FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 10, 1917.
WE MUST DEMONSTRATE TO GER
MANY.

However satisfactory is the per-
Torrance of putting the first contln-
gent of American troops in France
without a mishap, it must be recalled
that this is but the beginning of what
will necessarily be a great operation
with many times as large force
transported over the sea and put on
the field of battle. Our transports must
move back and forth across the At
1antic in repeated round trips, our
army in France must grow steadily
and RAPIDLY until it becomes a prac-
tical factor in the war. Until we nave
at the front force sufficient to strike
with effect, to hasten the collapse OF
Germany's military power, our en-
trance into the war will have but
sentimental move, greatly cheering
to our allies but not of practical as
sistance to them in the campaign.
Already German newspapers In
spired, of course, by the officials I'M
der whose direction they are permit
ted to comment upon the situation,
are belittling the American expedl-
lions as of no Importance, and de-
claring that there is no danger from
this quarter in measurable time In
other words, it is the German hope
that the allies will be compelled to
begin peace moves before the United
States has had time to put a striking
force in the field.
The American answer to this COM
ment must be a speeding of the troops.
We must demonstrate to Germany
that we can move in force without
delay. We are about to create a great
national army by selective draft. The
date for the draft must be promptly
set and processes of selection put into
effect quickly. Meanwhile those units
that are organized and equipped
should be sent forth as speedily as
transports are available. The flow Of
troops to France should be steady
and the arrivals should be in such
numbers as to make an impression
even upon the German mind, just as
the first contingent has already deep
ly impressed the French and English.
Why should not schedule be adop-
ted as the minimum Of American per-
Torrance? We have way here of set
ting a date for our accomplishments,
and keeping the date. Let us say to our
allies, we will have a million men, or
a million and a half in the field-nOt
in training, but in the field by GER
tain date Our troops will be kept
moving eastward, by thousands, tens
Of thousands. Every month, or every
fortnight, another convoy, another
khaki on the soil of France. Then Ber-
lin would perhaps change its tune.
We must not permit Germany to
ridicule our performance. We must
give her ground for declaration that
there is no danger from America with
in measurable time. We have started
making war and must press it to the
limit of American energy and re-
ce-Washington Star.

BY ADELAIDE KENNERLY.

Every day we live we discover
something new, either in people,
or things, or conditions.
| discovered quite by accident,
that the salesgirls and statesmen
are human-entirely human. And the
more I tested out this discovery
the more I became convinced that
they are just as human, have just
as much feeling, just as susceptible
to influence and atmospheres as |
am-and | am no better and no
worse than the rest.
After confding in a woman
friend, assuring her that sales
people were not automatons, but
had temperament, temper, heart
and brain, the same as everybody
else, we decided to try the follow
ing recipe on a number of them:
First put yourself in a bright,
CHEEKY mood. Upon entering the
store, if the salesperson does not
notice you, remember that some
thing may. have gone wrong at
home or that she may not be we'll.
We make these allowances for
bread that does not rise during cer-
tain atmospheric conditions, you
know. Do not stand at her counter
and allow your temper to boil
(over-boiled water makes, very poor
tea. 1t loses its value with every
bubble), but go to the girl and
speak pleasantiy--jdst like a friend,
and as though she had as much or
more intelligence than you have
and tell her what you want This
recipe works nine. times out Of every
ten. She will give you the best she
has, both in goods and service.
Occasionally there is foolish"
or dummy" or a "no-accomt"
where a saleswotrian ought to be,
who will not, probably cannot, re-
spond to your CHEEKY manner, but
she is the exception.
Said an Omaha woman: ,"There
is the incest. brightest girl in the
shoe department of the department
store where ] buy my shoes! She is
so intelligent! She knows her stock
thoroughly and she surely does
know how to fit! | take my chill
dren there, too, because she has so
much sense. And Mrs. Blank in
the coat department is certainly an
efficient saleswoman. She knows
materials, style, lines and figures
and she tells one the truth about
becoming and unbecoming clothes.
l like to purchase wraps in her de-
part.nent"
Shortly after that she told ME
how dreadful all the clerks had
been to her that day, and | sympa-
thized with her. 1t didn't work.
This was the reply she gave:
There was something within me
today that irritated everyone with
whom | came in contact. / was in
no condition to shop. 1t was not
fair to myself nor to the salesgirls.
The next time I feel the way | did
today | shall remain within my
own four walls and not infiict my
ugly feelings upon other people"
There you arel
The problem is solved for that
woman! She will get good service
wherever she goes. She will find
shopping rather pleasant task

board of trade, added: 1T is impossi-
BILE to exaggerate the importance Of
finding oil in this country. We can
not yet say that. it is here, but it is
certainly worth, looking for. Oil is
almost more important at this moment
than anything else. You may have

have no oil you are without the great.

Grasshof Held In
Lonely Confinement
After Diary Found

Capt. Karl Grasshof, commander Of
the German gunboat Geier. was in
termed in Honolulu Nov. s, 1914, and
retained his freedom on parole until
the attempt was made to destroy the
machinery aboard the German war
ships and merchantmen in February,
1916. His parole was then revoked
and he and the German crews were
confined at Schofield Barracks.
Later with the discovery Of the
diary which revealed the wide range
of the violations Of the neutrality OF
the United States, together with the
breaking of their word Of honor and
parole while they were interned, Cap
tain Grasshof was tried by courtmar
tain Grasshof was examined and
placed in solitary confinement,
where he remained until the Ger
man prisoners were transferred
during the summer to Fort Douglas, at
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Captain Grasshof was seemingly a
man of refinement and education and
imbued with all the principles Of the
Kaiser's school of warfare.

German AttackUpOn.
Canada Was RuT1Or

One of the messages received here
By the German consulate, according
to the Geier officer. was one directing
that information be spread on the re-
port that Germans in America were
planning an attack in force upon
Canada.
As this message was received oN
the consulate, according TO Grasshof,
the question arises if the answer TO
il was sent by that same office. This
answer stated that the message was
unintelligible and asked for further
information.
No reply was received to this query.
which Grasshof directed, but was it
sent by the local consulate?
Curiosity was too strong to be quiet
ed, however and about week later a
second query was sent to find out the
meaning OF the first message. AD
answer came to this stating that the
matter was settled.
Viewed from the point of neutrality,
an attempt of this sort to stir up
trouble in which the United States
would actually figure with its next
door neighbor. Canada, in case sucG
an attack should be made, must ap-
pear as one Of the most serious
breaches Of faith recorded in the cap
tain's annals, it is declared.
