Heln Feed a Soldier

Do you know that every bushel of wheat now saved means support of T soldier on the battle line until the next harvest?' says the Woman's Home Com. panion.
 As no soldier can live without foo 1, every bushel of wheat is the actual equivalent ot fighting unit. The moral is clear. We must suppl soldiers. But it is useless to supply the fighters themselves unless we can also supply the where withal upon which the soldier lives. Ths number of men we can put in the field is in direc. relation to the number of men we can feed in the field

GERMAN SPIES.

Danger from German spies in this
country is largely thing of the past.
The Germans are doing very little
spying at the present time, for two
very good reasons. The chief reason
is because most of the German spies,
who were in this country when the
United States entered the war, are in
detention camps where they can do
no harm. And those who are not in
detention camps are not at all
anxious to be hung. They know
that the Unied States is now the most
capably policed country in the world; ;
that there are now in our police and
secret service, or cooperating with it
by definite agreement, 1000 men for
every one man so engaged, when war
was declared year ago last April;
that the Federal secret service has
representatives at all meetings Of any
importance; that the government en-
ploys large numbers of men and some
women in this branch Of the service,
who understand and speak the German
language.
The department of justice has the
spy problem so we'll in hand, that
bridges and public buildings are not
visibly guarded as they were year
ago and gates in the vicinity of the
White House that were locked and
barred year ago are now wide open
apparently unguarded.

corn, the probability of dry nation
in the near future looms larger and
larger.
The fact that millions Of people are
interested in the action of the sever
al states on this amendment to the
constitution, induced the publishers
of the Literary Digest to secure a
forecast of the probable outcome.
This they did by submitting the fol-
lowing question to the members of
the legislatures of the several states
that have not yet approved the amend
ment: "Do you think the legislature
of your state will ratify the National
prohibition amendment"
To this question 2,076 answers
were received. OF this number 1926
were yes, III no, ISL qualified yes
and 1913 qualified no. Only two states
showed a definite forecast against
the amendment Among the answers
from Iowa there were So yes and not
single unqualified no.
There are 4S states and it requires
the approval of threeIfourths of them
to amend the Federal constitution. A
majority of the states that have yet
to act on this prohibition amendment
have already enacted state prohibition
and the adoption Of national prohibi-
ton is almost foregone conclusion.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1918-08-21

the greater the numbers of locomo-
tives and cars and the larger the
amount of track and terminal facili-
tiles that will be freed for essential
TROOP and war material movements.
Engineers, firemen and other skilled
laborers will also be released for SER
vice on troop and necessary freight
trains. ..
Among the many patriotic duties of
the American public at this time is the
duty to refrain from travelling un-
necessarily. Every man, woman and
child who can avoid using passenger
trains at this time should do so. I
earnestly hope that they will do so.
Not only will they liberate essential
transportation facilities which are
necessary for war purposes, but they
will save money which they can invest
in Liberty Bonds and thereby help
themselves as well as their country;
and the fewer who travel, the more
ample the passenger train service will
be.
may say that consistently with the
paramount demands of the war every
effort is being made by the Railroad
Administration to supply the largest
amount of comfortable and prompt
passenger train service.

Director General of Railroads.

TREND OF BATTLE STILL IN FA'
VOR OF ALLIES.

Every day during the past week
the Allies have smashed the Huns at
some part of the battle line in France.
Since Sunday morning one French
army has gained upwards of 4 miles
on a Is mile front and captured TO-
600 prisoners. The Germans aow sur
rendering much more readily than
heretofore, which is proof that their
morale is weakening and there is
good reason for this weakening. There
are now 1,45OOOO American soldiers
over there and more arriving every
day.
And the news from Russian is also
quite encouraging. Lenine and Trot-
zky, the betrayers of Russia, are flee
ing. from that country. According to
the latest report they are now on a
war ship near Kronstadt, under the
protection of the German flag. And
their dupes, the Bolshiviki, are re-
ported as panic stricken over the
prospects of having to contend with
a large Japanese army, as we'll as an
army of Russian peasants who have
no use for the treacherous Bolshiviki
and their German masters.

JUSTICE AS WELL AS LIBERTY
MUST LIVE.

Justice and liberty are coordinate
elements in every democracy. The
person who aids or encourages law
less acts, especially those pertaining
to the war; is menace to the country.
The 1ynching of an innocent German
IA few months ago, by drunken ILL
nois mob, may be an excuse for re-
prisals on our soldiers in German pri-
son camps.
It is safe to say that the person,
who attempts to justify lawlessness,
is a thoughtless individual; and ninety
nine times in every hundred the per-
son who engages in lawless assault
is a coward.
Attorney General Gregory, in a re-
cent address, condemned the spirit Of
lawlessness that was observable in
some places, and said that unless stop
ped it's results would be deplorable.
He said, Lynch law is the most cow
ardly of crimes. Invariably the vic
tim is unarmed, while the men who
lynch are armed and large in num-
berS"

RAILROADS ISSUE ORDERS FOR
TRAFFIC RELIEF.

The following important notice has
[been issued to all agents and yard
masters by the Illinois Central rail-
|road company: -..
In order to relieve transportation
facilities of as much traffic as posi-.
ible next winter and to prevent recur.
irenee of the conditions which existed
last winter, due to the great demand
upon carriers, it is desirable to con-
duct an active campaign along the fol-
lowing lines:
1. To induce Industries located in
your territory to store during the sum-
mer months materials to meet their
demands during the winter.
2. Urge wholesale concerns and
distributors to persuade customers to
take delivery of goods now. .
8. Encourage the use Of additional
|storage space for factory products,
wherever possible, nearest to the point
of ultimate consumption.
a. Impress upon all shippers and
receivers of freight the difficulties Of
Transportation that are likely to oc-
cur this winter and to prepare for
billiards., zero weather, by taking ad-
vantage of summer conditions.
S. The storage of fuel oils Of es-
pecial Importance and all users should
be urged to stock up for their own
protection.
6. For the present at least, the
question of lumber should be held in
allegiance as the needs. of the govern
ment departments are extremely hea-
Wy and it has not yet been determined
what amount of transportation should
be- spared for commercial lumber, but
this matter will be taken up and you
will be advised later as to the amount
of commercial lumber that may be
transported with view of giving all
lumber yards some stock for use dur
ing the winter.
Z. The storage of coal is being
handled by the fuel administration,
whose efforts should be supplemented
by the officials assigned to this work

ONLY THE ISSUE OF BATTLE.

The President has stated unquali-
fiedly that he does not desire the re-
election of Senator Vardaman, Of Mis-
sissippi, and it is quite safe to say
that he does not desire the election of
any other democrat who is not 100
per cent. loyal to his country in this
hour of supreme trial.
The issue of battle is the only is
sue in the United States today. What
have heretofore been considered
Democratic and Republican policies
went out of fashion, if not entirely out
of existence, when the khaki clad
legions Of Americans commenced to
make glorious history on the battle
fields of France.
When the wires under the ocean
commenced to carrying casualty lists,
containing the names Of our bravest
and best, new political duties con-
fronted every voter, and chief among
these new duties is the obligation
resting upon every voter to help elect
congressman and senators, who can
be implicitedly relied upon to first,
last and all the time, do everything
in their power to help their country
win the war, and win it at the earliest
date possible.
Iowa, by practically unanimous
vote, will re-elect Senator Kenyon,
not because he has heretofore been a
Republican, but because he is the
most worthy man for the office, and
because the President desires his re-
election.
And there are three or four Iowa
congressman, who should not be re-
elected, because they have not been
100 per cent. loyal to their country
since it entered the great world war.
Without regard to their previous
political affiliations, the President is
striving impartially to drive that
class of men out of congress, and
every voter who is loyal to the adj
ministration in it's prosecution of the
war, should help the President to rid
congress of it's undesirable members

MOB LAW AND TREASON.

The President, as we'll as the At
torney General, is striking at mob
law, and calling upon "the COVER
nors of all the States, the law offic-
ers of every community in the Unit
ed States, and, above all, the men
and women of every community in
the United States, all who revere
America and wish to keep her name
without stain or reproach, to cooper
ate-not passively merely, but active
ly and watchfully, to make an end
of this disgracefu1 evil"
And here is another extract from
the Presidents letter: mo man who
loves America, no man who really
cares for her fame and honor and
character or who is truly loyal to her
institutions, can justify. mob action
while the courts of justice are open
and the governments of the states and
the nation are ready and able to do
their duty"
There are, upwards of 100000 of
people f t'is country who were born
in foreis.,. enemy countries. Nearly
all of these foreign born people are
loyal to the, country Of their adoption,
and tensN Of thousands of them are
helping to carry our flag to victory.
And tens 81 thousands of our colored
troopa are fighting bravely for Ameri-
Ca AZ aStiine like this it is little, If
any, less than treason for mobs to
aim their.shafts at people of any race.
The New York World throws its
lance at the counterfeit patriotism
which expresses itself in outrages
upon people merely suspected of enc
my sympathies."
To make all parts of the country
safe against mobs it must be made
decidedly unsafe for those who resort
to mob violence. -
The President and the Attorney
General have duly notified that class
of law breakers, and, unless their
warning is needed, object lessons
will assuredly follow, lessons like the
I. W. W. got from Federal jury in
Chicago last week,
