CAN'T GET AWAY WITH IT. It is pretty nearly impossible to pet by with anything unpatriotic these days, even it be as apparently innocent a thing as a red and black ribbon for a tally scorer at a card party. What this newspaper doesn't print -would make some people gasp for breath.

SWALLOWING AUSTRIA. It is believed in Italy that Austria's present plight Is largely due to a deliberate plot against her on the part of her senior partner in crime. According to this view, the ring of imperial freebooters in Berlin wanted Austria to get the very licking she has got. There were two motives, revenge and aggrandisement. The German kaiser wanted to get even with the Austrian kaiser for the latter's intrigue for a separate peace. The big consideration, however, was the possibility of gaining absolute control over Austria-Hungary-The resoning is assumed to have been about like this. Austria, encouraged or commanded to go ahead alone, and stake all her fortunes on one supreme effort to crush Italy, would be beaten a3 she has always been beaten without a "stiffening" of German troops. Left helpless, militarily and economically, threatened with invasion and revolution, she would be obliged to cll on Germany once more. And this time Germany would make her own terms, taking full advantage of her ally's desperate plight. Germany would hold back the Italians, restore order in the dual monarchy and reorganize the country economically at the price of complete domination. Practically, perhaps literally, there would thereafter be no moi Austria-Hungary. "Even ths boundaries." as Vice Chancellor Von Payer recently put it, might be done away with. Kaiser Karl might lose his throne; at best, he would become a vassal monarch with an empty title and a tinsel crown, head of another minor state of the German empire. Austria-Hungary would be another Russia, but swallowed whole instead of piecemeal. It sounds rather plausible. Germany is quite capable of such treachery to her "gallant ally." Events will tell. Half the chapter 5s already written; now we shall see whether the Austro-Hungarian empire proceeds to disintegrate according to program, and Germany rushes in with her plan of malevolent assimilation. There is one perilous factor, though, that Germany may not have taken into account. The reported program assumes that Germany can grab Austria with one hand and beat back the allies with the other. Suppose the allies Jump onto Germany like a thousand of brick while ehe Is busy engorging her paralyzed accomplice!

sacrifices have actually accomplished. It is information a pound of which -weighs more than a ton of programs, plans, specifications and promises, and giving such Information should in much larger degree enter into the war management's policy. A IV w such statements, brief and snappy, from th powers that be are of infinite more value than the tons of useless stuff that is littering up the mails. WHAT IS "NON-ESSENTIAL?" There is talk of withholding fuel from "non-essent ial" industries next winter and thus forcing them to close. It is to be hoped that our government will go cautiously in this "Nonessential'' is a very elastic term. The morale of ihe hard working and ambitious business man, who may hae made m,in sacrifices to start his business when war was unthought of, is perhaps worth not. shattering. Gladly he works overtime, night and day if necessary, and contributes cheerfully to bond. Red Cross and War Savings campaigns; uncomplainingly he sends his son 10 fight for that which is dearer than life itself. Hut for himself he demands his share in the big job, to keep his business going, his home fires burn ing, and his help with their weekly envelope. The problem of mining more coal and providing for its distribution must be tackled at its source ;n order to get rid of it. "We can't go on hedging and trying to smear a definite supply over an indefinite surface forever. Failure to do this row will be a poor excuse for shutting up shop next winter.

MILITARY NECESSITY ECOTH. The following press telecram is of more than ordinary interest : SACRAMENTO. CAL.. May 13. The appeal to President Wilson by Jam.'s (i. Scripps. newspaper publisher of San Diego, '!.. for deferred classification in the draft on the ground ;h; he was r-ni.-ac.-d in work of military necessity, lias been granu-d. according to a telegram received today by Governor William D. Stephens from Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder. Scripps applied for deferred (U-irsi-fication, but the exemption board denied th application and placed him in class 1. He appeiaed to the president, who ordered him placed m ciuss 4, division P. James G. Scripps is the son of a multimillionaire who owns a string of papers in Ohio and another string in Calforna. Both strings were pull-d for President Wilson in the campaign of lf16. No one ever heard of this young man Scripps taking an active part in ihe conduct of any of these papers until af-ej- the w.-.r began, when he suddenly ceased to he a plea sut e seeker and became quite devoted to business. However, no one considered him a. military necessity in this rapacity and the ,; xempton board promptly sat down on his attempt to dodge the draft by such a plea. Not even the menace of the Scripps papers was able to swerve the board members from the performance of their duty. So far as is known Jim Scripps is the only newspaper man in the United States to put up the "military necessity" plea to escape the draft, and lie last of all should resort to it. The Scripps papers are ail of them being managed and conducted by abl men and the whole of the Scripps tribe could pass out of existence tomorrow without in the least interfering with the business. However, it is interesting to learn that connection w-jth a newspaper puts one in the "military necessity" class. Fort Wayne News.

GOOD ARGUMENT FOR PROTECTION. America has an abundance of raw materials and it has disbursed those materials lavishly. At the same time large quantities of food have been sold abroad in the raw state, and thereby we have surrendered important benefits which were within easy reach. When rawmaterials are manufactured and when food is refined, the value of the finished product is materially increased. This increase goes in part to labor and in part is a return on the capita! employed. When these refined American products are sold abroad, all of the increase has been added to our national weaitb. From an agricultural point of view, therefore, our need is, first, to increase the amount of production; second, to eliminate all possible waste; and third, to refine the raw products of the. soil before they are sent to foreign consumers.

WILL THEY STAND FOR IT? During February and March our allies in Europe were starving to the point of licking the pla'ter. according to Food Director Hoover. In London, in March, there were alwayB 200,000 or more people in line waiting for a chance to get food supplies. In April the foods saved by Americans began reaching Europe in quantity. Says Mr. Iloover: "The fortunate thing is our food got over there just when the great epring offensive of the Germans got under way, and Just when the morale of the allied people was going down very fast. Our food paved the day and we never could have shipped the amounts wp did if it had not been for the enormous savings voluntarily effected by the American people. "The American housewife is holding the line by feeding our allies until we get an American army over there In force. If it had not been for her, the war would have been over." Of course this authoritative informition is startling and, of course, says the Indianapolis Times, we've &l got to go right on conserving food, but the point we want to make in respect of this matter is that it is authoritative -information as to what the people's savings and

COURTS AND COURTS. The decision of the Supreme court that the prohibition law is constitutional has led repeatedly to the comment on the part of the public that if the prohibition law is valid, so also was the woman's suffrage law. At least here is an interesting subject, for speculation, and one to which the suffrage workers doubtless will give much consideration, even if this consideration does not result in any public statements. The ways of courts are often past the comprehension of teople whose interest is justice and right, not legal gymnastics, and the more the people see of courts, even the very highest, in the land, the more they are convinced that they are nothing but. human after all. When so important, a law as the child labor law is knocked out and ail that it stands for by the l'. S. Supreme court, there i? no'hmg left for the layman to do but to scratch his head.
