polite war. Indeed, it is a very ruuasy war and quite rough at times. And then the word "hell" is not now and never was profanity. The use of it ia not taking in vain the name of the Deity and its use in this instance so far from betokening irreverence merely indicated vigor. And the taking of Givray by the Americans was quite a igorous thins 'o do quite a great deal more vigorous a thing, indeed, than Flopping one's subscription or eating oueV. dinner t.- quarreling with one's wife or almost anything !:kf tb.t. It was pathetic to think that in a time of great public rejoicing like 'that day, with the heart of ever tru American beating proudly over the glorious achievements of his compatriots, there existed one little darkened soul whose thoughts were so on self and small things of life that he would have time to consider or care anything about a thing so small and nonsensical as "hell" anyway. Doubtless the same man condemns the memory of General Sherman for saying that "war is hell." For General Sherman was not always the politeest of men and he sometimes used strong language such as do all strong men under severe stress. But we could not help wondering what the man who canceled his subscription will do for reading matter if he b.-.rs si! the newspaper who used verbatim the Amer ican commander's report. We failed to notice any afternoon newspaper of the following date, except thoe that did not have wire reports, that failed to use the word?. Most of them also used the offending word in headlines.

THE TIME TO BUY HOMES. The following editorial from the- Fort W'avne News is just as applicable and even more so in the cities of the Calumet region: "To those persons who contemplate buying homes, it may be remarked in an advisory fashion that it will probably be many years before opportunities wiil be so favorable a they are at present. Real estate value? are now at nadir in this community and many real bargains can be had in almost any section of the city. House i that are new and houses that are old; houses that are large and houses that are small; houses with big lots and houses with small lots; ail sorts of houses in all sorts of places and all of them are cheaper than they will probably be for many years to come. We know well enough that when the war ends, and it may end yet this year, real estate values in this community will witnes a tremendous boom. This is not a munitions town and the moment peace is declared our several industries will ce simply f.ooded with orders. Hundreds and probably thousands of people will wing they- way here for employment and the demand upon the city's housing facilities will be tremendous. Nor can there then be building at any reasonable price, for the rehabilitation of devasted EJurope is going to exercise a demand for materials that will maintain a boom market the world over for a long time after hostilities are concluded. Those who are wise and who can possibly make arrangements to purchase Fort Wayne realty at present prices will do so. Bargains are offered now which six months hence mar not be. even viewed from afar off.'
GENERAL WOOD AGAIN! Leonard Wood stands for something in this country. He risked his uniform to preach preparedness up and down the land at a time, heaven knows, when tve needed to be preached to on that subject at a time when the democratic party was proud of our unprepared ness. The invaluable Flattsburg idea was the product of his intense enthusiasm. When he became too embarrassing he was reprimanded. When it could no longer be denied that he had been right all the time the war department's recognition of the fact was to transfer him to innocuous service in the south. He is indiscreet. Thank God he is! The truth will not stay in him. It bubbles forth and hurts like shrapnel. Ke a'tacks inefficiency nnd delay with a b'.esied and terrifying profanity. He is no respecter of sacred persons. When he returned from France he cast the truth upon congress and knocked in vain on the door of the White House. The atmosphere was charged with his indignation at the inertia he found and the contentment, there was in the midst of confusion, though Hindenburg's blow. -was about to fall onthe west front. He had seen and he knew. But what he knew the government did not wish to hear. The president declined to receive him. The senate military afiairs committee summoned him and he made the capitol corridors rinc. Then he was ordered before a medical examining board, which pronounced him fit. whereuprn 'he- w.r dep m'-rr. sen4 him away to Fort Riley to train the draft army of Kan sas, Missouri and Colorado. He had been unable to stir the government out of its complacency. It required ihe German offensive and a desperate outcry from the British to do that. We have moved more rapidly since. Genera! Wood may or may not b? the greatest military commander we have. Our military genius is yet potential. We can only be sure we have no more of it, actufl and potential, than v.e shall need. Genera! Wood has a fine, aggressive record. He is bigger than any task he has yet undertaken. Nobody know?, how much bigger he can be. Is that not reason enough why he should have the utmost development in active service? Or is that reason itself a disqualification in the eye of jealousy, asks the New York Tribune.

ABOUT POTATO BUGS.
Our old friend, the potato bug, has come back. One of the first things we can remember in our care-free, happy childhood is the potato bug. One was soft and red, wiria a small head, and a great paunch, lie "squashed" up deliciously when you rapped him between two small boards. The other one was a long, slim, swi't insect with a dark spotted back. Maybe the first one was the young bug. while the latter was the old one. We don't know. Any way, the soft red bug with the big belly was the one that seemed to do the most eating. His kind would strip a row of potato vines in no time, leaving nothing but the lower part of the stems. Our job was to take two paddles, arid mash these soft red ones. One pret'y active person in a quarter of an acre of potatoes, badly infested with buss, could mash the soft red things just about one-half as fast as they hatched. Pari3 green, made into a spray and thrown over the vines, would kill these bugs as dead as Hector's pup. But the idea, in the good old days, wasn't so much to get rid of the bugs as to see that a boy had something sensible and reasonably disagreeable to do. Lamar Democrat.
THE MAN VHO OBJECTED TO "HELL." The other day a man walked into the Muncie Press business office and asked to cancel his subscription to the newspaper. He was accommodated without question, but insisted upon explaining that he did so because in the news story of that day appeared the report of (he American commander whose forces had captured Givray, in which the commander said, "'Boohes turned tail and ran like hell, pursued by our troops." The man explained that he did not vrlsh to subscribe fr any newspaper that used "hell" in its columns. At first it was difficult to determine whether to laugh or feel sorry for the stransrer. but a little thought made it clear that only pity should be felt for one whose mind was in the condition that it could not understand that this commander's report was, in the first place, news, and mighty good news at that, and that it was the kind of news expressed in the v.-ay that warmed the cockles of loyal Americans' hearts everywhere on reading it. To be sure the commander might have said, "The Forbes turned tail and ran away," which would have been politer language, but we have to remember that this is not a
IT WOULDN'T FILL THE BILL. Tt is. sad but true that if the kaiser, hi3 sweet sons and von Hindenburg were all to be blown to kingdom come in the twinkling of cn eye. it probably would not affect the fortunes of Germany in this war a half-penny's worth. Many worthy persons have been heard to breathe the half-wish, half-prayer, "O, if somebody would oniy kill the kaiser!" Thus getting rid of the world's arch murderer would indeed be joyful news, but it would not be likely to have any serious effect in the matter of determining the outcome of the war,, says the Muncie Press. We are not fighting the kaiser nor his sons nor von Hindenburg nor any cf the rest of the precious crew except as incidental representatives of a system that is much deeper and bigger than they and that will exif after they have gone unless we destroy it now. In this great war we arcstriving for a principle that is a good principle, v.hlch is opposed by a great principle that is ;t bad principle. It Is primarily a struggle between Humanity and Brutality; between Right and Wrong; Civilization and Barbarism. And the deaths of individuals will not figure largely in results. To kill the kaiser would be like lopping off a branch of a tree. So long as the trunk was sound and
the roots were well nourished the tree would continue to grow. And just so long as the roots of Prussian militarism are well nourished and the body of the tree, represented by the German military par-y, i? alive, the system will continue to flourish. Yes, we have a much bigger job ahead than merely killing a few German leaders for we must conquer a people, which is vastly different, and we must destroy the greatest military machine of all time, which is an even greater task than the other.
