London, Jan. 29.-(By Mai).-If
George Creel, or whoever has the pick
ing, hasn't picked a chief naval censor
yet here are the specifications:
A man who looks as Lord Fisher
would have looked If he had turned out
handsome instead of the way he did; if
his nose hadn't turned up so far and
his mouth down so far; if ne had found
it easier to smile than to scowl and
easy enough to do either as circum-
stances required; if tht wind on the sea
had put an English blush in his cheeks
without dimming the sharp blue OF his
eyes. That would be a man like Commo-
dore Sir Douglas Brownrigg, who keeps
the lid on British naval secrets as well
as it is possible to do so-which by the
vote of American correspondents is suf-
f~iciently well.
1t probably won't be possible in Amer
lea 10 find a man SO faeially adapted
to work as Sir Douglas is. When l met
him today in the musty old part Of the
Admiralty building where he has his
office, he looked as though he had just
finished eating one American journalist
missionary and was hungry for another.
But appearances do deceive: He was
very gentle and kind. 1t was Meatless
Friday and he had been lunehing, he
said. on a fascinating work of fiction.

"Too well9'
"Too convineingly. He's got one
chapter describing the shooting OF some
German prisoners-they deserved to be
he shot, according to the story-down
in the dark cellars of London Tower.
Ii really wouldn t be bad propaganda IN
Germany perhaps. 1t might be a warn
ing TO a certain well known type OF our
esteemed enemy. But it's written too
convineinglv. You couldn't persuade
Germans who read it that it is pure
fiction. And that might be bad for Brit
ish prisoners in Germany"
This led the Chief Censor to dis
euss some Of the things he has to THINK
about. He recalled various isolated and
apparently insignificant little news stor-
les that it had been found necessary to
suppress. Each by itself was harmless.

NO MAKE SHIFT ACCEPTABLE

1t is intimated Germany will soon make another offer
of peace based on her recent advantages, so called, in
Russia. 1t is claimed she will be willing to surrender
Belgium, and Serbia and even parts of Alsace-Lorraine
of she will be permitted to hold what she has grabbed in
Russia and the east. This would give her what she
wanted most at the beginning Of the war, an outlet to the
Orient; a Berlin to Bagdad railway. 1t would be an
acknowledgment Of the kaiser's supremacy, of a German
victory, and therefore can never be considered. Any
peace that does not see the power of the Hohenzollerns
broken and the Hun and militarism forever done away
playing into the kaisers hands, allowing him a breathing
spell to renew his strength and gather his forces for
another struggle for world supremacy. There may be a
peace patched up, but there will be no real end to this
war until the kaiser is thoroughly whipped or the balance
of the world is. 1t is another such g condition as faced
Rome when her greatest leader said: Carthage must be
Peace and the kaiser cannot exist at the
same time.

Considering that Germany started peace negotiations
with Russia on the basis of no anneXations and no IN
IDENTITIES, she managed to make pretty liberal terms with
herself. The indemnitieS demanded of Russia and agreed
to by the BolSheviki amount to S4,635,O0O,OO0 and the
annexations, if they also include Finland, a territory larg-
er than all of Germany, What would have been left the
Russians had the negotiations been based on indemnities
and anneXations?

In the light of the indemnities levied on the Russians
by Germany it would be a prolific field for calculations for
the citizens of this country to size up the probable de-
mands Germany would make on them should she prove
the winner. Measured by ability to pay the United States
could dig up fifty billions as easy as Russia could pay the
sum demanded of her as preliminary to accepting a Ger
man made peace treaty.

It is claimed the French veterinarians perform an
operation on the government mules that prevents them

ing Of the tail. In old Apache days down in Arizona the
prospectors used to muzzle the mule or burro by ~cinching
hin tight and then taking a couple Of half bitches on his
tail with a baling rope drowning it down tight so he could
not lift it, and fasten it to the cinch. The discs on a
burro's victrola are in some way connected with his tail
for he cannot, or at least will not, bray unless he raises his
fly swatter first.

About the biggest thorn in the side of the militarists
lust now is the British army in Mesopotamia. This
draws most of its supplies from India and hence is not a
drain on the resources of the allies. At the same time it
keeps the Turk from getting lonesome and may eventual
Nv result in eliminating him from the war.

The campaign for the sale of thrift stamps started in
Marion county today. AS a beginning about $4,000 is on
hand of the $972,000 which is Marion county's quota.
Returns for the past few days were about $1,000 a day,
and this daily return will be required for the balance of
the year, in order to make the full quota. This thrift
stamp subscription is calculated to raise a grand total in
the United States Of 100000, 900. In this connection it
may be stated the quota for the county is almost exactly
what is required to meet the taxes levied in it.

France, Sunday, and shown what the American engineers
have done toward making it a first class port Of entry for
