CLAIM FOR EXEMPTION. George Sylvester VIereck, editor of the American Weekly, formerly known as the Fatherland, fca3 written to Governor Cox of Ohio and doubtless to other prominent and influential men asking him to use his influence to have exempted from foreign military service all Americans of German extraction, says the Indianapolis News. jn reply Governor Cox said: "We cannot recognize now of all times a division among the American people- Ail of us are Americans, and this i3 America's war, in which there can be no thought of individual desires. Our country must stand united or, broken into divisions, sentimental or otherwise, fall asunder- There should be now no German-Americans, French-Americana, Irish-Americans. RussoAmericans or any other class of half-Americans. Those who carSiot register as full United States Americans, citizens with only one loyalty, may declare themselves 83 alien enemies- There can be no half-way course."
GERMAN PROPAGANDA SINGULAR LY SILENT. It was expected that after we had declared war with Germany that there would be many outbreaks throughout the country. Of course Americans of German birth or descent, who are loyal to the United States, would not participate however much the kaiser would like them to so do, but it is pretty well established that Berlin had enough anti-Americans here to stir up trouble In various parts of the country. But now thing3 are singularly silent. In this connection there is an explanation from the London Chronicle that throws some light on the situation: . "For the moment she seems inactive in America; but the word has apparently gone to her people there to be on their best behavior, and the time for using them will come."
Perhaps It is because the German propaganda system is too busy try
ing to stir up trouble In Russia, or Ireland, or in Mexico, or the Scandinavian countries; or perhaps there is the need of optimistic propaganda at home- But whatever it Is we should not delude ourselves into the belief that kaiser agents In this country are sleeping . They are only waiting for the word to stir up trouble again- In fact, there is late evidence that they are at work this week, and the quieter they work the better they work for tthe kaiser-
NIX, HE DIDN'T.
The farmer at Valparaiso, Ind.. who hoarded his wheat for three years and sold It at a profit of about $2.75 a bus-hel, points the need of includfng In the food bill drastic punishment for the farmers who hoard. AVonder if he gave anything to the Red Cross South Bend Tribune.
The probability is that he was so sore because he didn't get more profit out of It that he decided he couldn't afford to give one cent to the Red Cross
or any other old cross.
THE PUXCTURE OF A HUMAN ZEP. When that shrinking little violet Mac Hoyne came out from Chicago to Gary to tell the women of Lake county what a vile and rotten county they were living In. his chauffeur should have taken him back to Chicago by way of Burnham so that he might see the hundred's of autos loaded with well, the class of people that Hoyne's city spews out in Indiana to visit the resorts across the state line- It is Hoyne's own Cook county that causes more work for the police of Hammond, Gary. East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Whiting twice over than all of the Indiana cities put together. Yet this monumental four-flusher, this human Zep, not getting the publicity in the Chicago newspapers that he thinks he is entitled to, comes over into Indiana: to get a little cheap notoriety by abusing the Invitation given him, only it didn't turn out the way Hoyne wanted it to turn out. They don't fall for him in Indiana like they do in the windy city.

THE trouble with a lot of people Is that they flirt with temptation Just to show how strong they are and wind up BY being shown how weak they are.
IS DECISIVE BATTLE OF WORLD WAR TO BE FOUGHT NEAR FIELD OF WATERLOO?

Black line shows supposed new German line to which Hmdenburg is retir-' ing. Broken line is present battle front. Dot-and-dash line shows frontier of France and Belgium. That the decisive battle of the world war is to be fought near the tistoric field of Waterloo in Belgium, is the opinion of sotie military critics. They point out that Hindenburg is very slowly retiring to the last German line outside of Germany -extending from the Antwerp intrenched eaznp to that of Namur. On this line during the last eiehteen months has been lavished every atom of Teutonic military engineering ingenuity.
war persists the harder will be the lot of the civilian population and those in refugee or internment camps. It stands fo reason that the human system, deprived of enough food, of sufficient fats, of necessary mineral matter, undergoes a change for the worst. Such a condition readily admits of the invasion of tuberculosis and kindred diseases. In the beginning of the war many counted as safe and happy those who were taken prisoners; it was conceded they no longer stood in the dangers of the battlefield. But it has since turned out that the chances of an active soldier are far superior than he who is carted away to face the rigors or a crowded camp in the Central empires or to the distant prisons of bleak Siberia,

WHAT IT lEANS TO BE A PRISONER OF WAR. A writer In an Eastern paper discusses the stories that Germany la deliberately inoculating 'prisoners of war to pet them off her hands.. Aside from the truth or falsity of the story it is more apt to be false no surprise need be occasioned if tuberculosis is causing widespread ravages In the internment camps of either Germany, Austria-Hungary or Russia. If the shortage of food is such that in nitrny localities there is a menacing absence of fats and even of brad, it is hardly probable that prisoners are faring very well. Certainly they would ome after the civilians, and if we are to believe the stories from the Central empires the restricted food diets is not only wearing -down the physiques of healthy civilians, but it ha3 been disastrous and deadly to children, invalids find old people. The longer the
GERMAN idea of higher civilization is a Zeppelin raid over a town where they can kill a lot of old people and children-
