This editorial is written for the benefit of loyal
citizens who wish to know the truth. We don't care
how many pro-Huns it makes mad.
We have not copy of the Minnesota Leader
Non-Partisan Leader since the primory but we
these publications claim that the
New York Evening Mail opposed the Non-Partisan
League. The Mail is the New York paper into which
the German government put million dollars for
the purpose spreading German propaganda in this
country.
Three ago stated that the Evening Mail
had supported Townley and the League and yet last
well inforced citizen at Dan LINER of Swan
Lake told this not true because he
in the Leader that the Mail had opposed the
League.
Our editorial was copied into the Hinckley Enter
prise, and evidently equally well informed citizen
set the Enterprise right mentioned in the
following editorial from the Enterprise
Last we copied article from the Morris
Tribune called attention the New York Mail,
which has recently been seized by the be-
of it's ownership being the only eastern
paper that lauded Townley when he made that eastern
trip obtained audience with President Wilson.
This week clipping from the NonPartisan Leader was
received from who seems to be ashamed of
his league membership he indication to whom
was, that claimed the Mail opposed to the league.
The support of the league by the Mail is matter Of
little moment except in far it adds proof of the
disoyal work of the league. The Tribune article
printed last week true The Mail the only
paper lauded Towney in series editorials
boosted the league. ALI the other eastern
condemned his activities and questioned his loyalty
AS agent for German propaganda must above all
things keep itself free from suspicion possible it
would be the natural thing for the Mail to back
the league and to condemn it when there is
public expression of than doubt of it's loyalty
many of its leaders have been convicted Of dis
loyalty this than accounts for it's change of
front"
In saying that the New York Evening Mail opposed
the League the Leader iedprovided statements made

Soldiers with Special Training.
In the tables of organization, which
are confidential notes show opposite
each classification in every organiza-
ton what sort of previous experience
the holder of that post should have.
This is part Of the present plan to
put each nan in the post where he
will be most valuable and to utilize
experience gained in civil life in army
activities.
All sorts OF requests for specially
trained men, outside seventy or more
specific classes needed regularly, came
to the personnel office. Two regi-
ments wanted electrical and mechan-
zeal engineers. Several wanted gun
smiths. One wanted a number of
tractor operators. The volunteer May
ers, who present free entertainments
for the soldiers, asked to be put in
touch with actors, scenic artists, cleo
trlclanS, property men and stage car
penters. Virtually every request was
filled.
The cards showed that draft men
had all sorts of occupations, from
graduate dentist to blacksmith. To
aid in classifying them, each card was
provided with a tab. A green tab
slgnltled an expert, a red one, a skill
ed but not expert worker, and so on.
A definite statement of each mans
chief occupation is placed on each
card. A typical one was: call

the margin will be slight and it has
been urged that every effort should
be made to encourage every factory to
increase the production of sugar. 1t
has been found that small factories
are hampered in attempting a large
production through the scale of prices

Secretary Ensign is just in receipt
of a very interesting and encouraging
report from the manager of the Cal

covering the 1918 exposition which
closed July 6. This report shows "a

of war. And the livestock show was
the best in the history of this par

sheep and 400 hogs on exhibition. In
speaking of this remarkable showing
Secretary Ensign said:
"This report just goes to show that

The attempt at justification Is con-

German readers must obtain the i'm
preston that the ridiculous in~sistenoe
upon the "perpleXity and helpless
ness" at General Foch conceals az
eager German desire for General
Foch to show his hand.
The Frankfurter Zeitung concludes
as follows:
General Foch has to choose wheth-

or the Rheims area as the more SER
iously menaced or whether he must
regard both as equally menaced. 1t
has to be remembered that, since the
cutting of the railways in the valleys
of the Aisne and the Marine, these two
aras are no longer directly connected
as they were before. Over and above
this, the old question remains-wheth-

Draft Recruits at Camp kearny.
The way in which the personnel Of
flee of the Fortieth division handled
the work of assigning to their units
the thousands of draft recruits who
recently anne here from Camp Lewis,
American Lake, Washington, forms
an interesting commentary in refuta-
ton of traditional criticism of army
"red tape"
lnasmuch as plans for the handling
of these draft contingents were made
days before the ~trainins bringing the
recruits arrived, extra hours were the
rule in the personnel office for ten
days or so prior to that event. The
hours heightened materially when the
trains began to come in for some of
them came as early as 5 a. M, and
others as late as 1870 a. M, and more
OF the recruits were forced to wait
very long before assignment to some
infantry company for quarters anc

resented in the records by yeight pa.

attached. The eighth, the personne

NOT LICENSE TO WASTE.

1t will be the policy of Herbert
Hoover, National Food Administrator
to suspend the operation of his de-
partment Of the government just as
soon as the necessity for its existence
is past, according to a statement from
the headquarters of the Federal
Food Administration for Georgia.
Not only this, but food restrictions
and regulations will be suspended as
rapidly as conditions make it pos
sible. This policy has already been
carried out with reference to wheat
flour substitutes, which are no longet
required, The allotment OF sugar to
soft drink and candy manufacturers
has also been increased. In all other
lines the Food Administration viii
follow the same policy.
This does not mean, however. that
the people are at liberty to waste
food or stop their efforts at conser-

ment is lifting restrictions as rapidly
