A CHANCE TO INVESTIGATE

Young Mr.. Creel. who has assumed
the duties of directing the publicity OF
the country. seems again TO have got
ten into a ticklish position. With very
good reasons. Mr.. Creel is accused OF
having shown favoritism towards GER
tain newspapers. and to have discrim
mated against others. Ii is amazing
that the newspapers which seem TO
have enjoyed Mr. Creel's good will are
papers that have been at least suspect
ed Of pro-Germanisnl. while the srauch,
est supporters of vigorous national
policy have been Disseminated against.
Young Mr.. Creel has made number
Of foolish breaks. In onn he is report
ed to have said that he rejoiced that
America was found unprepared for
war. His attempts TO censor public
news have often resulted in withhold
ing important information without in
any way advancing national interest
AS a body. the newspaper press of the
United States IS patriotic 10 the core.
It would be hard to find an American
newspaper man who would deliberate
~ publish information that might be
hurtful TO the national cause. The
newspapers have in fact gladly submit
ted to restrictions which they felt were
unnecessary and burdensome rather
than be placed in false position. But
it seems the time has come for some
plain speaking. We can put up with
lack OF intelligence possibly in the
censorship, IL we are assured that
there Is no lack Of honesty.
Mr.. Creel is promising subject for
one OF. the numerous investigations
which Congress seems TO have on tap.

families at home. That everything
possible should be done for their pro
lection and comfort goes without say
ing. The welfare not only OF our sol
dters, but of those dependent upon
them. and the urgent necessities OF
our allies, military and civilian. de-
mand liberal support Of the Red
Cross, which has been so faithful in
relieving distress. restoring the waste
of war and uphoiding thr war morale
in this and allied countries.
Whatever the Red Cross asks Of the
American people will he given with n
generous hand. The fact that we have
just completed a successful loan does
not release uEf from further efforts.
Our service must be as constant and
continuous as that of our boys in the
trenches. More than ever. life in these
strenuous times means subjugation Of
selhshness. We have no doubt tina.
Wheeling's response TO the Presidents
call will be most cheerfully given,
and the loyal and generous spirit Of
her citizens again be- emphatically
demonstrated by liberal oversub-
scription OF her quota.

THE DRAFT LAW

The Supreme Court Of ;he United
States has again upheld The constitu
tionality Of the draft law. In addition
It declares that men selected for mill
tary service can be sent anywhere in
the world. irrespective OF militia law
While this decision was TO be expect
ed. It Is a gratifying clearing up of oil
questions involved in the sclectire
draft.
For the court to have done other
wise than TO sustain Congress would
have been IN effect to declare thai
this was not a nation; that our gov
eminent had not the power to defend
itself or its own citizens. All Qu"s
tions involving the nationality Of the
American people have long since been
settled.
The theory that we were only com

was forever buried at Appomato1

POOLING THE STOMACH

That necessity is the mother Of in
vention is strikingly illustrated, by an
advertisement in a Berlin newspaper
in which chemist offers medicine
making man forget that he is hun,
gy. While the best remedy for an
empty stomach, in our opinion, still is
a square meal. it must not be forgot
ten thar in Berlin only rich people
have any use for this recipe. The or
binary citizen there has not been able
10 indulge in such a luxury for years
past. and he can hardly be expected
TO satisfy his grunting stomach with
the victorious news" with which he
is fed in superabundance BY the au
thorites. And hunger will engender
a certain uncomfortable feeling, as the
chemist explains. That this uncom,
Portable feeling disappears immediate
~ when the medicine is taken Is the
claim OF the chemist in his advertise
ment. He does not state. however
how long one can go on starving with
out fatal results. And it must indeed
be a peculiar stomach that will thrive
on this delusive grin OF feigned be-
nightly for any length of time.
