A Foolish Plea.

Burlington Gazette: Veiricks
Kaiser weekly, the Stats Zeitung
and other zeitungs that are trying
inaevery manner the patience of the
American people by their shameless
Berlin endowed campaign to discredit
and cast odium on the U. S. partici-
patton in the war are wheeling loud
ly against sending German-American
citizens to France to fight "rela-
tives."
If the so-called German-American
population Of this country was united
in protest against being sent to
France, there would even then be
scant grounds for paying attention to
them. But 1t happens that there is
no such feeling generally. because it
is shown that forty per cent. of the
men who have already volunteered
are Of German descent. They have
purged their systems of German SEN

WASHINGTON, July 18.-Attacss'
on the national defense councils ad-
visory commission, eliminated today
in the senate passing an amendment
to the food bill. prohibiting agents of
the council making contracts between
the government and firms in which
they are financially interested.
However, the amendment offered by
Pomerene, Ohio, would permit coun-
Gil agents to advise in awarding such
contracts provided they first file with
the government complete list Of
their business connections.
This feature was regarded as q
"joker" in the amendment by those
who have bitterly opposed the advis-
DRY commissions contract powers.

before the Lid Goes On.

ST. Paul Pioneer Press: There Is
something akin to a panic in the
hard liquor market. 1t is Of the
nature of panic to buy before the
government lid goes on and alcoholic
liquids, other than malt and vinous,
pass under the control of the United
States The amended food bill is not
law-has not even been approved
in its entirety by either branch Of
congress-but the public seems as
sured that its enactment is only a
matter of time, and that those who
want to lay in a stock of liquors
against the indefinite period Of dry
ness had better move quickly. Deal
ers have made no move to disillusion-
lie the quaffing public. They have
responded nobly to the emergency
and elevated prices amazingly. The
higher the prices they can lay on the
buyer the better for themselves, as
all they can hope from the govern
ment is a closely figured cost with
10 per cent. profit added. Already.
in instances, prices have scared 400
per cent, and yet the situation has
not fully dawned upon the people.
Whistles, brandies. gins and cordials
have joined the necessities of life in
the upward flight. But as long as
-four and potatoes trend sharply
downward and meats show a dispo-
sition to remain steady there is a
large element Of people who should
worry.

A GULF PORT, July 1S.-A clever
executed ruse by the captain of Brit
ish steamer in conjunction with two
members of the gun crew sent one Of
the kafser's u boats to the bottom Of
the sea, according to the captain OF
a steamer arriving here today. The
submarine opened fire with long range
guns, out of danger Of the steamers
fire. The captain, noting that he had
no chance to win in an open fight, re-
sorted to trap. He ordered all hands
into the boats, save two members Of
the gun crew who were left behind
with Instructions to hide.
The submarine commander fell into
the trap. He ceased firing and made
for the steamer, presumably to obtain
supplies and complete the work Of
destruction by cheaper method. The
gunners waited until certain Of hit
and trained their weapon before the
Germans were able to understand the
trap had been set for them. The fire
was accurate. and the U boat sank
