IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Charles City Pres: Try as we may
we cannot figure out why a shortgun
should be any worse than poison gas
LIQUID fire, aerial torpedoes and other
ingenious innovations made by the
ingenious Germans in this war. we
cannot even see that a load Of buck
shot fired at ten yards is any worse
than a shrapnel shell fired at l,0VO
yards. The ingredients are about the
same and meant for the same purpose
Certainly if shotguns will kill the
Huns with greater effectiveness than
any of the more conventional weap
ons in the battle zone, we are for
them. ~ :,
Waterloo Courier: In truth we don't
know what the word labor shortage
means yet. They know in France,
England and Germany, in degree
that we will never know.

THE ISSUE: WIN THE WAR.

Chicago Daily News: Patriotic re-
publicans will heartily subscribe to
the position taken by Chairman Hays
that no partisan issue should be
raised as to anything that touches
the war. Candidates in every con-
gressional district should be judged
first on the basis of their loyalty and
their fitness to help win the great
struggle for justice and democracy.
The right thinking voter does not care
particularly whether the next congress
is republican or democratic, provided
it is earnest, strong, capable and con-
structive, and provided it is deter
mined to cooperate with the chief ex.
ecutive in every wise effort dictated
by the necessity of winning the war
and saving civilization.

These trim, military suits that are
among the offerings for spring, are not
all camouflage. They bespeak alert
ness and readiness to serve on the
part of their wearers and they are
-brimming over with style. Made in
brown, tan and khaki-colored wOolens
or cottons, they are as soldierly as can
be. The skirts are plain and the coats

our lesson says "One secret of hap

the helper of others told of in the
bible record is certainly way to be
happy. Being kind and considerable

IIsPlRIT oF OUR FIeHTERs.
Chicago Daily News: Foreign opil

Chicago Daily News: Foreign opin-
ion concerning the attitude and demean
or Of the American fighters at the
front is worthy Of special remark.
These new and strange soldiers nat
urally have been studied with great
curiosity not only by the French, but
by British, Italian, Australian and
other observers. 1t is not without sig
nificance that all the yerdicts agree
on essential points.
What, then, in the opinion of for
eign o bservers, is the spirit of the
American fighters that are giving so
good an account of themselves in
France? The Americans, it is assert
ed by these observers, are very quiet,
very earnest, grim and determined.
They realize that they have terribly
difficult job to do and they are intent
on doing it we'll. They have no doubt
of the result and they do not stop to
( think or talk about the cost.
An Italian writer calls the Ameri-
can soldiers CRUSADERS" but notes
that they avoid rhetorical phrases and
boasts. They have clear vision; they
know they are right and are fighting
for Righteousness and this is enough
for them.
This vision, this conviction that
they are doing a necessary, a whole
some, a noble work, that there is moth
ing selfish, sordid, mean, dishonor-
able about their enterprise gives
Americas fighting boys both high
courage and remarkable steadfastness
and perseverance.
We who take so much pride in the
boys who have gone abroad to fight
for us should continually search our
own hearts and ask ourselves wheth-
or we are doing our work at home in
a way that is worthy of the spirit of
the army and navy. Are we backing
and supporting our boys with loyal
ty and earnestness at all comparable
to theirs? Are we putting aside all
thought of undue profit, OF politics, Of
partisanship, of ease, of personal re-
nown? Are we, from the chief eXecu-
tive down to the humblest worker and
citizen, giving to the country and its
cause the best that is in us? Are we
doing our full duty whole heartedly
or are we permitting or conniving at
slackness, inefiiciency, inertia?
These splendid young soldiers are
setting a fast pace for US here at
home. 1t will be shameful if we fail
to do our best to support them in the
same high, self sacrificing spirit that
they show in fighting for their cause
and ours.
THE BURY THE HAMMER CLUB.
Mrs. Broadmind's appeal for loyal
support Of public movements without
regard to social lines lead Brother
Liberal to get up on his feet at the
last meeting and venture a few re-
marks.
II think we are too much inclined
in our community movements he
said Ito think we can work only with
the same group Of people we have been
working with. If I don't work with
Smith because he goes to some differ
emit church or with Jones because ne
doesn't belong to the same lodge, We
are never going to get anything done.
we are too much inclined to hammer
the people from other groups who
start things for the community good,
1--WE seem to feel that they are do
ing it to enhance the prestige OF their
own church or lodge and do not give
them the credit for the community

ITALIANS CONTINUE
ADVANCE ON pave
WITHDRAWAL OF AUSTRlANS
AFTER DEFEAT SOON BECOMES
A DiSORDERLY ROUT.
Under Deluge Of Bullets and Shells,
Maddened Austrians Leap Into River,
Many Who Escaped Bullets Of
Pursuers Being Drowned.

ROme.-Italian troops on the south
ern part of the Pave front have not
only completely reoccupied the Cnpo
Sile bridgehead, but have extended it
and held the gain against Austrian
cOunter-attacks. The extension was
effected Wednesday. During the fight
ing nearly 1000 prisoners We're taken.
On the remainder of the front the
fighting was confined to artillery duels
and patrol actions.
Under the fire of Italian machine
guns and artillery, which were brought
up rapidly, the Austrian withdrawal
across the Piave soon became a dis
orderly rout. 1t is estimated the Aus
TRAN losses total more than 100000.
1t was u terrible sight as the mad
dened Austrians fled under the deluge
of italian bullets and shells. They
leaped into the river and grabbed
pieces of wood or anything that would
aid them; they tied themselves to
mules and horses, but their efforts
were in vain for as the enemy troops
reached the opposite bank they were
again caught by the fire Of the Italian
guns, which had been trained accur-
ately on the eastern bank for some
days.
On the MOntellO the slaughter was
terrific. Bodies of the Austrian troops
were moved down almost in their en-
tirety. At the crossing at Nervesa
both banks of the river were strewn
with dead and dying, while hundreds
Of bodies were carried down in the
current to the sea.
At one place the correspondent
counted 300 bodies while walking dis
lance of half mile. One regiment
OF covering troops, which originally
was composed of more than 1000 men,
had left Monday but 50 men to the
company, and these were prisoners.
Along the lower Pave the Austrians
found themselves, if possible, in
worse position and sustained heavier
losses.

Washington. White and cOlOred
draft registrants numbering 124,52J
were summoned to the colOrs for gen.
eral military service in call issued
on June 26 by Provost Marshal Gen
eral CrOwder. Mobilization will take
place at intervals during the month of
July, starting with the entertainment
of 33, 259 white selected men July 5.
This latest call, combined with that
for 100000 to be modified July 22-25

% and with the various special calls
previously issued, will remove from
civilian life during July total of 1857, :
961 men, the largest number of men

Although the order issued for 22O,-
600 men probably will deplete the
present availables in class one, in most
Of the draft districts, it was pointed
out that the bulk of the men called

after the middle Of the month, and by
that time 1t is expected the additions

OFFERS PEACE ON
GERMANY'S TERMS
kUEHLMANN REFUSES TO GIVE
PLEDGE ON BELGIUM IN
ADDRESS At BERLIN,
World Dominion Plan Disclaimed BY
Foreign Minister, Who 6Iames Rus
sia for Starting War, With France
Abettino Her.

AmSterdam.--Germa war aims
were briefly set forth, peace ideas
outlined, the idea that she desired tC
secure world domination through the
war disclaimed, and the responsibility
for the conflict primarily placed upon
Russia by DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann
the German foreign secretary, in q
speech to the reichstag in Berlin on
June "a.
While declaring that what was de.
sired for the German people and their
allies was ''free strong, Independent
existence" within the boundaries
drawn for them "by history" the for
eign secretary said Germany would
have to decline to make any prior con-
cessions by stating her position as to
Belgium in a way which would bind
her without similarly binding Ger
many'S enemies.
Referring to the responsibility for
the war. as he viewed it, DR.. Won
kuehlmann said:
Il do not believe any responsible
man in Germany, not even the emperor
OR the members of the imperial govern
ment, ever for a moment believed they
could win the domination of Europe
by starting this war. The idea of
world domination in Europe is Utopian,
as was proved by Napoleon"
After declaring that the revelations
that had been made showed Russia as
the power which planned and desired
the war, with France abetting her and
England's attitude strengthening the
Russian desire for conflict, DR.. Won
kuehlmann again declared that Ger
many had not entertained any belief
that this war could lead even to the
domination of Europe, and much less
that of the world.
With reference to, the peace situa-
ton, DIR. Won Kuehlmann quotes from
former Premier Asquith's speech of
May 16, in Which he said that the
British government would not turn a
deaf ear to peace proposal if it
We're not cOuched in ambiguous terms.
I'VE likewise can make the same
declaration" added the foreign secre-
tary, knowing it to be also our
policy"
Once the moment arrives, when !
care not to prophesy, that the nations
which are at present locked in battle
will exchange peace views, one of the
preliminary conditions must be certain
degree of mutual confidence in each
others honesty ehd chivalry."

STRIKE ONE MORE GIGANTIC
BLOW TO GET THROUGH.
Unprecedented Array Of krupps and

Albert to the Sea Indicates
Breaking of Storm Soon.

LOndOn.--Fo the first time on.u,v
repudiated in the reichstag by the head
foreign office, the German military
chieftains are believed to be feverishlv
preparing to strike one more gigantic
blow to disprOve Won Kuehlmann's sen.
satiOnal assertion that military deci.
siOns alone cannot bring the war TO
an end. Once more Il liie and death
struggle is on in the kaiser's realm
between diplomacy and the mailed fist
and the militarists are this time faced
by odds which no amount of promises
but crushing deeds alone can overcome.
Heavy Massing Of Artillery.
The unprecedented array of German
krupps and Austrian Skodas massed
all the way from Albert to the sea
prompts the British experts To expect
the next great attempt by Hindenburg
to be made against Haigs front, par
ticularly as the field marshal has for
four consecutive days reported heavy
artillery bombardments in various sec.
tors of his battle line. Henri Bidou,
the eminent French expert, taking a
leaf out OF the German political book.
says:
1.-THE enemy must seek a swift de.
cisiOn. An offensive is imminent on
the British front"
Premier Hughes of Australia, point
Ing to Kuehlmann's yelled warning of
American legiOns in the west before
the end of this war, says the foreign
minister's remarks have caused intense
dismay in the empire.
Race Against Time.
From the outset this years cam
paign has been for Ludendorff a race
against time. Now that the German
diplomats have once more revolted
against the junkers' empty boasts and
promises and are showing an eager
ness to demonstrate what they can
do with word and pen, the kaiser's
high command is at doubly desperate
odds and must strike with all its might
In one more gamble for a decision.

The amendment proposed by Senator

Besides disposing of the draft age

Another authorized the plan of basing

SULTAN WARNED To
APOLOGIZE 0RF|GHT
ULTlMATUM GIVEN TO TURKEY,
DEMANDING EXPLANATION OF
REGENT LOOTING.
Two Previous Messages to Turkish
Government Have Been Ignored,
But Third One Must Be Answered
or War Will Result. .

Washington.-A virtual ultimatum
was sent by the United States govern.
ment to Turkey, on June 25 demand
Ing an immediate and satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of the Tabriz incident.
There is strong reason to believe
that failure on the part of Turkey to
give favorable response will be follow
ed by declaration of war on the part
Of this nation.
The demand-the third sent to the
authorities in Constantinople since the
incident occurred-was forwarded by
Secretary of State Lansing through
the Swedish government. Sweden was
bearer Of one Of the two previous COM
municatiOns and Spain of the other. To
neither of these previous messages has
the Ottoman government paid the
slightest attention.
Message Is Urgent.
""This message" declared an official
of the department, referring to the de-
mand, means business"
The Offense, for which an explana-
ton Is demanded, is the action of the
Turks at Tabriz in sacking the United
States hospital. The United States
demands to know whether it was the
outcome of irresponsible mobbing, fol-
lowed by the capture of Tabriz by the
Turks.
Officials made no effort to conceal
their Impotence over the failure of the
Constantinople foreign office to pay
attention to the inquiries of this gov
ernment's demand, and it is admitted
that the relations between the two
governments have never been more
strained than they are at the present
moment
