NINE-TENTHS RECOVER
On* of the best pieces of war news
wc ha\e had since we entered tin* war
conies from the American hospitals in
laris Those hospitals lately have
been tilled to overflowing with
wounded Yankees from the heavy
lighting at (’antigny and the Marne.
Tie* cheerfulness and exuberant opti
mism of the wounded man already
hax»* been noted with appreciation by
the American public. That, however,
is not the present point \Ye now
ha\e, added to that reassuring fact
the glad news that !♦«» per cent ot tin
men will recover.
This is apparent 1> an unparalleled
percentage of recoveries it is due
partly to the continued improvement
of surgical methods, partly to the
promptness with which the wounded
seldi»»rs were cared for, and partly to
th« new stvle of fighting. The last
factor is one that may be counted on
pretty steadily hereafter.
The war has been reverting to the
old fashioned open fighting There
has been less shelling, less dying help
b :»s!> in trenches. Men have met
abo\e ground as of old. and fought
with rifles, bayonets and machine
guns. Most of tiic wounds are said to
have been bullet wounds, which are
nine!) cleaner and more easily cared
for than shell wounds.
All these favorable conditions may
be expected to continue Our boys
will therefore, even when bearing the
brunt of tin battle, be safer than any
troops have been heretofore in this
war More of them will be able to
return to the front, and more will
come hack home when the war is
over. t
| THE TEST FOR OFFICE
"The common enemy demands ihe
united front no less in Washington
than in I’ieardy.” says the New York
V orld.
The importance of a completely
li .ol congress can not he too strongly
rnnhaslzod. An election is approach
i It behooves every congressman
t rcioemla-r that "polities is ad
\ timed.*' and every voter to s>-e tlt.it
"tho ••lections go to those who think
least of polities"
II Is true that the congress i lioseti
next tall may not have much to do
■with the war. because it will not meet
until a year later, and the war may
possibly he ended hv that time. Hut
t.o such assumption is safe. We do
not know how long the war will drag
on. Nor do we know what big tasks
will confront the next congress. II
the war does end It will be concerned
with the work of reconstruction, call
ing for no less pure Americanism that:
the conflict itself
The effect of the election, too. will
he felt Immediately. The choosing oi
none but loyal men, the rigid exclu
ston of all whose fealty to Amerlcar
ideals is doubtful, will be a death knel
to treasonable hopes and efforts II
will he equivalent to the winning o:
a battle. ,
Party counts this time not at all
There is only one party—the Amerl
can Loyalty In office should he rec
ognized. No disloyal congressmat
should be returned. No new men o
questionable sentiment should he sen
to Washington.
How may we tell whom to choose'
The League for National Unity offer?
a good test. It Is this:
"That candidate. In or out of con
gross, or that citizen, can be regardef
a? loyal who since the declaration oi
war has by word and act unreservedly
supported and will support the gov
Uncle Sam After the Profiteers
eminent in the vigorous prosecution
of the war to a complete and decisive
victory, and who lias not attempted1
to destroy allied unity and effort by
attacks upon nations fighting with us
against a common enemy.'

THE GREAT PUNISHMENT
German restaurants in this country
whose names formerly indicated their
Tei^onio character have nearly all
adopted new names. Otherwise they
would have been ruined by loss of
patronage German banks are drop
ping the "German" from ther titles,
to avoid loss of business. German
colleges and hospitals are doing like
wise, in order not to lose the hulk of
their financial support Kvon Ger
'man churches ;»:»• eliminating the of
tensive word
The adjective "German" has be
come a shibboleth It is used now as
it was in a crucial time of Israel's
history, to distinguish the loyal from
the disloyal, the "sheep' from the
"goats." The disfavor with which
the Teutonic fatherland is regarded
attaches to all things connected with
Germany or suggestive of it Our own
Teutonic citizens, formerly proud of
their origin, are now repudiating the
"German" and insiatiiy; that they are I
w holly "American."
It Is an amazing reversal Lately
nearly all things German were, by
that very fact, considered admirable.
Germany had the world, particularly
America, hypnotized. Now there is
complete disillusionment All things
German are In disrepute. The once
honored name is a by-word and u
hissing.
Germany’s reputation is gone. Love
for her is turned to hate, faith in her
is turned to utter disbelief, respect for
her is turned to loathing, admiration
for her is turned to contempt. No
where in the outer world has Ger
many a friend left. Nowhere in the
world are Germans welcomed or en
dured unless they renounce their Ger
maoism
That is Germany's real, lasting pun
ishment for Germany's crimes. It will
remain in force long after the war is
over, whatever the terms of settle
ment. It will be an eternal reproach
It is a just punishment for national
sin. as just as if imposed by God
himself. Perhaps it is God himself
who has imposed it

W ASHINGTON. July IK \ puli' ■
now eflective in American airplane
production Is that of supplementing
the spruce wood supply by using sc
levied timber of other more widely
distributed commercial varieties It
i said that exhaustive tests made by
tite forest service, followed by experi
ments in eonstructlon. have proved
that requisite qualifications ot
strength and lightness for airplane
building are possessed in varying tie
•re by other woods, notably while
pine, and that under orders of John
It. Ilyan, head of the aircraft board
use of them was inline l ately decided
It poll
It is not intended, the technical men
say. to displace the invaluable
hut somewhat inaccessible spruce
with the other woods, except in
making the fuselage, finishing the body
and building up sections of the struc
ture like the landing-struts, where III"
strains and stresses of progress
against air resistance do not center.
Spruce will still constitute the ma
terial for wing spurs, struts, between
planes and similar sections where
these stresses do center.
Airplane specifications have been
thoroughly overhauled in recent
weeks, it is also said, in an effort to
eliminate requirements of extraordi
nary structural strength and fineness
of muteriul in non strain bearing sec
tions, whether made of wood or of
metal, which has hampered produc
tion and raised problems of ruw mu
terlal supply which have been more
or less unsolvable, in view of the quan
tity of machines desired. Much of this
has only been possible because of the
building the past year, which has fur
nished an experience upon which to
develop innovations. A policy of of
ficial secrecy concerning all details of
the airplane program Is still in effect
