IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Davenport Times: When q night pa
troll Of Yankees goes out on raid
upon the Boches they not only catch
EN- alive, but they catch EN- asleep
sometimes. The other night on the
Lorraine front patrol captured five
Germans who were too sleepy to get
up and fight.
Mason City Globe-Gazette: 1T takes
two 10 make a peace" walls Kaiser
Wilhelm. Wrong as usual It takes
only one-and we're the one Just
watch US make an American peace.
Perry Chief: There may have been
some parts of socialism that was all
right, but Mr. Debs was not one of the
parts.
Alton Democrat: After Chateau
Thierry and St Mihiel, Ludendorff
will begin to realize that even "un-
trained Americans" know something
about fighting.
Iowa Falls Citizen: Summarizing a
ship with 800 women and children on
it and asking for peace at the same
time do not harmonic very well
There viii have TO be Unconditional
surrender OF the house of Hohenzol-
lerns and also of q once boisterous
bunch of war lords
Burlington Hawk-Eye. We do not
call to mind any election campaign
in which the returns came in sooner
than the Austrian peace campaign.
Even the back counties heard from
before Emperor Carl went to bed.
Traer Star-Clipper: In British CO.
lumbia the people recently elected a
returned soldier to the legislature by
an overwhelming majority. When our
boys come marching home they win
be elected TO almost any kind of office
for which they are qualified. From the
entire list of returned soldiers there
will be plenty OF men well qualified
for the various offices. and the man
who didn't go to the front is going to
have hard time making a campaign
against any of these for either nomina-
ton or election.

The principals of the Attacks, Gar

tered into a very sensible agreement
to simplify seventh grade graduating
exercises. No flowers or presents are
to be given to pupils while upon the

quantity Of such tokens by no means
indicates the merits of the pupil and
is frequently embarrassing to chill

Prin. Joe E. Herriford's article "Our

ject Of much favorable comment
among the thinking people of this and

the better. Her little innocent night

STELLA MAYHEM Is
DONE WITH GINGHAM

Stella Mayhew has come back TO
vaudeville as single" This is be-
cause her husband and former aSSo-
ciate in musical comedy and Vaude-
VILE. Bilee Taylor, is doing his bit
in the National Army. and was given
a commission as iirSI lleItcnaEt at
Plattsburg. At first Miss Ma%h,w de
cided TO remain at her home in New
Rochelle, but she has been persuaded
to re-entu- vaudeN iilc, and is coming
to keith'S Theatre next Week with
repertoire OF her newest songs.
Miss Mayhem still sings coon songs
for it is in the delivery Of Syncopated
melodies that she is heard at her best,
but she no longer sacrifices her per
sonal appearance to a single branch Of
her art and no longer does she wear
character clothes in preference to
frankly pretty ones She now feels
that neither giughan! nor burnt cork
IL nee Gsa ~ intensity the atmosphere
Of her soLg portraits.

Vaudeville Scales
Lofty PinnaCles

THE impromptu vaudeville offerings
L which preceded the drama proved
highly stimulating with the high lights
particularly focused on George Cohan
who sang over There with refreshing
spontaneity; Jimmy Powers" with his
quaint NO You Wouldn't" and Julia
Arthur. whose defamation of the death
less Battle Hymn Of the Republic
thrilled the audience more than anything
else in the entire variegated bill All in
all, il was an Unprecedented variety
show" When comes such another"
Mr. Mannerss play, however. might
very easily be revived for a road tour"
next season. The work is no master
piece, but its appeal is very potent just
now. With aI adequate, less expensive
cast and, Of course, the retention of
Miss Taylor, the drama could stilI he
finely effective and its intrinsic merits
would be vastly heightened by prcsen-
tation in smaller theatre.
