PROTESTS SPANISH MISSION.

Charles Stewart Dawson, chairman OF the
board of directors of the American Defense So
ciety has addressed letter to President VII
son protesting against the sending by SPAN OF
military mission to visit the American 'front.'
Mr. Dawson recalls the pronounced pro-Ger-
man sympathy of the Spanish military during
the war and argues that without in any way
casting discredit on the motives of the Spanish
government it is possible to see in the member
ship of such commission as is proposed the
presence of German agents. Some Spaniards
who are not soldiers but appropriated observers
have recently visited the allied front and their
reports are decidedly favorable to the allied
cause. It may be mere speculation but the
thought suggests itself that this military mis-
sion may have its motive in some desire to re-
flute the civilian testimony which the Spanish
press is carrying to the efficiency of the allied
war power. Mr. Davison's protest deserves
from the administration.

TODAYs BIT OF VERSE

ODE
o, tenderfy the naughty day
Fills his blue urn with fire;
One morn is in the mighty heaven,
And one in our desire.
The cannon boou1s from town to town,
Our pulses beat not less.
The joy-bells chime their udings down,
Which children's voices bless.
For He that flung the broad blue fold
O'ermantling land and sea,
One-third part of the sky unrolled
For the banner of the free
The men are ripe of Saxon kind
To build an equal state,
To take the statue from the mind
And make Of duty fate.
United States! the ages plead,
Present and Past in under-soug,
Go put your creed into your deed,
Nor speak with double tongue.
For sea and land don't understand
Nor skies without frown
See rights for which the one hand fights
By the other cloven down
Be Just at home; then write your scroll
OF honor Ger the sea,
And bid the broad Atlantic roll
a ferry OF the free
And henceforth there shall be no chain,
Save underneath the sea,
The wires shall murnur through the main
Sweet songs Of liberty.
The conscious stars accord above,
The waters wild below,
And under, through the cable wove,
Her fiery errands go.
For He that worketh high and wise,
Nor pauses in his pain,
VIII take the sun out OF the skies
Ere freedom out OF man

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Davenport Democrat: People no
longer lack plenty of reminders that
we are at war. Even the late circus
parade, keeping people waiting a
couple of hours on the street for a
sight of the biggest lion in captivity
and the only baby giraffe, is sign
that the man power of the nation is
otherwise engaged than in driving
circus wagons
Anamosa Eureka: If politics will
really interfere with the conduct Of
the war won't they interfere with the
best interest of the country at any
time? In other words, will clean
political contests, honestly conducted,
interfere in any way with whipping
the kaiser? Should there be any sort
of politics at any time?
Marion Register: When the Ger
man soldiers go up against the Amer
lean troops they remember Davy
Crocket's coon and conclude that
their time has come to uncondition-
ally surrender.
Rolfe Arrow: No, the war is not
over, but the turning point has been
reached and the American boys help
ed to sharpen it
Alton Democrat: The fortunes OF
war are determined in these days of
machines largely by getting a good
ready. When the allies have men
enough, guns enough and the COM
mand of the air. they go right through
the enemy lines without difficulty.
Cedar Rapids Republican: One
needs not 20 be told that the "neu-
trails" in Holland, Switzerland. and
Denmark are measurably glad that
the Germans are at last getting few
blows on their stupid heads A
humbled Germany win be safer for
all those little countries that cringe
on the German border. The death of
bully will be relief to all the small
boys and girls among the nations.
