Hng-rty. 1ILK on thi: iioKiions. That old pipe dream of battles in the air with which preceding generations exercised their imaginations Is no longer a pipe dream. The dream has come true. Early in the present war a French aeroplane wrecked a German Zeppelin and now France la preparing armored airships to protect Paris from aerial assaults. The suggestion is spectacular, thrilling. looping the loop, volplaning, spirals, flying upside down and other stunts performed by professional aviators for the entertainment of the public appear tame ny comparison. Iyet us imagine th scrutiny, the maneuvering, the attack, the night or the fall. The forces engaged are small, but the results vital. A city or a fort is to be saved from destruction or rendered defenseless in less time than it takes to record the thought. The live? f combatants and non-combatants, women and children, hang in the balance. On the efficiency of the Meet mailing above their heads depends their protection. The elements are now all engaged In the business of warfare, the earth, the water, the air give coigues of advantage, and the torch carries de struction. It is useless to lift the hands in horror, to protest and plead in the name of humanity against the barbarous aerial bomb. It has come to stay until war ceat.es. and perhaps it should he welcomed, since with bombs falling from the air upon defenseless heads war will sooner cease. Add horror upon horror, add savagery to barbarity that the world may grow sick of war. The more sanguinary and destructive it is made the sooner mankind will be brought to its senses and made to realize the awful cost of violence. War must be "hoist by its own petard." It must b made so revolt ig that men will shrink ffom it rather than "seek It. POOR BAIT FOlt IUTLI, MOOSE. If you would have proof infallible that the progressives are not returning to the republican party you should have attended the district convention of the republicans yesterdayand helped swell the crowd. The way the convention was conducted, advance cut-and-dried by the old stand-pat manipulators, and then rushed through without even regarding the legitimate formalities, is all the evidence one needs that there was none of the old spirit of "insurgency" present, such as finally put the party on the rocks, and seems bidding fair to keep it there. And furthermore, following the address of the principal speaker, say nothing. of the talks of the permanent chairman, the nominating orator, or the convention nominee, all of like tone a progressive would most surely need to be as putty, and desert every progressive ideal that he ever entertained, in order to return to the republican party and stay. Standpatism was as much the keynote" of the "key-note speech" as could deliberately have been devised. Progressives. whether of the bull moose or democratic school. re alike given to undeistand that all tho?e things that they stand for as making them progress e "are mere efTrvescense." and of our.e. ought to b discarded for the good obi republican way-of d"ing things. Perhaps the bull moo,. progressive ran find in ueh an invitation an inducement to give up h;s progressivism, but if he shouid. the quality of j f.icli progressiv ism could not well escape being in doubt. It come very near answering the tlon as to how much of the pr- grestive party movement really was a matter of principle, and how much, political pique. It is gratifying that so many progressives attended the convention and Ji.-tened to what thse prize orators had to j.ay. It is resretabl that thre wrre not more of thm.

The German appeal for American justice and sympathy is worthy of the most thoughtful consideration. It comes from a nation professing the deepest friendship for one which it feels has give.- it just cause for feeling aggrieved. , The American people are reproached, rather than accused, for having accepted distorted and unjust explanations of the causes of the war without waiting to hear the other side and of permitting an enemy of Germany to prejudice and poison their minds. The blame is laid upon England, who first cut the German cables, forcing the news to come to the United States through Englieh and French sources and censorship, but Germany cannot quite understand the attitude of the American mind which is usually open and fair. It cannot be denied that the impression that Germany was responsible for the war gained early credence in the United States and that until this protest and appeal for fairness came from Germany nothing had occurred to disturn it. The press and the people have been quite unanimous in placing the whole responsibility and only Pres. Wilson's message of caution served to check the flow of expression. We should be ready to admit that we have been too ready to accept the English and French versions of the trouble and that we have been presumptive in assuming that we were capable at this distance of correctly analyzing and interpreting perhaps the most complex International situation in the history of the world. Our love cf peace and our indignation and disgust that the world should be plunged into war at a time when universal peace was a universal topic doubtless led us to be too impulsive in forming an opinion. It Is our business, of yourse. This war is a world's business. It is no local affair to blow orer in a month or a year and leave some small part of the international family an object of pity and charity. None of the nations of the earth can escape the effects of this awful conflict. Hut we are a neutral power and we wish to remain neutral. We can. do that only by being fair, so let us be fair and reserve our opinions until we are better informed. Till: STUAIGIIT AM) NAKIIOW. One by one the difficulties in the way of preserving American neutrality are disappearing. New ones arise, but the firm resolve of the government to avoid all complications, to steer a straight course and treat all the warring nations fairly is being carried out. The United States has neither friends to favor nor enemies to punish. All of the nations involved in the European war are friendly to the United States and the United States is friendly to all. That is a proud thing to say. It can be said by few other nations, particularly at this time, and rarely by any. The United States has no entangling alliances, except those assumed through the operation of the Monroe doctrine. It has no jealous. covetous neighbor standenvious or mg at its ooruers ready to step across on the slightest provocation. Providence has been very kind to us.

If this European tangle could be submitted to a committee of about a dozen American women they would hae everybody talking about something else in fifteen minutes. Parcels post as a medium between producer and consumer is expected to reduce the high cost of living by making it possible for the farmer to mail his products to the consumer. Germany and England have agreed that wireless messages may be sent from the United States to all warring countries if censored by this government. That is diplomacy. kSonie correspondent fittingly expressed the situation in Europe by saying that England will spend her last penny and that Germany will shed her last drop of blood.

Of course, the editors have got to write about something, so they write about the war and some of it is read.

Heer is sure to continue to go down whether a war tax is levied or not. Writing The News By Fred C. Kelly William Atherton Du Washington writer noted. Puy is a among his acquaintances for the wide variety of his information. p.ut there was a time in Du Puy s life when he had a great deal less knowledge of things than he has today and this is particularly true In regard to aquatics. He was raised on the desert out Arizona way, and up to the time he went into a New York newspaper office some years ago. to ask for a job, he had never seen a large body of water or any kind of water craft not even a row boat. Du Puy had been tipped off, however, that it is unwise to expose one's ignorance when trying to land a jol. "If you get a chance." a friend told him. "and the man sends you out anywhere, don't stop to ask him how to get there. Just act as if you know all about it." - The city editor explained that his staff was filled and that there was nothing doing. Du Puy was slowly and sadly single-footing toward the door when the city editor got a telephone message about a reporter being ill. and he called Du Puy back. "Do you suppose you could write the account of the yacht races at Sheepshead bay?" the man asked. "1 don'i know why I couldn't," replied Du Puy with gay nonchalance. "Well. then, get right out there." directed the city editor. "Our man who was assigned to that has been taken sick. "You'll have to hurry." And as he snapped his watch shut he returned to the papers on his desk. So without asking further questions. Du Puy went down the elevator to go to iieepshead bay. Now there were a few little items that he did not just know about the yacht races at Sheepshead bay. He wondered, for one thing, what state of the Union Sheepshead bay might be in. Was it near New York or was he to take a train and ride for a day or so to reach the scene in time? And I " nat " yacht anyhow ? Was it battleship or was race was between He had heard of a oig Moat liKe a it ah. maybe the two college crews; college boat races. The first thing, though, was to learn how to reach Sheepshead bay. Du Puy learned that it was done by means of a series of elevated lines. That may sound simple and triv ial enough unless you pause to consider that he had never yet ridden on an elevated line and didn't know what people were talking about when they told him to take an "L" train. He actually wondered if it could be a further abbreviation of L. A N. At last, though, he found himself on

a sad-evrd litt'e wharf that jutted out int the waters of Sheepshead bay. It wai his first view of water in one of

Hohhes. FIFTEEN years ago a disciple of Fr. Kneipp. the water cure specialist, gave the following advice to mothers: "Put your children to bed at 7 o'clock. Twice or three times a week wake them up at 10 o'c lock and put them into cold water and then again into bed. Their sleep." said the Kneipp desciple, "will be much better afterward. But by all means put them to bed at 7." AS far as our investigation has proceeded no mother hus dipped her baby in cold water at 10 o'clock and very few put their children to bed at . HAD Fr. Kneipp's reputation as a water cure specialist rested on the taking of the above advice we fear it -would have suffered, but It did not so rest. Fr. Kneipp was the man who had people wading barefoot in the dew, and it is said they received some benefit. At least they went to bed with clean feet.

A Christian Spirit Prevailed. (Cor. Iafayette Journal.) George Christian and family and William Christian and family attended the Christian reunion at Grandma Christian's in Otterbein Tuesday. THIS time they come right nut and say they are going to tax our habits i the larger sizes, and he felt rather helpless. Off across the bay, he learned, were the yachts that wert to race. How was he to tell from looking at a number f ships across the troubled waters how to describe the race? Did one write about the way a ship acted on the back stretch, or how it nosed its way out by half a length, or what was one to say? Where could one buy a score card showing the names of the boats and the numbers of the drivers? And how was one to get close enough to see what was going on? A man came chug-chugging along in a motor boat and paused for a moment at the little wharf where Du Puy was standing. Du Puy engaged him in conversation. "Oli. you're the yachting editor of one of the papers?" asked the motor boat man. joyously, for he was glad to meet so important a person. "Yes," answered Du Puy. modestly. ; So the man insisted on taking him over to the point where they could see the races, just for the honor of the thing. "I'd just like to get your opinion as an expert on the lines of that Saucy Sally boat." e.xpleined the enthusiast. "I've got a little money up on her." Du Puy made up his mind that he would be noncommittal and try hi. best not te expose his comparative ignorance of things nautical. He tried to recall some of the terms lm had read in sea stories when lie was a small lad. but only two came to him. One was "shiver my timbers" WHAT THE A BIG PIlX i: or FOOLERY. The fathers of the American constitution evidently knew what they were about when they specified in our great national charter that American presidents should not accept gifts and decorations from foreign nations. How puerile, and nonsensical and unbefitting the gravity of the situation in which Europe is now plunged to find the kings and emperors and warlords of Europe tearing off the medals with which they have decorated one another and casting them to earth in a tit of theatrical petulance.

Public Opinion is Only Food Price Remedy

BV C.ILSON W AS 1 1 1 NGTON. GAHDNEH. .ept. 2. Public opinion is the only remedy which can be applied to the advance in food prices. This is the conclusion really held by Secy. Itedlield of the department of commerce. "Redfield is prepared to cooperate with all the other departments and officials in applying legal remedies, if there are any, to check the higher price movement. He is convinced, however, that there is a legitimate, or at least an irresistable economic law which will boosi prices whether statutes like it or not. Secy. Redfield is willing 4o call the advance speculative, possible, but not necessarily artificial, or the result of a conspiracy in restraint of trade. The man who sees a future demand and holds his produc t to market it at the largest margin of profit in the future may be a speculator, but Mr. Redtield's business experience has taught him to believe that such a man is a successful business man. ArordinKly. th secretary of eomeree dares to suggest that the war abroad mean larger consumption of food products ami larger demand in the future for our food products, accentuated by a shortage of crop abroad and by the destruetiveness of armies in the field. The mere fact that there are at the present time no ships to carry food products abroad and therefore food products are in larger volume in the United States and must be for many weeks now, more than at any previous time, does not lead Seev. Redfield to conclude that there ought to be necessarily a slump in prices of these commodities, on the contrary, the secretary expects the demand to be so strong that oversea transit will soon be restore1. In fact, he ;s prepared to assume that ocean-going freights will be carried even ;t great ,-jsk i had because the products must be on the other side and if Great Britain loe-s . . it effectually clear the lanes of Atlantic travel, nevertheless ships of every variety will go into the business of blockade running. Heavy risks will be insure by pun harers of cargos and while some ships may be captured as prizes, a great majority will get by and land their cargoes. Thus the secretary is prepared to j predict a market fer grains, meats and even southern cotton in Great Rritain. France, and possibly even in Germany, for when cotton gets to Europe it will fine! its way in roundabout channels to the mills in Austria and Germany. The secretary of commerce is convinced that the- United States is scheduled for an era of high prices. The 1'nited States ci.nsiini'T must help pay the freight in this war.

Indies our Toledo age of some speculator and to th iisadvantage of the consumer. The consumer never speculates in f :tur s-. Capital is required to speculate in futures and the consumer has r.o capital. He merely has power of production and consumption. The principal reason why it the present moment food commodities are not moving between the United S;at s and Europe is the paralysis the credit system. War came so suddenly that all credit machinery between Europe and America broke down. T!i in Europe who wants a consignment of foodstuffs from America cannot order it because it is no longer possible for the man in America In draw on the man iti Europe nor fr the man in Europe to send a bill -f biding which will be good for a draft in New York. A conference was held last week at the treasury at which a cb'en r more financiers talked over plans to reestablish international credits in order that business between the continents might be resumed. Foreign bankers have been so hard presed by the demands of war for currency and gold that they have not been able to cash American demands in the form of checks and biters of credit issued by their American bank connections.
