In story of his experiences at the
'DardanelIes and in German prisons,
Gunner Depew says that while impris-
oned at Brandenburg war CORE
spondent named Bennett, representing
a Chicago paper, went through 3&the
camp. s'When he came to our bar
racks, says Depew, Il told him I was
an American and asked for the news.
Instead Of answering he asked all
sorts of questions. Finally, after I
had told him I had been in the French
service, 1 asked him if he could not
help me in any way. He answered
that I had only myself to blame and
that it served me right if I had been
in one Of the allied armies = This
correspondent was probably the
O'Donnell Bennett who wrote camou-
tagged kaiserite war articles for. the
Minneapolis Journal and other daily
papers, and whom the Union editorial
" denounced as an agent Of William
the Damned.

A treasury department report sub
mitted to the United States senate
shows in it's statistics on profteering
that one food dealer on the list Of ex-
tortionists made profit Of 2,183 per
cent, and the source from which this
statement comes is proof of it's au-
thenticity. In the face Of such rob-
berry is it any surprise that food
prices are daily, advancing and con-
sumers complaining? A dealer who
takes advantage of his country's diff
culties to rob the public and thereby
amass wealth is rascal of the deepest
dye. In ancient times he would have
been stoned to death, and that is none
too drastic penalty for him even
now

SOCIALISTS INCONSISTENCY.

Leading socialists like John Spargo
and Allen L. Benson-the latter the
presidential candidate of the party in
1916-have quit the socialist party
because of it's un-American attitude
as enunciated in it's St. Louis plat
form. The socialist party in this coun-
try is dominated by foreign-born
theorists, largely Germans, whose
fad is internationalism Comment
ing on Mr.. Benson's detection, the
North American Reviews War Week
~ points out that German socialists
were before the war the loudest in the
world in talking Of the universal
brotherhood Of man and in advocating
the international solidarity of work
ingmen. Yet the moment the war be-
gan they We'd with the most swash-
buckling Junkers in siding with their
own government against the working
men Of all countries, although they
knew that their government had de-
liberately started the war against the
very principles of social democracy to
which they had pretended to be de-
voted.

DR.. Lulu Peters Of Los Angeles
assaiIs fat people in no uncertain
terms. She says it is unpatriotic to
be adipose- that the fatty matter in
our construction is needed by the I'M
dernourished here at home and by the
soldiers in France. If Lulu will only
devise some means Of extracting the
fat from our systems many Of US
would gladly contribute to her lard
pail. She probably does not know
that in many instances adiposity is
constitutional-that some people
would grow fat if fed on sawdust
breakfast foods or even hay. We
opine that Lulu is one Of those skinny
old maids who has failed in her at
tempts to put on fat and is therefore
green with envy because SO many Of
her acquaintances have well-rounded
forms.

The administration has been de-
nounced so often by kaiseritic con-
gressmen and calamity howlers in
high places for it's dilatoriness that
it does us good to see President Will
son take fall out Of them. This he
did in making an Official announce
ment that we now have over a million
troops in France, or more than double
the number promised up to July l,
and, if the war council at Versailles
decides that it needs 100000 addi-
tional by the end Of the year they
will be supplied. This should be suf-
ficient to decide the bellyaching liars
who are circulating stories for the
kaiser's consolation to shut then
mouths before their teeth are knocked
down their threats.

The bloodthirsty kaiser and his gan

The bloodthirsty kaiser and his gang
of assassins, who have been feeling
around for compromise peace, were
given their answer in President Will
sons address at Mount Vernon on
independence day. In speaking to a
small gathering Of officials and diplo-
mats Of the allied nations he virtually
spoke to the world his message was
cabled to the uttermost parts Of the
earth. The president reiterated his
statement Of few weeks ago in which
he declared that there would be no
peace until Prussianism was crushed,
and that force without stint or limit
would be used to bring about this end.
The beastly kaiser knows by this time
how his finish will be accomplished.

Many Of the little papers which
were knocking the administration be
cause it was not accomplishing things
with sufficient rapidity to suit their
fancy have discovered the error of
their ways and are offering humble
apologies, while others have found
that there is no money in bucking the
administration and have been COM
PEELED to discontinue publication. A
newspaper which makes a practice of
finding all the fault it possibly can
with the administration of national
affairs should be suppressed. Nothing
but papers loyal to the core should
be permitted to exist.

Occasionally of late we have thought
that that sterling advocate of union
labor, the Labor World Of Duluth, was
off color-too pessimistic, too social
istic. But a perusal Of the issue of
July 9Th has restored our faith in the

patriotic sentiments. Billy McEwen's

he live to advocate and promote. the

AVOID CONTENTIOUS ISSUES.

Organized labor, especially in the
east, has protested against statutory
prohibition by congress, and it is a
protest that should be needed. This is
no time to force an issue that will in
the slightest degree retard the win
ming Of the war.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board fears the effect of such proposed
Legislation on the shipyard workers,
and, having in mind what occurred in
England and Scotland when a like
measure was proposed in the British
parliament, his fears are we'll ground
ed.
A writer in the New York Times
takes the position that fad legislation
should be side-tracked for the present,
and he reasons wisely when he says !:
In these days when there is vacant
chair beside nearly every hearthstone
in the land, when everybody's mind
and soul is somewhere in France"
does it not seem singularly malapro-
pos, to use no stronger word, to keep
up the SenSeleSS agitation TOR woman
suffrage and prohibition? Are these
issues, hitherto considered rather sec
ondary affairs, suddenly clothed with
such tremendous import that the win
ming of the war must be sidetracked
for them? Are people whose hearts
are already torn with grief and loss
and pain and those soon to go through
the valley Of the shadow to have no
rest at all from the noxious and pes
tiferous agitators to whom nothing is
sacred but "the cause" whatever it
may be? Cannot these disturbers of
the peace wait till the war is over and
men and women can sit down and
calmly and dispassionately and logi-
cally discuss these things? Cannot
they wait till the return of the soldier
boys from France and give them a
chance to vote? Are they afraid Of
the soldier vote?

FOUR RUSSIAN POLICY. =


III Up to date this country has given
only q quasi recognition to the Bolshe-
wiki government Of Russia, and that
government is apparently controlled
by German mercenaries. Some of the
newspapers are vigorously urging
that it is the duty Of the United States
to intervene in Russian affairs, but
how and for what purpose they do not
make>flear.
In discussing "Our Russian Policy
the brilliant and versatile journalist,
Col. George Harvey, seems to be as
much in the dark as some Of the rest
of US, as witness these two paragraphs
from his War Weekly:
We really seem in need Of dia-
gram, with explanatory notes, to make
clear the purport of our Russian poll
cy. Various items Of it are perfectly
plain; but between them there is what
to- the ordinary mind seems to be an
'irreconcilable conflict. We are ready
and eager to believe that it is all right,
that Fall are but parts of one stupen-
dous whole" But for the sake of the
multitudes who will not accept what
they cannot understand we should like
to have the harmonious correlation Of
the parts more lucidly demonstrated.
For example: We are to intervene
in Russia, but not with force. We are
to give industrial and administrative
aid, provided it is accepted, toward the
rehabilitation of the country. That is
a most benevolent policy, for which
we must wish the largest possible
measure Of success, and of the accepta-
bility Of which to Russia there should
be no doubt. Yet concerning the ap-
zplication of it two questions arise,
which doubtless have been fully and
satisfactorily answered by the admin
istration, but the answers have not, so
far as we have perceived, been dis
closed to curious and interested
public. One is, to what governmental
authority our overtures are to be pre-
sented for sanction and acceptance.
The other is, what guarantees we are
to have that our aid will not in fact
accrue to the advantage Of the Ger
mans who now occupy large part of
Russia and apparently control the
rest

A French newspaper says that
American soldier boys are getting
particularly chummy with the girls OF
Paris and predicts many marriages
after the war. So far as we can see
the boys can scarcely be blamed for
shining up to the vivacious petite
brunettes Of sunny France, neither
can we blame the little mademoiselles
for encouraging our manly boys at
tentions and publicly kissing them.
Even distinguished men Of France
kiss our boys.

If the cut in the size Of plug tobac-
