Editorial in philadelphia Press,
The growing belief that the armies
along the battle line that stretches
across France from the Swiss from
tier into Belgium are hopelessly dead
locked, and that the conflict must,
with the rapid approach of winter,
resolve itself into a grueling test of
endurance, brings into prominence
tire question of the comparative re-
sources of the belligerents. Can
Germany. with her worlds commerce
practically suspended, endure long
war? In the absence of victory or
defeat on the field of battle, how
long will Germany's internal re-
sources enable her to continue the
struggle?

A GREATER AMERICAN PATRIOTISM

At the distance of about three thousand miles
the American people far removed from the
scenes of the war in Europe and only family
realize what they are They read of battles and the
bombardment of cities and of wholesale slaughter
of the destruction of villages and the and desola
ton of mutitudes of wretched people, and are un-
to form adequate idea of the horrors that
being enacted
But this lesson is being impressed upon the Amer
lean mind 1t is the bessedness of political in
situations and American ideals There have been
times when popular government seemed to be fail
in this country, and there many who pointed
admiringy to European states and cities as examples
of the better government under monarchies. These
Americans mostly of the class that never attend
primaries and who vote only in presidential elections
The European has changed the views of these
people They behold now the blessings of popular
government While rests upon the people of
monarchical Europe their commerce and industry and
agriculture parayzed, and fear, despair and death
everywhere, the American people live In peace and
security. The has inflicted great trials upon our
country but these we'll endure. 1t will be
with much greater feryency that the American people
will hereafter sing their national anthems, for they
will feel all their eloquent meanings

the war promises to stretch out unfortunately. The
allies will be content to hold the German armies at
bay while they muster their resources and until
Russia has developed her full military power and
Italy and Roumania have taken a hand in the war.
The obvious policy of Germany is to lose time,
II possible, in smashing the allies defense in France
and taking Paris Antwerp taken.
The fall of the Belgian capital ended the most
optimistic hopes of early peace. 1t assured pro-
onged struggle in which the resources of the ma

Since the Geran law passed there has been
n marked weakening in every section of New Jersey
of the sentiment of loyalty to organization, which is
indispensable to the American plan of popular gov

virtue in citizen and that loyalty to party is to be
classed among the vices. The yerdicts of primary
elections made in accordance with the American prin-
cipe of government by the majority secuted and

let us get il firmly fixed In mind that
we have the skill, energy and capital
to make the things we need ourselves.
Let us cease paying unnecessary
tribute to the factories of Europe and
Asia. The millions of gold sent across
the sea to pay for goods that could be
made Just as we'll at home represents
an inexcusable waste. Why not keep
the treasure in the United States?
We must quit worshiping the word

should be written on the banners of
our admiration. A dollar paid for an
article manufactured here is a dollar
kept at home to help work out the
destiny of the republic.
The new propaganda rests not upon
patriotic fervor alone, though 1t has
an element of patriotism in It.
Rather, 1t rests upon a plain business
proposal: that America can make the
goods and needs the money the goods
will bring in the home market.
Germans proudly display the made
i'm Germany label. Britons favor the
things turned out by their own fac
tories and mills. Nowhere in the

to pay tribute to the best artisans In

BoERs IN REVOLT AGAINST BRITISH.

ominous news for Great Britain and the
European allies comes from South Africa in the an
nouncement that the burghers again afame with
the spirit of war The intrepid Dutch farmers once
are the saddle against the nation that wiped
out their republics decade ago. This result is only
what should be expected.
Recent dispatches from South Africa told of
Premier Botha the former Boer leader being in
dorsed by reclamation in publicly expressed views call
ing for the support of the London government in the
war against Germany and Austria Sweetened by
the censor the story added that army of Beers
would sail for Europe to assist the British 1t
indeed seemed as though the millennium of British
colonial fraternity had arrived; the man whose
brother had been slain by the Britsher about to
sacrifice his all to help the Brtsher.
Like a bolt from the blue comes the an
nouncement that instruction against the British
conquerors is we'll under way. The farmers who saw
their brothers and sons die by British bullets have yet
forget the memory of concentration camps and two
god-greed Then, too, the recent death of Gen
era Delarey seems more than a mere incident
Reported slain by accident, Delarey disappears at
moment when his ability as a soldier would be great
asset for colonial rebel And Delarey the last
of the Boer leaders to bow to the British yoke, after
lighting Kitchener and Roberts to a standstill.
How much Germany may be benefited by the
volt in South Africa is yet to be written. 1t took
100000 British troops to overcome $4,000 Beers and
England had to call ON black man and Hindu to help
as we'll as Australian and Canadian If the present
South African rebellion spreads the London
may have to call every of the empire.
That London has been we'll aware of the uncer-
tain conditions in South Africa has been made mani
by the holding back of Canadian troops from the
war of Europe Only 5000 British troops
reported in Belgium and few days ago it was an
nounced in the news that Portugal may join with
the allies This too is significant for the Portuguese

after be her mobile force Experience has shown
that dependence be had in fortified cities or
towns, which now simply traps for armies.
But time is everything in this war. The allies
gained time by the Belgian defense Liege saved
Paris and enabled the allies to destroy the German
offensive and compel retreat to the present defensive
position on the French rivers. If they
hold the Germans there while they accumulate
strength and await developments in the east of
Europe they will be we'll content But they do it?
And is there as much punch in the resumed German
offensive as there when it advanced with such
wonderful celebrity from Belgium to the environs of

BIRTHDAY OF NOTED WOMEN

MoIl Pitcher
Copyrighted 1914.
BY MARY MARSHALL.


The woman whom George Washing
ton honored with a commission as SER
geant in the Revolution began life as
house servant. During the course
of her life she was busy at many
callings. She was a laundress,
nurse girl. a storekeeper and a cook,
besides, of course, being very brave
soldier She was born October ID,
l744, and when she was twenty-five
years old she married a barber named
John Hays, who, at the outbreak of
the Revolution, went off as a gunner
The reason that Molly followed her
husband was not necessarily for any
especial devotion to John, but because
she hoped to earn few shillings do
ing laundry work for the officers.
Then, at the famous battle of Mon
mouth, n. j., when the thermometer
stood at 90 in the shade, Molly spent
her time fetching water for the sol
diers from a spring near the battle
field. In the thick of the battle her
husband, the gunner, was shot down
but not killed-and as there was no
one able to serve as gunner the order
came from the commanding officer to
remove the useless gun from the field
But Molly was equal to the task, and
before the gun could be removed she
had dropped her pitcher-some au-

WAR TEACHING CONSERVATION.

Nitrogen compounds essential for fertiliSng
American SOIL and through ignorance or waste of our
own natural resources have been depending upon
Germany for potash and Chile for sodium nitrate
The United States Geographical Survey points out that
sources of combined nitrogen valued at than nine
and one-half millions of dollars available yearly
from the leavings of gas works and coke ovens and
that another great domestic supply be obtained
by the electric fxaton of nitrogen from the atmos-
phere The latter alone would make large agricul
tural and industrial interests free from the uncertain
ties of the foreign supply, but it needs cheap hydro
electric development. Thus the very air around us
and the water that is running to waste can be made
to take the place of imported material This is
proving a. liberal education to the American people
in conservation and economy.

pEMooRAr1zING THE ARMIES.

The armies of Europe will be democratized by
the serious feature of the losses is the havoc
among the commissioned officers in all the armies.
England has already suffered the loss of hundreds of
officers of all ranks, there has been great mortality
in the French army and great greater mortality
among the German Austrian and Russian officers.
In Germany and Austria, it is reported, retired
officers have volunteered for service either in the
serves at the front In France also the retired
list is drawn upon. and doubt there is similar
condition in England But this supply cannot last
long The corps of officers of European army ex-
cept perhaps In France, is composed of representa-
tves of the upper classes The wholesale killing off
of officers compels the promotion of new officers
from the ranks, and if the is long continued the
great majority of the officers will have been privates
and "non-coms" the case in our great Civil
War and in the armies of Napoleon. The armies will
have become democratized.

from the newspaper.
Sometimes a single copy of news
