TEUTONS COvET SWISS!
Will Irwin Anticipates German Drive
to Obtain Swiss Electric Power.

New York, Feb. ga German
drive thru Switzerland to obtain the
electric power of that country, much
needed by the Germans, is predicted
as a possibility by Will Irwin, author
and war correspondent, who has just
returned to the United States from
the western front
''Ther, is an attractive series of pos
sibilities before Won Hlndenburg," de-
clared Irwin. My opinion is that he
will strike to put France out of the
war, altho he may strike to obtain
possession of the French ports. The
drive may be made thru Switzerland
The Germans need Switzerland's cleo
trio, power as much as they needed
Belgium's resources at the beginning
of the war and Switzerland will be
unable to put up any such splendid
fight as did Belgium

Capture 5000 Prisoners.
In taking Minsk and Rovno and in
pushing their campaign swiftly on
other sections of the long front, the
Germans had captured large quaint
ties of war material, including more
than 1900 guns and 5000 prisoners.

INDUSTRY SPIRIT LAX!'
''Nonessentials'' Unwilling To Throw
Strength Into Winning the War.

New York. Feb. 22.-Only one of
more than 200 mechanical engineers
who met here last night to determine
upon some course of cooperation
with the government by which the So
called nonessential industries of the
country may be fostered under the
stress of war conditions admitted that
the business he was engaged in was
not essential.
The solitary speaker was Spencer
Miller, a manufacturer, former vice
president of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers and now con-
nected with the naval consulting
board.
Not one man here tonight said

The speaker said he could take the
negroes from the cotton fields and
teach them to drive rivets in a ship
in a single day and asked why the
hands that made chewing gum could
not be taught to drive rivets.
Il warn you here and now" Mr..
Miller said, that if we don't drive
these rivets, and drive them quickly,
we will never drive the Germans. If
it is a case of chewing gum and be-
ing conquered by the Germans, God

STATE BOURBONS


uncertainty about the campaign
speeches to be heard from the Demo-
crat platform next fall, all doubt was
set aside today. There will be a
unanimity of loyalty speeches that will
dazzle and bewilder and befuddle the
poor citizen on foot who has merely
a vote to cast and a little taxes to
pay.
Senator Thompson-judged by to-
days lobby sentiment-will be re-
nom mated like the waters run out to
the sea. There won't be much ques-
ton about it-judging again by the
days sentiments. 1t will be put on a
broad, high. patriotic plane which will
call upon all good men-and women,
too-who are patriotic, loyal and true,
to support the president.
Why Not?
why Kansas supported President
wilson, said w. H. L. Pepperill, reve-
nue. collector, in a speech to, a group
of friends. Now why shouldn't Kan
sas support Senator Thompson who
supported the president on every
issue
That is the way it goes. 1t is al
most as soothing and soft as the
