The Tanks,

The "tanks" which figure with such ef-
fectiveness in the British drive are much
improved over tho machines that as
founded the Germans little more than
q year ago on the 6omme front, and they
were sent out in the Cambria attack
with fairer field Of operation. The
absence Of heavy preparatory artillery
firing left the field Of their operation
smoother for them than that ever which
they worked at the Somme. They, In
fact, replaced tho artillery in the level
ing Of wire entanglements without CIV
ing warning Of the attack. By means
Of these armored motor batteries tho
British forces were enabled to advance
under cover, and evidently they did SO
with much smaller losses than II they
had moved cover the top" unprotected.
The tank has proved its value as one
Of tho war inventions not originated by
the Germans.

italy Holds the Line.

For several days the Teutonic forces
have been pounding at the Italian lines
east Of Lake Garda in a desperate eff
fort to break them and descend to the
plains Of Venetia. The Italians have
held of the assailants and now appear
to be able to maintain their positions.
It is reported that French and British
troops have arrived and are In posi-
ton in reserve. Apparently the great
Austro- German thrust has been checked.
Meanwhile Germany's own lines in
France have been broken and the Sc
curity Of the German position from the
sea to the Alps menaced by deep drive
into the center by the British. It is,
therefore, urgently important for Ber-
lin to order reinforcements to tho west
front. There can be no further con-
centration in the south. It may thus
be that the drive against Italy has
passed its maximum and that it has
failed. As long as Italy holds the line
the territorial losses already suffered
are of no material advantage to the GEN.
trail powers. The real seat Of the war
is in France and Flanders, where Ger
many is steadily, If slowly, losing.

Every house in Washington should
show food pledge card in the front
window. There are thousands Of them
today that do not display this sign of
practical patriotism. Every person who
does not thus show the food pledge card
is actually on the defensive, to explain
why. And it is hard matter to ex-
plain. It is difficult to justify a refusal
to proclaim thus by card in the window
that that household is helping to win
the war by contributing through substi-

War Governors.

q The Governor Of Nebra.ka has re-
signed his Office to enter the Army. He
is to go to the war as the colonel Of a
Nebraska regiment.
The feeling that has prompted this
step is most praiseworthy. It testifies
to man Of spirit, Of the Army age, who
believes in the war, and wants to par
tieipate in the hardships and dangers Of
the struggle. He wants to do his bit,
Sword in hand.
Still, there was largo opportunity for
service in the governorship Of tho Black
water state. There Is, indeed, in the
govsrnorships Of all the states. The men
in high civil Office must bestir them
selves. They have large powers; and all
such powers must be vigorously and in
tsAigently exercised now in support Of
the national aim and obligations.

equal In effect the performances Of John
A. Andrew In the governors chair. Tho
war governor Of the Bay state was one
Of Mr.. Lincoln's mainstays.
And the same was true Of New York,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and other states.
Commanders from those states fought
we'll, but were not as important to the
cause in their places as the governors at
homo were In theirs. Those civil off,
ciais behind tho lines were charged
with duties which none but trained civil
ians could successfully perform, and
which they performed in q way to make
their states invaluable in the conflict.
Whether Andrew, or Morgan. or Cur
tin, or Morton would have succeeded In
the Army is question. They were men
of quick faculties and indomitable cour-
age, and possessed other soldier-like
qualities But they would have had to
learn the trade Of 8 soldier, whereas
they already knew that Of civil magis-
trate. Hence their greater value to the
country in the places they were filing
and which they continued to Fill.
This war should develop some excel
lent war governors. 1t has already de-
veloped one. Gov. Mccall was reelected
in Massachusetts partly on the strength
Of the energy he had been showing in
war matters since the declaration Of hos
tiities.

The House Minority Leadership.

LIS 6pPCd1Co IL CStCAony DS0As
difficulties over republican leader
ship in the House during the approach
ing session promise to be revived be-
cause Of Minority Leader Mann's i'll
health. Representative Mann has re-
turned to Washington somewhat I'm
proved in physical condition since Con-
gress adjourned. but said today he did
not expect to be able to remain here
much of the time this winter"
If the necessity arises-everybody will
hope it may MOTT will not be an easy
matter for the republicans Of the House
to find a new leader measuring up to
the standard Mr.. Mann has established.
He has shown great diligence in the
place, as well as thorough knowledge Of
parliamentary law and practice. he Is
a ready and good-tempered debater,
without frills or fustian. He has never
been caught asleep at the switch. He
has met successfully some trying emer-
gencies He is very much respected as
man and legislator on both sides of the
chamber.
At the special session, Mr.. Mann, who
was on deck and in good fettle during
the greater part Of the time, gave full
support to the administration in all war
measures. Partisanship did not mark
any speech he made or vote he cast on
any matter relating to the entrance Of
this country into the hostilities raging.
Presumably, in any part he may take
in future while the war lasts, he will
continue to have regard as single for
the country's welfare.
At the regular session, however, bust
ness calling for partisan divisions will
come up. The record of the session will
enter into the campaign for control of
the next Congress. That campaign will
be fought on partisan lines. Democrats
and republicans will square of as usual
while the socialists, perky from this
years display Of strength, viii enter
the fight under partisan banner. In q
word, notwithstanding the war, which
will receive full measure Of attention,
politics will be much in evidence during
the next twelve months, beginning next
month.
This will have to be taken into ac-
count by the minority leader Of the
House; and it will require skill for him
while meeting the requirements to keep
his leadership free from criticism. Tho
opposition will watch him closely, and
be swift to pounce on him if any posi-
BILE connection can be established be-
tween any attitude he may take and OBJ
struction to any feature Of the war pro-
gram.
If it shall turn out that Mr.. Mann's
indisposition calls for rest, It is to be
hoped that he may be able to I'LL tho
role Of adviser on important party ques-
tons, and thus insure both to his party
and the country the benefit Of his largo
information and long experience.

even though it does not 60 to the point
Of destroying property. It is designed
to destroy faith, which is worse even
than the blowing up of mills or ships.
1t takes the form Of the spreading Of
stories, lies Of the first water, calculated
to shake confidence in the honesty and
efficiency Of the government and the
agencies associated with it in the prose
cution Of the war.
These lies relate to the camps, describ-
ing them as swept by sickness, the scenes
Of terrible suffering among the men.
They tell Of the overlooking and also the
underfeeding Of troops. They tell of
graft In the food and fuel administra-
tions, graft in the Red Cross, the sale of
supplies particularly the sale of sweat
ers knitted by the people-of the prod
igal waste Of public money in construc-
ton work and war relief measures.
The latest lie takes the form of an al
legged letter from an American soldier
TO member Of his family here, telling
of serious battles fought by our troops
in France, in which our losses are ter
ribly heavy. These lying letters are
planted in public places, writing rooms,
hotel lobbies and other points where
people are continually passing. Need
less to say that the letters are all false,
written here and designed to spread the
belief that the United States is engaged
In losing venture.
All Of these lies are deliberately in
vented and put forth with the knowl-
edss that the people are prone to be-
ieve unfayorable insinuations and
charges. The Sweater" lie persists de-
spite the most specific official denials.
It ID to be heard on every side, and yet
nobody has yet been found who has the
tale at first hand. It is always "around
the corner" There are at least two in
tsrvening persons. This is the funda-
mental nature of rumor, the source Of
which is never reached.
It is the duty Of patriotic persons to
esmbat this seditious Islander, whatever
form it tales. Whoever spreads these
reports IS committing a grave wrong.
To repeat any one of these malicious
lies, designed to discourage contribu-
lions to the war cause, in funds or goods
Or service, Is aiding the German propa-
sanda, Is practically joining it.
