Although it is to be expected thai the larger amount of these goode were sent to allied countries there were nevertheless large quantities of goods forwarded to neutral nations the wants of which had to be filled in this country.

 MT. Brisbane with his Washington newspaper proves again that it is i'm possible to fool all the people all the time.
 The man on the corner says: From the drives which Foch is making he ought to develop into great golfer
 If Germany is amazed at American efficiency no one is to blame for if but Germany. Its very acts brought the awakening.
 Germany in launching its ninth loan is five ahead of the United States but that only gives Germany more cause for worry
 From the way in which the allies are pounding and driving the Bulgars and Turks the latter will not get much chance to fight amongst themselves.
 lf Jack Frost insists upon showing his color this early it win mean a lot of damage to crops which agricul- turalists should not be made to suffer
 The way General AIienby is going ahead must make Germany wonder what is going to become of the money it has beentpouring into Fur key.
 It should not be forgotten by those who have received questionnaires that they must be returned within the seven day period following their des- patch.
 1t looks as if the grand vizier a Turkey anticipated General Allenby'. great victory when he recently de. clared that peace would come before ] winter.

It is not surprising that the allied nations are. desirous of checking tn. bolshevik massacres in Russia.

astonished to hear of the number and variety of demands made. The or ganization has made a splendid inn pression; the sign Everybody Well come is known and understood to mean just that, so we have all kinds and conditions of visitors, of the sol- dier class chiefly. The men getting better at the hospital hasten in, the soldiers passing through the city and the men on leave all stop in to have chat with a K. C.. and at once are made to feel at home.
 After the terrific battle at Chateau Thierry the large American hospital was full of wounded Americans, chiefly marines. Two of our office force thought to do a kindly act by visiting them on a Sunday. They found the doctors and nurses so over worked that they could barely go through the operations and dressings; our men visited the wards and shaved the men. washed them, wrote their let ters and comforted them.

 It is true that the allied forces op- erating in Macedonia have not as yet gotten very far onto Bulgarian soil, the gains which have been made in the past few days having for the greater part concerned the recaptur- ing of Serbian territory. but from the progress which has been made, the cutting off of the railroad communi- cations and the Reorganization caused it is quite evident that a con tinuance of the advance will soon bring them there
 The allied blow has of course bsen administered in spite Of the strenuous opposition of the Bulgars and the nespatching of endorsements includ- ing Germans and the result is that this large force Of allied troops, made rp of British. French. Italians. Serb ians and Greeks. Is threatening Bull Earia with disaster
 If King Ferdinand of Bulgaria has been in a highly nervous and de- pressed state, as reported not long ago. 1t is evident that he is not get ting any relief as the result of the beating which has been administered 70 his forces. and if there is any con- Siderable inclination in Bulgaria in behalf of a peace which does not cal for territorial gains. as has been intimated from time to time. it mus be getting increased support from thi: new drive which Is underway an( which has no favorable outlook fol that country. In addition to this no a little influence can be expected tt result from the magnificent gain which has been made by the Britisl force in Palestine. Both Bulgaria anC Turkey have received hard blows ant are likely to get worse. the politica effect of which win not be small ever among the Balkans.

After all its experiences Spain is apparently willing to keep Germany on trial. This is indicated by what ig claimed to be the compromise un- derstanding which has been reached between those countries as-the result of the notification from Spain that it intended in the future as the result of the continued sinking of Spanish vessels to take over the interned Ger man ships lying in Spanish ports.
 German diplomacy has apparently wheedled the Spanish government in- 10 backing out of its position, for if ths agreement which is reported to nave been reached is true. Spain is 10 get seven German vessels as balm for the destruction of a third Of it's shipping to say nothing of the lives which have been taken in the tor pedoing of vessels. and Germany promises in the future to respect all spanish vessels which are engaged in tho exclusive trade of that coun- try.
 It would be supposed that Spain had seen enough of the results of German promises to fight shy of any more There is certainly no more reason for placing any trust in that government now than there ever was and there can be no question but what Germany intends to make this new promise just as much of a scrap oI paper as any of the rest. Spain has apparently sold it's self respect very cheaply. IL indicates to Germany that it can do most anything it pleases to that country and meet Spanish protests for a ridiculously low price This kind of encouragement to Ger man practices is the worst thing thu neutral nations can indulge in ant there Is good reason to believe thai Spain will regret the day that i showed its willingness to accept suct terms.
