PROTECTING THE RIVERS.

The effort to stop the pollution of rivers is by no means a new one, but the endeavor to have congress enact 8 law which would prevent manufac- turing plants from turning acids and poisons into the streams is and It would appear that it was entitled to some consideration. The Merchants association of New York is certainly taking up a matter which will secure both support and opposition.
 Without regard to the injury which is done through the pouring of acids in the shape of waste into rivers in dustrial establishments have followed the practice for long time, except where local legislation has been se- cured to prevent it. The result has been that it has resulted in serious decrease in the number of fish and it has had no little effect upon oyster beds. But in addition thereto it is claimed that the effect of the acids upon the hulls of steel ships in har- bors such as New York is getting to be a serious matter.
 When, however, we are doing our utmost to eliminate waste it would seem to be time to ascertain If it is possible to turn what is now being thrown away to some profitable use At least if it is unreclaimable wl ought not to permit waste to destroy food in the shape of fish or property when it can be avoided Investigation nas determined in many instances thai such wastes can not only be kept out of streams but by being used for othel purposes be made to yield a prof which will at least overcome the cos of handling it. Such being the cast it is time that more thorough sur vey was made of all such cases for the protection and profit that can be re. ahzed.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

It is about time to hear Of some new disease to be attributed to the decreased use of wheat flour and the substitution of coarser grains. So far, however, the testimony til seems to be the other way. Many people say their health has been improved by the change in diet-Manchester Herald.
 The administration Is running the war. It isn't pleasant for the men in power to recall that the messy con dition that our war preparing has been in has been due to the admin istration's blindness before our en- trance into the war and Its ob- stinacy since We entered it. Gen. Wood is a reminder of these facts. If he were allowed to go to the front. he undoubtedly would do things that would call to mind these points and would set the administration men in a still more unfavorabIe light Therefore Cen. Wood is sent to Cali fornia and the nation is deprived of the best use of his fine abilities when it needs them most. That's Secretary Bakers idea Of the way to conduct the war department.-Water- bury Republican.

As the British army was selected by Hindenburg to bear the weight of the March offensive so the second blow two months later was. aimed at the French. Meantime, however, several divisions of British troops had been put into the Allies line northwest or Rheims and these bore their share i'll the great assault of May 27th. As the March thrust was directly west ward toward Amiens and the sea, 50 the May attempt was aimed due soutp toward the Marne. Paris lines about as far south of the tip of the Montdi- dier salient as it lies west of the new German position on the river Marne.
 It was the same story as before yet with a difference. The Germans again succeeded in secretly massing encrm- ous forces, and struck with irresistible force, sweeping all before them. Eight and ten to one was odds too great to meet, and there was nothing for the Allies to do but to take their toll from the oncoming German hordes and re- treat and again retreat, until the re- serves could be brought up. Nowhere was there panic nowhere were the lines broken. On an ver-narrowing front the Germans advanced in five days thirty miles to the Marne. The city of Soissons, at the northwest heel of the southward driven wedge, had to be abandoned by the French and was occupied by the enemy. The forts above Rheims at the northeast heel of the wedge were taken but the poor ruined city is still in the hands of its defenders.
 Having once reached the Marne, the Germans turned their direction west
 ward. toward Paris, but now Foch's reserves were coming into action and after the first day of the westward movement, progress was virtually stop ped The hostile attacks are distinct ly weaker, the Allies defense is con
 stantly growing more stubborn.
Norwich bulletin., 1918-06-05

The difference between the March and the May situation has been in the Paris and London press. lSot note of disconxagement or apprehension has been struck, but quiet confidence has been everywhere cit that the Ger mans are spending their strength rapidly, that the Allies line will hold and that Foch has the situation well in hand. Impatient people are eager to have him throw in his reserves at once and by one grand blow win a decisive victory. The same people, recalling Farragut at Mobile and Dewey at Manila. would have the Anglo American fleet rush the mine
 fields at Heligoland and force fight with the German fleet. The answer is the same af1oat and ashore. Damn the torpedoes'' was the correct policy at Manila and Mobile, where the ad- mirals had only their own fleets at stake Foch has at stake not merely his own army but the whole cause of civilization. One error now might easily ruin it all It is surely wiser to wait. The American army in France is growing faster than the German boys are reaching military age.

As an earnest demonstration of what may be expected of the Americans. just below the tip of the Mentdidier salient almost simultaneously with the begin ming of the German drive .toward the Marne, our forces, assisted by French tanks, seriously dented the German line, seized the fortified village of Cantignv and came back with 24o pri- soners.

WITH THE EDITORS
CANADA'S REPLY

4 Canada's response to the demand for men on
the western front is an order by which all unmar-
ried men and childess widowers between twenty
and twenty-three years of age, inclusive, will be
sent into the army after only physical examina-'
tion No exemptions on account of occupation or
dependents will be granted. The premier has stat
ed that by the end Of April 47,000 men will have
been sent abroad under the military service act.
and others are in camp; but this new measure the
government believes required to fill the contem-
plated quota of 100000 rapidly enough to keep
the divisions in France at full strength. If the
exigencies Of the war and need for reinforcements
demand it, men of other ages will be called out
under the same emergency orders to disregard ex-
emption peals. It is stern step to take at the
very time the farming season opens, and in the
face of the made of exemptions to placate local
sentiment hostile to conscription but it is evidence
of Canada's earnestness.-N York Post.

DANISH THE HUMAN PARASITES

This is not time for able-boded human para
sites on the body polite. The man who can work
and has chance to work and yet does not offer
his services in some productive capacity should
be compelled by law or by public sentiment to de-
liver according to his ability.
He who eats food or consumes vital commodi-
ties or in any way constitutes drain on the ener-
gies of the America npeople without making what
return he can is morally and actually Stacker an
enemy of his own country and a comfort to the
enemies of his country.
To treat such men as Migrants under the law in
the customary way would not lessen the parast-
ical effect they have on the community or the
country. Public sentiment, where the law falls
short, should be made so hot for them that they
would be glad for their own peace of mind and
safety of limb to get actively into the game of
making the nation fit in every way for its difficult
task. -..'.
These words apply articularly to able-beded
men over the draft age and to boys not old enough
to be conscrpted for military service but too old to
be shielded by the laws relating to child labor. It
is recognized that many young men of draft age
have difficulty finding the kind of employment for
which their training fits them because employers
too often reject them for the reason usually unex-
pressed, that the governments claim makes their
tenure of position uncertain. No such refuge can
be put forth by those over the draft age.
There is now on foot in many Minnesota COM
munities healthy movement to impress habitual
idlers into some useful productive service of a
civilian character. Broadly, the slogan Isl enlist
or work." Beneficent effects already have been
obtained, but there is room for much greater re-
suits. Where ordinary moral suasion does not
avail, more vigorous pressure is justified by the
great purpose held in view.
The Minnesota movement reflects crystalliz-
ing sentiment in Washington for law designed to
effect more comprehensive mobilization of man
energy for the civilian end of the war game Com
pulsion for the end aimed at should not be neces-
sary, but the time and it's great perils demand
speedy elimination Of the chronic human parasite.
There is needed work for all physically fit men to
do. The saloon, pool room and street corner loafer
is human anachronism above all previous times.

see an American soldier in the making
and learn for themselves the vast diff
ference which exists between the mil
itary establishment of the. American
republic and the militarism with which
many of them were familiar in the
monarchies from which they have
sprung, would be wonderful inspira-
ton, and most important factor in

The Tribune notes with pleasure that Francis
B. Streeter Of Linton, won his commission at the
officers training school which has just closed at
Camp Dodge. Mr.. Streeter, son of pioneer En-
mons county publisher and himself reared at the
case and the editorial desk, was one of the men
most active in this district in stimulating enroll
ments for the first and second officers training
schools at Fort Smelling. Then he procured en-
trance for himself and he went almost the entire
course before he was advised that he would be un-
able to qualify for commission. Nothing daunted,
Streeter returned to his home at Linton, wound
up his affairs there put his paper in charge of an
assistant, and enlisted for service in the ranks.
Then his chance came with the opening of an Off
GERS school principally for enlisted men, at Camp
Dodge Streeter again buckled into a stiff three
months course of training; he crammed and he
studied until late at night, and he has finally won
out. The important thing about Streeter is that
his chief desire was that he might serve his coun-
try. He was ready to go as private if he could
not get in with shoulder-straps, and he is the
kind of material that good officers are made FROM
Emmons county has right to be proud of it's son.

IT'S A HIT, ALL RIGHT

Don't overlook the fact that China is also fight
ing the Hun. She isn't putting into it much, if
any, man-power or gun-power but she's striking
some heavy blows along the line of high finance.
Under her treaties, she was bound to pay Germany
and Austria about 1000 annually, until 1881,
as indemnity for the Boxer uprising. Declaring
war on the central powers she cancelled all trea-
ties and quit sending the monthly installments of
the indemnity.
Go to it, China! If you can't hit the Hun on the
head, hit him in the pocketbook!
