His "IdeaI Generals

The kaiser persists in the amusing
pretense that the downfall of Russia is
a feat of arms on the part Of his
troops. He says that the Germans.
''led by ideal generals, have broken the
Russian power and won the safety OF
the empire in the east" These gen
erals may be ideal, but they will have
to prove it somewhere else than in
Russia. Taking candy from a sick
baby, taking pennies from blind man,
stealing coppers from dead mans
eyes, are Napoleonic feats compared
with the exploits of the "ideal gen
erals" A great empire has been torn
from Russia and added to Germany,
but not by them. These generals have
advanced into Russia, but they could
not possibly have helped it unless they
had been stricken with paralysis. I'm
less the ''ideal generals" the kaiser has
in mind are General Lenine and Gen
eral Trotzky, his words are the most
foolish and infantile boast ever made
by a man presumably mature in mind.
Against any enemy of her size Ger
many has dashed herself in vain. She
was never able to gain a step in
France after the Marine; she won a
momentary success in Italy, not by
arms but by her pacifist and socialist
propaganda, and was halted there.
Her conquests are over Belgium and
Turkey, over Serbia and Montenegro.
Even Rumania, though defeated, was
never conquered, and held her in check
until Germany had debauched Russia
and surrounded Rumania with enemies.
Even after Russia had fallen into con-
fusion Germany never dared advance
until the work of decentralization was
complete; she would not challenge even
Kerensky. The great militaristic ma
ton of modern times, the new Assyria, !
has no military conquest to boast Of;
her victories are the product Of her
propagandists, not Of her soldiers. /
Assyria might be proud of her pupils
ferocity, but would not compliment
her on her generalship.-New York. +

Praying to Satan?

James w. Gerard quotes the Ger
man Admiral Won Tirpitz as saying,
"The kaiser is losing his mind and
spends his time praying and studying
Hebrew" In view of the horrible
crimes for which he is carrying the
responsibility we can readily believe
this to be true. His guilt Of infamy
is great enough to drive wooden man
crazy.-Red Wing Eagle,

The Wolf Bounty Situation.

Only county bounty can now be paid
by Auditor Doane- on wolf pelts
brought to the court house, which is
$3.50 each. The payment of state
bounty has been suspended in conse-
quence Of the fact that no money re-
mains in the fund set aside for such
purpose the appropriation is ex-
hausted. Hence those who kill wolves
will have to await such time as the
legislature makes another appropria-
ton before they can draw the state
bounty Of $3.50 per head.

THE BELLS.

For the little birds to see!
They have taken your bells your bells
That the people loved and knew,
That rang the hours of day
And counted the long night through.
And the little birds flew away,
They could no longer sing
In towers like tongueless men
That were slaves Of a tyrant king.
The little birds flew away!
They will tell the clouds and the wind
Til the uttermost places know
The sin that the Hun has sinned!
Will the cannon not be cursed
That is cast from a singing bell?
Can they melt the name of God
In the furnaces of He'll?
Will the bells forget their song
Will they learn to roar and hate?
They were your bells, o God,

And named them, bell by bell.

And carry It oversees;
And the singing bells shall haunt the Hun
For all eternity!

HOLDING UP aOHN Bull.

TWO WAYS TO SAVE COAL.

~ OAL in Great Britain, France and Italy, and other
" European countries is selling at $50 and more
ton The people over There. cannot afford TO waste it,
They coal by extracting every possible heat
unit. They have TO do that or freeze.
It is different in these United States We have coal
to burn, and we do burn it in a most waseful riotous
fashion. Coal prices to are low compared 10 what
our allies have to pay.
But we are short Of coal We ought to conserve our
supply
Our fuel administration might get coal conservation
easily enough If it permitted coal operators and dealers
to prices up to the European level and many coal
barons would like nothing better
That would further increase our cost Of living
So the fuel administration took the other way
Prices were held down, and the people asked to
save coal-o conserve carefully at Sc ton as they
would II It cost them $40 a ton.
Which is the better way, of coursel But are you
doing your share Of fuel saving to prove to Garfield that
Americans can save coal without having the price boosted
skyhigh?

WILHELM MUST SUFFER-

PART from the iron will Of the United States Gov
a ernment to destroy Prssan militarsm, here is the
transcendant reason why President Wilson could enter
tain no other thought than curt rejection Of Austrias
malevolent peace proposal:
This is a personal war:
II was forced upon a peaceful world by the personal
ambitions Of Wilhelm Of lIohenzollern, ably aided and
abetted by Franz Josef Of Hapsburg.
Franz Josef It is to be hoped is paying the penalty
for fs crimes in the other world He escaped the just
wrath Of the outraged peoples of the world by few
years.
But Kaiser Wilhelm must be made to suffer in this
world as well in the next. lie must pay personal
penaty for a personal crlme-ihe most arocOus in the
worlds history.
The chances are that when his crimes are crushed
the Kaiser will lean on the trusty sword he talks so
much about and defeat the Allies purpose TO make him
suffer Nothing short OF that event must be permitted
10 sway the Allies in their personal fight for the head
Of Wilhelm the Damned.
There must be no sentimentality about IT, Was the
Kaiser sentimental when he rayished Belgium, sank the
Lusitania?
Tearing him limb from limb would not be too
brutal II the punishment made TO n the crime.
The penalty can be left for the future to decide II
Is sufficient now for the Allies to bend every effort TO-
ward the personal punishment Of the maniac of Pots
dam
Already the arful Hun propagandiss are beginning
their campaign to awaken sympathy for their hated
leader Stories Of the illness Of the German Empress
Of the appearance Of the Kasers face of his
hair turning white; rmors Of his abdcation-all may
be set down to Hun propaganda
These early efforts TO gain him cemency must fail.
The Allies must be stern judge in passing sentence.
No neutral should be allowed to give him asylum.
There must be no Eba from which Wilhelm, like Ma
poeon, can return TO vaster power. The st. Helena
to which the Kaiser goes must be for him the last
jumping-of place.

CONTRACT 1oMArO GROWERS ARE JUBILANr.

IN lower Delaware the prevailing contract price for
i tomatoes is fifty cents.
Lured by the high prices which prevailed in the open
market last year. hundreds Of refused TO con-
tract and hundreds Of who had not been growers
set out large acreages
In addition Delaware. New Jersey and Maryland
farmers planted large crops.
As result there has been glut and the openmarket
price has tumbled as low fifteen cents basket.
Therefore the growers who are protected by nifty
cent contracts are ublan while those who are not pro-
sected are correspondingly despondent.
Despite present conditions however it is asserted by
many growers that the farmer who year in and year
put grows for the open market is much better off in
The long run In fact one open-market grower who is
caught the present slump asserts that it is the first
lime tweny-seyen years that he has lost by sticking
the open market but that year before last he broke
sven.
II IS not likely therefore, that men who have had
mch an experience Will be in hurry TO get under the
