T.i PROFITEERS.
Hearty commendat ion will resound from all parts of the counrry for the government's prompt and vigorous action In dealing with conpira:or. seeking to make Illegal profits from war contracts. This is a kind of graft particularly despicable and is close enough to treason to call for the heaviest punishment th,-. government can !nf!!ct, as well as the unbounded contempt of every American for those who traffic in it. The country is responding willingly and loyally to every call of the government, for tiie men and the money to prosecute the war. It will not count the cost necessary to hring victory fo long as every dollar spt nt goes to the purpose intended. Put it will not tolerate the diversion of a penny to liria the pockets of profiteers. There is no creature so low pa the man who would rob his country at war. There could be no greater crime. To take unlawful profits under the guise of supplying the government with the essentials of war is exactly the same as treasonably removing the cartridge from the rifle with which a soldier is soing into battle. The man who would do the one would do the other. Apparency brokers have been trading on supposed influence v. ith 1t-r go?rrnient in order to persuade manufacturers to deal wth them, and the fees some of them have been charging are presumptive evidence of crookedBees. The country looks to the "War Department, the Department of Justice, all governments; agencies that must have to do with the spending of the'oillions being poured out by the American people, to servo etern notice by their action' in these cases that grafters will be deal: with without mercy. Pillions for war, let the word be, but not one cent for profiteers.
WASTE. AND TONS OF IT. The Indianapolis News joins ih'.a and other papers in loudly protesting against the horrible misuse of the mails and the shucking wafte of pap.f and ink bought about by ihe hundred and one kins of press matter nnt out from Washington that is absolutely useless. Frequent, complaint has been made that the mails are burdened with usobss press mailer tent out, by The numerous bureaus in Wafiiington. It. is doubiful if an auditorium could be found there larce enough for a convention of ihe press arr.ii now employed in the nation's
(seat or government. .vuist Ol inis pres uiiiifi is u;iu-
b-ss Io the newspapers and to the other places where it is sent. Yet there has been no reduction in volume. Some of the newspaper editors declare they have found a way make use cf lulletins they receive. They turn them over and write on the other tide. Put in numerous instances the mimeograph copies have been maJo in such manner that even the reverse side is worthless. b?cen'ly the editor and publisher Fought opinions from editors of leading publications, relative to the great mass of material being issued to the newspapers from Washington. Due editor says: "We have received from the government a pamphlet entitled 'Five Ways to Save Fuel."
rWe can name a sixth: Burn the document? the govern
ment keeps sending to your office.'" W. F. Wiley, managing editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, declares that "ihe waste of paper and printer's ink by the press agents retire: er ting the various bureaus, boards, divisions and comm.tiees at Washington is little short of criminal." Cf cour" "' t" indictmi '1 of bis 'bpr:"ter should he a blanket affair. There m puo'!";v aeius ington that start soniewhe. a &nd actually ioac'.. li ec pie. The department of agriculture has been sending out helpful mattef for many years and continues to do so. It is the new nef-ncies that are burdensome. Every new committer and every new division seems to think that the first tiling needed Is a press agent. A force of writers is assembled and the mails are asked to do the rest. No newspaper could print even a small portion of the matter mailed to it from Washington each day. And every press agent seems to feel that the nation will perish unless his particular stuff is printed on page cne.

MAJOR FOX'S TF3TIM0NY. The terrible barbarities practiced by Germans on British prisoners is one of the most awful things of '.he war and are detailed in ail their vileness from day to iay. The story unfolded recen'ly by Major Fox. a British prisoner of war escaped from Germany, in which he told with pimple directness of his expediences during thre years in German hands, and of the things which ho saw with his own eyes in the German prison camps and elsewhere, demands attention. A normal human being naturally shrinks from hearing of the things which Major Fox related to his audience at Newport, Eneland, because such things are not normal to humanity. He shrinks still more perhaps from discussing them. And yet just because they are not normal, the fact that thes outrages are being committed and all that this fact means is apt to he lost sisrht of. says the Chrbtian Science Monitor. With a vividness all the more remarkable because so largely unconscious, Major Fox showed, first of ail, Cue terrible shock with which the Pritish soldier, who would "gladly have called his f... noble," fojnd him out utterly Ignoble. The major toils how, in the course of the first battle of Ypres, and he and his men cap'ured some 200 prisoners together with ot'iicer.-; how he sympathized with the offiorrs, offered them refreshment, told their. It was "jolly hard luck" for them, and did all he could for them and their men; how a few hours afterwards he was-in German hands, and when he was brousht to the officer who was to have charge of him, this officer "turned and spat at him full in the face." That was the beginning of three jears of insults, suffering fnd degradation, days at a time in crowded, filthy cart!" trucks, without food or wafer, with interludes at wayside stations where women offered them food, and unatcned it away again on learning they were English. Then once in the camp, they were destined to be the daily helpless witnesses of outrages on common humanity the like of which the world has few records outside the annals of the Inquisition. Let. one case be taken, and its significance aptreciatod. Three clerks from Paris wre forced to work in ihe coal mines. Utterly inxj erienced and unfitted for the woik, at the end of a dsy of toil, their output, was too rmall and they were condemned to
FARMERETTE'S FEET. "Watch your feet!" a woman expert advises girls taking up farm work. "The most important part of a farmerette's uniform is her shoes, though you never hear them discussed. Don't ignore footwear. You have to have a good spinal column to keep up with a good job. The condition of the spinal column depends greatly upon the feet. Wear comfortable shoes, which don't throw your body out of balance. Pe picturesque if you wish, but be sensible." This means shoes long enouch and wide enough to give the feet plenty of room. It means so'es strong enough so that a pebble cannot be felt through the bottom, and tight enough so that, moisture will not soak through. It means uppers resistant enough not to be torn by briars. It means most, of all, a broad, low heel. "Frepch heels," it hardly Feems necessary, are not worn by French girls doing any kind of physical work. English women engaging .in war labor have adopted "a stout, unlovely boot" which suits the purpose admirably. American women must do likewise if they want to do the arduous work they are undertaking and at th sane preserve their health and the health of the rare. This advice applies to women in the city almost as much as women in the country. There is neither sense nor ufility nor health nor patriotism in moft of the women's shoes seen on the street. Civilians' feet, especially women's, are as important as soldier's feet. It is time to put her shoes on a war basis.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
In every home there is a sincere desire to do pomething to make life more endurable for the boys who are "over there." Remember that they are very much Interested in the doincs of the homo community and the people they know. Put. you can supplement your letters
i in a way that will be very gratifying to the boys if you
will send them kodak pictures of the family and of fcenes with which they are familiar. Take your kodak with you whenever possible and send the pictures to th boys who are abroad. Nothing will please them more than a sight of familiar fares and scenes of their childhood. It is a suetrestion that is worthy of your attention.
