SWIFT AND TERRIBLE BLOWS.

: \ , . 80 i j. Z , 4 :.
The sledge hammer blows struck by
the Allies north Of the Marine
seem to have prompted the Allied ar
mics on three other fronts to un-
excelled deeds Of heroism.
The Americans commenced the SER
les of swift and terrible blows by
striking the Germans on line
about 40 miles in length, near the
southern end of the battle line in
France, and at a, place known as the.
st. tMihiel salient.
The young American soldiers went
into the fight with such rush that
they threw the enemy into confusion,
and in two days campaign they cap
tured $4,000 prisoners, upwards OF
100 guns and a tract of country about
half as large as Delaware county.
Il The second of these swift and ter
rible blows was struck on the Balkan
front near the northern boundary of
Greece. The Serbian, Greek, French
and English armies are taking part in
this attack. The battle front is up
wards Of 100 miles in length, and the
Allies are hurting back the Bulgarians
Germans and Austrians like frighten-
ed sheep, capturing and killing them
by the tens of thousands There are
probably more than 100000 Allies en-
gagged in this battle, and they may cut
the lines of communication between
Turkey and the Central Powers, and
then goodbye Turkey. for the third
swift and terrible blow has been
struck by the English in the Holy
Land The German high command
probably weakened their lines in the
Balkans to save themselves from COM
plete overthrow in northern France,
and Foch has taken advantage of the
situation. More good news may be
expected from this battle front, for
Marshal Foch never let's go his enemy
but keeps hitting him.
The third swift and terrible blow
was struck with staggering effect up
on the Turks by the English in the
Hold Land The English were OPP
posed by about 100000 Turks, but
they struck with such force and en-
ergy that in few days they advanced |
their lines go miles, captured $4,000
prisoners, and generally smashed the
Turks. The Allies are crumbling up
their enemies.

VISION ALMOST PROPHETIC.

Mulhall, the famous economist, con-
tended that Wilson's Federal Reserve
Bank law was worth more to the
world than the Panama Canal. The
Federal Reserve Banks saved this
country, with the advent of the war,
from the most stupendous panic in
history; it enabled our ship Of
state to ride the tumultuous waters of
world war finance without squeak or
tremor.
When President Wilson wrested
from the money kings Of Wall Street
the control of this country's finances,
his vision was little less than prophet
iC.

President Wilson voiced the wishes,
not alone of America, but Of all the
Allied nations when he refused to
consider Austria's offer for a confer
ence to negotiate a peace treaty. The
Allies must dictate not negotiate the
peace treaty, or this great war will
have to be fought over again in few
years. The autocratic forces that dis
regard treaties and planned for the
conquest of peaceful nations must be
destroyed, or deprived of their power
to menace mankind, or all the sacri-
fees now being made by the allies will
be of little value to anyone.

praised the loyalty of Iowa citizens,
and denounced in unmeasured terms
scattering manifestations of disloyal-
ty which have appeared in the state.
Active campaigning will in large
part be suspended until after the
coming Liberty Loan campaign il
closed, and the democratic orators
and organization have been placed at
the disposal of the Liberty Loan or
ganization until Iowa has gone over

1t is now fully established that
Lerine and Trotsky are German hire

telligent classes of Russia to Judas
Iscariot.
In one respect they outclass Judas.
Unfortunate Judas only got thirty
pieces of silver for the betrayal of his
Master, but according to well anthem
ticated reports these Russian traitors
had millions, of German gold for the
betrayal of their country.

INSISTS ON POLITICS

Washington, Sept. 27-Heads of the four leading railroad brotherhoeds protested yesterday to Director Gen. eraI McAdoo against his order forbid ding political activity by railway em- ployes or officers. They expressed the belief that this restriction deprived them of natural rights which in some localities tended to safeguard their interests. MT. McAdoo explained that since railway men were essentially Government employees, it was essen tial that they abstain from political action, individually and concertedly, to avoid any danger of any Admins tration using such a great army of workers for partisan advantage. MT. McAdoo promised to write letter setting forth his views more fully, and further conferences will be held. The brotherhood Chiefs were War ren s. Stone of the Engineers, A. B. Garretson of the Conductors, Timothy Shea of the Bremen, and W. c. Lee Of gthe Trainmen.

GAS LOSES ITS TERROR

London, Sept. 27, Correspondence of The Associated Press )-German gas does not hold the terrors 1t did in the earlier days of the war as British masks provide practically complete protection. Army scientists are said to be so well satisfied with the anti gas measures that cases of gassing are now treated as self-infiicted. Unless the victim can establish that his hurt was sustained through no fault of his own he is regarded as suffering from self-inf1icted wounds.
 German gases are said now to be not outwardly unpleasant, and have no immediate effects. with the conse- quence that men are tempted to dis regard the warnings and delay put ting on the masks.
