WILD RUSH TO GET
FRUIT IN GERMANY

AMSTERDAM, July 11-"Reports
of a calamitous State of things reach
us from all fruit growing regions Of
the German Empire" says the Dus-
seldorf Nachrichten.
The paper states that there is a
wild rush on the part of dealers and
private persons flo rthe orchards and
fruit gardens. Everywhere the fruit
crops are being bought up regardless
of prices and food regulations.
The authorities seem powerless 10
cope with a rush of this magnitude
Fruit growers with impunity charge
fivefold the maximum prices and get
them. Cherries, Strawberries and
other fruit are unobtainable except
at extortionate prices.

When the advancing waves Of

congressman.
MIR. Hughes has been a lifelong

He has uniformly been fair to CAPT.

Since this state was born, fifty-five
years ago, the Republicans have not

of Wheeling, Ciarksburg and Elkins.

CLARKlSBURG, w. Va, July g.
In the course of patriotic Fourth
of July meeting in this city Mother
Jones, the Labor leader, paid high
tribute to Colonel C. w. Watson, can
didate for the u S. Senate. In dis
cussing the recent unionization of
the Fairmont mining region Mother
Jones said that the credit for this is
due TO Colonel Watson.
In the past Mother Jones has been
a severe critic of Colonel Watson and
for that reason her tribute to him
was all the more interesting
Mother Jones has been making her

GOOD CHEER FROM THE FRONT.

John Kendrick Bangs is back from the front
he took message of merry good cheer to the
boys over there and he brought another mes
sage Of equally good cheer from the boys to the
1ome folks. And that is not all. The state
nent he makes as to the boys conduct is all on
he credit side. The statement as to their per-
sonal conduct, that is. AS to their fighting
conduct we knew what that would be before
they started. When the reports along that line
began to come in there was no surprise here
although there clearly was a little among our
French and English friends And, as for the
Huns. their surprise passed all the rest. Even
the Huns have had to admit that our lads will
light, fight like Wild-cats-ike "devil-hounds''
IS they put it. But we lack training, lack ex-
oerience and lack a lot of other things they are
trying to console themselves with Oh, WELL
The boys will be able to satisfy them in all these
particulars before the last great battle is won

TRAINING AMERICANS IN IRELAND.

We have our doubts about the desirability of
having American troops when sent across plac-
ed IN training camps in Ireland. 1t is reported
that some prominent Irishmen, including Off
Gals OF high rank are discussing it, with the
expectation that what are called ''Irsh- Amer-
can troops will thus be landed in the Emerald
Isle. We are not at all afraid that, as a Sim
teiner is reported to have said, such troops
would all be Sim Feiners within month. The
loyalty of American soldiers is of too robust a
hbTe for such degeneration. 1t is more likely
that the presence of our troops would cause all
Sim Feiners to disappear within the month
But we are not persuaded Of the fitness of thus
employing our troops, even possible for such
purpose in the domestic politics of another
country, even the country of one of our Allies
Besides, there are no "Irish-American'
troops. Americans of Irish birth or ancestry
have eschewed the hyphen.

THE AvENGING OF EDITH oAyELL.

In the Red Cross Magazine for July there il.
an article, by Mr.. 7. Topping, the former Prl-
vate Secretary to the Honorable Brand Whit
eek at the time he was American Minister to
Belgium.
In this article he writes:
While the wave OF horvor and loathing that
swept the civilized world at the news of the
murder Of Miss Cavell spent itself in screech-
ing headlines and helplessly bitter comment, in
the heart of Louis Bril- it assumed more con-
crete form.
One night while engaged in a game of chess
with his friend, the schoolmaster, in the little
room that he occupied on the top floor of an
old building in Ixelles, where he kept out of
sight of the Germans, Bril- suddenly whipped
out two automatic revolvers from his pockets
'browneengs,' he called them-and said to
his startled opponent:

MISS RANKIN COMING.

We are pleased to announce u
Forthcoming visit from our dis
tinguished representative in con-
gress. Miss Jeanette Rankin.
This is always a personal item Of
much interest to the people Of
Missoula who are proud Of their
IcOngressWoman, even if they do
not always agree with her on
Everything. That is not reflec-
ton on Miss Rankin's intclIi-
gcnce, because it is not easy to
find Missoulians who agree
lamong themselves. Perhaps that
is why they are such an interest
ing lot, and keep the community
out Of rut. Life might be aw-
fully duh, otherwise.
Miss Rankin is to stump Mon
tana next week in behalf Of the
Liberty loan, and we have no
doubt that her efforts will go a
long way toward keeping Mon
tana's record Of war work rs a
shining mark. Miss Rankin is an
effective speaker and has a large
personal following. Naturally on
her tour. she will have a little
lspare time for the mending of po-
Ilitical fences and a general sur
lvey Of conditions. Probably sew
cral senatorial pcriscopes are al
ready adjusted to watch the eff
feet OF her visit.

schedule Of our representatives

to be supposed that Missoula will
not be included. We think tina,
