What have done that we should have aliens
doing the greater part of fighting for for the
sake Of thirty dollars month ?-Exchange.
This remark is a most perfect example of an alb
solute lack of judgment to say the least. No Of
real courage has ever made such fool of himself
as to endeayor to boost his own cause by calling
another names. What possible reason has anyone
to charge that an alien enlisted in the ranks Will
American citizens is fighting for the thirty dollars
month? The statement is utterly needless su
premely foolish and absolutely wrong.

Enlistment of aliens, voluntary or draft, is Just
and proper With such great diversity of service
as the present war has developed including an able
bodied army producing material and supplies at
home, why should not aliens who have found en-
Eployment and security under the flag 'do their

While the spirit of the Argentinans may be ad-
mired, their judgment is not to be commended. The
government was acting promptly in vindication of
the national honor so that there was no justifca.
ton for mob action. To use the torch in the midst
of their capital was sheer madness.

SAL EMBARGO PROTECTS
coUNTRY'S NEEDS.
LICENSE FOR ALL GOODS
Board Headed by Vance Mccormick to
Have Entire Charge Of Issuing Per-
r1its to Ship Commodities
From American Ports

Washington, Aug. 20. - President
Wilson on Monday night issued proc
lamation giving the government con-
troll over all commodities exported
from the United States.
1t is the most drastic step for econ
Omy control taken by any nation dur
ing the war The president said he
aims at control, not at actual stop
ping of exports
All articles of commerce must be
licensed for export to enemy coun-
tries and European neutrals. This
viii give the United States for the
first time control over certain NUM-
tons and money sent TO the peutrals.
The list of commodities for which
license is required is widely extended.
This says the president, us for
the protection of our own needs"
The administration of the proclama-
ton, except as 1t refers to coin, bull
lion and currency, is placed in the
hands of the exports administrative
board
This board few days ago had no
authority to act. Its members, headed
by Vance Mccormick. chairman, ad-
vocated a strict rationlng system with
regard to allies and neutrals alike.

Suspecting that

Camp Douglas Suspecting that
attempts were being made to smuggle
liquor into Camp Douglas, authorities
sent out mounted policemen to patrol
the roads between this place and the
city of Mauston. Automobiles carry
ing soldiers were stopped and search
ed and considerable supply of
strong drinks hidden away in suitcases
and packages was confiscated and de-
stroyed In many instances the au-
tomobiles stopped on the road between
here and Mansion were driven by
civilians. Some were rented ma
chimes.
Others we're private machines driv-
en- by persons who apparently wanted
to be friendly to the soldiers. The
numbers of the cars were taken, and
the haul may be followed by formal
investigation.
Military authorities are determined
to enforce the dry rule to the let
ter.
The men who make up the head
quarters force OF Gen. Charles r.
Boardman and Gen. A. r. Richards
will soon be on their way to Waco to
join the two brigade commanders who
left for the south a few days ago.
The fact that brigade headquarters
will be removed to the southern can
torment is added evidence that the
troops here will be on the move Tex

U. S. TO FEED ALLIES
INTELLIGENT COORDINATION OF
ALL FORCES GREAT NEED.
Hoover Sounds Warning in Address
TO Farmers of the Nation at chica-
go-Fieht for Our Existence.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Herbert c. Hoo
yer, federal food administrator, told
the farmers of the nation the part they
are asked to play in helping the United
States and IT'S allies win the war. He
outlined the agricultural features of
the administration policy and gave a
forecast of the difficulties which must
be faced to solve national food prob
lens. Mr.. Hoover made his statement
on Saturday in the Hotel Sherman,
when he spoke before representatives
of 126 farm Journals.
Intelligent coordination of all the
forces of the country is the greatest
need Of the hour. Mr.. Hoover said in his
talk. After giving his views in de-
tail he said:
ut Is no loose statement that we
face q race of people under a govern
ment intent upon mastery of the world
The world seems far away TO most of
our people. But as surely as we were
fighting for freedom in 1916, we are
fighting for our national existence and
our national faith this day and month.
1917.
The fact Is that 1t Is our war as
much as their war, and unless we can
keep the women and children Of our
allies fed. the western line will surely
be thrown TO our Atlantic seabOard
and it may be thrown in an infinitely
more dangerous quarter, In the ransoIa
of Canada as penalty for England's
defeat"

reply to Argentina's note, embodying
demands In connection with the sub

tine shipping. has been received. In

mands of Argentina.
The note says that Germany, "in
order to maintain friendly relations
with Argentina. is willing to modify
the blockade of enemy coasts, allow
ing freedom of the seas to vessels
under the Argentine flag carrying
food"

TO CAUSE WAR WITH AUSTRIA
Americas Financial Aid to Italy Ex-
peeted to Lead to Hostilities With
Vienna Government.

Washington, Aug. 50.-The POSSIBLE
Ity that Austria and perhaps other al
lies of Germany may soon declare war
against the United States because of
the financial aid given to Italy is rec
ognized by administration officials.
IT was carefully explained on Tues
day that there is nothing in the exist
i1S situation. either diplomatic or mill
tary that would cause the United
States to take initiative. but that an
anomalous state OF affairs does exist
was not denied.
Relations Of the United States with
Germanys allies are defined as still a
state of broken diplomatic relations.
officials hesitate to describe them as
unfriendly. although admitting that
they scarcely could be called friendly.
The policy Of extending aid to the coun-
tries fighting certain Of Germany's al
lies will be continued, and it was adj
mitted that Austria or any other ally
might, perhaps not impr0bably, con-
strue such assistance as a warlike
act

BRYAN SCORES FOES or U. S.
Attacks Unpatriotic Utterances as
Products of Dsaffeeted Hearts
Rather Than Errors of Mind.

Chicago, Aug. 29-Unpatriotic utter
ances, especially by men Of promi-
hence. are more likely to be due TO a
wrong attitude of heart than an error
of the mind. according TO an interview
with William Jennings Bryan in Chi
cago.
II do not want to make individual
application" said Mr.. Bryan. but
while an unpatriotic utterance may pos
sibly be due TO an error of the mind,
1t is more likely TO be due to wrong
attitude of heart. The tongue is not
likely to slip unless the heart skids.
There can be but two sides &c this
war, and every American ought to be
on the side of the United States.

afford 10 take any chance of help
ing the enemy by exciting division
