ALL WATCH NEW YORK

Patriotic citizens in all of the nation warn
ed be prepared for a shock in the election in New
York city next Tuesday There is danger that the
elements of disloyalty discomfort will combine
there in such way to carry the election.
There is party contest because such Republicans
as Roosevelt Hughes Root supporting MITCHELL
who is a Democrat although running as ndepedent.
These and thousands of other Republicans are doing
this from deep of duty because there reg
nlar Republican candidate in the field
These Republicans realize that the election of a
uar Republican candidate mayor of New York under
present circumstances is wholly out of the question;
that the real choice must be made from Mitchell the
independent; Hylan, the Tammany tool and Hillquit,
the radical pro-German Socialist.
Hyan, the Tammanyite seems to have developed
into wretchedly weak candidate and the danger
is that the oppos ton Mitchell may combine on Hill
quit and elect him.
Hiliqust has denounced and is still denouncng the
seective draft law. He denounces the entry of the
United States into what terms the unjustifed

THE HONORS OF ATROCITY

The sultan of Turkey has graciously conferred on
the German kaiser the diamond star of the Itichar
DER Turkeys highest decoration and the kaiser has
decorated the sultan with the star and chain of the
Hohenzoern order with diamonds
The honors are even-the hero of the Belgian and
Lusania murders is honored by the hero of
Armenian massacres. No will question the de-
serving of the the respective fitness of the
mutual donors and recipients.
But to the intelligence and conscience of the world
Liberty Loan button, showing that American cit
izen has done his her in support of
ment, is vastly honorable decoration than the
diamond orders of the sultan and the kaiser 1t sig
mites only simple patriotic duty done but the diamond
orders stand for colossal infamy and murder.

SEND APPLES TO THE BOYS

There talk some time ago of sending apples tC
the Latah county boys at American Lake There was
concerted in the matter although the Chamber
of Commerce offered to pay the shipment on all
contributions of this kind.
1t might be good idea send the boys good treat
of apples for Thanksgiving This would be no bar to
the sending of other treats by friends relatives
the boys but it would be treat that would be appre-
ciated according to letters received from the camp.
There will be at least 1923 Latah county men in
Camp Lewis by Thanksgiving. Why not see to it that
they have all the apples they wish for themselves
their friends among the boys for the holiday that
rapidly approaching?
Who will make the move?

When Will Peace Comet

Peace can come whenever a suf-
ficient number of the right kind OF
Germans determine to have it." No
less staunch a pro-Ally than E. S.
Martin makes this statement in the
current Good Housekeeping. He con-
tinues:
THE Germans cannot get peace by
fighting; the allies are too strong.
They cannot get it by the submarine
expedient; the ratio of destruction is
not high enough. But they can get
it at any time by repudiating the gov
ernmental system that got them into
this war and making terms for them
selves.
"Of course that is no small job, but
| it seems at least to be true that the
German war-masters have now two
heavy Jobs on their hands-to stand
off the allies on the two great fronts,
and to subdue the desperate discon-
tent of millions behind the German
lines. No one doubts that the Ger
man soldiers can be held for months
to come to face the enemy on the east
and west fronts, but it is not so clear
what might happen if they were used
to quell internal revolts of their own
suffering families against the con-
tinuance Of the war.
There are not so many German as
there were three years ago, and es-
pecially not so many of fighting age
and weight, but there are plenty
enough to keep the war going if they
can all be kept at it. And probably
they can. But possibly they can't, and
in that possibility lies hope of
peace"

START THE REFORM AT HOME

The Kendrick Gazette makes good point when it
says:
eff the boys who go to France not to be
allowed the of tobacco by the over-zealous
Non-Smokers League those who stay at home
should suffer the fate"
Isn't that logical? Carry the point just little
farther The Star-Mrror has been severely censured
in quarters for assisting get tobacco
the soldiers in France who accustomed to the
use of tobacco before they went across.
The Star-Mirror takes the position that the time to
reform these boys is while they under the guns
Of the enemy and subject to the terrible strain and
hardship of warfare but after they back
home Just they have more serious business in
hand than listening to abstract lectures.
If the Non Smokers League and other good people
determined to launch reform certainly they
find material enough this side to upon without
bothering the men who are winning the war

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER

Finding that it required too great expenditure
of time, energy and money the department has
abandoned the old way of selecting for military
service the registered list. 1t has adopted
plan of selection that promises much better results
and at great saving in every way.
For the next call from the 100000 still the list
the will be divided into five general classes and
will be called this order:
1. Single without dependent relatives
2. Married men, widowers with children, who
habtually fail to support their families
g. Married men dependent on their wives for sup
port.
A. Married not usefully engaged, whose fam
lilies are supported by incomes independent of their
labor
s. Unskilled Iaborers.
The first class will be exhausted before
taken from the second, and this will be exhausted be-
fore going to another class. AS a rule worth
more to the nation in some other line of activity will
be exempt.
Another consideration that played part in bringing
about the change exemption boards
should be rejected This resulted in much confusion
and many
that the scheme will be radical improvement.

shops, and in learning French, that
they may understand the lively con-

says that their hosts are most pat
lent in trying to help them with the
language, but the students find it
rather discouraging, for like all for
eigners, they talk so wonderfully fast,
and when they repeat what they say,
it goes faster than before"
In spite of the pleasant features of
their present life, however, the men
are extremely anxious to get into ac-
ton and accomplish the purpose that
