strength in men and munitions into
the arena. If this view is right,
100000 or 100000 American SOL
diers must go to France and the
transportation of such an army, to-
gether with the necessary equipment
and supplies, would be the greatest
military undertaking in the history of
the world, and cannot be accomplish
ed inside of three or four years.
However, the United States, Eng
land and France are in the war to the
end, no matter how far away the end
may be. They realize that to lose
now means the subjugation Of the
world to Prussianism and no sacri-
fees are too great that may be nee
essary to thwart such consumation.
This is no time to enquire into the
causes of the war. We are at war
with Germany and every legitimate
effort must be put forward to win the
great conflict. When the fire COM
pany is called out to quench fire
nobody insists upon making inquiry
as to the cause of the blaze. The
first thing necessary is to stop the
destruction and every effort is di-
rected to that end.

WANTS EVERYTHING.

Germany is trying to appropriate
the great French sculptor, Rodin, now
that he is dead. The German people
cannot get away from the idea that
they are superior to everybody else
and that every great man must of
necessity have been of German ORR
gin. A celebrated German art critic
short time ago made the following
observation:
Rodin, like Shakespeare and Mich
ael Angelo, belongs to us Germans,
for our claim upon every art-creator
is one We will never allow anybody to
question.
The Freeman-Journal would like to
know how this critic is going to keep
the world from questioning such benz
bast. First thing we know the Ger
mans will be claiming Billy Sunday
and Carrie Lane Chapman Gait.

STRICKEN ARMENIA.

A letter has just been received by
the American Committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian Relief from the secre-
tary of the West Persia Committee
telling of the frightful need in that
district and begging for more funds
to be sent at once so that provision
for the winter may be made. Ex-
tracts follow:
II have been permitted to visit the
districts of West Persia in connec-
ton with relief work. found desc
late country, especially the city of
Soujboulakh. At the last advance of
the Russians, heavy fighting followed.
A large section of the city was de-
stroyed. and many surrounding vii
lagos, several thousand persons being
killed and skeletons are still to be
seen on the road sides. Those who
were not killed fled with the Turks
who had led them into the trap.
Their flight, like that of the Syrians
in 1915, was in winter over heavy
SHOWS covering. the mountains. Many
persons died from exposure.
"For some months now the rem
nants of these who fed have been re-
turning. They did not find a warm
welcome in Turkey and the heat of
the Mosul plains was more than they
could stand. In the winter as they
fled many died from the cold; in
Mosul when spring and summer came
many more died from the heat; be-
reaved and lonely, few in numbers
compared with the hosts that fed,
they return only to find their vii
lagos destroyed and all their posses
sions gone; with country inhabited
only by the army. 1t is estimated
that there are now forty thousand fac
ing hunger. RS
Now the facts are these:
l. 10000 people in desperate
need. They must have food, clothing,
bedding and unless they have they
will be starving next year also.

and not more than one-fifth Of what
was sown was harvested.

WHERE WILL IT END?

There is much difference of opinion
among we'll informed men of how long
the war will last. Some say it cannot
end inside of two years and others
expect it to continue at least twice as
long as that. A few believe Germany
will have to quit next year. Outside
the central powers nowhere is it
thought possible that Germany can
win, but some pessimists fear it will
finally be a draw, in which case Ger
many will get more out of it than
any other nation. The premier OF
Greece and others equally well in
formed hold to the opinion that even
though Italy may be put out of the
fighting and France go the way OF
Roumania and Belgium, England and
the United States, with the aid of the
other allies outside of Europe, will
carry on the war indefinitely if needs
be to prevent surrender to Germany.
The entire civilized world, outside the
central powers, is against Prussian-
ism and Germany has lost the respect
of mankind, as well as the great COM
merce she has built up by years of
industry and thrift.
Just now the allies are winning
conspicuous victories in France and
Italy is holding the German and
Austrian hords at bay on the Italian
front. The outlook at present is GER
tainly satisfactory, the only fly in the
ointment being the collapse of Rus
STA, which all admit is serious. Yet
there is hope that the Russian peo-
pie will soon regain their senses and
that they will see that they can
never realize their dream for liberty
as long as Prussianism remains the
controlling factor in central Europe.
If Russia would come back and de-
liver the blows she is capable of de-
livering it would all be over next
summer, but the likelihood of Rus
STA doing that within the next year
is very remote. Hence that great
nation must be left out of the equa-
ton for the present and the allies
must do the best they can without
her.
Some military authorities insist that
the allies cannot win until the United
States throws nearly her entire

The senate committee having
charge Of the case against Senator
LaFollette are now making an in
vestigation into the sinking of the
Lusitania to ascertain whether or
not the senator told the truth about
it. All of which is of no avail.
What's the difference whether he told
the truth or not about the sinking, he
prevaricated when he implied that
this country went to war over that
crime. Uncle Sam held his peace for
two years; it may be said without
credit to him, after that outrage
against the freedom of the seas had
been committed and Senator LaFol-
lette's insistence that the Lusitania
sinking brought US into the war only
shows the poverty of the senator for
real excuses. Fact of the matter is,
LaFollette has been giving encour
agement to pro-Germans here at
home and his outrageous talks have
been reprinted in Germany. That is
enough. He ought to be expelled
from the senate and retired to pri-
waite life where he would not enjoy
franking privileges and where the
mean words flowing from his unruly
mouth would not have the backing
given them because he Is a United
