FRANCES QU1EscENT ALLIES.

The report that the allies of France
are simply waiting for the word from
France before striking a tremendous of
fensive at Germany is difficult to believe
The report indicates that France, desir-
GUS of building up a military prestige of
great renown, is willing to sacrifice tens
allies are keeping their losses at a mini
mum. 1t means that France is willing
to weaken herself, economically speaking,
so that she will be decades behind her
war allies when once the war is conclud-
ed. 1t means that France is willing to
spend hundreds of millions of dollars in
munitions and equipment where her al
lies expenditures are less than tenth
of that total 1t means that France is
willing to set herself far back of all Eu-
rope Just for the chance of beating Ger
many at Verdun and thereby gaining
reputation for great valor. Such report
does not seem probable, although it is
equally hard to understand why Frances
allies, notably Great Britain, do not
strike sledge hammer blows at a time
when the whole resources OF France APP
parently are taxed to meet the onslaughts
of the invader There must be other
reasons besides the bidding of France
why Great Britain and Russia do not
take a seemingly favorable moment tot
attack a foe which has concentrated so
much of her strength against the French
at one given point on the southern end
of the far-fung battle line from Switzer-
land to the North sea. What those rea-
sons are we may reasonably expect to
learn after the close of the war.

THE BEAUTY OF OUR MEMORIAL
DAY.

There is something about soldiers
and sailors memorial that grows more
beautiful and impressive with the pass
ing of the years. So it is with our an
nual observance of day on which the
services of Union soldiers in the great
Civil war are honored. The thinning line
OF those who participated in the war
makes no difference. except perhaps to
add to the solemnty of the occasion. A
few faithful organizations, whose mem
hers are conscious of the deep obligation
that the country owes to its soldiers and
sailors, assemble each year to act as es-
cort TO the line of veterans as they toll
their way up the hill to the cemetery;
the parade forms and. though small in
numbers. marches with the full conscious
ness Of the dignity of its purpose; the
cemetery reached. the surviving nav their
tribute Of respect 10 departed comrades;
then the little column forms again and
proceeds TO q selected place. where the
orator Of the day interprets the meaning
Of the day and, mayhap. adds comment
on correlated features Of the current his.
tory The whole proceeding is simple
but decidedly impressive. There Is no
loud fanfare, no booming Of cannon. no
cracking Of the implements Of = Fourth
Of July celebrations. no scintillation oil
an aerial display in the evening. no noisy
demonstration. The Observance Of Ne

an event; IL permits thoughtful consid- 1

spirit Of patriotism rather thar develops
