OFF TO FRANCE

The poem herewith which is re-
printed from the Archbold Advocate
is by a former Wauseon girl, Miss
Frieda, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. j.
c. Rychener of Ridgeville Corners,
1t is of merit and certainly reflects
the spirit of the times.
The sky is dark the sun obscured
The day has turned to night;
For honor, duty, wronps endured,
Our sons march out to fight.
We, weeping, see them tramping by
We strain for one last glance
Of some loved form in khaki clad,
AS they march off to France
Our souls cry out against the crime,
This slaughter of our best;
Yet feeling wells to heights sublime
To see them meet the test.
For even though our hearts are lead,
We're proud as they advance;
The dear brave lads, with faces set
AS they march off to France.
For outraged womanhood they co.
We would not have them stay;
A mighty debt to France we owe,-
We would not choose but pay;
For liberty for those oppressed
Down with the tyrant's lance;
So let's be brave and cheer them on
AS they march off to France.
While they respond to duty's call.
We have a part to play;
We send them forth, our best, our al
Then wait the reckoning day;
Nor wait in vain, for right must win
And though twill thin the ranks,
Well greet our boys with honest pride
When they march home from France

THE DIARIES We ERSUS BREWERIES
SOME REAL FIGHTING

Frank C. Nelson, soldier of fortune,
hero of many battles, and recently
appointed division sergeant-major in
the National Army at Camp Devens,
traces the success of his wonderful
military career back to the United
States Marine Corps 1t was dur
ing the four years spent with our
Navy soldiers, Sergeant Nelson de-
clares, that he learned the Gins and
outs" Of real fighting.
Although but thirty years of age,
Sergeant Nelson's life reads like a
chapter of fiction. He was with the
U. S. Marines at Nicaragua during
the rebellion. He was sergeant-ma-
jor of an oversee battalion of Can
adams and twice was wounded while
He has been awarded the Victoria
Cross by Sir John French for saving
the life of a Britich officer on the
battlefield, and has been decorated
by King Albert of Belgium in person
He has seen much fighting on the
French front and is considered an
expert in trench fighting and bomb
ing.

THE WAR MUST BE FOUGHT OUT

Prof. John R. Knipfer of the de-
partment of European history in the
Ohio State University, has recently
returned from study at first hand OF
Germans and Germany in Germany.
In a recent lecture in Columbus he
said there was much unsound theory
regarding them both. In the trst
place they are nothing like starved
out. They haven't the least idea
but they will win the war. Ihey
intend to collect indemnities.
Don't make that impossible dis
tincUIon between the people OF Ger
many anu tneIr government, ne
uteaueu. ave must force the Ger
man people to cnange their whole
vlewpolnC and the only way to do 1t
IS py armed force" He added that
Cne Germans, by reason of birth and
framing, could not grasp the great
democratic idea Even if oemo-
cratic movement should seem to gain
force in the empire it would be in
sincere and the result of outside mil
ICary pressure.
1t is well to get at the real facts
even if they are unpleasant. Prof.
hnipfer has spoken out with candor
and knowledge. We must all real
ize that this war cannot be won by
disturbing a quantity of idealistic
tracts over Germany, dropped from
aeroplanes, telling of the evils of au-
tocracies and the virtues of democra-
cies. AS we'll expect to win Ameri-
cans over to Germany by propa-
ganda telling of the weaknesses OF
democracies and the strengths of au-
tocracies. One is just about as pos
sible as the other.
1t is a real war we are in. 1t
will have to be won by fighting and
not by tracts. We will have to win
and we will win because we are the
best stayers and have the resources
A belief in unsound theories will not
only retard the result but lay founda-
tion for future troubles.

be enough candy to supply the de.
mand this Christmas"
Jobbers appear to be panicky over
the situation, and each firm apparent
ly is trying to procure enough to sup
ply its customers for the next several
months. Manufacturers report that
this tendency to hoard is not serious,
and that it is being checked by prop
er distribution of output.
The only fear is that next year, if
the war continues, the candy indus
try will be seriously hampered. They
point out that as soon as present
surplus stocks have been consumed,
with the factories working only at
half capacity, there will be only a
fraction of the normal amount of
sweets on the market. They are
warning the public that candy lovers
probably will feel the hand of Her
bert Hoover before many months
pass, and it is possible that Christ
mas in 1918 will be celebrated as a
sweetless holiday.

SUPPLY OF HOLIDAY
TOYS Be PLENTIFUL
AMERICAN AND JAPANESE MAN
UFACTURERS MEETING ALL
DEMANDS FOR XMAS GIFTS.

The indications are there will be
plenty of toys in the Dawson market
for the holiday trade, notwithstand-
ing the advice to be cautious about
expenditures. Local dealers handling
toys for the Christmas trade are al
ready receiving their stocks for the
inspection of old st. Nick when he
starts out on his purchasing rounds.
Apparently there is no shortage in
the things which bring so much JOY
to the youngsters at Yuletide
Demands Are Being Met.
There has been some talk of the
prospect of a reduction in the guam
tity of these things, but dealers state
that the demands are being easily
met by the manufacturers of this
country, assisted by large importa-
lions of toys and novelties from ia
pan, these Oriental goods taking the
place of those heretofore imported
from Germany. And the general opin-
ion is that the Oriental goods are
considerably superior to the Teutonic
importations of recent years. This
superiority is also shown in the
American made goods that are being
put on the market this year in place
of the made in Germany" articles
that were once so general in use.
In this connection it is also stated
that American manufacturers have
made every provision to take care of
a large amount of export trade, espe-
cially in supplying the needs of Can
ada, to meet the holiday demands.
So upon the whole there is no
room to believe that the war will
have any serious effect on the sup
ply of Christmas novelties and toys
and the children can indulge in their
customary expectations without fear
that Santa Claus will find his stock
short in any way.
