There is war in Europe and 1t is
sad AFFAIR. There is a big war right
here at home in the District Of CO.
lumbia and the surrounding terri
tory. II is a hot fight, but the shot
and shell bring gladness to the SOL
diers, instead Of sadness. The pow
der, shrapnel and poisonous gases are
nothing more than paper ballots.
These same ballots are the weapons
that will carry some to victory and
bring others down to defeat. No gen
eral now fighting in this big war
hopes to hold his forces together and
retain the ground already gained
unless he keeps up an everlasting
bombardment. The enemy is alert.
Every one of the leaders is fully
determined to capture the biggest
prize, no matter how well the forth
fcations may stand the attack. The
war is going to end soOn,. and those
who are entrenched nearest the Mitch
ell will have to fight as they have
never fought before or retreat and
make ready for some one of the other
rivals, for the flag of victory is to
be raised over the big Mitchell car
Immediately after the smoke Of the
battle is cleared away on March "a.
