a CT oup OF WITNESSES.

Jim Dahlman, mayor Of Omaha re-
presented the wet side Of the wet and
dry controversy in his city. Mayor
Dahlman was the candidate OF the
wide openers and the saloonists. So
when he comes forward as witness
against, the saloons and booze he is to
be given a respectful hearing. And this
is what he says:
said it wouldn't work, but 1t does.
II has been working out to the adj
vantage of this city and its people. 1t
has resulted in decrease of the social
evil. it has cut in two the number OF
cases of wife abandonment and cruelty

that was made vacant by the removal
of the dram shops has been rented and
we've got lot OF new buildings going
up.
of him is no fool. He isn't fool enough
to deny a patent fact Moreover he rs
10 be credited with sincerity and hon
esty IN this latest proclamation OF his.
OF course it is what every city ana
town and community which has rid it
self of the liquor traffic knows and
which every honest man from saloon
mayors down to saloonists themselves
admit. Dahlman merely joins the cloud
Of witnesses. And his is excellent tes-
timony coming as It does from Omaha

vAGARrE.s OF CENSORSHIP.
TDes Mo!nes Register


1t is officially announced that
the New England division Of ma
tional guardsrnen holds the Chemin
des Danes sector devoted to Ameri-
can training. The announcement y
made because the fact was inadver-
tenuy published in the Stars and
Stripes. the American soldiers news
paper in France.
Three weeks ago ten men from
the New England division were cap
tured while on patrol duty in front
Of their lines. The Germans have
known the position Of the division
since that time. Dispatches passed
by the censor contained the informa-
ton that all Of the captured men were
from New England. and the next cas-
ualty list disclosed their identity.
Boston and New York newspapers
England division as fully as the news
papers of Iowa have discussed the
Rainbow division an its activities In
Lorraine.
There seems to be good dead OF
tomf oolishness in pretending Tor
three weeks to conceal what the CEN
sor's office knew was known by the
Germans, and had been disclosed in
American by rews published with the
o. K. Of the censor and the war de-
partment.
The Germans are credited with
amazing espionage ability in some di-
rections. and equally amazing density
in others.
1t is forbidden to mention what
divisions of the regular army are
in France, but there Is no objection
whatever to stating that the di-
visions remaining IN the United
States are the Eighth ana Fifteenth
and an o~erstrength composite which
is known as the Fourth division.
It would BE- truly sinful to men
ton how many divisions OF the ma
tional guard are in France, but
ANYBODY Is privileged to say that
thirteen divisions are still In the
United States
AT least We assume it is per-
missible to repeat this information, as
it is published in the Official Bulletin
of the committee on public informa-
ton. We trust that no German spy
will be intelligent enough to subtract
the number q divisions in the United
States from the total number in the
army.

The hope of the world lies
in the sons of America.

They are "Over there'' nova million and
half strong; they are going over daily-a
million and half more of them. Another
million and half are waiting for the call
that soon will come.
Those who have been under fire have demon
strated superbly the qualities that make fight
ers-they have shown that the barbarous hun
is no match for them.
Many an American son has gone down
has made the supreme sacrifice for his Coun-
try and liberty. Before the german horde
is driven back within its own borders, many
more American sons will 60 down. How
many, depends upon us at home.
A small American army, no matter how brave,
will inevitably suffer severe casualties. A
gigantic American army will overwhelm the
hun and bring quick victory with the least
loss of life.
The lives of our sons are in our hands. The
boys are ready, willing and eager. They
must be trained and equipped. No time
must be lost. 1t is up to us to provide the
money necessary to make these boys lnvlncl-
bic. We must do it and do it quickly. With
our own sons already in the fight, every
days delay lays at our own doors the blood
of brave American sons.
