These same figures also show that
small towns are less healthful and
more unsanitary than actual rural

These towns of from several hun
dred to a few thousand have the con-
gestion of people without any of the
safeguards thrown about such con-
gestion in cities. There is no pro-
tected water supply; no sewer system;
no public health supervision. Prtvy

in the same general community with
out danger of trouble.

slight increase this week, and the
shipping is being gradually reduced,
not as fast as the Germans hoped
for, but faster than the allies can
| afford to have it.
ON RUSSIAN FRONT.
On the Russian front the retreat
continues at reduced speed. and
virtually no Austrian territory is
now held by the Russians. Reports
of contemplated German drive on
Odessa are current. This would
mean the capture of great stretch
of Russia's most productive wheat
country and her chief port on the
Black sea, one OF the great grain
terminals of the world. The bitter
est feature of the German advance is
that they are capturing British and
French artillery and airplanes which
could not well be spared from the
western front, and that they now
threaten to capture precious supplies
of grain which the blockade and the
embargo are aimed to keep from
them. But it is still a long way to
Odessa, and neither Germany nor
Austria, it is thought. can spare the
men for a great offensive movement
of this nature, while the allies are
taking such heavy toll in the west.
General Korniloff, on taking COM
mand of the Russian armies, an
nounced that the war had entered
its second phase. He may have
intended to convey the idea that the
Russian armies would again become
factor.
1t is evident that the war is rapid
ly approaching that condition pre-
dicted by Kitchener. who said it
would continue three years, and that
the country with the last million Of
fresh men to throw into it would
win. The condition of the prisoners
captured in Belgium shows most
plainly that Germany is fighting with
desperation instead of hope. The
allies, with greatly. superior artillery
and air forces, are taking a terrific
toll in Belgium, and the situation is
ripe for America to deliver the tell
ing blow. With Russia in her pres
ent condition there seems to be little
chance for this country to make her
force felt to a sufficient extent to
gain a military decision this fall, but
If Germany does not sue for peace
before spring, she will face such
hopelessly superior forces that to
continue the war would be to invite
humiliation.

about their war business.
Well, I tell you the Germans know
how to handle the Pacifists-and the
Pacifists don't know that they are
being handled either. Why, look at
Germany before the war-pIenty of
them, Pacinsts-who did not Believe
in war! Socialists, workers who said
they would never fight against their
brother workers of other countries.
Did they refuse to fight? They did
not. The Kaiser whistled and snap
ped the fingers and all the little
doggies came running with their
tails wagging-everyone carried his
gun and wore his helmet. They be-
lieved that Germany was being at

United States says 1t has been at

It's fine! It's greatl It means
that they got respect for Germany,
on both sides of the ocean. Over
there they don't dare to talk against
fighting, over here they help US by
marking 1t harder for Uncle Sam.
And q lot of 'em don't seem to
know how German they are. You
see they say that this is not Ameri-
cas- war and that If this country
stays out, 1t will be safe whether
Germany wins OF not. wish we
could make everybody think that.
II would shorten the present war for
US. Then Germany could collect
from whoever has the money.
Well, they're all helping us and
I'm in favor of helping them the
Pacifsts mean-but 1t is best to
send money in through some way SO
that it don't look like German money,
so as to keep the pinheads fooled.
