The Road to France.

Thank God, our liberating lance,
Goes flaming on the way to France!
To France-the trail the Cur has
found
To France-old England's rallying
ground!
To F'rance-the path the Russians
strobe!
To France-the Anzacs glory road!
To France-where our Lost Legion
ran
To fight and die for God and man.
To France-with every race and
breed that hates expressions bru-
tai creed!
All, France-how could our hearts
forget
The path by which came Lafayette?
How could the haze of doubt hang
low
Upon the road of Rochambeau?
How was it that we missed the way
Brave Joffre leads us on today?
AT last, thank God At last we see
There is no tribal Liberty!
No beacon lighting just our shores!
No Freedom guarding just our
doors!
The flame she kindled for our sires
Burns now in Europe's battle fires!
The soul that led our fathers West
Turns back to free the worlds OPP
pressed!
Allies, you have not called in vain!
We share your conflict and your
pain!
"Old Glory" through new stains and
and rents,
Partakes of Freedoms sacraments!
Into that hell his will creates
We drive the foe; his lusts, his
hates!
Last come we will be last to stay
Till Right has had her browning
.. day.. - H
ss r. p Ia Il i
Replenish, comrades, from our veins,
The blood the sword of despot
drains,
And make our eager sacrifice
Part of the feebly rendered price,
You pay to lift humanity
You pay to make our brothers free!
See, with what proud hearts we adj
vance
To France!

@ The kaiser is finding TO his sor-
row and chagrin that it is much
easier to start a world conflagration
than it is to stop it. The kaiser
applied the match with great glee

planned for forty years was nearly
within his greedy grasp. But alas

try's peril" fa9

There are many people who do not
know just what ]. w. w. stands for
as applied to the labor organization
that has for months been devoting
so much energy toward causing trou-
BILE for the government. Some say
it means 81 Won't Work. others IN
sist it stands for I'm With Will
helm" and still others infer it
reads, when spelled out, I'm Wor-
rying Wilson," At any rate, the I.
w. VS. are making nuisances of
themselves and are losing the re-
spect of patriotic people everywhere.
This is no time for any class or clan
to stir up trouble and discord. The
contract to lick the kaiser which
we have upon our hands is ample to
furnish excitement and fighting
enough to go around.
No, our allies are not making rap
id progress on the western front,
but they are making progress, and
that is the important thing When
Germany made her drive just after
the declaration OF war she took
about 5000 miles of French terri
tory before France and Great Brit
ain could stop the invasion. How
ever, since the advance was stopped,
Germany has been unable to make
any progress in the west, and since
the British and French offensives
opened last spring they have recov
cred about one-eighth of the terri
tory taken by Germany in the open
ing stages Of 1.-The great conflict. 1t
is beyond reason to expect Germany
to be able to break through the
western front at any point, now
that the allies are fully prepared,
and we will soon be rendering them
valuable assistance. The only really
serious menace to the success of the
opponents of Germany is the sub
marine, and when the United States
gets few thousand aeroplanes over
the menaced waters about England
and France, the submarine must
lose much of its terrors. 1t is be-
lieved that by next spring the United
States will have tens of thousands
of air craft in the service. There
is no reason to fear that Germany
can bring England to terms before
that time, and it is reasonably GER
tain that she cannot do it after this
country has sent a few thousand Of
the machines abroad. Germany evil
IDENTIFY. understands this, which fact
explains the growing demand for
peace in that country. However,
the United States government and
people should never consent to a
peace that does not assure a lasting
peace. and a, lasting peace cam never
be assured except by the overthrow
of Prussian militarism, either by
force Of arms or by the will of the
German people.

We are nation Of meat eaters and

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood Of this irritating acid. but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative It's

tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.

bladder is irritable, obliging you to

four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-

few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer a
source of irritation, thus ending urin

IN STRIKING CONTRAST

The blasphemous assumptions OF
the Kaiser as to the diyinely anointed
character OF his world domination am
billions arc familiar to all who have
followed the ruthless path he has cut
out in this war Compared to his per
formance there Is a striking contrast
in the manner In which the Allied
troops under the British commander
Allenby have occupied Palestine. It
is the difference between the ravcnous
Hun that desolated Belgium and
rayished France, and the suCcoring and
doferential Christian that drove the
lnfidel from the sacred places he had
so long defled. AS discriminating

A DIsCREDITED OFFICIAL

The chief complaint against the
Postoffice Department is not so much
its partisan exploitation as thn de-
moralized service 1t IS giving. At
time like this, when every citizen and
every business interest is called upon
to make great sacrifices, 1t Is abso-
lutely necessary that the postal serv'
ice, which plays such an important
part in modern commerce, should be
above criticism In the performance OF
it's duties. The wheels Of business
cannot turn rapidly and smoothly
when the postal service fails them;
and theory Of economy that curtails
the postal service to build up \ snr-
plus of few millions at the loss OF
untold millions to the business inter
ests is shorts!ghted. to say the least
In his annual report Postmaster
General Burlcson Is glowinSly enthu-
siastic over the postal savings feature
OF the Department, and ne audS tnS
unfortunate statement: ut has been
the experience Of the Department
that the greatest reforms In the
postal service have met the most VIC
lent opposition when proposed. This
was true Of the rural delivery, postal
savings and the parcel post" The
Congressional Record shows that
when the postal savings bill was up
in the House Mr.. Burleson was a
member of that body and voted
against the bill. Moreover, every
Democrat in the House who voted
at all voted against. the bill Only
one Democrat in the Senate voted for
the bill. A man who Is so forgetful
of his past record, and who partisanly
tries to weave in an implied reproach
on the Republicans in an official docu'
ment. is not entitled to any charitable
consideration.
