WAR OF CONQUEST.

That Chancellor AIichaelis, of Germany,
and Count Czernin, Austrian foreign min
istcr, should have expected their peace"
interviews, in which no reference was
made to the fate of Belgium and Serbia, to
be seriously considered is typical of the
egotism that has caused so many blunders
in diplomacy, and Of the greed that has
turned the greater part of the civilized
world agains the Teutonic allies.
Austra's treatment of Serbia aroused
Russia and France; Germany's violation of
Belgium drew England into the war, while
Of the United States it is the principal pur
pose make safe the rights Of small
nations.
That Michaclis failure to refer to Bel
gium and Serbia was not not an oversight,
was clearly demonstrated by the inspired
German press.
SAYS the Berlin Lokal Anzcigcr: "Nfr,
Asouiths inquiry as to whether we are
ready to restore Belgiums full freedom,
cen only be meant as a rhetorical question,
Mr.. AsQuith must know that aside from
4 handful of dreamers, nobody thinks Of
handing Belgium back again to England
and France"
Nor yet to Belgium.

The SCRATCH PAD.
BY THOMAS EWING 0AsNEY.

A chivalrous man, Imogen, is one
who does not lose his temper when
lady bugs destroy his war garden.

For one thing let us at least be
thankful: The Russians don't call it a
strategic retreat.

marine will be coming in from men
who don't know any more about ship

The gifted correspondent who re-
ported U-boats off the Maine coast
has gone to Utah and is now send
ing out stories of German airplanes
making mysterious flights there.
With the thermometer climbing
over the century mark in various
parts of the United States, it is not
likely that Kaiser Bill would care for
a place in the sun in this country.
Now that the copperheads of con-
gress have been found out, they can
serve their master best by going to
Germany and offering themselves to
supply the shortage in an important
| munitions material.
While they are learning operations
! against the Germans, we strongly ad-
wise the boys at Black Point not to
neglect defensive measures against
mosquitoes.
Harwick has now proposed a bill
requiring every soldiers individual
consent to be sent to Europe. Hard
wick is building up quite a reputation

pidity.

1t is reported that when German

views with their Hausfraus when they

SALOONS MAY MOVE
To OTHER LOCATION
WITH NO EXTRA FEE

So far as the city commissioners
are concerned, saloons in the recently
created district wherein liquors can
not be disposed of, may move to other
locations without extra cost. In taking
out saloon licenses. the locations of
the places have to be designated in
the application for permission to do
business, but this is waived, through
the medium of a resolution which
passed yesterday afternoon at tho
special meeting of the city commits
sioners:
The resolution is as follows:
The Resolution.
Resolved, That all duly licensed
dealers in spirituous, vinous and malt
liquors are hereby granted the right
to temporarily transfer the location
of their places of business in order
to comply with the requirements of
the United States, provided all state
and county laws, rules and regula-
tions are complied with, without the
payment of additional fees; and that
the comptroller be and is hereby au-
thoriZed to issue a certificate of such
transfer upon application to and ap-
proval of such transfer by the COM
missiOners.
This resolution is properly attested
by the city clerk.
May All Move.
In line with orders from the at
torney- general, as told in more COM
plete form in another column, prac-
tically all saloons doing business in
the city will, for the next couple of
weeks at least, be affected by the
fact that military company is es-
tabished in the armory. Hence the
request, which is understood to have
been made of the commissioners, by
committees from the saloon men
after it became known yesterday that
if they cared to remain in business
during that time, they would have to
transact the same at some more dis
tant point than they now occupy.

AUGUST 4, 1917.
One Hundred and Eighteenth Day of
America in the War.
SWALLOWING THE CANAL.

Censorship is good, censorship is neCes-
sary, but would it not be better if, instead
OF suppressing information that is pub.
1ished in Europe and known in Germany,
the government spent more time in sup
pressing open disloyalty and sedition here?
True, one issue of Tom Watsons paper
was denied the use of the mails because of
an attack on conscription, and so has one
issue of the Kissimmee Gazette for repro
ducing, in an advertisement, part OF the ar
ticle But, in the former case, this was
only the elimination of a series of Sedi-
tious utterances-the first of an evil intent
as he last.
And the German language press, to-
gether with propagandist publications in
EngIish, have been allowed to spread their
foul contagion almost without hindrance.
What, for instance, could be more sedi-
tious than the August issue OF Bull, pub
lished apparently by the American Truth
Society, in New York, by whose head,
Jeremiah A. OLeary, the leading article
was written?
"Bun" is one long lampoon Of the United
States and its allies, and President Wilson
was never mon Outrageously cartOOned
in the Berlin press.
Resides the attack on the United States,
much space is devoted to an abuse of GER
tain news agencies and in5ividuals who
would not support the publication-es especi-
alv to one Herman A. Metz. a German
American, who gave as his reason that he
was for the United States and against
Ge many.
The OLearv mentioned is the same
Jeremiah whose POtsdam connections in
his attempt to compass the defeat of Pres1-
dent Wilson because of his firm stand
against Germany, were so clevGrly lndl-
Gated a few months ago.
Had the government shut down on the
activities of the Truth Society, which by
circular, pamphlet and personnel exhorta-
ton, has been doing all in its power to
prevent the successful ConsummatiOn OF
our war plans. there would be no seditiOuS
"Bull" today.
And the attack of the German language
press on Our allies, though apparently sup
porting the United States, is an attack on
us. How can we ask Mexico, neutral, tc
suppress pro-Gcrman propaganda, when
We, bellgcrent, are not doing 1t
The responsible press is volunteering tC
suppress everything that may hurt th(
cause. Why is the irresponsible press al
lowed to continue its efforts to hurt it:
WHY are not seditious writers who reach
thousands, given as short shrift as the
street corner agitatOrs, who reach only :
dozen or so?
