oN'T get "Iue" about the war When things seem to
- breaking badly; when defeats are recorded; when
- bIEaders result IN reveIses; when the enemy
stronger than YOU had gwen him credit for being just smile
and Be sue We shaI win Make It determinative; We
WILL win We MUST and CAN.
The tendency Is to become pessimstic at times when
things going badly. One Of those times upon
It is affecting aes than ourselves for they
more weary Of war It has been costing them more They
their dead and the streets the stun
bling human wrecks Of to sadden the vision We have
been spared almost al OF that up to now For US the war
young. We have lost but handful Our wounded
less than 100. We see no men broken by wal.
But feel the and TeveTses supposed to
have bad effect the morale Of nation OHrs-that
and aIies-beFan recently with the Russian de-
bae Then came the invasion of italy, then temporary
failure Of the drive the submarine bases Just beyond the
Flanders 'front.' then the penetration by the Germans Of
the British salient near Oueaut list after Gen Sir Julian
Byng and his glorious Third army had made CHEEKY;
then the marquis Of LaDsdovnes letter and the revival Of
Bacst talk in EnglaHd; then the huTyng Of German and
Austrian troops vest from the Russian front to smash the
HSh, French and Italian lines; then the saddeung Hall
&aK disaster indirectly due to the war; then the senatorial
investigation Of the conduct Of the var revealing that
have been SLOW N our preparations that after nine months
armies not entitled with uniforms not drill
ing With guns they should be, have next to no artillery
st Al AID are fighting In France with field and machine
FEas furnished y Tie French when they need al they
have and VIXEN should be supplying them
All these things depressing the when taken
conjunction with occasional small losses such the
showing up Of destroyer or the toTpedoing Of transport
Now and then lays down his papeT and voices his
fsaTs The Russian affair and Germanys gains and the
peace talk IN allied eOEies makes him apPTeheHsive that
The enemy Is Winning and that the war viii soon be over
vietoy fox Germany. BE is afraid the allies viii cult
nd leave holding TIE bags afraid that the whole wall Of
Gsfeaee VII eFenbls. This sat lack Of patriotism
It sat laTs fer Germany Neither It evidence CT
covaTssy spirit It = merely yielding too readily TO IN
Pressozs
Germany war Tsggst It. Not IN a thousand years can
Germany win. Tie Ees have Just begin TO fight. Ger
many trying to aks grRndstaud spectacular spgrt
and make want to tax peace, which the
thing In al the weird Germany and GeTnaHy's allies
most dsEiTe. They making peace drive If
sick fast; stand to and fight hard, the issue IS not
for moment IN dogbt.
The Germans feeling out the west front for hard
Eve fer Germany hasn't TIE artillery mass IN four
Evs places to prepare the way sufficiently Maybe the
GeEsns viii with the great numbers Of
fresh troops bTought from their vacation the Russian
front Maybe not II they dc, DON'T BE DISCOURAGED
It's all in the fortunes Of war and make gain
cones next. We ARE BOUND TO WIN. We have only to
stick it fight the Utmost and GERMANY MUST
YIELD. Nothing beat but ourselves. Germany
defeated in the that GERMANY CANNOT win while
can.
Locking at Germany, We have bear in 2 cage With
great big raging bear eaW1g between the bars and snap
ping md sarng. The bars strong The bear cannot
get and while may be scratched and bitten trying
dispatch the bear at close quarters nevertheless the bear
really hasn't a chance.
Don't mind the paciist talk England OF other coun-
tres The boiler which blows OF steam doesn't explode
and allies VIII stick fast. We count Great
Britain and France. TIE FRENCH ARE IN The WAR
TO The DEATH and they not dying q nation They
stronger and material than they when first
mebized IN 1917. We have the word Of Frances high
commissioner TO the United States Capt Andre Tardieu
that. BULLDOG BRITAIN WILL NEVER SAY QUITS
WHILE THE EMMY IS ON HIS FEET. And Sc for cur
