INTERALL|EDP POOL
BEING FORMED IN
FRANCE AND BRITAIN

Further correlation OF American
and allied interests is looked for fol-
lowing the announcement that L. L.
Summers, member of and technical
adviser to the War Industries Board,
has arrived in London with ten other
experts.
Conservation OF shipping space,
shortening OF ship haulage, better
methods of distributing materials.
and means of preventing imitation will
be discussed when the Summers dele
cation confers with representatives
of the allied nations on various inter
allied councils.
1t is assumed that the presence in
Europe of so many high American
Government officials means that plans
for an interallied pool are Ee~-!rg
completion. Herbert Hoover, knleri-
can food administrator, who reached
London several weeks ago. has al
ready put into effect pooling Of food.
Mr.. Summers mission will no doubt
be in the interest Of a pool OF all war
materials. There are now flve inter
allied councils in Europe working to-
ward ultimate unity OF purpose.
There are the war council, shipping
council, munitions council. food coun-
ell, and commission on finance.

FROM MISSOURI

Nomination of Joseph W. Folk for
Senator from Missouri on the Demo-
cratic ticket, which is assured from
the returns from the recent primar-
les. points to a hotfcampaign in that
State to fill the Senatorial office.
This is the place formerly filled by
Senator William ]. Stone, who died
some weeks ago. Xenophon p. Will
fley was appointed as the temporary
successor of Senator Stone, and now
has been defeated in the primaries
by Folk, former governor of Mis-
souri,, and former chief counsel of

sion
Sought Presidency.
Mr.. Folk long has been an aspir-
ant for the Senatorship. and has like
wise aspired to the Presidency. Since
the days when he was governor of
Missouri however, his political road
has been a pretty rough and uphill
one, due in large part to the fact he
was at outs with the Democratic po-
litical machine of the State. He will
not have an easy road to travel TO
get the Senatorship now that he is
nominated. Selden P. Spencer, the

sharp one.
Missouri is normally q Democratic

the Republicans occasionally. On
the whole, Folk stands a good chance
of winning the election

forcing it's way forward with every

speaks OF vague rumors OF food
shortages and pines for the sight OF
a good old dollar bill.

letter follows:
Huns Fear Americans.
I'VE have the Huns on the run. and
We are going to keep them going.
The 'Dagoes' are pushing the Aus
trians so fast that many OF them are
dying because they haven't got time
TO catch their breath.
"These boys over here don't know
what fear is. The Hun is as afraid
OF an American as he is of the devil.
The Sammies have taken every trench
or position that they have gone after
so far, and they will continue to do
so.
"An this stuff you hear about the
Germans being great fighters is all
bunk They are not fighters; they
are murderers. They will murder a
woman or a child but they won't at
tack a man who has even a chance
to bite him on the shin or something
as he goes down. and when IL comes
to toe and toe fighting, they are not
there. They turn and run; the dogs.

paragraph:
Gone West! Over the purple
hills and beyond the softly glowing
rim of life's day the worrior's spirit
takes its flight! Out of the morning,
across the white archways of noon,
tide, down to the sunset! Out of the
din and clamOr, out of the bitterness
and strife, out of the fierce passion OF
the combat, into the dreamless shadr
ows where shadows mark the path
ways to the stars! Beyond earth's
Idarkening horizon, through the cur
tanned gloom Of night, far upon the
shOrless sea of fadeless light! Out
Of the agony of Ife's Gethsemane,
over the Quaking summit of Cal
vary, into the realm of glory where
Gods banners never furl, where vic
tory is sure! So the stainless knight
of a stainless cause moves down the
west, where earth's last glimmer
fades and dies, and into Gods spread
ing dawn, whose light is eternal,
whose breath is cool and sweet.

Bishop Quayle Wants Germans t
... Get Their Due.

William A. Quayle of the Methodist
Episcopal church, speaking at the
City club luncheon in st. Louis last
week said any peace commission OF
the American people which does not
make the German people pay to the
uttermost farthing is not peace
commission of the American people
and that until such time as the
kaiser is tried and executed for MUIR
der, justice will not have room To
sway in the world"
That is not hate" he said. st is
justice. The man who does not as
sent to that procedure has a multi
ated moral sense, or he has no NOR
al sense to mutilate.
I'VE fought the German people and
we must in fealty to the world hold
the German people to strict account
for their indecency. Not to be square
and honest to the German people.
now and to mete out to them justice
will be to mete out injustice to the
tomorrows of the world. Not to mete
out punishment to Germany now is
not to love, it is sentimentality.

DEBORAH PUBLIC OPINION, DEBORAH, IOWA
HOW TO ASSURE PEACE.
At Coming Peace Conference just
and Complete Indictment Against
Germany Should be Pre-
scented.

The great problem is how to set
tie affairs in Germany so that that
nation will never again start a war
of conquest. We can not forever
keep troops there. We may take away
their fleet and level their fortifica-
lions, but they can build new. There
must be some change of spirit.
1t is still an open question how far
the course of the German people has
been due to the evil purposes of
their own hearts, or to the decep-
lions practiced upon them by their
rulers. But anyway they have from
the beginning been given a garbled
and false version of the war and it's
origin.
If the Germans know the whole
truth about this war, and, about the
events that shall succeed it as time
goes on, they are much less likely to
start another.
The allies should now insist upon
a bona fide free press, so that any
German paper that is willing to tell
the truth can freely do So
Then at the coming peace con-
ference a just and complete indict-
ment against Germany should be pre-
scented. 1t should bring out the cleac
proof that Germany started the war,
the rupture of treaties and agree
ments, the perfidies of, the German
spy system, the outTages of the army
and navy, the killing of women aai
babies. the whole story of barbarity.
Then the allied powers should insist
that this truthful record be freely
printed all over Germany, so that the
truth can at last come home.
Wicked and cruel as the Germans
have been, yet the truth is a very
powerful weapon. 1t would indeed
be surprising if many of them were
not convinced by the publication of
such a record. If the freedom of the
press is thoroughly established, II
will not be so easy again for military
leaders to sway the people by their
falsehoods.

Is there any reason why the kind
