Whatever material there may be for quar-
rel with Germany and Austria over submarine
policies, the United States has no complaint
against Turkey (yet) and it is difficult to mag
Inc any American ill-feeling toward Bulgaria.
Our relations with Bulgaria have been more
than merely "friendly.' The report that Bull
garia considers our attitude in the submarine
case as rejecting upon herself is discomforting,
and inasmuch as the formal practice on such
occasions permits the United States and Bull
garia to avoid open manifestation of unfriendli-
ness, we may hope the report is untrue.
Bulgarian progress of the past few years
has been of special interest to America An
American college established in Bulgaria has
been strong educational influence upon that
country, and more than once eminent Bull
garans have welcomed American interest il,
their welfare. The Bulgarian queen was pre-
pairing for a visit to the United States when
her country answered Germany's call
Bulgaria's motives in entering the war are
hardly our affair, but least we are permitted
to regard her situation as in way interfering
with the continuance of a relationship which
has been pleasant and profitable both to Bull
Raria and America

IOWA PREss coMMENT.

Sioux City Journal: After Attorney
General Havener has succeeded in Sc
curing strict enforcement of the anti
tipping law in Des Moines he can take
the other iowa cities in the order of
size. It would, Of course. be folly for
the attorney general to bother about
enforcement in other towns until the
example had beet set in the state capt
tai.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Unpatri-
otto sentiments have been expressed
frequently in this country In recent
weeks. And several OF the divers per-
sons who have thus thoughtlessly dis
played their disloyalty have been oblig-
ed later on to seek the services Of hos
pitfalls. There are not many places
were even so many as two or three
people are gathered together but that
Uncle Sans friends are in a majority.
Those whose love Of foreign country
is greater than love for America will
find the present time a very approp-
iate opportunity to run with their
muller cut-offs closed and their soft
pedals pushed down to the limit.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
Government ownership OF railways
never had such an opportunity to make
friends as the past few months have
afforded It. And it appears to be tax
ing full advantage OF its opportunity.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Senator
Kenyon might as well cut out talk
about the big eastern papers not being
willing to tell the truth. What are
they able to conceal? The senator has
his voice left and we have not noticed
that the papers are refusing to print
whatever he says If he knows any
secrets. II he will tell them the papers
will print them. The truth Is that the
papers are willing to print anything
that any one knows and the senator
knows that as well as the rest of us
All the rest is mere fol de roll and
worse even.
Castana Times: Endow university
to educate boys, also start an ammuni
ton factory to kill boys. Gee. but this
civilization Is great stuff.
Carroll Herald: The legislature has
demonstrated that 1t is a harmless
body, now It may stay in session till
spring work demands the return OF
Cincinnatus to his plow. While the
even-break continues the legislature
can do no wrong.
Oskaloosa Herald: We overheard a
travelling man in the hotel the other
night say he had been selling liquor fol
twenty-five years and in all that time
he never had taken drink himself
He said his house paid him to sell

SERIOUS MIGRATION PROBLEMS.

A poor crop year in the south and a season
of high wages in the north led to a migration OF
the southern negroes last year, and this shifting
of a few thousands Of population was hailed as
a new national problem There were dire pre-
diotions as to the effect Of the southern negroes
experiment with northern climate and condl-
tons: when a handful of the wanderers re-
turned to their native homes reporting failure
in the north, it began to look as though charity
might have to take hand in caring for others
who failed the test of northern Industrial
rigors.
Little has been heard of the negro problem
lately. Perhaps there is none. The negro la
borers have scattered and in the absence of spe-
cific complaint it may be presumed that they
are doing well. The problem in any case, even
the worst, would not be more serious than any
ordinary problem of labor distribution
IF real and serious problems in racial migra-
ton are sought. they can be found in Europe
today, tomorrow and for years to come. The
use of territorial troops on European soil is a
problem in itself; the expeditionary movements,
such as the sending of Russians to France and
the allied armies to the near east are another
problem; the importation of foreign labor is an
other In France there are men from China,
Africa, India; hardly dot on the map has
failed to make it's contribution to the fighting
and working forces of the allies. There indeed
will be found the problem of a stranger in a
strange land What deportations, elections, re-
distribution and readjustment will be neces-
sary to straighten out the racial mess after the
war no one has ventured to guess.
America, with only an interstate immigra-
ton problem. has little cause for anxiety.

They say that designing for Ameri- cans occupies the tifne-so far as II is occupied--of the word-famous mo- distes of Paris. Judging from the num- ber of imports, and that the Amerl- cans who look to Paris are those of two hemspheres, the designers seem to be fairly busy. In spite of the ten sion of war there seems to be no lack of inspiration in the products of the peculiar genius Of the French.
