BRITISH SEE VICTORY.

The British troops in France be-
lieve that victory !s &c be theirs =on-
All along the lines there is confidence
and hope in the strength that is theirs.
Even in Washington military men be-
lieve that when the veil of secrecy now
concealing Haig's new offensive in
Flanders is lifted news OF British gains
of great strategic value will be an
nounced from London.
A great movement east Of Ypres is
being undertaken toward Client. 1t
may not follow that Client will actually
be taken by the British but it Is be-
lieved that our allies will come into
possession of new positions of
immense advantage along the line of
battle in that vicinity.
The Germans have been removing
civilians from West Flanders back of
the present lines and it is believed
that they are preparing for another
retreat which they expect will be
forced upon them as soon as the
British gain command of vantage
points. <
1t has also been reported that the
Germans have been removing textile
looms and machinery from Belgian
mills in Roubaix and Tourcoing and
that machines which could not be re-
moved were being destroyed with
hammers and dynamite. This has
given rise to the belief that the Ger
mans fear Haig's objective to be
toward Lille but whatever the strategy
proves to be the closest military oh
servers are looking for REIMBURSEMENT
OF territory by the Germans as the
result OF the British drive now in pro-
gress.
However, the war Is not ended yet.
Germany has hopes of dealing
separately with Rournana and re-
leasing a million and half Of men In
Mackensen's army to face the million
from the United States who are ex-
pected on the western front next
summer. Bulgaria Is In the deal offer
ing concessions and Austria has gifts

FRYING FAT FROM NINE OWNERS,

Clifford Thorne. attorney, in behalf
of the public utility companies is
protesting TO the government that the
price of coal fixed at the mines is too
high. He has the facts which would
prove that there is yet more fat to be
fried from the mine owner
Here az home we have abundant
evidence that Clifford Is right. Iowa
coal is selling at retail in Marshalltown
today at $3.50 per ton. If the govern
ment's order goes into effect allowing
the dealer 80 per cent more margin
between mis- buying price and his SELL
ing price than be enjoyed in 1915
Iowa lump coal will go to
1928 per ton in Marshalltown In
1915 Iowa lump coal sold at retail for
$3.50.
And what is true Of Iowa coal is also
true of Illinois coal. 1t sells for 1925
now. 1t will go to $3.50 when the
government order is complied with 1t
sold two years ago for $500 retail.
Coke perhaps may come down for
coke has been abnormally scarce and
high because Of the tremendous
demand by the iron foundries and
steel mills.
Now comes an increase to the coal
miner IN his wages. That, too. must
fall upon the dear consumer The mine
owner needs to be fried lean.
Senator Cummins predicts that we
have launched upon an era of price
fixing and profit reg ulation by the
government which will not end with
the war and Cummins has shown a
remarkable ability to see far ahead in
many governmental reforms. The
process is not an entire success just
yet but then the new machine is not
in perfect running order. We are
drifting toward government fixing of
prices for the bare necessities OF life
Ike fuel, water and iron from the
earth and transportation by common
carrier 1t may spread to the basic
foods like wheat and sugar and remain
a fixture as we'll as thing fixed in our
economic system. However, the time
is not far distant when the public will
be determined to sap all profiteering
from business in basic supplies.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

didn't like to have people tell him
what to do, for he had gotten along
very well all these years, altho he was
a bachelor.
Well, after they had gone for . mile
or three, they came to a funny looking
thing lying on the grass, for they we're
still driving thru the fields you know.
What's that?" asked Uncle Lucky. ana
he jumped out of the Luckymobile and
went over to look at it.
And just then Robbie Redbreast few
by and said, Don't touch It! Don't
touch It! But, oh dear me! Poor
Uncle Lucky didn't hear him in time
and the first thing he knew the queer
looking iron thing snapped and caught
him by the left hind leg.
Goodness gracious meebus! Now
I'm a gonor!" cried the old gentleman
rabbit, and he sat down the best he
could, for the trap pinched his left leg
dreadfully and 1t was hard to bend his
knee. And then he took of his we'd
ding stovapipe hat and scratched his
left ear
"Uucle Lucky! Uncle Lucky" cried
the little rabbit and would you believe
1t, he seemed to feel worse than the
old gentleman rabbit. But, OF course,
he didn't, for it wasn't his leg that was
being pinched you know And in the
nextsIsry you shall hear how the little
rabbit saved his dear kind Uncle from
the cruel trap-that isif the crafty
Daddy Fox doesn't happen to pass be-
fore then.

You remember In the last story that
Billy Bunny and his kind Uncle Lucky
had just driven away from the hotel
where they had eaten lunch and had
fed the LuclSymobile with oats and
hay and a cold drink of gasolene.
Goodness gracious meebus" ex-
claimed the old gentleman rabbit, and
he turned up his coat collar and pulled
down his old wedding stovepipe hat.
ITS cold as winter" and Just then
they came across Jack Frost He was
standing on a ladder painting the
leaves yellow and red and brown. and
every once In while he would whistle.
and sometimes he'd sing:
Hip. Murray, for it's cool to-day.
And my colors all are bright and gay.
I'll turn the grapes a purple hue,
And III break the chestnut burs IN
two,
And the cracking stalks of the yellow
corn
TIL cover with frost in the early morn
Don't you come around to my house
and paint any frosty pictures on the
windows till ! get the furnace going,
said the old gentleman rabbit. Il don't
want to get the rheumatism
"All right, M. Lucky Lefthindfoot.
said Jack Frost. but we're going to
have an early winter. so you had bet
ter tell your furnace man to get the
stovepipes out and the stoves cleaned.
And then Uncle Lucky drove away De-
fore Jack Frost could tell him anything
more for the old gentleman rabbit

Above the glare tina. marks the field,
BY cannon thunder riven,
Where titans ply the bloody task,
Which man to man has given;
What forms are those that ride the
gale.
What ghostly lights are streaming?
Old fighting men are those that watch,
Old camp fires are a'gleaming.
They say when battle smoke hung low
And morning dawn was fair.
That English Harry led the charge,
And Henry of Navarro.
The French have seen their emperor
Inperious as of yore
Have heard the Old guards lighting
cry,
Tho stilled for ever more,
Have We not Grant and Washington?
Who then shall dare TO say
They shall not lead our charging lines,
And JaCkson's boys in gray.
What forms are those that ride the
gale,
What shostly lights are streaming?
They watch, our nations lighting
They hear the Eagle screaming,

Germany has reduced savagery to
a science, and this great war for the
victorious peace of justice must go on
until the German cancer Is cut out
of the world body" declared Theodore
Roosevelt in an address he delivered
at Johnstown, Pa at the Workingmen's
Red Cross Sunday Celebration.

mocracy safe, and we did not go to
war because we had special grew

during which, with utter contempt OF
our protests, she had llabitually and
continually murdered our noncombat-
ant men, women and children on the
high seas. Germany formally announced
that she intended to pursue this course
more ruthlessly and vigorously than
ever.
This was the special grievance be-
cause of which we went to war, and
1t was far more than an empty justifi-
cation for going to war. AS you know.
my own belief is that we should have
acted Immediately after the sinking Of
the Lusitania But, in any event, no
self respecting American can doubt
that we had to act when we did act
There are official records Of more
than 10000 separate atrocities commit

France and Belgium, together with
England, have been fighting our bat

their own. The Prussianized Germany

years has proved that 1t wants only the

force to resist its attacks. In trying to

is IOWA MOST LOYAL STATE!
ICedar Rapids Republican,

A man who has been in many parts
Of the country, in connection with ma.
tional duties, stated the other day
that he believed that Iowa was, per-
haps. the most loyal Of all the states
He knew 90 none other in which the
people were more generally doing
their bit for the government and no
state in which fewer disturbances had
been made by disloyal words or deeds.
We believe that this Is placing Iowa
about right among the states The
state has passed the mark in every
contribution to the war, whether OF
men or Of materials
Among other things iowa Is tho
state that has the city that heads the
list in volunteer enlistments. In the
office of. the secretary of war. near the
desk Of Secretary Baker, there hangs
list Of cities and counties that were
not called upon in the first draft and
the name of Cedar Rapids, an Iowa
city, heads all the others.
We have had a few little manifesto
tons Of disloyalty, at Lowden. at
Davenport. but when sifted down they
have amounted to little more than the
frothings of a few ignorant or misled
men, and the man Wallace who be-
fouled Davenport came from without
the state. Iowa has not developed \
single leader or spokesman 1t is a
record OF which we can be proud.
And let us not only keep this rec
ord untarnished, but let US add to its
efrulgence And we can do this by
showing o,Ir interest In the new gov
eminent bonds. The taking OF those
bonds Is also a test of our patriotism.

1t is feared, too that If the British
advance along the Belgian coast
sufficiently to jeopardise the German

who receive less than the day laborer
is indeed astounding No doubt similar
conditions exist in other denomina-
lions. When the fact is borne in mind
that the average offering Is only %
cents per member per week. 1t becomes
apparent that the high cost OF livins
cannot be blamed for this state OF

difficult to understand how these min

the pariah Of the professions, but per-
haps there Is another professional
class who are deserving Of support
and in whose behalf some effort might
be made. Not that there should be
any effort to raise funds for them,
but in some manner there could and
should be general movement toward
better salaries for such ministers, just
as there has been a movement for
better salaries for underpaid teachers.

Why We Are In The War
rBy Theodore Roosevelt

| IL 1t had not been for the allied heetA
and armies which for three years have
stood between us and ruin. During
these years OF ease our wealth has
grown and all OF us should give what
we can to help the wretched victims
who have suffered such intolerabls
wrongs In France and Belgium.
"But this Is not enough. Merely to
help the sorely stricken does not meet
the situation. We must punish the
aggressor in such fashion that never
again will there be such a repetition OF
such wrongdoing as Germany has COM
mitted in this war. Never again must
we be put in such an ignoble position
as to owe our safety only to others
Next time 1t may not pay other nations
to save us from the effects Of our folly.
Uncle Sam must hereafter prepare his
strength so thot he himself can guar
foreign foe.
1--WE shall fight in Europe so as to
save ourselves or our children from the
necessity of fighting on our own con-
tinent against alien conquerors We are
also fighting the battle Of the liberty
loving, self-respecting decently be-
haved nations Of mankind. We must
back up the Red Cross and all similar
organizations In every way possible.
But we must remember that our
first duty is to develop to the limit our
military strength. Everything else is Of
secondary Importance to this. II we Of
this great democratic Republic do not
show that we are able to defend our
selves by our own might, II we do not
teach Germany that she cannot commit
acts of insolent brutality at our ex-
pense without being called to account,
we will lay up either for ourselves or
our children future Of shame and dis
astef.
''If the war ends in German victory
or stalemate we can count with alb
solute certainty upon Germany at her
own time striking down this Republic,
for she rightly feels that our existence
is Incompatible with the safety Of that
spirit Of despotic autocracy which she
embodies today more than any other
nation in the whole world"
