For two weeks or more fine, intel
ligent looking dog of the Scotch collie
breed (probably hybrid) with consider
able black and white in it's markings,
has been wandering about the streets
apparently in search of it's master. AT
first it was wearing a leather collar
but someone removed it. The collie
is probably a valuable cattle dog and
likely came to town with some farmer
and is waiting to go home with him.
Or, maybe, it belongs to some one who
left on the train. The dog has evil
IDENTIFY seen better days.

ONLY One Side for Americans.

Lincoln, Neb. Aug. 18.-No sympa-
thy should be wasted on those arrested
for unpatriotic utterances, w. J. Bryan
declared in signed editorial in to-
days issue of his paper, The Common
er. Resistance to the draft law was
branded as anarchy also by Bryan.
"Before our nation enters war
it is perfectly proper to discuss the
wisdom of going to war, but the dis
cussion is closed when congress acts
the editorial said.
eve must stand together and fight
it through. There are only two sides
to a war-every American must be on
the side of the United States"

The Coal Shortage Situation.

Wisconsin and the two Dakotas, anc
I write to assure you that I shall dc
all in my power to make the priority

The German Language Press.

The German Language Press.
Before the war has gone on much
longer the government of the United
States will, in f-defense, be COM
PEELED to prohibit the printing OF
newspapers, books and pamphlets in
the German language in the United
States.
If the disloyal German language
newspapers are not suppressed before
our wounded boys begin to come from
Europe the boys will do for the Ger
man press what the boys of 81 did to1
the copperhead press.
There are people who continue tc
consider this war a primary election
This country makes no apology to any
body for insisting upon loyalty. W.
are entitled to have it. We are going
to have it.
One of the first and one of the bes
moves should be the closing of ever!
German language printing office in tn
United States.
This is not a question of the beau
tiful words of Goethe and Schiller, i
is question of taking care OF ou'
homes and fresides in the old U. $. A
Col. Roosevelt has suggested tina
the German language newspapers b
compelled to print their editorials IL
English as we'll as in German: Tha
is a good suggestion so far as it.goes
But these German editors would TIM
so-called lawful means and so-calle'
legitimate language in which to ex
press their treason. If this countr,
expects to live and do business W
must clean house.
There is not a loyal German Ian
guage newspaper in America.-De

SUBMARINES DAYS
NUMBERED

NWd1A 0LI6eC JOuTnal.) s 800
The days of b submarine menace
are numbered.
Inc submarine a wrought its
havoc because 1t has been able to hit
an unexpected blow and disappear.
Except against unarmed or e ryglight-
ly armed ships the submarine does,
not dare show itself. -
\ Not much longer will the submarines
be able to operate without its pres
ence being accurately known. Very
recently a method has been perfected
for detecting the presence and exact
location of a submarine even more
than three miles distant.
There oan be nothing gained by dis
closing the nature Of the apparatus
or its method of operation, but it may
be said that the perfected apparatus
Is The result Of experiments started
before the war and carried on by a
combination Of the most skilled me-
chanical and inventive minds in the
United States. Moreover, the appar-
atus has been tried out successfully
upon German submarines in service,
with h result that there are fewer
German submarines afloat than there
were.
It will take time to provide all the
merchant ships that operate in the
war zone with this antisubmarine
equipment. It is natural to expect
-" Kay o1AACu WdL61lpo WILL % uISL
fitted out, especially the destroyers on
submarine patrol.
Once the American and British de-
stroyers are equipped there is every
reason to expect In abrupt diminution
Of submarine activities.
A submarine that is operating must
come to the surface after "a hours
and remain there from four to six
hours to recharge it's batteries
When submarine Is detected by q
destroyer 'lotilla SO equipped, though
at the time it may be submerged, the
destroyers will be able to follow it as
1t travels under water until 1t Is forced
to come to the surface, when Il will
be an cas- prey.
It will be remembered that soon
after the United States entered the
war statements from well informed
Washington sources that American
inventive genius had mastered the
submarine menace met with official
denials. The denials were unquestion-
ably technically accurate at that time,
as certain finishing touches were need
ed and there had been no tryout in
actual service. But It has been clear
for some months to those well In
formed as to developments that Amer
lean inventive genius was about to
master the submarine.

There are real heroes and make be-
lieve heroes; and they are o always
easily distinguishable. I do not hide
from myself that I belong to the make
believe. And yet, it is remarkable:
that I did not find the second week
at the front rs terrible as the first.
It is not as bad there las it seems.
When once you get accustomed to.
the idea that you may be dead In a
day, Or in an hour. or in g. minute,
and when o are clear as to your
future, your mood is relieved from
constant depression. Inyoluntarily
you become kind and helpful Il those
about you, you do not, get vexed over
tribes. you r ready to make al.
sorts Of sacrifices.
OF course. IL, In the midst of such;
a condition, a grenade suddenly drops
into syour trench. If you see three or.
four of your comrades getting killed.
your misery returns, no matter how
good an outward appearance you may
keep up. At least for 4 while.
But then again the thought comes
that getting wounded means rest and
safety, and good care. And death?
That Is still less terrible. One boasts
OF reaching ones destination along
the shortest road. Is not death evary
ones flnal destination !?
