Let Us Hope A. Much A. We May.

Perhaps the best news Of the past 48
hours, or for many previous days for
the matter Of that. is that new Russia"
has assumed the aggressive against the
central powers. That news, combined
with the significant utterance of Pre-
mier Lloyd George Of England, gives
new hope that the end may not be far
distant. OF course, we must not per-
nit such hopes to run too high, for the
German people are a wonderful people,
as wonderful in their fealty to the bru-
tai system that has grown out Of the
selfish ambition that has become he
rcditary as they could be if endowed
with high purpose. They have grown,
aged. died and grown again in the be
lief that they MUST rule the world,
az. that any means necessary to attain
their end are justified by ME und
Colt"
Premier Lloyd George in an address
at Dundee, Scotland. Saturday. said:
I'VE have driven the great army Of
Germany under ground. When a
great army is driven to these tactics
il is the beginning of the end; it
means that we are pounding a sense
of inferiority into every pore of the
German military mind.
1T is good for the war. is even better
for after the war. AS long as the
Prussians have an idea Of superiority
in their minds Europe will not be de-
cent place for people to live in in
peace. 1t will be easier after this"
Germany had hoped to hold Russia
Inactive until after this years crops
are harvested. even could not sep
arate peace be established. An armis-
tice was offered for the period of the
elections to the Russian constitutional
convention. on the preteXt that the
central allies desires a stable govern
ment with which to do business. AS
these elections come Sept. 80, the sum-
mer campaign could thus be devoted
entirely to the west front. Russia S
reply is an attack on an extensive scale.

II the war is not ended, then Germany
Is to undergo hardships beyond all pre-
Nous experience. Without doubt
measures of export control by the
United States will halt vast quantities
OF food that are now reaching Germany
through neutral countries. United
States forces and food and war supplies
will be increased every day from now
on: while the trans Siberian railway
Is now carrying food and munitions to
the limit of its last pound Of capacity
from the Far East. Japan would send
a million men but food and munitions

By their gods of battle shouting,

Shall fair France thus bleed and suffer

For hours men shook the atmosphere.

And in his mind strange figures stirred.

Used up to let his heart rejoice.
