The Kansas City Star:
A senatorial campaign this year of more than
local interest is that OF Medill Mccormick, CON-
gressman-at-Iarge from Illinois. who is now
seeking the dictatorship in succession to J. Ham
alton Lewis. In his service In the house, Mr..
Mccormick has made distinct impression on
Washington and on the country.
He went to congress with unusual uualifica-
tons. This 10 time when international rela-
tons are at the front, and he had the interest
and the information that would naturally come
TO a son OF an American ambassador to Austria
Hungary, Russia and France under two presi-
dents. This Is q time when sound business sense
is at a premium In congress- and he had had
experience not only as editor but as publisher
OF The Chicago Tribune.
From the beginning Of his term he became
an outstanding figure because he was we'll In
formed, intelligent, energetic and with a wide
acquaintanceship. Incidentally, his wife is
daughter of Mark Hanna When congress was
eager for first hand information from the bat
tie front last year Mccormick went over and
brought back just what wanted. He proved
to be not one Of those war congressman who are
merely satisfied to vote for the administrations
war measures. He contributed inteuigently to-
ward the making Of war policies, In a. body
where many men are simply submerged he main
tanned an independent position and has made
himself a force for more efficient government r.
Illinois Is in luck to have the chance to pro-
mote man of this stamp from the house to the
senate. His record IL a guarantee that he will
be OF unusual service TO the nation there.

When Blue Stars Turn To Cold

How numerous the service nags, the blue stars
how respondent, ~Y
And they tug at hearts OF loved ones until all
our lives, it seems
Are upltfted by the boys come TO manhood so
tranacendent i. y
That they give to us the spirit Of their vision
and their dreams.
They're declaring now the glory of the fathers
and the mothers
Who upon the hills ana prairies in the stirring
times Of youth
Suffered, toiled endured the dangers, lived the
life Of hope that others
Might build upon foundations they had laid on
stones of truth.
These heroes have inherited the promise Of our
Nation,
Their work in Trance and Flanders is fulfill-
fuInent to their souls.
Fighting 9oT q master purpose, they achieve an
exaltation
That can come but once 10 humankind as his
tory unrols.
So supreme the heights they're reaching that
their blue STARS now are changing
Into gold ones. And we rneaEIy Kiss
the rod.
For their noble sacrifices. the souls highest
reaches ranging,
Have glor1aied America and God!

HARMLESS BYPLAY.

Forbidding newspapers to call anybody
pro-German unless they can prove it, is
about on a par with forbidding newspa-
pers to commit any offense forbidden by
law.
No responsible newspaper would dare
call man a pro-German unless it had
proof of the fact, as it would mean a libel
suit
Therefore the state council of defense is
merely indulging in little pleasant by
play. 1t might continue right down the
line and forbid murder, theft, arson and
assault during the period of the war.
1t will be interesting to see just how far
the council will carry its little game. In
another column on this page this evening,
is quoted an editorial from The Crosby
Review, in which the editor calls another
editor a "pro-Hun." But maybe it
doesn't count" when Nonpartisan edi-
tor is the offender
The council is opening up for itself a
fine career of usefulness (2) as an arbiter
of neighborhood squabbles. Think of vast
ing the statesmanlike qualities of Thomas
Allan Box of Casselton on such petty mat
tiers. It distresses us.

BASEBALL GOES UNDER.

Baseball has succumbed to the war at
last.
Even the faithful fans will admit that
the step was justified
The marvel is that it has lasted so long.
Lack Of interest on the part of the spec
tators had undermined the constitution of
good old King Baseball and the "work or
fight" regulation administered the death
blow.
The sight Of Is ablebodied men devot-
ing their time to such piffling business as
baseball game, with the world in flames,
was not an inspiring one to put the most
generous construction on it. To the credit
Of professional baseball players, let it be
said that few Of them tried to shirk their
duties. Many Of them volunteered, and
few of them sought exemption from the
draft. But with the country calling for
the very highest possible utilization Of its
man power, to let baseball continue would
have been to advertise the government 3 in
sincerity.
Amateur sport is another matter. Exer-
else is necessary to keep men fit for their
duties. It was never so much needed as
now, when every man and every woman is,
or should be, working under increased
pressure. But exercise is not to be gained
sitting in the bleachers consuming peanuts.
After the war seat back of the catch
er's box will be just as inviting as it ever
was.

nlonocles. But you can't beat them. They
never quit. They don t know what fear is.
Say, mother dear, never knew courage
was so common.

The Englishman is the greatest colonizer

ness, it is but an outward sign of lowering
his standards of morality and efficiency.
He refuses to slip to the level of the black
and brown men with whom he associates.
This lesson of not letting down" may
be one of the most valuable that the Brit
ish soldiers and officers can teach some of
the Americans, who may be inclined to
carelessness. The bath-when it is avail
ahla-and the shave are wonderful bolster
ers Of courage and good spirits as every SOL
der knows. We can forgive the English
officers even their monocles if they teach
us the lesson of not ''letting down.. And
the lesson is just as valuable to the civilian
as it is to the soldier.

DRAWING TIE MOOSE TIGHTER.

That the Germans will have to retire
from the entire Rheims Chateau Thierry-
scissors salient grows more probable with
every hour of fighting.
Saturday. when the drive on the western
side Of the salient was being slowed up by
the presence of fresh German reserves, the
Americans and French struck suddenly on
the eastern side and the 'pincers" move
ment is making the situation Of the large
forces Of German troops in the salient
more and more critical.
Already the south bank of the Marine
has been cleared of Germans. They re-
tired under heavy smoke screen Friday
and Saturday, and only the dead and the
prisoners remain.
This retirement, it Is needless to state,
was not made until it was necessary. The
Germans realized the critical position in
which they found themselves as well as
anybody. 1t was necessary to retire at
once or face humiliation.
H. And the same conditions that applied to
the troops south Of the Marine, applies to
all the troops in the whole salient. They
are. caught in a sack, and the Americans
and French are drawing a moose tighter
and tighter around the mouth of the sack.
Every yard that the Americans and French
advance increases the chance of trapping
large body Of German troops and every
hour the Germans remain in the salient i'll
creases the likelihood of complete pants
and rout if they are finally forced to with
draw.
The next few days will be crucial ones.

Turkey Must Guess Again
From The Literary Digest.

From The Literary Digest.
Some rosy visions before the turkish

would be complacent and permissiVe, saw him
self the ruler of a great Turkish empire extend

Caucasus and entered into pretty flirtatlon
with the Russian Mohammedans who tnhabtt the

sultan's arms as he to welcome them there.

WAR
FOR REVENGE,
GERMAN WRITES

New York, July 20.-The present
war is a. ''war Of revenge" long de-
sired by the Germans, writes
Kurd Won Strantz. a pan-German
leader in a book entitled Our Ma
tionaI War Coal published in Ger
many.
German newspapers received here
quote the author as saying:
I'm my boyhood days the German
war Of retaliation, as we must name
this world war more correctly, was
the dream Of my life, the realiza-
ton of which 1 have never despaired
Of, although / did doubt that I would
live to see it In view of the unfortun-
ate peace policy followed by the
post Bisnarckian administration.
But I have lived to enjoy that
happiness. BY word and letter
have fought for this war Of revenge
which finally is to restore our old ma
tional and political frontiers which
we had gradually lost in the east
and west since 1852. Neither 1878
nor 1871 restored those frontiers.
Bismarck started our national
rise but ne did not complete it. His
discharge impeded the victory
promising course, as his successor
gave half Of German Africa sense
lessly without any compensation to
our new arch enemy, England.
Herewith began the descent which
only this world war could arrest and
which l Ionged for and foresaw when
such thoughts were unpopular"
The Berlin Vorwaerts, says the en-
tire enemy world will learn Of this
confession with great satisfaction
and adds: III Herr Won Strantz had
been paid for his book by enemy
agents he could not have better
worked into the hands Of the enemy
countries. The book, says The Vor-
waerts, is proof of the criminal
activities Of certain pan-G German
circles which now openly boast that
they had longed for this war as their
greatest happiness.
