More than a year ago Gen. Woo

4 More than a year ago Gen. Wood
declared this war would not end until
this country was prepared to put an
army of at least 100000 men in the
field. The general was disciplined for
making this observation. Perhaps he
should have been. Army officers are not
supposed to express any views upon
matters of this kind. However, the
two former presidents, Taft and ROose-
welt, said the same thing. They were
right and the country is to be congratu-
lated that the national administration
has finally arrived at the same conclu-
sion. Better late than never.

Uncle San, FOrbids
Story City Build
ina School House

Story City, Iowa, Aug. 3O.-Now
that State Superintendent Deyoe has
finally decided the location Of Story
City's new $4,000 school house, the
bonds for which were recently voted,
the government has stepped in and
forbidden the erection of the building.
The action of the government Is q
war measure and follows decision
that the town can get along for the
present without the building. 1t will
probably not be erected until after the
war. The action of the government is
disappointing to the people here, but is
accepted in a patriotic way as war
necessity.

Great Britain has lost 100000 men
in this war and yet some people say
Great Britain has not done and is not
doing her; shave. AS the Freeman-J Jour
nal sees it.s ohe allies in Europe and
the United States as well, are doing
their full part There is glory enough
to go around and each of the combat
ants is winning fair portion of it.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1918-09-02

Our allies over in Europe put up a
wonderful fight for nearly three years
before the United States saw its duty
and got into the game. They have
suffered untold sacrifices. but are still
defiant and ready to go any lengths to
win. 1t is indeed inspiring to be join
ed with such associates in righteous
war. Everybody knows that France.
Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and the
smaller ones will stay till the end, no
matter how far off the end may be.

A contributor to the Des Moines Reg
lister suggests that all newspapers,
writer's and speakers quit referring to
persons as kings, emper0rs, princes,
dukes, etc. If his suggestions should be
adopted we would call them William
Hohenzollern, Carl Hapsburg, Nick Ro-
manotf, etc. 1t would take the world a
long time to become familiar with the
names of the various rulers.

MANY CHANGES TO BE MADE IN SHIP
 FOR ALASKA TRADE

SEATTLE, Jan. 21. - Extensive alterations and repairs costing ap- proximately $3O,000 are being made to the steamship Northland, which has been rechristened the Admiral Nicholson and will sail from Seattle February 15 flying the house flag of the Pacific Steamship Co.
 The vessel was purchased recent ly by the Admiral Line from the Border Line Transportation Con- pany and the underwriters who took charge of her following the accident in Rake Harbor, Alaska, June 25, 1916, when she sank at the pier.
 The new owners of the vessel are taking out her cold storage com partment and will use the entire lower hold for general freight The crews quarters, galley and store room of the vessel are being moved to the upper deck aft, where a new steel house is being constructed. This change in the arrangement of the vessel will give more cargo space in the hold.
