NO PIPE
FOR DRUNKs OR WARRANTS IN
MANSFIELD
Plenty of Work Constantly on Tap
For All Able-bodied Men

For period of several years, Mt.
Vernon has desired some legal means
of forcing vagrants to work out their
nights lodging in the city lookup on
the streets the following day, or
"drunks" to work out their fines.
At the last regular meeting of city
council, City Solicitor Koons was au>
thorized to visit Mansfield and ascer-
tain what means were provided there
to work out such plan.
The following, from the Mansfield
News, will prove of timely interest,
not only to members of council, but
to the city at large:
Plenty OF good work for able-bodied
men around the police station. Men
who are able to get drunk, are able to
work, believes Mayor Lowrey, and he
assigns each man who has not enough
money to settle his BILL a place to
work and the workers do not have to
take the civil service examination in
order to work for the city.
Those who are a little short on
funds, need not have any hesitancy
in getting drunk foi they will not be
embarrassed by being asked to pay
their fines They may take it out in
trade. These men are given the priv
ilege of trading so much sweat of the
brow for so many dollars worth of
fine and costs. The city has a good
sized roller which is used in rolling
the sod in Central park. Two good
huskies are required to pull this roll
er and the city also has an adjustable
collar, guaranteed to fit any neck.

BONFIRE
A STEP FROM GAsoLlNE.FlLLED
GARAGE ExclTEs NEleHBoRs.
AND DEPARTMENT is CALLED
OUT.

A large bonfire burning within five
feet of garage where several gallons
of gasoline were stored caused prop
erty owners in the vicinity of West
Vine and Sandusky streets a great
deal of concern Thursday night until
the fire department arrived.
E. M. Rowley, who lives at 2O9
West Vine street, kindled a bonfire
in the rear of his home with the idea
of burning up some trash and without
thinking of the possible danger to
the garage of Harry Blocher, near
which he lighted the fire, because of
its being constructed Of sheet iron.
The fire, however, became so large
that some Of the negihbors became
afraid that the heat might explode
the gasoline stored in the garage, and
sent in a call for the fire department.
Upon their arrival, the firemen had
no difficulty in extinguishing the
blaze with chemicals.

IN JUSTICE TO GOV. cox
TO the Public:

TO the Public:
Information has come to me that.
following the announcement of nv
recommendation for appointment as
postmaster of Mt. Vernon, criticism
was made of ex-Gov Cox growing out
of the statement in the Washington
news of the recommendation that he
had indorsed me for the appointment.
This was an error, and in justice to
Gov Cox I desire to state the facts.
l believe | am well enough ac.
quainted with proprieties not to ask
for such an Endorsement, and I be.
lieve l know Gov. Cox well enough
to know that he would not comply
with such a request if made of him.
1t would be entirely indelicate and
out of place for him to indorse candi-
dates for postmasterships.
In connection with the campaign
made for postmaster, l wrote Gov.
Cox for simple statement as to the
circumstances of my appointment as
supervisor of public printing and the
manner in which | filled the office. 1t
was such a request as an employee
might make of his employer in leav-
ing his service
Gov. Cox wrote Postmaster General
Burleson just such letter as asked
for, and it's text plainly shows he was
not indorsing me for appointment as
postmaster. The letter from Gov
Cox to Postmaster General Burleson
is given below.

General Sr Douglas Haig! These are
the sole topics of the moment.
John Bull in Earnest.

JOnn Bull IN Earnest.
After two years of muddling, Stun
bling and laundering, the British ma
tion is finally in the war clear up to
John Bulls eyebrows. The zest for
war is evidenced in London today
is only comparable with that today
wave of patriotic fervor which was
Berlin's in the autumn of 1914. Two
years of paying the staggering price
of modern land fighting, at a rate
which England, because of her slow
mobilization, has not yet paid, has
robbed Germany of this zest-as it
has France in lesser measure. 1t
remains to be seen what effect two
years of full participation will have
on the British.
Involved in the situation developed
in England and Germany are two DOW
erful factors which combined seemed
to blight all possibilities of an early
peace. Neither of these factors is
fully understood by the people of the
opposing nation. Only a few of the
leaders have sensed them. These fac
tors are, first, England's determine
tion to fight until the allies can die
tate peace which will not only elm
mate the menace of German militia
ism, but which will also eliminate the
menace of German commercialism:
and, secondary, Germany's determine
tion, and apparent ability, to main
tain successful defensive indefinitely
meanwhile hoping t6 ALLEVIATE one or
more of the allies or to see one or
more of them break under the mill
to- or financial strain.
German leaders apparently entirely
underestimate the marvellous deter
mination with which the British ma
tion has been fired, a determination
which must be seen first hand to be
understood. They are unable to COM
prehend that Englishmen fully un-
derstand, and have agreed to pay
whatever price is necessary to ac-
complish the knockout of Germany.
Neither is there in. Germany any ap-
preciable realization of the extent to
which the British are preparing to 90
in their peace demands.
On the other hand, few persons in
England have guessed or appreciate
Germany's defensive strength, and the
false impression is general that Ger
many's peace desires are predicted
on fear. Germany will consider no
peace now at any terms the allies
would ever mention because what the
allies want now is not peace, but Ger
many broken. 1t will take years of
more severe punishment than has yet
been inflicted by the allies before any
such peace can be forced on Germany.
On the other hand, Germany's only
possible change of peace on terms
even approaching those with which
she is now angling depends upon her
ability to hold her enemies at bay un-
til financial ruin forces a compro-
mise. Neither condition promises
much for an early peace.
