NOT A WAR OF RHETORIC.

All this talk of the weakening of
the German Army's morale may have
a tendency to cause our soldiers to
underrate the enemy against whom
they will fight. There is very slight
evidence that the German power of
resistance is weakening, even if the
power to attack has lost it's vigor. 1t
is still a long way to the Rhine and
further yet to Berlin. The Southern
Confederacy kept up a grueling war
fare against the Federal troops for
fully two years after they found them
selves in a worse plight than any
thing which Germany has yet expert
enced; and there is nothing to show
that the Hun is within sight of real
disaster. The war will not be over
shortly; and military opinion at Wash
ington is proceeding upon that theory.
1t is the politicians of the administra-
ton who are putting out the rosy
views of a weakened Germany; and
they are probably sowing the wind
from which they will reap the whirl-
wind when the casualty lists begin to
come in. The United States is in for
a long, hard struggle which will not
be won by rhetoric.

KATHLEEN CLIFFORD
THE BEsT-DREssED MAN.

Kathleen Clifford, the dainty star of
"Who Is Number One'?", the Anna
Katharine Green story that Paramount
has made into the most-talked-of serial
of the year, has had an extended ca
reer as a musical comedy star and
vaudeville headliner. She gained great
fame for her representations of boys
and men, and is known as "the best
dressed man on the stage"
Miss Clifford will be seen in the
first episode of who Is Number
One'?" at the Strand Theatre. on Fri
day, November 9.
Until she appeared in the Para
mount serial, Miss Clifford never had
been in motion pictures. She was
and was reared and educated in Eng
land, but she's an American through
and through.
She was a very young lady when
she returned to America and decided
she would become an actress. She
approached Charles Frohman.
What can you do?" he asked the
tiny miss who was seeking a career.
Nothing" she answered promptly.
And he Immediately signed her.
you'll have nothing to %unlearn," he
explained, and he put her into the
cast of "The Top o. The World",
where she Immediately established
herself as an actress of ability. This
engagement was followed with impor-
tant parts in Little Dorrit," Little
Boy Blue" 1.-THE Follies Bergere,"
"The Winsome Widow" "Everyman's
Castle" "a Pair of Queens" Business
Before Pleasure" and "The Heart of a
Child" In between these engage
ments she toured in vaudeville and
became as popular in the 'two-a-day
as she was on the legitimate stage.
Most of her vaudeville acts, songs,
lines, and music are her own work.
Miss Clifford is only five feet one
inch tall and weighs IS pounds. She's
the tiniest grown-up in the movies.
Because she is athletic ard fearless,
as well as an actress of established
ability, she was chosen as the star for
Paramount's serial, who Is Number
One'?" in which she was called upon
to risk her life daily that the film pa
irons might be properly thrilled. Miss
Clifford never has faltered and is one
IF the few serial stars who will leap
aboard flying trains or dodge flying
timbers without a tremble.
Right now, after her film achieve
ments, Miss Clifford is proudest of
being the Honorary Colonel of the
18Oth Overseas Canadian Regiment.
The commission was conferred on her
in recognition of services in connec-
ton with the formation of tie regi-
ment as well as Red Cross duties in
France.

COMPLACENY NEAR AN END.

The mild censure which Congress
voted upon Representative Hefin of
Alabama may serve to temper his ex
travagance of speech in the future;
and it is far less than he deserved.
His unrestrained voice has so often
poisoned the air at Washington that
he should congratulate himself upon
getting off so lightly now. When he
goes back to the Capitol in December
it will be interesting to note whether
he presents himself in a chastened
spirit or whether he will continue to
essay the role of spokesman for the
administration" If he is to remain in
this position, it may be fairly assumed
that the White House stands sponsor
for a policy of unjustifiable attack
upon all and sundry who may. chance
to disagree with the administration.
Under such circumstances the Repub-
licans in Congress will feel free to
abandon the complacency with which
their patriotism has hui far led them
to stand by the President" whose
own party has failed him. Indeed,
Congressman Madden has already
given notice that the next session of
Congress will find a more self-assert-
i've minority.

"UNABLE TO %CoMPETE."

Without coming out fatfooted in ia
vor of the principle of protection to
American industry, Secretary of Com
merce Redfield frequently let's escape
from his department statements of
his subordinates which tend very
strongly to support a protection argu-
ment. One of his assistants, Mr.. Wal
ter Parker, recently made an address
Atlantic City, in the course of which
he had this to say regarding the fu-
ture business of ships which have
been built or Communicated by the
shipping board:
"Those ships, after the war, will
compete with all other ships in the
world. There is no protection for
them beyond our Smile coast line. If
it should cost US an appreciate per-
centage more to move our commerce
to and from the interior to the side Of
those ships than it costs the Rhine
merchants, say, to serve their own
ships, u ships and our generators of
commerce will be unable to compete"
If it be true as stated by the Assist
ant Secretary of Commerce that an
appreciate percentage of increase of
cost of moving freight from the inter
ior to the ships will make it impossi-
BILE for our ships to compete, what
must necessarily be the disastrous eff
feet if the German manufacturer is
able to make his products at a very
materially less cost and also trans
port them to the ships at less cost and
place them in the American market
unrestrained by an import duty?

AMERICANS DEVELOP
SOUTH AMERICA.

The u. s.. commercial representa-
tive at Buenos Ayres has sent to the
Department of Commerce a report of
Argentine meat exports for the first
six months of 1917. 1t is interesting
to note that the names of some of the
largest exporters of beef from Argen-
tina bear a striking similarity to the
names of some of the largest meat
packing concerns of the United States.
Under the tariff system which we
adopted in 1913, American capital can
p~rofitably engage in meat packing in
South America and ship the product
here.
A somewhat similar situation is in
Dictated in the latest report from the
consul general at Rio de Janeiro. 1t
is stated in that report that an Amer
lean company has engaged in the in
PRODUCTION of blooded stock into Brazil
for the purpose of building up BRAZIL
an herds. 1t is stated that from an
economic point of view, this is very
vital to Brazil at present and that as
a consequence the future holds in
store for that Republic a prominent
place in the meat industry of the
world.

NEGOTIATING
GUINEA Pigs
Federal Authorities Are
Probing Tetanus Plot
In Kansas
(By Associated Press. !


Kansas City, Mo-, July Ie.-Fed-
eral chemists and bacteriolakiEts were
preparing today to inoculate guinea
pigs with cultures obtained from
speciments of court plaster, believed
to be impregnated with tetanus
germs, and alleged by the authorities
to have been distributed throughout
Kansas by peddlers as a part of 4
plot to plunge the state into an cpl
demic of disease.
Whether the alleged plot was be-
lieved to be of Germanic origin has
not been disclosed by Fred Robert
son, United States district attorney
for Kansas in charge of the investi-
cation, but it is understood that the
names of some of men under arrest
are of Teutonic origin. Identity of
the men has not been disclosed nor
have the places of their detention
been announced. The latter move
was declared to have been taken to
prevent any possible mob action.
The court plaster under suspicion,
which was sold or given away, was
put up in the conventional fiat pack
age. .r -
The first possible fatality from such
a plot was reported here last night
from Winfield, Kansas where a man
died after treating an apparently
harmless sore on his leg with court
plaster and poisoning his entire sys-.
TEN as a result.
