GIVE THEM THE LIMIT.

There is much satisfaction to de-
cent people in the recent announce
ment that the government has begun
a nationwide crusade against the
vampire war brides. The fact that
there are literally scores of women
who have married several soldiers
apiece for the sake of their war al
lotments and insurance, fills every
honest patriot with deep sense OF
shame and indignation. To dupe
with false and mercenary marriage
VOWS those boys who are giving
their all for liberty and decency is
one OF the lowest and meanest OF
crimes!
Those bigamous war brides may
have felt fairly secure, hiding their
wedding rings and concealing from
the community the fact of their
marriages, hoping perhaps that the
men they so criminally deceived
would never return from the field OF
battle.
They are being found out, Cases
are now prepared against 100 such
women. The War Risk Bureau has
worked out a system for checking up
on people receiving soldiers pay.
The postoffce department is watch
ing closely the deliveries of the
monthly allowances.
Just punishment will be meted
out to these human vultures. They
will be prosecuted for forgery and
bigamy. The marriages, of course,
will be annulled, the payments
stopped, and perhaps there will be
internment or sentence to federal
prisons. The federal authorities can
hardly put in force punishment too
severe in the eyes of patriotic, decent,
right thinking folk.

1t is literally true, as General
March has said, that the 100000
Americans now under arms are the
cream of the nation. So high are
their physical and mental qualifi-
cations that almost any other belli-
gerent would be glad to get the skim
milk. Germany would find material
for a million or two of soldiers out
of our discarded candidates.
The centennial anniversary OF the
launching of the first American
built sea-going steamship has ust
been celebrated. There has been 4
pretty considerable growth in this
century. And judging from the pres
ent rate of construction, how many
ocean going steamships do you sup
pose we'll have hundred years
from now?
Hollanders say that few people

Of the Germans in knowing pre-
cisely what will end it.

difficulty in getting voters to the
polls and the constitutional coll
vention in that state is considering
an amendmen providing temporary
disfranchisement for those who fail
to vote
An event OF political importance
will be the convention of the Ma
tionai Association of Republican
State Chairmen, to be held at Chi
cago, September 2. This conven-
ton, which will be held for an ex-
change OF ideas and counsel in re-
gard to the management of the COM
ing campaign, will be attended by
the officials of the national COM
mittee.
Primary results in the Western
states indicate to the politicians in
Washington that the people are
practically unit behind the admin
istration on the war. Representa-
tives Shackelford of Missouri and
McLemore and Slayden of Texas,
Democrats, and Woods of Iowa and
Dillon of North Dakota have been
defeated in the primaries. These
men voted against the draft and for
the McLemore resolution.
Although California went for
Woodrow Wilson in 1916 and set
tied the presidential question, a re-
cent registration by parties shows
it to be strongly Republican. Oi
total OF l,15l,S registered voters,
OIL ,722 registered as Republicans,
326, ,567 as Democrats, lS,645 as Pro
gressives, 1880 as Socialists, 2S,79l
as Prohibitionists, $40 as Union La
bor, 6S as members of other parties,
and l26,4S3 declined to state any
party affiliation.
Guesses are already being made
as TO the result OF this falls con-
gressional elections. The Demo
ocratic guess is that the next con-
gress will be Democratic, because
the people want to indorse the pres
ident and his war measures. The
Republicans guess that there will be
an overturn and that the next con-
gress will be Republican. because
the people are not in accord with
President Wilson and want a change
OF administration. Unbiased peo-
pie are guessing that there will be
no landslide either way, and that
the margin between the two par
ties in the next congress viii be,
as il is in the present congress, ex-
ceedingly narrow.
The first big political battle of
the year will be fought in Maine.
On September Q. there is to be an
election of one senator and four
members of the house of represen-
tatiyes. The election is significant,
because of the bearing the
results will have upon the elections
to be held in the rest of the states
in November. on the outcome OF
which depends the control OF the
next senate and house. The candid

from the broken walls. The army, as
they advanced, used all the wood for
fires to cook their meals. We used the
larger timbers, roof-rafters, ETC., to fiji
up shell holes and to plank muddy
