EUROPEAN WAR AND ITS NEWS The attitude of-the War department gn news from abroad remains the same as when the first American troops reached London. It still clings to the notion that no names, except those of Geneul Pershing, General Seibert and one or two others, ahoulj be made public. ‘The rule, of course, will not apply to casualties. Hardly a day goes by that protests are not received. Newspapers are clamoring to get permission to send special representatives to the European. battlefields, but all applications are being turned down. General Pershing, so it is said at the War depnnment has requested that no more correspond- ents be permitted to g0 overseas unless “they represent preis associations. Dozen of newspapers have planned to send their own men abroad with the national guard and national army unit from their territories. Un- - 1less the present policy is changed not a man will be pemltted to go in this capacity. Applications for permision to go with the "mlnhow" division, made up of national guard troops from more than a score of states, have been' turned down flatly. One metropolitan newspaper whose chief competitor has at least two'staff men in France to greet t.hn ‘“Rrainbow’” when it arrives, has been told it is useless fufther to press its cl ms. In congressional circles it is predicted that the War department will be forced to change its policy once the national guard and national army divisions get into action. It is believed that the insistence of the “folks at home” for news of this boy and that boy will result in permission to send back l.h, personal news of the American overseas forces. __ NEW PARTY IS “SOME” PARTY That hew political party that has been launched is ceriainly a peach— and with the fuzz off. Yesterday’'s dispatches to the Pioneer told of & conference in New York of the aggregations which will be In_eluded in the outfit and a woman professor of Wellesley, a school for.daughters of high brow parents, makes-the assertion that the women of the country will cast their fortunes amith the new party. “amen.” N . The new_party should be a humdinger. It will have within its ranks ¥ the suffragettes, suffragists, si-gle taxers, prohibitionists, progressives and socialists. If you can beat that you’ll have to go some and it will be inter- esting to watch which-one of the parties will dominate the party. Other leaders of women are saying WHEATLESS AND MEATLESS Again the call for meatless and wheatless days is emphasized. As the seriousness of war problems force themselves in the minds of the people of Minnesota, we find them responding patriotically more and more each day to tle call te)do their “bit” in conserving the sfippllea of wheat and meat. The Commission of Public Safety urges that the people of Minnesota co- operate to the fullest extent with the Food Administration along these lines. It is likely that a procldmation setting aside a.certain day or days each week as a “‘wheatless and meatless” day will shortly be issued by A. ~ D. Wilson, who is now worklns out practical and feasible platis along sim- ilar lines. See by the St. Cloud Journal-Press that the dentists want a reserve corps of their own. ‘Now we will learn whether these dentists really have a pull. —8t.

Many, if not most, writers have had ¢ bewalil the occasional freakishness of the pen in putting down ¢n paper something very different from that in- the Westminster Gazette. Readers of Bir George Trevelyan’s “Life of Macau- . - lay” will recall the historian’s. horror when, too late, he discovered that ‘he had written in the Edinburgh Review that “it would be unjust to estimate Goldsmith by “The Viear of ‘Wake- fleld’ or Scott by “The Life of Na- |- poleon,” when he really intended to say that it would be unjust to estimate Goldsmith by his “History of Greece.” There was, too, an amusing slip of the pen perpetrated by the grave Sir Archi- bald Alisen in including Sir Peregrine Pickle ipstead of Sir Peregrine Malit- land among the pallbearers at the duke of Wellington’s funeral. Another striking instance of the pen . mechanically writing something not in- tended came under notice the other day on the title page of a reprint of a once famous book, Jane Porter’s “Scot- tish Chiefs.” This edition, published some years ago by a well-known Lon- don house, describes Miss Porter as “author of ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ ‘Sense and Sensibility,’ etc., etc!” Doubtless the Christian name of “Jane” induced the slip. All remember, and nearly all —Charlotte Bronte was one notable ex- ception—love Jane Austen; not so many remember Jane Purter.

Sheriff Frank Cushman says that if ae hadn’t a “nose like a hound” he would have dost two of his prisoners, says a Belfast (Me.) dispatch. He is Jailer as well-as sheriff, and in making the rounds of the jail he smelled fresh paint. He followed the scent to the cell occupled by Leroy CaPter, who is serving the last of a jail sentence be- fore beginning a two-year term in state prison for bréaking and entering. Car | ter and Winnie Crocker, sentenced for larceny, occupied the same cell, He found that the men had sawed | off a bar at the window and replaced it with a broom handle painted black, having found some paint in the 3jafl ¢orridor, and another bar was nearly sawed off.
