GERMANS DESTRUCTION 0
- NEUTRAL SHIPS.

From the 9Th of August, 1914, to
April 26th, 1917, Germany destroyed
the following appalling list of neutral
ships = Norwegian, 1876: Danish, ia;
Swedish, 1O1; Dutch, 76; Greek, co.;
Spanish, So; American, 20; Brazilian,
2; Argentine, 1; Peruvian, l; Urugua-
yam, l. A total of S49 ships, of the ag-
gregate tonnage of 1,653,654, an aver
age of nearly 1000 tons per ship.
When these neutral ships were sunk
the Kaiser was protesting to be at
peace with the nations whose citizens
owned them. Under international law
these ships were protected from at
tack, but the Kaiser has announced
that he recognized no international
law. That there was no such thing
any more as international law. While
protesting friendship for neutral coun-
tries he has continued to destroy their
ships and slaughter their unoffend-
ing citizens.
In treating both friend and foe with
merciless severity the Kaiser is act
ing like crazy man. Is the Kaiser
blood crazy? He is most assuredly
abnormal.

ABUSING FREE SPEECH.
(Ry w. T. Bryan,)

(By W. j. Bryan.)
Before our nation enters a war it
is perfectly proper to discuss the wis
dom of going to war, but the discus
sion is closed when congress acts.
After that, no one should be permit
ted to cloak attacks upon his govern
ment or aid to the enemy under the
claim that he is exercising freedom of
speech. No sympathy, therefore, will
be wasted upon those who have been
arrested for unpatriotic utterances.
They abuse free speech. And this ap-
plies to attacks on the Allies as we'll
as to attacks upon the United States.
We can no more allow our allies to
be crushed than we can afford to be
crushed ourselves. The defeat OF our
allies would throw the whole burden
Of the war upon us. We must stand
together and fight it through. There
are only two sides to war-every
American must be on the side OF the
United States.

IOWA'S RECORD-BREAKING CROP.

IOWA'S RECORD-BREAKING CROP.
Never wrote the poet more truth
fully than when he penned these
lines:
iowa, Iowa, beautiful Iowa,
Blessed with Gods pleanty in gar
ner and STALL"
And never were these lines more APP
plicable than they are at the present
time.
Wheat, oats, barley and rye were
never better The small grain crops
are third or more greater than last
year. The best of harvest weather
has prevailed and the larger half of
the grain is already threshed.
The hay crop was good this season,
and pastures never better.
A bumper potato crop is already
assured.
The climatic condition, largely re-
sponsible for the exceptionally good
crops already matured, retarded the
corn crop. Corn is a good stand, a
good color, but it turned into the home
stretch about ten days later than usu-
al. But under the whip of this August
sun it is coming down toward the
score at runaway gate. If the frost
king does not interfere during the
next thirty days corn will be king
and Iowa will lead the world this year
in the production of food stuffs.

GETTING AFTER COAL OPERATORS

The governors of a dozen or more
states have met and adopted resolu-
lions pledged united action in curb
ing the brigandage Of the coal opera
tors.
The states and the federal govern
ment have unlimited power to deal
with this criminal bunch of covetous
men.
Governme, is exist for the pur-
pose of protecting the persons and
property of their citizens. When men,
like the coal operators, conspire to
rob the public, by charging unjust
prices for an absolutely necessary
product it becomes the business Of
governments to put summary stop
to the injustice. The government
has the power to take possession of
the coal mines and put their operators
in the penitentiary. It is the further
business of the government to admin
lister proper punishment to those gull
ty of such conspiracies. Such punish
ment will deter others from COM
hitting similar offenses. a-'""

NO PEACE WITH AUTOCRACY.

(From the New York Worldly
In the absence of the full text Of
the Pope's proposals, it is idle to
speculate as to the precise terms sug-
gested, further than to say that 9
peace on the basis of the status quo
ante would leave Germany the un-
questioned victor and the master of
the world.
But precise terms of peace are less
important than they were a year or
two ago. 1t is the agencies OF peace
which are vital This is not an ord1n-
airy war, and it cannot be ended with
the ordinary readjustments and COM
promises which are the special pro-
vince of diplomacy.
How can there be peace between
the present German government and
the nations that are at war with 1t!
Who would guarantee it? What securi-
tv could the world have that the
treaty would be worth the paper on
which it was written? With Prussian
autocracy still in control Of Germany,
would Great Britain or France or the
United States dare to disarm? Would
any of them dare weaken its forces
on land or sea? Would one of them
dare be anything but an armed camp
ready to strike at the first sign OF
hostile move on the part of Germany!
That kind of peace is practically
not different from war. 1t may in
volve a little less bloodshed, but 1t
carries the financial burdens OF war
and all the staggering obligations OF
the military system. If this war has
been fought for such peace, all the
sacrifices and sufferings have been
in vain and civilization is defrauded
of it's birthright.
1t would be comparatively easy to
make peace If there were govern
ment in Germany which could be
trusted, which was responsible to pub

lie opinion, which would respect in.
ternational law and keep it's treaty
obligations, and which did not believe
in war as consecrated dynastic and
imperial policy. 1t is quite differ
ent matter when free nations that are
battling for their very existence are
asked to make terms with an outlaw
autocracy that needs respite to re-
organize its resources for another war
of conquest.
We are told from time to time that
Prussianism has learned lesson from
this conflict. Has it? What proof
have we? What evidence can be Of
fered? It has learned that many of
it's plans went wrong and that world
domination was not so easy of attain
ment as it seemed, but even out Of
defeat it has consolidated vast en-
pire that stretches from Bremen to
Bagdad and is governed from Berlin.
That is already won, and that will

tocracy is finally broken and a free
Germany energies.
War is better than fraudulent and
deceptive peace which can lead only
to new war and the achievement of
all the aims and objects of Pan-Ger-
manism. When the Vatican asks the
free peoples to consider peace with
Germany, they have right in turn to
demand a German government with
which an honest peace can be made.
Such a government does not exist to-
day, and the Vatican can offer no as
surances that such a government ever
will exist until the whole system of
autocracy goes crashing down to ruin
under the military power of the Allies.
It is said from time to time by apol-
ogists for Prussianism that we have
no right to dictate the kind of govern
ment under which the Germans shall
live. That is not true. When any
form of government becomes prov
ed menace to the world, society has a
right to protect itself.
There can be truce with autocracy,
but there can be no peace. Let us not
| delude ourselves Either this Ger
man autocracy must be crushed or
the war is lost to democracy.

TERMS THE POPE SUGGESTS AS
BASIS FOR WORLD PEACE.

The following are the principal
features of the Pope's suggestions for
peace negotiations: .a'f
No annexations; no indemnities.
Complete restoration by Germany and
Austria of Belgium, Serbia and Rou-
mania and the occupied parts Of
France.
Settlement of the Italia Irredenta
and Balkan questions and the future
of Poland and Alsace.LOrraine on the
line of national aspirations.
Restoration by the Entente Allies
of the colonies taken from Germany.
No retaliatory struggle for CONNER
cial supremacy after the war.
Full freedom of the seas.
Reduction of ornaments to strict
" defensive basis.
An information court Of arbitration
to settle all disputes that may lead
to war and to enforce peace.

Why Do Rifle Barrels Burst?

Although shotguns and rifles are
tested with loads which give pressures
far above those produced by ordinary
ammunition, swollen or burst gun bar
rels are not uncommon. The cause is
either attributed to defective ammu-
milton or to an obstruction in the bore,
such as snow or dirt. The pressure
Of the powder gases themselves are
not to blame, for investigation has
proved that the swelling or rupture
is caused by the compression of the
air between the bullet and the obstruc-
tion.-1Popular Science Monthly.

WHAT HISTORY WILL RECORD.

Gerard, the late American ambassa-
dor at Berlin, has produced letter
to President Wilson, written by the
Kaiser with his own hand in which
this passage appears:
"BELGIAN NEUTRALITY WHICH
chad TO BE VIOLATED BY GER.
sMANY ON STRATEGICAL GROUNDS,
sNEWS HAVING BEEN RECEIVED
9THAT FRANCE WAS ALREADY
PREPARING TO ENTER BELGIUM
ssAND THE KING OF THE BELGIANS
ssHAVING REFUSED MY PETITION
ssFOR A FREE PASSAGE UNDER A
GUARANTEE OF HIS COUNTRY'S
sFREEDOM."
The German government had enter
ed into a solemn treaty not to vio-
late Belgian neutrality and history
will enter the following record:
France relied upon the observance
by the Germans of their treaty t..
respect Belgian neutrality and mss
ed her army on her eastern border.
The French were surprised by the
Kaiser's thrust at them through Bel
GUM, and in making the change OF
front their army was thrown into
confusion and would have been de-
stroyed had it not been for the bravery
of the Belgians who fought against
fearful odds, and held the Germans
back for a couple of weeks, there
by enabling the French to prepare
for the protection of their country.
History will record that the Kaiser's
simulated excuse was false, and known
to him to be false; that he knew be-
fore he invaded Belgium the exact
location Of the French army; that his
"strategical reason" was based upon
the opportunity which he saw for
destroying France by resorting to
base treachery and the violation of
solemn agreements on his part.
History will also record that the
war was greatly prolonged for the
reason that no one could trust the
German government, because under
the Kaiser's domination it had no re-
gard for it's most sacred treaty obi
cations.

No matter what misfortune befalls
the coal operators no tears will be
shed in Manchester. Their treatment
of Manchester has never been just or
equitable. 1t will be our good for

COAL PRICES FIXED BY PRESI-
DENT

Yesterday President Wilson fixed the
price of bituminous coal loaded on
cars at every mine in the United
States. That solves the coal problem;
that is business. The prices are rea-
sonable and vary enough to meet vary
ing conditions.
The average price at Illinois mines
is about $500 per ton, at Iowa mines
about S2.75. The mines that do not
comply with the Presidents order will
be take npossession of by the govern
ment.

Why Ammonia Cleans Clothes.

Ammonia, the great spot remover of
the American people, is really gas
dissolved in water. 1t belongs to the
alkali family, and on account of its
mineral origin is the foe of all oils
and grease, which explains the easy
way it disposes Of spots that soap and
water cannot affect. Bath ammonia
is q fine cleanser.
