Let the People Know

We fail to see how the Government is
benefited by withholding the news OF
the sinking of a German U.boat by an
American armed merchant ship after a
spirited fight. And yet this news was
dribbled through by way of Norway and
London after the incident was several
days old. The American people are eager
ly scanning the columns of the newspa
pers for Just such news as this. 1t is the
very thing that would put heart into
them. The U-boat activities are the chief
meuace to victorious peace just now,
and the destruction of one reduces the
menace to that extent. Such news should
be given the widest publicity possible i'm.
mediately it is received at Washington,
instead of being withheld until it is made
public by a foreign, neutral power. The
men who are fighting submarines on
both naval destroyers and armed mer-
chantmen should have their friends at
home informed of their victories, as well
as misfortunes. These friends should have
first hand reports of all such engage.
ments as soon as possible after their oc-
currence. fit is true, as reported. that
American and English ships are DESTROY
ing more submarines than ever before the
people at home should know the facts.
Let us have the full record that we may
know just what progress is being made.
The moral effect of such news would be
of incalculable value to the nation. Give
the people the war news.

Plans.

At a meeting Of the Mississippi and
Fox River drainage district at Way
land on Thursday of this week. a
plan was agreed upon, which takes
Fox river and Sugar Creek down the
bluff and then down to Honey Creek
and then takes them out to the Mis-
sissippi river just above Gregory.
Leyees will be built along the Mis-
sissippi river which makes an ideal
drainage district and will be great
advantage to KeolSuk as 1t keeps this
land from overlooking and Keokuk
can anticipate a great deal of trade
from this rich farming land. only six
to fifteen miles from Keokuk. Mr..
John Buschling is president Of the
drainage board and Mr.. Charles
Kruger is secretary. Quite a num-
Der of Keokuk residents own land in
this district and are pleased with its
