Sweden, so a dispatch from Copen-
hagen states, is to arm her merchant
men for defense against the German
submarines. This will come very near
bringing Sweden into the war which
has already involved almost every ma
ton on the globe. Sweden cannot be
blamed for at least attempting to pro-
tect it's merchant marine, for no other
country has suffered such great losses
from the ruthless warfare carried on
by these under seas pirates. Neutrality
under the circumstances is craven
submission to a power that knows no
law, human or divine. Germany, ter
rorizing weaker nations, recognizes no
neutrals and invites the enmity of all
peoples. The ship sailing the seas is a
prey to the submarine, no matter what
flag the ship sails under, and no effort
is made to save the lives of crew or
passengers. Many, very many citizens
Of Sweden have persisted and the
Swedish tonnage destroyed during the
past three years has been enormous
1t is only surprising that Sweden has
submitted so patiently and long, and
the only way this pacific attitude can
be accounted for is that the head of
the government is in sympathy with
Germany, and Is willing to sacrifice
its property and it's people without
protest.

Some capital is being made out of a
report of mutinous conditions in the
German fleet, but it is not safe to at
tach any hope that disaffection in the
German navy, if there really be any,
Is very wide spread, or sufficient to
affect that branch of the service. Hav-
ing had the system and idea of mill
tarism drilled into them for genera
tons it is not to be expected that the
German people are going to revolt
from a government builded and exist
ing on force, force to which they
have patiently submitted, to which
they are intensely loyal and through
which they expect to see Prusianism
rule the world. Besides, these reports
of mutiny reach the outside world I'M
Ger sored by the German military
authorities, fact that is suspicious in
itself. 1t would seem that the authori-
ties would be the last to give public
ity to such condition in the navy, if
that condition was anything like as
serious as reported, thus carrying en-
enlargement to the enemy. There is
very little likelihood of Germany being
defeated through internal dissension
or revolution. If that country is to be
defeated at all defeat must come
through the exercise of every resource
at the command Of the allies, and it is
not going to be a swift nor bloodless
victory.

Recently Hebert Hoover, head of
the national food commission, urged
upon the people of the United States
to observe the week between October
Fl and % as week of food conserva-
ton. Owing to the Liberty Loan cam
paign being on President Wilson has
asked that conservation week be post
pOned until between October 2S and
November 5. OF course the request is
granted, and everybody solicited to
confine their diet during the dates last
mentioned to such foods as cannot be
shipped abroad to our army and allies
If every family in the country, includ-
ing hotels and restaurants, will COM
ply strictly with the request the saw
ing of food will be enormous.

With the world war holding the CEN
ter of the stage professional base ball
has been rather relegated to the rear
this year, and the big clubs have failed
to coin money for the owners as in
the past. In some quarters It has been
felt that the husky lads who batter and
chase horsehide on the diamond would
show off to a better advantage pitch
ing bombs in the trenches. Still mild
interest developed when as a wind up
of the season a series Of games were
scheduled between the Chicago White
Sox, of the American Association, and
the New York Giants, Of the National
Association for the worlds champion
ship. The honors fell to Chicago after
six games were played, Chicago win
ming four. The first two games were
won by Chicago by scores Of 2 to 1
and to 2. New York COPIED the next
two by scores Of to and to 0.
Chicago took the two final games to
5 and to 2. New York seems to meet
with little trouble winning the cham
pionship in the National league, but
falls down hard when facing the
American league champions in the
final test of skill between the two
leagues.

1t is stated that every member Of
one company of the Second Washing
ton Infantry purchased Liberty Loan
bond. Ought the stay at homes be any
less patriotic than the boys who are to
do the fighting? Should not such a
showing be an incentive for every man
who escapes service through age,
physical defects or exemptions to in
vest in bonds? If the boys 60 to the
front. cheerfully to do the fighting for
the country and then apply some Of
their meagre salary toward support
ing the war is It not a reflection on
those at home who fail to buy bond?
Some people hold the dollar above the
man, but this call does not require
anybody to part with their worshipped
dollars. The government is behind the
investment, paying interest on the
loan. There is not man in the COM
munity who cannot buy one or more
bonds, and by the eternal they should
not be less prompt in investing than
the lads who shoulder guns and
chance their lives that we may have a
free country to live in.

The San Poll Eagle which is about

the Gazette is republican sheet, de-
clares that there will be very little
politics in the congressional campaign
next year. We trust to live to see It.
So long as this war continues repub-
lican papers are not going to take an
attitude that will in any manner en-
barrass the administration, no matter
how keenly they may feel that criti-
cism may be due, for the loyal repub-
lican holds country above party. If
memory is not at fault democratic pa
pers were not so divorced from party
as to withhold bitter criticism either
during the civil or the Spanish Amer
lean wars. Whether politics will be
by the democratic press
remains to be seen when nominations
are made next year.

road itself, for since it's completion 1t
