War and Universal raining
By III. NJ. BYLLESBY. President
Arkansas Valley R'y Light and Power Co

An article by II. NJ. Byllesby ap.
peared in tie Chicago Daily News of
September 3, concerning the subject
of the necessity of the United States
exerting every fort to win the war,
particularly with reference to the
training of millions of men. The ar
ticle is quoted in full:
The supreme and oyershadowing
issue before the American people is to
win the war and secure the safety of
our national life. Nothing must stand
in the way of this. We face the most
cruel, the most desperate and the
most efficient foe that ever waged
war. one whose preparation for the
conflict was complete TO the last de.
tail. The war was of the kaiser's
seeking. He planned and prepared
for it for years and he was the only
one ready when the crisis came.
Therefore. at the start, being
ready, he swept everything before
him and now at the close of the third
year his line is strongly intrenched in
the west. where he holds Belgium and
considerable part of France and so
far the allies have not been success
full in dislodging him except here and
there. On the east Russia is falling
gack. The kaiser holds in grutal sub
lection ravished and ruined Serbia.

tinues they will soon tap the wheat
and oil fields of the Black Sea coun-
try. and then their two great needs.
food and oil. will be relieved. This
will enable Germany to continue for
long period.
'To win. the allies must smash Ger
mans line. and to DO this requires
greatly superior force to that needed

do not deceive ourselves or be misled

THE |. w. W.

The Denver Express is more or less
a radical labor paper. 1t is strong for
the t-nion and takes the side OF Union
labor on every possible occasion
The Denver Express would not nat
uraliy be prejudiced against the I. w.
Wit would naturally be for most
any movement started under the

So it Is interesting to see what the
Denver Express has TO say OF the l..

AS A MAN THINKS? so is HE.

John IN. Robertson member of parliament for Great
Britain in remarkable book just issued in the form of
open letter to professor of the Berlin university
deals with the fundamental differences between Britain
and Germany. He quotes paragraph from Motley. an
old English essayst historian that sets forth the
German character forcbly and plainly that it is re-
produced here follows:
"Instil his earliest infancy into the
idea that he belongs to another, is the property
of another let everything around proceed upon
this idea: LET there be nothing TO interfere with
it. suspicion in his mind to the contrary,
and he will yield entirely to that idea. He will
take his own deprivation of right the necessity
of his subservience to another. matter
of course And that idea of himself will keep
him in order He will grow up with the i'm
preston that he has not the right of ownership
in himself. in his passions. any more than he has
in his work He will thus be coerced from
within himself. but not by himself; l. e. not by
any active faculty of sefcommand. but by the
