See here young woman, overfuwing

you making for the flag and the war?
Honest Indian now. DO you pan the
show window where the new hats and
gowns are displayed so alturingay with,
the determination that you arc zo!ns
to wear something old this winter, are
YOU actually making any personal
sacrifice?
Yes, we know that you've war saw
ing stamps but does their possession
mean anything except that your
fathers income is better than an
others? Did they cost you anything?
Did you 60 without any clothes, any
fun anything that you wanted very

desired to get into the war game and
do your own bit instead Of having 1t
done for your Say, now. let's be
absolutely honest WITH each other. Did
you? Have you? Are you going to?
The easiest thing any OF us do is to
cheer the flag and the boys, who sur

Than other mothers Tommy or Jim"
You raised him up like girl,

What would become Of your flag?

They are used to beans and stew"

To send him off with the rest.

Think OF the women in Belgium.
OF the cruelties they had to bear;
Do you want the same thing to happen
To your innocent daughter so fair7
You can thank God that the stars in
Old Glory
Are not blurred by that kind Of
stains:
Because there are ten million rough
necks''
That have red blood In their veins.
They don't mind the drill in bad
weather.
And come in with a grin on their
face.
While your darling sits in the parior
and another man fights in his place.
Maybe we do smoke and gamble.
But we fight as our forefathers did:
So go warm the milk for his bottle.
Thank God. we don't need your kid.

PURE CAMOUFLAGE.

Jim Pierce had real patriotic ar
ticle in his Iowa Homestead last
week, the first article of the kind
that did not have a string OF some
kind tied to it since the war began.
Every story in the Homestead here
tofore left the reader to have big doubts
on what his loyal duty was, but It Is
evident that Jim Pierce feels keenly
at last the singing rehuke he is re-
ceiving, not only from all parts OF this
state. but from every loyal person in
the country who has read or heard OF
his doubtful loyalty propaganda.
He continues at his old tricks. how
ever, of trying to deceive the farmers.
and after writing a glowing article
urging the people to buy bonds he
singles out Secretary Of State Allen for
another attack. and then deliberately
tries to convey the impression that
certain interests are trying TO make
him "et up on Allen" Pierce can't get
by with that kind of camoufage, be-
cause the people Of Iowa do not care
whether he supports Allen for secre-
tary OF state or not-that is up to Mr..
Pierce himself. The people Of Iowa do
not care a whoop how much Pierce
Jumps onto the Allen candidacy for
secretary Of state, and there has been
no tntimatIon from any person for him
to "go slow" on his attacks on Allen.
The people Of Iowa object, and they
are going to continue to object. to
the dishonest propaganda that he is
spreading around the country tn his
efforts to saddle the anarchist national

Hotel men from France. England and

American hotel men in New York
about the middle of December. Con-
servation of food and man-power and
general hotel problems are up for dis
cussion. The foreign delegates, how
over. have still other questions in
which they are especially interested.
Those from Belgium and France in
particular are anxious to study Ameri-
can hotels before they undertake the
work of rebuilding their own de-
stroyed or injured during the war.
European hotels have been some
thing of disappointment to American
soldiers. although their tourist prede-
cessors might have warned them not
to expect the conveniences of the mod
ern American hotel.

former subjects, he has sought refuge
in Holland, the nearest neutral SOIL

last free to share with other civilized
nations in progress toward more and
more popular government There is
glory enough for all; for President Will
son. who as commander-in-chie of the
American army and navy, directed all,
and for his advisors: for the wives and
mothers who offered their precious
sacrifices on the nations altar; for
army and navy; for those who fell on
field or in hospital. those who sur
yived the shock of battle and those
who were ready for duty; for the
workers in the several organizations
that have shared with the government
the task of making the soldiers lot
as easy as possible while in the camp,
and for the masses who, as taxpayers,
bond buyers and voluntary contribu-
tors. have furnished the money nee
esary to carry the war to a victorious
conclusion. All have done splendidly,

who would tell them? Not the
imperial army, nor the muzzled press.
Every report has doubtless been col

u.s."
IL is possible that this Is the true
explanation And il suggests another
illuminating fact. This woman and
her mother. though of German origin,
are the product of America.
Wherever there dwell decent, adj

changes their whole outlook.
Americans were slow to believe that
such horrors could come out of Ger
many They judged Germany by them
selves. Because they were imbued
with ideals OF 'decency and honor, they
could not believe any nation could be
lacking in these ideals.
German born or descended Ameri-
cans who cannot yet believe such ter

place because, consciously or uncon-
sciously. they recognized the greater
desirabilIty OF our way of life strongly
enough to leave their homes for it.
Once here, with freedom and oppor-
tunity, they have been surrounded and
penetrated with out atmosphere to the
point where they cannot believe that
any nation can be so base as the Huns
have been.
They forget that the people of the
other nation have grown up under the
debasing influence of Hohenzollern-
ism, as they have under the uplifting
one of democracy.
Pondering this little may clear up
many puzzles in the thought and con-
duct of well-meaning neighbors of
German blood
