THE LIBERTY MOTOR.

The perfecting of the Liberty motor
was long and difficult undertaking
but the results attained have more
than justified the delay.
The Liberty motor has done more
to promote aviation warfare than any
thing else that has been invented since
the commencement Of the great war.
All newspaper readers can recall
the complaints that were made because
of the country's failure to rapidly
manufacture airplane engines, but few
are fully aware of the grand success
finally achieved.
An airplane requires an engine of
small weight and large power, and
for these qualifications the Liberty
motor excells all other make of en-
gines.
A Liberty motor develops horse
power for every one and four-fifths
pounds weight. A Ford automobile
weighs Is pounds for every horse pow
er it developes, and comparison be-
tween these two engines affords a
good idea of the wonderful capacity
of a Liberty motor A Liberty motor
weighing 800 pounds develops 435
horse power 1t is world beaten.

MAJOR HARRY B. CLARK
IN OVERSEAS UNIFORM
PROMOTION HALTs TRIP


Major Harry B. Clark Of Waterloo,
democratic candidate for Congress from
the Third District, has been promoted
from Captain to Major, in recognition Of
his superior work in training and his ex-
ceptional adaptability to military re-
quirements. ~ 9
!. Several Waterloo men have been pro-
Imoted to the rank of Major in the nom
Icombatant branches, but Major Clark is
1.-THE first to attain this rank in the fighting
branch. The promotion came purely as
a result of his ability as he had had no
previous military training, having de-
voted practically his whole life to the
promotion of agricultural interests in the
middle West through the farm papers.
Because there was no vacancy for an
office of as high rank as Major in the
division to which he was attached, and
which has now gone overseas, he has
been assigned to a new post. For the
present he is stationed at Camp Nevens,
Massachusetts,.
1t was clear from the tone of the letter
mentioning his promotion, that while
pleased with the higher commission, and
willing to assume the added responsible
tiles that go with it, he is disappointed in
having his arrival on the scene of active
fighting further delayed. Like every
other trained-to-the-m minute "Yank" the
Major is eager for the supreme test
Y Owing to his military duties Maic-
CLARK has been unable to give any time
to his campaign for seat in Congress,
but his many friends expect to carry on
an aggressive campaign in his behalf
during the closing weeks before election.

LincOln's Letter.

To Mrs. Bixby who lost Five sons
in the War of the Rebellion:
Dear Madam have been shown in
the files of the War Department a
statement of the Adjutant General of
Massachusetts, that you are the moth
er of five sons who have died glo-
riously on the field of battle. I feel
how weak and fruitless must be any
words of mine which should attempt
to beguile you from the grief of loss
SO overwhelming. But ] can not re-
frain from rendering to you the con-
ISOLATION that may be found in the
thanks of the Republic they died to
save. | pray that our Heavenly Faith
er may assuage the anguish of your
bereavement and leave you only the
cherished memory of the loved and
lost, and the solemn pride that must
be yours to have laid so costly sac
rifice upon the altar of freedom"

THE SPANISH INFLUENZA.

Coming at time like this the Span
ish Influenza is little less than a ca
lamity. Soldiers are by no means the
only ones who are afflicted by this
malady. The disease germs seem to
breed readily and become more deadly
wherever people assemble in large
numbers. Soldiers in environments
are for that reason the principal suf-
fers, because large numbers of them
are quartered in comparatively small
areas. Those who can should keep
out of crowds A chill then fever
with high temperature, running Of the
eyes, pain and aches and general
prostration are its initial symptoms.
Treatment cannot come too soon. 1t
can at least alleviate the pains and
perhaps avert pneumonia II it does
not at once cure the influenza.

ARCHBIsH0P IRELANp.

The death Of Archbishop Ireland,
who was one of the greatest Of Cath
Ollie churchmen in this or any other
country, is being widely commented
upon by men Of all denominations.

and, moreover, when with him, ! felt

u. 5. WANTS SEAMEN
President Makes Personal Ap-
peal for Experienced Men.
Asks Registrants TO Submit With
Questlonnaires Detailed Account
Of Experience.

Washington, Oct. 2.-All men who
have had any experience in seafaring
life were called upon, in personal ap-
peal by President Wilson, to submit
with their questionnaires detailed
account of such experience, so that the
government may know where to obtain
seamen when their services are re-
quired for the merchant marine.
The work of seamen is so vitality
essential, the president points out,
that they have been given deferred
classification in the draft. Every sea-
yuan and former seaman should not
hesitate to accept deferred classified
lion, he says, no matter how eager he
may be to join the fighting forces on
land and sea.

ALLIES SMASHING THE ENEMY ON
EVERY FRONT.

The past week has been replete
with glorious victories. No single
week since man first engaged in NOR
tai combat with his fellowman, has
such a titanic military conflict been
waged. Every day during the past
week the Allied armies in France
have continued to smash the enemy on
nearly every part of the battle line be-
tween the North Sea and Switzerland.
st. Quentin, the key to the sup
posedly impregnable Hindenburg line,
was captured yesterday, and that much
talked about line has been smashed
at so many places that it no long
er affords refuge for the retreat
ing Germans. Since the present drive
commenced in France, the British ar
my alone has captured 1858 pris-
oners and 1,4O0 guns. And during the
same period the French, Americans
and Befgians have probably captured
fully as many prisoners and guns as
the British. No army can long endure
such smashing blows. When driven
out of their Notifications, what will
become Of the Huns in the compare
lively level country east of the Hin
,denburg line? That is the problem
they will be called upon to solve dur
ing the coming week.
In the Balkans the Allies have put
Bulgaria out of the fighting during
the past week, and are forging ahead
to sever the railway lines through
Bulgaria, which connect Germany and
Turkey. If they are captured and
held. Turkey will in all probability
follow Bulgaria in the near future
with an unconditional surrender. And
the continued success of the Allied
armies in the Holy Land will help the
r. d y r 81
Unspeakable Turk to sue for peace
before he is completely overthrown.
And in Russia, that gang of crooks
and cut-throats called the Bolsheviki,
is getting what is coming to them.
The Japanese, and few other Allied
soldiers, are on their trail.
Behind the curtains of the coming
week events of the first magnitude are
obscured from our present view. The
hopes Of humanity are hanging in the
balance, but the scale is, certainly
inclining encouragely toward human
ity's side.

THE BOLSHEyIKI.

AS a result of German intrigue in
Russia a reign Of terror exists in that
unhappy country The Bolsheviki are
doing Germany's bidding and are
prosecuting a campaign Of wholesale
murder torture and destruction, and
famine and disease are supplementing
the work of the destroyers.
Germany desires the removal of the
educated Russians, the natural lead
ers Of the Russian people, that she
may seize and crack the whip over the
unlettered remnant, and colonize that
country after the war.

Napoleon was correct when he said:
"Old men for counsel but young men
for war" Here is a case in point:
These young Americans" wrote a
German major to his wife, in a letter
that some Of those unpleasant young
fellows took from him, along with his
spiked helmet, attack just as they
play their football games. Nothing
halts them, and they just keep COM
ing. Our old men are no match for
these youngsters who don't know
enough to be afraid

BULGARIA,s SURRENDER.

The Bulgarians were hungry; they
were dispoiled of their food by their
insolent German master; their armies
were being cut to pieces by the allies;
they surrendered Internationally be-
cause their position could not be
worse, they had nothing left worth
fighting for.
May heaven help the Allies to rush
forward and reap the fields they have
won during the past two weeks in the
Balkans and in Turkey.

When Germany removes the kaiser,
and gives the world guarantee that
neither he nor his six "kinglets" will
ever again menace the peace of man
kind, that will be soon enough to COM
mence to talk peace with that coun-
try. We can not sit down and dis
cuss peace terms with murders. Such
men could not be trusted to observe
any treaty they might sign. They
must be deprived of all power to harm
mankind before peace with Germany
is possible

The kaisers mentality is now quite
generally questioned and commented
upon. He is not a man of weak mem
tai powers, but he is man of abnor-
NAL mentality. A man who is blood
crazy; man who is mentally as
we'll as bodily deformed. He is the
kind of man who may do the rattle
