A contemporary has become I'M
necessarily excited over the fact that
golf games are permitted. He CON
tends that this diversion should be
"cut out" during the war and the par
Elephants drafted. Now, if he will for
a moment consider the adaptabi1ity
Of golf players to war service, he will
find that the majority consists Of
stiffened fossils like Jack Rockefeller,
Andy Carnegie and, occasionally, old
man Wilson, who are far above the
draft age limit. We contend that, as a
diversion, the game Of golf gives
elasticity to the muscles Of such men
and, in fact, is necessary to enable
them to digest the unhooverized feasts
Of which they are accustomed to par
take.

St. Paul Dispatch: One of the most
tragic yet instructive incidents Of the
war was the cold blooded murder of a
St. Paul boy by Prussian officer. The
boy, Corporal Robert Burns Hess, was
escorting the officer, in his charge as
prisoner, to the rear. The captive,
who was wounded, feigned great pain.
The boy, relaxing his guard to assist
his prisoner, was betrayed and stabbed
to death by the Prussian dog. Tragic
Yes, but also instructive. It further
impresses the world that the Germans
still, as from the first day of the
struggle, are not waging war but
murder. !,

The peace proposals Of the Huns

. ( = 80 { tn "
The peace proposals Of the Huns at
this stage Of the war game should be
absolutely ignored, and we feel certain
that they will be. It is but another
attempt Of the Damned One to trick
the allies into a pact which will inure
to his own devilish ends, but it is a
trick that he cannot turn. Pershing
will go marching on until the satanic
Huns beg for quarter, and in this at
titude the United States will be backed
by its allies You can take our word
for it that the war will be settled only
on German soil and upon such terms
as are dictated by the nations which
are fighting for humanity.

was to try, where possible, to protect
us and checkmate those representing

get before the public every fact that
we felt fairly favored the preserva-
ton of our business. even to the ex-
tent of supplying the finances for the
