After all, like so much else, it is matter not
of morals, if the news be accurately captloned
but matter of taste with which it is idle to
quarrel. Headlines and headgear are not regu-
lated by statute, nor has their control been
sought by constitutional amendment, as yet a
man may appear on all occasions, it ne Will, IN
big bearskin hat that drum majors and other
imposing personages wear; and newspaper
may habitually use its big black faces, as the
Chicago yellow does, however trivial the
news The disadvantage is that OF high
keyed orator, who has no louder note to sound
when a climax warrants shrek. But this is
no concern of papers like The Gate City, which
aims to make its headlines tell the story
truthfully and succintly in a properly modu-
lated tone of voice.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
Another outdoor sport highly recon-
mended as healthful and excellent tor
men Of all ages is gardening. Instead
Of keeping an eye on the ball you
keep your eye on the onion.
Sioux City Journal: Judge Wade, II
a candidate. could probably come
closer to swinging Iowa democratic
than any other man.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The
Methodist book concern is going to
quit printing books in the German
language and decrease the number
printed in other foreign languages.
That is a good step toward teaching
all who live in America to learn to
read the American language. Until a
resident or citizen can read that
language he is not fully or at least
not wholly prepared for citizenship.
Baker came home filled with pride
over the accomplishments of the
army. That's one kind of pride that
goeth not before a fall
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The kali
ser is becoming Pigment of the inn
agination typifying the sins OF all
Germany as Uncle Sam typifies the
glories and virtues of the United
States.
Iowa Falls Citizen: The line be-
tween constructive criticism and
mere fault finding is not always easy
to define.
Ottumwa Courier: There is danger
OF more extensive coal shortage
next winter than that which paral-
yzed much of Americas productive
efficiency last winter The only
means by which an actual famine of
coal can be avoided is by early and
extensive buying, combined with con-
tinuous production.

TODAYs BIT OF VERSE
THE 1IvouAc OF THE DEAD.

THE BIvoUAc OF THE DEAD.
The muffled drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on LIES parade sEall meet
That brave and fallen few;
On Fame's eternal caMptng-ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.
No rumor Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust;
Their plunled heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is their martial shroud;
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms. by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
TIE charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout past;
Nor wars wild note, glory's peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that neyermore may feel
The rapture Of the fight.
Yon marble minstrels voiceless stone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many vanished age hath flown,
The story how We fell;
Nor wreck change, nor winters ollght,
Nor Times remorseless doom.
Shall dim one ray of glory's light
That gilds your deathless tomb.

BUILDING SHIPS BY Wholesale.

With over two hundred and thirty new steel
ishipways under construction, with imitless
money and Schwab behind them, we may rea-
sonably hope before this year is over to have
launched four million dead-weight tons of
merchant ships. The other allied nations all
together probably will more than equal this out
put, and by this and the war on submarines
gaining in efficiency as it is, the Hun will be
more than held in check.
The selection of Mr.. Schwab to direct the
work may be taken to mean that the factory
method of production in which our country is
pre- eminent will be applied to ships, as it has
been to automobiles, and that shipyards will
become colossal assembling floors where ship
parts made in many cities will be put together.
Factories near and distant will turn out thou
sands of beams and plates, each one of which
/ will fit any ship of given size under construc
| ton in any yard. This is building ships by
wholesale. It is the American way OF speeding
production to the limit; and when the mi ghty
system is in full operation our output Of ocean
tonnage will amaze the world.
| Practically every French physician under
seventy years of age is engaged in military
duty. There are no French nurses in civilian
service. Conditions in England are much the
same, while Italy cannot furnish medical super
therefore no idle desire to promote unnecessary
enterprise which actuates the proposers of
measures to safeguard our supply of physicians
and nurses. The proposal to conscript women
! to training for nursing has met with wide oppo-
sition and many Of the arguments against it are
Sound. But we must have nurses and the train
| ing takes time. Those who look with alarm at
the depleted ranks of nurses training classes in
the hospitals of this country have strong argu-
ment to support their claim that something
must be done at once to prepare for the future.
The call our military medical and nursing
forces have not yet reached it's high point and
when it does it will exhaust available sup
iply of physicians and nurses to extent the
public has not realized. It is time we took
thought of this matter and set about devising
a means of recruiting to training the help we
shall need.
