Now let me see. We left on In the

on his policeman whistle and frighten'

ped the chicken on the ground. Well
OF course. that sly old robber fox didn't
wait to see wether the chicken was hurt
or not, Oh. my. no. He just ran away
10 his den as fast as he could, And then
that unfortunate chicken got up and
looked around. and when he saw the
two little rabbits in the Luckymobils
he began TO crow:

CLOSED FIR A FEW Days.

Closed for a few days" That is the
headline from most cities in Iowa this
morning. Schools shut down, gather
;ngs forbidden. in the sensible attempt
to prevent so far as possible the spread
of the new and DANGEROUS diseGse that
has invaded our coNntry and COM
munities.
Il is radical action. But, radical
action is indicated by tbs seriousness
Of the situation. We must meet and
dismiss this condition as quickly as
possible. We need ourselves and our
neighbors in active service. Conditions
like those created by the influenza
slow I'd the Great Purpose. And our
Great Purpose now is to end the war
as soon as possible by decisive victory.
So the person who fails or refuses to
70 care thoroughly for the health OF
himself and his family is getting in the
way Of the war. Not only good sense
but patriotism urge conformity with the
rules laid down by health boards and
personal caution on the part of in
dividuals. A man down is man lost
to service here at home just as in
baRle.
It is serious and should be taken
seriously but there is no occasion for
panic. There is never occasion fol
panic. Panic loses battles and fails in
business. Fright kills more people
than disease as every doctor knows
What we should do is to take this
invasion as a serious thing to be met
and conquered as soon as possible and
the country brought back to its normal
state of activity. Rumor will fill the
air full. It will multiply numbers and
magnify fear il given heed: but rumor
is invariably "a liar and its middle
name is falsehood.
Now this influenza isn't going to fill
the churchyards and cemeteries tc
overlooking. 1t isn't going to kill many
people who take good care OF their

PASS UNDER THE YOKE!

The brute remains preeminent IN
German war policy. When that Jap
anese ship was torpedoed and women
and children struggled and screamed
before the 2rqel waters covered them
forever, deliberate murder of the most
heinous character was again COM
n,itted as when the Lusitania's burden
OF women and children went TO death
at the hands of an assassin nation
There can be no explanation made OF
either murder except the plain and
da-rnable fact that the women and
children were as deliberately slaugh-
tered as they were in France and
Belgium. one sorrowfm comfort re-
mains TO the friends and relatives OF
the women and children sunk by Ger
man savagery and cowardice-they
went 10 death the children unmangied
and womanhood undefiled by brutal
lust.
What conditions can we imagine
may be made with a foe like that eN-
cept unconditional surrender? Can We
find il in our hearts TO offer other
terms to the super brutes whose only
claim to consideration is that they can
die fighting ike rats in a trap and
Stay as they die
4 nation that appeals for an hon
ora bic peace with one hand appraised

women and children, that cries KAN
Grad while it sets the torch TO the
tha,ches OF the peasant and the domes
Of cathedrals while it prates Of honor!
What answer can the people Of the
United States make but the stern de-
mand that the government which
ordered these things-to be done must
pass under the yoke OF complete SUD
lection 10 the will Of the powers
which are 20 administer civilization

THE AMERICAN VICTORY.
German Authorities Won't Let People

The German Official communique Of

that the operation was conducted by
the American troops. ln his commu-
nique telling Of the driving of the Ger
mans from sCantigny Ge. Pershing
says "recent marked endeavors of the
Germans to discount the fighting
qualities Of our forces indicate that
the enemy feared the moral effect OF
such admission in Germany"
In one Of the counter attacks laun-
ched against the Americans in Can
tigny, the Germans tried to use tanks
American artillery opened a heavy
fire driving both the foot soldiers and
tie tanks back in disorder.

GERMANS BOMB HOSPITAL.

plCdi-NOtnlng nOEe AwIul udS
Occurred in Annals of Hospital Ser
vice Since War Began.
With the British Army in France,
May 31.-Early Thursday morning
German airmen bombed another hos
pital-this time Canadian institution
and exacted a considerable toll of
casualties. Among those killed by
the explosion of flames was an Amer
lean medical officer who was admin
istering an anaesthetic to a British
officer in the operating room when
that part Of the hospital was demol-
ished. The raid occurred at 1890
o'clock in the morning.
The hospital attacked was a large
one. 1t had been in existence since
the early days of the war and was
marked by huge Red Cross signs The
German airmen, working partly by the
light of the moon, dropped four bombs
near the hospital and then apparently
to see where they were hitting, light
ed brilliant flare which was let fall
to illuminate the surroundings.
AS the place was lighted up by this
flare, they released another bomb or
two which dropped squarely on a
large wing of the hospital In this
wing there were three floors, on the
bottom one of which was the operat-
ing room. On the story above were
the office and patients rooms and
above them were members of the hos
pital personnel. Part Of the wing was
demolished by the terrific explosion
and many unfortunate persons were
killed and wounded when the building
collapsed and buried them.
Strange to say those who were on
the top floor Rad better luck than
those below them and several escaped
because they fell on top Of the debris.
The surgeons were just about to op-
crate on an aviation officer and the
American medical officer was stand
ing by with the anaesthetic when the
crash came. All those in the room
were buried under an avalanche of
brick and wood work. The demolish-
ed wing caught fire and burned fierce
ly with many victims still pinned in
the wreckage.
Nothing more awful has occurred in
the annals Of the hospital service
since the war began. Every available
person in the neighborhood was called
out to assist in the rescue work and
two fire brigades were called in. With
the assistance Of ladders and other
fire apparatus the hospital proper was
rapidly emDtied of patients and per-
sonnel. It was desperate situation.
A roaring furnace represented what
was left Of the big wing.
Scores Of persons worked frenzied-
" at the flaming mass of twisted
tlmoers in their attempts to reach
those entombed and many unconscious
forms were carried oat by heroic
men who riskeG their lives to reach
them. Excellent work on the part of
the firemen finally resulted in the
fire being extinguished but there were
still many victims, including more
than one Sister of Charity, buried in
the ruins.
