WAR MAKES HUNS
LOSE C0RPULENCY
Also Chastity Has Disappeared
to Amazing Degree in
Germany.

AMSTERDAM. Sept. 3.-(Corres-
pondence.) War diet in Germany
has accomplished a greater reduc-
ton of the corpulency of the aver
( age German than all the Marienbad
cures. Russian baths and drastic
/ courses of exercise.
Obesity, writes Prof Albu in the
Berlin Lokal Anzeiger. has disap-
peared TO an amazing degree, espe-
cially in the urban centers. The dis
appearance of excessive flesh has
been more thorough than any medi-
I cal treatment could have effected,
says the professor.
The war diet, he asserts, has been
an education and a cure for many
who had given up all hope. It has
upset medical prognostications that
were once regarded as incontrovert-
/ ible.

The writer then repeats that now

sizes the fact that this attenuation
is not due to under nourishment
alone. A very great deal is due, he
says, 10 unaccustomed bodily exer-

WHY THE DELAY?

There are many things hanging fire
in the United States senate, and no
doubt many of the senators feel that
these should be duly considered, but
for one reason or. another there are
delays. One of the questions is wom-
an suffrage, and millions of women the
land over are anXiously watching and
waiting for the final vote to be taken.
This country is fundamentally demo
cratic and should be for fundamental
measures. Hanging fire
sometimes results in a serious situa-
ton and frequently there is no gain
in undue delay. If the senators desire
to win the good graces of the women
of the land they should ring in the
final vote on this important question,
even though war and other measures
are pending.

AMERICA MUST WIN

Wake up, Americans! You must
win this war. You can annihilate ev-
cry gun that is aimed at an American
heart. You can bring down to dust
and death the imperial slayer and his
hordes. But you cannot do it by brag-
ging or by sIoth or by depending
upon France and England to win the
war for you. You are unorganized for
war, Americans, and your resources
and money and skill will not be effect
i've until you get down to business.
The United States of America, aroused
and armed for battle, is one thing;
the United States, Indifferent, fat and
unorganized, is another. Stand by
your president. Strike down pacifists
and traitors. Support every move Of
your government. Watch all your
public officials. Keep them on their
mettle. Save your criticism for wrong
doors. Speak out against wrong. Put
your money in liberty bonds, which
are dollars drawing interest. Study
the enemy and his works. Don't try
to profiteer from the government.
Quietly watch all aliens. Cut out lux
uries. Expand your views. Think in
continents. Don't underestimate the
enemy. Remember that the United
States will never see a greater danger.

WORKERS PARADISE

German propaganda has always
dwelt upon the lovely paternal policy
of the kaiser's government, and it's
watchful care for the happiness and
welfare Of it's people. We have heard
much about their social insurance like
old-age pensions.
Recent figures show that average
wages in Germany before the war
among the Wood-workers, a typical
industry, were $500 a week. Their
old-age pensions ran from $18.58 to
$4S45 per year. The federal farm
loan banks were useful only to the
reasonably comfortable middle class
farmers.
Working hours in Germany average
much longer than ours. Mighty few
of our working people would change
conditions here for those in Kaiser
dom. Yet so skillful and far-reaching
has German publicity stuff been, that
most people thought the kaiser had
gone far beyond our country in his
careful insurance against poverty. 1t
all goes to prove the value of adver-
Using, but as in other fields of bust
ness, the advertiser has to back up his
goods.-Janesville Gazette. =.

PRINzIP'S DEATH

The death of Prinzip, assassin Of
the Austrian archduke, not only re-
wives tragic memories, but invites the
repetition of familiar misstatements.
The Teutonic version of this affair
gained such currency in this country
that many Americans still suppose
that Prinzip was a Serbian, and that
Serbia was proven to have some share
in the responsibility for his crime.
The fact is that Prinzip was a Bosnian,
and subject Of Austria, and that his
crime was committed on Austrian
soil. He and his accomplices were in
the hands of the Austrian authorities
from the time that the crime was
committed, and the charge that Serbia
had anything to do with their act is,
up to this time, an improved and I'M
supported assertion of Austria. How
half-hearted the charge was, on Aus
tria's part, is shown by Prince Lich-
nowsky's declaration that Austria
would have settled the Serbian diff
Guilty if Germany had given the word.
Prinzip forfeited all possible claim
on the worlds sympathy by killing
the archduke's wife with him. Why
this double crime was punished only
by a sensence Of twenty years impris-
Onment, which has now been cut short
by his death from a natural cause, is
one Of the astonishing elements of the
mystery which still surrounds the
tragedy of Serajeve-a mystery whose
key may some day be found in the ar
chives of Berlin-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

way which they never dreamed of UNI
til their entry into the service; how
the millionaire was fighting side by
side with the pauper, and how lux
uries that seemed indispensable eight
cen months ago were now forgotten,
and after the war, would be forgotten
entirely, unless the women Of the
country insisted on returning to the
state of things that existed formerly
and again wanted to lead luXuri-
Gus and apparently useless existence;
that now the soldiers are all equal,
and that is a great step toward the
democracy that means success and
happiness for future generations. He
bitterly condemned the pro-German
attitude of many American citizens,
and yet felt sorry for a good many of
them, as the things they did and said
were done through ignorance rather
than any intent to misrepresent things
or to aid our enemies. He wildly told
the story of the defense of Ypres by
the handful of Canadians who held
at bay $4,000 Germans for six days
and seven nights, and never gave an
inch, and told the pathetic story of
the young Canadian captain who vail
antly fell in that battle, and how his
mother said her only regret was that
her other son was too young to take
his place.

a beautiful tribute to the millions Of
young men who have sacrificed every
thing to enter military service at their
country's call, and to the mothers and
fathers who have unhesitatingly made
the supreme sacrifice by giving up
their sons to fight in the great battle

CALLS GERMAN SOCIALISM
SHAM

The Arbeiter Zeitung, Vienna, lead
some Kerenskys, Trotzkys and Le-
ing Socialist paper of Austria, has a
very poor opinion Of the power OF So
cialism in Germany. In other coun-
tries, it says, the parliamentary major
ity decides the policy of the govern
ment, and if the Socialists form part
of that majority then can effectively
influence policy, and so there can be
no idea of the working classes having
to conduct political mass strike
against the government. 1t contin-
ues:
"In Germany it is different. Here
the voting of the imperial budget and
of the war credits is not much more
than a theoretical confession of faith
in the fatherland; to belong to the
reichstag majority is not a guarantee
of real political power. A few gen
erals, a few influential bank directors
and big manufacturers can, under CIV
en- circumstances, influence policy
more effectually than the whole re1chS-
tag majority. Thus, indeed, it can
happen that the governments policy
seems very little Influenced by Social
ism, though this latter supports the
government; that, consequently, con-
siderable part of the working classes
decides upon a political strike against
the government which for three and
a half years has enjoyed the support
of the majority Of working class depu-
ties in the reichstag. And only thus
can we explain the strange spectacle,
inexplicable to any other country, that
a government in whose formation So
cial democracy has had a share, and
which at every division is supported
by the Socialists, knows no other
means of meeting strike save by for
bidding meetings, introducing a state
of siege and militarizing. The bloc
policy is dangerous everywhere, but
these dangers are incomparably great
er in the classic land of government
by authority Notwithstanding
than in the democratic countries. The
unedifying picture which German So
cial democracy presents is at the bot
tom the result Of German sham de-
mocracy, of the poverty and backward
ness Of German political life. New
