up his statement with a most loyal
declaration. He was for the prose-

successful conclusion and appealed

people for the support necessary to
that end. In spite of other and less
worthy expressions this enunciation

DOUBLING THE ARMY.

No greater folly could be commit.
ted than to sit back and whit for in
ternal dissensions in Germany to
win the war: or for the English and
French armies to break through; or
for the Russians to rally. W.
+ That the United States govern
ment realizes this. is shown by that
fact that the war department has de-
cided to send an American army of a
million men at once, instead of the
half million originally planned.
The new army will consist If the
draft army Of 100000, the national
guard recruited to war strength, and
the regular army. 1t would not be
surprising IL this force were IN
France by the first OF the year.
The German government has been
telling it's people that no help could
be expected from America this year
The difference between no help and
q million men. may be the difference
between a drawn war and winning
it. Germany is beginning TO realize
she cannot win, but she Is still far
from beaten. Her offensive against
Russia may have been more 4 proof

The quickest way to stop the
slaughter and the terrible drain on
the entire world. is to throw the
combined resources Of all the Allies
into the scale at the earliest possible
moment. and not place any reliance
on the starvation of Germany or an
uprising of the German people.

Our Country
BY Henry Dwight sedswiek of the
NiaiIantss.

Ninilantes.
War is hateful and a mad thing
It embodies the maximum of human
wickedness and human folly. To
turn this strange and wonderful ex-
perience, life-this brief time be-
tween the darkness from which we
came and the darkness to which we
go-that offers to man a beautiful
world to look at, the boundless in
terests OF knowledge, the happiness
of friendship, the enjoyment of la
Dor. the blessing of the deeper at
feetions, to. turn all this into sham
bles and hatred, Is monstrous, the
doing OF devils.
But the wickedness and waste of
it must not blind us to some good to
be got from it.
IN the first place there is Russia
redeemed from tyranny, there will
be Germany, we hope, rescued from
her military madness, and at home
there will be some recompense for
our privations and sufferings. The
country will be consolidated as
never before; East and West, North
and South. will find sectional diff
ferences we'll nigh obIiterated. The
western farmer will find the Wall
Street banker a man devoted to the
general good, whose chief fault is
not to be a revolutionary reformer,
and the Wall Street banker will feel
that the western farmer should have
his economic condition ameliorated.
People may live three thousand
miles apart, but a common emotion
will make them neighbors, far
quicker than steam and electricity.
Then we hope that the incidence
Of taxation will fall on luxuries dur
ing the war and will continue to
fall on Iuxuries after the war, so
that now and hereafter TO indulge
greatly in luxury will be the sign OF
L Stacker in patriotism.
Then we believe that a league Of
democratic nations will be the be-
ginning of a real human union, will
realize the old dream Of Christian
ity-a Christendom in which all
men shall be brothers; that no ma
ton will seek to keep a market
solely for itself, that protective
duties will be suppressed by inter-
national amity, the sword be beaten
into a ploughshare, and military
preparedness be regarded as the last
remnant Of the middle ages.

and most patriotic truths yet

5pie, by this greatest apostle of Am

unions on the East ST. Louis riots
he made the foregoing statement,
Among other things he said:

intensity OF conviction that 1t IL
