ized as a German ruse to obtain the
best possible terms before an Allied
victory could impose the most Sc
we're punishment upon her.
The proposal as viewed by off,
cials, it was reiterated, does not con-
tain a single basis upon which the
Entente powers and the United States
would be willing to meet the authors
of the plea. In most circles it was
held that the putting forth of the
proposal at this time was but an ad-
mission of the growing weakness of
the Central Powers.
If reply is made it was con-
sidered likely that the Allies would
make a joint answer after an ex-
change of views.

Sunday, the 18th, Last
Day For the Straw Hat

Few straw hats were seen on the
streets to-day. In addition to the
fear of having them smashed the
threatening aspects of Jupiter Plu-
Wits caused the lovers of the light
head cover, to hide them for the
day. This year the majority of men,
instead of consigning their straw
hats to the. scrap heap have put
them away for use next summer.

THE INFLUENZA.

There has been some controversy concerning
the origin and nature of the Spanish influenza
and the propriety of calling it by that name.
But there are no two opinions as to the essential
fact that it is an undesirable immigrant for any
land it succeeds in entering. Ocean steamers
coming to Atlantic ports bring in crews affected
with it, and it has already secured a foothold
on shores. New York City, Philadelphia,
New Orleans, Newport News, Boston and Mobile
report hundreds of cases, and unless precau-
lions are taken the visitation may include all of
the interior.
The epidemic is much like that of 1912. We
called it the grippe, and there was for time
a disposition to treat it a joke But it prov
ed serious malady for hosts of people, and
many of the old or less highly vitalized were
carried off never fully recovered from its
effects. The early symptoms of the Spanish in
fluenza chill, high fever headache, bodily
aches and general prostration Immediate
medical attendance is advised rest in bed, fresh
air, abundant food. The affection usually
yields to treatment, but bronchial pneumonia
is among the complications which threaten con-
valescent patients Presumably the epidemic
will be less severe here than in the underfed
European lands; but it is we'll to take all known
precautions against its spread.

ARCHBISHOP JOHN IRELAND.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Ireland
has sent many sons to American who
have made great contributions to
American civilization. One of the most
distinguished and> influential was
John ireland. a lad who was destined
TO win not only international renown
as a churchman but universal recogi-
milton as broao-gauged American,
with sanity, clearness of vision. cour-
age and constructive genius. He was
intensely patriotic and as a young
priest served as a chaplain in the CIV
II war. sharing the rot of the men OF
the ranks. He was a great lover or
men. This does not mean that he m
duiged in distractions about man
kind. He mingled with folks. entering
sympatheticalIy into their lives and
feelings. His understanding was not
con fined to the lowly. He also compre-
hended the rich and the powerful and
among some of his warmest friends
we're men of another creed, with
whom he co-operated in great under
itakings. John Ireland was profound
student of public questions and he
did mot hesitate TO speak upon those
about which controversies ragged. He
felt that he had rights and du-
ties az man and citizen and he
freely exercised them. Some of his
pubIic addresses on national questions
were notable and most of them have,
fortunately, been preserved in book
form.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Webster City Freeman-Journal:
| General Pershing is having more
success in getting a lot of the Ger
mans out of the trenches than Henry
Ford did. Moreover, a large majority
of the Germans Pershing gets out
will stay out, owing to circumstances
over which they have no control.
| Des Moines Register: Germany is
now battling in self-defense, but still
doesn't know just how Belgium felt.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The
Huns have placed some new troops
before the Americans in the Lorraine
sectors What, do you suppose. has
become of the old ones?
Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: The
crown prince is still ON his vacation.
Maybe he won't have any job at all
when he gets back.
| Webster City Freeman-Journal: If
we want to do business with Ger
sary that such business be transacted
in any certain language, there will
be no serious objections to the Ger
mans learning the English, language.
Perry Chief: When final settle
ment is made Germany should be
compelled to pay Belgium about so
per cent. more because of the insult
contained in the peace proposal re-
Gently addressed to that country.
And Americans are ready to help
Belgium enforce the claim.
Mason City Globe Gazette: Bids
for peace according to Specifications
are in order, but we understand that
the specifications do not call for a
German peace.
Nevada Representative German
newspapers complain that the re-
verses on the west front are due to
the plumbers of German spies. Then,

built up and employed so enormous
a spy system as has Germany during
the last half century.
Waterloo Tim es-Tribune: Austrian
prisoners in the ST. Mihiel affair
! complain that the Germans ran and
left them. Doubtless the German
press report makes note of the Aus
TRAN deficiency in running.
Alton Democrat: We all know that
the fourth Liberty loan is just at

our boys across are ready for the
Huns. Not that all Of us have the
money, perhaps, but we shall get it
some way and do our part in hasten

They look rather to see the traffic shorn OF Its
evil and repulsive features and reduced to its
proper place as incidental to the provisioning
of temperate people who use light wines and
beers in moderation, as in France and Italy,
and never to excess. Something like this, as
many thoughtful people view it, will be the
eventual outcome of the agitation sweeping the
land. Wise laws and public sentiment will con-
spire to make us temperate nation, but the at
tempts of extremists to dragon the rest OF the
people into coerced abstinence will not for any
long time succeed. Alcohol has its value and
its proper uses; and after the fury of the pas
sion to Danish it from the world has spent its
force, as it will, the nation Will be well content
tic restrict its abuse without interdicting its
use. Generally speaking, no extremes to which
a people are hurried in times of emotional stress
like these are permanent Only that which is
useful good and reasonable remains.

IN DARKEST RUSSIA.

1t has been easy to ina CINE the anarchic con-
ditions in Russia masked in reports by the cen
tsership of the bolshevik and German authorl-
ties. In an account of conditions written by
Arno Bosch Fleurot, special newspaper cor
respondent arriving at Stockholm with. the
American refugees from Russia, there is pub
lished one Of the first uncensored reports OF
what has been and is the condition of things IN
European Russia The bolsheviki powerless
! to rally control and seeking private vengeance;
the soviets running affairs to suit themselves,
each in its own district; the soviet army unable
to count ON troops who fight or desert at will;
the peasants in open revolt in widely scattered
areas and with no real leadership; law and or
der gone and safety assured to eone-thls IS
the picture given by this correspondent fresh
from the scene One point made by Mr. Dosch-
F'leurot is of vital interest. He says that the
echo-Slovaks might have taken Moscow a
month ago but they are proceeding slowly, or
ganizing and stabilizing conditions behind them
as they move into European Russia He says
also that the allied troops at Archangel and
Kola would find little strength of opposition If
they moved south on Petrograd.
Now it is plain to see why Germany is dis
clssing a Russian expedition at time when
she can i'll afford to devote attention. much less
men, supplies and transport. to campaign on
another front than the west. She Is fully aware
of Russia's anarchy. She knows that out OF it
a state must come in which some power will
predominate She knows that the Russian
masses want none of her overlordship. If Ger
many is to hold Russia and hereafter, she
must do it with an army It is for the allies to
note the significance of this and to take mes
ures against it. Probably this is matter held
well in mind by allied statesmen. And we have
reason to believe that active measures are al
ready in progress beyond those which appear
as yet in the meager reports from European
Russia.

DANGER OF GENERALIZATION.

Cedar Rapids Republican,: Senator
James Reed, OF Missouri, speaking
before the bar associations of his
own state, the other day, said:
Every step made toward CEN
tralization of power means n GER
tain loss OF liberty. do not
hesitate to say that in the pres
ent crisis we have disregarded
absolutely the constitution of the
United States. We have made
longer strides toward centrali-
zation in two months than have
many nations that have been de-
stfoyed in years. But I believe
that the genius Of the American
people will meet the situation
and bring our government in
good time back to her old ideals;
but this will require the patriot
ism and best efforts of the bar
and bench of America.
We do not know whether we would
state it so strongly as that, but the
tendencies and the dangers to which
the senator calls attention are wor-
thy OF consideration. We have been
centralizing beyond all past compre-
hension, and the processes are still
going on We have had the reason
as well as the excuse of the war for
these processes, but it is to be feared
that in many instances the war has
been the excuse, not the reason for
it. Men in power are apt to like to
exercise power. There is an intOxi-
cation and a delirium about it.
Humanity is a queer lot. At one
time we applaud what the next time
we have to deplore. We have been
thinking recently that when the gov
eminent took over this or that or
assumed this power or that that we
ourselves were being indicated and
someone else being punished. But all
the time we have been helping to
place limitations on our own liberties
as well as on the liberties OF the
other men. BY turning one thing
after another over to some man or
men elected to office we have not
necessarily made these things better,
for all wisdom is not conferred on
men the moment they happen to be
elected To some office or other.

WHAT WILL COME OUT OF ITO

Some excellent people assert, in a belief
which is fathered by hope, that alcohol in every
form for human consumption is now as factor
In racial development to pass from the world
Others consider it not improbable that the So
looms will go, that brewers with chains of retail
places will go, and that traffic in beverages con-
tanning per cent of alcohol will no longer re-
main in the constituencies hands of dealers de-
tiant of moral laws and of human laws in their
desire to get every possible penny, however
dirty, out of the business. But they do not find
it easy to believe that the habits of a people
can be suddenly and entirely transformed by
laws. Though attempted from time to time
this has never been done. Human nature is not
to be changed so radically and swiftly as that

Others had large part. Of course, in
