ENGLISH AS SHE Is SPOKE
What the American Soldier Intends to
Do With Kaiser 10 Not Under
stood in England.

With cOmmondable enterprise a Lon
don editorial brother seeks to clarity
for his readers the quaint expression of
certain American soldiers who have in
timated that their first undertaking in
Europe will be to '.can the kaiser" In
interpreting them to intend to seal up
his high mightiness hermetically, how
ever, the Londoner's zeal outruns his
information.
Nix, nix, friend, 1t doesn't mean that
at all says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. 1t means merely that they pro-
pose to decorate the German emperor
with hardware; to take his taw; pour
the leather into him; put him on the
pan; slip him one on the wind! kid
nap his Angora; show him where he
gets of. To put 1t more plainly, hav-
ing bought chips in game where the
custom has been to play 'em close to
the waistcoat. the Americans have
taken Off the limit and announce they
will copper all bets, see all raises and
intend, the very first time the kaiser
gets his feet wet. to call him of the
Christmas tree.
1t Is plain in the circumstances that
our British brethren are about to find
their knowledge of English handsome
ly increased.

Another point made much Of by Doc
tor Wilson's opponent was that the
first year after prohibition went into
effect in West Virginia the governor
of the state had to appeal to the legis-
lature for additional tax measures to
make up for the loss In revenue from
liquor. "And In the second year." Doc

Three boats-large cannery tenders

ely launched from one ship-building
plant In Seattle. Each Mas christened
with the sparkling nonalcoholic bever-
age, applestaff. The bottles were en-
twined in the national colors and hung
from the three prows on silken ropes
Of red, white and blue. The three
young women sponsors, said the Seat
tie Times, carried ont the triple cere-
mony with great brilliancy. The crash
Of the bottles, sounding at ten-second
intervals, bathed the bows Of the ves-

means, according to tradition, that it

Washington.-No one can rightly be
gloomy over the outcome for the Amer
lean people In this war. Success In
this war - q question Of resources,
and the viii and ability Of the people
TO organize themselves TO use their re-
sources rightly and to endure. Many
thinking people, In America and
throughout the whole world, have been
watching anxiously the last four
months In the fear that Democratic
America could not organize to meet
autocrat1c Germany. Germany has
been confident that II could not be done.
Contrary proof Is Immediately at our
door. Aside from the remarkable as
ssmblage Of our army and financial re-
sources, our people have already dem
onstrated their ability to mobilize, or
ganixe. endure and prepare voluntarily
and efiiciently In many directions and
upon mere word Of inspiration.
Food Supply Increased.
We entered the war four months
ago. and 1t was announced by the pres
ident that one Of the great problems
OF the war would be food; that we
must prepare to increase and to save
our foodstuffs for year in advance.
not only for ourselves, but for our
allies as well. There has been NO con-
seQuential national or local legislation,
yet the greatest spontaneous volunteer
