German Money and American Newspapers

It Is no startling disclosure made in tracing the money by which the Washington Times was bought that the liquor interests and pro-Germanism are in ympathy. that if not identical. they on the same side. It will not be easy though to prove that the Times since its ownership by Mir Brisbane has been pro-German. It has certainly been pro Adminstra- ton more conspicuously than any other newspaper n the country with the exception of the Hearst apers which have out-ved all administration organs within Inc last eight nine months.
 Nor could one gain impression from the Times whatever the source of it's purchase money that it specially favored the liquor interests.

The Law and the Ma iority

Our state laws in the past regarding appointments and succession office have not always been fully regarded The constitution has always been allowed be bar to the things that politicians and their friends have wished and were able to do. We have heard much pratng of the constitution and the statutes. and even the spirit them when they on the side of the majority but when they were not the majority has blithely gone its if there no laws and constitution.
 The minority has generally taken it out in futile protesting and when the thing done it al- lowed to stand The minority rightly reasoned that public opinion had not been aroused and that the people in the did not about it way another So it has been easy to get away with it.
 We have situation with respect to the succession the office of governor in which believe the people have been awakened. And be- leve that they will be insisent that the constitution and the law shall be complied with They will regard with mpatience any effort to adjust the law venienty to the situation but will demand that the situation shall be fitted strictly to the law

Unloyslty

There not many people suppose, different kinds of loyalty differing degrees of loyalty Loyal ty is far less complex thing that it has been de- scrbed to be. It Is steadfastness not toward man a party but toward a country. It is not matter of percentage either. We hear much of 100 per cent Amcricanism. That is a catch phrase nd nothing more "The 100 per cent is quite superfluous. Nmericanism is pure it is nothing. There can be no 9s per cent Amercanism. That would be only a description of something that is not Americanism qt an

SONGS OF THE WINDS

Songs of the west wind whispering listen. The murmuring waves of the golden grain; The lisp of rivers that ripple and glsten Filled to the brm with the nights wild rain. Steward going to again, Pouring the torrents of spring on the acres Fallow and fertile. The wide worlds bread Harvested by the busy rakers, Cleaners afied when the dawn is red Wind of the west where the leaning sheaves Darken the shadows daylight leaves Or heap the granary under the caves, Sing the song to us and over, Happy harvests and multifold Sweeter than breath of thyme clover,
 Western wind sheaves of gold. Wind of the south from the wide prairie, Mesquite barren and cactus lean. Where the fleet herds browse and the coyote wary Pierces the night with a note too keen And the brown plains grass grows all between Fields where the wild sage blows and pillows, Purple of jade; And the bending cottonwoods touch the willows And the water holes gmmer in light and shade Then swinging up from land of drought And on by the bayous flowing south, There by the wandering rivers mouth, White is the sod with the cotton blossom Winter the lint that has broken it's pod And lies like the sad earth's bosom Fresh and fair from the hand of God, Wind of the north from the long lakes sweeping Down to the meadows and hills of corn over the creeks where the perch are leaping, And the mill wheels hum at the break of morn; Hills where the clover is newly shorn; And sharply pungent old-world gorse is The hay that the wagons have hurried home And under the steady feet of the horses The furrows grow in the loose black loam And ever the amber tassels seize
 The wings of every rotous breeze
 To fling gonfalons of golden sleaze,
 Sken and soft, to the earths far borders; August heat but hastens the days
 When the hungry herds and the empty larders Shall be filled with the Indians maize" Wind of the east-ah, east wind blowing Long, long leagues from land o'erseas; Empty hands that know no sowing,
 Passionate pleading hands these
 Palms outstretched to the seas An, the heart of France is thing to cherish But her werewolf, Hunger cannot be slain Till out of our largess. less she perish
 We hasten the caravels of blessed grain. Till the seasharks teeth forever are drawn, And the dread great guns stilled at the dawn, We must hold high courage and carry
 So winds of the north, south, west your treasure Corn and cattle and golden grain
 Shall crowd the ships to their fullest measure And bread thus cast shall return again. Mary Lanier Magruder in the Saturday Evening Po

This war started off last year and the
year before and the early part of this
gear with the Germans engaged in fight
Ing chiefly underground. Whenever we
went over the top and after them we
found they were protected by dugouts
and the dugout was a very fine idea of
+, the German in the first place, but he had
70 give up that idea. He found that the
British and FRENCH armies in France
followed the barrage so closely that they
could not get up ont of their dugouts be-
fore we were on them. They were not
intended to stay in when the fight was
on The dugouts were built TO protect the
men during the big bombardment But
it seems that the German morale was in
some way affected. and the orders is
sued by the General Staff about the men
coming up when the fight started did not
quite hold good They did not seem 10
like to come up where the noise was.
And so we kept winning all along the
line wherever they had dugouts built.
Toward the end of this last year they
struck on a new system. They built
''pillboxes" and put them all over the
country.
A ''piHbox" is reinforced concrete
structure. Most of them are bout forty
feet long. fifteen feet wide and possibly
twelve feet high. The front and side
walls are about four feet thick. The top
