this decision few days later, how
exer, when it became known that at
the allied conference held near Rome
plans had been made for so great
and general an offensive against the
Central powers that the submarine
warfarce carried to extremes could be
the only means of disconcerting the
entente governments. To the men in
Vienna it then seemed that there
was so little to lose and so much to
gain that they threw their former
aversion against the ruthless sub
marine war overheard.
1t is not generally known that the
policies OF the Austro-Hungaria
government have as many friends in
Germany, in intellectual and high
government circles, as they have at
home. DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann,
the German secretary of state for
foreign affairs and German imperial
chancellor of the near future. is a
man of Count Czernin's type in every
respect. l base this statement upon
most intimate acquaintance with
DR.. Kuehlmann that dates back 10
March, 1915. when he was embassy
councillor at the German embassy ut
Constantinople under Baron Wangen-
helm.
The mental tendencies of Count
Czernin and DR.. Kuehlmann are dis
tinctly towards the Anglo Saxon
world. Within their own countries
both men are notorious as Angli-
philes. 1t is that very fact which
finally brought them TO the fore. They
are depended upon to ultimately
right things in the Anglo-Saxon
world. Knowing the two men as | do
can say that they will do their best
in this respect when once they get a
free hand. The great obstacle now
in their way is not the German mill
tarist party so much as the deadlock
of battle.
But at this moment Count Czernin
is undoubtedly the more approachable
OF the two men. He is not hedged in
to the extent DR.. Kuehlmann stiH is.
There is no militarist party in Aus
tria'Hungary. During the last eigh.
teen months the civil authorities have
again become supreme, a fact which
Is mirrored in every statement Count
Czernin has made.
When the moment comes in which
men may talk of peace without hold
ing the knife at the throat of the
other at the same time, Austria Hun
gary will make a fine bridge.

U. S. Civil Service Board

The local secretary of the y. S
Civil Service Board at Kansas City
has sent this Office a statement of the
urgent needs of the Government In
the way of help in carrying on the
work of the war The greatest need
at present seems to be for certain
mechanics, qualified to do shipbuild-
ing, and for stenographers, typewrit-
ers and bookkeepers, and special
clerks IN the Departments at Wash
ington.
The mechanics most needed just
now, which can be supplied by this
section of the country, are machinists,
blacksmiths and boilermakers- The
ship carpenters, coppersmiths and
saiImakers, and those of several other
allied trades, are furnished mostly
from the sections nearer the coast,
but of course any who apply here viii
be accepted. The Kansas City Civil
Service Office is authorized to approve
applications, hire the men and pay
their way TO the place of employment.
This railroad fare IS not held out of
their wages The pay is from u to
70 cents per hour.
Among the positions of clerical
nature, those requiring a knowledge
of steEography and typeWriting are
calling for the most recruits Two
examinations for stenographers and
typewriters are held every week-One

STUPID POLITICS

The democrats are using the cam
paign slogan of ''Help Wilson Win the
War" They are trying to make poll
tics test of patriotism. That is sheer
political stupidity. Every loyal Ameri-
can is helping Wilson win the war.
They are also helping Pershing and
Wood and the boys from Kansas. In
helping win the war there should be
no political distinctions. What there
is have been made, or attempted to
be made, by democrats for partisan
purposes. In Kansas one only has to
look around and see the leaders ia
Red Cross, Liberty Loan, Y. M. G. a.
and all the various activities that are
being carried on without pay to see
that Republicans are doing their full
share. Of course, the salaried jobs
are all held by democrats, but no one
is especially complaining on that
score-it is a democratic administra-
ton. In congress the President gets
better support for his war measures
and policies from Republicans than
he does from his own party. This is
not assertion-it is a matter of pub
lie record. Two years ago Wilson
was elected on the slogan of "He
kept us out of war;. People now re-
alize that all the while war was in
evitable and that preparation was de-
layed to make that slogan effective.
Thousands who voted for the demo-
cratic nominee because they were
deceived by the slogan resent such
tactics. The effort to make politics
out of the war is not only poor poll
tics-it is stupid, So far as Kansas
is concerned it will have no effect this
year. Kansas is a loyal state. 1t Is
also Republican state and Repubh-
cans will vote their ticket because it
represents the thought and patriotism
of the state.
