1t would have created an autocratic
central European Ieague extending
fro mthe North sea to the Persian gulf.
German victory, if complete. after the
terrible sacrifices Of nearly three years,
would have made no lenient terms. II
would have annexed Belgium and a
part Of northern France. and would
have compelled Holland and Denmark
to enter as members Of the German
federation. 1t would have regained
Egypt for Turkey and substituted Ger
man for English control of the Suez
altogether, Greece would have become
an ally Of Austria and Germany, and
vast war indemnities would have been
demanded. Trouble Of all kinds would
have been invoked for the United
States, with the result that we should
have been expected to finance the in
IDENTITIES for Germany's vanquished
foes. The situation had so developed
that from the standpoint Of the United
States and the whole western hem
isphere a complete victory on the part
Of Germany had to be prevented and
this Is the basic truth.

Aside from business shrewdness and

how much had the boy ought to spend
out of that $50 IL it materializes, $40

boy and having heard the lads plans,
thought the youth would not spend that
much. "All right" said the wealthy
man, Lets. YOU and I contract with
him right now that each OF us Will

Why should ! give up a good JOB

The above Illuminating remark was
oTerheard in railroad train the other
day. Apparently the fellow was not

Of war One would infer that if the
more than the $3.50 per that he might
be earning. he would see the thing in
a quite different light.
In contrast to this one sees the flower

hazards Of battle. II is the pathetic
side Of war, that while slackers would

The point to be given our best at

between the splendid youth that gives
no thought except to his country's need
and the apparent sordidness OF the
speaker on the railroad train. Let us
come home and apply the lesson to
ourselves. Why, II youth Is ready

CITY LABOR TO FARMS.

Saturday afternoon "A definite plan of

census OF the city and tabulate the
names OF those who can be used on
the farms has been recommended and
"a canvass of the farms viii also be
made to determine the needs of the
farmer. Thus the Improvement league
becomes an employment bureau.

likely that with but little effort list
OF local residents willing to work on
the farm could be complied. In many
cities in Iowa the school authorities
have announced that credits Will be
given boys who take up farm work
as well as for those who enlist In the
army. Many boys who for one or
more or various reasons are not ELI

representative OF business says: "ThiS

pay the entire bill ALSO" Tho faliacy
Of this Line OF reasoning comes from
the fact that this generation that
does the fighting, or the bulk Of 1t, con-
sists principally OF comparatively poor
people. with incomes Of less than
$1,000 year. The plan set forth by
the American committee would not.

while we should Like to think that fu-

entirely rely upon such immunity from

troubles of their own. To burden the

could at the same time insure them
