WHY NOT THINK OF THE

For two years and half Americans
have been allied emotionally with ma.
tons at war. A person different to the
fate of one pr the. other of the two
sets of combatants in Europe would
be difficult to find in the United States.
At times the intensity of emotion here
has been almost the intensity of emo.
ton in nation at war.
During this time American opinion
has been affected by the fortunes OF
other nations. American sympathies
have been abroad. The pro.ally was
detected by the German successes in
nssnulting the Verdun fortresses and
elated when the Somme battle seemed
70 have prospect OF substantial gain.
The Pro-Gerfnan has been distressed
by reports of suffering in Germany
and has been exhilarated by German
military achievements.

donary in the emotions of all these
people because the cared less for their

AT least three departments of state
government will have to operate with
care during the next few months or
more. They are the military, prohibit.

running the military affairs OF the
state, the fund is not in excess OF $500.
For printing there is a deficit already
of something like $4,000, and the pro-
