where all could read and then watched to Fee their effect uron library patrons. A good many people paused to read Idly. They went on with thoughtful facs. Teachers copied the words to take to their classrooms. A French woman translated them back Into her own tongue. Pupils from the school read the lines and seemed to accept them as a personal message, from a fellow-pupil. Kver;,one who read the little quotation was touched. The warmth and glow of a more intimate Internationa! friendliness spread through the community from that Utile clipping on the library wall. Fiiendlinoss is spreading through the world, too. "ii'2at ocean can no longer separate nations that love ins! ice and lienor. Only the nation that has turned her hark on those things will rind herself fearfully remote and alone on her t-ide of the narrow stream.

Remember that the railroads are engaged with the urtfnt movement of troops and their supplies; that there Is unuj-.nl pressure in various parts of the country for food and fuel, that the railroads have more business than they can handle promptly. For that reason many trains are late. Thi Tisies has increased its mailing equipment and is cooperating in every way with the postofftce. department to expedite delivery. Even so. delays are jnevltabla because of the enormous demands upon the railroads and the withdrawal cf men from many lines of work.

CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. The day of reckoning for the brutal Hun and hip faithful henchmen, the Bulgar, the Turk and the Austrian, is at hand. American troops have at last entered the conflict in enough force to pound it into the ivory head of the Hun that he will have to pay the fiddler for four years' dancing. In the meantime we must not fail to give credit to our gallant allies, the French and British, whose millions of dead and wounded are silent attestation of what they have done to stem the Hun tide. The "Paris Midi" has sounded a no?e that should he heeded in this country. In an editorial under the caption "Let l's Never Forget the British Sailors" it pays honor where honor is da and reminds no' only France bur thQ rest of the world that the British navy has been the bulwark of the allies and of the neutral world in th great struggle against, the ruthlessness of autocracy. It says: Let us acclaim the American soldiers, hut never forget the British sailors, without whom Germany would continue to uner sarcastic remarks on the vain menace and fruitless effort of America, fhe already knows, and will know better tomorrow, all that this menace means. The day when the American army gain? the big successes to which we are looking forward, let us pay homage to th5 British sailors, those unseen and silent, conqueror?, who are guarding the seas for us. We should take that advice hone to ourselves when we are shouting loudly about our million men in France, says the Indianapolis Star. We alone are not entitled to ail the credit for the presence of Genera! Pershing and fcis soldiers on the west front. Had we nor. been operating behind the British navy, it is doubtful If we would have a single man in France. We probably would not have undertaken to send an army abroad, had not Britain kept the Germany navy bottled up in the Kiel canal. The United States is doing its share in the common cause but it is just as well to pause end realize thai we are not doing all that is done.

CUT AND STORE WOOD. Th? war is" making enormous additional demands for coal and fuel oil. The United States fuel administration will do its utmost to meet this demand; but to insure a full supply of fuel for next winter, the cutting and storage of wood is advised. There is an abundance of unrnined coal; the problem is getting it out of the ground, transported and dis tributed. Labor is short and will get shorter as the war pro-g:v--,'s. This makes mining and railroading difficult. As the number of troops we have across the water lri creases, the more will it be necessary to use the rail roads for their maintenance and equipment. Munitions and supplies must be moved to the Feaboard in ever increasing volume. Titer must be no let-up nothing can he allowed to interfere with this movement. The successful prosecution of the war is the present big business. It is necessary to get fuel to the big cities and industrial plants in its most compact form. They are the coal-burners of America. The wood-burners are the farmers and the residents of the small towns and villages where w-ood is nearby and can be delivered by the wagon load. This appeal is directed to you. Restore the old woodpile. Make it a part of the landscape as it was when you were a boy. Whet your ax file your saw--cut wood burn wood. PAW WOOD!

DEBATE WON'T REHABILITATE. Members of American Embassy Staff at Fetrograd or Volnoda, or wherever our diplomatic headquarters may now be located in Russia, are said to have come to Washington to urge that the United States set its face against Japanese intervention in Siberia. The argument is that the Russians hate Japan even more than they hate the Germans. That, It would seem to a man up a tree, is something for the Russians and the Japanese to settle for themselves. We, however, are allied with Japan; and we have heard it declared by no less em nent authority than the President himself that we ar going to stand by Russia. But we cannot stand by Ku sla through opposition to activity by the only one Allied Powers which is In position to do anything affirmatively helpful to Russia right now. Unles wo are prepared or are preparing to take action in Russia ourselves by sending thither our men to stern ie German advance as Japan purposes to do we cannot justly withhold oui assent by debate. In fact, too much debate has brought Russia where she is. The time has come, long since when definite action is necessary if Russia is to be made anything cf. not only for her own sake but for the Fake of the Allied nations who find themselves in this wa: because Russia stood by Siberia In 1314. If Japan 11 ready to act, why not let her go forward?

WE hope the United States government spares no pains to make the poison gas for the Huns as powerful as Is possible, for after smoking that synthetic tobacco provided for them by the kindly and paternal junkers those birds will be able to withstand most anything.

POLITICS AND WAR.

Politics will get very close to disloyalty those days unless watched, say3 an exchange, pertinently. If p'-:: is ever suspected of getting away from the war purpose it will meet with defeat. The public sentiment has Lu' one thing to do, and that is to crush the kaiser. All the old party purposes will go overlooked if insisted upon, and this remark applies to the Democratic party as well as to the Republicans. The fact that we have a Democratic administration should be no assistance to that party. No man should command the inside of the public service because he is on either side of the political fence, and those in high authority should see that this doctrine prevails. It is the only way to concentrate public sentiment in support of the war. Because a man is a Democrat or Republican is no reason why he Fhould be favored by an administration during these trying days. Every party that stands for the nation now should be entitled to recognition of national and state administrations. It is a sop to disloyalty not to do so.

MISS THEDA BARA, who has been sojourning in one of our p-ominent Calumet region cities for several days, is one of those girls who probably could have quite a lot of clothes on and still somehow or other leave the impression that she hardly had any.

AFTER enthroning the light of our hearthstone as queen it does seem sometimes as if w almost had a republic on the bolshevik! plan for our Lares and Penates when war beans appear on the table more than four times a week.

A correspondent wants to know "why not substitute the study of French for German in the public schools?'' Because the political bolsheviki want to cater to the. German vote for future use. Why try to camouflage the reason?

FROM thp amount of useless publicity matter that piles into this office every day we don't wonder that the railroads ar clogged and the farmers can't move their wheat.

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP. A French girl felt the beauty of the friendship two great countries for each other. She wrote about it, and her words found their way into a Red Cross bulletin, and finally a translation of them was posted in a con spicuous place in a public library. This is the translation: "There is a river In Franco .-o narrow that you can talk across it. Birds can fly over it with one sweep of their wings. Grvs.t armies are on either bank, but they are as far apart as the stars in the sky, as far as right and wrong. "There is a great ocean. It is so wide that g.-a guils cannot fly across it without rest. Upon either shore there are creat nations. They are so close that thenhearts touch."

FISH EAT 'EMSELVES TO DEATH! Presence of myrta-6s of dead fish along the coast of Xake Michigan In Whiting, Hammond, Indiana Harbor and Gary so profuse at places near the steel mills that workmen are clamoring- for gas masks Is explained tliuslyi Innumerable fish in ths lake are eating themselves to death. Health. Commissioner Botertson believes. He Ifave tills theory yesterday as the cause cf scores cf dead fish found on the lake shores during- the last two weeks. "The fish are thriving en vegetable growths in the because of the absence of other foods which In ordinary times find their way Into the water," he said. "This has cansed the fish to Buffer an unbalanced diet, resulting- In their death. I believe ths lake will soon clear itself of the tiead fish. Re asserted tests showed the water to be free of contamination. The fishy taste and odor of the water are blamable to dead fish, ho said.
