BERLIN STILL TRYING TO DISCRED.
1T THE AMERICANS.

In making reluctant admission of the
loss of the village of Cantigny the Ger
man war office continues its efforts to
discredit the participation of the United
States in the war by dismissing the oc
currence with the simple statement that
the enemy" penetrated into the village
of Cantigny. Ever since the United
States declared state of war existing
between herself and Germany, the latter
has been going far out of the way in
order to make light of the significance of
that event; then when the American
troops took the field in actual conflict
the German official reports laid particu-
lar stress on the alleged fact that such a
number of Americans were taken prison
ers, that such number of American
aviators were brought down by the Ger
mans, that American doctors" were cap
tured along with prisoners of all the
other allied forces-in short, that Amer
leans were suffering terribly and were
uOlnB HOlHiHS III the wal, were proving
of no worth to their allies, The Berlin
war Office persistently ignored any ad
vantage which the American troops have
gained during the year of our nation
participation. Therefore, nothing differ
ent could have been expected from such
a mendacious factory as the Berlin war
Office when the Americans really did in
fict telling blow on the German pride
in arms, such as that at Cantigny when
not only was the village and outlying
trenches captured but also 200 German
soldiers were taken prisoners. The ref |
erence to the loss of the village to the !
enemy" is apparently studied effort
on the part of the war lords of Germany |
to keep from the German populace the
fact that the Americans have arrived in
force enough to make their influence felt. !
Information that a large force of we'll !
equipped Americans were on the firing
line would have very depressing effect
on the German people. Hence, the effort
to keep the German people cropping about
in ignorance.

In time of war women are as so

The women of the world today have
given to every battle front and to
lighting ships on every sea the men
who are fighting the battles, and they
do so periodically. although in doing
so it tears their very heartstrings. but
for the love of country they hide their
tears and subdue their sorrow.
Now, and in all wars, it is the WON

TARDY JUSTICE TO WOMEN

The editor OF this paper cannot re
member when he did not favor grant
ing the privilege of voting to women
When he first began to read and
was told that our greatest statesmen
jurists, divines, warriors and distin
guished men in all the walks Of life
ascribed their greatness to the teach
ings OF their mothers he could not un'
derstand, all those things being true
why these noble mothers could not
vote intelligently
He could never perceive any
strength in the argument because a
woman could not bear arms, because
she is unable to endure marches and
trench warfafe. that. perforce, she
should not be allowed to exercise the
right to vote.
In how many ways, may we ask,
are women helping to win the war?
Their hands are never idle. Men may
idle away their time. but women rare
ly ever do In the home, in Che
churches, at the picture shows, at so
cial functions, their nimble fingers are
rarely at rest.
