LIGHT HAS BROKEN.

A short while since Senator Chamberlain II
the course of one of his speeches observed tha
the war department had practically ceased
Ifunctioning. Although that observation called
forth a caustic rebuke from the president Its
truth now stands revealed. Witness the col
lapse of the shipping board, the aircraft board
and the ordnance board, all under the Jurlsdlc-
| ton of the secretary of war. But there Is no
need to despair After year of weary waiting
| light has at last broken. Out of the muddle OF
the shipping board has come Schwab. Out of
| the middle of the aircraft board has come
Ryan. Not quite so perfect an appointment as
that of Schwab, but nevertheless good. Let the
good work go on and the people viii applaud
! with jubilant JOY. 1t can go on. The country
abounds with men whose commanding ability
has been demonstrated and who stand ready
and eager to serve. Why in such case was
Denman chosen 10 head the shipping board I
Likewise why is Baker retained as war secre-
ltarys Both positions require master builders.
Neither man has ever built anything Both are
commonplace lawyers. There are thousands
like them and hundred who tower above
them Why, if a lawyer had to be chosen, was
the choice not made from the hundred instead
|of from the thousands? Any one of the hundred
could not have failed to perceive the simplicity
of the task presented to the aircraft board.
England France, taly-each furnished specl-
mems of its best machines-machines whose
superb quality had been thoroughly proven.
The obvious thing was simply to copy them.
The task of doing this was one for skilled manu-
facturers, not ingenious inventors. But what
happeneds Why few inventors were called
together, locked up in room of Washington
hotel with instructions to produce engine
that would be masterpiece of perfection, and
after gestatory period of some forty eight
hours the birth of the Liberty motor was an
to waiting world. And that same
waiting world, to its bitter disappointment,
knows the pitiable result But light has brok-
en-; real men are now being called into service
and we rejoice

of Information with perhaps an intelli-
gence Office. II women and girls
wishing to locate in any part of Iowa
correspond with the mission before
leaving the south, the agency will en-
deayor to get them in touch with
right surroundings in this state.
I The need of the mission Is reported
to be urgent because OF war condi-
tions. Many colored men In the south
have been called to the coloFs. Tho
consequence is that their wives and
daughters come north where there IL
more work. What to do with this in
flux of colored women, many OF whom
are unframed in any vocation, is prov
ing problem.
An active part Of the young woman's
christian industrial missions work
will be to try to find suitable private
homes for worthy strange women of
the colored race to stay In, and per
haps to furnish competent help to re-
liable families.
Cooking and sewing, with perhaps
special hand laundry for the care of
fancy work. dainty articles and delicate
fabrics will be made enterprising fea-
lures Of the mission to help make the
work self supporting, and to afford
temporary employment for the tran
sients while awaiting permanent posi-
tons
The mission Will be kept open after
Moons only.

The pan Germans true Prussians of to-
day-want to keep the countries that have been
seized by the German armies-Belgium, Poland
and Rumania. Emil Zimmerman, brother of
the former German minister of foreign at
fairs, too well known in-the United States as an
international mischief-maker, urged Germany to
annex CourIand and the Lithuanian provinces
even if she loses her African colonies.
This is exactly the code of every robber-
steal whatever you can lay your hands upon
and in order to accomplish your object stop at
no violence Students Of history are by this
time becoming sufficiently enlightened to real
ize that the ruler government of a country
may be criminal just as much as, or rather on
bigger SCALE than the burglar, pickpocket or
sneak thief. Reading the story of Prussia in
this fashion we find that the great Frederick
took Silesia and shared in the partition of Po-
land, that William I took Schleswig- Holstein,
and that he also took Alsace- Lorraine from
France
The law, when it catches the individual rob-
Der, Furnishes him with Imprisonment, and, if he
has added murder to his crime, executes him.
A criminal nation certainly deserves punish
ment, but the only way that has hitherto been
found of making it pay the penalty is to defeat
it at war
The present war is the outcome of gigantic
predatory scheme to steal great part Of the
world and this scheme was to be carried out by
attacking millions of peaceful people, The
guilt of Germany has been proved by abundant
evidence.
The town of Whitewater, Kans, has sub
scribed more than two hundred thousand dol
lars to the third Liberty loan. Its quota was
ONLY forty thousand dollars. In view of such
record the town should change its name to
Highwater.

MAKING YOUR CAD" COUNT.

Davenport Democrat: Arthur Bris-
bane writes editorials along the same
lines that an efficient advertising
writer drafts an advertisement His
description of an ad-writer and his
work, therefore, has in it all the
punch of good ad.
The advertising writer. he says,
must enter into the nature of your
business. He must understand the
psychology of your customers.
He must automatically and with a
certain eye see Just how he can do
FOR YOU the five important things:
First, make people SEE your ad-
vertisement.
Second, make them READ it
Third, make them UNDERSTAND
it.
Fourth, make them BELIEVE it.
Fifth, make them WANT what you
offer.
That fs why the big business
houses now assign the charge OF
their advertising to an expert just
as naturally as they put a big man
In charge of their sales.
They don't put dollars into a shot

CANCEL THIS WAR DEBT.

Apropos of the Undesirable, unimaginabe
horrors that France has endured, the PROPOSE
ton to cancel her war debt to US is said to be
meeting favor throughout the land. Senator
Kenyon, Of this state, has introduced joint
resolution to that end and finds an enthusiastic
sentiment in favor of it wherever he has spok-
Ell on the subject Pillaged, plundered and sac
rificing everything to hold the enemies of civil
cation in check, France has stripped herself to
restitution in fighting our battle for US as well
as her own. If we should tell her, as we did not
long ago to China, to take the money due US
and use it for the good of her impoverished peo-
pie we should show ourselves to be IN fact as
we are in theory the great benefcent, altruistie
and compassionate elder republic of earth. Per
chance we will

A WORD TO CORRESPONDENTS

Because The Gate City opens Its columns to
the public for expression of opinion for or
against certain policies of city national in
tent, it should not be taken by correspondents
that they may overstep the bounds of propriety
of expression in communications which they ex-
pect to be printed in this newspaper. '.Leave
to print does not comprehend an allowance of
language bordering on the thin surface of the
law of libel nor does it include permission to
turn to abuse Of individuals or aspersion of mo-
tives of public servants. The Gate City receives
in the coure of weeks many letters that do not
see the light of publicity in its columns. Gen
orally, they are signed by the writer's. But for
the protection of these same writers and the
good repute of this newspaper they are not
printed. The reason for their non-appearance
is made clear In what is said here

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it. then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this il. all
you will need), apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel hundred
times better.

ON OUR METTLE.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: Right
and left, people who never thought
they could do certain things are
doing them-surprising themselves
surprising others. They are not asking
themselves if they are overtasked OF
overtired. They are not consulting
| their nerves or feeling their pulses
They are not anxiously studying their
symptoms for new outbreak. There
| is no room for hypochondria. The
need for instant, energetic action is
| opening many doors and windows and
sweeping out many a ccbwebbed
chamber. All of US, in time that
calls for whatever anyone can do, are
taking stock of what we have to con-
tribute to the common fund, not simp-
ly of money. but of sensible and well
directed effort, of patriotism with
tranquility that faces the future and
its great constructive task. of faith
that sees through the hour to Gods
eternity.
We are on our mettle. The war
did not ask of US if we were ready for
the colossal struggle; it came.
Whether our lamps were burning or
not, the importunate summons rang
in our ears. We had to show the
world the temper and the fiber of
our nation as whole and of our be-
ings separately. We learned that
there were things we could not de-
fer, nor throw off for the shoulders
OF others to assume, nor overlook in
foolish security, on the assumption
that they would take care of them
lselves.
Now is the time to build better
than we know; to exceed our max
inlum; to do our utmost, and then
redouble that utmost. There is no
leisure to admire ourselves, to in
wife applause, to receive engrossed
complimentary resolutions. There
are doings afoot that require our
incessant straining devotion. Let
been fought and won.
How the supposedly thoughtless
are emerging from butterflyhood!
How the futile and the fatuous are
achieving the sublime. Each day
there come stories Of the incredible
doings, whether at the front or behind
the lines, of those from whom moth
ing but the trivial or the craven
thing was expected. The coward
doffs the mask he wore and discloses
the hero. The mere button is trans
lated to the saint or the martyr. Of
a sudden the immature become the
adult, and those not thought to be fit
for responsibility, take up their burd-
en- and carry on" without falter-
ing, like the wisest veterans Of all.
War suddenly discloses, not merely
the ravaging beastliness of brutes.
but the singular and shining noble
ness of humankind that-in the long
run-vastly outweighs and outcounts
the evil. We dwell so close to hor-
ror that we do not see the other side.
The glory as of angels is hidden by
the black cloud of Apollyon's dark
ling pinions; but it is only in the
narrow valley of the shadow, it is
only for this brief term, that men
call years. This too will pass" 1t
is still Gods world and we are still
His children. II is for US to prove
who and whose we are.

ToDAY's BIT OF VERSE
THE CASTLE OF SILENCE


] have a castle of silence,
FIanked by lofty keep,
And across the draw5ridge lieth
The lovely chamber of sleep;
Its walls are draped with legends
Woven in threads of gold,
Legends beloved in dreamland
In the tranquil days OF old.
Here lies the princess sleeping
In the palace, solemn and still.
And knight and countess slImber;
And even the noisy rill
That flowed by the ancient tower,
Has passed on its way to the sea,
And the deer are asleep in the forest,
And the birds are asleep in the tree.
And in my castle of silence,
In my chamber OF sleep lie down,
Like the far-on murmur Of forests
Come the turbulent echoes of town,
And the wrangling tongues about me
Have now 10 power to keep
Ny soul from the solace exceeding
The blessed Nirvana Of sleep.
Lower the portcullis softly,
Sentries. placed on the wall;
Let shadows of quiet and silence
On all my palace fall;
Softly draw my curtains
Let the world labor and weep
BY soul is safe enyironsd
By the walls of my chamber Of sleep.
