BEWARE OF PROPAGANDA

The government cautions the pub
lie to beware of German propaganda
in connection with peace conditions.
Already voices are heard desiring that
leniency be shown the central powers.
It should be remembered the utmost
cruelty was the fate Of thousands, and
the German leaders should now stand
rumbly. by and receive the verdict
passed to them. Many people are not
in the mood to look lightly on the
awful cost and cruelty that has re-
suited from the world war. brought
about by the desperados. Before
shedding tears over the situation that
has come 70 the German war lords,
find out who is making the plea. There
has been too much hypocrisy, decep-
ton and injustice to pass over them
lightly.

M. H. Mould of the First National
Bank offers suggestion, which is a
splendid one. In memory of the
soldiers who have fought for the
democracy of the world, it would be
a good idea to plant trees along high
ways and streets-the memorials to
be especially for those who have
given up their lives. This movement
has already begun in some cities and
towns and by the coming of next
spring such a plan should be well
formulated. The planting of me-
mororial trees may be under the
direction of cities, towns, clubs or
other organizations. Trees are living
monuments and grace the landscape;
they are most suitable for such
purpose.

DUCK HUNTERS IN
DUMPS:.N0 BIRDS

Portage sportsmen are putting in
time exchanging hard luck stories
this fall, says the Democrat. The
ducks, geese and even lowly mudhens
that were wont to flock to the rivers,
lakes and marshes of this region with
the passing of summer are conspicu-
Gus by their absence.
Wise old hunters roam the rice
fields and paddles the bayous hither
and yon, generally returning at dark
gameless, or with bird or two at
the most. They spend the evenings
specializing on the vagaries of water
fowl. or course it Is very dry sea-
son-no water in the marshes and
pothoies. That may be one cause.
And then there were forest fires-and
possibiy-or perhaps - or - anyhow,
the birds aren't hereabouts.
The report Wednesday morning
that a flock of geese had been heard
honking along the Wisconsin river
somewhat revived the dropping spir-
,, its OF the shotgun experts.
Yet up from Lake Koshkonong
! comes the story that shooting hasn't
been so good in years as it is-or has
been-at that old-time popular resort

TRANSATLANTIC AIR SERVICE

Handley Page, builder of monster
airplanes, expects to see a regular
air service installed between America
and England. He figures that the
trip will take day and a half 1t is
not known just what points he has
picked for departure and landing, but
thirty-six hours are to cover the en-
tire time in transit, not merely that
between Newfoundland and Ireland.
He also expects to see an airplane
mail service established all over Eu-
rope. Well, why not? Who is sur
prised? Who is able to get surprised
any more about anything? Compared
to the progress of air navigation in
the last few years, the developments
forecast by Mr.. Page seem trifiing,
while the possibilities 90 -
-~u- vt0e are being proved day by
day here in America. What the world
is really looking for is a transatlantic
air service, and no one has ventured
to set the date on which that desire
will become fact. Neither does any
one doubt that the day is coming

CUT THE COST

There is a tendency in some ~qsar-
tiers to continue war activities This
should not be. The conflict has cost
a vast sum of money and now that the
war is practically over the soldiers
should turn to other duties as fast as
possible. The battles were well
fought and America has demonstrated
there is plenty of vim in the soldiers
of this republic. The next great step
is to abandon war activities and stop
the cost. War is destructive and the
world should now turn to construct
i've pursuits.
