This angel.faced German gentleman,
once a sane scientist, has given birth
to an idea that ought to earn for him
the Grandest Grand Cross Of the iron
Cross. We can imagine the German
under their tongues in great glee.
Here it Is:
As fully justihable reprisal" for
the alleged, ill.'reatment Of German
Africa, he suggests:
THAT twice the number OF Belgian
men, women and children Of superior
social standing be compelled TO march
in winter time. inadeQuately clad and
fed on prison fare, from 10 10 Is times
between Constanza on the Black Sea
and Riga, on the Baltic"
From ConstanZa TO Riga is q mere

F. NJ. Dunbarf president Of the Ajax
Company has an article in last weeks
issue OF the American Coal Journal
in which he says:
"Our experience for a number Of
years in building houses for coal min.
es has been one Of progression. In
West Virginia ten or twelve years ago
il you had suggested building a five
or six room detached cottage with
running water and electric lights you
would have been considered a crazy
dreamer, as most OF the houses were
built along the river and the side OF
the Countain in rather convenient plac'
es. A little later on the larger COM
panies began to build a little better
class Of houses and found that 1t paid
by attracting a better class OF labor.
Within the last two or three years the
coal companies have all been erecting
better houses for their men than they
built for their superintendent and
managers ten or twelve years ago, and
the families Of the men have been ed
ucated to respect decent house and
not abuse It,"

THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT

President Wilson wants Congress to stay on the job instead of chasing home to repair political fences and line up for the fall elections. Of late great majority of the congressman have been showing more concern over what is happening in their respective districts than they have manifested towards the vital issues that demand their immediate attention. This was to be expected-and is to be pardoned. we suppose. Your average congress- man has a deep-seated conviction that the destinies of the Republic reside in his keeping, and therefor it is his bounden duty to perpetuate himself in office. And how can he accom- plish this unless he leaves Washing ton to sWelter by itself in summer time while he rushes home to kiss the babies, compliment the ladies, and shake hands with every Tom. Dick and iidily III HIS QlStr1ct!
 The President, however, takes a diff fere view of the situation and seeks to set the minds of such as these at rest by assuring them that "politics is adjourned" and that 'the elections will 20 to those who think least of it; to those who go to the constitu- encies without explanation or excuse. with a plain record of duty faithfully and d1sinterestedly performed" As to the latter observation, we fully agree with the President, but we do doubt that it will be very reassuring to some four hundred and odd law makers. They will remain in Wash nston, of course, and do whatever the President desires, not because they hold the same opinion of their constituents but because he has fixed the responsibility upon their shoul- ders and they fear to go home until they have cleared the calendar of all urgent business Meanwhile they will be most uncomfortable-and the warm weather will not be altogether the cause of their discontinue.
 What the Preident had in mind when he said "politics is adjourned" invites all sorts of speculations. Sure ly he is going to allow us to hold our customary elections this fall, even though he will not countenance the re- turn of the congressman to participate in their own campaigns at an early date! Perhaps he merely desired to speed Congress up a bit.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-06-11

ure, the losses in ships alone to the
 allies last year aggregated s1,300,000,-
 900. Then it is safe to say that the
 cargoes carried by thes ships would
 be worth at least four times as much
 as the ships themselves. The losses
 thereby entailed, then, would approach
 a total of s5,OO0,O 900. Thus the
 combined losses in ships and cargoes losses that can never be reclaimed at the least calculation go well past the six billion mark, staggering item
 to contmeplate. And as one contem- plates the dream of destruction of old
 Admiral Von Tirpitz and how near it
 came to realization, it causes even the most cold-blooded person to shake
 in his boots.
 AS matters now stand, the German press is making no secret of it's dis appointment over the failure of the submarines to starve England and to
 stop the United States army trans ports in their tracks across the sea. They profess chagEin at the thought that they hardly ever sink an Amer ican troopship, and when we do sink one we always find that only the ship is lost, whereby the troops whom We really want to destroy are always saved" They no doubt recall Luden- dorff's boastful prophecy of a year ago that "our submarines will see to it that the American troops will not reach the European battlefields, and that other assurance of the war lords that although a million soldiers leave leave America, they would all see the bottom of the Atlantic. We'll, ourI troopships seem to be racing past the submarines without having their sched- ules seriously interfered with. and somehow or other, England manages to keep from starving to death; in fact she is not only keeping body and soul together, in spite of the sub- marines, but she is showing the Ger mans the fanciest kind of fighting along the west front To the thick headed Teuton this is all very diff- cult to comprehend; he can't figure it out with the information he has at hand. The British admiralty and the United States navy chiefs could no doubt enlighten him, but what they know must remain a dark secret for the time being, at least.
