CITIZENS' COMMITTEE.

Very recent events "have" fully "JusTf,t fled the existence here of what has beV Cf»Ui6 known as "The Citizens' Com-

Biittee.'* It is to be hoped that these same events will determine the comImittee to continue its work. I^xtraordinary conditions require extraordinary methods, and the public has ftad a very recent demonstration of |rhat friends of law and order must lubmit to when they exercise such courage as their purpose requires. I The average man holds aloof from the Idea of being called & "reformer." trusts officials chosen for these things to do their duty and to main-* s tain a modicum of law and ordeiv

tativea of th® people grow numb to the encouragement of decent things, then is when a '"Citizens' Committee" is needed, and that community is unfortunate which cannot call to Its aid sturdy citizens, unafraid of the paltry ciritidam of the mob.

BETWEEN THE BLADES.

The more men the crown prince pours into the "pocket" between Rheims and Soissons the more there will be for the allies to kill or captun*. It stiffens the resistance at this point, but cuts Into the general reserves at LudendorfTs disposal. To a layman up a tree it looks as If the C. P. was playing Foch's game to perfaction./ By piling more men Into a salient whose communications are already threatened and whose sides are being nibbled away, he avoids further retreat for a time, but Invitea a German disaster.

THE POLICE "LEAK.*

The public will hope that the investigation of the 'leak" at police headquarters, which blocked the work here of the federal agents Investigating the sale of narcotics, will bo pressed with relentless rigor. There should be instant dismissal of those in the conspiracy. The case Is a reflection on the integrity of the whole police department. tn Justice to the members, the full glare of publicity should be turned on the guilty ones and their connection with the department should cease instantly. Such things injure the morale of th* department, they create false suspicion Against the whole policy of law enforcement, and are a rank injustice to every police officer who is trying to give the public the best that is in him.

The idea that police headquarters should be misrepresented as condoning law Violations doubtless Is repugnant to nearly every man on the force. Those who imagine that such skullduggery can go on without a protest from the citizens and tajxpayers So not grace the uniform of an officer of the law.

SON OVER THERE.

"Say your prayers and stop worrying!*' It was the advice of a sensible woman to a friend of hers whose son has been called into service. Needless worry on the part of the folks at home is a source of keen regret to the boys "over there." The soldier whose home letters are cheering him onward is a far better fighter than the one who reads between the lines that his

her boy away from her." "It's a free country I don't see why they had to take him'" bemoaned one woman.

There are several reasons, everyone of them 100 per cent, why they had to take him. One is that he, being young and strong, is the best fitted to be one of the nation's defenders. It is a fr-e country now, but that freedom ,as purchased with the lives of other mothers' sons In the past

Some must pay that price agaio. This Is a war against war and it must be fought to a finish. It is sometimes hard to realize it, but our nation is in extreme peril. We who are left at home go about our tasks about the same as usual, and only the occasional soldier home on leave, the headlines and the "patriotic drives" remind us sharply that we are at war.

The government has demanded a big sacrifice of its women, particularly of the mothers of sons. But the protection of America's womanhood is another big reason why Uncle Sam "had to take him" and thousands like him.

Every soldier of the allies is a direct, persona] compliment to womankind.

STRAIGHT AHEAD.

General Foch Saturday called for a million mors Americans. A high army official in London said that with this number the Germans will be cleaned out of France. The rout of the Germans from France will mark the beginning of the end of the kaiser's war,

Tribune dispatches yesterday said that bombardment of th© allied lines continues violent, but the shells are not from ordinary field guns or trench mortart. They are from long range gun*. The field guns, and the lighter artillery have been withdrawn. They are trundling northward over the dirt roads which lead to the Vesle river and the Aisne beyond. The German high command, efficient always, h«»s evidently concluded that the guns, rather than the lives, are the hope of ultimate escape.

Bach day's operations makes more plain the completeness with which Foch has baffled the crown prince, and the greatness of the danger whichf confronts rhe prince's army. The allied generalissimo has deprived his enemy of the Initiative in the midst of a great battle. Now he thwarts his enemy's effort to stabilize the wavering sides of the Alsne-Marne salient, and the troops of four nations, under his direction, are gaining consistently, if slowly, everywhere between Soissons and Rheims.

Allied airmen, flying far behind the German lines, report that every condition indicates a retirement. The

Liberals' Leader In Japan's House

1KCZO ©OKA.

Tkuxo Ooka is one of the men leading the national affairs of Japan in war times. He is president of the lower house and also leader of the liberals.

Germans cannot stop at the line of the Ourcq, for the French and Americans, at Oulchy-le-Chateau and Oulchy-le-Ville have won firm foothold to the north of that stream. The crown prince must retreat behind the Vesle, which would completely eliminate the AisneMarne salient, and the hope grows that he cannot stand before he is back at the Aisne again.

In any event, it will be months before the Germans can attempt another great offensive, and American troops ar© landing on French soil every day.

HOROSCOPE.

Newspaper Syndicate.

Monday, July 29,1918.

Saturn and Mercury ftr* fil beneflc aspect this day, according to astrology, but late in the afternoon Mars is in evil place.

In certain places farmers may meet disappointment, owing to ft storm or a plague of Insects.

T-ere is a sign that appears to presage secret work among the people, the spreading of evil reports ana misrepresentation concerning national afpropaganaa dTsmiised as political discussion, the sfers declare.

In the midst of war there Is a forecast of great prosperity in many lines of business and large increases of income for persons of moderate ambitions. This is part of the working out of the law of extremes or surprises, so often referred to by astrologers.

There may be rumors that «re alarming concerning the war during this sway of the stars, but beyond the present are signs of great promise.

The seers command men and women to look upon the far-reaching "blessings of the war," which they declare will be recognized when the spirit of universal brotherhood, now entering the human consciousness, prevails.

As part of the ultimate results of the world conflict changes in military usage, which will precede the final establishment of peace, will be sweeping.

Mars retrograding in Virgo shows that the final downfall of the Turks is Inevitable, astrologers declare.

Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of travel and change. They win benefit during the war. Toung women will have offers of marriage.

Children born on this day may be rash, hasty and indiscreet These subjects of Leo usually have Bouch Individuality.

E. 1* Brown was selected as grand marshal for the Labor Day parade. (Jround was broken for the new Knights of Pythias Temple, Eighth and Walnut streets.

The board of Public works ordered the laying of 96 blocks of sidewalk in the city limits.

dreaming bt THE KB*.

While the inn-spangled ripples slip in from the sea And whisper their wonderful secrets to me, I dream, In my boat with my rod, hook and line, Of tragedies out on the battle-churned brine. And I wish—I have wished so for nothing before!— That calm middle age had not knocked at my door And bade me stay home With the old and the sick While they in whose veins is the blood hot and quick Are scanning the waves, for the perlscope's tip, From the cloud-piercing tap of some steeleoated ship.

I am makiner-th« atar that ray ieetlny puides Why, In takinp my youth and my Dower bfsidos, Sh« left me the dream and the seethe of It all— A yearn for the days that I cannot recall! If the ripht to the fight must be taken from me. Why the 1 renin in the sun by the side of the sea? If my share of the fighting they'll not lL-t me bear, Why then must I fret and so ardently euro? But the sun-spangled ripples slip in from e s^a Nor answer my heart-breaking riddle lor me. —Strickland Gillllan, In Farm Life.

WHO MAXES NEEDLES?

Not the United State*. We make thousands of things and we have added the manufacture of a great many others since the war bepan. but, although we make sewing machine needles and darning needles, the little sharp sewing needle comes to us from over the seas.

England haa always led the wwrll in needlemaking. and Japan and Germany began to make needles not more than ten yeaijs ago. Scotland furnishes the steel wire from which they are made and England needle factories cut the wire into pieces that are twice the length or the needle to be made. Bandits of these lengths. 20,000 to the bundle, are put into a furnace which takos the temper out of the steel. Then the lf-ngihs are rolled till they are straight, when they go to a machine
