EDITORIAL NOTES.

Hindenburg says he must be loyal to the imperial German government and there is no reason 10 dispute what he says. He IS undoubtedly deaf to the voice of the people.
 Amidet all the other kinds of trou- bic October is furnishing weather with which very little fault can be found.
 Of course Germany could claim that if is evacuating occupied territory, but it is thoroughly understood that if is not taking such a step because it wants to.
 From the way in which they are be- ing driven there can be little wonder that the Germans are anxious to get several months time in which to evac- uate Belgium.
 When the Germans declare that the evacuation of Belgium wifi require several months they are not figuring on the help which they are getting from General Foch
 Austria still wants to know the conditions on which peace negotia- tions are possible. In other words it insists upon being told that it must i internationally surrender. The. man on the corner says: Those who are apt to complain about the small amount of sugar allowed are invariably the ones who leave some in the bottom of the cup.
 Think of Germany talking about i honor and justice when the kaiser has said that there'n be no peace except peace by the sword. and talking about the mailed fist being the only answer
 The wonder now is that the kai- ] ser is not proclaiming as the result of the appeal for an armistice anu peace negotiations that ne is doing everything possible to end this terri. 1 ble war.
 Those 15,0oo German troops wh have been pushed across the Dutcl border into Holland will be out o the fighting ranks without the ex. pense of maintaining them falling or | the allies.
 When the Germans on retiring iron l Douai wrecked the interior of the city hall and scattered about the archives they were of course accomplishing { valuable and necessary mihtar. achievement
 | There are apparently a great man. in Germany who would take greate delight: in thrusting swords into Hin denburg for his peace advocacy thaI they ever did in driving nails into hi l wooden statue.
 From the way in which the allie are Dlunging into the enemy lines, i doesn't look as if they were dependin; upon negotiations to bring abou peace They are doing their best fo unconditional surrender.

MAINTAINING THE NAVY.

Because of the manner in which ships have been requisitioned, because 1f tho number of sailors wEo are abroad and because of the intima ton rom time 10 time os the service which
 ne American vessels in the war are performing, it has been possible to .eel satisfied that this country has been doing no small bit on the high seas in connection with the great strusgle. For obvious reasons if has ,ot been prudent to go into details ro- carding all the work that has been done, so that it is only recently that we have been given & closer insight nto the scope of the activities which 1as including the laying of mine bar -ages. building pipe lines, establishing aviation bases. patrolling the barred zones, chasing submarines and aiding in the convoy service.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY.

A week from Saturday. Nov. ., has heen designated as Fire Prevention day and it is expected that it will get more or less recognition through out the country It has been fixed about a month later than last year for various reasons but it makes little difference when it comes so long as there is the proper amount of inter est awakened thereby.
 I. is not to be supposed that all the efforts of the people In the country in behalf of he prevention Of fires vii he made on that one day. Such would be folly. IL would be as unjust to eX- pect that as it would he to think that al The patriotism would be displayed on the Fourth of July. Fire Proven ton day. like many other days which are set aside for 9 special purpose. is intended to bring about a recognition Of the necessity. on the part of each and every one. of giving due considera- tion to the importance of creating conditions which will make it impos- sble for many of the fires to occur.
 When it is realized what the con ditionS are under which so great a de- struction is caused by fire every year, and how easy it is to prevent those conditions by giving to them a proper amount of careful attention. it can be appreciated that the effort is worth while. Fire Prevention day helps to bring about the placing of more thought upon the value of making

THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEM

 "But you talk as if face powder was as necessary as gunpoWder"
 And so it is, my dear Annabel eucidated. for this reason: The boys at the front must be cheerful in order 10 fight.

 The number of Americans who went into action on Friday with the British was comparatively very small. but their task abeunded with difficulties. The Somme. on which their right flank rested, separated them rom the Aus italians. while nothing but thick woods and ascending slopes, affordins the best possible protection and conceal ment for machine gunners, stood mcnacingly in front of them.
 At half past in the evening they i began their attack, five minutes roll ing barrage and some tanks preceding them. Despite the German machine guns, the Americans, following the bend of the Somme. which at tha' point turns sharply soutilward, pene- 1 trated the Malard wood and the quarry i at Les Celestins.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel young = to do this you must watch your liver and bowels - there's no need of having a saliow complexion - dark rings under your eyes - pimples = bilious look in your face - dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in- active bowels and liver. '.
 Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the subsi. tute for calomei, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clear. ing the system of impurities.

 Bombs. of an incredible size are now carried by American aircraft, and some idea of their destructive capacity may be gained by the fact that they cannot be dropped at a lower altitude than 5000, so greatly is the air disturbed by the explosion
 An amusing incident occurred when the first of these was dropped on en- emy territory, which is much harried by American bOmbers and consequent ly bristles with searchlights and anti aircraft batteries. So terrific was the explosion that every searchlight wenS out instantly, and the airrnan was de prived of the landmarks on which he han counted to find his way home,
 Americans in this squadron have had remarkable success. in two weeks they accounted fer 2S enemy machines, Y of which were crashed. and one bal loon. All are imbued with the idea of maintaining the offensive under all circumstances.
 Recently two of them finding them selves cut off by 20 of the enemy while returning to camp, refused to seek safety in flight.

iaries to take care of these and in creased duties. So that when the navy department asks for appropria- tions for s600, 1000 900 to cover new ships for period of three years it doesn't need a second thought to com prehend the fact that it means large amount of money but our naval needs cannot be neglected. It is as vital that we should give adequate support 10 our forces on the sea as we should look carefully after our fighting ma chine on land.
