have made
great progressive President, been
reelected in 1912 and Woodrow Will
son would be now private citizen
of New Jersey.

Republicans might as well joyously
concede that in the practical game of
practical politics the Democrats SIM
ply smothered them in this gladstone
catastrophe of 1916. The Big Hit
which the Democrats put on, looking
serious all the while, was the popular
song of the year, ''Hc kept Us Out Of
War" 1t was the little trick which
brought home the bacon. And there
is no use for the Republicans to get
sore because today the Democrats all
over the country are laughing them
selves to death about it-they have
right to bust themselves a laughin'.
In happy throngs they are gathering
TO recount how they had the cold
shivers running down the spines of the
dear people, how they had splendid
women softly weeping as they told
how the horrors of war would descend
like an avalanche if Hughes should
be elected! And let 'em haw, haw-
for Heavens Sake haven't they earned
the right to do it? Any set of fellows
who are smart enough to put as rich
thing as that over are some smart,
and Republicans might as well enjoy
the joke with the rest of the folks.

months ago, and that in the week pre-

Of ammunition consumed exceeded the
entire British production during the

TWO ECONOMIC SYSTEMS BACK
OF GERMAN LINES IN FRANCE

AT THE GERMAN FIELD BASE ON
THE SOMME FRONT, August IS, via
Berlin and London, August 16.-Behind
tho battle front the Germans are fol-
lowing their professions and business
pursuits, the same as at home. There
are little restaurants where officers
and men may eat things not obtainable
in their messes; book stores. a dentist,
matchmaker. oculists and opticians
and all classes of workshops required
by the army.
In the bookshops good literature Of
all kinds may be purchased, the stock
of one of them including German
translations Of Carlyle. Bulwer Lytton,
Mark Twain. Alphonse E. Daudet. Alex
andre Dumas and other writer's. The
dentist thus far during the year has
had 4.13s patients. among them being
the Marquis Davocourt, for whom he
made q set of false teeth.
The oculists and opticians nave as
customers men whose chief duty is to
watch the sky all day for enemy avi-
ators-a severe strain on their eyes.

French workmen are welcome to sell
their labor, they apparently are not

sidering this unpatriotic.
The recent heavy artillery lombard

building innumerable bombproofs,
among which are dressing stations and
hospitals. The average depth of these

crease in output Of all kinds Of guns
and munitions by his department. In

chine guns for the armies in the field
were being supplied entirely from home
sources.
The quality Of the guns and munitions.
he said, was equal to the quantity, the
artillery having during the recent fight
ing acquitted itself to the entire salts
faction Of the British army, and having
as well received the praise OF the French
ministry of munitions. This statement,
he added, was particularly true of the
heavy guns and howitzers.
Helping Out Her Allies.
Mr.. Montagu pointed out that half OF
the engineering resources Of tho country
were required for the navy. but declared
that very shortly Great Britain would
have provided for her own requirements
and be able to devote herself exclusively
to the wants of her allies in regard to
machine guns.
Already. he said. she was sending large
amounts OF guns and munitions to her
allies, and in addition was sending to
France one-third Of her production of
shell steel and transferring to her allies
