HELP THAT WOULD COUNT.

Iowa Forum: President Wilson, in
what appeared like the crisis of the
great battle on the western front,
sent to Field Marshal Haig letter
of personal congratulation upon the
magnificent fight which the British
army has been making in defense
against the massed onslaughts of the
German armies, and expressing con-
fidence that the British army under
Field Marshal Haig's command will
continue to meet successfully the
shock OF battle The president nearly
always states matters fortunately,
and his tribute in the case to British
valor and his confidence in British
steadfastness are, as we hope and be-
lievA warranted. Certainly their ex-
preston is gracious, and what the

SENTIMENT CRYsTALLIZING

Public sentiment is gradually cry.
stalking in favor Of universal mill
tary training and the national admin
istration will probably see the light
before many months pass and recede
from it's position of opposition. The
administration has been far behind
public opinion in nearly all war ac-
tivities and it is not discouraging to
friends of universal militaIl training
that the president and practically his
entire cabinet are against that policy
now. The president was elected be-
cause he kept us out Of war and he
appointed his cabinet from deserving
democrats known to be pacifists.
At the regular monthly meeting OF
The Fort Dodge Life Underwriters at
Fort Dodge a few days ago resolu-
lions, directed to Iowa's United States
senator's, demanding universal mill
tary training were adopted and
other organizations, as this right
and necessary policy takes fir
mer hold upon the public mind, will
do likewise and it is only a matter
Of time until the politicians see the
handwriting and fall into line.
A short time ago the Des Moines
Register contained long editorial
warning the republican party not to
accept the policy of universal military
training as a party tenent, insisting
that the party would have to meet
President Wilson as third term
candidate if such an issue were fore
ed. Such a drawing of party lines
would, we believe, insure the over
whelming success of the republican
candidate, because the people are
going to come to see the necessity of
such policy long before the ides of
1920, roll around. But
that doesn't matter. The republican
party must remain the party of ad-
vanced ideas and it must stand for
right principles, regardless of results
at the polls.

Information Reaches Food Admins.
traitor Deems That They are
Selling as low as 30 Cents
a Bushel.
ASKS PEOPLE TO USE THEM
Are Good Substitute for Flour and
Crop Must be Eaten to be
Saved.

Information has reached the Office
of Food Administrator Deems in
Burlington that there is an unusual
large supply of potatoes in Iowa, and
unless the people realize that it is
necessary to utilize the crop, some of
it is likely to go to waste.
T A letter from Forest City, says:
ri notice that much is made of news
item to the effect that potatoes have
dropped to &C cents bushel in Burl-
ington. They have been SO cents here
for three weeks and l am Informed
that there are hundreds in this vicin-
ity. Doubtless many of them will go
to waste" Also another letter from
northwestern Iowa says: "There are
about ten carloads of good potatoes
among the farmers here, and there
seems to be market for them. Please
let me know it there is not some
place where they may be used at a
reasonable price"
A letter from a Wisconsin woman
to Horace S. Rand, food commissioner
for Des Moines county, expresses
willingness to sell potatoes at SO
cents, delivered in Iowa, and she has
been asking 80 cents locally in vain.
Supply Large.
The supply of potatoes is large and
very reasonable prices should obtain
over all the state. Administrator
Deems is asking all the people to
cooperate with his department in en-
couraging the use of potatoes in
order to save wheat flour, which is
vitality needed by our Allies, and also
to save impending waste in the potato
crop itself
An effort will be made by the ad-
ministrator to enlist the cooperation

recent riots and strikes are not, in
so far as l have been able to ascer-
tain, more serious than those which
have been going on for the past two
years, and have wondered why such
full reports have been allowed to
circulate. l would imagine that they
had been circulated for the effect on
labor in other countries did not that
opinion suggest -subtlety quite for
eign to the German character as l
know it. These strikers are family
rows; they would not occur without
the complete confidence that they do
not weaken Germany before it's enc
mics. The war has become flesh and
blood.
There are only two kinds OF
strikers, riots or revolutions which
should consider as having a bearing
upon peace. The first would be re-
volt by the men in the trenches; the
other would be by, the women in the
munition factories. These two classes
are. the backbone of the war machine;
they are most carefully handled and.
generally speaking, so much better
off than they were before the war
that l should hold their detection as
nothing short of miracle. l may
be mistaken, but it is my firm present
opinion that Germany will not be
beaten from within; we might as we'll
make up our minds to that and save
ourselves a lot of, time and trouble.

The people of Hamilton county know

them. There are several right here
in Webster City who may think they

deceiving nobody but themselves.

GERMAN POINT OF VIEW.

Laura D. Herring in Leslie's Week
ly: Germany did not bring on this
war. She wants peace now. She has
always wanted peace and fought only
to save Germany from the destruction
which England and Russia had plan
ned for her. We Germans think we
have shown the world that Germany
can never be destroyed-we have
punished them enough for attacking
Us and they should know when they
are whipped"
That speech, or one nearly like 1t,
has been spoken to me many times
during the last two years in Germany.
It expresses concretely the attitude
of the general public Of that country
toward the war, but / do not lind
that this attitude is generally under
stood here.
Germany is shorter of food than IS
generally believed; the conditions IN
many respects are far worse than can
readily he imagined; dissatisfaction
with the war is widespread; the Ger
mans are much leess subservlent and
orderly than their government pro-
paganda has taught us to think they
are. and the German internal machine
is not the perfectly balanced, smooth
working mechanism which Americans
imagine it to be. German officials
make mistakes and the people know
that they make mistakes.
But there is hardly single person
in all Germany who is not certain
that the fatherland is fighting defen-
sive war for its very life, that Eng
land, France and Russia were the
real aggressors, and that Germany
struck the first blow only to avoid be-
ing overwhelmed. | believed that my

happening must, be judged with their
fundamental ideas in mindss5 When
the German says: mo annexation and
no indemnities" he thinks he is mag
unanimous in not keeping that which
has already been taken by him; when
he riots or strikes it is ever with the
same thought: We have beaten them;
why keep hammering?" @
The single source of dissatisfaction
is food; if food we're cheap and plen-I

4 BRAVE MOTHER.

Herman 'Hegedorn, of The Vigilan-
ties: Regimental Sergt. Major William
B. Jenkins, 904th Field Artillery, is
dead at Camp Upton, but his soul is
marching on. 1t is a question indeed
Whether'i in death he may not do more
to defeat the Germans than he could
ever have done in life. For his
death has brought from his mother
an utterance of stirring patriotism
that is sure to arouse to greater effort
the defenders of America abroad and
at home
Sergt, Major Jenkins came from
Holiday, Tennessee, and it is from
there that his mother, Mrs. NJ. E.
Jenkins, writes as follows to Major
J. D. Whitman:
Allow me as one who has lived
until ! am now an old woman to
express to you my thanks and APP
probation for your many courtesies
to me as mother of Sergt. Major
William B. Jenkins. had hoped my
boy would get his chance in France,
but it was not to be, so I am as
submissive to his death as If he had
died in the trenches in Europe. Please
accept my thanks for all your kind
ness and to any of his comrades that
were with him in his sickness. With
a sad heart dictate these lines, but
with a quickening pulse and an ac-
CELEBRATED being l look forward to the
day when victory shall come to the
brave boys who are giving their lives
for our beloved land. / shall ever
love a soldier boy. May Gods bless
ing be on you.

OF CIVIC organizations everywhere ~
push the consumption Of potatoes.
According to bulletin 1853 Of. the
United States department of agricul-
ture, there are more than one hun
dred ways of serving potatoes.
Potatoes are good substitute for
wheat flour. They are strictly an
American product, although Europe
has adopted them to its very great
advantage. Potatoes cannot be ship
ped, while wheat flour can, to save
hunger among our Allies. Americans,
therefore, in the opinion of the food
administrator should cat less of wheat
which can be shipped and more Of
potatoes which are so plentiful and
cheap this year. .-----.-.-s.c.

president has to say is no more than
the chief of the American nation
under the existing circumstances.
ought to say.
At he same time, the incident
seems to illustrate very much OF
what is and has been characteristic Of
American participation in the war.
President Wilson has made and does
make very nice speeches, but what
would really do the business of max
ing secure the battle line of freedom
in France would be million or a
million and half American soldiers
properly equipped with the necessary
allotment of artillery, flying machines
and the other paraphernalia of war;
and in the stress of the present mo-
ment, it is very much to be doubted
if the most felicitous message OF the
president can now compensate for the
fact that in the time, when, as Presl-
dent of the United States, ne might
have been getting ready and over into
France an. American army, such as is
there needed in the present crises, he
was engrossed in protracted and
futile discussion with the kaiser.
But even if it be agreed and con-
ceded that the long delay, during
which the government and people OF
the United States were SO slowly COM
ing to comprehension that the war
in Europe was a real war and OF real
concern to them, is matter that is
past and is only to be revived and
regarded for the lesson that may be
drawn from it for present application,
still there are things which the presi-
dent might do, the news OF which
would undoubtedly delight Field Mar
shall Haig far beyond the receipt OF
any message of congratulations or
confidence. For instance, it is still
wholly within the power of the presi-
dent to appoint to his cabinet real
secretary of war and it is still within
his mower to establish with Congress
cordial relations such as will assure
general cooperation in measures for
the promotion of the war business,
and he might dissipate the notion that
two detectives in the war business
never TO be lost sight of are those or
providing for deserving Democrats and
of furnishing to Secretary McAdoo a
sufficient number of sidelines to oc-
cupy his time.
Possibly in these suggestions we
are getting down into some details
that Field Marshal Haig does not
know all about, but there are none OF
them but that in their influence and
results do directly and materially
concern the great British command
er in the field They bear directly
and vitality upon the American par,
ticipation in the war, and they indicate
something of the presidents personal
responsibility in the world crisis
a responsibility which he can neither
discharge nor disminish by even the
happies. of polite messages. !

GETTING RIGHT WITH UNCLE SAM

1t is quite evident to careful obser-
vers that loyalty to the United States
among men of German birth or extrac-
ton is either on the increase or they
have become mighty good actors.
The Freeman-Journal is pleased to
believe that the forces of loyalty are
gaining recruits.
Many Germans who at the outbreak
OF the war in Europe accepted the
statements of Prussian leaders that
Germany had been forced into the
great conflict by the greed of the
enemies that surrounded her have by
carefully examining the situation and
looking the facts squarely in the face,
arrived at the conclusion that these
Prussian leaders have been deceiving
the German people all over the world
and that they themselves are wholly
responsible for the war and launched
it for the single purpose of conquest.
Many things have been published
from the German record of the past
forty years that Germans in this
country had been entirely ignorant
of and it has made a deep impression
upon thousands ofFthem. They have
finally come to the conclusion that
their interests are not the interests
of Germany and they are now, many
of them loyal to the land of their
adoption, Notwithstanding their at
titude of disloyalty to Uncle Sam
when the declaration was made by
congress that state of war existed
between this country and Germany.
These American citizens of Teu-
tonic blood are finding it difficult in
some instances at least to convince
their neighbors that they have in fact
changed their minds and that they are
sincere in the admission of an error
of judgment during the earlier days
of our participation in the. war. But
il Their changed attitude is genuine
and no. feigned they need have, no
fears but that their professions Of
loyalty will be accepted in due time.
Except in few instances a man cam
not long conceal his real sentiments.
