The military subcommittee, in its

no uncertain terms those responsible
for the delay in the production Of ma
chimes. Favoritism in the placing Of
contracts as we'll as the waste Of $780,
0OO, 900 through placing these con-

Excessive profits is another feature to
which the committee calls attention.

A we'll deserved promotion from
low private in the rear ranks to ser
geant was that Of the Yank who sug-
gested that, when a horde Of Hun
prisoners are rounded up and dis
armed, they be ordered to unbuckle
their belts, thus making it necessary
for them to hold up their pants and
thereby keeping their hands busy.
This plan, we are told, has now been
generally adopted. It must be- an
amusing spectacle to witness a con-
tingent of these dirty begrimed bar
barians being marched back to the
cages in the rear holding on to their
pants for fear they may slip down
and trip them up.

The thick-headed dailies appear to
have at last tumbled to the fact that
the stuff furnished by one O'Donnell
Bennett, pseudo war correspondent,
whom the kaiser permitted to visit his
prison camp, was camouf1aged. At
any rate we have not. seen any Of
Benefits stuff in print Of late. Is a
man who has hobnobbed with German
military officers, and perhaps with the
kaiser, since the war started proper

Iold chap and mighty liberal with his
cash, especially when it is expended
for camoufaged propaganda.

It can scarcely be charged, as it was
when Hank Ford launched his peace
fasco, that he seeks to enter the Unit
ed States senate for the purpose Of adj
vertising his fivvers, for the eccen-
tricities of those little tin go-carts
have already made them known even
unto the uttermost parts Of the earth.
But Hank, it, seems, is plugged with
the impression that he is cut out for a
statesman or even president of the
United States. Should he succeed in
wriggling his way into the senate he
will, if we mistake not, discover that
he is but lesser microbe in the eyes
of the big bugs in convention assem-
bled.

The demolition Of Tyler by a hurri
cane and the killing and manning of
its inhabitants is saddening to all Of
us, for every American has a place in
his heart for the unfortunate, but this
catastrophe, brought about by the
hand Of God, is a mere bagatelle COM
pared with the great rushing wave Of
hellfire which devastated fair Belgium
and northern France, brought about
by the hand Of man. Neither is it in
the least degree comparable with the
devastation and loss Of life which is
daily. occurring on the battlefelds of
Europe, where the kaiser's hordes are
being driven helter-skelter toward the

That man Foch, the generalissimo
of the allied armies, is strategist to
whom the little Corporal" -Napo-

dof his chapeau. He is keeping the
great military experts of the world
guessing as to his next move on the
war checker board-this great military
genius is an egnima to the allied gen
erals under his command. r But so won
derful is Foch's personality and his

duced affidavits from his old man,
officials Of the company and day la

A St. Cloud man weighing 500
pounds insisted that he be permitted
to enlist in the army upon the grounds
that he could be substituted for one of
those waddling tanks which Byng:i is

a couple of machine guns, he said,: he

Cutting His Own Throat.

Congressman Charles R. Davis Of

some Of his farmer constituents in the
vicinity Of Waconia in Carver county
last spring to hold some of the wheat
they had on hand for possible future

vice but an agent Of the state food
commission caught these farmers with
the goods, seized their stored wheat
and imposed severe penalties on them.

The result Of the primaries in Mis-

James K. Vardaman from the United
