Is patriotic duty. Their demand
and value justify the most rigid
means for the determination of dis
ease. Sometimes we cannot prevent
outbreaks of livestock diseases on
our farms, but we can and should
always use every preventive measure

taken when the disease first makes
It's appearance.

CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS.

Expressing many of the sentiments
given in his Oskaloosa Memorial Day
address, Hon. LATE Young says in his
( Des Moines Capital:
THE so-called conscientious OBJ
jector' has caused the government
much trouble. Every cantonment
has some of these DIRECTORS. men who
claim they have conscientious scru-
pies against fighting and killing. There
are more than one hundred of these
conscientious objectorsf 1at Camp
Dodge. To sayIthati rthesedm are

press IL. In many cases they refuse
to work In all cases they refuse to
drill or receive military training. They
become common loafers. The mill
tary officers do not know what to do
with them. The government feeds
them. The effect upon the other
members of the camp is bad. 1t rep
resents characterization. These OBJ
jectors at Camp Dodge became such
nuisance that the Iowa Council OF
National Defense has taken action,
looking TO the sending of committee
to Washington TO see what could be,
done. Before this committee could
go. however, the war department took
the matter up and appointed Major

PATRIOTIC CONVENTION.

The Republican State Convention TO
be held in Des Moines on July 10, is
to be a big patriotic meeting. There
is but little real work for the conven-
ton to do. A state superintendent of
public instruction must be nominated.
Nominations were made in al other
state offices. Resolutions and plat
form are to be adopted and that's all
their is to it.
There will be. no criticism of the
present administration if the state
central committee ideas are carried
out. All such criticism will be post
poned until the end of the war. If it is
to be big loyalty meeting, loyalty to
the government and loyalty to the re-
publican party must be the keynote
the leaders say and the people have no
time for partisan politics.
Horace Carter of Corydon, who has
been chosen permanent chairman OF
the state convention, was being groom
ed by several members of the state
central committee for temporary chair
man but when it was found that the
majority of the members wanted Gov
ernor Harding for that honor Carriers
friends OF course gave way. In order

the convention.
With the Des Moines hotels already
crowded due TO the large number OF
visitors because of the cantonment the
hotels will have TO plan some to take
care of 1000 delegates. The old Saw
cry hotel which has been the head
quarters for all political gatherings for
more than quarter of a century is
out of commission. The building of a
new hotel has been planned but at
present the work is tied up in law suits
over old leases.
County conventions throughout the
state will be held on June 29. Delegat-
es to the state convention on the basis
of one for each 200 votes cast will be
chosen at these county conventions.

WAR COSTS. In SHELLS.

| Eleven per cent of our total steel
production this year will go into
shells alone, and this output would
not be an excessive supply, even
though all of this ammunition could
be given to our own army" says Floyd
w. Parsons.
Should we take over one hundred
miles of battle front and use all the
shells that will be produced under
this years program, we could fire on
iy $3.50 shellys day, assuming an
average weight of forty pounds for
each projectile.
Such artillery activity would land
more than one shell on every foot of

HOW GERMANY WON TURKEY.

Germany brought Turkey into the
war by the same INSCRIPTIONS meth
DDS she has used in all her dealings
in the last four years. Ambassador
Morgenthau, in his "reminiscences OF
life in Constantinople, now being pub
lished in the Worlds Work, gives a
graphic account of the intrigues con
Quoted in the Turkish capital by the
German agents.
TIL event that clinChed the German
power in the Ottoman Empire was the
arrival at Constantinople of the two
powerful German battle cruisers, the
Goeben and Breslau. These vessels
were taking supplies at Messina when
the war came. The British and French
and 4 superior naval force in the Med
iterranean and they blocked all the
exits except that through the Dardan
Giles. Apparently they supposed the
German ships could not take refuge
there without suffering internment, as
Turkey was still neutral. Their ex
pectations was that the vessels would
run for the Austrian port of Pola.
Instead the Goeben and Breslau
raced for Constantinople, with the
British ships in pursuit. But the pur
suers gave up when they reached the
Dardanelles, as international law for
babe conflict in the neutral waters
The Germans paid no attention to in
ternational law, and at once began op
erations against the Russians in the
Black Sea, using Constantinople as q
base. 1t was a raid on Odessa direct
ed by the German admiral Souchor
that brought Turkey in the wal
against Russia.
Ambassador Morgenthau believes
there was a possibility that the de
struction of the Breslau and Goeben by
the British vessels in the Darnanelles
would have kept Turkey neutral. The
British threw away an opportunity be
cause they believed in the validity Of
international law The Germans won
Turkey to their side by disregarding
all scruples and putting their depend
ence on force alone.

resemblance to beefsteak sandwich
does not even use all of the voltage"
OF the soy-bean flour. This bread had
been made from mixture of 30 per
cent soy-bean flour and 40 per cent
wheat flour. 1t is extremely high in
the protein element and is really a
substitute for protein foods such as
meat and cheese.
Some people call soy.bean flour a
new" food but it is far from that, for
the soy.bean was used in China and
Japan in the dim dawn Of history and
has been used in those lands ever
since. Only recently, however has
this bean become of importance in the
worlds commerce and only within the
past few years has its food value been
recognized in the United States.

LEG IS AMPuTATED
VICTIM OF ACCIDENT RALLIES

Just how the crossing accident oc-
CURED that cost Harry Reynolds, son
of Guy Reynolds, his left leg Monday
on South Seventh street when an M.
& st. l.. passenger train hit a milk
wagon driven by the boy, may never
clearly be understood Harry does
not know No one saw the mishap
itself excepting the engineer.
A crash was heard by people at a
distance. The train was stopped in
less than it's own distance. The en-
CINE hit the wagon fairly and mashed
it to bits. One of the horses was so
badly injured it had to be killed. The
engine picked up the boy and car
ried him over the crossing and inside
the right-of-way fence east of the
street.
Help was not long in reaching the
boy lying on the ground at the side
of the track. His first word to those
coming up was for his employer rath-
er than himself. Some one please
take care of the cash receipts" The
boy had been lifted up by this time
ana IL was seen that MS manSleu
limb was held only by a shred of
flesh. Broken bottles, coins and
wood were scattered on the ground
along the track and where the boy
was lying the crushed bones of the
| leg were scattered.
AS the unfortunate lad was picked
up he turned pale as he said: IL want
my mamma" and lapsed into uncon-
seriousness. He was hurried to the
Mahaska hospital in the automobile
of J. w. Taylor @
Amputation was necessary and the
| limb was removed about six inches
below the knee. The boy rallied
splendidly following the double shock
that of the accident and operation
and came back strongly today. No
further injuries have thus far devel-
oped but the boy Is still too sick for
| a minute examination. He was doing
well today, better really than might
be expected under the circumstances
and he will come out all right

The IOWA PRIMARY.

the primary election law, as now con-
stituted, to meet the expectations and
confident predictions of it's advocates.
Adyices from over the state forecast

or amend the primary election laws in

The Burlington Hawk-Eye, while
favoring radical changes. does not adj
vocate an entire abandonment OF the
principle of the primary election. If
based upon the old colonial idea, the

"the rule of the petople." With the
TOW nship, or the voting precinct, as
the starting point in the electoral sys.
ter. the voting could be interested and
would exercise intelligent action in
the nomination of delegates to county
congressional judicial and state con
yentions. This would give the ad
vantage of both systematic old
caucus and convention, and the pres
ent primary election.
Conventions whose delegates are Sc
lected by popular vote at primaries
will not only be an expression of the
will of the voters. but will come near
err. as rule, the selection of can
didates the best qualified and most
deserving. And in state elections, es
pecially, will it afford political parties
a better distribution over the state OF
