PREDICTS END OF THE WAR.
lDes Moines Capital.l

lDes Moines Capital
The Capital predicts that the pres
ent world war will end about the
middle of November. 1918.
The British, American and French
submarine destroyers will have the
submarine under control within three
or four months from this time. Inc
prediction is based on the courage ana
genius of American naval CONSTRUCTORS
and officers and the genius OF Amer
can inventors. Every poison has lls
antidote and it is unreasonable TO sup
pose that the submarines CANNOT Dc
successfully dealt with.
The German submarine has been re-
lied upon by the Germans as a means
OF starving Great Britain, bringing
England to her knees as they cali IL.
All the Germans in Germany nate
all the English in England, therefore
the starving Of Great Britain would
be a 10y as well az German triumph
to all Germans.
The people OF Germany will demand
that the war shall end when the sub
marine is converted into a useless
thing. The rank and file in Germany
now keep score on the submarine
work. Every time German submarine
sinks a British vessel the German rank
and file mark off another one and i'm
mediateiy announce that only GER

and that within three months England
will be starving.

ENLIST OR PAY.
[Traer Star-Clipper.l

A reader wants to know il we ex-
pect him to borrow money at the bank
at s per cent with which to buy a
liberty bond that draws only three and
a half. We are not arguing that it
would be money making investment.
The boys who are snlisting in the army
are not doing it because they can make
more money there than at home. The
men who are serving the nation on the
registration boards and the defense
council are not doing it for money, in
fact they volunteered their services
without pay. In times of war we must
all expect to serve our country in some
capacity, regardless Of profits hnan-
cially.

TWO TYPES.


Down at Cedar Rapids. wealthy
business man allowed two young wo-
men and Chicago attorney to bleed
him out Of large sum, because he
wanted to keep his sins from the pub
lie. He awakened one day to the fact
that he had been chump and he con-
cluded to tell ALL and make an ex-
ample of those who are alleged to have
pulled his leg. So he secured the in
dictment of the two girls and their at
torney, one Jirka, for alleged extortion.
The trial Of Jirka has been in progress
at Marion, during the past two or three
weeks. The girls do not appear to
have had much to lose by the recitals
OF the trial and the prosecuting wit
ness has not much left to recommend
him for membership to society OF

cital Of the old, old story OF too much

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Grundy Democrat thinks the
weather may be good for the crop and
make the cornstalk more hardy. AS
a spanking is good for a 10-year- old
boy SO this cold, wet weather may be
good for Iowa land and the making OF
big crop, argues the Grundy paper.

there is a great protest against con-
scription-among the loafers and
