10 catch the suggestion.
There is one excuse and only one
excuse that might possibly justify
such a conspiracy, and that would be
great national emergency Setting
aside any discussion as to whether
such plan would work" and
whether such a conspiracy could be
formed, what right has newspaper
editor to suppress news or color it?
He takes a contract with his sub
scriber to furnish the news Of the
day. He also comments on that
news, editorially. But the news
service should be as complete and as
impersonal as tho facilities Of the
newspaper permit it to offer. The
news columns belong to the sub
.scriber; the editorial columns 10 the
paper.
The publisher who would join such
a conspiracy Of silence would set his
Judgment up above that Of the MAJOR
ity. He would put himself in the
position Of judging what was safe for
the readers to see and what was not.
Newspapers were never so widely
read as they arc today, and their
editorial preachings so frequently
UNDECIDED. The reason is that they
have sought to usurp tho powers OF
political dictators, instead Of trying
to keep to their proper role of pre-
senting a truthful, comprehensive
and interesting chronicle Of current
events, together with the views Of
their writer's on the more important
of these events. The few newspaper
organs" that have sprung up, dis
credit those who are trying to func-
ton as honest newspapers.

The hope Of IL. Is that America
VIII acquire a vast army OF inde-
pendent, fearless young men. fun Of
initiative, with q world vision, and
convinced and determined that old
economic problems can and must be
solved.
Don't be afraid OF socialism in the
MARKHAM sense. These men viii want
a chance for more initiative, not less.
They will want to own their own
land and their own business, not con
tinue to be wards of the government.
Recall what q factor the @. A. r.
was following the Civil war. Then
look out for the rafting Of some dry
bones when the boys come home. The
man who has beaten the Germans Is
not going to spend the rest of his
days fearing that he and his wife
and children win die OF starvation
because he is out OF employment.
This war brings some startling
revisions of judgments Of our fellow
men.
Before the war, the average AM
erican citizen was half contemptuous
and half envious of Vernon Castle.
He was a professional dancer, the
pet OF an ultra smart set OF New
York society folk, and a graceful at
tendant at o'clock teas. But his
earnings, that ultimate standard by
which. worth was judged, entitled
him to the respect OF even million
aires.
Then came the war. and Mr.. Castle
jumped into the most dangerous
service Of all, the flying corps! and at
a time when the British flying corps
vas contemplate little" organiza-
ton. He made more than $50 fights
over the German lines, and by sheer
courage, nerve and skill won his i
captaincy. Then he was assigned to
the work Of instructing new flyers,
and met his death when only 100 feet
from the ground, while trying to
avoid D collision with a cadet flyer.
He gave his life to save that Of a
raw recruit.
The world won't remember Vernon
Castle as a dancer. but as an aviator
and a hero.

H. c. WELLS ON THE WAR AIMS.

H. G. Wells, writing in The New
Republic, has new slant on the wal
aims discussion.
He sees in Lord Lansdowne's fam
Gus letter the thought of a peer
who fears revolution more than ma
tional dishonor". In other words, he
would seek peace to check the rising
tide Of democracy in England.
He feels that the Tories OF England
Numbered into the war. and now
dread the fall of the monarchy in
Germany and Austria more than
they dread the defeat of the Allies.
'If we Allies are honest then, il a
revolution is started in Germany to-
day, we should. If anything, lower the
price Of peace to Germany" he says.
but those people who pretend to
lead us will state nothing of the sort.
For them a revolution in Germany
would be signal for putting up the
price of peace.
Mr.. Wells, as one Of the keenest in
telIects in England, is. Of course, bet
ter qualified to discuss the trend Of
thought there, than almost anyone
on this side Of the Atlantic. But his
article is an interesting corollary Of
a statement that has been made
frequently in these columns. That Is,
that this war should be. above all, a
war of the working classes. They
have far more at stake than the rich.
The same statement was very forcibly
made here by Charles Edward. Rus
sell, who said that 1t was, above all
else, a working mans war. Cant
you see that, men? he pleaded at the
Auditorium meeting.
Then comes Mr.. Wells and says
that there are in Great Britain,
groups and classes Of people, not
numerous or representative, who jeer
at the idea Of a league of nations
for a world peace and world freedom,
and the overthrow Of autocratic gov
ernments.
Whether Mr.. Wells Is right or
wrong as regards q certain class in
England, 1t is true that the working
men of this country are realizing
more each day that this is their war
more than it is a rich mans war.
They are winning in few weeks and
months, concessions they asked for
in vain. for years. Policies that seem
ed decades away are already in
force. If Germany wins this war, 1t
will set democracy back 100 years.
IF all classes forgot patriotism and
thought only Of their selfish inter
ests, the rich would be opposing this
war and secretly unfolding the hands
Of Germany, while the Socialists, the
and the working men would
be its most militant and enthusiastic
supporters. To their credit let it be
said, that the rich in America, as a
class, have placed patriotism above
all else. and all classes in America |
are now united behind the war as
they have been at no time since last |
April.
mo" said the clerk, we haven't a |
first class mouth organ in stock and |
can't get one. The good ones are all
made in Germany, and the supply was
exhausted months ago. Any firm
which could manufacture a first class
mouth organ would make a fortune,
,or the demand was never so big. /
Every soldier seems to want one.
That was the statement made in a
Fargo music store the other day.

wasted. Potatoes do not keep indef-
nitely, and annually many old potatoes
are allowed to sprout in the cellars
and are ultimately thrown away. The
potato flour which can be made from
them Keeps well. so by taking time by
the forelock and making the surplus
stock of old potatoes into flour before
they spoil you avoid the waste of valu-
able food material.
How to Make Potato Flour.
1t is easy TO make the potato flour.
Wash the potatoes, boil until tender,
and remove the skins. Force, while
still hot, through potato ricer on to
drying trays. These trays may be
made of Stats of wood covered with
cloth or wire screening held in wooden
frames; indeed, any tray that will let
the air circulate freely from under
meath as well as around the tray may
be used. Clean cheesecloth should be
spread over 1t before ricing the pota-
toes on the tray. Place the loaded
trays in the blast of air from an cleo
tric fan, If you have one, or in warm
oven with the door ajar. When COM
pletely dry, grind to the desired fine
ness in hand mill such as is found IL
many homes for grinding megrowl
grain. A coffee mill may be used, or
food chopper. using the nut knife. II
these do not grind fine enough, rolling
with a rolling pin and sitting several
times will help.
1t takes three pounds of unpeeled
potatoes to make little over half
pound of potato flour, so If you have
to buy potatoes you should reckon
costs carefully. If you have potatoes
that will go to waste otherwise, save
them in the form of potato flour.
You can use either the commercial
potato -four or the homemade product
to greatly reduce the use of wheat
flour in cakes, cookies and breads.
A few recipes for the use Of potato
flour are given below.

Favored Dessert Not to Be De-
MED Us Even in This Year
of WheatIess Meals. '
SEVERAL EXCELLENT RECIPES
After Strawberries Have Passed Use
Raspberries, BIackberries, Stoned
Cherries, Sliced Peaches,
Bananas, Etc.

Here is a word to cheer the men.
Shortcake, the dessert that ranks with
pie in masculine favor, is not denied
us, even in this year of wheatless
meals. The conservation program and
shortcake are not incompatible, pro-
vided the "cake" is made of the wheat
substitutes. Here are some good ones,
all of them wheatless. Try one or
them the next time you serve straw
berries or raspberries.
After the strawberry season make
shortcakes with raspberries, blackber-
ries, stoned cherries, blueberries, sliced
peaches, sliced bananas, etc.
There are two types of crust for
shortcake that people like, one made
like biscuits and unsweetened, the
other like plain sweet cake. Each
kind has its advocates.
shortcake Without Wheat Flour.
Those who like shortcake made from
rich, unsweetened biscuit dough,
baked in a sheet, split and buttered
while hot, and with a thick layer of
the crushed or sliced berries sweet
ened and placed between the layers of
crust and on top, will like these short
cakes.

THE ALLIES.

By T. R. Lee, oath Inf. Columbus N. NJ.
The bloody war still RACES. on the
battlefields Of Ypres. Even in Fran
zela Valley, and on the Dorgnes.
The Boches failed at Verdun. in
striving to win fame! And again the
Allies foiled them, in their attempt in
old Lorraine.
The mighty guns are dealing death
and destruction in their wake, and the
lives of Allied comrades are the grim
prizes at stake.
They laughed at death in Flanders
and along the bloody Rheims, but
nothing on earth can stop them but
victory, so it seems.
They're holding the line at Lune-
vile like brother hand in hand. in
this struggle for Democracy and free
dom for the land!
Through death, hell and destruction
they've fought on to LaFere, and en-
couraging them to go onward are the
ones at home SO dear.
They've razed the trenches at Arras
they've died like men at Ronssay. and
they'll hold them at all odds without

Across the lines in No Mans Land
