THE GAME OF WAR.

Herbert Sidebotham, an English military
critic of recognized acumen, makes Illuminating
comment in the current Atlantic on the strategy
and tactics Of the war. Strategy IS half poll
tics, he SAYS, and must be based on clear con-
ception of the political ends Of the conflict.
Tactics is half business. Its end is to infllc!
the maximum of loss on the enemy with a
minimum to yourself; and alike in strategy and
tactics, convention and dogma are the enemies
of success. In his opinion, Napoleon's dictum
that the moral is to the material in three
to one, still holds. Superior animal spirits wins
battles and men succeed because they feel that
they can. The Germans who made the mistake
Of attaining their maximum energy at the out
set soon came to suffer from discoura cement as
the war was prolonged beyond their eZpecta-
tons, and the knowledge that they were fight
ing not to increase their gains but to hold them
gave them the feeling Of going down hill II
would seem that in war as in a race the maxi
mum effort cannot be put forth safely at the
start
1t is, however, the general conclusions of this
critic as to wars in general that they are OF
greatest interest. If they are to survive the
whole art of contest at arms must be revised.
There are conclusive reasons why this must be
the last conflict in which the manhood of the
nations will be under arms. War with armies
of millions is becoming an impossibility, and

Patriotism of the Jew..

New York Times: The Jewish pop

tutes about twenty per cent. of the
total, l. e., there is one Jew to every

than gratifying to hear that among
the first quota of two Thousand who
went from Greater New York to Camp
Upton, Yaphank, l.. l., about fifteen
agndred, nearly seventy-fve per cent,
were Jewish young men. As is well
known, the first contingent of the ma
tional army consisted of volunteers,
who could have-had they so desired

those who are acquainted with the un-
daunted patriotism of American Jews
there will be nothing surprising In
this overwhelming number Of Jewish
enlisted men who fastened to take
their place in the ranks of Americas
lighting forces. As for those-fortu-
nateIy few-wfo attempted to SOW

the population of this country-we be-

BONDS STRONG BOX.

Charles ]. Keller: ''If bought the
burned thing what'ud l do with it?
Can't carry a bond around in my
jeans, you know"
That was one of the difficulties
| that faced the first offering of Lib
erty loan bonds The people were
willing and they had the money. But
| they did not know where to put a
bond If they bought one. Safety de-
posit boxes are not found on every
stump about the farm and they are
scarce even in many a good sized
| town. Besides, most people in the
| city do not own boxes and the yearly
| cost of the smallest of chests would
take the income from a hundred dol
lar bond.
| But the difficulty is being sur
| mounted in various ways. The Penn
/ sylvania railroad, for one has come
forward with plan that thousands
of employers will copy. The Penn
| sylvania has addressed to its en-
ployes a circular in which it expresses
this idea: do not let the question
of caring for your bond keep you
from buying one. Buy the bond and
turn it over to the treasurer Of the
| Pennsylvania system. The road will
|
accept all the responsibility Of Gus
todianship. Your bond will be kept
in the same sort of place in which a
big bank keeps it's treasure. When
the interest is due the road will clip
| your coupon, collect the amount
coming to you and send you check
! for it. When you want your bond
| for any purpose 1t will be turned
! over to you upon demand"
| Now, that is q very helpful idea.
Every business house has safety de.
post facilities and can secure from
! its bankers special service. In TAX,
/ ing the bonds Of it's employees for
! safe keeping and in assuming legal
responsibility therefor, the manage
ment would run little, If any, risk.
/ The employe would be relieved Of
the only difficulty standing between
| him and the ownership of a govern
ment security. He would respect his
employer for coming to his aid in this
their mutual patriotic endeavor, and
| the employer would respect his man
| for having become an investor and a
| participant in the financing Of the
war Both would have the satisfac-
ton of a patriotic action done and
| their relations would thenceforth DE
better even. than before.
But the Pennsylvania idea may Do
extended beyond the field Of business.
| Take the thousand and one churches,
| lodges, societies, unions, associations
and oteer fraternal, social, Industrial
and religious organizations. Each
of them could rent Liberty loan
safety deposit box. One So box would
hold half a hundred bonds. The cost
would, collectively, amount to moth
ing. The members Individually could
not afford safe. but through the
action of their association they would
have absolute security without cost

Clark replied he could subpoenae as

Stephens Gaid frankly that his pur-
pose is the expulsion of Heflin, IL the
latter is unable to substantiate his al
legations.

TAKING OVER THE SHIPS.

All doubt of the wisdom of the government g
decision to requisition every American mer-
chant ship of more than two thousand, five
hundred tons is removed by frank expressions
of approval by the heads of important ship
ping lines The manager of the Southern Pa
cifc Steamship company summed up the sltua-
ton by saying: 1.-The government needs the
ships, and we are with the government" 1t Is
understood that most of the vessels, except
those required for direct government service,
will be turned back to their owners for opera
ton on government account, but all will be
subject to the orders of the shipping board.
Rates will be much lower than present charges
Hor carving government supplies, but they
NAV be revised at any time in the interest Of
fairness.
Gradually, but satisfactorily to all con-
cerned, the country's shipping problems are
being solved. Many ships are building, and
everything afloat under the American flag will
be used to win the war. There is no hesita-
ton. no needless delay. Everywhere is seen in
slant and cordial response by private owners to
governmental needs. It is believed that within
six months every American ship available for
ocean service will be engaged in supplying
American troops and warships abroad, or in
trade required in carrying on the war. There
will be Temporary loss and inconvenience due to
the withdrawal Of ships from regular trade
routes, but the remedy may be found in the en-
27oy1nent Of neutral tonnage and the admission
Of foreign vessels to the coastwlse trade.
