GERMAN LINE WATERING

The Allies continue their victorious
sweep on the western front. and the
German line seems to be giving way
at several important points, bur there
Is long way to 90 yet before the
more definite triumph shall have been
attained. One Thing appears to be
clearly established, and that is. while
the morale Of the German soldier has
diminished. that OF the allied forces
has become more spirited and hope
full. The German soldier is more
easily disheartened. He is a fierce
foe so long as he is pushing forward,
so long as success goes with the
eagles of his banners, but when he IL

There are 100000 prisoners Of war
In Europe whose situation entails con-

power OF the ALLIES to release the mind

SHORT SELLING GAMBLING

The recent depression in stocks
greatly retarded the fotauon Of the
Liberty Loan. There can be no oues-
ton about that. The necessary effect
OF short selling. whether in produce
or stocks. Is TO depress prices. The
short seller is a pessimist. He be-
lieyes values are going lower and he
makes contract which gives him q
personal selfish interest in the depres-
sion OF values. Recognizing this.

AN OHIO DECEPTION

II appears that the advantage the

Of being wiped out through decision
OF the Ohio Supreme Court which
sustains the petition for referendum

next month. The woman sutarge adj

State, for the reason that twice be-
fore they rejected constitutional

Cotton took a lively squirt upward

opportune time to turn loose any
cotton that is still being held by
farmers. Apparently there is big
difference between s cent cotton and
27 cent cotton. but its not so great
after all to the fellow who has to
buy corn at 1925 per bushel for his
stock and meat for his table at 70

be to raise his own food-stuffs, so
that when he gets a check for his
