ed Pres. Wilson. and who urged
1 The Irish Americans 10 vote for Mr..
Hughes for the presidency. If there
are any Sem Feiners sympathizers
/ in this neighbOrhOod, any who be-
lieve they represent the best in
| Irish tradition, and that their souls
are filled with love-" they should
at least be asked 10 come out Of
their hiding. The Sein Feiners are
for germany. The United States is
against germany.
They say Gen. Foch is the great
est strategist in Europe. All right.
If the bouquets have all been thrown
let's get behind him and raise ell
with the kaiser.
We had all the Paris hotel regis
/ ters searched yesterday and up TO
the hour the last car left Mishawa-
ka fc- South Bend last night our
scouts failed to find a trace of Won
Hindenburg in the French capital.
The school board has listened"
TO us again. Since reading our de-
mand that the salaries of teach
ers be increased they have come
! across handsomely. No wonder the
| teachers of the public schools love
US so!
! We think Lenroot is a pretty nice
sort of man for republican. but il
! violates the sense of proportion to
attempt TO make a national issue Of
him.
! a Chicago newspaper writer says
John Barleycorn is making more
I farewell appearances than Bern
hardt The writer must be a green
horn. The John Barleycorn fare
Well follows the disappearance,
whereas in Bernhardts case the re-
appearance follows the farewell.
Apparently. it is going to take all
the ground Hindenburg gained to
supply burying room for the Ger
man dead.
Kansas City turned down reform
| by nearly 5000 majority Could
you blame her? Thinking about
/ bunch of republicans coming before
the people advocating reform! Kan
sas City just locked up her valuables
and said: It's democracy for me-"
rs hell a place or a state?" asks
the inquisitive HomewOod av. sub
scriber. Figuring on the numbers
to be accommodated it must be
right smart chance of the whole
universe.
! Mishawaka has stepped right in
and subscribed for that $35O.OOO
worth of Liberty bonds. The cause
is worth it.
Mishawaka will not have any
war chest" if by that is meant the
pooling Of war and "charita BILE" in
stitution contributions. The latter
are all self sustaining. and during
these times can practice stricter
economy if necessary. We're going
to give TO the Red Cross. Y. VI. c. A.
and X. c.. and will buy Liberty
bonds until we haven't another bean
in our jeans. but Mishawaka char

themselves these days.
"Czernin lies" declares old Glenn
enceau, when shown the formers
peace statement That is rather a
gruff way of declaring a fact. but
after all il suits better than the US
ual language of diplomacy, which
would have been something like
| this: His Excellency does not
speak with that degree Of exactness
which should chara cterize the state
ments Of a gentlemen of impecca-
bic veracity when discussing issues
Of such prodigious consequence"
They tell us that the germans are
again taking the initiative. 1t is up
TO the allies to administer the bif-

Mishawaka has stepped into the
spotlight by doing something decent
for its school teachers. When the
women get to voting we want 10 see
them raise Is different kinds Of sano
until the decent thing is done by the
men and women who are doing the
most important work that is being
done in the public service short of
the defense of the nation itself.

We pay tribute to Mrs George b
Williams who, as head of the wom-
ems committee selling Liberty loan
bonds in Mishawaka, has simply
walked away from the South Bend
committee with feminine ease.
Nfishawaka is as dry as a wooden
leg. but you know YOU don't see the
wooden leg at all times and that may
be the very time when it encounters
more or less dampness.
SO long as we balk at the real
job which is getting 5000. 600 men
10 France at the earliest possible
moment, we are simply playing war.
