TWO GERMAN VICTORIES.

The Germans won two victories
on Sunday, one in Russia, and one in
Chicago.
1t is not surprising that Germany
is not afraid of America.
There are enough traitors in the
United States to convince all the
world, including our friends, that we
are about as disorganized as Rus
sia.
The so-called peace council pulled
meeting in Chiraso, being assur-
ell protection nv the mayor, Bill
Thompson, while Illinois troops were
being hurried from Spring to the
city to prevent the meeting.
A lot of traitorous speeches were
made at the conference. The police
stood guard to protect the traitors.
All this happened in the second larg-
est city in America.
Just when the country shall suf-
ficiently waken to. give traitors what
is coming to them, no one is now able
to predict.

fight for loyalty.-Des Moines Cap

ITALIAN ROYAL FAMILY
DRESSES SIMPLY

ROME, Aug. 14.-(By Mail.)-
American women please take notice!
Neither Queen Elena nor the Queen
Mother Marguerite has had a new
dress or a new hat since Italy enter
ed the war.
The same rigid satorial economy
extends to the royal children. The
simple Boy Scout uniform is prac-
tically the 12-year-old Prince Um-
berto's Sunday go to meeting gar
ment. Unpretentious frocks, gener-
ally in cheap plaids or white stuffs
and even gingham, are the wartime
clothes of Prince Yolanda, Princess
Mafalda, Princess Giovanna and the
baby Princess Maria.
The kings dress suit, as the world
knows is a gray-green uniform. Rome
and his family see him seldom and
then only when official business calls
him to the capital.

KANSAS HOGS AND

A neighborly act as well as good
stroke of business is the exchange
now in progress between Kansas and

where they can grow to maturity.
Shortage of feed in Kansas has
threatened the extinction of prom
Using crop of young pigs, whose
value as food animals depends on
their being brought to proper age
and size. Market conditions ordi-
narily would tempt the owners to
rush these unfinished animals to the
slaughter pens, but better counsel
has prevailed. Thru the cooperation
of the agricultural boards Of the two
states an understanding has been
reached under which thousands of
the youthful porkers are coming
across the line into Nebraska. where
they will be fed and nurtured until
they will provide several times the
amount of meat that could be real
lied from them now. Under this ar
rangement the farmers of both states
are doing their bit in an intensely
practical way, and are showing that
patriotism and good judgment go
hand in hand at all times. The
worlds breakfast will not want for
bacon If this example is generally
followed. Bee.

KAISER'S MORALE SQUAD
is WATCHING AMERICA

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept IL
Watch your step, America! Also
your facial expression. Kaiser Willie
has his eye on you, looking for signs
of moral weakness. If he sees them
he will figure our morale is break
ing under the strain of war and that
he is winning.
Scattered thru every belligerent
country fighting Germany, so the
tale is told via Paris and Berne, the
wonder man of Wilhelmstrasse has
stationed flock of goggle-eyed psy-
scologists with two-ton brains.
watch the people" is what they
read when they got to their posts and
opened their sealed orders.
There are, it is understood, few
samples of these heavy-headed watch
ers in Washington, New York, Chi
cago, Denver, San Francisco and here
and there in other cities Of the coun-
try.
Maybe one of them is especially
detailed to watch the president. If
so, he must send some discouragingly
cheerful reports to Berlin, for Mr..
Wilson has spring in his step, a ready
smile. ruddy complexion, clear views
on the situation and an unimpaired
thinking apparatus.
Reports from America to the "Psy-
chology bureau" in Berlin are ex-
pected to influence the trend of Ger
many's diplomacy. If the brain stu
dents in American cities report:
Americans dragging feet listless-
ly, faces register blank expressions,
mental processes foggy and blunted
eyes flat and fishy."
That will be Germany's clue to re-
double its tagging efforts to sink de.
mocracy with its submarines, to pat.
ent few more choice brands OF
frightfulness, Commonly known in
Germany as shrechlichkeit,) claim
victory and the whole of Europe and
let it go at that.
But if the watchers find us keyed
up and capable, determined to sweep
up the wreck of the Prussian machine
with the kaiser's moustache and use
his nose for pick axe to dig his po-
litical grave, that will be tip for
B'rer Michaelis to use at rat-tail file
on his raucorous utterances.
al do not think" said Miss Harriet
Underwood, lecturer on psychology
at George Washington university and
an authority on the study of the
mind, that "these German observers
will find any evidences of weaken
ed morale here. ~ - .4-'.-e
"Our present attitude, should say,
is one of indifference, but believe
that will disappear when the casualty
lists begin to come in.
"The American Is, as people go,
stable. So far we have had no great
calamity to break down our morale.
When the crisis comes have no fear
but that we will respond in our nor
NAL way"
And that's the way several other
Of our own experts looked at it. They
said, in short, that the kaiser's NOR
ale squad won't get any satisfaction
out of its observations in the United
States until a certain torrid and just
