PRESS COMMENT. -
Cleveland Plain Dealer-Camouf1age
is officially recognized. The army
chief of engineers at Washington has
issued a call for the formation of an
American camOufage unit. Reduced
to its lowest possible terms camou-
flage is plain taking. When the foxy
Gibeonites in their tattered robes ana
clouted shoes, appeared before the ls-
raelite evolutionary force at Gllgal,
and worked upon JOshua's feelings I'M
til he made treaty with them, they
were camoufaging. Recruited from
a land teeming with inventors and IN
yentions, rich. in artisans, of high de-
gree, our new camouaage unit should
render a good account OF itself. ~.
Wallace's Farmer-Prices generally
are twice as high now as they were
lust before the war began. Everyone
knows, that prices will go, down as soon s2ll
az. the war ends, but there is cons1G
cradle question as to lust now low

prices are determined by the ratio pc:
tween the volume of gold, silver and
paper money. in circulation, compared
to the volume of the produce which we
buy and SELL Prices are nearly twice
as high now as they were before the
war. because we have just about twice

the world as a whole.
Des Moines Capital-Before this war
has gone on much longer the govern
ment will, in self.defense, be. compell-
ed to prohibit the printing OF neWspa-:
pers. books and pamphlets in the Ger
man language in the United States. Il
the disloyal German language news
papers are not suppressed before our
wounded boys begin to come from Eur,
ope, the boys will do for the German
press what the boys of 81 did to the
Copperhead press. There is not loyal
German language newspaper iR Amer

Buffalo Express-The men from the
South of: Ireland and from the North OF
Ireyand who charged :, shoulder to
shoulder at Ypres, fighting, for the lib
erty Of the world were at the same
time doing the most effective work for
the cause of Ireland. Those who would
align tIrishmen against the cause of
world liberty are taking the one course
which can make liberty for Ireland i'm
possible, -. ~.c--
Louisville CourierrJournal -, One
great advantage in electing a college
professor as the president of the Unit
ed States is that when the time comes
to call the kaiser -- liar, a----
murderer, a; --- hog, he can do it in
language not onlny free from profanity
but actually distinguished for: ele-
New York Tribune-1t Is taking the
autocrats of Germany, Austria Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey a long time to
frame a reply to the pope, which
shows that President Wilson's note
has been received and is slow of diges-
ton.
Indianapolis Star Those foreign
diplomats who are surprised at the
promptness of our reply, to Pope Bene-
diets peace note should realize that is
what comes of knowing what you want
to say and not being afraid to say it.
Houston Post-A Washington CORE

La Toilette. If La Toilette, Reed and
Gronna want applause, let them go
to the reichstag, where they belong,

Literary Digest-A full garbage can
is good sign that the family does not
know how to make the most of it's food
supply. The contents of our cans
should be reduced to minimum.

of coincidence that the officials who
are endeavoring to make North Dakota
the Finland of this country have their
headquarters at a place named Bis

Syracuse Post-Standard-The value
