"GOING OVER."

General Pershing yesterday laid a Wreath on the grave of Lafayette In the little cemetery outside of Paris. That 1*111 recall your earliest history V lesson and prepare you for some history that hasn't been made.

Unlike Marshal Joffre, whose welcome in America was so enthusiastic, Gen-

eral Pershing is not a famous soldier, life has made a good record in the

American army, but outside of his own country was little known. Nevertheless, it is easy to understand why Paris has given him an enthusiastic welcome.

To France, General Pershing is the living evidence of American participation in the war. He is the earnest of the thousands who are to follow and make up. in the defense of France tor the* almost exhausted man-power of that country. He stands for an assured victory over the Prussian menace that has been hovering as a dark shadow above France since 1870. *«How soon we can make good our promise, signalized in General Pershing's presence in France, we do hot know, but that we shall do so with a free heart and willing hand is kssured, for one of the elements in, the American attitude toward this war is gratitude to France. Americans who remember and cherish the history of their "country have always felt that sometime and somehow we should, as a seriously humorous writer has put it, "return •Lafayette's call," and with Pershing in

France we have returned it.

PRUSSIAN ARGUMENT.

Those who are watching the course of events in the socialist peace conferences in Stockholm will probably not trouble themselves to read the German socialists' proposals much beyond the •point where it is argued that there shall be no compensation for Belgium,! straightforwardness,

for the announced reason that it is impossible to say which belligerents were responsible for the damage.

Th§ German chancellor admitted the wrong against Belgium and promised compensation, but that does not make the slightest difference in the minds of some people, because Belgium had the temerity to resist the wrongdoer.

If the Belgians themselves damaged their country as a part of their effort to defend it, the Belgians must stand the loss, arid if the English, in their efforts to help the Belgians, did more

of Belgian desolation can apportion the responsibility, Belgium Is to get nothing. Such logic is irresistible.

SOMEONE MUST DO IT.

President Wilson has given assurance to the farmers, the producers of foOd, that it 1b not his intention, if given the power conferred by this bill, to force lower prices for what they have to sell. He has promised the consumer that prices shall not be artificially created of maintained for what they have to buy.

Between these two extremes there might seem to be an irreconcilable difference. But there is not. The con sumer Is perfectly willing that the fartner should receive a fair, in fact, a liberal price, for what he has to sell. What both farmer and consumer object to is a false elevation of prices which often occurs between the two as a result of speculation and manipula tion.

The president promises to stqp tnis manipulation under the proposed law. The Tribune has confidence enough in Woodrow Wilson to believe he mean* what he says, and further, that he Will do what he promises. We have trusted him with our liberties, our lives and property. Why not give him the power he considers necessary to conserve food supplies and help win the war?

A "HIM" OF HATE.

If* there be anj^lingering remnant of belief in or respect for "the divinity which doth hedge about a king," It should be dissipated by Emperor Wll helm's message to Constantine, the de posed king of Greece and his royal brother-in-law. Says the kaiser: '1 have heard with wrath of the lnfa mous outrages committed by Our common enemies upon you and your dynasty. I assure you that your deprl vation can be only temporary. "The mailed fist of Germany, with further aid from Almighty God, will restore you to your throne, of which no man by right can rob you. "The armies of Germany and Germany's allies will wreak vengeance on those who have dared so insolently to lay their criminal hands on you. "We hope to welcome you in Germany at the earliest opportunity. A thousand cordial greetings from "YOUR WILLIAM."

That kind of thing may still be tolerated, for a time, in Europe, but in America it is consic&red piffle.

PINCH-BACK COATS.

Time was wh^n the earlier day commercial drummer brought the styles in men's wear to town, as well as the newest humorous stories. All that has passed away. The hilarious good fellow with the treating habit and the ihexhaustible fund bf merry anecdotes, has left the road. He has bpen crowded out by the traveling salesman, a person of strictly business principles, with a plain line of talk, a strong appreciation of what is called the direct appeal, and possibly a pair of shellrimmed glasses and a knowledge of golf. He aims to make his impression by his samples, his sincerity, his and not by his dress nor his airs.

Of course, this is the ideal salesman. There are other members of the craft, it appears, who inject t$o much personality into their professional methods. The other day a clever talker at the salesmanship congress took up this subject of making the clothes hs the occupation, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Salesmen, he intimated,

into the purchasing state of mind by the unobtrusiveness of the salesman's appearance. If he can't keep his eyes off the tatter's clothes he certainly isn't likely to put his thoughts on the samples. There is another point that the salesman should bear in mind. He must concentrate his attention on the prospective buyer and not on the attractive stenographer.

All this expert advice applies as well to other lines of activity. The salesman's advice happens to be particularly Interesting because of its psychological bearing on the' subject of applied efficiency.

An agitation Is going on in London for the abolition of trousers in favor of kilts. One suspects militant suffragism of conducting a flank attack undfer cover of the war.

Emmeline Pankhurst says that the war will help American women. Bless you, the American women help themselves, and don't need the adventitious aid of hostilities.

The city of, MOM (Belgium), has been lined $100,000 because a newspaper in Holland printed something Germany didn't like. That's one of the ways a press gag works.

The kdlser will never be allowed to "throw a belt of military power across Europe Into Asia" while Uncle Sam has anything to say about it.

The French are having difficulty in pronouncing General Pershing's name. Probably they don't know what we suffered over Marshal Joffre.

The country has a new army. It is its army of bond buyers, which has grown from 300,000 to ten times that number in a few weeks.

General Pershing is in France learning what the allies want done by the boys who know how and will soon be there to do It.

The Italian commissioners may learn what a fine time they missed in passing up Terre Haute by consulting General Joffre.

Letters From the People

Jewish Patriotism.

Editor of the Tribune—The Jewish fraternal order, I. O. B. A., which held Its yearly convention at Atlantic City on June 3, 4 and 6, has not only pledged to support the president morally but has unanimously appropriated $100,000 out of its endowment fund to be invested in Liberty Bonds. The Ohio lodge of the same order, at last night's meeting instructed its treasurer. A Silverman, to draw $200 from the sick benefit fund and invest in Liberty Bonds. J, JACQBSON.

Religious Soruples.

Editor of the Tribune—I wish to protest against the freedom of the Amish from conscription. In our township the majority of our male citizens are Amish, and, strange to say, there are few single Yankee men to go.

The Amish enjoy our freedom, protection and educational advantages, and as most of us are opposed to this terrible war, which, of course, had to be to- insure our freedom in years to come, it seems unfair to us-

In the woman's department of your paper I occasionally see society ladies attired in the Red Cross costume. It is all very picturesque, but let us leave that noble costume for those who by their long and difficult training have honestly earned it. In our community we are trying to organize a unit of the Red Cross. We have not much time to devote to it between gardening, feeding our farmers and numerous oth«r work. We are trying to do our "small bit*' for our country.

Thursday, June 21, 1917,

According to astrology this Is not favorable day, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury are all adverse, but late in the afternoon Mercury changpes .to kindly aspect.

There is a sign read as forecasting criticism, of army plans and dlssatta faction concerning policies of grave moment to the nation.

The aspect is supposed to Interfere with concentration and .to have a bad effect upon the health. It is well to eat little meat while It prevails.

Money anxieties for great and small seem to be indicated. There is a prognostication that bankers and those who influence financial policies will face supreme perplexities, owing to some mental attitude on the part of the public.

While finances may present problems, the seers declare that In the United States there will be much prosperity in many lines of business, but they warn against fear that will encourage hoarding which will affect tradespeople.

Mercury is changeable today, but while it is not wise to sign contracts or agreements of any sort until late in the afternoon, editors and publishers should profit.

Leading Drngsliti Guarantee Result*. My heart bleeds for evenr drunkard, and I sincerely wish I could meet them face to face and tell them how I was saved from the clutches of the demon drink. If this were possible thousands could be saved from drunkards' graves. Yes, my appetite for drink was completely destroyed. Here is the prescription that saved me. One prepafed tescum powder twice a day in coffee, tea, or any liquid. Almost everything had been tried on me without results, so don't experiment with anything but tescum powders, then you will not be disappointed. Since the powder is colorlesB, odorless and tasteless It can b* given secretly. It is intended to destroy the terrible craving. The results are so startling that druggists are refunding the money if it falls. (See money refund guarantee, which, druggists are authorized to give when above prescription is filled.) There Is absolutely no risk on your part, so you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Mothers and sisters are now able to cure their loved ones of this terrible habit with no expense if it falls. If druggists were not confident of success they could not afford to make such an offer. Have the prescription filled today, before you forget it.
