REVOLUTION in Sentiment.

Copenhagen, April 6.-Ameriea's
entrance into the war is believed to
have caused big change of general
sentiment in Germany already, and
the conviction is evident that Ger
many cannot now win victory, or
dictate terms of peace, even in a
modified form. The feeling is appar-
emily growing that a more demo-
cratic basis of government and diplo-
macy must be proclaimed without
waiting for the end of the war, to
"eounteract the tempest of the
worlds opinion"

A new law in Canada prohibits
alien solicitation of business in that
dominion after May 1st, which will
include agents for American business
houses of all kinds, unless they have
branch houses in Canada. The law
may force the withdrawal Of repre-
sentatives of United States railroads
from Canada. And right now Can
ada is said to have hundreds of
agents on salary actively engaged
in this c6untry in soliciting cur
young men to go to Canada and
work or take up homesteads when
they are urgently needed in their
own country, either for military ser
vice or in the industries and on the
farms.
Uncle Sam appears to be getting
it slipped over on him, going and
coming. The Canadians do not seem

In other cities where a unit for
the national defense has been or
ganized, such as is being done here,
provision has been made for the pay
ment of some bonus to the families
Or parents of enlisted men, to sup
plement the pay the men will re
ceive from the government.
Something along this line should
be done here and While a ready re-
Spouse would be met to a subscrip-
ton paper, no doubt, there is no
reason why this expense should not
come out of the city and county
treasures, inasmuch as the men are
to serve in defense of the general
public. This matter will doubtless
be brought to the attention of the
county board at it's coming session.
