BUSINESS AS USUAL.

The Tribune is strongly inclined to pathize with the protest of the Nalonal Retail Merchants' association in it* demurrer against the proposed plan discourage the giving of merehanisa for Christmas presents and to urtail ^he Christmas spirit generally.

Release of men for war labor is, of urse, to be encouraged aid approved, ut it must be remembered that there }«re hundreds of thousands, not to say "••i, .millions of employes—men unfitted for "•f-Buch labor, women, boys and girls— ,i-A*vho would be thrown out of employ^"jrrient to become charges on others i£ ^ir'euch a campaign was carried to an extreme. 4,^ One of tha chief aims of the gov'.^ernment is to popularize the war and ijj encourag* thrift by inducing the 'masses to become purchasers of Libjj prty Bonds and War Savings Stamps und to subscribe to the various funds if which come in rapid succession in 'order that th® ^rmies anl the navy ft may be properly encouraged and sust.ained. It is incomprehensible how i. this aim can be realized if we are to have campaigns which look to the deimoralization of business and the shutout frflm employment, of those cvonot possibly be employed in ,the making of war munitions and sup-

f'ne of the grounds urged by the c9Uncil for the campaign is that it ^»*iU ten^ to save materials, and especially metals. But the merchants vejy properly point out that the supply of metal^ which may be used in non-essential industries, including

Aside from that, however, the tendency, especially since the beginning of the European war, has been to make Christmas Rifts of useful articles, and no better time offers itself than now to make this growing custom permanent as a part of the movement for national thrift.

In the last twa issues of the Saturday Evening Post, Mrs. Neville Gerhardii. wife of a United States naval attaches at Berlin, writes of "Berlin Days** and tells how the European peoples at war have kept up the Christmas spirit, their fetes aild holidays as a matter of safe national psychology, keeping the people in a better mental state towards war's graver demands.

NOT FOR THE U. S. A.

Twelve citizens comprising a jury in the Chicago federal court have decided that this country wants none of the Bolshevik!. This jury found the I. W. W. horde guilty and the one hundred defendants face prison terms anywhere from two' to twenty years.

The trial which has just been concluded, however, was free from passion or prejudice. Judge Landis went to extreme lengths in allowing the accused men and their counsel all the latitude possible. He even invited some of them to repeat in court their "soap-box" arguments, and it is related that "Third Rail" Doran, one of their most popular orators, required four hours to do this. Both Haywood and his principal counsel admit that the court's instructions were eminently fair. As a matter of fact, they leaned toward the accused, if anything. The jury required but an hour *o reach a verdict of guilty, and the maximunt penalty, if imposed, makes it possible that most of 'the convicted men will spend the remainder of their lives in confinement.

The value of the verdict, i» a broad sense, is not so much that Haywood and others who have preached a seditious and treasonable doctrine to a cla.ss of men who are not mentally equipped or morally strong enough to withstand it will be punished. It lies in the fact that the men, notwithstanding the provocation of their offense, have been given ar fair trial. The majesty of the law has been upheld. Instead of mob violence, the I. W. W. have been up against the cold steel of justice. With every opportunity to prove their case, they have failed to do it. The result should be an immediate dissolution of the organization, so far as it has any existence in fact, and the rejection of the ideas it is supposed to represent as a factor in American industry.

CARRYING THE LOAD.

Some of the arguments advanced against extending the draft ages sound as 'if they were adduced merely for argument's sake.

This nation's manhood power has as yet been scarcely touched by the demands of the war. Germans were talking about bleeding France "white" two or three years ago and, in spite of the magnificent conduct of France's armies since then, it is a fact that the manhood strength of the republic nas been seriously undermined. Much the same condition exists in reference to Great Britain.

None of America's active allies has

been sparing of its men. And these soldiers, be it remembered, were fighting America's battle long before Africa awoke t© her own peril. Except for the granite defense of Great' Britain and France in the early years of the war, Germany would have achieved the quick triumph she^ dreamed so long of winning and America would have lived to rue, in degradation and self-reproach, the time it decided to keep out of the fight for deccncy.

it is our turn. In a large meas

ure the issue of victory or defeat for the cause we embrace depends upon the number of trained soldiers we are able to send to the battle front within the next few months. It would be cowardly for the United States now to be niggardly with its man power. Wat would be untrue to the pledge of our own war declaration and to America's fame for courageous, fair dealing, were we now to stin6»- our offering to the causer

Conscription is no longer an issue. The war department is convinced that the age limits in the present measure will best accomplish what America has set out to accomplish. There need be but a minimum of discussion* The people are for the war and for the best means of winning an early triumph.

Pass the new draft bi1!. Every hour's unnecessary delay is a reprieve for Germany.

EXCUSES RUNNING LOW.

Comments of the German newspapers on the military situation are of two kinds, one absurd and the other significant. "When one military critic describes the retreat from the Marne and the flight in Picardy as voluntary retirements over ground won by' victory, he merely tries to call black white.

Others take a different course and admit with more or less frankness that German arms have suffered serious reverses. "The most serious defeat of the war" is the way one German newspaper speaks of the battle in Picardy, and with the facts staring them in the face, the German public cannot fail to see that those who admit defeat are the true interpreters of events in France

But the score in this year's fighting is not yet even. The Germans still have more gain than loss. If the reversed just suffered are sufficient to wring admissions of defeat from influential German newspapers, what will be their tone if Germany closes accounts this year with the balance wholly on the wrong side? What will the German leaders, who already think It necessary to rebuke the "defeatists," say to keep up German courage when defeat follows defeat?

If they cannot keep up the pretense of victory now, they will be hard put to escape an admission of failure before very long, if allied successes continue. When that time comes—as it must come—the German government will resume its talk of peace by agreement, and the pacifists will rise in a body with a demand that the allies go out to meet the junkers hall' way.

On the other side will l?e those who believe that the argument which has already brought a change in spirit over German «omment on the war is the argment which will impose righteous terms of peace on Germany. The victories of this year prove that it is the only argument most Germans understand, and it should be used until a full comprehension of the meaning of

The people of Vienna were grateful because D'Annunzio dropped nothing more fatal than manifestos from his airplane, but the government of Austria wouli# probably have preferred bombs.

The government won't gua-antee material for Billy Sunday's Providence tabernacle, on the ground that his work is non-essential. Is Billy's vo cabulary equal to the strain?

The war industries board intends to simplify styles in furniture. If they'll just do it, and go the limit, the action will make for ari as well as economy.

A number of German generals in Picardy have been cashiered, but tho crown prince, who seems to have so kind of a pull, still keeps his job.

"The German offensive has stfffered an unpleasa.nt interruption," says Von Ardenne, feeling carefully—almost painfully—for his words.

"Keep the enemy on the run," advises Gen. March and that will be a good slogan to remember for the fourth Liberty Loan.

HOROSCOPE.

Newspaper Syndicate.

Wednesday, Ayg. 21, 1918.

The Sutt Is in a place that is of friendly influence today Mars and Saturn are adverse. According *to astrology there may he severe fighting for American troops in the next few weeks, for valor is strongly indicated.

This is not a lucky day for engineers or persons who are engaged in constructive work in which iron and steel are used. They should safeguard their own persons as well as the products of their labor.

During this configuration, which is read as particularly favorable for persons who have large ambitions and have won success, it is not an auspicious time to deal with them, as they are likely .to b« affogaa^ and iaultfinding.

This is not a fortunate sway for mines pr miners and some sort of trouble* seems to be foreshadowed. Accidents in deep workings appear to be indicated as well as possible labor difficulties.

Aged persons should be very careful this day, lest they overdo. The planetary rule is likely to sap the strength.

Some sort of disappointment may be reported to Americans, but they are admonished to remember that the stars (presage all good for the final outcome of the war. The seers foretell events that will develop greatness for the nation that will be more wonderful than any man dares to predict.

Physicians, surgeons and nurses come under a rule that is most tavorable. Women will inforce all three armies of mercy, to an astonishing degree of usefulness, astrologers predict.

Mistakes in the working out of some new law may cause discussion and legislation next month.

Excitement on the Pacific coast, owing to some shipping event, is foretold for next month.

Increase In the number of fires will be noted in Chicago, San Francisco and New York, it is prophesied. Incendiarism may increase.

Persons whose birthdate it is should safeguard, the health and be careful of money affairs in the coming year. Domestic anxiety is probable.

Letters From the People

Shorter School Hours.

Editor of *he Tribune: I thought I would take advantage of your newspaper, which seems to give everyone a fair chance to express their opinions. I would suggest that on account of the shortage of men there would be a ruling made in high school to allow students to do their studying in the evening, and only detain them at the building during recitations, fixing such hours In succession which would release each student a half day for other useful work. I further feel sure that one and a half hours of home study would be equal to four hours in a room full of boys and girls, as there is bound to be a great deal of abstraction. This rule is used in Indianapolis, and allows a great many boys to work half days.

Hoping the school board will consider this matter for the welfare of all, I am, very respectfullv.

Mr. Butler Tells How Cuticura Healed Blisters On Boy

"When our boy was i few days old he broke out under his chin with little blisters, and his neck was soon covered with a dry scale. It must have itched and burned for he wa8 so fretful, and he gave us no rest. He could not sleep. "After hearing of Cuticura Soap and Ointment we suited to use them.

After a few applications we could see that he was greatly relieved, and when

we had used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and less than two boxes of Cuticura Ointment he was healed." (Signed) J. E. Butler, Brown St.,Crooksville,Ohio.

Delicate, sensitive skins with tendency to pimples, redness or roughness should not be irritated by impure, strongly medicated soaps. Why not use on the face, and for every-day toilet purposes, Cuticura, a pure, gentle soap, touching the first signs of pimples or irritation with Ointment?

The Tribune Raaders Want to Know Where Your 8oldisr Boy Is and What Ha Is Doing—Send in Your 8oldier Letters to ths Tribune.

FROM CLIFFORD STANLEY. In France. July 5, 1911. Mr. Richard Werneke:

Dear Friend Dick—I received your second letter of a month or so ago this letter must have been delayed, as I generally receive my mail within about three or four weeks from the time it leaves the States. Yesterday was the Fourth of July and we had a big time amd all en joyed ourselves very much: we had a large crowd of people in the afternoon and all the Americans and French sol diers passed review before a French officer. 1 am located at a srood aviation camp and working at my old trade. I have taken several rides in airplanes and enjoy the sport of flying: very much. This is a good country over here., if a person likes it. I will take mine in the good old U. S. A. I am located near a good sized town where we usually spend our time off. You sDeak Of me handling a rifle—well. I only carried a gun twice and that was when I was on military police duty. I am so far awav from the front that you would not know there was anv war. All the news I get is what I read in. the newspapers. There are three or four American newspapers published in Parts that we receive every dav and I received the Tribunes you sent mf Many thanks for them. I suppose th^rei was plenty of excitement in Terre Haute last election dav as usual. I happened to do a little camDaiKning myself, as I had three or four of vnur last cards in my pocket and I stu-k them up on a teiephonn pole. I thought some one would see them and recosrnize you. Everything is going fine over here and I get pienty to eat. Give my best regards to everybody in Terre Haute and I hope to see you all asrain soon. With best wishes to all and love, write soon.

FROM TOM MURPHY.

Mrs. Delia Murphy. Dear Mother —Just received your letter last night and, believe me, I was glad to get it. It has been such a long time since I heard from you that I was afraid that you had given up in disgust from not hearing from me.. From the way your letter reads, you have not received my first letter ag vet. I do not often get an opportunity to write, this being my fifth chance, and it may be that my letters contained information displeasing to the censors One must be careful over here, for the slightest Information maybe the very link that is needed to form the chain of knowledge that the Huns are after.

We are gaining right along and capturing prisoners 'right and left. One Yank came in with eighty-four—a whole company—with all the officers. He got lost in "No Man's Land" a.nd ran into the captain, who. gave him a cigarette and showed him t^e route to the American lines, with the entire company following. The Germans seem better satisfied as prisoners than as soldiers, when they find out that what they have been told of the inhuman treatment by th« Americans is false. At first, they are somewhat frightened, until they get used to the civility of the French and American troops. They are very .much distrusted just now because getting Russia out of the way didn't bring in the "chow" they were looking for. They are having all kinds of substitutes for bread, ?vpn to mixing straw wifh enough of some other stuff to stick it together, and eating that, which seems to me like a slim diet to fight on and a rather absurd attempt to fool your stomach. I believe I would rather starve *n an empty stomach than one filled with straw, but they get hungry enough to try most anything.1 see by "a late issue of the "Digest" that some would spread the idea that there «re no U. S. A. troops in France. That bunch of guys should be interned at Mattewan instead of Atlanta, for it all amounts to this, They have "bats in their belfries" and they refuse to come out.

I am afraid that when Mr. T. W. Records comes to France he shall have to do the looking up himself, for we are not permitted to mention names of places where we are stationed. He will be bound to miss some of us. and while I wish to be among the lucky number, shall not be greatly disappointed if we fail to connect.

I suppose Jessie is with you by now. I hope she may find some way of staving. so von won't be left alone if George is taken in the draft. Give her my love and welcome to the "Old Mans" (Old Manse).

This is all for now. Am having best of health and good "chow." Love to all. Your son,

TOM.
