Take Winne.hiek County d a Sample.

: The following editorial is taken from
the Des Moines Capital, of Aug. 3lst:
"Winneshiek is one of the finest
counties in Iowa. A large proportion
of the population is composed of Nor
weigans. They are industrious and &C.
tive. 1t is not charged that they are
disloyal.
'But they are politicians. The Nor
wegians of Winneshiek are determined
to preserve the Norwegian language.
As result there is more Norwegian
spoken in Winneihiek county than at
any time during fifty years.
''In Winneshiek county if you are in
politics, and expect to stay in you must
be Norwegian.
1.-THE Norwegians of Winneshiek
county occupy the following offices:
Treasurer, auditor, sheriff, two
members of the board of supervisors,
state senator, county attorney and
member of congress. After Jan. lst.;
there will be three Norwegian super
visors and the county recorder. AS a
rule Winneshiek county has been rep,
resented in the legislature by a Nor
wegian. s....
''The postmaster at Decorah is a
Norwegian and has gone to the service
of his country in the army. The post
master is in favor of the American
language above all others.
"What chance would a boy born in
America of American parentage have
in Winneshiek county?
"The Norwegians are good politicians.
They know that just so long as they
can perpetuate their language and keep
up their groups, no other nationality
need apply.
Z IF Americanization had done its
work properly the Norwegians would
not be in control Of everything in Win
neshiek. If the melting pot had melt
ed, Winneshiek county would not be
filled with Norwegian newspapers and
Norwegian ministers.
Gilbert N. Haugen is kept in con-
Rress from the Fourth district because
he is q Norwegian. His home is in
Worth county and when he is candi-
date for congress in the republican par
ty, he receives the solid Ne<Vegian
vote.
.ssyve sey that these foreign groups
should not exist. They interfere with
the unity Of the republic. Ninty per
cent of the discordin America is caused
by these foreign groups in the various
cities and states of the union.
''If we desire to make this republic q
success we must get together. The
American language predominates and
we should get together on that Ian
guage. The American congress for
sixty years refused to admit New
Mexico as state because all the yeo-
pie of New Mexico spoke Spanish.
When the territory of New Mexico con-
sented to Americanize herself she was
admitted to the union and not until
then. .-5.
''If this policy was right in New
Mexico, why is it not right in all parts
of the United States? "
eff the American people will keep
their courage and stand together at
the present time the foreign settle
ments can be compelled to blend with
the other people,

PERSON WHO CASHES
IN ". s. s. WORST
KIND OF STACKER

TOO severe condemnation cannot
be made of these selfish citizens who.
after making a great show of buying
thrift stamps and war savings stamps,
turn right around and have them
cashed again." stated Postmaster
Beck Tuesday. Many persons who
are not in need OF the money have
been cashing their stamps at the
postoffice, and the postmaster be-
lieves that protest should be made.
One Richmond business firm, the
postmaster said, took out $4,000 in
stamps one week with great ostenta-
ton, and the next week privately
turned around and cashed them all.
The following is an excerpt from one
Of the postal magazines, sent out re-
Gently:
"The man who converts his War
Savings stamps into cash when he can
afford to carry them during the five
year period is the worst kind of
Stacker He should be in Germany,
fighting for the Kaiser. Postoffice sta
tistics are showing that it is not the
widows who have sons in France or
persons who have suffered illness or
financial misfortunes who are cashing
in their War Savings stamps, but men
who purchased War Savings stamps
merely for show or to gain patriotic
publicity. Such men think they can
secretly sneak around to the postof-
fee, get the money which they have
invested in stamps and use it for some
other purpose or pleasure without the
public knowing abou it. In reality
such a person is worse than an open
enemy. He is willing to stab Uncle
Sam in the back in the dark, while
he supports him openly in the light.
It has been suggested that postoffices
keep a record of all persons cashing
in their War Savings Certificates. that
the public may know who are not
true American citizens"

u. s. PEACE PROGRAM
IS APPROVED BY
HUNGARIAN PARTY

BASEL, Monday, Sept. 9.-President
Wilson's program for the negotiations
for peace are endorsed by Count Mich
ael Karolyi, president of the Hungar-
ian Independent party. A dispatch
from Budapest quoting from an open
letter written by Count Karolyi to his
electors to whom he recommends an
early peace, says:
"A decisive military victory, despite
its successes, is a dream for which 1t
is useless to pursue. The prime condi-
ton of peace negotiations is the de-
mocratization of nations and the aban-
donment of imperialistic theories. A
second condition is that we should not
become slaves to the idea of a mid
die Europe, either military. economi-
cally or politically, and that we should
not strengthen our alliance with Ger
many which would form the first step
toward the realization of this centra!
Europe.
I'VE ought to accept as basis for
negotiations, President Wilson's pro-
gram"

GASOLINE PRICE
MAY Be LOWER
GARFIELD SAYS
Awaiting Further Reports Be-
fore Taking Definite Action,
States Fuel Head.

WASHINGTON. Sept 1o-Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield announced today
that he expects soon to fix price for
gasoline for domestic consumers, as
well as the government and the allies,
at q figure lower than the present
market price. He is awaiting further
reports on the situation before taking
definite action.
No intimation was made as to what
the fixed price will be.
DR.. Garfield's announcement dis
closed that for some time considera-
ton has been given the problem of
bringing the price of gasoline to
lower level Several reports already
have been made to Mark L. Requa,
director OF the Oil Division OF the fuel
administration, and it was intimated
that upon completion of the investiga-
ton now being conducted immediate
action would be taken.
The disclosure of DR.. Garfield's pur-
pose came during an informal talk
with newspaper correspondents in
which the stocks of gasoline in the
country and the stated shortage east
of the Mississippi river, which caused
the administration to request that no
passenger automobiles be operated on
Sundays In that section, were dis
cussed.
DR.. Garfield would not discuss re-
ports that this request was based on
information furnished the administra-
ton by the oil industry for the alleged
purpose of maintaining the present
price of gasoline in the face of re-
ported large supply in the country.
The senate today displayed its in
terest in the autoless Sunday request
by adopting a resolution offered by
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, ask
ing the administration for information
as to the country's production, con-
sumption and expectation OF gasoline.
with separate figures on the amount
used by passenger cars.

Baker Praises Men
of Torpedoed Ship
for Fine Morale

PARIS, Monday. Sept 9. - The
American transport Mt. Vernon, for
merly the German steamship Kron-
prinzessin Cecelie, which, though tor.
pedoed by German submarine last
Thursday of the coast Of France. was
able to make port, was carrying sick
and wounded soldiers back to the Unit
ed States.
Senator James H. Lewis, of Chica-
go, who was among the passengers, all
of whom were say ed, is suffering from
a chill resulting from exposure while
carrying wounded men from their
hunks. Thirty-fve engine-room hands
lost their lives when the torpedo
struck the vessel.
The officers and crew OF the Mt.
Vernon showed perfect discipline and
efficiency. Most of the seamen were
young and for many it was their first
trip, but they acted like old hands.
In short space of time they had all
the bulkheads closed and the steam
cocks shut off. Sometimes they were
compelled to swim through rising wa
ter in order to get at the valves.
WASHINGTON. Sept 10. - Warm
congratulations to the navy upon the
conduct of the crew Of the transort
Mt Vernon, which returned safely to
a French port after being torpedoed
200 miles at sea, came to Secretary
Daniels today by cable from Secretary
Baker, whose arrival in France was
announced Monday night by the War
Department
Secretary Bakers message said:
Il have just visited and viewed the
Mt Vernon. The high-spirited morale
OF its men and the masterful seaman
ship Of its captain and officers makes
such a stirring story of heroism that
l wish all the nation might know the
splendid way in which that huge
transport met and foiled the attempt
to destroy it at sea. The traditions Of
your service are enriched by the con.
duct in this emergency"
Captain Douglas E. Dismukes, U. S.
~, commands the Mt. Vernon.

TODAY'S MATCH
MAY BE LAST OF
WORLD SERIES
New ngland Fans Expect Bos-
ton to Clean up Series With
out Delay.

BOSTON, Sept. 10.-Cheerful con-
fidence prevailed, today in the camp
of the Red Sox followers as they pre-
pared to watch what they firmly be-
world series between the Boston
Americans and the Chicago Nationals.
Yesterdays thrilling contest placed
and the loyal New England fans ex-
pected the team to clean up the series
without unnecessary delay.
Among the Chicago players, how
ever. there was no thought that the
series would end today. The cubs
have lost none Of their fighting spirit.
The Red Sox although naturally. elat-
ed over their success thus far, kept in
mind world series when the Boston
American league chamions found
themselves in exactly the same posi-
tion as was Chicago today and yet won
the title, in 1913. The Pittsburgh Ma
tionals won three of their first four
games aud then Boston went in and
took four straight, five games being
required to decide the series in that
year.
JoHeS IN 0oN Tor 6ootoHs
Manager Barrow planned to start
Jones in the box for Boston today,
holding Mays in reserve. Manager
Mitchell's decision as to the Chicago
pitcher was still held In allegiance
early in the day. It was figured by
the fans that he would not be likely
to send in any Of the men who had
participated in the previous games,
and their best guess was that the Red
Sox would be called upon to face Hen
dirk. right handler.
In the whole series up to today, a
right handler has appeared for Chi
cago in only one inning. That was
the eighth Of yesterdays game when
Douglass relieved Tyler. The Red
Sox scored the winning run in that
inning on a hit and Douglas wild
throw to first. and Douglass had to
bear the stigma of losing the game.
The weather was ideal for this af-
ternoon's clash. Although there was
an autumn chill in the air this morn
ing, the bright sunshine babe fair to
bring back summerlike conditions
later in the day.

u. S. Soldiers Show
Fondness for Pickles

fondness for pickles was made known
today by the war department, which
announced that while 100000 gallons
are required for shipment overseas,
it had received bids for less than

Red Cross Notes

September's quota for the surgical
dressing department of the Red Cross
has just been received and all work
ers and especially all cutters are urg-
ed to come to work at once. There
are no pads In this quota, the entire
call being for gauze work, and since
the small congresses and rolls do not
make as great showing as the larger
pads. and also since the quota is al
most week late In coming, as many
women as possible are asked to come
Fountain City turned in at headquar-
tiers last week the last pair of the 100
pairs of it's quota These have all
been knit in the last two months.
Compliance with requests for spe-
cial gifts to soldiers has proved i'm
practicable. and since many disap-
pointments and misunderstanding
are caused by over-anxious parents,
DR.. L. F. Ross who Is chairman Of the
Wayne county chapter Of the Red
Cross has given the following state
ment to the press, for the benefit of
the many who have members Of their
family overseas.
Because of conditions which inter.
fere with the carrying out of the de-
sire, it is urged that persons in the
states desist from asking that partic-
ular articles be sent to specific SOL
diers in service abroad.
In letter received at the Washing
ton headquarters on this subject the
fact is emphasized that the Red Cross
does not desire to avoid any RESPONSE
bility whatever In looking after the
welfare of the American soldiers. But
lit is pointed out that it would be use
less and impracticable to attempt to
comply with requests of the kind
mentioned. and great deal of annoy
ance and possibly disappointment
would be prevented by thorough un-
!derstanding Of the situation on the
part of the people.at home. 1t is earn
estly desired that parents desist from
such appeals They may rest assured
that the Red Cross in it's own sys-
tematic way. is doing everything jmag-
Unable OF the practical sort to supply
the wants of the soldiers.
Red Cross workers who are not able
to come to the rooms during the day
are urged to work Tuesday and Thurs
day evenings. since the rooms will be
| opened again from now on until fur
ther notice. The building will be open
ed on those evenings at o'clock
