Allied War Council.
From the London Observer.

IIoil Zig LotluOil use SeI.
Once more, those who put their trust in
sea power as the ultimate agent Of VIC
tory are disappointed to find that no
place has been allotted to sailors on the
strategical staff of the newly formed war
council Of the allies. This is the more
strange, as the whole genesis Of the new
move is to bring about a unity Of strate-
gicai plan on all fronts. How questions
involving not only France and Italy, but
Salonica, Palestine, and Mesopotamia can
be solved without the continual aid and
guidance of those who understand sea
power ard Its workings, it is hard to un-
ierstand. The very idea of unity of front
postulates the full use of the sea in order
to counter balance the advantage pos
sessed by the enemy in his interior lines;
the advent of the American army in the
field and it's d~evelopmnt In the fitting
quarter, alike depend wholly on sea
power. Yet no British or American adj
miral is to sit with the generals. There
Is not. as yet, even a naval allied staff
working on parallel lines.
1t is noteworthy that the military cor
respondent of the Times, not noted hither-
TO as a "blue water man." has drawn at
tention to this mission, and criticised It
adversely. When all the faults and fail
ings alluded to by the prime minister in
his famous speech in Paris are analysed,
they come down to this one point: that
he men OF the navies ave never been
properly coordinated with that Of the
armies, and tina the navies have been
given a part to play which is, directly at
any rate, outside the main war plans of
the alliance. The particulariszn of which
complaint was made might nave been
largely avoided If sea power had been so
recognized.

From the Columbus Dispatch.
The scientists are said to be experiment.
ing with n machine to make people smile
AN electrical apparatus that is applied
to the nerves of the face and which, when
so applied, causes one to smile, whether
he feels like 1t or not, and, smiling, to
recover from whatever malady he is suf-
fering from. 1t reads like a fanciful story
but 1t is going the ounds
it seems that the scientists have de-
cided that melancholia can be treated by
machinery: that If the person suffering
from E1%elanchoia can be made to smile,
even artificially, he will recover from the
disease. So the electrical device has been
perfected and is being usd at the asyluns
where there are persons suffering from
melancholia, and with good results, ac-
COrding to the reports.

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
 OF JACKSON COUNTY:

Having been requested by large number of my friends from all sec tions of the county to become a can didate for representative, have con- sidered the matter for some time carefully and have concluded to per init my name to go on the ticket as a candidate for that office.
 It is an office which will not justi- fy candidate in mourning much out lay to make the campaign. Hence, l shall have to depend upon my friends, to a great extent, to carry my name favorably to the voters.
 The legislative function in our state government is carried on by the House of Representatives composed of one hundred members, the Senate composed of thirty-four members, and the governor who acts in an ad- visory capacity and has the veto power in certain instances. For this reason a single member of the house does not necessarily count for a great deal in determining the policies of our state.
 If nominated and elected l promise, to the best of my ability, to make you good representative.
 Respectfully,
 FRED R. SUITS.
