The partial eclipse of the sun attracted
the attention of many people here last
Saturday evening. The sky was almost
clear of clouds and through smoked or
colored glass very pretty view could be
obtained. The brightness of the sun not
ohscurea by the moon almost prohibited
looking at it with the naked eye.

eat but little meat and none at ali for
supper, you will more than likely avoid
the sour stomach without taking any
medicine whatevr. When you have sour
stomach take one of Chamberlain Tab

hearts these men would kiss anything
do anything, swear to anything, in
order to gain immunity. This does
not signify they mean what they do
On the contrary, according to the
eternal fitness of things, it will
cause them to hate the flag more
than ever before. If they are wise
they will not show this, but in their
heart of hearts the bitterness be.
comes more and more intense.
The American flag is too sacred
an emblem to be made the insulted
subject of such mockery. There is a
more fitting way of Furnishing alien
enemies. There is far more dig.
nified way of handling such carac-
tiers. The flag can be spared any
such scenes and the result arrived
at will be far more satisfying.
All true Americans love the flag.
When they kiss the folds 1t is with
reverence and not with smothered
curses on their lips. They respect
the flag and have in their hearts a
profound love for this emblem OF
liberty. The alien who is compelled
through force to kiss the flag, does
SO with feeling of contempt for
himself and a greater feeling OF
contempt for the flag and the Ameri-
can people. He has been given ad-
ditional cause for his accumulated
hatred of America. He smiles grim
" and devises ways and means OF
getting even.
Those who traduce the flag, our
president or the Administrations war
propaganda should be severely dealt
with and in strict accord to the grav-
ity OF their offense. This spectacular
holiday spectacle of an armed body
of men forcing reluctant kiss from
the lips of a German alien for flag
he despises does not make him love
the stars and stripes. and it is ridicu-
lous to expect him to regard the
performance otherwise than cheap
theatrical display.
Keep the American flag for ap-
preciative loving lips to kiss. Do not
permit its folds to be insulted by
the biasphemous lips of those who,
because of the fear of death, are
subjected to the mockery of such an
ordeal.
We must honor our flag and keep
its folds unsullied.

LIE MILLS ARE ACTIVE

In connection with war operations,
a splendid plan to adopt is to re-
fuse to believe any report that does
not come officially from\ Washing
ton. The lie mills of the enemy are
active, and they are located in all
parts of the country. 1t is the pol
icy of the enemy to stir up discon-
tent, apprehension and terror by any
and every means in his power, and
he will scruple at nothing in order
to carry his point. Well he knows
that any cause of anxiety or unrest
subtracts from American efficiency.
Every loyal citizen of the United
States should be assured of one
trnth--his government will advise the
public freely of every circumstance
in connection with war activities that
directly affects said public. We do
not have to depend on rumor for in
formation, because the bureau of in
formation is in existence for the
purpose of supplying the people with
the truth in every instance.
Just a few instances of needless
worry over maliciously false reports
might be cited. Recently the report
was spread that ground glass had
been found in the food of the soldiers
in some of the camps. The report
was at once investigated by the au-
thorities and found to be absolutely
false and without the shadow Of
foundation-a malicious lie, deliber-
ately circulated for the purpose of
sowing alarm and discomfort. When
the falseness of the report was prov
en-, the government treasured the
people and we have heard no more
OF the matter
Then the report gained currency
that some of the camps were located
in VIGOROUSLY unhealthy localities,
and that epidemics of measles, men,
nights and other diseases were rag
ing. These too we're given the lie
by the government, and it was plain
" shown that not in any camp had
the death rate been above normal
for the country, and in most instan-
ces was in fact far below normal,
demonstrating the health efficiency
of the entire army environments.
America can win the war. She
will win the war. But she can sub
tract from her efficiency and un-
necessarily prolong the conflict II
she suffers herself to become alarm.
ed over every idle report or malicious
lie that is circulated. We must keep
cool and apply every ounce of our
energy in work that counts in aid OF
our government and the brave boys
who are to fight our battles on the
fields of Europe and on the seas.
Trust your government. 1t is right
and it has due regard for your
peace of mind. and everything that
you should know that is calculated
to affect the peace of mind will be
duly communicated to you by those
in authority.
Bury the products of the lie mills
in utter unbelief. That way it will
be harmless.

1t is not so much a question OF
one criticising the administration,
but is or is not that criticism just.
If just, it is up to the administration
to remove the cause. If unjust, the
critics have committed an inexcus-
able blunder. The really patriotic
course, however, would have been to
back up and sustain the admins
tration in such manner that there
need have been no occasion for the

One Of the interesting characters seen on the roads behind the line. is the military policeman. He is station ed at every crossroads. regulating traffic with all the gestures of a pro- fessional traffic policeman in s New York or Chicago, but in a Khaki uni form and with, a fed bfassard on his arm as the badge of his authority.
 Eve ything. from a. gigantic motor truck to g sputtering motorcycle comes within his jurisdiction. The lhaughtiest staff car, with, it's proud staff flags and it's red capped passengers, is subject to tie law as laid down by that firm arm in khaki. ... .-,,,, s.~, .,.,,.
 It is a motley pageant that, he mar shals. There are bis. closed cars con- taining generals, there are great open cars filled with young staff officers of lesser raiik but alert, energetic and keen. There are. evenly in owing am buiances with the doctor sitting calm beside the driver. There are huge lor- ries, long columns of them ,.ts. .,.
 All day long the rush of traffic on these great main roads continues. To- wards night the roads are sometimes puieter. but there is still activity. All through the night the lorries plod on their way backward and forward, the cars dash by. the despatch riders come and go, There is no rest. Layer after layer of white dust settles on the houses and the fences; Day after day the machinery behind the, war goes Whirrihg on, growing constantly more complex and more powerful.
