There really is no such a thing as neutrality any longer. Either the nations of Europe are against our country or they are for us. ' It has been pointed out that with Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Holland helping to feed Germany, the war will be prolonged. They must be

estopped.

Holland has denied her ports to armed American ships which means to all American ships. American food must be denied hpr until sh lift

that bnn.

Xotway has choked up our shipyards, while in hPr no,n h tr m,f

submarines for Germany by the hundred. Sweden is pro-German and her shipping facilities and her markets are at Germany's disposal- Denmark's

iuuu nuppiy goes rreeiy to Germany. Sweden. Norway, Holland and Denmark must give guarantees, and they must do more. They must range themselves with us against the world's enemy. Otherwise, a strict embargo. . Let us get down to brass tacks- .

RUSSIA is rocking the boat.

GARDEN spot of the world: Our back yard.

AS we said before, divorces are to be had too easily in the' courts of Indiana-

EE careful of hasty military preparations, warns Gen. Joffre. Whaddya kidding us for, Joff?

THAT reminds us. Practice up on shouting "Banzai :" Japan is also sending a mission to us.

JOFFRE, we may be short of French flags around here, but we're not

short of enthusiasm for France.

WHAT THE COMMITTEE COULD DO. Opponents of the Weeks-Madden plan to establish a joint Congressional committee on the conduct of the war are asking what such a committee could do. To answer this question properly it is necessary to remember that such a committee as Messrs. Weeks and Madden have in mind and such as their identical resolution specifies is not a mere committee of investigation

but a committee of co-ordination, not a committee of post-mortem criticism but a committee of pre-natal initiativeSuch a committee, accordingly, could have prevented the folly of the War Department in announcing that candidates for officers' commissions in the army who will have to put in three months oP preliminary training must spend that time without pay. thus setting a premium upon wealth, establishing an aristocracy of officers, and belying the democratic principle upon which the selective draft is founded. The Weeks-Madden committee would have been able to know about the War Department's foolish proposal in ad

vance of its publication; and(could have stopped it ' The committee could also prevent such a piece of folly as that contemplated by the Navy Department, where the Secretary has undertaken to delay the construction of the fighting units of the fleet which Congress has authorized so that the shipyards may devote themselves to the building of the jitney merchantmen which the shipping board is going to have with the fifty millions which has been voted to them. It is more than two years since some of these warships were authorized, and they have been delayed

thus far because Secretary Daniels was waiting for further funds with which to fix up the navy yards so that the battleships could be built there and by deserving Democrats. Now he seeks further to delay them on the ground.

we assume, that the money for warships will always be available, whereas

Congress may discover the futility of the shipping board and cut off that nursery of old salts in the flower of its youth. Meantime, the navy, the first line of defense and the branch of the service where we have been expected to render the first aid to our allies, must go without it3 much needed additions.

There are doubtless other places where the committee could render good

service of a highly practical nature in saving the administration from itself.

MEET UP WITH MR. CLARK, GENTS. On Saturday evening before the final vote on the selective conscription bill. Champ Clark arose in his seat and indulged In the following classy remarks: "A lot of old skunkers all over the country, who think that no

body is going to be forced into this war except boys from 19 t) 25, and that their miserable, cowardly hides will be safe, have been sending telegrams here- I know them. I know every man in my district, who has telegraphed me, and I know who i3 at the bottom of it, and I can take a double-barreled shotgun and run out of my district every man who sent me a telegram to vote for conscription, g and, if school doesn't keep too long, I will run a few out, too." That's a fine liftie oration to go out to the world as coming from the speaker of our house of representatives, now isn't it? The party responsible for his presence in the position he occupies Bhould feel proud of him. The plea of ignorance of the man's quality can hardly be entered for he was twice re-elected speaker after appearing before a Detroit audience in a state of beastly intoxication, says the Fort Wayne News-

NCLE SAM does bis own printing -f the attractive posters and literature every one sees

on all sides these days in the campaign for recruits for the navy. At the United States navy publicity headquarters in New York the work Is done entirely by enlisted men who have been picked from crews of many ships lecause of their experience and adaptability for this work. The equipment in 'k most up to date obtainable, and the

big printing office is run with all of the routine and precision that mark any organization of the navy. The bu reau is in charge of Commander K. M Bennett, U. S. N. When the recen call for enlistment was sent out fron Washington the plant was kept goin day and night to supply the recmitin stations of the country" with billin.r matter and literature. Tons of sucl printed material are shipped every week to all parts of the nation and t the ships under the country's flair.

EVEN little Hayti. finding her citizens slaughtered by the U-boats, finds it necessary to help exterminate the Prussians.

PRINCE of Wales wants to get married. Aye, we warn him in time that the price of milk, flour and potatoes is something fearful.

NOTING that the spring skirts are to be fuller, we hasten to reassure you that the more filling in the skirts the better we like them.

SUBJECTS of King of Sweden threaten revolution. Well, the Swedes penned in by blockades have to have some sort of a diversion.

COST of living has become so that you don't even see ads from the furniture houses offering to feather one's nest for $99 on the installment plan.

WOMEN can aid their government in this crisis, as we have told the missus, by making hot corn bread every day. We urge this in order that wheat flour will be saved.

THE distillers have asked the government to double the tax on liquor. You don't hear the Chautauqua stars or the wealthy prohibitionists asking that their taxes he increased, do you?

PERSIA also wants to be a republic. Maybe after the Turks Afghans, .Tartars and South Sea island cannibals have chosen presidents instead of kings they will wake up over in Germany." OUTSIDE of an army of 200,000 men, the loan or seven billions, the use of our navy, and as much grain, coal and munitions as we can send 'em, the Allies will manage to struggle along without any further assistance from us.

IN our stupid way we have thought how pitiful' it is that some women at a time like this should seek to improve their knowledge of Red Cross work when they might be better employed in playing bridge at a crucifying party.

HAVING contributed this month to the church, the wiff's garden seed fund, the Half-Sole Shoe fund, the Y- M. C. A. War Camp fund, the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, and having staked an old partner for one night's hotel bill we find the burden of dispensing our philanthropies taking up so much time that we have a mind to imitate Julius Rosenwald or Andrew Carnegie and have a secretary solely for this purpose. MAKE THEM COME TO TIME. . We would like to see this country, now at war with the Central allies, be much more vigorous in its foreign policy with the so-called neutrals-
