TO FEEL HAND OF LAW

Premature celebration of Hallow-
cen on the part Of gangs of boys
will meet with drastic punishment
this year, according to Juvenile Off
Ger Purcell and the police authorities.
Several complaints have come in re-
Gently to the authorities that boys
have opened the season already and
are perpetrating various kinds of
mischief that borders on plain van
dalism, rather than innocent fun.
The pounding with clubs against
residences and carrying rubbish and
placing it on porches does not meet
with the ideas of the local authorities
as a species of innocent amusement
and the officers have received instruc-
tions to stamp out the practice.
"We don't expect to run after the
boys and try to catch them,' said
Juvenile Officer Purcell Friday, "but
we'll collect the evidence and then
arrest them and they must expect to
pay the penalty"
In many cities this year Halloween
promises to see departure from the
time-honored practice of throwing
corn and vegetables, agitation having
been started to discourage this owing
to the food conservation movement

HOW IT'S DONE

people from the Indians. the graphic
description OF the running fight be-
tween an Americsn steamer and a
German U-boat carried IN the news

thrilling story, as It gives an init
mate idea of just what Is being done
daily in meeting the submarine mon.

The American steamer was doom
ed for sinking, had II not been for
the arrival Of the o. s. torpedo boat
destroyer which had heard the calls
for assistance from this boat and
which travelled al the terrific speed of
80 knots an hour to arrive on the
The Submarine submerged immedi-
ately
There is evidence galore in this
story that American destroyers are
doing a tremendous work in the bar
red zone. The U-boat recognized its
greatest and most-feared enemy and
made away Instantly. With suf-
fiaient patrol of these destroyers,

distress, there is little doubt but that
the submarine menace Is decreasing
more and more each day and that

FOOD DRIVE STARTS

Tonight witnesses the end of the
Liberty Loan campaign and tomorrow
ushers IN the start of the next great
drivesin which the United States peo
pie will be asked to participate-food

Every person Ia Knox county will
be asked to sign pledge card, reg
istering himself or herself as one
and advice OF the natiinal food ad-
ministration in order that the import.
ant supply of the United States may
be conserved during the war.
The pledge Ia a simple one and tho
Instructions do not place an imposL
tion upon any signer The cards
should be subscribed to readily. but
what Is more important-the lnstruc.
tions should be conscientiously and
implicitly carried out
Among the things which Knox coun-
ty people wiz be asked to do are the
following:
Have one wheatless meal a day.
Use more poultry, rabbits, fish
and seafood
Do not use beef, mutton or pork
more than once daily.
Use soup and beans more freely.
Use all the milk. not part of It,
Use less sugar.
Double tho use of vegetables
Think these requests over, Mrs
Housewife Is there any reason why
you cannot prepare tasty, attractive
and satisfying meals and still conform
to this scheduleY
The signing OF the food pledge care
and the carrying out of it's instruc
tions is an exceedingly important wa
service, Be prepared to act quiCkl!
and readily when you are seen tn,

MICHAELIS YIELDS

DR.. Georg Michaelis, makeshift and
"straw man" chancellor of Germany,
has yielded to the ultimate and tend
ed his portfolio to the kaiser.
Michaelis' step Is accredited With
having been brought about through
his wavering, unsatisfactory aud even
dual policy toward peace The Social.
ist group in the reichstag, by its very
dissatisfaction, is said to have forced
the issue. The chanCellor's open ac-
cusation that the Socialist party gave
aid and comfort to. the mutlneers at
Wilhelmshavcn is assigned as the
immediate cause for Michaelis' step.
But is this SO? Probably not.
Michaelis is answerable to the
reichstag only so far as he is answer
able to a general popular demand.
The iniquitous system OF government
with which the German people are
fettercd makes OF the reichstag little
better than debating society. MI
chaelis could even 60 SO far as openly
TO defy the reichgtag, as long as no
pleased his overlords. although II
would scarcely be polite to do 80.
Hence, the reichstag can hardly be
ascribed with unseating the chancel-
lor unless the voice Of the reichstag
was interpreted as the voice of the
people and herein probably lies the
real solution of what has just trans.
pired in Germany.
Accepting this Interpretation, one
would CLEAN that the German rNNrle
seek an outright, frank and clear Jrt
statement Of Germany's peace terms
They want to know, in other words,
why they are fighting and why they
should continue to fight-not In terms
Of ambiguity or veiled In the suave
shroud of Teuton state utterances,
but simple rudimentary and compre-
henslble language. Such a statement
will mean just as much to the allies
and the United States as to the Ger
mans II will determine the more
clearly what remains to be done.
