The Change
On the DemOcra :

All Springfield and all Bao..
have been asking, why did they
kick Koontz out? And among
all, the feeling is current that
they treated him shamefully.
There may be all kinds of an
swers to the question, but the
real sequel to the episode is
that the Democrat hasn't made
it's stockholders a million dollars
apiece.
Nearly two years ago a bunch
of innocent farmers thought
they saw means of getting a
corner on the newspaper busi
ness and on the politics of the
county, and dividends conse-
quently like unto snow-capped
mountains dazzled their eyes
and blinded them to everything
else-all they could see was Just
that corner and the divi-
dends.
Having gotten this astigma-
tism in their eyes, they went
out on the hunt of a staff writer
and generalisimo of their army.
and found Enock Koontz quietly
minding his own business.
After listening for a season
to their siren song he also be-
came affected with astigmatic
visions of filthy lucre, and so,
like unto Barcus, they found
him willin' to lead their hosts to
the pelf, and the alluring though
chimerical pot of gold.
1t has been nearly two years
since these rainbow chasers
kicked Knight out of a losing
proposition into good farmers
job; and because they have fail
ed to find the dividends and gold
cupons at the end of the rainbow
as they expected, they proceed
ed to take it out OF the man who
foolishly listened to their CHR
ripping song, and consented to
become their Moses.
Instead of mountains of gold
bearing cupons at the end OF
their rainbow wild-goose chase,
they found only expense, and
the consequent dregs of blasted
hopes. In other words, the
Democrat, instead of laying the
expected golden eggs, has prov
en- only a financial loss.
AS to Mr.. Koontz, while he has

he is now just what he then
was, and what they knew him
to be, when they arranged with
him-reither better nor worse.
Like his predecessor Knight,
Mr.. Koontz is II good writer and
a good manager. and did just as
much as was possible under the
circumstances to make of the
Democrat ~ financial success.
We believe the stockholders owe
much to him for his ability as a
writer and his economical man
agment of their affairs, and
above all his devotion to their
interests and to the business end
of the proposition. Anyway,
whatever else may be said about
it, he deserved better at their
hands than the treatment he got.
To put the whole thing in a
nutshell as to the Democrat en-
terprise and its outcome, IA few
innocent farmers debbled into
something that was out of their
line and that they knew nothing
about, and got stung. and then
proceeded to pour out their bot

High School Column
Conducted by
High School Teachers
By ARTHUR MENDEL DRAKE.

Outline of war tactics employed
in the present European war;
Germany's plan of attacking the
Allies was as follows: To strike
quickly and hard at France and
crush her before she had time to
put up defense; turn eastward
and attack the slow moving Rus
slams before they had time TO col
lect their scattered forces and de-
feat these one by one. In the
meantime, recognizing the super
iority of the English navy, she in
tended to keep her fleet guarding
the two entrances to The country,
the famous Kiel Canal and the
straits between Scandinavia and
Denmark. The Germans, accord
ing to their careful statistical re-
ports, could live entirely depen-
dent upon their own resources for
a year and by that time they eX
pected to subdue or so divide the
Balkans as TO open an avenue of
communication with the outer
world, in addition to subterra-
mean passage through her ally, or
at least neutral, Italy.
The German army was divided
into three parts, the army OF the
Meuse, the army OF the MoselIe
and the Rhine-and each assigned
a vulnerable point at which to at
tack the French frontier. The
army Of the Meuse was expected
to march around the northern line
OF French border Notifications and
hurry through neutral Belgium in
TO France, tor there We're no torti'
fications between France and Bel,
gium, 1t would break their treaty
obligations to do this, but they did
not seem to care, and they expect.
ed Belgium to submit to it. In
this supposition, though, she was
badly mistaken and it was a mis-
take which turned out very disas-
trously for that country. If she
had been able to reach the heart
of France Immediately, as she
intended to Go, the tide of wal
would not have turned as it did
As it was, the Bclgians put up a
stout resistance and there was q
delay Of nearly two weeks at Liege
Brussels, and Antwerp. This gave
France plenty time to mobilize anc
receive help from Great Britain
Russia also W as given time to pre-
pare for the coming struggle.
Toward the latter part of Au
gust an advance toward Paris was
commenced from Belgium. They
overthrew everything in their way
until they got within forty mile
of the capital. Here they met ;
vast army of English, French
Russian, and Belgian soldier
which proved impregnable to tn
invading army. In fact it wa
driven slowly back until they al
most reached the French frontier
Here in northeastern France tn
retreat stopped and the armies en-
trenched themselves, forming
battle line 100 miles long. Thi
line has remained in nearly tn
same position until the presen
time with various successes on eae
side. -.
In the east the situation ha
been more complicated. By th
middle of August the eastern di
