PSYCHOLOGY HELPING
THE WIN THE WAR SPIRIT
s(By United Press. }

Washington, Aug. ~ ncle% sam
has been using applied psychology
to get all the American people to real
ibe that they are in the war up to
their necks. : 80 ~ :;
q With the. actual Z II hting: % 900
miles away, it was hard to make a
prosperous farmer, merchant or law
yer in the west, middle west or even
along the Atlantic seaboard realize
! Just how deeply America was commit
ed this war. And until all the people
fully realized that it was an enter
prise which might drain the bottom
dollar and the last man they would
not, SO Uncle Sam reasoned, be so
grimly in earnest, and so eager TO
give until it hurt, as if they had the
right view of the situation. 49, ....-. =: :
Justice Brandeis Of the Supreme
court is credited in Washington with
having given Uncle Sam the psychol-
ogy "hunch." At any rate, 1T has
been used and is being used with

Last winter when the coal short
age was So acute; fathere was much
talk about psychological famine
When folks found they ,could,t buy
coal. in the United States OF Ameri-
lea, the greatest coal country in the
world, they rather realized they were
in a war. And an order was issued
that churches must close. When you
close church to save coal, you start
a preacher thinking. A good many
American preachers figured that II
the situation was so serious as that,
it was time they began preaching
about the war a bit. And today hum
dreds, even thousands of them, who
were not saying much about the fight,
p simply keeping away from mention OF
it because they thought it their job
to provide contrast, are dinning war
and victory into their peoples ears,
and are proving excellent aids IN
whipping the war spirit to the nee
essary fervor. - 80. ~ss

people are now in thorough harmony
on the war, and are in it to VIC

Washington, Aug. 1.-The food
American army boys are getting now
is assuring them fine health.
In the wake Of data showing NOR
tality and sickness rates lower in
army camps than in most civil COM
munities, came word today that the
average soldier gaihs nine pounds
after entering the service.
Moreover, according to Maj. ]. r.
Murlin, it is sound flesh that will
"stick"
The American soldiers meat ration,
IN pounds, which is higher than
that of his British, French or Italian
brothers-in-arms, is making him
quic kon his feet, or, to speak the
medical lingo, "gives him quick de-
livery of maximum energy"

here. with lists of the aliens regis

Alien lists have been supplied,
through the Minnesota Dry Fedora

"Another thing we are going to
watch this fall,". said Former Cover

the vets to do what they can to roll
up big vote on governor and other
state officers, and try to- hold down

Americans stormed the positions and

s:. Continuous Battle. ~
All around. the salient there has
been a continuous battle during the
last two days, with the Germans
launching repeated counter-attacks
against the Allied lines. They have
all failed and the Allied have gained
important ground at various points.
Immediately south Of scissors and
west of Reims the German lines are
strongly held, but enemy efforts to
improve his position in the latter
region have broken down.
Will Retreat to Vesle.
There now seems to be little doubt
that the Germans will retreat to the
Vesle river as soon as possible, any
possibility Of making stand north of
the Ourcq being seemingly gone.
Against the new British positions
at Merris, in the Lys salient, where
the Germans were driven back by q
surprise attack on Tuesday, there has
beer a heavy bOmbardment. -
Plunging :northward from Sergy,
Am erican troops have made a bril-
liant and important advance in des-
perate fighting and apparently have
opened the way for further success

the Marne salient.
Enemy resistance of the stoutest
character was no obstacle for the
Americans, and they are now on the
Fere- En- Tardenois-C -Coulomges high
way south of the forest Of Nesle. The
advance by the Americans late TUES
day measured little less than two
miles. French troops on the wings
also moved forward, and Allied pres
sure on the west and east flanks of
the pocket Is being maintained with
force.
Drive New Wedge.
In their advance the Americans
drove new wedge into the enemy
line and the Allies ar now in posi-
ton to drive the Germans back by
flank movements both east and west
of the head of the apex, which lies
near Necles. Most exposed Is the
German lines from the Nesles region
southwark through Cierges to Ron
cheres. The line is about four miles
in length and offers an opportunity
to drive the Germans from the region
southwest of Vile En- -Tardenois
without a frontal attach against the
hills to the south.

On more than cne occasion Senator
Borah has taken exception to ailu-
sions to "leaders of the Republican
party In the senate" In doing so the
Idaho senator disclaims any title or
right to be considered Il ''leader' nut
he objects to any body Of self-consu-
tuted "leaders" speaking for the Re-
publicans ,f the senate. The last oc-
.casion when he adverted to this sub
iect was Mt the time of the appoint
ment of Charles +. Hughes as an In
vestigator of the aircraft imbrogio.
Now, It is fact that some Repuo-
licans felt the selection of Mr.. Hughes
was shrewd move on the part OF
President Wilson that would tend to
shut Off any possible partisan criti-
cism that could be made in regnrd to
aircraft production, especially II the
findings should be that there had
been no misuse of money or criml-
nal action. Some newspapers pub
lished stories to that effect and attrib-
uted the comments to Republican
Headers"
Senator Borah repudiated the idee
that there was any Republican objec-
ton to the selection of Mr.. Hughes.
A little later Senator Smoot remarked
that Mr.. Hughes selection "was as
as 1t was admirable"

"turn-down room" hear. OF course, 1t
is always accompanied by an expla-
nation as to rules, regulations or laws
which stand in the way of granting
the request.
That which was once sacred
tradition and an unwritten law in
the United States senate is now
only a memory. The tradition was
that a new senator should not take
part in the debates until he had sat
at the feet of the seniors for at least
one session. The tradition was shat
tered when 12 new senators entered
the senate 25 years ago, and it has
been put upon the scrap heap by the
progressive movement which has In
troduced into the senate many men
with a message and ideas on all sub
jects of public interest. And so the
tradition is but memory.
Old habitues of Ahe senate realized
this fact when, within two or three
weeks after taking the oath of office,
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin took an
active part in the discussion of the
rivers and harbors bill, and even be-
fore that he had shown a determine
ton to do his duty by objecting to va
rious pet measures of senators, which
have usually passed without opposition
on account of senatorial courtesy but
which have a somewhat dubious repu-
tation In the halls of legislation. What
is an interesting fact, in connection
with Lenroot's activity, is that he
was listened to by other senators and
say.
It is a characteristic Of nearly every
speaker of the house of representa-
tives that he desires to be absolutely
right In his rulings, although he natu-
rally desires to be on the side Of
his own party. But perhaps none of
the predecessors Of Speaker Clark was
quite so anxious to be impartial
and just as he is. Recently some
point was being argued in the house
which the speaker had decided, and as
the debate went along Congressman
Walsh of Massachusetts asked If the
speaker had not ruled on this ques-
ton.
"Yes," replied Champ: hut the
chair is not so everlastingly stuck on
his own ruling that he will not listen
to somebody else"
Here is another sacrifice that the
people of America have got to make,
coming in the way of a statement from
the forest service and referring to
President Wilson's appeal to the Boy
Scouts of America to help win the war
by locating black walnut trees. The
statement goes on to say that black
walnut lumber is needed for manu-
featuring airplane propellers and gum
stocks, and then mentions the scarcity
of black walnut in this country. Thirty
to fifty years ago there was great
deal of black walnut in the country.
but It was cut down and used for fire.
wood and for the manufacture of fur
niture. A considerable amount of old
black walnut furniture Is still in ex-
tstence. But the sacrifice which now
is to be made is the loss of the fruit
of the black walnut trees. There Is
no better, richer or more delicious nut
meat than that which comes from the
black walnut tree. Like all other
good things. It is hard to get. but
1t is very fine when obtained. But
as these trees are necessary for war
purposes. they win have to go. along
with many of the other luxuries which
the people of the United States have
