are The Baltimore Sun. Washington

Each day the Presidents private sec
many papers, and the clippings deem
ed of interest to the President are

80 or 40 pages of which are fastened
together. Striking cartoons are often
cut for the Presidents special atten-

President Wilson reads the weekly
edition of The CLOndon) Times regu-
larly. French and Italian journals he
knows through translations. and trans

WE CAN HELP GAS THE ENEMY

The Germans, who invented poisoI
gas, are getting their fill Of it them
selves. The newly created American
Army has been giving especial atten
ton to demonstrating to them the full
value of this particular form oi
frightfulness. The work of the gas
and fame division has been given
much credit by German prisoners for
the Yankee successes in France.
One reason why the American fore
es have the advantage of their enemy
is, according to an official statement
of the War Department. that the Amer
lean gas masks are twenty times as
efficient as the German masks.
And it's prunes and walnuts, among
other things, that make the American
masks so good.
That brings us back to Columbia
and Boone County. Prunes and wal
nuts are no strangers here. Hun
dreds of pounds Of prune seeds and
walnut shells must be thrown away
every month.
Those same seeds and shells. along
with other hard fruit pits and nut
shells. have the power to save Amer
lean lives in France-and not only
save lives but hours of agony, hours
of tortured gasping for the breath
that lungs must have but which they
can hardly stand
Charcoal has the faculty of absorb
ing gas. Charcoal made of substance
es as hard as fruit pits and nut shells
is the most compact kind that can be
used. To make those efficient masks
for the American troops and to keep
them in working order, untold guam
titles of fruit pits and nut shells are
needed
The Red Cross made an effort to
collect these articles. but the move
ment Jagged.
If the Yankees need fruit pits and
nut shells, not a fruit pit or nut shell
should go to waste here
Every business house in Columbia
ought to have a barrel where patrons
could throw their nutshells at the,
kaiser. Every store should announce
that patrons were welcome to put
their shells in paper bags and hand
them to any delivery boy at the back
door
Who'll take the lead?

A KNOCKOUT FOR AUSTRIA!

Perhaps never before was the value
more strikingly demonstrated than in
the present attack on the Italian front.
1t reverses conditions prevailing at
the time of the Italian disaster on the
IsOnzo last year.
Before that time French, British and
Italian commands acted independent
ly, and with only faulty coordination.
Allied attacks in France had worn
themselves out and a lull prevailed
there; so Germany quite leisurely
transferred her troops to the Austrian
front. Newspapers in this country
printed statements of the cOncentra-
tiOn of troops to attack the Itaians.
and speculated as to whether the at
tack would be forthcoming. or wheth-
er the concentration was only a bluff.
But so far as could be seen from
this side of the world. England and
France did nothing more than to cast
der if she could stand the shock. 1t
took the disaster which followed be-
fore French and British reinforce
ments were sent to help stem the tide. |

France until not only has Germany .
no troops to send to other fronts. but .
she has been compelled to withdraw
those that she had already sent away.
Bulgarians credit this withdrawal
of German troops for the Bulgar col
lapse before the Allied attack. 1t
may well be that the stage is being
set for an Austrian collapse before
another swift attack.
