WHAT'S THE ODDS?

' The statement is made by the Washington Post that property to the estimated value of $17,000,000 has been stolen from the railroads since the government took control. Which reminds ua of the defense put up by a politician who was accused of larceny. He said he had nover stolen from anyone except an Indian and the government, neither of which he considered a crime.

LOTS OF PLACES TO VISIT. "During the Interview of youns Count von Moltke, a nephew of the former German chief of staff, was standing in a corner of the kommandantur. He was called over by his superior and seemed terribly depressed. "What are we coming to?" he exclaimed. Both he and his superior talked in tones of . greatest bitterness. "It was Von Macken-aen'a fault," declared Moltke. "He would not fight the English. If he had come to the western front in Match the Germans would have taken Amiens and the channel ports and the war would have been over. But Von Mackensen refused." Von Moltke is an Oxford man and speaks excellent English. He concluded by asking In tones of deepest despair: ""Where can Germans visit now? We cannot po to France, Belgium or America, for they will not have us." Oh, be not so downhearted! There are lots of places Germans can visit. There is the eandy desert of Arabia where hundreds of thousands of martyred Armenians lie rotting in the sand as a result of German influence in Turkey. There is the bottom of the ocean where the hulks of torpedoed shipping house grinning skeletons. There are the icy wastes of the south pole where the Antarctic blizzards blow twelve months in the year cold ns a Junker's heart. Why not go to Austria or Bulgaria or Turkey where U t; warmest kind of a welcome would be accorded them. Tten there are the kindly, hospitable Bolsheviki. They would be tickled to death to entertain their honest German admirers. If not these, they might call on Satan. He bs a hot pitchfork ready.

tffcCE IS ENOUGH. Because William Hohenzollern put it over on uf iD tfu diplomatic correspondence of 1914-16, he though' he cofld do it again In 191S. But the people of the coun try ar talcing more interest in diplomatic affairs thsr hey jid then, and they won't stand for any more sacr' flee of national honor.

NOW UNMUZZLE THE PRESS! "vplth the end of the war should vanish every excu fcr tit unconstitutional muzzling of the press to whfc' the country with amazing patience has now so long sub mitted. There is no longer danger of news leakage that might be of informative value to the enemy. He is not in a position to make use of it if he had it. There is no longer danger of treason preachments. They would be perilous only to those who were fools enough to uttei them. The only conceivable purpose for continued gagging of the press might perhaps lie in the political exigencies of the party in control of the administration. How far force of habit may lead those in authority in Washington along that line of endeavor remains to be seen.

Clearly it is a broad road just now very far from safe ?or the particular brand of democracy involved. The administration's policy of free press suppres Ion has been so gradual and, in some instances, so tdroitly imposed that the general public has ndt fully . ealized what an alarming growth this most hateful form f autocracy has become. In an article in the last number of the North American Review Mr. Richard Barry presents the matter in a plain narration of fact which is startling. He clearly shows that, all but unconscious ly to ourselves, we have grown into a timid acceptance of a form of coercion utterly at variance with all oui traditions arid convictions. By citation of specific cases in point he demonstrates that under strained applications of the espionage act, the supervision of military cen sors, the direct orders of the war Industries board, and the adroit manipulations of the politicalmaster general, the great masses of the American people find themselves about as effectually barred from full, free, unsupervised access to the news of the day and uncensored interpre live comment thereon as Potsdam itself might desire For an institution which alone haa made the sue cess of this war possible the press has certainly been hamstrung long enough. We have in mind how the New York Times was suppressed because it printed the details of how $360,000,000 was squandered in the disgraceful aircraft scandal. The Christian Science Moni tor published it and was denied publication for three days. The Detroit News was also a victim. Republi can newspapers in Maine were threatened with suppres sion because they urged the selection of republicans for democrats. There was the postal zone rate law, a blov U metropolitan newspapers. Then the newspaper x changes were cut off. Then no new newspapers were permitted to start. The Butte Bulletin, which tried tc thange from a weekly to a daily, was threatened. Then newspapers which printed a half column too much news a day were threatened with having theit news print cut off despite the fact that much of their excess was used to further the Fourth Liberty Loan and the United War drive and other war activities. The Times was the recipient of this order. And while all this was being done on the plea of conservation of print paper, declares the North American

Review, thousands of tons of such paper was pouring 1

into the waste paper baskets of the country from the con tinuous-performance output of creel slush and cree! creels. And In the meantime the politicalmaster general in August last, had taken over full charge of the tele graphic news service wires that he might, as he said "provide the press with the most efficient wire fac'U ties under government centrol." And he did it. Th''governmept control" we have italicized tells the whoV story. The politicalmaster general can now supervise every item of wire news, exptditing that which meethis political approval and sidetracking that wh'C- -!rnt tend to make the world unsafe for democrat? ADJUSTMENT MUST COME. Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of La bcr. Is reported to have declared in a speech Saturday night aht the high wages Incident to the war must not be reduced when peace comes. Peace will probably take care of her own problems regardless of Mr. Gompers or any of the rest of us, but of one thing we may be sure. If the high wages paid in certain favored industries are not to be lowered, the wages paid p certain other industries will have to be increased very radically. The great ground for complaint today, and the Just ground, is the disparitw in wages. Men doing skilled work in certain industries are actually paid less than unskilled labor in other industries, while even in these high paid industries there are glaring and grotesque inequalities that simply shriek for readjustment. Ask any of the more intelligent men connected with our railways concerning these Inequalities and hear what they have to say. No one who Is conversant with the labor situation as its exists in this country will deny that it is chaotic and unsettled, and that there are conditions which from the very nature of things will have to be changed. Some men are being overpaid and a great majority of others underpaid according to the present standard of living. It is easy enough to say that the simple thing to do would be to raise everybody, and it would be simple simple to the degree of idiocy. If every worker were paid ten dollars a day hi3 ten dollars would buy no more than the average wage will buy today. Commodities fix the value of money rather than money fixing the value of commodities. It Is well to get a firm grip on this great truth, for it Is one we shall need to understand pretty thoroughly for the next few years. Fort Wayne News.

WELL TO GO SLOW. There are some things the government can do too quickly to suit the people, but it should be mighty slow about doing some other things. The South Bend Tribune eays that the sudden cancellation of draft calls on direct orders of the president it the same hour that his speech was being made announcing the terms of the armistice indicates that something has happened again in the inner circles in Washington. It seemed to take no consideration whatever of 'he demobilisation plans worked out months ago by the irmy general staff and presumably founded on the cheme which the British have adopted. To say the last, the hasty recall of men already entrained and their discharge from the army before we know whether the Germans have a government whjch can live up to the term3 of the armistice, is a little premature. Most of the men thus recalled and discharged are volunteers and more than willing to serve even under quasi warlike conditions. This idea of throwing away a great military establishment in harry should be used with caution. The war is not over until the peace treaty is signed. There's many a slip between an armistice and conclusive peace.

The entire force at Camp Sherman, between 25.000 and -6,000 men, will march in a farewell procession. The review has been planned by the military authorities to give relatives and friends an opportunity to see the men in line and give them a rousing 'send-off.' The troops will be reviewed by General Smith and his entire staff. The first of the 12.000 men to be discharged from the army will leave Camp Sherman for their homes next Saturday. Seven days will be required to comprete the first movement. Special trains will carry most of the men to their homes, while others will take regular trains or traction cars.

Before or After Influenza BY LEE HERBERT SMITH, M. D.

These minute frerms enter the body thru nose, throat and lungs,' and the first symptoms develop in from two to four days. It ia important to practise personal cleanliness a clean skin, mouth and nose, clean bowels. Avoid the person who coughs and sneezes. Sleep well, eat well, play well. Drink plenty of water, hot or cold lemonade. Then keep the bowels active. Every other day take castor oil, or a purgative made of Mayapple, leaves of aloe, jalap, and and rolled into a tiny, sagarcoated pill, sold by druggist aa Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

In the attack of Influenza nature's effort to remove the poisons from the body often results in inflammation of the kidneys, and so It is well to help nature's effort by inducing perspiration, with hot lemonade and hot mustard foot-baths, and hot water bottles. Obtain of your druggist a kidney and backache remedy, known as "Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These help flush the bladder, kidneys, and tbe Intestines, and act as an antiseptic, and if taken either before, ot during the attack lessen the pain and the danger to the kidneys. When the attack is over and it "leaves yon in a weakened, pale, anemic condition, it would be well to obtain an iron tonic at the dreg store. A trood one is " Iron tic " Tablets, or if you prefer an herbal tonic, a good one is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made from wild roots and barks of forest trees, and without alcohol. For those past middle life, for those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation, as backache, scalding " water," or if uric acid in th blood v has caused rhumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness, get Anoxic at the drug: store, or send Dr. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., 10 cents for trial package of An uric, which you will find many times more potent than lithia and eliminates nrit acid as hot tea melts sugar. A short trial will convince you.
