LONDON. July 30.-Britain's part in
the past three years OF war may be
told in three words.
Procrastination; Preparation; Pro
gress
In the first year. besides doing very
many things she should not have
done, she left undone most OF the
things she should have done.
Il was not until the second year
was we'll under way that the people OF
Britain woke up Having finally sensed
that Il was a mans sized war, they
began TO prepare-almost too late, but
with a thoroughness that went far to
overcome the effects Of their former
dilatoriness.
with her industries az last organ
ICED on a world-war basis. Britain
started supplying her troops with
proper quantities OF the right sort OF
guns and SHELLS. the lack OF which
had already caused near disaster on
the western front. IL took her nearly
two years TO learn that the voluntary
system OF recruiting was a failure, and
then she adopted conscription. With
characteristic lack OF imagination she
took no thought of the economic to-
morrow. Unappreciating the possibili-
ties OF German frightfulness she
failed to conserve and upbuild her
food and shipping resources-until
again it was almost too late.
Most OF Brtains sins OF omission
and commission in this war are trace
able 10 the fact that she first tried
to run it with the governmental ma
chinery OF peace. The lawyer-poli.
tlcians composing her cabinet who FOL
some years had been very successfully
conducting a peace-time government
proved unequal to the very difereni
task OF war Believing their troubles
lay in the party government system
they next tried the coalition scheme

That was even worse, as was late

FROM A PATRIOTIC GERMAN
AMERICAN

The following letter, clipped from
the Sioux City Journal, has been
handed to The Banner for publication
Sioux City, Iowa, April S, 1917.
To the Editor:
l have seen several articles in The
Journal about Germans trying to raise
strife in this country. l am German
by birth, but ! am an American by
heart and hand. l will tell you why
| left Germany. There were ten in our
family and we were poor like the most
of my countrymen who came to the
good old United States of America to
get away from oppression, and it was
hard matter to keep the wolf away
from the door at times. When land
ed in this country I secured work at
once and received more money for
one months work than 1 got in Ger
many for one years work. | sent for
my folks and am proud that they are
all true American citizens and will
answer the presidents cab to arms
against Germany or any other country
when needed.
l don't see how my countrymen can
go back on Uncle Sam. They came
here without cent and made money
here; now they want to fight the
country that feeds them. The kaiser
never did anything for them or for
me- If he had we would be there yet.
All he did was to start this cruel war
and starve all our people there, and
make soldiers out of everybody and
force them to work for his dirty II
cents a day with a fourth of a pound
of meat and loaf of black bread. |
hope to see the day when he is kicked
out of Germany and president put
in his place. You don't see any Amer
leans going over there for jobs or to
any other nation. They are happy
here and don't owe any allegiance to
any king or kaiser. hope Uncle Sam
will win. Hurrah for President Will
son!
Stop all foreign papers printed in
United States. If they can't read Eng
fish let them learn; and keep all for
eign languages out of the schools.
The English language is good enough
for anybody.
Yours for America,
JACOB CRAFTS.
