Kaiser in Losing Role.
The Germans were anxious to de
feat France and England and destroy
Italy before America made up its
mind to enter the war. They then
proposed to demand from the United
Slates a crushing indemnity on the
ground that this country had not
been entirely nnd strickly neutral
Any other claim that the Germans
might have made would have served
their purpose. It wa9 a race be
tween the Germa war machine
and American public opinion and
American public opinion won and
put this country into the war. Ger
many bad lost the first race.
The Germans massed all their re
sources in the spring of 1918 and
tried to destroy the Allies on -the
west front before the American
army could reach France The
Americans got there, more than a
million of them, and helped in
smashing the Crown Prince at the
Marne. The Huns had lost the se
cern I race.
There has been another race. be.
tween the submarines and the ship
builders. Slowly the ship yards of
America have been gaining on the
"tin fish" until the output of vessels
built is approximately equal to sub
marine sinkings. The Germans are
losing that race also.
The German government is about
to raise another war loan. In
America the Fourth Liberty Loan
will start on September 28. We
have to beat them with men, we
have to beat them with ship builders
and we are about to beat them in
raising money. Germany has en
tered on another losing race for '.he
dollar of America will outrun the
mark of the Germans.

The Missouri hound dog may be
the butt of ignorant wit in the East
and there is no doubt that he was
made the central figure in the most
inane song that ever issued from
the throat of a soused hillbilly, but,
just the same, when a Missouri man
goes away and finds that he needs a
dog that is good for something he
sends back home for Missouri
hounds Henry Belts, who manages
a ranch in South Dakota, is in.that
class, as bis advertisement in The
Armstrong Herald shows. He wants
three fighting hounds to deal with
the coyotes that are killig his pigs
and calves '
It is right, of course, but tree
lovers cannot restrain a moment of
heartsickness when they think of
what the Government is doing to
the walnut trees. In Green County,
according to The Springfield Leader,
there was an avenue of walnuts
about a quarter of a mile long lead
ing to the Crenshaw homestead
which, in Civil War times, was one
of the most attractive country resi
deuces in the county. The trees
were planted before the was but
more than 100 of them are being
sawed up to make aeroplane pro
pellers uqder the direction of Mr9
Fannie Crenshaw.
Big preparations are now being
made by the government to push
the sale of the 4ih Liberty Loan
bond issue. It will be the biggest
loan of them all and will require a
m uch greater sacrifice on the part of
the people.

THEATRE
Fight For Millions.
"A- Fight For Millions," Vita
graph's adventure serial, in itav
sweep across the country, has seized
the Middle We9t, where, despite
torrid wta'her, it is jamming the
atres mid smashing box-office rec
ords, according to letters received
at the Vitagraph Hime Office.
Of special appeal, it would appear
from the letters, are the remarkable
snow scene in which William Dun
can and his leading supporting
players, Edith Johnson and Joe
Ryan, and a troop of the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police pit the
ingenuity and bravery against their
outlaw enemies.
These letters from exhibitors also
show that "A Fight for Millions"
not only is establishing new records
in the larger playhouses, many of
which hitherto have been closed to
serials through a prejudice, which
Vitagraph serials have removed, but
also in the smallest towns, where
the showing of a chapter in the
serial is awaited and looked on as
a red letter event.
"All traffic stopped" was the ex
perience of W. R. Miller, or Iron
Mountain, Mich, manager of the
Colonial Theatre, the day he started
"A Fight for Millions." and his ex
perience is but characteristic, for
people who saw 'The Fighting
Trad" and ' Vengeance and the
Woman" have a way of stampeding
toward the name of Duncan in a
serial announcement.
William Seal, manager of the
Yale Theatre, Vinita. Oklahoma,
writes to say that "A Fight for Mil
lions" doubled his box office receipts
from the start and is going strong
er with each succeeding chapter.
