URGES AN EXPANDED DEPART
MENT OF COMMERCE.

An urgent appeal for an expansion
of the department of commerce to
meet the demands that will be made
upon it as soon as the war is over was
made today by Burwell S. Cutler,
chief of the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce of that department,
in an address before the convention of
the American Manufacturers Export
association at New York.
There are only eleven American
commercial attaches" said Mr.. Cutler,
because funds for more do not exist.
Our, new estimates call for eighteen.
We do not purpose, it is true, to go
rs far as our British friends, for the
United Kingdom proposes to have
twenty-seven and Canada twenty

The fact that 5000 Porto Rican
workmen have already left the island
and that many more may leave has
aroused resentment and opposition
and an effort to discourage men from
joining the outgoing the outgoing
army of workers has been going on
for at least a couple of weeks.
In one large town where two weeks
ago last Sunday it was arranged to
hold mass meeting to explain to the
laborers the purpose for which they
were sent north and the treatment
they would receive, it is said that the
agents employed by the sugar men of
the vicinity were out offering all the
can workers $1.50 to continue work
during the entire day. Recently the
assistant examiners in Guayama stat
ed that the work of filling the quota
was being held back by the discour-
aging reports and accounts of the war
work disseminated among the men.
"It is the kind of thing that the I.
w. w. has been charged with doing
in the mainland" says Mr.. Roberts.

If it accepts him. In cases where there
are no dependents the case is clear. He
ought to be in the service one way or

athletics are there. They are ahead as
volunteers or conscripts. To real man
this fact must bring a strong pull to-

him at their side in the ranks and need

THE RIGHT TO SCRUTINIZE.
1AnamnSa Eureka

Every man has n right to scrutinize
and investigate the war activities TO-
wards which he is asked to contribute,
In fact if there is the least doubt in
his mind about the worthiness of those
activities. or the honest manner in
which they are handled, it is his duty
as a patriotic citizen not to talk and
gossip about his suspicious. but to in
vestigate and get at the true state of
facts If it is revealed that an activity
is unworthy or not properly handled
he is helping his government in making
exposure, far more than he would to
keep still and dig up his money. On
the other hand, if the movement is
worthy and he simply voices idle sus-
picions, he is injuring the work of his
government In New York city hackers
Of fake war charity enterprises and
soliciting schemes defrauded the public
out of a sum estimated at between two
and three millions of dollars. When
asked to give for war purposes. If you
do not know about the purposes for
which you are solicited ask for reason
able time to investigate. None of those
who back worthy causes will object to
such investigation.

WAR POETRY

| in wartime and expresses cheerful
willingness to send the whole batch
along for ten cents per effusion with
| the assurance that your readers will
find them very interesting"
One Of the trials OF the literary edi-
tors life IS war poetry" War verse
is the expression Of q noble emotion.
It is the writers expression of patriot
ism, courage, hope. Some Of the
poetry" that arrives is good, some bad
some worse and some approxt1nates
schrecklicheit But is the best he can
do, he has the passion OF all writers
to see it IN print-and there the editors
troubles begin
The mother Of good soldier wants
to see the verse he sent home IN print:

one else Maybe a dozen contributions

1T was original" It was pretty good
when you know the boy" etc, etc And
aall the time some OF it was fair, some
was fierce and some fercer.
| Now verse is like music. a manner OF
expression. 1t is just about as hard to
handle as music magazine those who
have never learned the violin pouring
out their souls thru the strings. Some
folks play beautifully by ear Some
folks write that way. but the orchestra

that sort would scarcely match the

| Much verse is being written Of the
war SO are many songs. Most Of the

divine expression. Somehow most OF
our war poetry and most Of our war
songs fall short. And the average ef-
fort Of the unframed songster whether
he sings or writes in rythm lacks the
power Of expression that touches hearts.
It is honest and true enough but It
hasn't the skill and has not found any
thing new or great.

CITY MEN CAN CITY MEN MUST.

must supply their places in the har-

There is not the slightest use Of ar
guing this matter pro and con. The

course it may be that General Crowder
overlooked the fact that the draft
takes help away from the town as 1t
does from the country and that those
who need and must have help are
bidding against each other for the

GET 1T PRINTED.
fEnoyyilla EyD7-aSS I

An exchange suggests that all who
use printed matter Of any kind should
order a years supply, at least, and do
so at once. as the cost will be almost
prohfbitive in a short time. The paper
market Is in a bad shape. prices are
going up almost every day. and the
supply is getting shorter all the time.
The printers and pressmen are getting
scarcer with every draft, and it is
quite probable that many printing
establishments will be closed inside Of
six months because of labor shortage.
The time to buy printing, like every
other manufactured product is right
now. It will not be cheaper-it is sure
to be higher.

ABOUT GYPSIES.

Gypsies do not help win the war.
Gypsies like other tramps. are para

should be applied to gypsies and

The band Of gypsies. travelling in big
motor cars. that visited Cedar Falls
this week was allowed to go on its
way after members Of it had been
caught red handed in thefts here. Only
the restoration of the stolen property
was exacted.
Why should these gypsies be permit

for which a resident Of the city would
have had to pay the penalty imposed
by law? Is theft by gypsy excusable:
Is the gypsy always to escape punish
