APPRECIATES THE GATE CITY.

One of the elderly and highly regarded wom-
en- of Keokuk, one who for many long years
has lived here and watched the ebb and flow OF
the city with an interest almost equalmg an
idealized love, remarked recently that In her
view The Gate City is a newspaper that any
community should be proud of; that it is IN
variably on the right side in all discussions al
fecting the interest of our people and In the
larger sense appeals to wise judgment in dis
cussion Of matters of national and state con-
Germ. Commentator from such source IS an
honor. 1t is applause 'to the very echo, that
should applaud again elsewhere Although
the path trod may be known to be the right one,
it is nevertheless gratifying to be commended
for it.
Individuals in no other occupation or busl-
ness know better than those engaged In news
papermaking how keen thing is public sentl-
ment at times and how dead thing at other
times. No analysis of this condition has ever
been successfully made. But that sentiment,
when separate and expressed by individuals,
is oftentimes true reading of the barometer as
affecting the esteem in which any public print
is held. So in this case, the judgment Of this
woman may be taken as an indication Of the at
titude of the major portion of the readers OF
this newspaper

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
80 remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon !;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it. no matter how much
dandruf you may have. >
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail

| Gerard Fiennes, In London OBJ
server: Hearty as has been the well
come accorded to the United States
as an ally, it has been impossible for
those who have thought the matter
out from the point of view OF sea
power to conceal from themselves
the fact that the decision to bring
great American army over to the
European battlefields could not but
prove an embarrassing drain upon
the tonnage available to the allies,
even il the German submarine cam
paign should fail Prior to the col
lapse Of Russia as figting force, 1t
was even maintained that the gen
eral cause would best be served II
the Americans refrained from send
| ing an army to the battle front, but
| aided US with shipping. naval and
mercantile, with money and ma
terials. Events, however, have upset
calculations on the eastern front,
and, by hook or crook, our friends
| from across the Atlantic are coming
| into the field to redress the disturbed
| balance. The Germans base their
| last hope Of making a drawn fight
of it on the ability of the U-boats to
prevent the appearance of the Amer
| leans on their front. This fact brings
out more clearly that ever what has
always been true-that sea power is
the determining factor OF the
! struggle.
Let the case once more be stated
in the barest simplicity. The popu-
lation of this country are on one
side of the Atlantic, and the bulk OF
their food supply is produced on the
other. A million more non-producers,
! let us say, are going to be trans
ported to that side where their food
| is not, and if they are to exist over
here, their food and other things
necessary for them must follow
them. Europe cannot supply them.
Calculations have shown that, let
! the U-boats do the worst they are
likely to do, we have still just enough
tonnage, in hand or in sight, to en-
able us to carry on. But there is not
enough also to transport great
American army over 5000 miles Of
sea and to maintain it there. We
are adding to the number of our ner-
chant ships at rate which, if nothing
/ unforeseen happens, will enable US
about to make good the depredations
of the U-boats. We looked for some
thing more than ships building to
British orders in American yards.
/ But these, it seems. the Americans
/ themselves intend to requisition, and
7 1t is impossible, under the circum-
/ stances, to quarrel with their deci-
sion. But, under all these circum-
stances, and having lent tonnage,
moreover. to our other allies, 1t Is
patiently impossible that we can lend
more to the Americans for the pur-
pose of moving and supplying their
army They must rely on their own
resources.
1 Considerations such as these have
drawn from the controller of ship

GOOD GAMES TO COME
STANDING Of Teams,

The games of indoor baseball OF
the Commercial Baseball league play
ed last evening at the tY" gym ended
the first round of the series.
1t was expected that the game be-
tween Huiskamps and National Lead
would be warm one ard 1t was
up to the fifth after which the
friends of National Lead seemed to
lose interest The game was holly
contested during the first four in
nings, the fourth ending with Ma
tional Lead slightly ahead. In the
fifth Huiskamps got very busy and
stayed busy through the entire In
ming. Before it closed they bagged
thirteen scores. After that interest
sagged a bit, and National Lead
failed to catch up. At the end the
score was 16 to in favor Of Huis-
kamps. However, National Lead is
not yet down and out as that team
and Huiskamps are tied in the num-
Der of games won in the series SO
far There are some very lively
games yet ahead, and it is still
everybody's fight.
The game between Kellogg Birge
and the Electrics was another one
sided affair. K.-B. made big lead
in the first inning, and the Electrics
did not get within shouting distance
ever after.
Charles King umpired both games.
L. Parsons scored for one game and
John Johnson the other.

AMERICAS GIGANTIC TASK

ping, Sir Joseph Maclay, statement
which rather takes ones breath away
at first reading, namely, that II tne
United States are to send the army
they are raising across and are 10
maintain it on this side, American
ship yards must turn out 6,00O,ooo
tons of shipping year; three times
as much, that is, as our YARDS naVe
ever turned out in their most pros
porous years of peace. In two years,
this would mean turning out ABOUT
| half the pre-war total OF the who're
mercantile marine of the British EN-
pire. Add the pre-existing tonnage OF
the American merchant navy anu
that of the informed enemy ships,
and some idea will be formed of the
size Of the business to which our
cousins have set their hands. Only a
comparatively small portion even OF
the first years output, of course, can
be ready at the start, and 1t is evil
dent that Sir Joseph Maclay's estl-
mate is based on the need OF an ex-
panding effort, prolonged over many
months.
It was not, however, his intention
to lecture the Americans on what
they must do, but to warn US that
the hands of our allies will be more
than full. and that we must rely on
our own resources to keep our avail
able tonnage adequate TO our reeds
The output of new merchant ships mas
not yet come up to expectations, ana
tf the Germans had not been equally
disappointed with the results or their
amiable enterprise, we should snort
w be in danger of finding ourselves
in what is vulgarly but expresslvely
known as queer street" In Febru-
arv last we relied on being able to
add the output of the American build
ing Yards to our own. That hope has
failed us owing to the needs OF the
Americans them selves as participa-
tors in the common cause. We want.
therefore, more new tonnage than
was estimated for, and we are actu-
ally on the way to obtain less. That
is the situation against which Sir
Joseph Maclay warns us. Meanwhile.
the demands for ships for our own
military purposes has again increased
of late.
Fortunately, the signs of the de-
feat OF the U-Do2t Campaign eo.iIihu
TO accumulate. September was the
worst month the pirates have yet ex-
perienced. and the last week of Sep
TENDER was the worst week MI.
Churchill, in his speech, seemed to
take exception to the claim that the
IT-hoats are defeated. l do not think
any one has ever meant to imply
that their depredations are at an
end. But if 1t is certain that their
main purpose cannot now be accom-
plished-and that is what we are now
told on every handsomely that is
tantamount to defeat 1t is neck or
nothing with the Germans, and If
they do not get the neck, they get
nothing.

Warm frelight-serene and calm and bland

Has thrown leaf brown shroud across it all;
My brow
Is furrowed with the weight of than years
And father, reading, winks away the tears.
The boys? Why John and Jim far away
Across the main
A signal fire bares the hurt the pain,
That veinlike lies upon their boyish faces;
And Tom = They tell Tom won't come agai
A century of strife and loss and fear
Has touched us since them in their places
This time last year.

RUSSIA UNBEATEN.

Although Germany has succeeded in entering
the Gulf of Finland and in taking the first step
for an advance on Petrograd, what she did is
not likely to be of much value to her from a
military viewpoint Reversing the British
tactics in the attack on the Dardanelles, the
Germans won naval objective by military
means This is the first time that such feat
has been accomplished in the The Ger
mans attempted similar operation in the Gulf
of Riga in August 1915, and failed just as the
British failed in the Dardanelles. What she
accomplished in the Gulf of Finland cannot
properly be described as a naval victory. 1t
was what has been called an 8 amphlblous' OPP
Grafton in which German troops were able to
do what never could have been done by Ger
man naval forces alone.
The Russians resisting foe which had the
advantage of numerical supremacy, displayed
splendid valor The Russian battleship Slava
waeed her last fight bravely and went down
fighting.
The report that the Russian capital is in the
future to be Moscow simply indicates that the
government of Russia is following the precedent
of France, which in the first year of the war
moved her government from Paris to Bordeaux.
Moreover, Moscow was the old capital of Rus
STA and has always been more distinctively Rus
sian than Petrograd, where the subterranean
influence of Gremany has sown poisonous
crop of treason.
The principle value Of her Baltic victory to
Germany will be in its partial rehabilitation of
her naval morale Russia is undefeated in her
great struggle, and her worst enemies are the
anarchists within her own borders and not the
invader whom she can safely defy as, more
than hundred years ago, she defed-and in
effect ruined-Napoleon
