BUT ONE WAY.

There is but one governmental
agency, one national instrument,
through and by which the United
States can wage war for the
next two and a half years, and
that is the Administration which
was placed in power at the last
national election.
Any weakening of the infu-
ence and prestege of the Admin
istration is a weakening of the
political power and influence of
this nation with other nations
a weakening of our war power.
Our soldiers will fight as
bravely and efficiently, our sail
ors brave the dangers of the
summarized seas with the same
courage and success. But the
political and moral strength of
the nations government, its
power to bring peace won by our
fighting men, will be awakened
by the defeat of the party of the
Administration.
AS Roosevelt said in 1898,
other nations will look at our
votes this year from only one
viewpoint. They will draw no
fine distinctions. To Europe the
election of a Republican Con-
gress this year would mean a
divided nation, a refusal to en-
dorse and stand by the principles
President Wilson has poclaimed
as the principles of our nation
and the aims and purpose of our
country.

ON PAPER CONSERVATION.

The Eastern Gazette, of East
on, Md, is another of the nu-
merous county papers calling at
tention to the hardships of en-
forced paper conservation for
newspapers while government
departments waste tons of white
paper weekly. The Gazette in
an editorial states:
Under the ruling of the War
Industries Board the Gazette
must cut off it's free list and re-
duce its consumption of paper Is
per cent.
Had it not been for this ruling
the Gazette would have enlarged
this issue because of the press of
advertising matter. But we
must abide by the edict of the
government.
We are prohibited sending
copies to friends or relatives and
we cannot exchange with other
newspapers as formerly. Larger
newspapers will be forced to cur
tail the size of their publications.
We do not object in these war
times to doing anything to help
the government, but we believe
the government should do some
of the curtailing. 1t is sending
out reams of printed literature"
daily and our wastepaper bask-
cts cannot hold it all. This stuff
is utterly useless and in some
cases idiotic. Why not cut IT
out rather than curtail the out
put of the newspapers, which are
read by the people, and without
which the government could not
float it's Liberty Bond issue?
The governments demand up
on the press for free space is be-
coming greater and apparently
more necessary and we have
given freely columns that might
have been filled with local news
that would have made our paper
more entertaining.
The threats of shortage in pa
per have doubled and tripled the
prices and the press of the coun-
try is harder hit than any other
industry. Still we are expected
to give free space and curtail
where in a business way it would
be to greater advantage to ex-
pand.
However, we bow to the wis
dom of a Congress that inflicted
the postal zone system upon US
a system that was put out of
business by President Lincoln as
unjust and obsolete.

Armenians and other Christian
inhabitants of contiguous terri
tory, she has sunk millions OF
tons of shipping and destroyed
property worth billions, show
ing no regret for the lives OF
noncombatants and not even for
those of women and children. "
Upon the other side of the
ledger, the Staats-Zeitung makes
these entries: Germany has
sacrificed the lives and the health
and the well-being of millions
of her sons; she has lost her
African colonies and put upon
her people a burden of debt
under which they will groan for
decades to come; she has de-
stroyed her foreign commerce
and brought her peoples to want
and hunger; the acts of her
army commanders and states
men have brought the German
name into disrepute in America. -
It is a dreadful reckoning, not
without it's compensation in the
great change it has wrought in
the feeling and attitude toward
Germany of Americans of Ger
man birth or blood. Says the
Staats-Zeitung:
For a long time German
Americans were unable to see
the peril, and rude was their
awakening. Their sense Of duty
showed them the right course to
pursue. They point with pride
to their sons and grandsons
fighting for them under the
Star-Spangled Banner. And
they will fight on until every
danger is removed and the world
relieved of a burden which lies
upon it like an incubus, for it is
only through the overthrow of
the present German Government
that the repetition of a similar
world catastrophe can be pre-
vented"
It has been, indeed, a rude
awakening. Americans of the
parent stock, while striving with
patience and continually to con-
vince their countrymen of Ger
man lineage that Germany pro-
voked the war, intended to bring
on the war, that her guilt was
past all condoning, have never
theless understood how hard was
the position of those in other
lands who still look upon Ger
many as their Fatherland.
Their sympathies, even if wrong
ly directed, were natural. All
that is past. There could be no
sterner condemnation of the I'M
perial malefactors than that
which the Staats-Zeitung, a
German-language newspaper,
and read by German-Americans,
denounces against them.

LYON COUNTY SEEMS TO

Some weeks ago County Clerk
Chas. A. Mcleod received a most
threatening letter which he turn
ed over to the authorities. 1t
seems that in his official capacity
as a member of the County Draft
Board he has incurred the enmity
of some one. If the threat is car
ried out, Mr.. Mcleod and his fam
ily will meet dire fate. Howev-
er, he does not seem much alarm
ed as to that.
Now comes news of blackmail
letters being received by Mrs.
George Perry and family of Fern
ley. The infamous work has been
going on for some time but as yet
the culprit has not been appre-
hended.
