General Pershing is big man. The
judgment Of the president was sound.
Any man who could say at the grave
Of Lafayette: Lafayette, We are here,
expressing in single sentence the soul
of his country and again, recently
"We shall take away from Europe only
the ashes of our dead,' is the right
man, intellectually and morally, to be
at the head OF an army fighting for a
great and sound cause. American
fathers and mothers can feel their boys
are in safe hands. What has been done
already is proof that Pershing is a
great soldier, but it is inspiring to know
that he also is a great citizen, clean and
true.

Of our exchanges have been specializing
on what would happen if the govern
ment took over the newspapers. Well
the first thing the subscription price
would be raised about 50 per cent and
the sheriff would be kept busy chasing

raise wages about 25 p. ct. and editors
would be placed on salary that have

position and we re for it.

EXPLAINS GERMAN
FAILURE IN WEST
GENERAL Won WRiSBERo SAYS
\ EFFORT At SURPRISE DID
NOT SUCCEED.
ALLIED ARMIES REINFORCED
Arrival of Fresh Troops From Eng.
land Checked Great Offensive
and Forced Teutons on the
Defensive.

Amsterdam, Sept. 26.-Genecal von
Wrisberg addressed the main commit
tee of the Reichtag on behalf Of the
minister of war.
He explained, according to tele-
gram from Berlin that the failure of
the German offensive on the western
front was due to the failure of the
German army to surprise the Allies
and the necessity Of assuming the de-
fensive on the arrival of the English
home army in the theater of war; to
the employment Of colored troops and
to the intervention of American divi-
sions.
Won Hintze Talks on Russia.
Admiral Won HintZe, the German for
eign minister, discussed at length the
Allied operation in Russia and ex-
pressed the opinion that the southwark
advance Of the Allied troops in the
Thurman region was not likely to pene-
trate much farther, the climate and
condition of the ground not favorlng
such an advance. He asserted that the
Bolshevik policy was not clear, be-
cause although fighting the Allies, the
Bolshevik leaders had not declared
war.
Accusing the Allies OF fomenting
conspiracies against the Russian re-
public, Won Hintze said that these con-
spiracies, undertaken in collaboration
by the Allied representative and
America had been bloodily suppressed.
Referring to the Allied attack on
the Marine salient, General Won Wris-
berg said the withdrawal of the Ger
man troops was necessary FOR stra-
tegical reasons and was completely
successful"
Says Allies Win But Lose.
"Thus the first offensive Of the enc
N.Y." he added, brought him tac-
tical success but, considered in the
light of his great strategical aims, it
can be regarded as not having sue
ceeded"
General Won Wrisberg described the
British victory between the Ancre and
due to the massed employment Of
tanks and surprise under the protec-
tion of their fire."
The withdrawal to the Hindenburg
line. the general said, was dve to a
'lack of we'll consolidated positions"
Speaking of the American victory in
the st. Mihiel sector General Wrisberg
said:
" It lies in the nature of the case
that we as the defenders lost con-
siderable number Of guns and pris-
oners. We can, however, with as
surance, calculate that the enemy OBJ
tanned his success on the first days of
the attack by surprise and with small
loss, but for the rest he suffered the
heaviest losses"
Captain Bruenninghaus, speaking for
the German navy department in the
main committee of the Reichstag,
said that U-boats were sinking more
cargo space than being built by the
Allies and that the number of German
submarines in service today was larg-
er than at any period of the war.

STILL IN FLIGHT
ALLIES FOLLOW UP THEIR Sue

AND TURKEY.
PRESSURE ON ST. QUENTIN
Hard Fighting, Have Drawn
More Closely Their Lines
Investing That Town.

Londun, Sept. 26. - The Teutonio
forces in Macedonia and Turkey are
still in flight before the armies of the
Allies, while on the highly important
St. Quentin sector in France the Brit
ish and French armies, after hard
fighting, have drawn more closely
their lines in the investment Of the
town on the northwest, west and
south.
The stubborn resistance of the Ger.
mans in defense and in counter at.
tacks has been unavailing except to
impede the progress of the men Of
the armies of Field Marshal Haig and
General Debeny.
Turks Escape Cut Off.
In Macedonia the Bulgarian and Ger
man troops are still faced with disas-
ter; in Palestine the remaining Turks
seem to have scarcely a chance for
escape from the British forces and
tribesmen who are closing in upon
them east Of the River Jordan. More
than 100000 prisoners and 265 guns
have been taken by the British and
yet General Allenby's appetite for
further emoluments from his hard
campaign has not been satiated.
Gagged by the swiftness of the
strokes Allenby is delivering, it is his
purpose absolutely to overwhelm the
Ottomans and the fulillment of his
plans seems appreciably near.

French Two Miles From St. Quentin.
On the French front the British
have taken the village of Selency, a
scant two miles from the western en-
virons of St. Quentin. and both the
British and French troops north and
south Of this line have driven further
wedges into the German front. More
than a thousand prisoners and mary
machine guns have been taken by the
British in these operations. Numer-
Gus strong counter attacks were de-

and at Gricourt. but Haig's men put

Economics rarely present anything
amusing, but there is something anus
ing in contemplating the fear which is
troubling the old time friends Of the
gold standard-that gold is in danger
Of being demonetized. Silver is adj
vancing in price and in use. Gold, in
terms Of commodities, is getting cheap
er and cheaper. So many grains Of
gold will still continue to be worth a
dollar-that is, a standard gold dollar,
and gold dollar represents or is worth
so many grains of gold. Naturally,
since the weight is fixed by law, which
determines the number of grains of
gold which constitute a gold dollar.
There is nothing new about that. We
heard much about it in 1896, which now
seems so very long ago. The bimetal-
lists denied that there was any sacred
or inherent value in the gold in the gold
dollar. It was the fat Of the law max
ing it single standard, which gave it
greater value than it would other
wise have. This was scoffed at by the
menometallists, the gold bugs. Now
comes Prof. Fisher Of Yale, who says
the standard dollar, the gold dollar, the
4okd1 uOl1dT, ~ ucCoACAu1 uOAAoA1 oAu
is really not a fixed standard, as we
were told in the lively days Of 1896
but Auctuating standard, and a dis
honest one, because it doesn't stay
put. The Pioneer Press endorses Prof
Fisher, and approves his scheme to
stabilize the dollar, which is to be
done by changing the number Of grains
of gold in the standard dollar, reducing
or increasing the weight, according to
market conditions. The average of
commodity prices is to be the basis fol-
sterilization. Then paper is to be is
sued against the dollar, which is NO
longer fixed, but ductuating dollar
It is too bad, but we apprehend that if
the gold dollar bought more Of the good
things of life, instead of so much less
than it did twenty or ten or five years
ago, that we should hear little about
the gold problem at this time.

were knocked unconscious. They
are: Miss Irma Summerville, who suf-
fered a badly lacerated ear and num-
