WHERE BUESCHING AND HIS ILK BELONG. . Of course it was in Fort Wayne where the U. S. flag was ordered taken down from the courthouse. Fred Buesching, a wealthy contractor, born in Germany, angrily declined to subscribe to the Liberty loan when he was solicited. Buesching came from Germany probably to escape being forced into army. He came here a poor man. - He has grown wealthy in Indiana and this country has been good to him, probably beyond his wildest dreams of avarice, yet when in her hour of need he was asked to lend money to the U- S. he got sore. about it, refusing on the ground that he was "neutral." Who gave this fellow the right to4e "neutral?" Is he stupid and bullheaded enough to think that he or anyone else in this country can be "neutral" when it is at warBuesching is a public enemy. He has shown it. He has proved it, and we are curious to see what Fort Wayne will do to this German. We know what ought tq be done to him. He ought to be spotted add branded. He ought to be chased out into the Atlantic ocean and forced tc swim to his beloved fatherland if he can. The people of Fort Wayne ought to see that he gets no more contracts. His property ought to be confiscated and given to the state if he persists as a public enemy, and any other German who feels the same as .he does ought to be given the same treatment. If there are any other natives of Germany living in this county who feel like Buesching, let them get out and get out in a hurry. They are needed in Germany to man the sub-marines that sink women and children, and to fly in airships Aat drop acid-bombs on school houses and hospitals.

THE HOUR OF GIVING NOW AT HAND. We are proud of Lake county. We are proud of its banks, its newspapers and the people, young and old, who have shown their splendid patriotism in subscribing to the great Liberty loan- Lake county in the main has responded nobly and it will respond againIt is true that a large number of people infused for one reason or another tp lend to Uncle Sam, but Lake county must not be scolded because cf this fact, for it has upheld the honor of this corner of the state by rallying around the flag as many of the wealthy counties of the state have not done. Lake county is now isked not to' lend but to give. The response made by its people next week will determine the amount of its patriotism, but we have no doubt as to the outcome The appeal of on behalf of the Red Cross is nation-wide. Pastors in every church in the country tomorrow should in no uncertain and hesitant way include an appear for this great work so that when solicitors begin work among the people on Monday they will be given generous response. It is not necessary to tell why this money Is needed for the Red Cross; it is enough to say that it is needed and will be needed badly from now on. Give all you can afford to give to the Red Cross. Make sacrifices to give. Your bo? and your neighbor's boy may soon be weltering in blood on a foreign battle field' while you repose safely at home because of their presence on that battlefield. Give, bo that these soldier boys may get the Red Cross help. Give, so that they may be healed and brought back to you. Give, for the sake of your country and your home!

-NOW SHARPER THAN A SERPENT'S TOOTH." Resistance to the draft is no new thing in this country- In, 1863 there were plottings and riotings. The difference between what took place then and what is taking place now lies in the origin of the attempt to hamper the government- The anti-draft conspirators of the civil war period were, to a man, political opponents of the Lincoln administration. With oathbound societies and with other agencies more open, the democratic party sought to prevent the use of the north's man power to preserve the Union. Today no republican, openly or secretly, is engaged in trying to thwart the administration in its plans for carrying on the war- Nor is it likely that any democrats are so employed. The opposition to the registration and the draft proceeds almost entirely from the group of related political beliefs which are genericaily included in the term socialist. Of these the mof-t active are the I. W. W. Against the socialist and the I. W. W. the republican party has always sternly set its face- The democrats, on the other hand, have frequently given aid and comfort to both- They have not hesitated, to appropriate socialistic ideas and to frame them into legislation. Democratic senators have stood up in congress to speak for the I. W. W- We hope theynow begin to realize' the folly of .coddling a brood of vipers, who will steal warmth from a friendly bosom in order to attain vitality to sting a benefactor.

General Sir Douglas Haig (left) and M. Painlere. So thoroughly organized and equipped has the British army in France become that the Germans now regard the British as their most dangerous foe on land as well as on the sea. Much of the credit for this state of affairs belongs to General Sir Douglas Haig, commander of the British forces in France. This photograph was taken recently at General Haig's headquarters on the occasion of a visit from M. Painleve. France's new minister of war.

SOLDIERS EXTRAORDINARY. i . "Back in the hills, I saw an old granny-woman and her daughter and daughter's two half-grown daughters ' all at work in a field that they had literally wrested from the mountain wilderness. On inquiry, I learned that the younger woman's husband was dead," says Hapsburg Liebe"We're a doin all we can, shore," the granriy-woman told me, "acause there's a goin' to be war. I went through wi' one war, sonny, and I know that men folks cain't do much good a flghtin on a' empty stummick. Acause the belly and. the heart, sonny, is cloater akin than most o' folks knows." Amen and Amen, say I. And again. Amen! I've been in the trenches, and I've fought on an empty stomach, and I tell you I know. A few mileB further on, I saw the wife of a railroad section foreman cultivating a part of the railroad's right cf way. And less than two miles from that point, I came upon a remarkably pretty 15-year-old girl plowing off furrows for corn. Now listen! She didn't ha'e on Star-Spangled-Banner hosiery, and she didn't have an American flag tied to her mule's head, and she didn't have a small metal edition of Old Glory pinned to her anywhere but she was pfowing for corn. Get me? She was a soldier in her trench, doing her bit Aye, nobly -doing her bit. "We'll need it," she tpld me- "The's a goin' to be war. It's all right to trust in the Lord," she went on, quoting from the inscription on the monument to King's Mountain Men, "but it's also a good thing to keep the gunpowder dry." , "Trust in the Lord, and keep the- powder dry " is a good motto for any nation. When I think of women doing their bit in times of "ar, I like to "think of them as Gods Brigade. And God's Brigade it certainly is. It is this that makes war so insufferable; for the shadow of the sword is always a cross, always a cross, and it always falls heaviest on the hearts of women." MIRRORS. Not human nature, fragile as it is, but mirrors, bind the soul to this cras3 and earthy sphere. Ina land without "mirrors all men might be what tthey wish. All brows would be high and noble, all chins an index of strong character, all heads noble domes of wisdom. In a land cluttered with mirrora no such luck is possible. The domestic mirror is a lesser offender- It' can be tamed and subduedIt can be manipulated in ajrd out of the shadows and made to wihsper soft and soothing lies to even a baldheaded man of 50- At worst it can be located and avoided by instinct. But what can be said of the bold and glaring mirrors that line restaurant walls, hotel lobbies and 'department store elevators? They whisper no seductive lies; thev shout aloud pleasant and unpleasant truths: "Look at the beautiful women!" "Ha! Here's a homely mutt!" "Have a look at the scrawny old maid!" Look at this sawed off, baldheaded runt! What a sight'" 1 No 'human soul can soar before a restaurant mirror. It takes the joy out of life.

EVEN digged down into the baby's bank to make up the house's quota to the Liberty loan. WE damn the Prussian nobility, but don't utter a protest about the coal barons to be found right, here in Indianny. FULL realization of the horrors of this awful strife will come when the war nightie fashions are announced. AT that no one is objecting to the existence of bloated liberty bond holders.

"WHAT goes up must come down." Wheat went up and it came down, and bread also went up with wheat and it's still up. Giddap! The bakers and flour makers are hard working patriots.
