Well, I suppose the fools in this
country, they think that Germany is
locked up with armies all around and
we have to tight Inside the circle and
can't get out Let 'em think It. Its a
good thing for us they should be so
fast asleep.
But Just the same you know and I
know that Germany is fighting the war
all over the world right here In this
country the war is and nobody knows
it, the way they act. .
Look here at the silly way to carry
on a war. JDo you suppose that in Ger
many anybody could publish a newa
paper where it says that the allies of
Germany are bad and that the enemy
Is really the friend? So crazy it is in
this country every day. All over the
United States the German language
newspapers are knocking England and
never a word against Germany. Really
they are boosting Germany in many
ways, besides, their readers already
are German in sentiment and every
word against England is a stab in the
back of this country's allies. It is fine
for us, you bet, but what I can't under
stand is how they get away with it so
easy. I guess Uncle Sam can't read
German, he is so Ignorant. Honest,
I better say dumm!
Yes, dumm, beacuse he can read
English papers and he does nothing
with the Irish papers here. They are
Just as strong for Germany as any Ger
man paper in this country and they
are printed in English!
Well, that's all part of the job our
job and its a lot better than blowing
up factories and railroads and such
things. Germany is smart, the smart
est in the world, and everybody that
reads a German-language paper knows
it and they know -that fighting a war
is not just guns and ammunition and
submarines and Blrshlps. We got oth-
er things too. We got secret service
but we don't need it. Nothing is se
cret in this dumm country. We say
what we please in our newspapers.
here, in German and English. We have
the Irish editors, the Pacifists, and
these now I. W. W.'s to help us. We

"S. O. 8." the now classic signal of
distress has come to, have a new
meaning. The government civil ser
vice commission is sending out an "S.
O. S." that is as strong as the state
lawa will permit, and It means "Short
of Stenographers," and has nothing to
do with mlzzen-masts and main-sails.
The government has plenty of
places tor typewriters and stenograph
ers In the field and clerical service at
from $900 to $1200 per annum. Short
hand is not a prerequisite to passing
some of the examinations.
Notice of examination for the posi
tions of junior land classifier and as
sistant land classifier, both of which
are for men only, has been received
here by W. B. Howell, local secretary
of the civil service commission.
The examinations for- junior land
classifier will determine who shall
fill vacancies in the geological survey
at entrance salaries ranging from
$1,080 to $1,200 a year with expenaes
when pn field duty. Positions requir
ing similar qualifications will be Oiled
from this examination, unless it Is
found in the interests of . the service
to fill any vacancy by reinstatement
transfer, or promotion. It ia esti
mated that from twenty-five to forty
appointments will be made In the near
future.
An insufficient number of eligibles
were obtained from the -examination
of May 16 and 17, 1917.
Appointees will be assigned to the
work of classification of lands in the
public-land states with special refer
ences to dry farming, raising forage
crops, stock raising, grazing, their
value for timber, and the possibility
of their Irrigation. The work will con
sist ot field Investigations and the
writing and review of the resulting
reports. The field of Investigation
will be In the more arid portions of
the western states, and in general the
necessary office work will be accom
plished In local western offices of the
survey. . '
The examinations for assistant land
classifier are to fill vacancies in the
geological survey, at entrance salaries
ranging from $1500 to $1800 a year,
with expenses when on field duty. It
is expected that from ten to fifteen
appointments will be made In the near
future.
Applicants In this territory should
