A compact item notes 722 Massachusetts Street and mentions a single property owner who has remained safe in Russia this year. It also refers to Jay House a wheeze expert in the Second Thought-column of the Capital and hints at new military correspondents reporting army rules noses being modified to mimic a wheeze as camouflage.
A war era column stresses civilians bear the burden of freedom and must supply food, equipment, and money to sustain the army. It notes the army sets duties while civilians lack organized guidance and must endure hardships as the nation fights Germany. Water ad and local notices follow with names and places including Kansas City, Excelsior Springs, and Washington, D. C. assignments.
The piece argues that public opinion favors organized labor when justice for Mooney is clear. It warns that placating the I W W and Bolshevism would bolster their activities, weaken democracy, and threaten Americanism during and after the war.
The speaker challenges the idea that the government can set prices and conscript workers while occupying Washington. If such commandeering were possible, could Germany pay high rents for homes in the capital if its troops occupied it? The remark casts doubt on the practicality of housing government staff via expropriation during war.
Dispatches report an American vessel did not sink after funnels were shot away by a submarine. The mock remark suggests a reporter imagines ships sailing with keels in the air and funnels under water to drain the vessel.
The text argues that victory requires achievements before allies can proceed, listing Prohibition in England and the United States, Woman Suffrage in England, National Woman Suffrage, and Home Rule in Ireland. It asserts that without these, fighting for world wide democracy remains an empty phrase.
The New York Times urges Irishmen to demand justice without seeking privilege and to join the fight for freedom. It argues that aid from America requires Ireland to help now, warning that aligning with Germany would invite tyranny and defeat. Signs emerge that Irish citizens hear such blunt counsel at home and consider home rule with conscription as a united path.
Brought from a period column, the item mixes quips about the war and daily notices. Mentions include Huns on a planned attack, General Von Hindenburg, Cupid as French ally, and references to transport fare debates. Small items note visits to Kansas City, travel to Texas, and local businesses like Logan Moore Lumber and Parker's fountain pens.
The Liberty Garden card may soon be as common as the Food Conservation card for premises cultivating a supervised Liberty Garden. The program aims to reduce waste by offering expert advice to gardeners who sign the Garden Pledge and display the card, with record cards aiding self evaluation and season surveys.
