Britain Failure" On Gallipoli

Brtain's withdrawal from the DaTdanelleS campaign
looks at first glance like failure But there is another
view to take of it, the withdrawal of the forces and
abandonment of the offensive campaign, is sign Of
vitality in the British nation proof OF courage and
biguess 1t is the small man, the desperate man. the
coward who shrinks from acknowledging fault OF failure
Mere pride evident fear the part of the govern
ment to acknowledge the failure Of movement waged
with such tremendous and such bragga boasts of
determination to succeed would indicate weakness The
withdrawal indicates strengh-strength Of the govern
ment and strength of the British people to bear
without fInching.
Two other areas of demand Britain's greatest
efforts Roadway is to be made These are the Greek
frontier and the defence of Egypt and Suez.
Germany is working hard to consolidate the Balkan
states join up Servia Montenegro, and Albania with
Bulgaria, with possibly hope of enlistng Rumania
eventually. Greece benevolent neutral" is worth
to Germany just now than would be Greece as
ally.
And the future of Arabia the Sinai peninsula Meso
potama, and Turkey, possibly Persia, is to be de-
terIined In this for long time to come. These
constitute the region of ancient civilizations long neg
lected in the time of the moderns. There are rieh
natural resources, and important strategic values
control of the seas. Germany is taking the lead In
developing the possibilities here and these activities
constitute serious to the British empire. Not
very many years ago, Britain fighting for Turkey
against Russia; that would be far more logical
rangement today, than the she is in.
Britain withdrew her forces from Gallipoi because
she had greater work for them to do.

Britain $ Hold On Germany

Great Britain has one sort Of hold on her enemies
that cOmpensaes for many disadvantages Britain may
lose and lose heavily, in her land empire but at the
end she viii be able to say to Germany, "The is

The final demand when the time for compromise
and adjustment comes may be for the return of terri
tory captured from the allies OF it may be for money
indemnity, or for waiver On Germany's part of de-
mands she might make for indemnity; but certain is
and that Germany must pay in some form to get her
ships back upon the
Germany is going to make tremendous gains yet, on
land She may be forced to yield her line at point
points, but the whole, the land is hers up
1t is highly doubtful if the entente allies pos
sby enlist and equip enough dislodge the central
empires and their allies from any large they
occupy conquerors. On the contrary, the central
empires viii certainly extend their lines in

But even if Germany sent her navy out from its

Germany aims to gain control Of Mesopotamia and

The Outlaw

Villa has had his chance and has been beaten. For
long time he was the beneficiary of disgracefu and

short of actually sending American troops to fight for

tho1ies and his voice. through his representatives,

to hinder him. and the contrary he the recognized
agent of the Washington government in its efforts to
dictate to Mexicans what kind Of a government they
should have.
With all this, Villa failed. Mexico did not want him,
and he did demonstrate those civil and military
powers necessary to restore order in the republic What
and his associates may have made out of the revolu
ton personally do not pretend say; everybody has
his idea about this But that he has totally failed

Now he remains, with handful of men, unreconciled

raids and prosecutions destroy railroads and industries

houses and other immoral resorts.
All this he does in the name of the Hplan Of San

as patriot and declares all Mexico his enemy.
Nothing but evil can come of his operations. He
has nothing to bring to Mexico and his rebellion is

mawkish sentimentality induce tolerance of his

Stand Patter'' Is A Stationary Statesman
The Breed Confined Solely To Those In Office

4 STANDPATTER is q stationary
~ statesman who is satisfied with
majorities as they are. Stand
patters are confined entirely to sue
cesSful candidates. They have existed
ever since Noah's time, when a large
number Of this great mariners friends
pronounced the 40 days rain to be
only a slight local disturbance of no
national bearing. Lots wife was an
other eminent standpatter- She re-
manned for centuries entirely motion
less and looking steadfastly backward.
The standpatter believes there is q
future, but does not believe in trying
to haul it into the present by the
neck Political standpatters are sat
isfied with last years laws and so
cia1 standpatters are satisfied with
last years shirts. There has also
arisen a new brand Of standpatters
who are regarded with great contempt
in some quarters because they are sat
isfied with last years wife.
Opinion varies as TO the virtues Of
standpatters. We have the word OF
eminent statesmen TO the effect that
to stand pat is to rely upon the wis

tolerance Of the present and a. cautious

What Is Safe Farming?

First, home garden for every family to provide vege
tables nearly possible the year round with an
additional plot for potatoes sorghum cane; second
corn to support the family and live stock; third oats
and small grain to supplement the feed fourth
hay and forage for the live stock; fifth meat necessary
supply the family, raising poultry, hogs and beef
pay attention to daryng; sixth after all the foregoing
things have been provided for produce cotton for the
market
These the suggestions of Bradford Knapp, United
States government agent in charge Of cooperative farm
demonstration work in the south, looking to rational
development of the idea Of what is called "safe
farming" and used to be called "dversification" Mr.
Knapp said that if this is followed the farmer
viii prosper whether cotton is selling for IS cents
per pound.
At a recent convention Mr.. Knapp told about modern
marketing arrangements. In towns in the south
organizations have been formed to furnish market for
anything farmer may raise In South Carolina such
organizations take of the marketing of grain More
and the plan is being followed of concentrating
cotton cattle and hogs buyers to point
and buy.
With necessary notifications to suit local con-
ditions, the plan outlined by Nj Knapp is worth
most earnest consideration.
