Within tba last few days German troops facing tha Americans in France have had a n«w experience in the horrors of war, though it was an old experience on the allied side. The Americans have been sending over a few doses of mustard gas, a peculiarly torturing chemloal which has been a monopoly of the Germans, and contiued '•o until American chemists devised means for producing the pmt substance in quantities.

Th© horror* of gas warfare would mot have been suffered in this war if the German command had not willed it. Jit was their Idea, and if the mustard fas now going their way inflict* the

same excruciating agony upon them that the British and' French soldiers suffered when they were deluged with chlorine at a time when no man outside of Germany dreamed that such an atrocity was possible, the men who roncelved the Idea and forced It on the world are responsible.

The pity Is that the gas from the allied side will never blind the eyes and peel the skins of the kaiser and bis tilth commnnd.

HOW UNCLE SAM DOES IT.

The United States government Is not going to be content with merely reeducating and rehabilitating its soldiers who have been disabled by wounds, and fitting them for useful and gainful occupations it is not going to leave them to shift for themselves, but will exert an active continuing interest in their welfare.

This does, not mean that the government is to coddle them or treat them as weaklings, but it Is going to take an active Interest In securing them work, and In other ways endeavor to make Bp to them the opportunities and advantages they lost by reason of wounds received in lighting their country's battles.

Every liberty Loan Bond and every "War Savings Stamp purchased aids in this work*

SOLDIERS' INSURANCE.

Secretary McAdoo has received the following cablegram from Gen. Pershing

All ranks of the American expeditionary forces appreciate deeply the generous measure the government has taken to provide insurance for their families, in proof of which more than 9u per cent of men have taken out insurance. To wisely provision for their loved ones heartens our men and strengthens the bonds that unite the army and people in ovr strong determination to triumph in our most righteous cause.

The bureau of war-risk insurance up to June 28 has written $21,566,000,000 Insurance, representing 2,570,455 applications. The average amount of insurance applied for is $8,387, and in some battalions* und regiments, 8om# in France and some here, every man has taken out Insurance. In some units evf-ry man Is insured

WW ERE Tp PUT THE TAX.

The long list of articles whioh treasury officials ask congress to tape as luxuries is said to contain Items which will not be considered seriously, and it is possible that some of the suggestions were not expected to meet with unqualified approval. It Is even possible that some of the honorable members will welcome the opportunity to kill proposed taxes on luxuries which would hit the particular luxuries produced in the districts they happen to represent.

But this aspect of the matter Is aside from the main issue, which Is whether taxes of the general character proposed bv the treasury shall be imposed. There Is not much to say for the negative. A luxury tax will not be pleas-^ ant, and more or less disturbance of business will result, but the same thing may be said of any war tax.

In favor of the tax stands the fttet that the government needs to tap every source of revenue, and that In order to bring the utmost power of the people Into the war It Is necessary to discourage every form of self-indulgence.

A tax on luxuries will produce considerable revenue, and it will discourage the diversion of labor and capital to the production di unnecessary things. The tax will fall upon those best able to pay and will not Interfere with the production of anything that is needed to carry on the war.

Those are reasons enough for a tax on luxuries, but if another is wanted there stands the fact that such taxes I have been tried in this country when 'other wars wer« financed and have i proved successful

"AFTER ME, THE DELUGE."

It mav be taken for granted that the reason for the retirement of Dr. Richard Von Kuehlmann from his post as foreign secretary is to be found in his speech on German war aims, and that the particular part of the speech which brought his downfall wafc the passage in which he said that in view of the number of nations engaged. Including the nations overseas, a decision of the war by military means alone could not be ejxpected.

He believed that poHtfcaf tneMM must be employed also, and the admission was entirely too much for the extreme war party, including the kaiser, who was reported to be furious because the foreign secretary had virtually contradicted the blood-andpiron speeches of his supreme war lord.

If Von Kfuehlmann had cared to, he could have defended his speech. Every war ends In peace overtures and the negotiation of a treaty. Diplomats round out what the soldiers rough-hew. But Kuehlmann tried to back out. He said he was misquoted and declared his unalterable belief that victory to the limit waii 'the first condition of any peace. But his excuse, retraction, explanation, or whatever it may be called, failed to satisfy the Junkers. Implacable frightfulness is th© only attitude they will tolerate In a German official. All opposition, they maintain, must be beaten to the ground, after which Germany will take what it pleases without condition, explanation or recompense.

The Junkers prevailed, Kuehlmann retires, and the world Is notified that when any German suggests a peace conference in which reason shall take the place of force he Is not speaking for the rulers of Germany, even though he speaks in the character of a minister. Unintentionally, they have forged a weapon that will be used against them with telling effect when German military power begins to crumble and the war lords appeal to the statesmen to Bav© the day.

Von TCuehlmann said upon tils retirement that he was "sick of it all." Jle and many other Germans will be sicker before the day of reckoning.

It Is reported that the kaiser appropriated $30,000,000 for propaganda in the United States. He probably wishes he had the money back.

Von Hertllng says Germany

is

epfcn

to peace proposals, and then rejects any that might be made In advance.

Monday, July 15, 1918.

There la a fairly favorable rule lat* in the day. In the morning Mars and Uranus are adverse, but in the afternoon Saturn and Venus rule for good.

It is a time when ther* may be difficulties for our army, and especially for aviation.

Again the seers declare that the nation will be tried by many extraordinary events and found equal to supreme demands upon it.

Under this sway the danger from disorganizing and depressing thoughts is magnified. Uranus is held, in this aspect, to produce despondency, which should not he entertained by the human mind.

There may be some trouble about plants where iron, steel and metais are manufactured into implements of war. This may be a strike or labor agitation.

During this role of the stars treachery is believed to be made unusually easy. Spies will be found in places ol great trust, the seers declare.

Congress has the forecast of debates on new questions involving peace terms some time before the end of the year.

Late today love affairs should prosper. The evening is a fortunate time for weddings, which will multiply during the next few weeks.

Saturn is in a place favorable for mines and mining. Coal has a leading that -will be lucky for those who have foresight.

Farmers today hav* tfie best possible guidance of the stars and ther* is a sign presaging great success for women in agriculture.

During this configuration the teaching of methods of preserving the products of the earth should be especially beneficial

Persons whose birthdate it Is should guard against law, disputes and changes. The augury is for meetings with new friends, success in business and much pleasure, despite the war.

Children born on this day may be clever, rash and errati* but generally successful in life.

CONSTIPATION

Constipation oan never he cured by the use of salts, pills, or cathartics of any kind. The continued use of these weakens the bowels and increases the condition you are trying to relieve. Milks Emulsion is not a cathartic. It simply dissolves all solidified or decaying faeces and carries it off—with out any pain or griping effect, leaving the lining of the bowels coated with a healing soothing oil. In other words, it act" as a lubricant. The Milks Emulsion Oifc. Terra Haate. .. Ind,

Gentlemen:—I take pleasure in recommending Milks Emulsion to any one suffering from stomach trouble and constipation. After having taken five bottles, I have been greatly benefitted.
