The New Castle Tinies regrets the fact that a new constitution will u>t lie written because they need a now school house and havn’t the money with which to build. Evidently there are other cities which have troubles similar to those at home. However, it is probable that much objection would be offered to a constitutional clause which would permit an increased levy. Though the heavy rains of rhe past two weeks have beeSi more than discouraging to the farmers of this section the indications are that a good crop can be harvested if the weather is a little better than average. Reports from over the country are that crops are in excellent condition in other parts of the middle west, this section apparently having had tne heavy down pour of rain, while in many sections it has been just about , "made to order," We have learned with deepest sorrow of the death of Judge John F. L'xFollette, distinguished jurist of Portland. He was well known here and because of his squareness, his pleasant manner and his great ability hewas admired and respected. He served as judge of the Jay circuit court, was the chairman of the eighth district republican central committee, was prominent in banking circles in Jay and Adams county, was a splendid lawyer, a good business man and a fair fighter in the political game. He fought hard but he fought fair and he was held in high esteem by those opposed to him as well as by those with whom he affiliated. The cabinet changes in Germany have at least provided a subject for discussion and guessing the world over. What it means does not seem to be clear even in those countries in close contact with thecentral powers but the allies are taking the position that the action does not of itself portend early peace, though the fact that it has made a clear line between the war and peace parties of Germany may signify the beginning of a rupture that will eventually disrupt and disorganize the powerful political and war machine. Should trie reiehstag refuse to appropriate the money for the war budget, necessitating the dismissal of the members of that body and an election of men to fill their places, the question of peace would then be put to the hungry and suffering people who have for three years stood the test and paid the aw-

(United Press Service' Washington, D. C.. July 17 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —More than $500,000,000 worth of free advertising was given to the United States gov-
jinment in its campaign to float the Liberty Loan, according to estimates made by the treasury officials. This does not include the hundreds of billions worth of space given in small country newspapers which never reached the attention of' the government. Whole newspaper pages, moving pictures, millions of posters, sign boards, hand dodgers, paper bombs, and hundreds of other means of bringing the bonds to the public were donated to the government by patriotic citizens. The use of the editorial and advertising pages of 273 technical papers was donated; trade journals threw open their columns. Boy Scouts spent weeks in folding and mailing 4.600.000 folders printed at the government printing office. Thirty-six different languages were represented in the hundreds of foreign language papers which came to the assistance of the government. Almost 2.000,000 large posters were distributed in all parts of the country free of charge. The number of posters distributed by local committees for local use would more than double the above number. More than 1,000,000 copies of Secretary McAdoo's Liberty Loan speeches and 2,500.000 circulars describing th? loan were mailed from Washington and distributed free. Almost 500,000 Liberty Loan primers were distributed free to the government. Business firms, corporations, chambers of -commerce, schools, private individuals. and every bureau of the government responded to the plea of the government to advertise the bonds on their stationery, and the slogan, “Buy a Liberty Bond” was almost as common during the campaign as a postage stamp. In spite of the hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertising it is estimated that the total bill of the government for floating the loan will run over three million dollars.

July 17 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —T';ree thousand of Gen** ral Chang Hsun's soldiers of the mon archy, who were quartered in the temple of heaven, Peking, have stir rendered with their artillery to the opposition forces, according to delated dispatches from Peking, received here today.

Jn cities where many young men had flocked to work in war industriethe registration was unusually high and the population figures were hood ed to fit the registration. Vienna, via Berlin and London July 17— (Special to Daily Democrat) —Although the Vienna press genet ally regrets Chancellor von BethmannHollweg's fall, several newspapers today bitterly commented on the former premier’s tendency toward com promising on all questions. The Zeit sarcastically pointed out that “Hollweg swallowed with equal facility the conservatives principles of annexation as well as the democrat 1 ic principles of no annexations.” “Although he described treaties as ‘scraps of paper.'” the editorial con tinued, “he doubtless would have been ready to swallow the opposite principle of sanctity in order to save n>: job. His marvellous stomach could have stood it —but it seems too much for others.” The Neue Freie Presse declared: “Hollweg might have known he was signing his own death warrant when he approved the kaiser's Prussian electorial proclamation.” BULLETIN. Paris. July 17 —(Special to Daily Democrat) — German forces made further desperate assaults last nigat in the Champagne seeking to drive the French from their newl? won gain around Mont Teton but were repulsed today's official statement asserted.
