WHERE OUR DOCTORS ARE GOING.

Some idea Of the giant strides which
Uncle Sam has been making in his mill
tary department may be gained from the
fact that the medical corps of our first
army will be larger than our total forces
before the war. The medical department
of the new army will include 1900 officers
and 10, 900 enlisted men.
The problem of securing enough sur
geons for the army promises to be serious.
There are but $4,000 IN the country be-
tween the ages Of % and i5.-Milestones.

PUT the SALOON OUT OF POLITICS.

There Is to be a special election in
iowa on Oct. 10 to vote upon making
the prohibition Of liquor selling a part
| OF the constitutional law OF the state.
Few people realize now that there is
an election on this fall. but We can
depend upon it that the moblizable
booze vote of the cities and wet dis
tricts of the state will be notified in
time
Most people of Iowa believe that
Iowa is dry in public sentiment, and it
is if all will vote and express their I'M
prejudced opinion, but recent cleo
tions have shown that the wet vote is
so dangerously large that many polit-
ical observers are predicting the de-
feat Of the prohibitory amendment
Iowa today is dry because Of an act
Of the Legislature. The next legislature
could make Iowa wet again. II the
voters Of Iowa would vote the state
dry by constitutional amendment that
W
saloon out Of politics. To so wet again
two successive legislatures would have
TO vote wet and the people would have
to vote wet which would never happen.
In many a city Of this state saloons
were closed by petition before ne leg
islature enacted prohibition. In each
and every one Of them the result was
to take the saloon out of local politics.
Il would be so N the state. Many a
citizen who has never been convinced
OF the justice Of prohibition can con-
sistentIy vote for constitutional pro-
hib.tton for the sake Of removing the
saloon issue from politics. EVeFy dTE
who fails TO vote casts half vote for
the saloon in politics. His failure may
eventually bring about the etnrn OF
the open saloon TO Iowa. The date is
Oct. -. There is no argument thai

ITALIANS HAVE SMASHED THE CENTER

German Cenxorshin.

II has been, due directly TO an IRON
clad censorship of all newspapers and
publications in Germany that the pres
ent government there has been able to
stem the tide of rising revolt. II II
had not been for the arbitrary power
welded by the German governmen,
over all the press, the truth with re-
spect to the purposes of the allies and
the United States could not have been
kept so long from the German people
In any reform Of the government
thei efore, relaxation Of the censor
ship must be regarded as pre-
requisite.
The removal Of the censorship will
be the first step toward peace in Ger
many. 1t is for this reason that great
significance must be attached TO the
strong movement in the reichstag for
the abolition of political censorship
and limitation OF the military censor

duct OF the war. There has been con-
siderable criticism in the reichstag re-

nal political and military conditions.

the Gtrman people will understand how
deeply their rulers are execrated thru
out the world.

mean that Germany has sufficiently

is ready now to admit at least tacitly
that there is a chance she will not be
able TO compel an early and victorious

of the war, she wants TO have at least
chance TO compete with the now hos

OF that: but it may mean more At
any rate, searchers for the truth in
this diplomatic puzzle will do German
rulers the compliment to credit their
