"The Sergeant sat at the edge

In fact, they went forward so

"For six days they had prac-
tically nothing to eat and less

kept going, killing and chasing

tried to catch up, but we never

GERMANY's CATsPAW.

1.-The voice is Jacobs voice, but the hands
are the hands of Esau." Austria would in any
event never ask peace for herself alone. When
she pleads it is in the voice of the oppressor.
She is tied to Germany so long as she exists 1t
this war is not brought to close by the force
of arms, it will not bring freedom to all ma
tons and coming generations will be plunged
into a conflict equally as terrible as that waged
at present. In suggesting non-binding dis
cusson to be entered into on the part of all the
belligerents it is plain to the most obtuse that
Austria is acting as the catspaw of Germany.
The answer Of this country, as we'll as that OF
its allies, may be found in the speech delivered
at Baltimore by President Wilson: ''Force,
force to the utmost, force without stint limit
the righteous and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world, and cast every
selfish dominion down in the DUST
A drowning nation may catch at straws.
Germany visualizes the end. So do those who
oppose her.

DRUNK AT THE WHEEL.

Denison Bulletin: 1t is told that
young farmer near Atlantic was
fined SO by the justice for driving
an automobile while drunk The
Des Moines Register remarks: Now
what could be more absurd If we are
really going to do anything to en-.
force respect for the law than to
affix penalty Of SO on a man who
is driving an automobile while
drunk" The Register further says
that "a fine of less than 500 for a
drunken man driving an automobile
is ridiculous, while less than $500 is
not enough to fix the attention Of
men of bibulous habit on the impro-
priety of taking charge of the steer
ing wheel"
We quote the above to show how
other people look at 1t. What would
they say IL they were shown that
in Denison the fine would be about
81 and that RENTED? Or. even $3.50
and paid But that is 100 per cent.
more than we have ever known of
anybody ever being assessed here
for drunkenness while driving. A
drunken man at a wheel is a menace
to life and property as much as an
enemy bomb dropped from an air
plane, and it is equally difficult to
tell where the damage will fall. II
booze was ever excusable, it was not
in connection with man driving a
car and having the lives of others
within his care.

PHRASES WITH HE'LL IN THEM.

Cedar Rapids Republican: One man
thinks that we are familiarizing our
selves with profane phrases by pub
lie use of such words as ito hell with
the kaiser" used on billboards and
in advertisements. He wants the
papers to protest. There is something
in his viewpoint. Such phrases do
not refine our conversation Men who
use profane words do not add any
thing TO their speech. Profanity is a
vice, a bad American vice-it is like
chewing tobacco and splitting on side
walks, at its best it is like that
But in the phrases alluded to, it is
well to consider that hell is at its
dam or Essen 1t belongs to the
geography of the imagination, or the
belief-for there are some who be-
lieve and some who do not believe
in hell. 1t is only man who hates
his enemies who can manufacture
such a place for them God himself
is not capable of creating a hell, nor
of keeping II going from everlasting
to everlasting. God is love. but man
is sometimes still hate. He'll Is man
created and, therefore, those who use
the name profanely are not taking
any liberties with God. Men who
shudder when they hear the name of
the place are still 1aboring under
direful superstitions-they still sing
the day OF wrath for others. of course
hell has always been a place for
the other fellow, for the other sect.

wsuALIzING Mr.. PIERCE.

Ottumwa Courier: MIR. Pierce is
the farm paper editor of the old
style. a relic of the age when the
farmer was isolated and denied the
conyeniences which bring him into
touch with world conditions today.
The farmer and the nation have gone
ahead while Mr.. Pierce has remained
in his rut, twanging on his single
stringed Tyre monotonous tune OF
prejudice and hatred.
Always his aim has been to build
wall of prejudice between the
farmer and the city man by telling
the farmer he was imposed upon and
afflicted. This campaign of distrust,
dissatisfaction and hate has been
effective to some extent simply be-
cause there is certain proport ton
of the people in every community,
whether il be in city or in the coun-
try. who like to be fed on just such
sort of unreasoning, ungrounded
prejudice. venom and poisonous mis-
representation.
II it served his purpose better. Mr..
Pierce would be found today fighting
the Non-Partisan league instead Of
furthering its insidious campaign of
prejudice. distortion of fact, hatred,
disruption. sedition and distrust. 1t
happens that the league came along
Just at the proper time to fit into
'the Pierce scheme of propaganda
and he seized upon it greedily. It
is his purpose to keep the farmer in

THE sAcRo sANCT STAPLE

The suggestion by Mr.. Baruch, of the war IN
dustries board, that it might be necessary TO
fix the price of cotton caused CONSERVATION IN
the south and a near panic in the market IN
which cotton made the record drop of twenty
two dollars and twenty-five cents bale IN the
course of a few hours, by which short sellers
appear to have reaped enormous profits Inc
alarm in the south was so great that the presl-
dent wired a southern newspaper to correct the
impression that the price might be fixed 1t Is
not entirely clear why an intimation OF the pos
sibilitv that the price of the southern staple
might have to be be stabilized threw the cotton
states into such dismay, whereas price liking
for wheat and wool and other northern staples
produced no similar effect But the south seems
to regard its staple as in the sacrosanct class
and to be up in arms at any hint OF interference
with it. Yet the phenomenal drop III cotton over
night on the bare runlor of action would seem
to indicate that its price held at an artificial
high level

RED CROSS EFFICIENCY.

1t is in one way to the great glory OF the Red
Cross that the valor of its battle service has
come to be accepted as a matter of fact; little
publicity is given to the adventures of the field
hospital men in No Man s Land But it will
be remembered that Floyd Gibbons, CORES
pondend of the Chicago Tribune was severely
wounded awhile ago in daring participation
in an advance movement of the allied troops;
he was, indeed, reported missing but turned up
in field hospital whence he was transferred
to permanent quarters. He has written the
story of his rescue by the Red Cross field men,
of the remarkable efficiency with which his
wounds and those Of others were given emerg-
ency treatment under circumstances to try the
nerves of even seasoned fighters and of the fine
readiness of Red Cross preparation to care for
battle victims. The story is written with the
skill of trained newspaper correspondent and
it makes comforting reading for the American
home that has soldier at the front.
