We have not the means of verify
ing the estimate of the brewers that
10000 saloons in this city will go
out of business next month because
of the executive ban on beer, but the
figure is round and fascinating and
suggestive.
Ten thousand bartenders should be
welcome in essential industry, if not
in the army.
Ten thousand hardwood bars
could be turned into gun stocks,
ships furniture and peace confer
ence tables.
Ten thousand sets of mirrors.
placed in the cantonm tents, would
add to the joy of the man putting on
his first suit of olive drab.
Ten thousand brass footrails
would be received by the shell fac
tories with loud cheers.
Ten thousand groups of private
stock bottles could be used as ket-
chup containers.
Ten thousand bungstarters could
be adapted to shipyard use for the
driving home of wooden keys. One
of these interesting weapons might
be sent to the Historical society.
Ten thousand states, after careful
washing, could be used in schools.

which they now nestle?

ably smaller With every victory the
morale of the German armies ana
the masses at home falls to lower
depth, while every fresh advance
makes soldiers and civilians in allied
lands more and more determined to
carry the war along to the point
where Germany will be no longer
strong enough to Withstand their
ever growing armies and will be bat
tered into consciousness of the fact
that the international criminal stands
no more chance against law and Or
der than does the individual who
transgresses the laws of his land.
But the victories of the past week,
and those of the East in particular,
are more than moral victories. They
are the hammer blows that are
knocking the German shackles off
Palestine, Macedonia and Siberia.
They are smashing into fragments
the German plan of controlling
Palestine, Turkey and the Balkans
and the road to India. The millions
of marks the Kaiser spent on Pales-
tine are proof enough of his amoi-
tions there. With Palestine in allied
hands the prospects of a Jewish state
after the war appear Infinitely
brighter than at any time since the
days of the Romans, while Turkey as
a power for evil in Europe is being
rapidly disorganized, and before the
war comes to an end will have been
rendered impotent to repeat any of
the outrages that have made her the
Germany cf her own particular
sphere of nisgovernment. Best of
all, little Serbia. poor, outraged, over
run, mutilated, but always courage
Gus, Serbia is being restored to the
Serbs who are wreaking sweet re-
venge upon the wicked Bulgarians
who joined with Germany only in
the hope of increasing their own
powers and territory in the Balkans.
Turkey is weakening, Bulgaria is
in a panic, Austria is reeling under
the strain. The Allies, sword in
hand, will scarcely be content to set
tie down for a rest during the winter
months, but whether they do or not
they have created situation that
will not be helpful to the German
leaders. in their efforts to lift their
peoples from the slough of despond
into which they have been driven,
during the long cold months when
hunger ami want shall marshal their
grim hosts within the borders of the
slowly crumbling empire.

bombast, he proclaimed the block
ade of the British ports" A month
later Napoleon followed up this
empty threat by the equally famous
futile Milan Decree" closing the
whole of the Continent to British
erchandise.
The immediate result of these de-
crees was the establishment of an
immense depot for British goods at
Helgoland, whence a vast and lucra-
tive smuggling trade was conducted
with the Continent during the rest
of the war.
At the close of the Napoleonic
wars. Helgoi&nd again lapsed into
obscurity. The small military estab-
lishment which had been maintained
was broken up in 1921, and from
that time onwards-until, in fact,
the island was exchanged for some
African territory with Germany in
iS90-its possession was regarded as
of absolutely no Importance to Great
Britain.
So far, indeed, as Great Britain
was concerned it had been regarded
by successive governments as a
wasting investment" owing to sea
erosion. The idea of converting it
into a little Gibraltar" never was
considered seriously.
But even if we had retained the is
land of Helgoland, and it had been
converted at vast expense into n
little Gibraltar" it would have been
useless to us under modern condi-
tions of war.

HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES

household expenses and make report
of them when representatives of the
board call. These reports are 20 be
used as the basis for estimates TO
gauge the increased cost of living
and will figure as factors in fixing
wages.
The statistics gathered in this
manner will prove very interesting
Every head of a household knows
that living expenses have advanced
tremendously since the beginning of
the war, hut few know just how
much. The average housewife may
not keep ledger account of her in
come and expenses, but she knows
there is little margin each week
after the bills are paid. The IN
creases are not confined solely to
rent, fuel and food. They extend
to everything used by the average
family, and in the aggregate amount
to large proportion of the income.
The result of the proposed inve.sti-
cations will be awaited with interest,".

Murder as q Preliminary
LFrom the Omaha Bee1


1t is noteworthy that the Austrian
plea for a consultation and the Ger

a passenger steamer and the con-
sequent murder of women and chill

working along its peculiar course.
Slaughter of innocents is justified.
because merchant vessels persist in
plying the ocean. If these dead
ones had followed the Kaiser's die
tum they would be safe at home
until such time as one of his land
battalions of murder might reach
them. However, these points have
all been discussed before. In the
minds of civilized and we'll disposed
persons only one thought exists, and
that is to render powerless the in
sane directors of the German mill
tary machine, and so make the world
safe place in which to live. The
loss of the Galway Castle, sunk with
out warning, added another $50 to
the victims of the terror, but moth

IVY HlLE the BonnlWell ana the
wv Palmers continue to shout
their political disagreements
from the housetops, Senator Sproul
and other Republican candidates are
making few, if any, political
speeches. The Republicans have
shown excellent judgment in sub
ordinating politics to the success of
the coming Liberty Loan.
Senator Sproul already has led the
way by declining to talk politics in
the very midst of his campaign in
at least a half dozen great gather
ings at which he was the guest of
honor and where he might easily
have been excused for discussing
State issues.
The interests of the nation are
infinitely greater than those of the
individual or the party, and Sena-
tor Sproul and his fellow candidates
on the Republican ticket will not
lose by their patriotic stand, so
strongly in contrast with the hula
baloo raised by the little politicians
who are bent, above all else, upon
control of what is left of the
Democratic party machinery in
Pennsylvania.

PEACE
By Briggs

They cry for peace who never saw
the red,
Warm, flowing blood our soldiers
bled,
Whose flabby limbs have yet to Feel
The tearing thrust of gagan steel
They cry for peace!
They cry for peace whose eyes shall
never scan
The tortured remnants of wounded
man,
Whose sluggish minds can never
know
The covering thing that dealt the
blow
They cry for peace!
They cry for peace, while here our
soldier stand
Upon the sacred soil of France,
beloved land,
And thunder. while they fight and
fall,
"Yanks! Give them He'll" till comes
our call
OF Victory and Peace!

THE GREAT BETRAYAL
[From the Kansas City star.1

[From the Kansas City Star.l
One of the great tragedies of the
war has been the betrayal of Russia
by the leaders in whom the people
trusted. The shameful peace of
Brest-Litovsk was the outward
measure of the betrayal. Without a
struggle the Bolshevist ,dictators
turned over to the German Conquer
ors more than a third of the popula-
ton of the country.
But there were still left apologists
in the United States for the men re-
Sponsible for this great betrayal.
Lenine and Trotsky, they said, felt
the necessity of getting peace at any
price in order to have the chance to
establish the principles Of the revo-
luton in what was left of Russia.
So they sacrificed territory with the
idea of regaining it again after Boil
shevism had been established in the
country under their jurisdiction.
The secret documents that are
given out from day to day by the
committee on public information in
Washington expose the real work
ings of the Lenine-Trotsky regime.
They show the leaders actually on
tIlC IGl HILL pay TOLL ln6y SNOW
the war lords of Berlin secretly fl
nancing the Russian revolution. They
show the Bolshevists pledging them
selves not to circulate disturbing
literature among German troops
They show them cooperating with
Germany in subduing the Ukraine.
They show the prearrangement of
the dramatic coup by which TrotsNy
was to let Germany have it's way in
the peace negotiations at Brest-Lit-
ovsk. They show the Bolshevist ac-
quiescence in a secret agreement to
hand Russia over industrially to the
monopolistic control of Germany.
And all by Russians who had fifty
million rubles put to their credit in
Stockholm by the Imperial German
Bank!
There may still be persons naive
enough to imagine that the men who
were taking German money to make
a German peace were honest but
misguided fanatics. But the world
knows better.
There never has been such
shameful incident in history-the
selling out of a nation to it's enemy
by its trusted leaders.

SEND THEM TO FRONT

-T may be suspected that the battle
planes which are to be sent to
Il Harrisburg and other cities from
Mineola tomorrow are coming as
much for political purposes as they
are to advertise the Liberty Loan.
Indeed, we have it from the person
ally controlled newspaper mouth
piece of the Democratic national
chairman that the machines are all
of the biplane type and will come
here to demonstrate that the air
plane branch of the armed forces of
the nation is not the complete fail
ure some would have the electorate
believe it,"
The public does not need this in
formation. 1t has been told, and it
believes, that the aeroplane pro-
gram has been speeded up finally
after many excusable delays, to q
point where it is actually delivering
overseas a large number of very
efficient planes. But the aviators
still greatly outnumber the machines
and every day American boys are
dying on the fields of France because
they do not have proper air pro-
lection. If the planes that are to
come here tomorrow really are re-
quired to create sentiment for the
purchase of Liberty Bonds, all very
well. but they are needed far more
in France and 1t is to be hoped no
time will be lost in sending them
there.

Its history is soon told. Hegoland

Polite SWedrinq
[From Answers, London1

W
One of the drawbacks of modern
speech is that in using it it is diff
cut not to swear. When 1 told a
man that the other day.. he asked
me what the dickens" 1 meant,
ana became quite ruff1ed when 1 told
MN not to swear at me.
The dickens" of course; has no
reference to Charles Dickens, but is a
name for the devil, perverted from
Nick. The expression is as old as
Shakespeare, for one of the Merry
wives of Windsor remarks, "I can
not tell what the dickens his name
is'.
What the deuce" is- fairly OBJ
Vlous, but it seems a little difficult to
trace the diabolization of the Latin
Deus. The fact is that Celtic N.Y.
thology included a hairy wood
demon named Dus, and in popular
speech the two passed into one. The
scandinavian equivalent of Dus was
Scrat, hence the expression "OId
Scratch" commonly used.
And then, what is dear, dear "
but "Dieu, Dieu?" Yes, my dear lady,
you often swear. Be careful; you
were just going to say, "Oh dear, is
that so?" Weren't you now? And
only the other day I heard you say,
"drat," which few centuries ago
was God rot"
History includes some strange
oaths. The favorite of William the
Conqueror was "by the splendor of
Cod" which has fine, noble ring.
William Rufus came in a feeble
second with his "by this and that"
and Richard / made a poor attempt
in habitually swearing "by Gods
legs" King Johns supposed deal
ings with the Jews lend a grim ap-
propriateness to his oath "by Gods
teeth"
POUNDS and odds bodkins" are
thin DISCUSSES for Gods wounds
and Gods body"
A pious invocation, 20 mihi Beate
MARITIME" had a long life as "Oh, my
eye and Betty Martini"
lie behooves us all in England to
guard our speech, for "profane
swearing and cursing" are still pun
ishable under the Profane Oaths Act
of 1745. BY this enactment for each
offense any laborer, sailor or soldier
is liable to forfeit shilling, every
other person under the rank of gen.
tleman two shillings and every gen.
tleman or person of superior rank
five shillings to the poor of the par

Col. HdrDey and His Critics

We would not wish our readers to
think that we want the rights OF
Harvey or his kind to say what they
want to say curtailed for moment.
We believe the only efficient answer
to Harvey's abuse is achievement on
the part of those whom he criticises
so venomously, and that suppression
in his case, as well as in all others, is
a most inefficient answer to either
abuse or sincere criticism.-New
York Call.
We seldom agree with our Social
list neighbor, but in this instance it
is absolutely right. Achievement is all
we ask and a complete answer to any
criticism which we may apply. AS

REPUBLICANS, AWAKE!

/" HE reelection of Congressman
Aaron S. Kreider, the Repubu-
can candidate, is SO certain that
we in this district are apt to lose
sight of the congressional fight in
Pennsylvania, but it is here that the
Democrats have their only hope. If
they can xH.Gfn a few of the seats
they now hold in Pennsylvania they
will be we'll content with the cam
paign. They know that their State
ticket is hopelessly defeated before
a vote is cast, but they are trying
desperately to save a few of their
congressman.
The Congressional delegation from
this State this year should be solidly
Republican. Republicans have stood
behind the President in every one of
his war measures when many of MS
own party members had deserted
him. They saved him from grave
embarrassment, if not actual &C.
feat, on more than one occasion
when defeat of his program would
have been regarded as a pro-German
victory in the United States Capitol
They have criticised freely when they
thought criticism was needed, and
they will do so again. Constructive
criticism has speeded up the shipping
and the aeroplane programs. Con-
structive criticism has halted a dozen
M tote lrae
sprung up here and there and threat
ened serious delay to our war plans.
Republicans are needed at Washing
ton. 1t would be a kindness to the
President himself to send them
there. Republicans have it in their
power to increase the Pennsylvania
delegation. They will no doubt dc
SO.
And in this respect do not forget
when casting your ballot, that the
. Republican party has four candidates
for Congressman-at-Large in this
State and that their names are, Will
liam ]. Burke, Thomas S. Crago, M
M. Garland and Anderson H. Wal
ters' all OF whom may be trusted to
uphold the interests of the country
and the best traditions of their party
at Washington.
AS for Mr.. Kreider, he needs nc
recommendation. He is not only a
stalwart Republican but a hard
headed businessman perfectly ac-
quainted with the needs of his dis
trict and devoted to the principle OF
g complete victory over Germany.
