Record Gains.

The second phase of the great battles
of Arras. the Aisne and Champagne
has ended in the complete failure of
the most determined and costly Ger

result of Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's supreme effort to regain the

on the German line and have placed in
great peril the key positions held by
the Germans in northern France. The

Drocourt-Queant line, already prac-

Leader Of Pro-0ermans.

Count Tisza, the 'iron man" OF Aus
tria- Hungary, has been for many years
the leader of the pro-German party In
the dual monarchy and was the last
survivor of the little group OF states
men who surrounded Emperor FRANCIS
Joseph when the European war pesan.
On the accession of Emperor Charies
the, majority of the officials OF the
nreyious regime were either dismissed
or resigned. There have been persist
ent reports from many sources tnat
Emperor. Charles keenly. resented the
dominance Of Berlin in Austro-Hun-
garian affairs, and that Count Tisza
was the one great obstacle which pre-
vented him from freeing his empire
from the influence of Potsdam.
There have been several reports re-
Gently that the fall of Premier Tisza
was imminent, but the rigid censorship
imposed by Vienna has prevented the
outside world from learning the exact
condition of affairs. At the outbreak
of the war a truce was declared be-
tween the political parties in Hungary,
but last August Count Apponyi, leader
of the liberals and strong opponent
of the an-Germans, announced that
the truce was ended and that he would
resume criticism of the government S
foreign policy. He was joined by
Count Karolyi, president OF the Hun
garian independent party. and the two
popular leaders instituted q vigorous
Campaign against Count Tisza for his
failure to carry out franchise and otner
democratic reforms.

Not a Time for sectionalism.

The people of Washington should open
their hearts and their. purse strings
for this reunion" declared Representa-
tive Ragsdale Of South Carolina. who
said that there is not a city in the
country that would not be willing to
pay any price for the privilege Of en-
tertaining the veterans. He directed at
tention to the fact that in the train
ing camp for officers in the Reserve
Corps of the Army at Fort Myer are
the sons of scores of men who fought
for "the blue" and also the sons of those
who fought In gray during the civil war.
These young men are now training for a
common cause. the defense of the coun-
try. All sectionalism has been wiped out,

At this time when twenty-five
countries of the world are virtu-
ally at war with Germany in or
der that Prussian atrocity may
be checked and civilization spar
ed, many things must be consid
cred that cannot be done in a
moment. First, the world must
be fed, and to do that, there
must be food. Potatoes were
asked for in abundance, and
growers produced them. Now,
just because storage and trans
portation cannot take immediate
care of the crop, do not play in
to the hands of the food hogs"

ed. Try to help the government
a little by doing what you can to
keep the potatoes in good con-
dition until later.

Oar Growing Army.

Statistics as to the size of our
present military establishment
assign over 100000 men to the
National Guard actually in SER
vice says the Philadelphia In
quirer. 1t was presumed that
there were 100, 900 less, but now
comes the statement that this
number also is to be added to
those already in the ranks.
Drafted men will be used to
make up 400, 900.
The Regular Army now consists
of 295, 900 men, the Marines of
almost 10000 and the Navy is
rapidly approaching $50, 900,
which is expected to be the maxi
mum. Counting various auxili-
ary services there are now in the
various branches a total of more
than 100000 men, to which
687, 900 are to be added by con-
scription, making a tai of
almost a million and a half.
This is a larger number Of SOL
diers than this country has ever
contained. In the last few
months of. the Civil War there
were just over one million men
in the Federal army, Of whom
many were not present with the
colors. while the Confederates
had perhaps 300, 600 nominally in
the ranks.
Announcement is made that a
second call of 500, 900 is soon to
be made and that with other ad-
ditions we shall have approxi-
mately 100000 fighting men
early next year. At any other
time in history this would have
seemed a notable achievement,
but Great Britain did better with
half the population to draw upon.
1t is evident that she has been
conserving her strength and
that with what did come from
this country, is preparing to
strike a blow at the last moment
which will be crushing to the
enemy.
We are taking the war very
quietly in this country, but when
our share of fighting begins it is
likely that we shall be more en-
thused.

Some Liberty Loan Items.

New York banks are said by
the New York Times to now hold
very small blocks of Liberty
Bonds. This is accounted for by
the fact that most of these banks
received only a relatively small
amount of the bonds they SUBJ
scribed for, and that they have
made sales to their customers of
those they did receive under the
allotment. The fact that the
banks are not loaded down with
bonds is regarded by the Times
as denoting a very healthy con-
dition for the Liberty Loan bond
market as it shows that there is
a popular demand for the bonds.
The New York Sun says that
the astounding leap in the num-
Der of bond investors from the
comparatively small numbers of
bond holders previous to the
Liberty Loan Bond sale to over
four million subscribers to the
Liberty Loan Bonds has opened
the eyes of the banking world to
the enormous possibilities which
will undoubtedly be at their dis
posal for placing the second
government loan. The people,
it states, have been impressed
with the advantage of saving and
lending money to the govern
ment.
