BEILIGERENT POTATO BUGS.

An anonymous Ohio man has new
scheme for winning the war. The most
effective weapon, he argues, Is starva.
tion, and the chief thing that keeps the
Germans from starvation is potatoes
He would therefore blight next years
potato crop, and insure peace by next
winter.
The methods simple. Germany has
no potato bugs. He would have large
quantities of bugs distributed through
the Rhine country next spring by
American aviators. They would quick
ly multiply and form a devouring army
more effective than the armies on the
western front. He has proposed the
plan TO our government.
The humble "tater bug" may have
wonderful military potentialities in
him. but neither the American govern
ment nor the American people will be
much impressed with the scheme. II

GERMANS LOSING GRIP.

McAlester News-C Capital As days go
by and we read the war news from
Europe II becomes more patent every
day that the Germans are on the de-
fensive now rather than the offensive.
Not that the Germans are inclined to
take that side of the battle. but be-
cause of grim necessity. The allies are
forcing the issue at every turn and not
giving the Teuton chance 20. make
use of his preparations for a drive OF
any kind. The waiting game Is one that
the allies have given up. When the
opportunity presents itself they strike.
This was shown in the latest assault
against the Hindenburg line. The Ger
mans were making quiet preparations to
take the British by surprise. The willy
Haig allowed them to believe that they
were going to do just that. But when
the time came, just on the eve OF an
offensive by the German armies, Haig
launched his movement, catching the
Hun mapping while he was sitting back
for the word to start. The dispatches
tell us that the armies of Hindenburg
were completely bewildered and made
only a half hearted attempt to stem the
tide of onrushing Britons They had
been drilled in the tactics for an Of
fensive, but when called upon to pro-
tect themselves against an offensive
they were lost. 1t was one or the most
decisive battles of the war and will go
a long ways toward making the German
soldier, and the people back home, II

LIQUOR IN GREAT BRITAIN.

While prohibition is making remark
able -headway In the United States, IL
lags In Great Britain. The promise
held out by liquor reforms undertaken
in the war have not been fulfilled.
The government has made some pro.
gress Ii has succeeded In restricting
the conditions under which drink Is
sold in limiting the strength Of beer.
in curtailing the consumption of whisky
by treblin the price in imposing
heavy Jail sentences for drunkenness.
But still there is an enormous amount
OF liquor sold, an enormous quantity
OF foodstuffs turned into alcohol. and.
the reformers say. an enormous handi.
cap on British efficiency and economy
as a result.
Why doesn't the government take
more drastic action? Because il can't.
The British do not take kindly to pro-
hibition. They are drinking people,
as the Germans are.
Perhaps the people might be handled;
but the liquor interests have the nation
by the throat. Lloyd George is said
to have admitted that the liquor traf

and distillers raised to the peerage. 1t
controls legislation because, to what
public support IL musters, 1t adds the
support of the established church. That
support has been gained by lavish
gifts of bells, organs and churches and
other less estimable means. Thus the
conservatives and the radicals unite
when il comes to prohibition.
Says an English newspaper writer:
Great Britain will get prohibition, or
local option, as the temperance party
now seeks, when women vote and Tom
my comes back from the war. Tommy
will be stronger than either parliament
or booze in the days to come" Which
Is another reason why sober Britons
pray for an early peace.

MOTOR TRAFFIC.

The Liberty Trucks manufactured for
service in Europe are to be sent to
their seaport destinations under their
own power This is done to save the
over-worked railroads the burden of
transporting them. And there's a di-
rect gain in the process. The trucks
make, right along, 1875 miles a day,
which is marry times the speed of
freight trains.
In line with this development, and of
far more Importance, is the active ef-
fort now being made by the Committee
on Highways Transportation of the
Council Of National Defense to substi-
tute motor trucks for freight cars all
over the country. This is said TO be
quite feasible in all short haul service,
and particularly in congested COM
munities.
The committee is trying to Organize
and coordinate" the business in various
sections. 1t has already started TO out
line plans for the operation of regular
truck transportation lines between
neighboring cities and towns in the
East. 1t expects to establish the short
haul motor system on a basis that Will

1t is recognized, too, that more ef-

RODIN. THE GERMAN"

Germany has now appropriated Ro-
din, the great French sculptor she
waited in seemly fashion. until he was
dead, and then lost no time about II.
A celebrated German art critic has
made the official announcement to the
world:
"Rodin, like Shakespeare and
Michael, belongs to us Germans, for our
claim upon every art-creator Is one we
will never allow anybody to question.
That is to say, since Germany Is the
sum Of all greatness, every great man,
no matter what his nationality or race,
is necessarily a German.
We Americans find is difficult to get
this German viewpoint. But then, as
every German knows, Americans are
notoriously stupid.
Anyhow. why should anybody be

before. They have raised the food ex-

THE ERA or GOOD FEELING.

peace is restored. we shall have another

that we shall witness the passing OF

with no bitter campaigns, with never
n thing to divide friends and neiRhbors
politically. II Is a dream, OF course,
but II Is a fact that at this time poll.
ties is the least interesting Of eli our
troubles.
The EZRA OF good feeling" to which
the studets refer was the period In our
nations history following 1S2l-when
President Monroe was inaugurated the
secon dtime. The Democrats had swept
the country. The Federalist party was
as dead as the leaves In winter. Presi.
dent Monroe soothed the few remaining
Federalists In his inaugural address.
and for several years following there
was actually no political discussion in
this country-no issues whatever upon
which any considerable number of citi.
zens disagreed with each other. Later
on came the tariff issue and the ques-
tion OF internal Improvements to divide
the voters into political camps, but for
number of years following President
Monroe's second election we had, indeed,
an era of good feeling
At this time we have no real issues
In controversy. The country may be
said to be united upon the question OF
the war. for there Is not enough oppo-
sition to the president TO amount TO a
division of sentiment. In fact, there
is so little opposition TO the admins
tration that the few senators and rep
resentatives who disagree with II are
believed to be disloyal to the country;
at least they are so recognized by many.
Every one wants the war to end, but
to end in our favor. not In Germany's
favor.
