Three Kinds of Gentlemen.

Philadelphia Ledger: Ireland is
the only country in which it has
ever been customary to classify
gentlemen as OF three distinct kinds
of species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized 20 some extent in the
Emerald Isle, but two centuries
ago, and even much later. they were
defined respectively as one) the
'halfmounted,' (two) the gentle
man every inch of him." and (three)
the gentleman to the backbone. "
The first class consisted of de-
scendants OF Cromwell's soldiers,
who, if they could ride well, were
called "Buckskin Breeches," or
"Squireens.'
The second class was composed
of descendants OF old families whose
estates had been forfeited to the
crown (for rebellion or other rea-
sons), and who had been compelled
to lower themselves by working for
Il living, in trade or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen
to the backbone e"-comprised the

If YOU have job, read page
ad in Middle Western city, stick
TO it. II you haven't, come and get
one. If you can swing pick or
drive a nail, ii you are a machinist
an electrician, carpenter-if you
know any trade-this city can use
you. She needs YOU to help win
the war.
This call for volunteers ought to
be made universal. There has been
much talk for Il long time OF the
need of everybody jumping in and
working to win the war. but there
has been little organized effort A
national campaign to enlist the Ell
forts OF every available man, wom-
an, boy and girl would probably pro
duce admirable results. The nation
is awake now; it needs only intelli-
gent organization and direction.
This plan will probably strike
most Americans as better, for the
present, than adopting compulsory
labor laws as several states have
done. Everybody should work, and
it is right to draft shirkers ii they
make it necessary; but most states
viii prefer to leave that as 4 final
resort. Ii volunteering fails through
public or private indifference, eco
nomic conscription will inevitably
be adopted everywhere.

Furnishing NEWSPAPERS.

Mount Vernon, y. L., undertook
to prevent BY ordinance the sale OF
Hearst newspapers in that city, on
he ground that they are diSloyal
Various other communities around
the country have taken similar ac-
tion with regard to these or other
papers alleged to be pro- German III
character.
Such action is pronounced illegal
BY New York court. 1t is prob
ably as illegal everywhere as it is in
New York state. The reasons, AS
set forth by the New York World,
are as follows:
The mayor and aldermen Of
Mount Vernon have assumed a
power they do not possess and
should not possess. Ii they could
bar certain newspapers for reasons
of diSloyalty they could bar others
for reasons less worthy. The vii
iage president or crossroads con
stable might claim the same power,
and the freedom OF the press would
end
The reasoning seems sound. And
there is no lack OF proper remedies
for the cure of unpatriotic journal
ism or any other kind of journal.
ism that offends against public
spirit, taste or morals. Cases OF
provable treason or sedition can be
handled by the government. Papers
That are clever enough to steer clear
of overt acts, while maintaining
spirit offensive to good citizens, can
be dealt with by the public.
Indeed, it is the public that has
the first and last word in determin-
ing the fate OF all newspapers, un-
der all circumstances. Ii the people |
OF any community don't like paper,
all they have to do is to stop buying
It. No newspaper evil can survive
that practical remedy.

RETRIBUTION.

From an American correspond
ent's story OF the dashing, captur'
OF Cantigny, on the second day o
the big German drive, we find thi
significant passage:
Then came the work with bay
onets, grenades and flame-throw
ers. Thirty Germans were incin
Grated in one dugout when they
fired on the Americans after cry
ing 'kamerad ="
There is a volume OF comment il
that one short paragraph. 1t i,
easy enough to fill in the details
Our troops had captured the Ger
man trenches. They were clearing
them out. 1t was necessary to cap
ture or kill all the Germans who re-
NAMED alive. Our soldiers, play
ing the game fairly, gave every foe
chance to surrender.
As squad of Sammies approach
ed this particular dugout, voices be
low shouted "kamerad" which is
the universal German word of sur
render. The natural presumption
was that they were severely hurt,
and they could not climb out. Some
of our boys therefore started down
into the dugout. AS soon as their
bodies showed clearly against the
outer light, the Germans below fir
ed on them.
The punishment for their treach
cry was instantaneous and terrible.
Our troops weer armed with flame
throwcrs" having in self-defense
adopted them along with other dev-
ilish devices introduced by the Hun.
A nozzle was rammed down into
the dugout entrance, and the flame
turned on. And those thirty Ger
mans below were burned alive.
It's an old story to all the allied
armies except ours. The British
long ago found it necessary to
bomb" the occupied German dug
outs, because whenever a Tommy
went down into a hole to help
wounded" German he was shot or
stabbed. 1t is the same ugly fact,
demonstrat in u thousand differ
ent ways, that no German soldier
can be trusted. They must be fought
as ii they were wild beasts.
And it is all so utterly futile.
Whatever initial advantage they
lave gained from any particular
preach of honor, humanity or law
las soon been lost. They have
,een repaid in their own coin, with
ntes,St. in all except the basest in
lecencies and treacheries. to which
10 allied soldier will stoop even in
etaliation.

BREAD WITHOUT FLOUR.
French Machine Which Transforms
Grain Directly into Dough-Pro-
cess Shortens Operations.

New York Sun: In France bread
has been made without flour in a
machine that transforms the wheat
directly into dough. This machine
has large screw turning loosely
in a case on the inner surface OF
which is a screw thread running in
an opposite direction. Between the
main threads on the cylinder are
smaller threads, and the depth OF
the groove becomes progressively
smaller from one end to the other,
so that it will hold the entire wheat
grain as it enters the machine, at
the same time accommodating only
the pulverized wheat at the exit.
The wheat is prepared by a thor
ough washing, after which opera
ton about pint OF tepid water to
a pound of grain is added, the whole
mixture being allowed to stand TOR
some six hours. Then the grains
of wheat have swollen to twelve
times their ordinary size. The mix
ture is then treated with yeast and
salt. and is poured into the ma
chine. il falls between the threads
of the moving screw, which stimuli
crush the envelope and
body OF the grain. making OF them
a homogeneous mixture that forms
smooth paste.
Bread made by this process con
tains a succession OF holes whose
size increases as they approach the
crust, which is thin. The odor Civ
en- off is said TO be most agree
able.
