If any army except the Germans
were attacking verdun the attempt
to take the position would have been
abandoned long ago. But the Ger
mans still hang on. They do not
seem to know when they get the
worst of it. The German persever-
ance and tenacity will accomplish
much. but not the impossible. YER
dun is the first point of large i'm
|portance where the Germans have
failed in a long siege.

The Des Moines politicians ought
to get the thought out of their heads
that they are the whole thing in
Iowa. Why, Harding beat the Des
Moines candidate for governor in
Des Moines before the primaries by
better than two to one. This shows
that the people Of Des Moines. as
well as the people of the state, are
getting tired Of the gang.
They are now trying to get Henry
Ford to accept the prohibition nom

Henry SHES at the suggestion. He
was candidate for president before
the republican primaries in some Of
