PATRIOTIC SERVICE.

For the most part, and as far as learned there has been very little pp- position shown, there has been dis played the proper patriotic disposition to help the fuel administration carry out it's purpose in connection with the shutting down of industry and closing up business on such days as it has designated. It has naturally called forth much criticism, but under the belief that those who are responsible for the order are thoroughly in touch with the situation and know more about it than the individuals or con- cerns affected compliance has been general. And it is therefore to be hoped that all that is aimed at will be accomplished even though it is be. | ing done at great sacrifice.

The wonder is not that so many mistakes have been made but that so much has been accomplished.
 A most encouraging result of the in vestigation is that while much incom- potency has been discovered there has apparently been no dishonesty in high

if there were in anyene's mind any
 lingering fears as to the growing pow CT of militarism in the United States, they must have been dispeiled by re- cent Washington events. Militarism Is the state into which country falls when the military power is in the as- cendancy over the civil, when the sol- dier takes precedence over the civilian, the officer over the manufacturer, the court -marfial over the regular judie- iary.

FACTS AND COMMENT

Before the great war broke out there was in all the world no portrait more familiar than that of Kaiser Wilhelm IT, king of Prussia and emperor of GermaHy. He was the very picture of health, tall and straight. calm and complaceIit. His whole bearing was self f-assertive and imperious it is true, but this was eminently fitting in the worlds most powerful monarch. But the kaisers latest pictures bring out clearly how the burden and horror of the great war have weighed him down. Hollow checked, stoop -shouldered and worn, only the sharp eyes and fiercely upttirned rfoustaehe are left to remind one of the almost jaunty monarch of 30 few years back who appeared equal ly at home hunting or yachting, re- ceiving an ambassador or reviewing kis troops. The self-satisfied air has gone together with every trace of light heartedness and he looks the disap- pointed, broken and peevish old man
 and yet he is just fifty-nine!
 All the kaiser can now hope for is l to get out unbeaten. His widest dreams may show him Deutschland

Today's stock market was one in
which the course of prices fluct
uated narrowly. first on one side

day closing level. Trading was on a
materially smaller scale than in any
previous session this week.
1t is not at all illogical that the
public should hold aloof from the
market at this stake. Peace is in the
air.
Opening prices were for the most
part firm, with considerable strength
here and there in certain groups, like
the sugars, tobaccos and rubbers.

WORLD FIGHT
United Presbyterian Brotherhood
Hears interesting Talk by
Member, on Great
Struggle.

The monthly meeting Of the United
resbyterian Brotherhood was held
last evening In the lecture room OF
the church at Ninth and Blondeau
streets. The address Of the evening
was given by A. NJ. Davidson, after
which light refreshments were served.
Mr.. Davidson took up the facts
concerning the causes of the great
war that few people in daily reading
recognize.
Mr.. Davidson took up only the his
torical and political side of the war.
He opened by citing the trouble be-
tween Austria and Serbia In regard
to religion and how Germany then
sent Ferdinand to the council at
which he was killed. Mr.. Davidson
stated that the outcome OF all OF
this must have been foerseen by the
German government.
Next he took up the question OK
Russia and the pro-German element
in that country. He told how this
element was modified even before
Germany had declared war on the
country. He also explained the plight
of Salonica, about which there has
been SO much query and 30 little
understanding.
Mr.. Davidson's talk was well ar
ranged and direct, and left new
thoughts and better understanding Of
this war, with all who heard him.

DAVIS

One Of the local restaurant men sug-
gests that the Keokuk meat markets
arrange to have a supply of fish on
hand for meatless day. This would
serve very materially to conserve the
meat supply and would comply in
every way with the food administra-
TONS order, which Is to save meat by
using fish, and fowl. BY having plenty
OF fish for Tuesdays trade, the meat
men would aid materially in the sit
uation and would be doing a patriotic
work as well as helping the restaurant
men out. For their menus they have
to depend on fish and poultry to a
great extent, on meatless days.
