KEEP THE PEOPLE POSTED

United States Senator Frclinghuyscn of New Jersey believes that it is for the best interests of the country to have every citi- zen fully informed of the progress of the war and that ''pitilcss publicity" should be the policy of the government. Speaking on resolution for the investigation by the naval affairs committee of the killing of the two Red Cross nurses on the Mongolia he said:
 This is not a one-man war; this is not the President $ war, nor the war of the war department OF the navy department. This is war of the American people, and every American citizen is called upon, or will be called upon, to render the highest degree of service of which he or she is capable, to- ward a successful issue of this supreme struggle. Such being the ease, every citi- Zen of the republic has the right to know .hc facts and that right I sustain"
 Senator Frclmghuyscn is right and this country will do we'll to profit by the lesson of England. During the early part of the war Englmd' policy was sccrctive and non- until repeated mistakes culmm- atcd in dcmoralization. Then the country woke up, dropped secrecy and found her self. keep the people posted is good motto for the government to adopt right at tine beginning of the war.

SUPREMACY IN THE AIR

To win the war the United States and her allies must establish superiority over thc enemy in the air. on land and on sea. In the air they now have the advantage but it is mot great enough to be decisive. On land they are superior today in artillery but Germany and her allies have the ad- vantage in occupied territory. On the sea Germany still holds the advantage through her mmdcrouS submarines.
 Military experts are rapidly becoming converted to the belief that air supremacy is going to be the deciding factor in the war. The defeat of the submarine menace will open the way for coordination of new and old world forces. Bigger and still big ger guns will drive the enemy back slowly it is doing so now. But control of the air in connection with supremacy on sea and in artillery means demoralization to the enemy. There must be not merely enough air machines to make perfunctory obser- vations. There must be enough to hunt down the submarines. There must be enough to fight the enemy in the air and drive enemy machines out of existence by their numbers Then there must be enough to enable airmcn to peer down behind the German lines chart every inch of ground, every gun and every regiment. This war will be won when the ground back of the German breastworbs is an open book to the allies
 The United States and her allies already have am advantage in the air. Their fliers possess the initiative, the quick minds and the individuality that the overdisciplined .Tcutons lack. They need the further advan- tage of preponderance in the number of machines and it must be an overwhelming 'prepondcrancc. America's initial invest ment of $6OO,OOO,OO0 to $1,0O0OOO,OOO ex- .pcnditmc proposed by the aircraft board of the national defense council is not too great

MrsT GIVE FREELY

There is bu. one way of looking at the present war situation and it is this way: Every day brings forth developments that point mcrriugly to one conclusion and that is that the war must bc won through the additional strength the United States will give thc allies. Neither England OF France, particularly the former, are short of men but they were short of both money and credit when the United States got into the game and now that she is tn. the harder aud quicker she is able to strike. the sooner thc war will bc over.
 The food situation is colossal one and ouc which must. to great extent, be met by Americans. md it is up to every Amcri- cam to help meet jt in every way possible by giving of their time, energy and money and by giving generously.
 With a wcl-cquippcd army we'll armed well fcd and the wounded we'll cared fer when they are unable to longer remain on the front. there is no good aud sufficient rcaso,, why ,hc war should uo, be of short duration. The United States can, from her abundant resources, provide for her allies that are now practically exhausted so far as slmplic, are concerned and by SD doing will put new life, new fighting spirit and new determination to win into the soldiers of these countries which have been fighting our battles for us for the past nearly three years and while we have. as nation, been pilmg up the dollars.
 Bur now that America is in the war; every patriotic man should be content if his business ''brcaks even" until victory is wou This is mo time for money grab hing or money grubbmg. Stand behind the government and lend am assisting hand on every occasiou The government js only as strong as thc people make it. Do your share aud victory is ccuam-ayc anal speedy.

FOR THE FLAG AND FREEDOM

Was Lexington a mistake!
 Ought there never to have been victory at Yorktownl
 Was Washington a mad man because he suffered thru the winter at Valley Forge
 The spirit that fought at Lexington and Gettysburg and Manilla Bay is the spirit that calls upon the nation to fight now. These episodes are but chapters in a story yet mriuishcd-the story of liberty enlarg- ing it's bounds, of democracy sweeping wid- cr horizons. We who have written such glorious chapters in the past, shall we take mo part in writing the great new chapter!
 For no years the flag has never faltcred when the cause of freedom called it. It is calling uow.-Rocky Mountain News.
