Ones With Grit Will Win.
Everybody Suspicious.

Don't fail to reverse the peace-tine rule
Remember that in war everybody is sus-
picious until he is proved innocent, espa-
cially in a country of such mixed popula-
ton and such variety of tradition as the
United States.
Don't forget that Germany has made
use OF spies to an extent far beyond the
dreams of any other nation, in peace or
war. This country contained thousands Of
secret agents Of Germany long before the
war began. Thousands have since been
added. not to mention the fact that among
the millions of Germans, Austrians, Hun
garians and other hostile nations countless
enemies exist eager to be of any possible
service to their native lands and against
their adopted country.
Don't mako it difficult for your men,
folk to do their duty. There are times
when tears are reasonable.
Don't relax your vigilance. Keep vigil
liant first concerning your own utterances;
next, the words and actions of your neigh
bors and tho people You encounter wher-
ever you go.
Don't permit yourself or others to slight
the flag or ridicule the sacred ideals of
our republic

THERE WILL BE NO ,ARMISTICE.
n reply 70 the proposal Of the inn
5perial chancellor Of Germany for d
cessation Of hostilities, President
Wilson makes it clear that there can
be no armistice until the armies Of
the central powers are withdrawn into
their own territories.
The last paragraph Of the Presi-
dents note is a little ambiguous. It
is as follows:
The President also feels that he is
justified in asking whether the inn
perial chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities Of the
empire who have so far conducted the
war.
It must be assumed that the chan
Icellor is speaking for the German peo-
pie as well as the constituted author
tiles of the empire" as there is only
one government in Germany at the
present time, and that government is
supposed to represent the German
people.

The biggest single handed Hun cap
ture made by an American soldier is
perhaps that Of Private John Rawlin-
son Of Texas. John, becoming by some
means separated from his unit, was
wandering around among the she'll
holes when he saw Hun dive into a
7dugout like prairie dog. Instead Of
running away, as would Fritzie,
John approached the hole and, in q
commanding voice, ordered the in
mates to Come out p. d. q" As John
stood at the mouth Of the dugUut ex-
pecting couple Of Huns to appear he
was surprised to find 81 vermin, in
Guiding three officers, emerge. They
had dropped their arms and, with
hands appraised, were crying Kane
rad!" John whipped the towards into
line, marched them into camp and was
given his receipt We would like to
see a lone Fritzie attempt to put over
one like this on men in an American
dugout.

The rate Of taxation for all state
purposes next year will be $3.50
on each $1,000 assessed as against
$5.0s this year. This has been
made possible by heavy increases
in inheritance tax revenue, which to-
tailed $2,467,6 $40 for the past two
years, and increases also in the as
sessed valuation of taxable property,
in gross earnings tax revenue and in

BRAVE TOM sCHALL.

+
Congressman Thos. D. Schall, who,
with Mrs. Schall, is delivering series
of lectures in the state, says he will
try to get into the service either as
an antiaircraft gun operator or tank
driver. Mr.. Schall says:
/ will not claim any exemption in my
QUESTIONABLE, and Hope they will give
me a chance to do one Of two things
that l am sure can do as well as
anybody, if not better. One is to drive
tank. You know they train those
tank drivers blindfolded, because they
can see nothing as they drive and must
go by signal could do that. But
believe / could fire an anti aircraft
gun at night better than man with
eyes. I was with a gun crew one
night that was trying to hit boche
airplape. They had to go by. the
sound Of the engine, and I kept telling
them that they were firing in
wrong direction. The ears of blind
man are more accurate, and when all
you can get is the rumble Of the en-
CINE, I am sure L could locate it bet
ter than the boys who see.
Here is a splendid example for
slackers who put forth all sorts of
pretexts to wriggle out Of serving
their countrya man devoid of sight
who is anxious to go into the thick Of
the fight SO that he may assist in
yanquishing the Hun. Let us give
Tom Schall the praise Of which he is
deserving and vote for his reelection.
