Unsatisfactory War News

The reports of the great Europeon
war received by American news
papers are so conflicting that the
public scarcely knows what to dis
card. Of course there. is some
truth reported, but there is a con.
siderable amount Of the news which
has very little foundation in fact.
The allies send out reports of con
tlnual gains nearly every day. But
they appear to get nowhere. The
Germans, RuStrians and Turks also
report victories with less frequency
but insist that they are at least hold
ing their own-or all they have wen.
And so long as they are holding
foreign territory IN Frace, Belgium,
Russia or Servia, their claims have
the best appearance of fact.
la spite of this, however, there IS
D general belief among neutral OBJ
servers that If the war continues to
a definite end, the greater number
and resources of the allies will in
time wear down the German army,
which of course is the backbone Of
the opposition. How long this will
take experts differ. And perhaps
one Surmise is just as good as
another.
It is also possible that a truce of
some kind may be established at anv
time, followed by cessation of hostil-
tiles and eventual agreement to end
the war. Then will coma tie diff
cult task of settlement of territory
or payment of ~indemnitles.

The Auto EXPENSE

The papers and magazines are
again helng filed with glowing ac-
counts Of new tours, skies, and even
eight cylinder sutos We point to
Europe's expensive war and forget
the stupendous sum expended in
the u. s. for the gas wagon. Pre-.
ferable, of course, but it comes high
mot alone in the first cost, but IN
the time many men waste in PLAYING
with it. No knock on the auto
understand as ABE" or "Maur-
ess'' would say but like everything
else it has it's use-and abuse. With
most people the auto is for pleasure.
And it is a pleasure to glide over
the roads, but most people also have
TO make a living. With a level
headed man the novelty soon wears
nf--or the car wears out. With the
boy of sixtt en-, who is handed an
auto by an indulgent parent it re-
mains to be e what effect four
or five years of handling such a play
thing means to his future. Some
good, friendly. common sense talk
from pater goes a long way with
boYs-if its done right.
