Clearing the WAY for Suffrage.

President Wilson's appeal to the senator's that
they dispose of the pending suffrage amendment
by adopting it as war measure will probably
clear the way for that long blockaded proposal.
Opposition to it has been encountered chiefly
among the democrats from the southern states.
Republicans are pledged to let the states pass
on equal suffrage, and it was only because of the
overwhelming vote given the amendment by re-
publicans in the house that it was adopted there.
Mr.. Wilson's argument that it should be passed
as war measure will aid the recalctrant and
reactionary democrats to so save their con-
sciences that they can perform this belated duty,
which the republicans have supported as an act
of justice, in order to support their pretense of
backing up the president. The main point is
that it will give the women what they have
asked for fifty years, and remove one great
cause of discord from public life.

Don't ask him to wrap up small purchases. Have

wrapping or take it home with you.

The War Industries Board has declared that we
must all save paper; that the production is only
about 50 per cent of the requirements for swar
industries; that we must stop using many grades
of paper in order that paper-makng machines

OUR BIG JOB STILL AHEAD.

Bulgaria has accepted terms tor an armistice
as dictated by the Entente, which undoubtedly
means that separate peace with that country
will be similarly concluded. 1t will be on a
basis OF unconditional surrender but we may
reasonably assume it will contain nothing of the
barbarous exactions or diplomatic deception
practiced at Brest-Ltovsk, or the savage terms
forced down Roumanias throat by the Huns.
Justice will be the foundation, and not revenge.
Turkey must soon follow Bulgaria. With
the road to Germany blockaded, supplies cut off
and armies almost exhausted, the sultan cannot
hope to hold out much longer in an unequal
struggle. This naturally leads up to Austria as
the next weakest member of the quartet, still
capable of much resistance, and bound to Ger
many so closely as to practically destroy any
independence of action in matters of negotiation.
While affairs have thus turned definitely in
favor OF the Allies, it is quite plain that the big
end of the job is still ahead. Germany must
be conquered Detection OF the useless ele-
ments of the combination will not end the fight
ing ability of the kaiser, and he may be de-
pended upon to resist to the utmost. 1t be-
hooves our people, therefore, not to relax in
effort nor to waste time in talking peace until
our boys have reached Berlin. Only when
Prussian militarism is PROSTATE, when its power
for harm is finally and absolutely broken, will
the world be ready for peace.
Victory on the southern front is being sup
ported by steady gains on the western. The
armies of right are slowly pounding down the
strength of the Hun. Stand fast now, and give
the boys the support they need, both moral and
material

Hun Crime and Punishment

Prince Bismarck having drunk much beer
and brandy on one occasion, made the wise and
illuminating remark:
Revenge is a decacy that must be eaten
cold"
1t would be we'll if all the allies, as custodans
of the future of the world, pasted that piece of
advice in their hats for future reference. Our
danger is not that we may lose the WARRIOR we
are winning hands down-but that we may not
be deliberate enough in fitting the punishment
to the crime.
The Hohenzollern must go and the Haps-
burger must go. President Wilson has insisted
that we cannot trust the first; the case of Italy
proves that we cannot trust the second.
The meay-mouthed advocates of peace by
talk hate the thought of revenge, In the case
of the middle empires Justice" and revenge"
are convertible terms. Nearly every family in
France has lost man. The British have buried
100000 soldiers of their own. Our losses are
growing with the worst yet to come.
A more terrible a more disastrous crime
than that of starting the war would be that Of
the statesmen who, by bringing about a bad
peace, should cause these men to have bled and
agonized and died in vain.-New York Herald.

Germany's Counterfeit Indignation.

The imperial German government has for
mally threatened the United States with re-
prisals, unless the shotgun is abandoned as a
weapon by our army. What guffaw must
have resounded through Valhalla when the
shades of all the dead and gone Huns got this
news!
Remember that the first bomb ever dropped
from an airship in war was dropped by Ger
man on hospital at Antwerp.
The first passenger steamer ever sunk with
out warning by submarine was the Lustania
and she was flying the American flag.
Edith Cavell was executed, and after her
death the military governor of Belgium issued
an edict to make her act crime
Germany first employed poison gas in war
fare.
Countless deliberate attacks have been made
on Red Cross hospitals back OF the line.
1t was German soldiers who deliberately cut
the throat of the first American boy to die in
this war, as he lay wounded in No Mans Land
1t was Germany that armed its soldiers with
spiked clubs to crush the heads of wounded
men, and thousands have been so slain.
All these things were done in direct violation
OF the rules of civilized warfare as formulated
at The Hague and elsewhere in agreement be-
tween the great powers of the world
Keep this in mind, and then you will under
stand how spurious is the pretense of Germany's
indignation at the shotgun.

Health Hints
Measles.

Measles.
It Is most unfortunate that
measles is usually considered a
trivial disease. That this is not the
case Is shown by the fact that 10000
out Of $50. 900 inhabitants of the Fiji
Islands died from measles when the
disease was unfortunately introduced
from British man of-war. The ex-
periences of the last winter show
that the mortality is well above 10
per cent, even in the United states.
Measles is of great Importance to
us because 1t exists at present upon
the Station and in all probability
will increase during the present
month, due to the large number of
recruits now being received. Measles
is also of Importance due to the fact
that very few people have any nat
ural resistance to the disease, and il
exposed will, almost without excep-
ton, contract the disease.
The first symptoms of measles are
very much like those of ordinary
cold-sneezing. running at the nose,
soreness of the eyes, and a cough.
1t is during this stage and before
Tie Sl uHtiuIt bltuhS oul thetl NV
danger of spreading the contagion Is
greatest The cOntagion Is spread by
the material discharged from the
nose and eyes and the fine spray
thrown out by coughing. and for this
reason 1t is of great Importance that
the men should sleep behind the
health screens and thus prevent re-
ceiving the infection or transmitting
1t to others.
A man in this stage Of the disease
who attends the Young Mems Chris
tan association, public gatherings
and moving picture shows is great
source Of danger to his shipmates
and 1t is Of the greatest Importance
that all men suffering with the
symptoms Of cold in the head and
eyes should report Immediately to
the doctor for examination.
