LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Army . eenef.t 10 Younu Men


 Mir Editor: I would like to have a space in your paper to tell the henefit of the army to young men. 1 have found out by experience. and expefi- ence is the best teacher. that the army is f5 per cent. better than the city.
 In the city there are so many things which will make some young men go wrong and forget God, home, church and almost themselves, but in the army, instead of ruining the young man, builds him up and makes man of him. It will mean much profit to him in the end. In the city there is the saloon, poolrootn and numerous other places not the place for young men to go, but the army has nothing like that. The army builds up the fallen, the outcast and makes men Of them all
 It develops the brain and gives the young man a good thinking power, but of all things young men should not forget God. When alone with stran- gers, down hearted and no one to com fort you, just have a little talk with God. He is always with you, and in the time of trouble, and no one to talk to, just nave little talk with Him and He will make it all right. Young men, this is Gods war and war for Christianity. Do your bit, fight for a noble cause.

 -and he'll feel that some thing is de- cidedly all wrong.
 Tn trying to figure it out naturally he must blame some one, and if you can find anybody, fan or woman, who of his own free choice ever blamed himself you are some Conan Doyle! My child, George will blame VOL, He will say to himself, How Dorothy has changedi What can have come over her in these. months of absence! How indifferent and unattentive and selfish she is! She never saw that I needed the ashtray, she let me get up and get it myself! Actually expected me to wait on her! Heavens, how I have been deceived in that girl!
 And really, Lillian" continued the girl in purple plaids to the one with the curis, words fail me when it comes to you! A lieutenant is going to be So much more difficult than a captain He hasn't had so long time to get used to it as the man who has worked on up, and when a man is solemn over a dignity bestowed upon him he is just as troublesome as a baby who insists on your jumping and acting scared every time he says 'Boo' at you and then nearly dies laughing enjoying himself at each oc- currence and keeps it up without in- terruption hours at a time.
 Why, Mabel HaTtwick's brother was home last week for visit and when he went away the family collapsed with nevous prostration! The dear kept them moving like grasshoppers totally unconscious of his iniquity, and they were so glad to see him that they double quicked joyously-- but you know perfectly well. girls, that you can't act that way with a fiance or a husband without totally spelling him l for the household.

lieve that the country vii; thorough sy approve of the action taken. Even those who are affected if they are the right kind of patriots and want to do their part the same as others will be entirely satisfied to do their part in that way as we'll as in others.
 The very fact that a person holds political office furnishes no excuse for skipping him when it comes to col lecting war taxes which are supposed to be levied upon all people. It is a we'll known fact that office holders whether national. state. county or city are as a rule pretty well paid for their labors. The income tax should apply to them the same as to other salaried men and the action of the lower house of congress in this re- spect must be regarded as based on the policy of fairness and justice to all

SOME POSSIBILITIES

"This is an awful life" saidathe girl with the curls. And don't care who knows it! I'm perfectly dead tired of going to the movies with girls and buying sodas with girls and talking with girls and seeing girlsi I'm weary of being bright and chatty to my fathers friends and having them look over, above and around me toward the cigar jar or the smoking stand or the pile of papers they have to go drought"
 They'll be back" counseled the girl with the dimple cheerfully. NO war was known to last forevert"
 Don't you know anything at all?" demanded the young person in the purple and white skirt with plaids as big as handkerchief. She shook her head sadly and reacEed for the lemon ade pitcher. Poor, foolish creatures that you are, butterflies with not a thought of the morrow! Why, when all those men get back"
 The girl is the purple plaids sighed hugely. If you were naturally observ- ant like myself" said she, you would have realized ere this that all our brothers and their college friends whom we cheered frantically as they marched away are coming quite diff ferent and if you think life is hard now you are going to think you have struck the treadmill then!
 Do you suppose for one second that your George is going to trembie at your frown and hang breathlessly upon your every word as you had trained him to do before he went away? My child, George is a captain and for weeks and months he has been saying deep down in his throat 'Grrrrrmp! Errrrow! And immedi- ately scores of his fellow beings have jumped sideways in their eagerness to grrrrrmp to Georges entire satis- faction.

PUSHING A WORRIED ENEMY.

No mistake was made by the Ger man general who gave warning to -his men that continuance of the al- lied offensive with harder blows was 10 be expected. Just where the pres sure would be exerted he may have been kept guessing but it is evident that one point at least is about St. Quentin against which the British and French are now making steady and consistent progress.
 It is not to be supposed that the pCncturirg Of the Hindenourg line is going Co be as easily accomplished as the forcing of the enemy back to that defense position. It is going to mean st!n fighting. just such as is being experienced at the present time but with sufficient strength. with the troops in high spirit enthused by the success which has attended their ef- forts in the recent past and with the Knowledge Of the weakened morale among the opponents, even though he Teutons have been ordered not to give a foot of ground in the defense Of the Hindenburg line. they are go- ing forward with such persistency that it appears to be impossible for ihe German high command to keep them from their object.
 Each advance which is made 10 the north and south of St Quentin is making the task of holding that place an the more difficult. The defenses are such fhat they cannot be beaten down in a minute but they are falling and each day Is placing the allies in much more advantageous positions for accomplishing their purpose. Gen sral Foch appears to have the steam roller working in admirable shape and no small contribution to the success In inc west is being made by the menace Co the Metz region which has been caused by the sudden ard suc- tessful advance of the Americans. The Teutons in their present position nave much to think and worry about.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

When the allied forces decide to go ahead everything ahead has to give way even if it is the Hindenburg line
 Of course in these days of all kinds of influenza, if you sneeze twice and feel a tickle in the throat, you've got it.
 The man on the corner says: Even people who do not believe in it find it necessary at times 10 practice thrift.
 If Bulgaria is throwing its troops into the fighting along the western front 1t must understand what the consequences will be.
 The wholesale slaughter by the bol- sheviki indicates that the shortage, of ammunition may be the only thing that prevents it from being worse.
 The idea of the peace discussion may have originated in Austria, but even Vienna admits that Germany knew about it.
 Two ships a day are now being turned out by the plants of the ccun- try. It shows a speeding up that is certainly encouraging.
 Not knowing where he is going tc strike next. General Foch is keeping the enemy on the anxious seat and the worry is having it's effect. When General Pershing starts tc mosey up the Moselle the German high command might as well pick III stakes and retire back of the Rhine Even if Lenine and Trotzky have not delivered Russia into Germany: hands, getting Russia out of the wal was worth all that 1t cost the impe. rial government.
 Many heroic deeds have been at ] tributed to the American soldiers bu | 1t is impossible to overlook the ae of the fellow who married a Frencl widow with nine children. Not only the German soldiers bu the people in German cities are com ing to realize that the approach o the American forces means more thal they have been led to believe.
 Ot course Germany is herating tn dual monarchy for the rebuff hande 1t by the allies but unless we ar greatly mistaken Germany will yet b 'coing it's utmost to shortcut the in | evitable.
 Absence without leave from a mili tary camp is not a trivial matter whe hVe years at hard labor, dishonorabl discharge from the army and the for feiture of all pay is handed out as sentence.

THE WAY TO GET PEACE.

It is interesting to note that the impression prevails in some quarters that the answer which the allied na- tions have given to the plea of Aus tria- Hungary for an unbinding peace discussion in secret will not end the efforts of the dual monarchy in be- half of peace. The idea is that while the first peace kite quickly snapped it's string that others will follow Time will of course demonstrate the cor rectness of this attitude which is un- doubtedly based upon the fact that Austria has for long time been giving forth peace rumblings that there is a growing dissatisfaction among the Czecho-Siovaks and the Jugoslavs and the belief that the hardships already suffered by the people of that country are such that they want no more and are desirous of pulling away from tke German domination which acts like a millstone about their necks.
 As long as the move was a failure Germany dodges all responsibility in connection with it but if there is any foundation for the report it can be expected that there will be something in the way of 6 peace move under taken at the converting of the reich stag. What form it will take or how much propaganda will precede it can not be told, but it Is perfectly plain that if there was any impression among the German war lords that the allies could be split on the matter of reace or if there was any likelihood of their jumping at the opportunity of talking about peace. it has been dissipated by the manner in which the Austrian proposition was quickly and fiatly turned down. There can ba no question about the ability of the central powers obtaining peace right now if they want it but they must understand that it can be obtained only on the terms which the allies have put forth. There can be no German made peace or anything that resembles it. Even Belgium shows that.

THE NEW AMBASSADOR

Following the resignation of Anbas- hdor Page, who was sent to the Court of s. James in the early days N the Wilson administration. it was indicated that the choice Of his suc- sessor might fali where it was not ex- pected, and such appears 10 be the rase in the choice of John ". Davis or West Virginia. the present solicitor general of the United States.
 Mr. Davis is a lawyer of unuues- doned ability. IL was because of his qualifications that he was selected for his government office after his first term In congress and as collector gen. eral he has for the last five and 2 haif years shown that no mistake was made when he was selected for that position. Thus it Is perfectly evident hat he will be thoroughly aualiae5 rom the legal standpoint for admin hterins the duties of his new office. As a diplomat, however MT. Davis s an unknown quantity, but inas- much as the ambassador to Great Britain is one of the largest and most important posts which the president has to hll as it is Of grsater import ance than ever under the present war conditions and as 1t is vital that the Administration should have the bes. possible representation there. it is to ae supposed that President Wilson has satisfied himself upon these points with more than the usual tnoroushness in making this appoint ment The responsibility rests upon ain and it Is to be supposed that ft- ness rather than politics which is said .o be adjourned has governed in this case. It is certainly to be hoped SC Tor the good Of the country.

NEwARK,s FlRErRAP.

Once again has the country shud- dered at the burning to death of young women and other employees who were trapped in a factory building where they were employed. There was per- haps not so much surprise over the fact that fire occurred in the New ark button factory, for it was not fireproof structure and the department where the blaze is believed to have started was just the kind to furnish the malNngs of a bad fire once the lacquer fumes became ignited, as it was that such a building should not have been adequately provided with means of escape under just such con ditions.
 The factory was not without some protection of this kind. but when it was possible for a fire to prevent the employees from getting to the stair way, or when the fire escapes were SO placed that it was possible for flames shooting out from windows be- low the floor where the people were at work to bar them from it's use, it is quite evident that there might just ls well have been no stairway or fire escape at all. The very purposes which they were expected to serv5. were nullitied and it must have been evident in advance that they would be under such conditions.
 It is apparently another case of giv- ing too little attention to such mat ters until there has been a loss of life and this in spite of the fact that there have been plenty of instances of similar character. That there is to be an investigation is to he ex- pected, but how long will it be before like fretraps are disclosed? It's d glowing lesson in the need of preveH- ticn.

 Beans: Soak s4lted beans for two to three hours, and cook them until they are tender, the time required de- pending on the condition of the beans when packed. Season them by cook ing with bacon or salt pork and serve them as fresh beans or chill them and use them in salad. -.
 Reets; Before using salted beets, soak the min cold water for two hours, changing the water once or twice if necessary to remove the salt. Soak ing for longer time is likely to cause a loss of color. Cook the bsets until they are tender, peel them, and serve them as buttered or pickled heets or use them in salads.

4 WISE DECISION.

It did not require the lower house sf congress 10 debate very long over The proposition 10 eliminate the amendment 10 the federal revenue bill which would exempt judges and fed sral state and county office holders from the federal income tax. From the way in which the matter was de- -ided it is quite evident that there was attle division in the house on the question. but that it was the opinion of the big majority that there should be no exemptions in matters of this kind, that all who come under the provisions and have sufficient income should pay. and that there was no mere reason for granting them an ex- smptlon than there would be in ex- smpung any other salaried man.
 And there are good reasons to be-

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Cleaning up a city accomplishes much more than making it pleasing to the eyes of citizens or strangers who may travel through it's streets. It makes it better fitted for all it's peo- ple to live in. It makes better citi> zens of people who have been living in places that have not been kept sight ly or healthful.
