INITIALS SOUNDED
 LIKE ENEMY'S CODE

The wife of a certain lieutenant commander was anxious on her hus- bands account, because his duties al though mainly carried out on Shore, sometimes took him to sea in a traW- Ter through mined waters.
 Not having heard from him for sev- eral days, the lady at last sent him a telegram, addressed to the base where he was stationed. As it happened her husband returned from sea just in time to receive the message when it arrived, so he answered it on the spot, and. being hungry, wet and begrfmed, made this reply as short as possible.

 In course of transmission to London , these letters were passed as OKLM and the hawklke eye of authority read sinister meaning into the message.
 Here was q secret code passing be- tween the east coast and London, S.W An official was dispatched to the southwestern district in order 10 spy out the house mentioned in the ad- dress of the telegram. and afterwards to render a report as to what manner of building it appeared to be. Now, as it happened that the street in ques- tisn was one of those cratic London ! byways which meander about anyhow and appear to have been numbered ac- cording to fancy. This mystified the l Investigating official. who rCkurned and reported that there was no such l house as the number quoted. This only 1 deepened the mystery, but did not de- 1 feat the powers that be. Rolled in ! London. they tapped the other end of the problem. and a few days later the senior naval officer at Easthaven re- ! ceived an official communication in- structing him to investigate the mat l ter.
 Then it was that the true tale of crime was told, to the unboundel mer- riment of all connected with the naval base at Easthaven.

skim milk, from which it is made. has generally been considered as quite useless. Skim milk is water and ca sein. The water we may discard, but to throw away the casein is like throwing away bread.

that it's discreditable past has about been forgotten. Its original name has been Americanized to smearcase, and though hint of the old title has re- mained in the sobriquet Dutch cheese, even that is passing out of use, and for some years it has been customary nearly everywhere to designate this skim milk product as cottage cheese, which degermanizes it completely.
 The food value of cottage cheese is

 So it is obvious that in using cot tage cheese we should not toy with small dabs of it as a sort of garnish to the rest Of the meal. but should de vour it wholeheartedly and lavishly. making it the principal dish.

is AMERICA DRIFTING.

We are so concerned with our personal affairs
with our personal undertakings, and with our
immediate interest that are letting America
drift. We give the feeblest possible support
to the able and Conscientious who, here and
there in the executive departments and in the
national legislature, doing their best to bear
the heavy burden which has been put upon them.
When such is sent to Washington we
leave him alone to fight battles and his as
best he can and to face unaided forces of stag
nation, routine and selfishness. Once every four
years we arouse from our lethargy for few
weeks, and give more or less emotional express
sion to aspirations and convictions but
when once the presidential election is over we
return to our several ploughs and America drifts
again. What is every body's business is nobo-
dy's business. Until every American feels his
personal responsibility for the formulation of
definite public policy at home and abroad, and
for the business like administration of public
affairs America will continue to drift, and the
rest of the world will continue to treat her as
the spoiled child of the goddess of good fortune.

Ter of Columbia University.

man in doing all work we'll the work
of civil life, it is fitting and proper that she be
admitted to the equal right of expressing her
citizenship through the vote Women are not
asking favor of you; they are simply asking
that justice be shown them; that they be given
the privilege of voting leaving it alone-the
right me1 have exercised throughout hist
DRY. Great Britain Canada, Denmark and France
have recognized that their women have won this
right through the splendid work of the past few
years. Are Americans less just!

Do you know the man who refuses to aid the
Red Cross, and who will not lend money to the
Government when he is able to do so? He is
not friend of the United States, thus pro-
German.
Do you know the man who will not try to in

on loyalty, nor read newspapers or magazines
which contains articles loyalty? He is ig-
noraat simply because he refuses to learn.
Do you know the passive" man who "keeps

who deserves to have no country. He is leach
who stands back and thrives the benefits the
land Offers at the cost of the men in the trench

There are other species of the pro- German rep
tile, and the time is not far distant when the

that the intolerable wretches will creep on their

THE RED CROSS is OFFICIAL.

| correspondent in Virginia reported to the
committee on public information a current ru-
NOR that "o1ly ten per cent of the money col
lected by the Red Cross goes to the relief and
benefit of the persons for whom subscriptions
are taken"
The committee on public information took the
occasion to publish the fact about the Red Cross
and for the benefit of those who may wish to
counter the work of the German propagandists
who spread such rumors it is worth while to re-
peat those facts here.
Doubtless the impression that because sub
scriptions to the Red Cross are voluntary the
society is private charitable association is wild
er than it ought to be- But it is wrong i'm
preston.
The Red Cross is the governments agency for
war relief. The president of the United States
is president of the Red Cross. The secretary
of the treasury is it's treasurer. The secretary
of state, the surgeon of the navy, the comptrol-
Ter of the currency and the solicitor general of
the United States among it's officers.
The Red Cross reports to congress and it's
accounts are audited by the war department. In
short, the Red Cross is the governments agency
for war relief. The only change that could make
it more completely government agency would
be for congress to appropriate the money it uses
and let the people pay it il taxes instead of
by voluntary contributions. But that would be
to rob the people of the of benevolent part
cipation in the noble work of the Red Cross that
has done so much to stiffen the purpose and
large the soul of the American people
Says the committee public information: cit
would be impossible for the Red Cross to misuse
the money it collects as it would be for the war
department itself to devote only ten per cent
of it's funds for the relief of the army. All 'hese
stories of waste and extravaganza in the manage
ment of the Red Cross are pro-German ISLANDERS
designed to discourage loyal citizens in supper
ting necessary war york."-Duluth Herald.

NUMBERS-AND EXODUS

! TN the week preceding the German offensive
| of middle July, between Chateau-Thierry and
the Argonne, the number of American sci
diers il France was 100000, according to the
chief of staff at Washington Our troops have
been pouring into France at the rate of quar-
ter million and more month. This means
that on the fourth anniversary of the beginning
of the battle of the Marine (Sepember s. the Am
erican army abroad will be 16000 900 strong At
about the same time that our strength was 1,100,-
900 it authoritatively stated that the British
army numbered 1000, 900 men, By early Sep
TENDER it will undoubtedly be 2,2gO,OOO strong.
The French now hold three times the British
front at the least. Give the French two millions
Add quarter of a million for Belgians Italians,
Portuguese, Polish and Czech-Slovak DICTIONARIES,
and we have, four years after Joffre turned the
Kaiser back from Paris, an Allied strength of
100000 men pledged and determined to keep
the Kaisers acquaintance with Paris entirely one
of book knowledge.
Against this army, three times as strong as
the one that Joffre worked with, the Kaiser will
have hardly more than twice the army with which
he set out his two weeks excursion to Paris
four years ago. That is the central fact around
which the allied strategy of the last five months
will have centered.
1t is not il the hope of taking Paris that the
German blows have been delivered since March
Fl. It is not in the hope of reducing the Allied
line to brittle condition where one final blow
would settle matters that the Lude1dorff cam
paign has been conducted German hopes are
not based on Allied defeat, but on Allied weari-
ness. The peace the Junkers hope for is to
come when France acts, not out of fear of dis
aster, but out of the decision that perhaps it is
not worth while after all to undergo the strain
of another two years of war to redress the sit
uatio1 on what used to be eastern front. Rea-
son alone says that Germany has won. But a
nation which has suffered during four years as
France has suffered may be conceived-by the
Junker mind as leaving the possibilities of
twenty-five years hence to take care of them
selves if to-day peace is to be had with French
territory intact, Belgium restored Serbia pro-
vided for. That is the significance of Hertling's
screwing himself up to utter the word which Ger
man statesmen have been unable to pronounce:
Belgium. eve have no intentions to keep Bel
GUM; we hold it only as pawn" In other
words: "Say you will be reasonable with re-
gard to Russia, and there is peace"
What the Allied answer will be is plain to
anyone but Berlin. On the fourth anniversary
of the Battle of the Marine we may see the Allies
settling down in earnest to restore the Russian
'front.' Golfers Weekly, August 10th.

THE SAD LITTLE BOY

Be sorry for the little boy
Whose folks are very rich;
He cannot scramble in the mud,
Or tumble in the ditch.
He cannot dine on angle worms
And wallow in the dirt
He cannot take his stockings off
Or 60 without shirt.
He must be proper at his meals,
His clothes kept neat aid trim,
His grammar must be excellent,
His curls be cute and trim.
He cannot grab a hunk of pie
And streak his gentle ears,
For if he did his dear mamma
Would turn to fits and tears.
It must be very sad for him
To watch the common boys
Yaak off their democratic fun,
And bust vat of noise.
How dull would be the nursery
Where he must read his books
While other kids go romping off
With bull frogs in the brooks.
o night must settle over him
In one great sob of woe
There is no burdock in his hair
No bee-sting on his toe.

SMALL TOWN TALK

We knew it would happen; that Gazette readers
would inquire as to the why of the name we
have chosen to place at the head of this column.
One of them asked only yesterday, "Why have
YOU labeled that column SMALL TOWN TALK?
It's all right only am wondering if you are cri-
ticising the size of this tow1-or had some other
reason for picking out that particular name.'
We are perfectly willing to explain although we
do just naturally hate being questioned about
the why we do things. The name has nothing
whatever to do with the population of. Redwood
Falls-although we never have claimed that this
little old home town was crowdi1g Chicago very
hard for her place in the ranks of American cities.
Vut you know how it is in small tow1s-they
land that '.they" includes the men quite much
as the women) talk about everything under the
sun; they start with comment on how many
years the minister's wife has worn her bonnet
and how msbehaved the EDITORS children are,
and go straight through all the topics to why
Roosevelt was not permitted to go to France
and how stingy the richest man in town was about
buying Liberty Bonds.
In between they talk about every hing-abso-
lutely everything-and realizing what splendid
range that title would give US, we decided to
use it. We have many things to say about many
other things and this column seems like nigh
ty good safety valve. If you find anything in
it that hits you that will be because of you and
not of We might just as easily have called
