AUSTRIA WILL FIGHT ON
Seydler Declares War Must Sc Con
tinued to Decision,

Amsterdam, July 1S.-Dr Won Seyd
Ter, the Austrian premier. delivered his
expected address in the lower house OF
the Austrian reichsrath TUESDAY, says
a Vienna telegram.
The prime minister. the MESA re
adds was received by the Czechs with
uproarious shouts and by the Germans
with loud applause.
Speaking on the situation in Austria
Hungary. Dr. Won Seydler said:
The internal propaganda methods of
our enemies are SO absurd that they
c-!y testify TO their profound ignorance
Of our conditions.
These arrows will rebound against
our unshaka BILE devotion to the dynasty.
the loyalty of our citizens to the state
and the firm internal cohesion of our
state within the framework, of the mon
archy. NAN-z
I'VE should look cheerfully into the
| future. In unity with our loyal allies
we shall be able to enforce the end of
| the world war
Our intimate community with them,
which we hope to strengthen and ex-
1 tend for the future, especially the old
and WE'LL proved alliance with the Ger
man empire, constitutes for u.s. as well
as for our allies, the best guarantees
| that we shall maintain for all time our
place among the stateslof the world
and be able to insure for our peoples
conditions of free and benefcient devel-
opment. @
But they are far from constituting
a menace to other states, and will
rather prove themselves to be useful
and effective link in shaping the future
peaceful relations Of the reconciled
! world"
| The occasion Of the speech was the
reassembling Of the lower house after
| a four months recess.
The house by a two-thirds major
! itv resolved Immediately to begin the
first reading Of the provisional budget
Jointly with the discussion or urgent
questions regarding various events o.
domestic and foreign policy, as well as
the food situation.
German newspapers give prominence
to an interesting statement on Belgium
by Prof. Hans Delbrueck in the Neues
Weiner Journal. The statement reads:
Germany now will lose nothing by
declaring her readiness to .evacuate
Belgium without conditions and to re-
instate her in independence and integ-
rity Germany has plenty Of other
safeguards. Belgium is not only Ger
man question: it is a world question.
"No peace Is possible In the world
unless Belgium is as free as before the
| war. Even America has the greatest
interest IN Belgium. Until Belgium be-
comes free the world can not accer!
even the indirect rule Of Germany over
| her"

Nay Wear Decorations.

Washington, July 18.-Under a pro-
vision incorporated in the army appro-
priation bill and approved by the presi-
dent, officers and enlisted men of the
American army are authorized to ac-
cept and wear decorations conferrd by
allied governments. This provision was
designed particularly to permit the
many officers and men given crosses of
war or other prizes for gallantry at the
front to wear their decorations.
The elevation Of Generals Pershing
and Bliss to the knighthood of England
is concrete evidence Of the recognition

rain Of Yesterday when nearly an inch

$50 a. m. and p. m, practically all
of it being drank in by the thirsty
earth. IS believed will practically IN
sure the biggest corn crop southwest
ern Iowa has ever raised. The rain
came in time of need. Pastures are
so short that many farmers have been
compelled to market their surplus stock
and while the wheat and oats harvest
is over. the small grain crop was good
in quality but cut short by the dry
weather and ripened ahead Of time.
The corn crop is far ahead Of any year
in the past fifteen years Garden truck
has been extremely short but late
potatoes will be benefited and
vegetables will soon again be on the
market. The fruit crop Is short and
prices are beyond the reach of but a

planes is of two kinds-the slaughter
they inflict, and secondly, the disOr-
ganization they cause. This second
factor is of more Importance than most
people realize. An unexpected check
TO troops on march is always trouble
some. Men wonder what has happened.
Suddenly bombs begin to fall men arc
killed horses stampede, wagons are
smashed and the road blocked Until
the allied airplanes are seen the terror
is mysterious. When they are seen,
with the irresistible implication that
the German planes have failed to drive
them off, the psychological effect Is
very severe.
Reluctant Tribute to British.
The work OF the British airmen re-
ceived reluctant tribute in a recent
issue of the Berlin Vorwaerts, which
was captured in raid on the German
trenches. The German newspaper, in
an article full OF apparently sincere
admiration for British flyers, said:
Never before have the English thrown
their tairmen in such great masses be-
hind our front as they are doing in
their present retreat"
But the higher command of the
British air force Is by no means sat
isfied. A high official pointed out to
the Associated Press correspondent in
discussing this phase of airwork that
never before was the need Of the air
force for trained men and finished ma
terial SO urgent as 1t is today" He
added. TT has been said loosely that
the allies are masters OF the air and
have. achieved supremacy in flying But
the aerial situation is too fluid to Jus
tify such words. AS a cold fact, COM
plete mastery Of the air could only
come If there were no German ma
chimes able to take the air.
Allies Claim Superiority.
Superiority is another matter and
it is true that at the moment this may
be claimed by the allies. For example,
the British record OF bombs dropped
in April shows IL to against the Ger
mans. The present superiority can be
maintained and must be maintained,
not only on general grounds. but par
ticularly for the development OF the
new tactics Of the low-fyng airplane.
What Is needed Is more machines
and more trained men and 1t is the
people, the men and women Of the
allied countries, who in the last analy-
sis must give or withhold effective su-
periOrity in the air"

ONE OF THE MANY WAR LESSONS

We are learning many lessons from the war, among which is the lesson that government owned public utilities; government regulation in evel ything is very annoying when it hits our own pocket; and advocates of this rorm of gov ernment are waking up. The most ardent advo- cates heretofore have been labor This is chang ing now and the reverse is noticeable.
 Take the fishing industry for one instance Before the war, fishermen hoped for govern ment regulation while capital opposed it. To- day the fishermen are finding fault because the government is regulating the prices and capital i5 satisfied because it is safe from total destruc- ton by strikes and other troubles The govern n1ent tells the fishermen not only that they must accept the prices fixed but they must continue to fish, otherwise their licenses shall be revoked and they shall be considered slackers When the government takes control of public utility, the people have to do what they are told to do and that whether they like it not, at the same time competition, the life of trade is killed.
 Tn California a few days ago. fisherman strike occurred Immediately, the government stepped in and told the strikers that unless they returned to work their licenses would be taken aW2y from them for the period of the war; Result--they are fishing today. Government owned public utilities and government regulation Of everything may be alright, but we can't see

When the house. wives protested against such action, the grocers save as their reason that the State Council of Defense had advised them to do 70.
 The reroutionists refused to believe and in- vestigated They considered the excuse given by the grocers that they were saving man power was too shallow. They pointed out that boys were making the deliveries etc., but it availed them nothing, the free deliveries were curtailed The State Council repudiated the grocers' state ment, but on the contrary advised against it.
 There we witness tradesmen under the guise of patriotism exacting little more profit from the consumer. In our opinion, the housewives
