sAnLE-THIs ISN'T A FUNERAL.

Davenport Democrat
When you greet a veteran. one OF
these sprghtly survivors Of a war OF
over so years ago, the occasion calls
for joyous greeting and the best story
you've got-not for any Of that stun
about the rapidly diminishing num-
Der Of the vets. the shortening Of the
Memorial day parades, and the pros
pect that this may be nearly the last
time the civil war survivors will get
together and exchange "reminiscences.
This isn't a funeral-it's a Grand
Army encampment.
Every boy that wore the blue in the
cos and who is still with us is full OF
life and the enjoyment of life-or he
wouldn't be coming most of the way
across the state to see his old com
rades again. He always was live
one-and he's a live one yet. Hes IN

Berlin is the place to argue that we
are in the wrong and that we will be
and ought to be defeated. There is
in the whole copy of the paper which
We have examined not an item, in
neither German nor in English-some
articles are printed in English, which
offers an iota of American encourage
ment, not an item that is clearly for
America and helpful to America. The
object of every item in 1t is to per-
suade men that we are in bad and
that we ought to get out just as soon
as we can get out. A reading of this
disloyal stuff must convince any one
that certain German language papers
printed in this country are fit sub
jects for the American censor. The
editors of these papers think that they
are smart, cute" they may think it
and that they are printing their dis
loyal stuff in such cleverly concealed
language that stupid Americans can
not detect that they are doing the
dirty work of the kaiser Just as much
now as they were doing it when Won
Bernstorff and Dumba were directors
of their utterances in America. But
the Americans are not as stupid as
these puppets of the kaiser think them
70 be. In the meantime, an American
who does not want TO get boiling mad
would better refrain from reading the
stuff that is printed in that Chicago
paper.

The Iowa encampment is being held
