 LONDON, Oct. 4.-Discusisng the present outlook for the continuance of the allied offensive begun last week. Lloyd George stated that the French and British war authorities were con fident that the military forces of both nations could be amply. sustained by the present provisions for supplying munitions.
 The newly erected munition plants in both countries together with the older established munitions plants were turning out an ample supply at all times and the foreign purchases were at present in the nature of a reserve supply which could be used for a gradual extension of operations. The chancellor was seemingly confident that only the weight of a superior resistance could check the present movement.

Back Fire.

About the worst case of back-fire
argument is that of Hermann Ridder,
editor of the Statts-Zeitung. He took
sides with Italy when that country
refused to stay by the Triple Ali
ance, claiming that it was the ex-
ercise of a perfectly legal option
whether she should join Germany or
not. He commended the action in
very certain tones. Now that the
boot is on the other foot, he berates
Italy for choosing the Allies cause
and says it is all due to an Unsuitable
greed. We here in this country can
not really know a great deal about
the motive behind the actions of the
nations entering this war. We can
only form opinions by what we read
and hear. Judged, therefore, by what
we have read from Mr.. Ridder, he
has cracked in his argument, COM
pletely, reversing himself so far as
Italy is concerned. Mr.. Riders case
only proves the utter hopelessness of
trying to make a German American
see anything but the German side of
this war. He might even take UP
arms against his native country, but
ne would still be for Germany.

The business that is not progress
sive is sowing the seeds of its own
dissolution. Life is movement for
ward, and all things in nature that
are not evolving into something bet
ter are preparing to return into thir
Constituent elements.
One general rule for progress in
big business concerns is the intro
duction of new blood. You must
keep step with the business world. If
you lag behind the outlaws that hang
on the TANKS of commerce will cut
you out and take you captive, just
as the wolves lie in wait for sick
cow Of the plains.

introduce new methods, new inspir-
atlons, and seize upon the best that

The great railroads of America
have evolved together. No one Of
them has an appliance or method
that is much beyond the rest If it
were not for this interchange of men
and ideas some railroads would still
re using the link and pin, ana snake
heads would be as common as in the
year 1869.
The railroad manager who knows
his business is ever ON the lookout

he promotes those who give an I'M

to your competent manager. If a
place is to be filled, and he has no
one on his payroll big enough to fill
1t, he hires an outsider.
That is right and well for every
one concerned. A new life of many
a firm dates from the day they hired
the new foreman.
Communities that intermarry raise
a fine crop of scrubs, and the result
is the same in business ventures.
One of Americas largest concerns
