A GREATER HORROR

II is encouraging to note that the
entente powers, to make China more
effective in the war. are willing to
waive the Boxer indemnities for per.
iod of five years.
The Boxer uprising and its horrors
to all foreigners who resided In China
AT the time are still vivid In the minds
of the people, but these selfsame peo.
pie, with the greater horrors of Teu.
ton practices daily set before them,
agree that every implement must be
used to crush this latest menace
much moro horrible and heathenish
than the yellow rebellion. in its most
lurid phases, ever was.
That tho United States cannot
waive the indemnities, because they
are necessary to maintain Chinese
students in America, is fact which
will generally be conceded by the al.
lies.

BOUNTY ON A HEAD

1t is not so much to stimulate his

enemy that prompted certain Ger.
man general to place a bounty of
10000 marks on the first American sol
dier, dead or alive, brought into his
lines as It was to inspire hatred among
his troops for Germanys greatest foe.
Behind the blunt, almost terrible,
offer is a suavity one hardly would ex.

al AS near as news dispatches indi-
cate, there is yet to be breathed into
the German people and the German
army that remorseless hatred for
America and al things American
which the kaiser, Won Reventlow and
others feel.
The German general best of all re-
alizes this. He is aware OF the fast
waning morale of his troops. He of.

THERE'S A REASON

When anybody is heard complaining
that the United States Is rapidly run
ming towards Socialism in that the
government is gradually taking over
the functions of private concerns, It
may in most cases be set down that
the complainant either Is a disappoint-
ed politician or German sympathizer
The most recent step I'm this line
was the assumption by the United
States of control over the entire sugar
industry of the country. Too much it
cannot be emphasized that such steps
as these are merely necessary war
measures-necessary to the effective
distribution of the food supply, both
at home and abroad, and necessary to
the union and the concert with which
the United States, as a whole, Is made
one big potential nation In the sue
cessful prosecution of the war.

spent the spring and summer there,
had some good hard work and exper.

the government impressed on them
that, as they were under draft age, a
real service would be performed by

This step Is wise. AS jealous in
their patriotism as the boys were and
as commendable as their motives may
be, they overlooked a duty they owed
to themselves, their parents and even
their country-the acquisition OF an ed.

greater advantage in the war than
their physical services at the present

Though many of these young men

ALLIGNING SWEDEN

A powerful Swedish political party
expressing regret that the government

that il intends to pursue policy of
absolute neutrality in the war.

for it was this body which passed the
resolution, are in the political game
for everything therein and have open

standpoint, that the Argentine affair
was disclosed at this particular time.
